.'SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Cleveland, July 15. Governor Camp
bell's prediction, that he would be nomi
nated on the first ballot in the Democratic
State Convention and that he would receive
S00 oies, was literally fulfilled this after
noon, -when the Governor went sailing
through on the first call of the roll, with
scarcely enough opposition to make the
pyent interesting. He received COS 7-16
voles.
The anxiety of the party leaders is now
directed to the absorbing query: "Will
Hamilton county support the ticket?" If
the Cincinnati delegates in their manifesta
tritib of relcntles opposition and hostility
to-day truly represent the feelings of their
people, then the conclusion is irresistible
that a considerable portion of the Democrats
of Hamilton county will not support Gov
ernor Campbell in the November election.
u every possible occasion, as well after as
Wlore Campbell's nomination, the mere
mention of His name was sufficient to pro
voke vigorous hisses from the Cincinnati
delegates.
Even when his nomination was formally
announced and Mr. Kline's friends, in ac
cordance with the time-honored custom,
moved to make the nomination of James E.
Campbell unanimous, the Hamilton county
friends of 3Ir. Xeal persistently refused to
permit the seal of harmony to be stamped I
on the record and loudly voted "Xo," as I
thev hissed the name of the nominee. I
they hissed the name of the nominee.
Neal Sulks in His Tent.
The persistent refusal of Xeal, Governor
Campbell's defeated opponent, to appear
before the convention and "tell how he
stands," even after a committee had been
appointed to convey to him the formal in
vitation, has contributed more than every
thing else to the feeling of anxietv which
pervades the Democratic" ranks this even
ing It is generally the ordeal inflicted
upon every defeated candidate that he must
mount the stage and tell how gratified he
is, after all, that such a good man as his
opponent has received the nomination; but
2eal persistently refused to undergo this
ordeal and the question now is, was this re
fusal actuated by mortification and wound
ed pride, or does it mean that Neal throws
down tho gauntlet and will permit his
Hamilton county friends to fight Governor
Campbell at the polls?
The Campbell majority managed the con
vention with consummate tact. The knotty
pirliamentarv questions were quickly and
decisively dfsposed of by rulings generally
to the advantage of the dominant
section, and roll calls on points of
order and appeals from the Chair's
decisions were averted. At the same time
the majority received with all the philoso
phical resignation of the victor the taunts
and accusations that were thrown at them
and their candidate by the anti-Campbell
faction, thus probabl v averting a calamitous
row, which would likely have resulted had
all these gibes been returned in kind.
A Too Lengthy Prayer.
Hon. James Norton, Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee, called
the convention to order and prayer by the
Rev. Mr. Campbell was offered. After the
prayer Norton made a short speech in which
lie congratulated tho convention on the
glorious prospects of a Democratic victory
in Ohio this tail and in the nation next year.
The prajcr was too long. The reverend
gentleman prayed for every officer of the
oovornment from President down to road
commissioner. Tho Thurman Quartet Club,
of Columbus, then sang a political song, in
which everybody was welcomed.
When Mr. Norton introduced tho tempor
ary Chairman of the convention, the Hon.
Allen W. Thurman, of Columbus, son of the
Old Roman, the convention went w ild. The
name of Thurman is dear to every true
Democrat of Ohio. Thurman flist paid his
re-peets to Fire Alarm Foraker, and tho
ilit sentence was loudlv cheered. He said:
"Governor Foraker said, in his speech nom
inating McKinlo that even the Devil him-t-elf
could not kill the Democratic party,
hich means that he and the Republican
party could not kill it."
Tho Old Roman's ITaml Tlslble.
Thurman commended Governor Campbell
and tho Democratic Legislature and spoke
of tho iniquities of tho McKinley tariff law.
Tho speech was well received. Thurman's
speech scored McKinley unmercifully and
may bo said to be the keynoto of tho cam
paign. Some parts of it bore the earmarks
of Senator Thurman, and he certainly sug
gested a pait of it, at least. When Thurman
finmhed hisspooch he was loudly cheered.
The report, of the Committee on Perma
nent Organization was received. Thev re
ported for Permanent Chairman, Hon. Frank
c LeBlond, of Mercer county; for Secretary,
Hon. Thomas J. Cogan, of Cincinnati. Both
ol these men are strong Campbell men, and
as bueh were loudly cheered.
A little breeze was then raised by some
delegate offering a resolution that the Amer
ican flag be made tho emblem ot the party
in Ohio, to be printed on all tho tickets un
der tho Australian ballot law. Mnjor Arm
btrong, of Cleveland, offered an amendment
having that the Republicans had taken tho
eagle, and he mo ej that the Democratic
emblem be the rooster. Armstrong's motion
wa carried.

The Cincinnati Squubblo Settled.
A long wrangle was indulged in over the
report of tho Committee on Credentials. It
eems that in Cincinnati tho apportionment
for delegates from Hamilton county was
made on the otefor Governor in 19, which
gave tlicm 62 delegates. Tho State Central
Committee mot afterward and made the
apportionment for Ohio on last ye ir's vote,
giving each county one delegate for everv

After much fighting, loud cat-calls and
yells of "sit down," which each speaker was
met with, and after speeches from Cogan,
Neal,. Judge Ermeeton and others, the ma
jority (or Campbell) report was adopted.
A SpUt on Silver.
General E. B. Finley, Chairman of the
Committee on Resolutions, reported that
they had been in continuous session all
night, and that they were harmonious on all
points saTe one. and that was tho silver
question. Two reports were made. The
majority favored unlimited free coinage of
silver and tho minority did not. A call of
the counties was had, resulting in tho ma
jority report being adopted by a rote of 399
The next thing in order was the presenta
tion of candidates for Governor. Hon. John
F. Follett, of Cincinnati, arose to present
Lawrence T. NenI as a candidate. He said
he belonged to that faction in Cincinnati
canon oy governor uimpueu "stink pots,"
but there was no purer blood in tho Democ

that he sat in the halls of Congress with his
candidate and Allen G. Tburman. (A voice,
"throe cheers for Thurman.") They were
freely given, no did not propose to bo read
out of the Democratic party. His candidato
was always u Democrat. He voted for
Thurman for United States Senator in 1867,
and was the youngest man in the Ohio Leg
islature. "1 nominate Hon. Lawrence T.
Neal." (Loud and long continued cheers.)
S. D. Dodge, of Cleveland, named Hon.
Virgil r. Kline, He said that while Demo
crats differed now when they loft this hall
thero would be one candidate, and that they
would all favor the nominee. He said all
people here. Democrats and Republicans,
love and respect Kline.
RYAN NAMES CAMPBELL.
THE CINCINNATI MAN COUNSELS -PA-.
TBIOTISM AND .HARMONY.
He Fays His Respects to Foraker, McKinley
and the Tariff The Republican Gauge ot
Battle Accepted A Glowing Send-Off
for the Governor.
General Michael Ryan, of Cincinnati, was
given a perfect ovation when ho named
Campbell. The entire convention appeared
to cheer itself hoarse, and the ladies even
caught tho infection and applauded too.
General Ryan said;
"I am a Democrat from Hamilton county.
I am here to contradict the statement that
all Democrats from Hamilton county are op
posed to our present Governor for a renom
ination. I am sent here by a large body of
Democrats from our county'to say to this
convention that they are in harmony, heart
and soul, with the general feeling of the
Democracy throughout the State; that tho
wise, the proper, tho patriotic thing for this
convention to do is to renominate our pres
ent worthy and excellent Governor, Hon.
James E. Campbell.
"It has been intimated by his enemies that
Governor Campbell was not always a Demo
crat. That is true, When n young man in
a Republican district, surrounded by Re-
Sublican influences, he was a Republican:
ut when his conscience and his reason
taught him better he had the courage to be
come a Democrat. Thousands of the best
men in the party to-day aro not Democrats
to the manner born,but llko Governor Camp
bell, are Democrats born of conscience, con
viction and intelligence.
The Great Republican Dictator.
"Two years ago the great Republican
dictator was in the full tide of his power and
glory in this State; surrounded by his
cohorts, an army of offloe holders of his own
making, and backed by the strength and
wealth of the National Republican machine.
It did indeed soom a vain attempt to seek to
defeat Foraker. But nevertheless we put
up James . Campbell against him. Why it
was like putting up David to fight Goliath,
but the fight came oil all the same, and
Goliath was not in it.
"By the nomination of McKinley the Re
publicans have made the tariff an Issue in
ourState election. Itis a desperate attempt
on their part to commit Ohio to MoKlnley-
ism
on the eve of a .Presidential contest.
Thev fear a verdict of the States next yearr
they dread a recurrence of last year's defeat,
lor they see the war-paint on the faces of
the people. Therefore they will have re
course to the most desperate means to at
tain their ends.
The Gauge of Battle Accepted.
"Well, we aocepi tho guage of battle
thrown down to us. Gladly, cheerfully,
willingly will wo fight them on tho lines they
have marked out; for it will be the most as
tounding occurrence of tho century if the
progressive, the intelligent, the enterpris
ing people of Ohio do not put the seal of
their condemnation on class legislation,
high tariff robbery and McKinley in the
coming election.
"We want a Governor who has the courage
to stand by the people irrespective of friend
or loe. We want a Governor who cannot be
cajoled, seduced or brow-beaten in the dis
charge of his duty. We want a man who
possesses firmness of character, executive
ability and tho strong right arm to smite
down'corruptlon whenever it rears its head.
Therefore we want James E. Campbell.
Cheers.
On behalf of pure, unsullied Democracy, I
present to you the name of a man who has
liever.yetinet defeat Hon. James E. Camp
bell." Cheers.
CAMPBELL WINS-EASILY.
HE IS NOMINATED BEFORE HALF THE
COUNTIES ARE CALLED.
A Scene of Wild Excitement After the An
nouncement of the Vote The Cincinnati
Crowd Itefase to Slake It Unanimous
Hisses for the Governor.
Byron Ritchie, of Tolodo, "The Young War
Eagle of the Maumee," seconded the nomi
nation of Campbell, saying the power that
made Campbell Governor could keep him
Governor. It is said that he has enemies, so
he has, but a man without enemies is un
worthy of friends. Ritchie made tho host
speech of the convention, and it was well
leceived. A. W, Bolen, of Riokaway county,
seconded Neal's nomination, after which the
balloting began.
When Hamilton county was called, a great
laugh was occasioned by the Secretary call
ing, "Hamilton county 125 votes." He cor
rected himself at once, however. Cuyahoga
cast 41 votes for Kline. Hamilton 65 for
Ncals and 1 for CampbelL Franklin 25 for
Campbell. Montgomery ditto. The cities
w ore about evenly divided between tho can
didates, but the rural counties were pretty
much all for CampbelL When Montgomery
county was reached, it cast its solid 25 votes
for CampbelL which nominated him, giviug
him 355 otes and the nomination, having
four to spare before more than half of the
counties hid been called.
The votes as announced, amidst the wild
est excitement, stood: Campbell, 609; Neal,
lit; Kline, 60; Johnson, L Men climbed on
top of their seats and threw up their hats
and yelled themselves hoarse, while the
band in tho hall struck up "The Campbells
Are Coming." After the excitement had
subsided, Dodge, of Cleveland, the man who
nominated Kline, moved to make the nomin
ation unanimous, at which there were cheers
and applause, greeted with loud cries of "No
No," lrom Cincinnati, and hisses and hoot-
The cxoltement finally subsided, and on
motion ol Hon. James E. Neal, a committee
was appointed to notify tho Governor of his
nomination and bring him into the conven
tion. The committee consisted of Neal Gil
uoro aud Johnson. '
A NATIONAL BATTLE
IS WHAT GOV. CAMPBELL SATS THE
OHIO ELECTION WILL BE.
The Governor Accepts With a Review of
His Administration and an Attack on
- the Tariff Reply to McKinley's State
ments An Appeal to the Farmers.
Congressman Tom Johnson introduced
Governor Campbell, who mot with an oration
when ho came on the stage. The Governor
spoke ns follows:
"While gratefully accepting tho second
nomination from tho Democratic party of'
Ohio, ray thoughts naturally revert to tho
record and achievements of that party since
tho mcmorablo Dayton convention. Victor
ious in the ensuing election, the Ohio
Democracy has legislated for the State and
administered its affairs for 18 months.- In
that short period it has destioycd every
vestige of tho dangerous centralization
which had made the office of Governor a
menace to the liberties of the people. It has
restored to 17 cities the control. of their
elections. It has provided new and better
forms of government for several of the
larger cities. It has devoted time and care-
to the perfection of a law securing secrecy
of the ballot.
"This essential reform was frustrated at
the first session of the General Assembly by
tne unanimous vote or the Senators Deiong
ing to a political party which recently
gathered in convention at Columbus, and
prated, with hollow mockery, of a free
ballot and a fair count. The Democratio
party has done more to advance the cause
of higher education by its legislation for the
Ohio State University, and appropriations
for the other universities than had been ac
complished in all the long history of tho
State, and it has also been mindful of gen
eral education by enacting a salutory law
for the cheapening of school books to tho
children of the poor. It had the courage to
attack the odious fee system, and has sub
stituted a system oi just ana reusonaiua
salaries.
Agricultural Interests Looked After.
"It has especially looked after the welfare'
of agriculture, which has been continuously
imposed upon by Republican Congresses.
Sixty thousand dollars were appropriated in
one item to provide farmers with the results
of agricultural experiments; and in their in
terest laws were passed with respect to oleo
margarine and other products. The great
laboring class, which hopelesssly appealed
to the Republican party, has not been for
gotten either, as the institution of "Labor
Day," important laws for the protection of
railroad employes, and the establishment of
free employment agencies will show. The
Democratic party has done what lay in its
power to rectify our inequitable tax laws
through an amendment to the constitution.
It has decreased taxation more than $500,000
per year by the repeal of the sinking fund
levy.
"It has been charged that our appropria
tions have exceeded those of our predeces
sors. Let us inquire into the new appropria
tions our enemies would curtail. I have al
ready named tho expenditures in behalf of
agriculture, and education: The largest new
item of our appropriation was the sum of
$209,000 for the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans'
Home. Do they deny the propriety of thist
We have, built some new and roomy cottages
at the Soldiers and Sailors' Home. Do our
Republican brethren begrudge this addi
tional comfortt We have made large appro
priations for completing the new reforma
tory. Does the Republican party criticise
the expenditure of money for the preven
tion of crime? We have provided for an
epileptic asylum and for other benevolent
and penal Institutions. We aro proud of
them all.
The Battle Will Be National.
"The electors of Ohio have other reasons
for voting with ns this year besides such as
solely affoct this State. The battle before us
is essentially a National one. Not only is
this true because the result must seriously
affect next year's Federal elections, but also
because the Republicans of Ohio have un
reservedly identified themselves with every
phase of the Iniquitous legislation accom
plished, or attempted, by the Fifty-first con
gress. In their platform they have re
affirmed their adherence to the infamous
force bill the Republican lost cause a
measure, so obviously designed to destroy
free elections that Republican Senators, un
willing to violate their consciences andthoir
oaths, refused to inflict it upon the country.
"The Republican party of Ohio appears
ns the defender of that arbitrary disre
gard of minority rights which dis
graced the last House of Representa
tives. It upholds the fraudulent un-
OA4i-l-i rf In ir i 1 1 nlnnrA9 -.' v-rt T A.a f i a
steal of Montana by the Senate, and all the
other high-handed outrages by whioh that
party has sought to perpetuate its power
against the wishes of the people. It repre
sents the reokless extravagance and as
tounding profligacy which have dissipated
the splendid Democratic surplus, forced the
extension of national bonds, and compelled
an Ohio Secretary of the Treasury to resort
to tricks of bookkeening and subterfuges
unworthy of his office, in order to conceal a
aencit ana deceive the people.
The Tariff Bill Attacked.
"Pre-eminently also does the Republican
leader in Ohio stand for that pernicious
tariff measure which was rejectedjit the
polls last year by the people of the entire
country; a measure identified with his name,
saturated with his ideas, and wrought by
his hands; a measure designed, as has been
well said, in the interest of monopoly, by
monopoly, for monopoly; a measure whioh
is bringing about the worst of all centraliza
tions the centralization of wealth, with its
debasing and destructive results; a measure
which has already in many cases made less
work and lower wages for productive labor;
a measure which has forced the farmer of
Ohio to sell his wool in some instances as
low as SO cents a pound.
"A measure it is, too, which, as it came
from the hands of its author, did not, in the
opinion of an eminent Republican, 'open a
marketforanotherpoundof pork or another
barrel of flour;' a measure which could not
be forced down the throats of a reluctant
Senate until sugar-coated with the old Dem
ocratio doctrine of reciprocity a dootrlne
finally, though feebly, embodied in the bill
in spite of opposition from tho great Ohio
protectionist.
Dissecting SIcKinley's Speech.
"In his recent speech of acceptance-tills
6ame champion of higher protection said:
"We follow the tariff teachings of Washing
ton and Hamilton, of Clay and Webster, of
Lincoln and Garfield.' Let ns see how wide
of the mark this statement is. The tariff of
to-day is at the rate of B7 per cent; the
tariff of Washington was 7 per cent; the
protection sought by Clay was for the benefit
of 'infant' industries; the tariff to-day In
creases protection upon industries wnloh
have been coddled tor more than 90 years;
the protection of Garfleld was, to quote his
own woids, 'That kind of protection which
leads to ultimate free trade.'
"Let the Republicans of Ohio who have
not gono mad on protection oomo over this
year and start with us upon the backward
march toward the tariff of Washington: or,
better yet, enroll themselves under a ban
ner Inscribed with those burning words of
Garfield. Let the well-meaning men who
train under the names of the Farmers' Alli
ance or of the People's party, and who seek
to remedy real grievances, brought about by
Republican Legislation, re. mem Dor that no
third paity can succeed; 6ut that with us,
and as a part of us, they can help to swell
the joyous hosanna that will peat to heaven
from tho tax-burdened people of the entire
country when the glad tidings go forth next
November that we are yet in possession of
the old Republican citadel now the Dem
ocratic Buckeye State."
The Governor's speech was delivered in a
calm and modest tone and was well re
ceived. THE FINAL TOUCHES.

And tne Projected Union of Democrats and

CLEVELAND IS THE CHOICE OF KANSAS
rSFECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l
Topeka, KAw., July 15. The Democratio
'leaders in Kansas are beginning to realizo
that in giving support and sympathy to tho
People' party last fall they were nourishing
a viper which would rise np and sting them
to the death. Having been in a hopeless
minority for a quarter of a century, this new
movement whioh foreshadowed trouble to
the Republican party was hailed with
joy by the Democratic managers, and
while they put a ticket in the field
for the various, 6tato offices, they knew it
would not poll the full party strength, and
in their desire to beat the Republicans al
lowed their own campaign to go by default.
When the votes were counted last No
ivember the Democratio ticket was hopeless
ly in the minority, receiving 57,000 votes, as
against 107,000 two years prior.
. The rank and file of the Democratic party
of Kansas were opposed to any combination
with
The New People's Party,
which was mado up largely of union labor
advocates, Greenbackers, Socialists, and
political hacks generally. But a dozen lead
ers corralled things, organized the com
mittee, and then sold out the party by
throwing everything possible to the peo
ple's movement.
These leaders felt that if thoy could retain
the machinery of the party in their hands
they would be able to dictate and control
the Federal appointments in Kansas, should
the Democrats win in 1892.
For several months the motive whjch
moved the Democratio State Central Com
mittee and other leading Democrats to vir
tually abandon party organization, and
scheme with the People's party to bring
about a combination on a Presidental elec
toral tlckot next year, was a profound mys-
the whole matter lias been cleared up, and
Senator Gorman, of Maryland, appears as
the advisor behind the throne.
Gorman's Sly Scheme.
In conversation to-day with one of the
'most prominent Democrats in Kansas, and a
gentleman who has held high official posi
tion, your correspondent was informed that
a policy had been outlined by Gorman for
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, and the
twoDakotas, whereby tho Democrats and
People's party leaders were to unite on
electoral tickets next year, giving
each party an equal number of electors,
with tho understanding that Gorman was to
bo a candidate for President, and in the end
the beneficiary 'of the deal if nominated,
Such a combine, it was stated, would sweep
the Republicans out of power in all these
States and virtually place them in the Dem
ocratic column. The gentleman who gave
this information declined to have his name
used, but declared that similar negotiations
were pending between Gorman and the Dem
ocratic committees of the other States
named.
When tho quostion of abanuoning party
organization was suggested to Senator Gor
man at a conference held by that gentleman
with a number of leading Western Demo
crats in Washington recently, ho is reported
as saying that "the organization would bo
kept intact.
A Half-and-Half Deal.
In theso States the party would run a
ticket, but when it came to nominating
electoral tickets the Democrats would name
half and the People's party the other half,
and then both parties; would supportjiue
combined whole.' When the question of"
patronage was mentioned, the Sena-;
tor luformed those present that
the various State oommltteea would
control that matter. In this way tho
half dozen leading Democrats of the various
States named would deal out the offlcos
among themselves and to their special
friends, whilo the rank and file would be ex
pected to "say nothing and saw wood.".
There Is no question but that this pro
gramme has been mapped out. About one
month since the State Democratic Commit
tee met secretly In Kansas City and formu
lated a circular which has been sent to overy
County Committee, urging the Democrats to
fuse with tho People's party in county elec
tions this fall, and thus lay the foundation
for the final overthrow of the Republican
party in Kansas in ISOi At the meeting in
Kansas City were two high priests of the
People's party who sanctioned the action
taken.
The gathering of the dozen, or mora Demo
cratio leaders at Kansas City was kept so
queit that very few knew anything about it
until two weeks ago when the circulars to
the County Democratio Committees were
scattered throughout the Stato.
Kickers Spoil It All.
Prominent Democrats who are opposed to
any combination Vlth this movement, and
who have been constantly ignored by the
State Committee, instituted an investigation
and at once aroused the rank and file, ac
quainting them of the effort of a few in
authority to sell out the party in considera
tion for Federal offices. The newspapers of
ijio oub uummoiiueu u war on nie leaaera.
and the result was a meeting of many prom
inent leaders and editors at Topeka yester
day. Tho discussion was behind closed doors,
but it was vigorous and of the orthodox
Democratio pattern. The effort of Senator
Gorman and a dozen Democrats of Kansas to
shape the policy of the party and virtually
abandon tho organization for spoils to be dis
tributed to a favored few was roundly de
nounced, and strong resolutions declaring
for a straight Democratio ticket and against
any combine with the People's party were
adopted. The plan of the leaders to force
Gorman upon the Demoorats of Kansas was
severely rebuked, and a canvass among
those present showed that he did not have a
follow er.
Cleveland Kansas' Choice.
Cleveland was the nnanimous choice for
President with a single exception. That ex
ception was Colonel W. P. Tomlinson, editor
of the Kansas Democrat, who is a prominent
Hill advocate. On the heels of this meeting
the following significant editorial appeared
in the Kansas Democrat. That paper asserts
that never was the Democratic party in so
great dangerof absolute dissolution as at tho
present time,and calls attention to the follow
ing facts: South Carolina, that Gibraltar of
Southern chivalry, is as strongly Alliance as
Kansas, if not more so, having elected Till
man. Alliance, Governor. In Georgia Gor
don had to swallow the Alliance platform in
toto. In Florida Senator Call got there only
by the skin of his teeth, and that, too, by
coming out emphatically in favor of
the Alliance. In Mississippi Sena
tor Geor&re has written a sftvenolnmn
letter, accepting the dootrines of the Alli
ance as set forth in the Ocala platform. In
Tennessee Governor Buohanan. Alliance, sits
in the gubernatorial chair to-day. In Texas

rSPECIAL TEI.EOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Farkeksbut.g, July 15. A sensation was
raised in tho United States Court to-day
when it was discovered that an old plat ro
oorded In a record book of 1818 of Wood
county, which had been brought into court
to prove certain lines tta the celebrated oil
land suit of Gilbert L. Watson versus Joseph
S. Brown, the Brown Oil Company and oth
ers, for the possession of n valuable tract of
land lying on French creek, near its month,
now pending, had boen recently tampered
with in such a manner that had tho fraud
not been discovered the land and property
claimed by plaintiff would have been en.
tiroly lost.
The discovery was mado when one of the
attorneys for the plaintiff, Judge McCluer,
happened to hold tho plat up to the light,
when the fraudulent lines were plainly
shown as having been made within the
past 21 hours, Tho Tecord book had been
brought into court by subpoena ducestecum
directed to the Clerk of the Circuit Court of
this county, in the vaults of which office it
had lain many years.
When brought before tho Court the line
claimed to have been fraudently inserted
was not there. After the discovery, tho
Clerk of the United States Court, Colonel
Delllcker, and Assistant Newberger wore
brought before the Court. They both
claimed that tho plat had been under lock
and key and not out of their possession at
any time except a few minutes at the noon
hour yesterday, at which time it is believed
the work was done.
Judge Jaokson then asked plaintiff's attor
neys, ex-Governor J. B. Jackson, MoCluer
and Aubler, if he wanted an order issued,
and said thoy would immediately do so if
desired. Plaintiffs, however, asked only
that the plat he allowed to go in on condi
tion that it was accepted as before the al
teration, whioh was done. The Judge is
very angry over the affair, as it is the first
time such an outrage ever occurred in his
court. The affair will be presented to the
grandjuryat its next sitting. Thecasein
volves property valued at about $50,000,
there being three producing wells on it and
17,000 barrels ot oil tied up. As the crime IS
a felony and punishable by imprisonment In
tho penitentiary, it is believed a full exposi
tion will yet be made.

St Louis, July 15. By a vote of 44 to 30, the

Resolved, That the National Distriot As
sembly No. 143, K. of L., withdraw its con
nectlon with the Knights of Labor.
The delegates camo all more or less in

Chicago, July 15. Nina Van Zandt, the1
young Chicago woman, who stormed at
Chicago authorities because they would not
let her marry August Spies, the condemned
Anarchist, and who married him by proxy,
is now reported to have said that she was
coerced into the marriage by Spios'
lawyers. Nina is going to marry Stofano
Salvador Malato, an ex-Journalist from
Italy, who is now a grocery clerk. Vice
President Byron, of the World's Fair, says.
Nina called on him the other day with her
betrothed, and wanted Byron to secure an
appointment as European Commissioner for
Malato. She pleaded eloquently, and argued
mat juaiuto wouiu oe aDie to uo wonuertm
things for the Fair in his native country.
Malato, who doesn't understand English,
looked on in an interested way.
Becoming excited for fear her request
would bo refused, Nina told Mr. Byron that
she had been an unwilling martyr to the
cause of Anarchy, and only went through
those romantic little love scenes with Spies
to elicit svmDathv for him. She had been
brought to do this at the repeated prayers

Bardsloy, late City Treasurer, have mado a
detailed report to the' Mayor, in which they
say they have endeavored to discover tho
total amount of money received each year
at the State desk in his office, the sharo
thereof belonging to the Stato and to tho
city, nnd the amount of expenses and other
items deducted therefrom, so that the net
deficiency in the accounts of the late
Treasurer may be definitely ascertained. A
recapitulation shows:
Net amount dne to the State $1,585,603 95
Net amount due to city 1,008,943 00
Total balanco due to State and the city
to be accounted for .- $2,534,551 05

fund account..... 186,043 10
Total net deficiency in Mr. Bardsley's
accounts ....$ 553,835 38
That Is Not the Whole Story.
The report continues, "In addition to the
deficiency of $553,835 38, tho interest which
Mr. Bardsley received from various banks,
firms and individuals, together with divi
dends on stock and securities, in which he
invested with public money (a complete list
oi wnicnwiiioe Shortly suDmitteu toyouj,
amounting to at least $225,000, should be
added making a grand total of money mis
appropriated of $778,835 33.
"As to the above credit of $925,000, repre
sented by Keystone Bank due bills, we find
more or les3 evidence of payments mado
from time to time by Mr. Bardsley to tho
President of the bank, which may make this
amount. Tho due bills are irregularly num
bered and dated, and this, in connec
tion with the faot that wo have
found four blank due bills in
a sheet uncut under a blotter on Mr. Bards
ley's desk, creates a fair suspicion of their
genuineness. It will be impossible to prove
whether these due bills are genuine, and
whether the money was actually paid into
the bank, and, if genuine, what disposition
was made thereof by the bank officers, and
especially whether any of it was paid back
to Mr. Bardsley until we have freo access to
tho accounts of the bank.
Not Deposits Made in Good Faith.
"Assuming these due bills to be honest evi
dence of actual payments made to the bank
whioh have not been returned, it must
not be forgotten that they do not represent
deposits made in good faith by Bardsley as a
public officer in tho usual course of business.
Public money to which he had no title
was taken by him and handed over to the
Keystone Bank or its President, for no legiti
mate reason or purpose, but apparently for
his personal advantage, and to obtain a
higher rate of interest thero than ho re
ceived at the other depositories.
"Mr.Bardsley's private memorandum book
shows that he was paid by the Keystone
Bank $1,000 each month, commencing in
January, 1SS9, and continuing regularly
to September, 1890, making a total
of $21,000. This sum was regularly
paid, in addition to Interest which
ho received on State money loaned or do
posited, and appears to represent 3 per cent
on tne limit oi ?4uu,uuu oi tno city oeposic
One entry shows the receipt of $500 for the
use of $100,000 from DecemDerl3 to December
31, 18S9, at $25 a day, equivalent to an inter
est rate of 9 per cent.
The total amount'- of interest paid to Mr.
Bardsley for tho years 1889 and 1890 by this
bank alonewas $76,827 30.
A Personal Use of Pablic Money.
"Thus it appears that these due bills repre
sent loans personally made to the bank,
rather than deposits therein, and which acts
of loaning were wrongful conversions to his
own use and violations of the laws of this
Commonwealth.
"All other amounts claimed as credits by
Mr Bardsley, such as Baltimore Traction
Company stock, alleged to have been deliv
ered to Mr. Marsh, of the Keystone Bank, or
stock which had been uncovered by the au
thorities of tho city at the Farmers and Me
chanics' National Bank, or value remain
ing either in the hands of his assignees
or in the Bradford mills, or
amounts to be paid to city and
State by his sureties, must be viewed solely
in the light of restitution. To give him
credit for such alleged values would be to
credit him with the very evidence of his
crime and to aid him in his hopeless struggle
to avoid a darker stain of wrong-doing than
any to which he has pleaded guilty.
"An examination of the above statement
shows that Mr. Bardsley received'at the
state uesK in itstft tno gross sum or $l,GG5,.
001 80, part of which belonged to the State
and part to the city. Of this $1,424,928 41 was
collected before July L and on the share of
State ($1,062,51110), he made various pay
ments, amounting $450,000, commencing Sep
tember 24 and ending November 27, 1889,
thus holding over to 1890 a balance due to
the Stato of $612,6U 10.
Some Entries In Bardsley's Books.
"In 1890 the gross sum collected was $2,
060,035 27. Of this gross sum, $1,709,813 97 was
collected before July I of that year. Of this
gross sum, $1,499,603 26 was the property of
the State, npon which he made various pay
ments amounting to $766,206 38, thus holding
at the end of 1890, almost the entire amount
collected for the State during that vear.

made on the stub of tho check: 'May 12,
