Delaware, O., Aug. 2.1. The Republi
cans of Ohio will not waste their strength
on the empty air this fall. The policy will
le not to try to convert Democrats, as in
davs gone by, but to keep up Ihe enthusi
asm in their own ranks. The main meet
ings have been arranged for in the Republi
can strongholds all over the State. It makes
little difference to the party managers
whether they elect MoKinley with a small
or great majority. His success will be glory
enough for them.
"Ohio," said "W. T. Cope, the candidate
for State Treasurer, this morning, "is Ite
puhlican with a majority ranging from 15,
000 to 20,000 votes. All that we have to do
is to poll our full strength and victory will
be ours. This can only be done by hammer
ing away until election day. The opposi
tion has not commenced activities and I
suppose they are looking for us to make
slips, out of which they can manufacture
capital. I am best posted on the policies of
Northern Ohio, and feel sure we will get a
big vote in that section. Prom all that I
can see and hear I don't think there is much
doubt about the State at large not going our
way."
TROrD Or IITE STATE.
The Buckeye people are proud of their
Commonwealth. When Major McKinley
at Delaware to-day, beaming with con
scious pride, declared it was the greatest in
the Union, his hearers received the state
ment with uproarious applause. "We have
jio bosses over here as you have in Pennsyl
atiia," said one enthusiastic citizen to The
Dispatch man. "This State is close
enough at all times to put both parties on
their mettle. Tne will of the people must
be obeyed, and woe betide the man who
runs counter to it. He will soon find him
self in a tureen deep enough to bury him."
After the meeting at Mt. Gilead on Mon
day Major McKinley was tired out. He
went down to Columbus to get a good
night's sleep and to confer with members of
the Executive Committee about campaign
affairs. The Bepubl'can editors of Ohio
met in Columbus during the day, and many
of them had remained over. W. S. Cap
pellcr. that dyed-In-tuc wool hustler from
Mansfiel d, led a delegation up to the 3raJor's
loom. The situation in tho Mute was freely
discussed, and they all admitted that the
prospects w ere orcoiiragltig and hopeful.
OrP FOR DhLAWAEE.
Bright and early this morning the Major
mid the new spaper gang proceeded to Dela
ware, which was the town on tho pro
gramme to be visited. It is one of the pret
tiest villages in the State; an ideal, restful
sort of a place, with iowb of trees lining the
streets. The placid citizens live in beautiful
homes, and little happens during the year
to disturb their uneventful residence. Del
aware College is at one end of the town, the
Court House about the centei, but beyond
these tw o attractions the people have noth
ing else to show tho stranger.
To-day, however, the Republicans of the
town and county got themselves together
for a grand rallv. When they are stirred up
these people are very enthusiastic, and the
way they howled for McKinley cheered the
Jieartofthe tantrchamp.on. His reception
was by all odds the noisiest he has had in
his tour of tho htafo. The county convention
was held, and this was the occasion that
brought the Republican leaders to tho
town.
GREETING FOR M'KIVLEY.
When the Big Four train drew into Dela
ware, over a thousand people were assem
bled at the depot to greet Major McKinley
and Ills associate on the ticket, Hon. W. T.
Cope. A great cheer went up as the fa
miliar faces of the two candidates appeared,
and a reception committee, consisting of
Mayor Culver, Hon. J. I) Vandemau and
Hon. Jarae" I.vtlc, stepped forward and es
corted them to the carriages.
Sonio 500 men wearing McKinley badges
were drawn up in line at the depot and they
gave three lustv cheers and stepped off to
the Hotel Donav In, headed by a baud. The
town was profu-cly decorated, the streets
were filled and thcie was continuous cheer
ing along the route to the hotel.
A call w as made for a speech, which was
responded to by Major McKinley, who spoke
from the balcony of the hotel. He said thnt
the Republican party of Ohio w ere never
more interested, more enthusiastic, more
earnest and more resoluto for victory.
"What we want in this country,' said the
Major, "are good markets, good money, good
wages and steady employment, and the
policy of the Republican party gives us all
of them.
VISITING THE TEACHERS.
Tho convention adjourned, out of respect
to the Major, and the delegates flocked to the
hoti-1 and depot to sec him. After the re
ception was over he was invited to visit
tho Countv Teachers' Institute, w hich was
being held in the town. The Major consented
and made a short speech to tho pedagogues.
His remarks were well received and they ap
plauded him vigot ousl v. He said their w ork
was great ana i csponsible. The teacher is a
force that molds the minds of the young and
ultimately makes public thought and legis
lation. Delaware is a closo county, with tho
chances nlways in favor of the Republicans.
Tho People's party havo some followers in
thih section. Tho Democrats are talking of
Indorsing Judge Sprague for the Legislature
at their meeting next Saturday. Sprague is
tho nomineo of third party, and tho rank
and file of tho Democrats don't like the
move to cater to the new clement In poli
tics. The Democratic county chairman threat
V
t .
ens that if such action is taken, he will voto
the Republican ticket. A number of other
'Democrats claim they will do tho same
thing. The People's party is opposed to
both Democrats and Republicans, but they
ever stand ready to make a. deal wiih either
sido in the interest of themselves.
TRUE TO THEIR TRAINING.
Tho old Greenback leaders have not for
gotten their training, end making n dicker
is their hobby when they can't do anything
else. Nowhere have I discovered so far that
these people control enough votes to elect a
Representative, b at they can give the lcad
crs'of both parties a good scaro when they
feel like it.
Ohio will not be a second Kansas, unless
election day. The third party managers in
variably say that tho voto will be taken
equally from the Democrats and the Repub
licans. If this is carried out, they will havo
littlo effect on the result, and McKinley will
be elected.
The meeting at Delaware tnis afternoon
was held In the opera house. It will hold
1,300 people, but a great manv moro than
thutwcie packed in the auditorium. At
torney Vabdeman introduced McKinley as
"The most hated man in Enpropc, and tho
most beloved and popular at home." He
spoke of his fidelity to Sherman at tho
Chicago com ention
It is evident that tho Buckeye Senator has
many friends in this neighborhood, for w hen
his name was mentioned It was received
with hearty applause. For that matter tho
pcoplo who think that John Sherman has
not many friends in Ohio and can be easily
beaten, are very much mistaken. The Ohio
statesman bas a strong grip on the affections
of the substantial and sensible voters.
DOWN TO STATE POLITICS.
Major McKinley made his first allusion to
day to State politics. He gave several
reasons w hy the next Legislature should be
Republican. If tho Ohio Senatorship is lost
to tho party, It Is liable to make that body
Democratic for an Indefinite period. Ho
elaimod the last Legislature was the most
extravagant in the history of the State, nnd
the gerrymander which deprived a mnjority
of the people of proper National represen
tation should be corrected.,
"Lot us undo that great crime," he con
cluded, "against the rights of the Buckeye
citizens," The Major condemed tho calamity
sbriekers in unmeasured terms. As one ox
ample of the prosperity of the working peo
ple he quoted from ayearly statementot the
Cleveland Savings Society. Thev have $22,
000,000 on deposit Delongihg to 42,000 deposit
ors, and the average held by each is from
$500 to $GD0.
The effect of tariff legislation on American
industries was once more fully discussed.
He showed that never before did the Ameri
can peoplo consume so many goods of their
own manufacture, and that never could a
pound of wool or bushel of wheat buy as
mnny necessities as now. The Malor will ad
dress a farmers' meeting at South Salem to
morrow. PLANNING A CAMPAIGN.

rSr-ECIAI. TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. 1
Columbus, Aug. 23. The Democratic
Executive Committee meets here to-morrow
to confer with the candidates and map
out a line of policy tor the campaign.
Chairman 2cal and Al Carlisle arc already
on the ground. Senator Brice blew into
the city this afternoon to learn something
about the situation. The Senator is not a
member of tho committee, but he will lend
his advices and means to help re-elect the
Governor.
Governor Campbell is a pretty sick man.
He was ieeling pretty good this morning,
but he is worse to-night. The Governor never
fully recovered from an attack of the grip
last winter, unu nis menus are axraui unless
he rallies soon that he will Do taken with a
low fever.
The greatest interest is manifested In the
nominations at Cincinnati. Al Carlisle
thinks that Reemelin. "tho marrcamptJeU
fought so hard last wintor, w ill be elected
County Chairman in Hamilton. Tho Gover
nor's friends are afraid that Reemelin and
the McLean crowd will quietly knife him.
They say if the Cincinnati people make an
opeii fight on the Governor that he will be
elected with a big majority. Their conduct
would then bilng many good people to Mr.
Campbell's rescue. AlCailisle, however, be
lieves that Reemelin can't afford to slash
the ticket, and it will be to his interest to
carrj Hamilton countv. Such a result would
be regardedas his vindication.
Chairman Neal said to-night: "I think; that
everything is going our way at present. Wo
may carry the State with a majoritvor 25,
000, or we may get loft; that is only ti guess.
We expect to open the campaign between
the 12th nnd 15th of Septembei, when' tho

SPECIAL TtLEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Bfdfobu, Aug. 25. When questioned as to
the piobable outcome of tho approaching
contest, William F. Hnrrity, the Secretary
of State, said: "The Democrats will enter
the piesent campaign in an even more hope
ful frame of mind than they aid last fall
when Governor Pattison was elected. Tho
conditions this yeararo more favorable than
they were then, and I am very hopeful that
by careful nnd prudent management the
choice of the Democratic Convention for
tho offices of Auditor General and State
Tieasurcr will bo the choice of the people.
"Will Presidental questions or candidates
be considered by the coming State Coven
tiont" "I should think not. If such a thought
ever entered tho heads of any of our people,
it must have quickly boen driven out bv the
lesson that was taught last week by the Re
publican State Convention. In my judgment
thi campaign ought to be limited to state
issues. It will prove a mistake if the con
's ention, in naming a ticket, shall not have
dup repaid for the agricultural interests of
the State. The farmers, ns heavy taxpaveis,
are largely interested in the collection and
disbursement of public lunds, and thov
should be recognized, paiticularly in view
of tne slights that have been put upon them
by the Republican Legislature and tho Re
publican convention. As to tho action of
the convention upon tho subject of the Con
stitutional Convention, nothing can bo
sately predicted."

CnAMBEBSBuaa, Aug. 23. The Democratio
County Convention met hero this morning.
Tho convention moved along smoothly until
tho report of the Committee on Resolutions
was presented. It had been known for sev
eral days that D. A. Orr, of the Hnrrisburg
Patriot, would make an attempt to pass n
xesolution slapping Governor Pattison, or at
least to give him a lukewarm indorsement.
Tho resolutions were presented by C. W.
Cremer, of the Valley Sjnrtf. Tho resolutions
Indorsed Cleveland lor President in 1S92, and
were Democratic all tho wav through.
Then camo the reading of the last resolu
tion, which indorsed Governor Pattison in a
half-hearted way. This brought AVilllam
Kennedy, of Chambersburg, to his feet. In
lieu of tho weak Pattison Indorsement ho
offered the following:
"Resolved, That tho wiso, resolute and
statesmanlike administration of Governor
Pattison commends itself to tho people of
Pennsylvania, and has attracted tho atten
tion of the friends of pure and honest gov
ernment throughout tho nation. His disap
proval of the measures of needless extrava
gance in the general appropriation bill; his
timely vetoes of unfair and partisan appro
priation bills, nnd other unwise and injur
ious legislation; the measures instituted to
recover for the State the moneys stolen by
dishonest Republican officials, furnish
abundant cause for congratulation that the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is onco
moro reaping the advantages of an honest
and faithful Democratic administration."
John G. Orr moved to lay the resolution on
the table, but his motion was lost by a voto
of 57 to 52. The Kennedy resolution indors
ing Governor Pattison was then passed by a
vote of 51 to 46.

Political
Rivalry Between Two Cities
Causes the Trouble.
EACn IS THE STRONGIIOLD OP A PARTY
Managua, Nicaragua, Aug. 25. The
news telegraphed from Granada to the
United States that there had been riots
there Sunday, that the Chief of Police and
six men had been killed, and -that three im
portant personages were to be expelled from
Nicaragua with the warning that they would
be shot if they returned, is correct. , Fuller
details are now accessible.
Granada on Sunday was the scene of a
coup do main, by which President Eoberto
Sacasa tried to rid himself of his most
prominent opponents, and at the same time
nip in tho bud a possibly growing revolu
tion. The gentlemen arrested include two
ex-Presidents of Nicaragua and the editor
and owner of the most important daily
newspaper in the country. Granada is
practically in a state of seige, and the troops
here at the capital are confined to the bar
racks. In addition, the opposition to Presi
dent Sacasa is growing daily, and affairs are
assuming a critical position.
RIVALRY BETWEEN TWO TOWNS.
!For many years vigorous rivalry has ex
isted between the ancient city of Leon and
the more modern Granada, and between the
Progressists, whose headquarters are at
Granada, and the Inglesistas, or Roman
Catholic church party, whose strongholds
are Leon and Managua. Granada, for many
terms past, has furnished the country with
the President, but at the last election, by un
due, means, the Progressists claim, Sacasa, a
Leon man, was chosen President. Sacasa had
previously been a Senator, and on the some
what mj sterious death of President Carazo,
two years ago last October, Senator Sacasa
was duly chosen to fill out the unfinished
term".
This was not approved of by the Progressist
party, and President Sacasa became more
and more unpopular as it became known
that he, backed up by the Leon, or Church
party, had determined to leave no stono un
turned to bring about his election to tho
Presidency after ho had filled out Carazo's
unexpired term. In spite of the opposition
partv and the increasing unpopularity of his
administration, Sacasa succeeded in his am
bitious plans, and In November last was
elected President.
Naturally this only served still further to
embitter the feeling between the parties. It
was whispered that an attempt wonld be
made by force of arms to oust Sacasa fiom
the Presidency, and ho is apparently deter
mined to do his utmost to prevent the Pro
gressists from bringing about his downfall.
TWO EX-rRESIDENTS SPOTTED.
The spies employed by tho administration
seen to have pointed out ex-President Gen
eral Chamorro, ex-President General Joa
quin Zavala; Don Anselmo Bivns, editor
and proprietor of the Diario Nicar&guense, of
Granada, the organ of tho Progressist party
and the leading newspaper of Nicaragua;
Don Enrique Guzman, a son ot General Guz
man, and Don J. D. Rodriguez, fonnelv at
tache to tho Nicaraguan legation at Wash
ington, as the most dangerous leaders of tho
Progressist party in Granada. Conse
quently, after taking every precaution to
meet a revolutionary outbreak, President
Sacasa determined suddenly to arrest these
entlemen and exile them, under pain of
oing instantly shot should they return.
This plan was executed Snnday. Tho men
above named were most unexpectedly ar
rested on the charge of eonsplriDjj ajraikst
the Government and -were taken to tho
Quartol. Their arrest caused gi eat excite
ment in Granada, and a vigorous attempt to
rescue them was mado. The Quartel was at
tacked and the soldiers were fired upon nnd
a number on each side were killed and
wounded. The exact number of casualties
is not known,butltis reported that the Chief
of Police and at least six soldiers wore
killed and that some 50 citizens were shot.
HUSTLED OUT OP THE COUNTRY.
General Chamorro and the othor prisoners
were subsequently brought to Managua
under a strong guard, and Granada was
placed in a state of siege pending the sub
sidence of popular feeling. The important
prioners yesterday were sentenced to bo
escorted across the frontier and ordered
never to return under penalty of death. The
prisoners will bo secretly taken to the
lrontier, but to what point, and whethr on
the Honduras or Costa Rica line, is not gen
erally known. Possibly the prisoners will
be allowed to embark on some vessel at
Connto.
General Zavala will be remembered by
Americans as the cause of the abandonment
of the banquet which was to have been ten
dered to ex-Senator Warner Miller while the
latter was in this country recently. To such
an extent does tho General carry partisan
feeling that, when he was Informed that
members of the Church party had been in
vited to the proposed entertainment he an
nounced that he would not sit at thesamo
table with them. This led to a heated dis
cussion and the abandonment of the ban
quet. Tho present political troubles do not affect
the progress of the work on tho mantimo
canal, though Don Rodriguez, one of tho
gentlemen expelled, is known to have been
a bitter enemy of the Ameiican entei prise.

rived the evening of' August 5. Dr. J. P..
Tcrres, Consul and Acting United States
Minister, says that since the present Gov

been less cause for alarm that an outbreak
could in any measure piove successful than
at piesent. There is absolutely no founda
tion for tho icpoit that General Himiolvto
or his Government has acted in the out
rageous manner represented in United
States newspapers during July.
"I honestly beliove," he continued, "that
President Hypolyte is sincere in his desire to
do light, but ho will not tolerate the
slightest attempt to weaken his authority.
Of course he is nonngel.nnd it will probably
never be know n how tar he was Justified in

had been assassinated, tho city would havo
been in flames In less than half an hour.
Piobably thousands would havo lost their
lives; looting would have been rampant,
nnd heaven only knows where it would linve

Hypolyte toward his enemies, and they are
lying very low in consequence."

jumped up nnd grew hysterical when he saw
the policeman.

policeman's approach, had returned and
was standing. Filman arrested tho man
designated, and then Andrew Wagner told
his story. He said he was from Pittsburg

a number of changes in the ritual. There

TIIE EXPLANATION OP A PHTSICIAN
SPECIAL TELFGRAM TO TOE DISPATCH.
Syracuse, Aug. 2j. James H. O'Grady,
aged 30 years, who died in this city to
night, acquired wide fame in medical cir
cles as the man with a snake in his stomach.
O'Grady was a canal boat captain until
three years ago, when, depressed and
debilitated by his hallucination, he left that
occupation to do laboring work at such
times as he felt able.
He imagined he could feel the snake
moving around inside of him, and thought
at times that it attempted to crawl out of
bis throat, but was prevented from doing so
on account of its size. He and his friends
estimated that it must be at least ten feet
long.
suffered ten tears.
He believed that he swallowed the reptile
while drinking water from a pool about ten
years ago, and that ever since then it has
slowly grown, until it was at last large
enough to manifest its presence. The local
papers noticed the strange case last falL
The Btory- travel ed'over the country and the
result was that O'Grady began to receive
letters recommending remedies for removal
of the snake until about 100 had been re
ceived. Some of the letters were evidently
written by practical Jokers, while others
were apparently sincere.
One recommended O'Grady to run a pair
of tongs 'down his throat, fasten to the snake,
pull It out antl put'salt on its tail. Another
man who said he had been troubled the
same way advised O'Grady to first starve
the snake, then he was to put a pan of warm
milk in front of his mouth and catch the
reptile as it came out to eat. The widow
says to-day she would permit no postmor
tem examination to be made. She was sure
that a snake had bored through her hus
band's stomach and into theltings, causing
consumption and that was all she cared to
know about It.
one who saw the snake.
A friend of O'Grady who was in the house
said ho had seen the snake make Its way up
the man's throat and try to get out. O'Grady
would not go to bed, but sat In a ohnir and
in this he died. A number of local physi
cians visited the man out of curiosity. The
ono who was last to attend him said that
there was no qnestion but the man died of
consumption.
"He was troubled with intestinal gas,"
said the physician, "and thi3 moving around
inside of him caused him to imagine he had
a snake in his stomach. It would be impos
sible fora snake to live inside of a person,
but a great many ignorant persons believe
they have some sort of a reptilo Inside of

BIG THEFTS OF INDIAN TIMBEB,
The Government to Punish the Culprits
and Prevent Future Stealings.
Doxcth, Aug. 25. Some time ago there was
a considerable stir over alleged stealing of
American timber along the tributaries of
the Rainy river south of the international
boundary. The Government sent up two
Investigating expeditions along the Big and
Little Fork riveis to Rainy lake and river.
As a result, it has now been decided by the
Interior Department to establish a perman
ent Government post on Rainy river, and two
officers of the department are now there to
select a location. Fully 2,000,000 feet of timber
are said to have been stolen here in the past
three years.
A dispatch from Ashland, Wis., says: Gov
ernment officials are after some ono at the
Fond du Lac agency in Minnesota. Over
10,000,000 feet of pine have been illegally cut
there, and ono of the inspectors is said to
have ordered arrests. The timber was cut
oil the reservation lands, not on those
patented. The matter has been kept very
quiet. Wholesale arrests will probably be
made. It is rumored that the inspector will
also stir up matters on several other reser

fSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCH.
Gainesville, Fla., Aug. 25. A steady
tramp of feet of men, women, children and
horses has been heard this morning going
and coming toward Oak Grove in the north
western qnarter of the town. There on the
same oak tree which in January bore sus
pended from it the body of Tony Champion,
to-day, swaying slightly, is another fignre,
another partner of Harmon Murray. It is
not so disgusting a sight, for this man is
well clothed, but his face is cruel and re
pulsive in the extreme. His hands nre tied
behind his back, and-on las fingera gleam
two rings, while a watch and chain are upon
his person. This is Andy Ford.
A few days ago this man was brought here
from Orange Heights, charged with being
.. an accomplice of Murray's. Yesterday he
had a preliminary trial ana it was proven
that he yran the man who bas assisted Mur
ray in his evil deeds In that neighborhood,
and for three days was his1 constant com
panion. He helped to secure the old negro
who was so cruelly- beaten there nnd held
him, helping to force the daughter to whip
her father. He owned to having voluntarily
Joined the otlaw and it is rumored that he
afterward said he was with Murray when
the house of, McKinne was shot Into and
also when the rope was put about the neck
of the white man, Faxton.
Late last night after the 9.20 train arrived,
Houx, the jailor, was aroused from his sleep
by knocks at his door. Asking who was
there, he was told that a special Deputy
Sheriff had arrived on that train with a pris
oner, who was a confederate of Murray's and
they wanted to put him In Jail. The night
wus dark and rainy and Roux. on going ont
with the keys, saw a man being held by two
others on each side. He admitted them in
side the yard, when a rush was made for
him by a crowd, who covered him with re
volvers and forced him to give up the keys.
No more was known until daylight re
vealed the sequel. Only the old oaks in the
grove and the immediate actors can tell the
story. No threats had been made; no ex
citement prevailed, and the general belief is
that the deed was done by parties out of
Gainesville. 3Iariyofthe negroes are wild
to-day over the lynching, how ever, and it is
feared that trouble may ensue.
TBAIN WBECKEBS FOILED.
The Obstruction Timely Discovered
and
the Perpetrators Captured.
Memphis, Aug. 25 A daring attempt was
made to wreck a train on the Illinois Central
main line yesterday. Had the northbound
accommodation traiiffrom Water Valley to
Grand Junction been going ten miles nn
hour faster there would have been an awful
disaster. As the northbound train came in
sight of a bridge, the engineer noticed that
one rail seemed to be unduly elevated. He
quickly applied the airbrakes and reversed
his engine.
As the englno went on the bridge it was
discovered that a piece of iron had been
securely fastened to the rail and would have
thrown any train from tho track. Luckily
only the front truck of the engine left tho
rails. Sooh after a posse of men went fn
pursuit of the porpatrntors of tho deed.
The engineer noticed two negroes sneak
awny through the bnshes. Aftera chase of
several hours they were caught. They con
fessed, wero taken to Holly Springs and
jailed.

DALZELL'S SARCASTIC REMARKS
Concerning Rooinson's Proposition, Which
lie ila3 Declined.
SENTIMENT STRONG IN MONTGOMERY
As was intimated in The Dispatch yes
terday, by Hon. John Daizell, be will not
accept Senator JJobinson's proposition to
withdraw from the State League chairman
ship contest. As a result, both will battle
till the Seranton Convention decides the
victor.
Mr. Daizell regards it as somewhat amns
ing that he letter written to him, and pre
sumably a private communication, should
have been shown him by a Dispatch re
porter twelve hours before his own copy ar
rived. He indulges in considerable sarcasm
at his opponent's expense. In Pittsburg
and vicinity any other decision than this on
the part of Mr. Daizell wonld have been re
ceived with displeasure by the majority of
Bepublicans, to judge from the expressions
yvcrybody interested in politics was talk-
ig about the letter yesterday, and the
jpinion seems almost unanimous in favor of
a rejection of its proposition. Mr. Kobinson, "
on learning the reception his epistle had
met, at once announced his intention of
pushing things to the finish. The contest
has been given doubled impetus, and
promises to be decidedly warm from this
time on. Mr. Daizell was seen yesterday
in his office and said
MR. DALZELL'S SARCASM.
"To think that I will withdraw fromthe
fight is the greatest nonsense. Mr. Kobin
son says ho now holds the reins of victory.
It would bo ungenerous in me to deprive
him of tnis certain glory. I cannot by any
action of mine allow him thns to throw him
self aw ay. I have decided to remain in the
fight. The Republican party will not be In
jured by the contest. On the contrary, is
will bo stimulated to victory through tho
rivalry created in this struggle.
"My opponent speaks of harmony and
says ho wants no bad blood after the conven
tion meets this winter. There will be no bad
blood. Everyone likes to see a fair fight,
and It keeps up the interest in the League.
There is only ono way in w hich any ill-feeling
can Tesnlt, and that is when treachery
and deceit are resorted to. It is only when
this treachery anddeceitare resorted to thas
honest men protest. Let the fight bo hon
orablo and honest, and I will stand good for
it that there will not bo a murmur from tho
Daizell people.
"It seems very amusing to me to see a man
with victory in his grasp giveup so easily. If
Mr. Robinson has won this fight, ns he says
he has, he should have all the credit of vic
'tory. I would not take one vote of It from,
him, therefore I am unqualifiedly a candi
date and will be one until the matter is set
tled at Seranton on tho 23d of next month.
It wonld not bo fair to my friends for me to
qmt at this late day."
mr. robinson's rejoinder.
The Philadelphia correspondent of Thb
Dispatch scuds the following:
When told this afternoon that Congress
man John Daizell declined to draw out of
the fight for the League Presidency at hid
request. Congressman-elect John B. Robin
son said: "1 had my donbts about Dalzf l's
agreeing to withdraw when I made the oer,
but it was made in good faith and for the
reasons alleged A good many of Mr. Dal
zell's friends I know have been trying to gee
him out of the light, but ho insists to them
that if he wins this Lcaguo contest it will
pat him on the high road to the United
States Senate. As I said before, he has no
chanco of winning the fight so far as the
regular clubs are concerned. I havo been
informed that he intends to tnko down a
number of mushroom clubs and organize a
leagne of his ownontside of the regular
organization. Of cour.-o I don't know
whether this is true or not, ns I have no
definite information on the subject.
"At this stage of the game, however, I
would like to ask Mr. Daizell. categorically,
whether he intends to abide by the decision
of the Seranton Convention? I presume he
meant the words nsed In his speech nt Tort
when he says, 'The interests or those who
are candidates for league honors are of little
importance, the interests of the Republican
party are of transcendant importance,' in a
Pickwickian sense, as 1 stated in.se nignt,
my withdrawal was based upon his acquiesc
ence also. As be has not met me in the
spirit in which I advanced tho proposition
for the good of the party, I am still in it,and
it will now be a fight to the finish."
rEELINC IN 3I0NTG0MERY COUNTY.
A member of the DIrigo Club, of Ardmore,
has the following to saj- concerning the
sentiment of Montgomery county people on
the present contest:
"If the feeling against Hon. John B. Robin
son in Montgomery county, a county im
mediately adjoining bis own, maybe accept
ed as an index of party sentiment through
out the State, it may be reasonably assumed
that there can be no doubt of his defeat at
the Seranton convention. The clubsat Potts
town, Norristown and Cheltenham several
weeks ago arrayed themselves against Rob
inson, and the influential Dirigo Club of
Montgomery county, which includes among
its members many of the leading Republi
cans throughout the county, indicated in un
mistakable language its preference for some
one else for the position of League Presi
dent. "Messrs. John Roberts, H. Legrand En
sign, William B. Crawford and Charles A.
Baiker made stirring addresses and boldly
joined in condemnation or 'Jack Robinson,
and asserted that such Republicans as he
invite defeat at the polls. 'Ihe club is com
posed of business nnd professional men, and.
boasts that it has not an office holder in the
organization. Messrs. II. Legrand inslgn,
Charles F. Peddrick and V. D. Read were
elected delegates, and Jnmes G. Dicks, F. P.
Azpell and C H. Fredericks, alternates to
the Seranton convention, and resolutions
instructing the delegates to oppose Mr- Rob
inson's candidacy wero passed almost
unanimously. This action of tho Dirigo
Club arrays Montgomery comity solidly
against Robinson."
