Leaders at Headparters in
Kew York Declare These
Two Gentlemen
AEE NOW SUKELY IN LINE.
Toth Announced as Really Aniions
lo Get on the Ice Wagon,
WITH TOKGS IN THEIR HANDS.
Chairman Tarter Perfectly Delighted With
the Good 2tews.
HE HURRIES TCITII IT TO PHILADELPHIA
tSriClAL TrlXCRAM TO TOE DISPATCH.
Kew Yokk, Aug. 17. There was great
rejoicing in both the National and State
camps of the Republican organization to
night over the news that Senator Matthew
Stanley Quay, of Pennsylvania, and cx
Senator Thomas Collier Piatt, of New
York, who have held aloof from active par
ticipation in the Presidental campaign,
have finally picked up their tongs and
jumped on the Harrison ice wagon along
side General James S. Clarkson, to work
hand-in-hand with Thomas Henry Carter,
from henceforth to November 8 next
Hamilton Disston, of Philadelphia,
.brought the news of Mr. Quay's placation
this morning in the shape of a letter from
the Pennsylvania Senator to Chairman Car
ter. So happy was the Chairman that,
though he had but just returned from a
two days' visit to "Washington, he posted
off at once to the Quaker City to consult
with the man who so successfully conducted
the Republican campaign in 1883.
What Mr. Quay's message to Mr. Carter
contained Mr. Disston would not say. He
did say, however, that it had come to him
through David Martin, the national com
mitteeman for the Keystone State Repub
licans, and that it conveyed assurances
which leave no doubt as to Mr. Quay's
loyalty to the Republican Presidental
ticket.
rintt'6 Placation Announced.
The fact that Mr. Piatt's influence In the
Republican party of this State had been
duly recognized by the administration was
officially announced at the State headquar
ters in the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-night. It
was said that Mr.Platt had an interview with
Chairman Hackett, of the Republican State
Executive Committeej to-day, at which the
Republican leader made the first public
declaration of his attitude toward the ticket
since its nomination at Minneapolis.
Mr. Piatt said that he would like an
active part in the campaign in this State,
and would aid the State committee in every
way in his power. Mr. Hackett expressed
a lively satisfaction at this declaration. "If
every professed Republican in the State
were as good a partisan as Mr. Piatt," said
he, "there would be little doubt as to the
result." The interview between Mr. Piatt
and Mr. Hackett was held at Mr. Piatt's
downtown office this afternoon by appoint
ment. An Immediate Effect Noticeable.
The eflect of the announcement that Quay
and Piatt had decided to come into the fold
was very noticeable at both 518 Fifth avenue
and at State headquarters in the Fifth
Avenne Hotel. The machinery, which has
been standing still, waiting for motive
power, began to grind, and the wheels went
around with a business-like whirr
for the first time. Press Agent
Lemuel Ely Quigg opened his bureau at
Rational headquarters, but his typewriting
force was not ready, so that he was unpre
pared to reel off information by the yard, as
it is his purpose to do in the future. For
the first time since the establishment of
headquarters the announcement was made
that there was news to be given out.
Chairman Carter saw no one before his
departure for Philadelphia at 12:20 o'clock
but Mr. Disston and Senator Habsbrough, of
North Dakota, General Clarkson and Rich
ard C. Kerens, the Missouri member of the
National Committee. It was whispered
that one object of Mr. Carter's visit was to
induce Senator Quay to lend the weight of
his influence and experience for the benefit
of the executive campaign committee by
joining it In an advisory capacity.
What Chairman Carter Missed.
So precipitate was the Chairman's depart
ure for Philadelphia that he missed seeing
Judge A. H. .Leonard and ex-Coneressman
B. C. Miner, of Louisiana, who have had
an appointment to discuss with him the
subject of the National Committee's recog
nizing the Leonard faction of the Republi
cans in that State as regular, as against the
taction headed by ex-Governor Yarmouth.
Tne gentlemen aired their grievances before
General Clarkson and .Secretary McComas.
Other visitors to the Republican national
headquarters were Captain "W. M. Mere
dith, Chief of theBureau of Engraving
and Printing at Washington; Postmaster
AV. "W. Johnson, of Baltimore; Harry C.
New, of the Indianapolis Journal, and
Major Alexander Shaw, of Maryland.
Chairman Carter will return to his desk
to-morrow. At the Republican State Com
mittee's headquarters a list of visitors was
given out, including the names of Congress
man Quackenbnsh, of Troy; State Senators
Joseph Mnllin and John H. Derby, Assem
blvman Milo M Acker, of Steuben; Colonel
H." E. Abell, of Albany, and Rev. Dr.
William B. Derrick and T. Thomas For
tune. Dr. Derrick will stomp the State,
despite the fact that he was defeated for re
election as the colored member oi the State
Committee. Mr. Hackett will be relieved
to-morrow by Chairman Brookfield, and
will start for a week's vacation along the
St. Lawrence.
Jndc Gresham Not a Caller.
One visitor who was looked for at B18 Fifth
venue yesterday was Judge "Walter Q.
Gresham, but, although he was stopping
less than three blocks from the Republican
National Headquarters, he did not call on
General Clarkson. Judge 'Gresham had
come over from Thompson, Conn., to visit
Colonel Robert Ingersoll, and had put up
at the "Windsor Hotel lor a few hours. He
refused to be interviewed regarding his at
titude in the National contest.

PEPPER'S PANACEA.
He Tells the People oi Brie What to Do
to Be Saved From Evil Government.
Ehie, Aug. 17. Special The auditor
ium at the Conneaut Lake Exposition
grounds was well filled this afternoon, when
Congressional Nominee Sibley was j an
nounced as chairman ot the day. He opened
with a burst ot oratory in regard to the
"American House of Lords." He then very
cleverly introduced one of the lords in the
person ot United States Senator Peffer, the
speaker of the day, as an illustrious child of
Pennsylvania and a citizen of.Kansas. The
theme which the Senator had chosen was
"A New Bra In Politics." He said:
Wo people of Kansas are peculiar people.
We have started & new ara tn politics which
.will sweep triumphantly over the whole
land. What do 1 mean by the new era In
politics? I will tell you. A time has come
which will raise up Just, humane institu
tions and not break them down a rebellion
or thought and mind that will benefit an
mankind, and not a chosen few, and instead
of its belne a government of a class, by a
class and for k class, it will be of the people,
for the people and by the people.
The Senator then entered into the histor
ical aspect of the question, going over the
growth of the country and its industries,
showing how happy and prosperous people
were in the "good old time" In their indi
vidual liberty until the present lorm of cen
tralization of industries began. To-day the
great mass of the people are depending
upon the few who control the great indus
tries and own the capital necessary to
operate them. He depicted the evils of the
time, but could not give his hearers what
they wanted, namely, a good, reasonable
way to remedy the existing state of affairs.
Referring to the present labor troubles, he
gave three remedies: First, let them alone
as long as they do not destroy property, and
let them settle it themselves. Second, if
the State must interfere, it should do so in
favor of both. Third, if the Government
must interfere, then own and operate these
industries. Hon. Jerry Simpson was un
avoidably absent.

The buildings along the route of the pro

national Pythian colors.

Even black City Hall was dressed in gala

when she had before thus bedecked herself.
"While the decorations were profuse along

The knights were greeted with applause
everywhere they went, especially on Fifth
avenue and Ohio street, and the various
unique features introduced by some of the
lodges were hugely relished by the crowds.
Among the novelties presented was a car
riage containing lour
knights togged out as
"ye olden knights."
This was the concep
tion of Hope Lodge,

out in carriages. This

great deal of attention along the line.

Reviewed by Grand Lodge Officers.
The parade after passing over the route
as given in yesterday morning's Dispatch
reached Sherman avenue about 4 o'clook,
where they passed in review before the
officers of the Grand Lodge; the Beception
Committee, all of the standing committees,
the Supreme representative, Past Grand
Chancellors and the Marshals. A great
crowd bad gathered there and watched the
review with great interest. The review
was finished at 5 o'clock and
the Knights dispersed. One peculiarity re
marked by a great many people was the
rapid step taken by the Knights throughout
the line of march. They were going very
near double quick time. Not a few com
plaints were heard about the length of the
route, but, notwithstauding the heat, very
few dropped out of line until after they had
passed the review. The whole event passed
off smoothly, the only hitches being caused
by the rapid transit cars and the large pro
cession attempting to occupy the narrow
streets at the same time.
Although the committee in charge of the
formation did all in their power to place the
men in their positions, there were some 450
men who could not find out where they were
to go and so did not appear in the parade.
A great many of them went over to Sher
man avenue and watched the review.
DISCUSSING DEATH BENEFITS.
The Second l)aj' Session ot the Grand
Lodes an Interesting One Conferrlns
of Past Chanoallor Decrees Some Prize
Drills To-Day.
The second day's session of the Grand
Lodge of the Knights of Pythias opened at
9 o'clock at the Grand Opera House yester
day morning. There was a larger number
of delegetes present than at the former ses
sion. The meeting was called to order by
the Grand Chancellor and the roll was
called, after which the password was taken
by the sergeant-at-arms. The minutes of
yesterday's meeting were read and ap
proved. Then the interesting ceremony of
conferring the past chancellor's degrees
upon 52 past chancellors was gone through,
atter which the report of the Committee of
Finance was read and adopted as presented.
The Most Interesting; Fentare.
Then came the most interesting feature
of the day's session. It was the report of
the Advisory Committee oi the relief fund.
This is an optional benefit for the members
of the order and pays $250 upon death. The
fee is 25 cents per month, subject to assess
ments if necessary. It was proposed to take
the control of t that department out of the
hands of the Grand Lodge and place it un
der the control of the subordinate divisions,
Heretofore the Grand Lodge has ap
pointed all the officers ofHha relief fund
and has managed all Its affairs. The Grand
Lodge officials eZ-officlo are members of the
Advisory Committee who control the fund.
Membership can only be obtained by appli
cation and ballot through the subordinate
lodge to which the applicant belongs. Thus
vvcj member is made a guard against the
admittance of anyone who. is not in good
health.
A great many members qf the order con
tend that the government of the relief fund
should be in the hands ot those who are
members of it, and that it should not be
governed by the Grand Lodge, The subject
will hardly be acted upon at this convention
as it was not known that it would be
brought up and the delegates were not in
structed now to vote on the matter. The
delegates do not seem disposed to take the
responsibility themselves. The meeting ad-

NANCY NETER TOUCHED BY THE WHIP
Chicago, Aug. 17. Maud S. is no
longer queen of ihe trotting turf. The
proud position which the daughter of Har
old nas held so long has been wrested from
her, and Nancy Hanks reigns in her stead.
This afternoon at "Washington Park, in
the presence of 10,000 spectators, Budd Do
ble drove his beautiful mare to beat her rec
ord of 2:09. She not only beat her own
record, but lowered the world's trotting
record from 2:08 the time of Maud a, to
2:07.
The day was an IJeal day for trotting,
the sun shining warmly, hardly a oloud in
the sky and a cool, gentle breeze blowing
off Lake Michigan directly down the home
stretch. The track was a trifle dusty In
places, but as fast as it well could be. The
mare was in excellent condition, fit to trot
for a man's life, and before she made the
trial it was the general opinion that if
Nancy Hanks was ever to equal her record
of 2:09, "Washington Park and to-day were
the place and time to do it. Everything
was auspicious, there was nothing to pre
vent the mare from doing her best, and it
rested alone with her and Doble how far the
record was to be lowered.
Nanoy .Appears on the Track.
It was about 3 o'clock when Nancy first
came up on the track. She passed the
grand stand, while the other horses
were scoring, and received- but little recog
nition. An hour later she was out and went
portions of the track at a 2:20 clip. She was
warmly greeted this time, and after jogging
a mile went to the stable and was rubbed
down, preparatory to her trial heat, which
was scheduled for 5 o'clock.
Punctually to the minute the gate at the
east end of the track was opened and Doble
drove her out. She was without boots or
trappings oi any sort, and was hitched to
one of the new sulkies with ball bearings
and pneumatic tires. Doble walked her
slowly to the head of the lower turn and
then came back to the wire at a gentle pace.
After waiting a few moments until a drag
which had gone around the track close to
the pole had left the track, Doble drove her
back to the sixteenth pole and then came
down at a smashing gait.
Started on Her Fleet Mission.
Frank Starr, behind the pacemaker Abe
Lincoln, was waiting for him. Starter
"Walker leaned far over the railing
of the judges' stand, his eyes on
Doble's face, watching to see if he wanted
the word, just as the mare shot beneath
the wire Doble shook his head. Mr.
Walker drew back and Abe Lincoln pulled
up to await a second trial. Back to the
distance flag this time, and at a gentle trot,
which increased rapidly as she drew near
the wire, a nod from Doble and "Go"
flashed fronrWalker's lips as the mare shot
like an arrow toward the turn.
There was work for Abe Lincoln now,
and for the first sixteenth of a mile he lost
ground steadily. Then Starr urged him on,
and he was on Nanoy's wheel at the quar
ter. There was not a sound lnthe densely
packed grand stand as the mare flew past
the quarter pole in :31 a 2:06 gait She
started along the back stretch, trotting as
true as a die, head well up, and her Icet
striking the ground with the regularity of a
pendulum. The crowd began to murmur,
"She'll never do it; never in the world,"
but the old timers outlined Doble's gray
jacket against the picket fence beyond him,
and as she passed them so rapidly that they
seemed to be going backward they held
their breath and said nothing.
A Bwlft Half Mile Cheered.
They knew that the record was going.
As the mare, still keeping up ber beautiful
gait, went by the halt-mile pole in 1:03
a man in front of the grand stand called,
"1:04 at the half," a mighty yell went up
from the crowd.
"Keep quiet as she finishes," shouted
Starter Walker, but his warning was not
needed. The crowd had subsided of its
own accord. It's own breathless interest in
the event kept it quiet. Not a sound was
heard as she moved past the three
quarter pole and turned into the home
stretch. Abe Lincoln under the whip
moved up to Nancy's throat latch. Doble
spoke gently to her and her feet flew faster
than the eye could distinguish them,
"She'll do it: she'll do It. bv 1"
yelled an irrepressible, and there was a
taint yell as the fastest quartet of pattering
hoofs ever heard on a trotting track swept
under the wire. There was a moment's
pause, a hasty consulting of watches and
then an umbrella went sailing into the air
from near tne grand stand, it was accom- '
panied by loud-lunged howls, and then
bedlam broke loose,
Everybody Wild With Excitement.
Hafs, canes and coats were now tossed
wildly into the air. Men slapped each
other on the back and shook hands with
each other in sheer delight Incidentally
thev kept on yelling. The loud cheers
which went up told Doble even before lie
had slowed up that the record was broken,
and as he came back to the judges' stand
his lace was covered with a smile as wide as
the visor of his cap. He bad said that
Nancy Hanks would beat the record, and
she had done it
As Doble dismounted from his sulky be
was surrounded by men, who wrung his
hand again and again. "When he "had a
ehance to use a hand he lifted his cap in
acknowledgment of the cheers of the crowd.
Lould calls for "Doble, Doble" went up,
and the veteran reinsman, climbing Into the
grand stand, again removed his cap from
that head which holds so much knowledge
concerning trotters, and bowed repeatedly
to the wild applause that greeted him.
For the Kew Queen and Her Drivnr.
"Three cheers for Nanoy Hanks,"
shouted Starter Walker, and they came
from 10,000 throats with wild enthusiasm.
"Now three cheers for the man who
drove her," and again the air was shivered
and bats, coats, handkerchiels and about
everything else that could be thrown up
ward were sent in that direction. It was
fully ten minutes before the tumult sub
sided. The official time forthe mile, which was as
honest a mile as was ever trotted is :31,
1:03, 1:36, 2:07. The last quar
ter was trotted in 30 seconds.
The exhibition was given for a
certain Bum to be paid by the North
western Breeders' Association, under whose
direction the trotting meeting is being held.
An additional sum was to be paid if the
recoVd was beaten, but Doble declined Jo
say what it was. He waxed enthusiastic in
speaking of his mare after the heat was
over.
"She is, In my opinion," he said, "with
out a peer on the trotting turf. She was
not distressed in the slightest degree at
the end of the mile and finished fresh and
strong. "Within 20 minutes after trotting

that mile in 2:07 she could hare gone out
and trotted very close to it I dpn't say
that she could have equalled It, but she
could have put in a very fast mile without
much trouble. She trotted true Irom the
wire to the wire, never lost her head, and
did not show the slightest inclination to
leave herfeet"
Doble NoTr Used the 'Whip.
I did not touch her once with the whip
and only swished it through the air a little,
and spoke to her quietly as she entered, the
home stretch. I will not start her lrero
again, but I have every reason to believn
that she will make her present record a
back number by the time snow flies. She
did the trick so" comfortably to-day that I
am sure she can beat it in the future."
"Did you have any idea yon were break
ing the record?"
"I knew at the half," said Doble, with ft
quiet smile, "that Nancy was going to come
very close to it, anyhow. I looked at my
watch aud saw she had done it in 1:04 by my
watch, and I knew she could at least keep
up the gait at which she was going. Then
when I beard 'em yell as I finished I knew
It was done."
In trotting the heat the mare, who weighed
to-dav 870 pounds, pulled Doble, who
weighed ISO pounds, and a sulky of 62
pounds weight.
