REPUBLICAN LEAGUE
CONVENTION AT ERIE
Official Circular Letter from Major
Everett Warren to tbe Clubs.
MANY NOTABLES TO BE PRESENT
PrCHidcut Warren Calls Attention to
Current Issues and Snys Something
About Silvers-Special Railroad
R:Ucs--.McKiu!cy, Hobart, Harri
son, Quay. Morton, Mannuiakcr
and Others Invited.
A circular letter has been sent out
from this city "to the Republican
league clubs and all Republicans" of
the state by Major Everett Warren of
this city, president of the League. Tile
letter, which contains announcements
of the approaching League convention
and refers to current political issues
is, in part, as follows;;
To the It- ubliran League Clubs and all
Republicans:
"In compliance with the provisions
of the constitution of the League, es
tablishing an annual convention, and
in accordance with the action of the
executive committee, the ninth annum
convention of. tlia Republican League
of Pennsylvania Is hereby called to
mo t In tho New Park opera house nt
Krk Wednesday, September 3ih, lSMi,
at 10 o'clock a. in. The ratio of rep
resentation will be ns heretofore, three
delegates and three alternated from
each club in the League. proldeci thnt
ull clubs niust te qualllii.d under the
provisions of Articl'- XIII of the con
stitution. THIS TEAK'S BATTLE.
"Tho buttle this year Is; one of tlie
most Important ever waged in tills
country for political supremacy. Th?
I ::i uilo-D'inoctatic policy, as set out
in the platform at Chicago, Is radical,
violent and dishonest; It neutralizes
and undcrmlnrs tho authority of the
government; it strikes nt the very llfo
of tho nation us well as its integrity
and honor; its effect would be to par
nlize our industries and our commer
cial growth, destroy the standards nf
wages and employment, impair exist
ing contracts and repudiate sacred ob
ligations. It doss not require a pro
fessional knowledge of tho currency
question to see the danger of free and
unlimited coinage of silver. The
scheme would enable any man who has
a nugget of silver ore to take it to the
mint, and for .every fifty-three cents
worth of silver he will be presented
with a clean new made dollar. This
would be a splendid thing for the mine
owner and operator but how would it
result for the rest of us? Why not
make the government Issue certificates
to the amount of five dollars for aquan
tity of coal iworth In the market only
$3.75 to every man who presents .
ton of 2.240 pounds to the mint? It
may be bulky, but we can find places
for storage. This would help us In tho
anthracite coal regions temporarily
how would It effect the rest of the
fnited States?
AS TO THE FARMER.
The letter says of silver: "How
would free coinage help the farmer?
He might secure a larger because in
Mated price for his products, but at
the same time the purchasing power
of his money receipts would diminish
In equal It not still greater ratio. IIcvv
would it help the wage earner?. Is he
not entitled to a dollar worth one hun
dred cents, the purchasing power of
which Is as much as any other dollar
In the world? The free silver craze
Is not all. The repudiation of obliga
tions, both public and private, this is
Indefensible, but the platform does not
stop there. As Henry Watterson, th'!
distinguished Democratic editor of tlii
Louisville Courier-Journal, says, "it Is
the open door to revolution." The na
tional authority. It Is proposed, shall
be crippled and made subservient to
state and municipal government and
to the people en masse. This Is worse
than nullification. The Independence
of the judiciary Is to be destroyed.
This strikes at the root of our system
of government.
Against these heresies and fanatical
Ideas, un-American and un-Demo-cratle,
all classes of the people ought
to array themselves, and prepare to
march In this campaign under the ban
ners of Republicanism.
RAILROAD RATES.
"Special railroad rates have been se
cured for the convention, and Informa

nished by Florence C. Miller, Esq.,

SINGER CAUSED TROUBLE.
Po!ice Summoned to the Greek Catholic
I Church on the South Side to
Prevent a Disturbance.
An epidemic of church troubles ap
pears to be in the atmosphere among !
the foreign sneaking Catholics of the '
city. Rev. X. Chanuth. pastor of the j
Greek Catholic church on the corner of ,
living avenue and Hickory street,
South Side, telephoned for th police j
c terilay afternoon to take steps to
i tippress a threatened outbreak. i
Patrolman John Raltry was on day j
duty as desk rergeant and he sent word i
to the South Side station to Lieutenant j
Zt'iis, by whom a squad of police was
detailed. The storm clouds hovered
overhead for awhile, and then passed
away without doing nny mischief.
In the Greek Catholic church the or
gan is not used, und at the services
there Is a man called tlie singer, who
corresponds to the organist In other
churc hes It Is the singer's duty to lead
the congregation In the psalms. Usually
a man is paid a good salary to fulfill
tills olllce, for it Is not everyone that
can do It properly.
Tho congregation and trustees met
yesterday mornlncr In the church base
ment after mass to elect a singer, there
being a vacancy. It Is the custom for
the pastor to advertise In newspapers
published in the language of these peo
ple for a singer. The salary that Is to
be paid is stated and other Information
that Is necessary.
In pursuance of this advertisement
four applications were received by
Father Chanath, and it Is a rule that no
one outside of those who send In their
applications In regular form duly re
ceived by the priest can be selected ns
singer. But nt the meeting there was a
minority in favor of selecting one who
had not sent In his application.
A majority of the congregation and
trustees, however, elected John Paul
Isinec, who arrived here lately from
the old country. The minority wanted
Alexander Zrabely, now of New York,
but who two years ago was singer in
this church, und was ousted by the
very men who sought to reestablish
him.
Notwithstanding the fact that Zra
bely was turned down by a large ma
jority the malcontents threatened to
come to the afternoon vespers and have
him lead the singing. Father Chanath
refused to come out of the house and
officiate with Zrabely us singer, and for
fear of a clash between lioth sides the
police were sent for. The adherents
of Zrabely did not press their action
and the trouble was averted.
WARG0 FIRED TO KILL.
llurtiu .YIcDonoiigh, of Fourth Street,
Had u Narrow Escape.
Martin McDonough, of Fourth street,
last Saturday night attempted to pass
off a button on Hotelkeeper John Wargo
In payment for a consumed glass of beer
and when Wargo objected McDonough
stole the glass wherein the beer was.
The result of all this was a fracas.
Wargo's place .of business is on Fifth
avenue. At about 8 o'clock McDonough
entered the saloon and called for beer.
He drank It and placed the button on
the bar. Wargo said:
"This is not the first time you have
done this, you must pay."
Then McDonough took the beer glass
In his hand and started for the door.
There Wargo met him and as the hotel
keeper Is the stronger the glass was re
taken. Then McDonough went outside
mid fired rton s through the windows
of the hotel. He also selected a large
cobble and going Into the saloon cut a
deep gash In Wargo's head, ns the lat
ter rtood behind the bar. About this
time Wargo's twenty-year-old son came
around and, seeing his father nssaulted,
he drew a revolver and fired at McDon
ough. The shot missed Its mark though
young Wargo says he meant to kill.
BIG ROW ON SEVENTH STREET.
Four Arabians Make It Very Interest
ii.g in Thnt Neighborhood.
Four Arabians drank heavily of beer
during the latter end of last week, and
the result was a free-for-all melee yes
terday afternoon In lower Seventh
street. The sor.s of the shnh were beat
ing ore another with clothes poles and
stones and n bir crowd collected. Spe
cial Oilieer K. Weiss attempted to get a
hand in the fun, but he was In no wise
successful.
Afterward Mr. Weiss and Constable
James Clarke went to the scene of the
disturbance. With the butts of re
volvers the officers knocked down three
of the men, and the prisoners were
teken before Alderman Hear, cf the
Eighteenth ward, who sent them to the
county Jail to await trl-.il. The names
on the eon.r.iittnient are .Michael Mes
slink. fleoige Me.-sal. and the aristm rat
io iiu:;res Thomas Chaffe. One of the
pu n wa3 taken to the jail without a
shirt.
Later in the day the alderman sent up
papers for their release. Friends came
around and settled lines of $10.30, which
had been levied on each of the prison
ers. Threatened to Kill.
Patrick Hlgglns of Hyde Park Bwore
out a warrant Saturday night for hi3
brother, Thomas, before Alderman
Hor.ve on the charge of threatening to
kill. The evidence at the hearing did
not substantiate the charge and the
defendant was released on his own
recognizance.

SENATOR MANLEY
OBJECTED TO HART
Mayor Bailey Was Compelled to With
draw His Appointments.
DEMOCRATIC C0UNCILMEN RILED
Claim That His Honor Krqkc Faith
with Them They Refused to Make
a Quorum Until Assured 'that No
Appointments Would Ho Head.
( Routine liusiucss Tiiut Was Tians
acted.
As announced In The Tribune Satur
day Mayor Bailey sent no appointments
to select council that night. This was
not altogether his honor's fault. After
his interview with The Tribune repor
ter he ehansed his mind and decided
to ask the select council to confirm
Jnmes Hart of the Fifteenth ward, for
patrolman, Thomas Cullen for food in
spector and permanent men for the Re
lief, Hook and Ladder and Niagara
companies.
There were no particular objections
by the councllmen on any of these ap
pointments save that of Hart but there
was a most decided objection against
that and for several reasons.
Some time ago the mayor, so the
councllmen say, agreed that he would
send In no police appointments without
apprising them and that where there
were several applicants for the Eame
position Irom tho tsame ward they would
be consulted in mnklng a choice. This
was not done In the Hart case, the
candidate's cause being championed by
Councilman H. T. Fellow. Another
cause for complaint Is this: When Pa
trolman Coleman was removed from the
force It left the Twelfth ward without
representation in the police department
and Select Councilman Manley avers
that he soured Mayor Bailey's promise
that the next mnn to don the blue
would be David Clark of the Twelfth.
The sending In of Hart's name Manley
considered a great affront and he swore
by nil the gods, n Helen t and modern,
that Mayor Halley will get no one ap
pointed until he attends to the case ol
Mr. Clark.
NO APPOINTMENTS THE CRY.
Saturday night's meeting was called
for general business and at 8 o'clock all
of the Republican members were In
their place but the Democrats were
conspicuous by their absence. They
had caucused and decided upon a
course of action and some were In the
city clerk's otlice, others In the corridor
while several found their way Into the
mayor's office and told their Burglntr
thoughts to his honor.
At 8 o'clock Mr. Chittenden came out
into the hallway and explained the ur
gent need of holding a meeting as many
matters of great Importance required
Immediate attention. He addressed
himself partleula.rly to Mr. Manley.
"There's a meeting next Thursday
night," said tho senator from tho
Twelfth.
"I know," replied Mr. Chittenden,
"but a number of the members will be
out of town then on their vacation and
we can't meet on that night."
"Well we can't help that," blurted Mr.
Manley petulantly, "we'll be here."
"Now look here," said Mr. Chittenden,
"we want to meet tonight, we ought to
meet; what do you fellows want, let
us know and we'll try and accommodate
you."
"We don't want any appointments
read tonight, that's what we want. The
reading of appointments nwans no
meeting."
"Well we can skip that order of busi
ness," replied Mr. Chittenden. "I think
that can be arranged all right" and he
went back to the- council chamber to
consult with his Republican brethren.
APPOINTMENTS WITHDRAWN.
In the meantime the mayor had been
acquainted fully with the situation and
he agreed to withhold the contemplated
appointments. At 8.12 as the council
was ubout to adjourn because of the
absence of a quorum Senator Manley
led his braves Into the council cham
ber, shouting an he did so, "Now you
can call the roll." It was done and the
following responded to their names:
Flnley Ross, Wade M. Finn, J. J.
Kearney, W. J. Thomas, John E. Roche,
M. E. Clarke, Fred J. Durr, C. E. Chit
tenden, O. F. Wag-ner, James J. Manley,
H. T. Fellows, Adam Schroeder, M. J.
Burns. Thomas Coyne and George San
derson. Mr. Finn, chairman of the police com
mittee, reported that the time fixed for
the hearing In the ease of Patrolman
Joseph Bloeh Is Wednesday evening at
7 o'clock In the mayor's office.
The ordinance appropriating $250 for
the purchase of a carriage for Chief En
gineer Hickey was amended to read
$-00. The clause authorizing the Joint
lire department committee to award
the contract for the wagon was sub
tracted from the ordinance.
In regard to the paving of West
Lackawanna avenue, Mr. Manley want
ed to have tho ordinance amended be
cause It called for West Mountain stone,
which, he said, wna giving a monopoly
to that article. Mr. Fellows informed
him thnt there are several dlTerent
