The Democrats are Anxiously Awaiting the Outcome of the Republican Conven tion on Monday Heit The Recent State Delegate Election. Special Hbhald correspondence. PorrsviLtH, August IS. Much more activity among the political workors Is manifested now thun when I lost wroto my budget of news. Right here 1 must beg your pardon, for falling to send you regularly a weekly lettor. Tlio fact or the matter Is I liavo been rusticating among tlio mountains and listening to the sad sea waves for tlio past two wcoks. Whilo away I mingled with a number of tbo liepublican stato leaders, and bnd a few moments chat itli the old man" and bis colleague in tho Senate, Boles l'enrose. Tho latter manifests great interest in Schuylkill county politics, and was especially interested in tho cloction of stato delegates. In saying this I do not mean to imply that our mutual friend, Hoics, "issued orders," but the fact that tbo two Stato Senators and Congressman, to say nothing of tho gallant Major l-innoy, woro candidate for stato dele gate, naturally created unusual intorost among tho stato leaders. Tho rosult may have surprised tho latter, but long ago I pre dicted tho oulcomo almost as it actually oc curred. Tlio defeat of Covlo and Wvatt. whilo It may fiavo been a tremendous surpriso to many, win act as ajtvarning to omors within tho Republican fold, and will of necessity causo tbo formation of new alliances. Coylo's disastrous defeat rolcgatoa liim to tlio rear. and iu tho natural course of events places him In tbo position of a leader without fol lowers. Those wJrb supportod him In tho past under tbo supposition that he had favors to bestow will now desert bis banner and vow allegianco to tbo victors. It was over thus, Tho peoplo havo 119 use for a loser, especially in pontics, wnile tne Senator fully real zos that bo is in bad grace with the people of His district, this tact does not affect bis equilibrium to tbo extent that his defeat has upon tho stato leaders. On one or two occa sions ho assured tlio lattor that he and Wyatt would represent tho First district in tho stato convention ; but thoy wont, for the very good reason that the Republican voters desired somo ono else. It is bad enough to ho de feated in a fight for personal vindication, but to full in grace at "headquarters" is adding insult to injury. Viewing tho result from this distance it strikos mo that Coylo mot a foe worthy of his stcol. Messrs. Straughn and Brill, tho successful candidates, aro entitled to much credit and havo placed themselvos iu lino for furthor advancement in thodino of political nonors. liy tlio aid or a small army of sun- porters, each contributing to tlio common causo, thoy fought their battlo and gained thoir victory. And that is tho ono thing necossary iu politics. In tho Fourth distiict wo had a battle royal, and tbo result was a division of honors. Congressman Brumm and Major Finney were both successful. It is true Senator Losch fell by the wayside, but bo tells his friends that his fight was pot so much to secure his own olectlon but to- roako cpmrnou causo with 1-inney. Losch threw his strength to tho lattor, und whilo it may appear 011 the sur- laco as a aeleat lor tno halo-beaded states man his friends take sn entirely different view of tlio matter. Tho Republican hosts will ho lined up again on batunlay, wlicn tho party prim arios will bo held for tho election of delegates to the county convention, which meots in this town on Monday. Interest centres in tho fight for Sheriff, and tho largo number of candidates iu the field makes tho outcomo very uncertain. The candidates- so far an uounced are : II. S. Albright, of Orwigsburg; C. O. Smith, Mahanoy City; S. Itoll Beddall, Port Carbon: Clay W. Evans, St. Clali; G . Poorfllnger, f DtUfville; F. E. Magargle and John Roberts, Blicnapdoah. The withdrawal of J. W. Geary, Jr., leaves tlio fip)d pipar fpr Doorlllnger, who wl rerplvo tip S0 ill ypto from Pottsvlllo. To say who tho wlnnor will ho is mere guess work. There aro cer tain complications entering into tlio contest that precludes all predictions. It is safe to say, bowovor, that Albright or Smith will lead on tbo first and second ballots, and after that tboro will likely bo a general scramble to lino up fur the likely winner. Outside of Smith and Albright, the candidates aro mak ing their fight for second choice If this piovcs to bo true, I might venture tho predic tion tliatS. Jtoll Beddall will bo mighty near tno top when tbo round-up comes. However. opinion dinars so much in this respect that am, to tell the truth, all at sea. Iu tho Democratic camp the Shrievalty fight Is assuming an interesting phaso. There aro threo candidates lu tho field, but it is safe to say that tho nomination will go to eltbor Shenandoah of Minersvillo. "Tom" Ulg- Kins, when 1P hem, appeared very eonfiden that ho would win, and tliero are many of the samo oplnlou. "Llttlo Jack" Toole, howovor, is making an aotlvo fight. Botli these men are shrewd polit ical shape in and will enter the con ventlon with strong following. Deals are said to havo been made with one or two can dldates for Poor Plrectorthat will complicate matters somewhat. Our Democratic friends display more interest In the Republican scramble for office than iu their own family quarrel. Especially is this true in refsreuoe to the Jifnloial nomination. Judge llechtol will have no opposition for re-election, and fur once Schuylkill county will be treated to a non-partisan judicial canipalgu. Whether the Republican convention will nominate Bvohtel, endorse him or leave tho office vacant is yet to be' determined by that hotly. There have been several changed iu the ballot law, and It is said ono of thein to the effect that a candidate's uamo cannot appear twice upon the same ballot. I have not read tbe new law, but a leading attorney interprets tho law in that manner. If this be truo, should tbo Republicans nominate llechtol his name cannot appear iu tho Demo cratic column, and ho would be elected as Uepubllpau. The same gentleman Is author ity for the statement that there lg nothing i tho electiou law prohibiting either nartv from nominating two candidates for Jury Commissioner. Heretofore each party has nominated hut one person for this office, and as a result a nomination was equivalent to an election. But things will be different should eaeh party present two candidates for th ollloe. Tbe Democratic eonventlou will be con trolled by the free silver wlug of that party They can do what they please, so far as the financial question is ooucerned. Tho sound motley hion am taking Tory little luterut In tbo contest, and m 0110 of tliem oxpreesed It yesterday, ''We- don't cure fig what tbe convention does with the financial question or who thoy nominate. Our tlmo will come noxt year." It is likely that the convention will follow, the esahiple of the Maryland Democrat, and straddle the question. The rMUlt of the state delegate election linn canned many of the Itepubllcau 1 Bailors to do "some tall thinking." While each of them have their personal choice for tlio various offices to 1 filled, they are all laying their plana to tecure the election of n county chairman of their own choosing with a view to controlling the organization. For this reason, two candidates for Jury Commissioner may be nominated. The control of the organisation by either faction will be a point gained in tbo great battle for supremacy noxt year. And it will he n battle roynl, too. X-ltAY. FARMERS QUARREL Dispute Over Land I.cnil to Suits l'or As snnlt. Isaac Jones and Luelftn and William Mon- beck aro farmers owning neighboring lauds tho Oatawlsen Valley. For somo time theie has been a dispute between Jones and tho Monbecksas too right of easement over the former's farm. It is understood that there is a path or lane over the farm which tho Monbecks havo boon using for sovoral years, but as troublo was caused by cows getting in on Jones' pasturos by rea son of fence rails being left down Jones con cluded to stop traffic over tlio place.

COXEY FOR GOVERNOR ! Charges That Antt-Fusionists Had Been Corrupted by Hanna's Money Led to a Row Which Necessitated a Call on the Police far Protection. Columbui, O., Aus;. 12. Fusion was repudiated yesterday by the Populists of Ohio In a manner bo emphatic as to leave no ohance for controversy rs ganllng the future policy of the party. The Populist state convention, by an overwhelming1 majority, severed the al liance made a year ago with the Dem ocats on the free silver Issue and nom inated a full state ticket, headed by Jacob S. Coxey of "commonweal" fame as the nominee for governor. Turbu lent scenes marked the opening of the convention. The nnti-fualonlsW had swept everything before them, captur ing tho temporary and permanent or ganization and all the committees, and they were on their mettle. Nor was tho policy adopted by the fuslonists calculated to temper the feeling which had been aroused among the mlddle-of- tlie road delegates, The threat of the fuslonists to explode a bomb In the convention was like flaunting a red flag, and when the convention assem bled the delegates were ready for any surprise that might be sprung. Tho report of the committee on rules and order of business brought out tho promised sensation. The report pro vided that no speech should exceed five minutes, regardless of the subject discussed. Several delegates immedi ately joined in a protest against this provision, claiming that It was con trary to the fundamental principle of the People's party, and an amendment was offered to strike out of the report tne obnoxious section. Finally Peter Witt, of Cleveland, se cured recognition from Chairman Seltz, and mounting a chair proceeded to de nounce the committee making the re port, and asserted that the convention had been bought out by Mark Hanna. lie claimed that delegates had been bribed by the Republicans, and he had tho proof providing ho was given nn opportunity to produce It. The matter could not be presented In five minutes, nor discussed in that time, and he charged that the committee's report was aimed to prevent It. As Witt waived aloft in his hand a piece of paper, which he claimed was a. cheak that had been given to ono of the dele gates by an agent of JIark Hanna, ho launched Into a bitter invective against the antl-fuslonlsts, charging that all of them had been corrupted by Hanna money. A score of delegates were on their feet In an Instant crowding around the chair on which Witt stood. When ono of the delegates attempted to pull Witt oft 'the chair the latter struck at the delegate, and a general mplee ensued In which several blows were exchanged and chairs raised aloft In a threaten lng manner, A policeman, who was present, rushed In and 'Interrupted the hostilities, and a few minutes later a platoon of police reached the hall and the convention proceeded, after order had been restored, with a blue coat on guard In onch nlsle.Tlie police remain ed until the convention took a final adjournment. The antl-fuslonlsts were not in the least dismayed by the charges that had been made, and the report of the committee on rules and order of bust ness was adopted In its ariglnal form by a vote of C36 to 170, which was the (lrst nccurate Bhowing of the ..relative strength or the Tactions. The convention then effected a per mnnept organization. Temporary Chairman John Belts! was made per manent chairman. The resolutions adopted reaffirmed the Populist plat porms adopted by the Omaha and St. Louis conventions of the party. Before the morning session closed a resolution was adopted providing for the appointment of a committee to in vestigate charges made on tho floor of the convention that delegates had been corrupted. The fuslonists who made the charges opposed an inves tigation by a committee, claiming that it should be made In open convention. At the afternoon session the follow ing state ticket was nominated: For governor, Jacob Coxey: lieutenant gov ernor, Morris Whltcomb; supreme Jpdiw, D. C. Pomeroy; attorney general, C, A. neider; state treasurer. F. M, Morris. The ppnventlPn remained In session until 9 o'clock awaiting the report r." the Investigating committee, but It was not forthcoming, and the conven tion adjourned sine die, with the under standing that the committee would re port to the state central committee, Rev, J.

He referred to Hugo Preyor an a prominent Topullst whose services would be worth securing, and arranged for a conference later between Major Dick and Preyor and hlmsWlf. At that conference, he claimed, Major Dick agreed to pay the expenses of headquarters, literature, etc., for the anti-fusion Populists at the state con vention. Major Dick asked them If they needed any money for expenses, and Preyor said he did not Taylor ac cepted J26 and a railroad ticket.

The Demo cratic state convention was called to order yesterday by General George J. Hundley. O. D. Letcher was temporary chairman and IS. W. Saunders perma nent chairman. Every denunciation of the gold standard by the speakers elicited ap plause from the convention. The first greatest outburst of cheering was evoked by Chairman Saunders' declara tion that Wlillmn J. Bryan will be the president in 1900. At the conclusion of his speech Mr. Saunders was given a hearty ovation. Judge Samuel Williams, of Wythe, presented a communication from the committee appointed by the Populist state convention which nominated Ed mund It. Cocke for lieutenant governor. This communication was referred to the committee on resolutions. The platform makes the following de claration: "We reaffirm the platform of the na tional Democratic convention adopted In Chicago in July, 1896, and upon which W. J. Bryan was nominated for the presidency of the United States, and we extend our congratulations to our no ble champion upon the able and bril liant manner In which he discharged the trust reposed in him. The fact that he received more votes than any candidate for the presidency and more than any cnndldate of any party, sav lng alone his successful opponent. Is evidence that Democratic principles aro still dear to a vast mass of the American neople." The Dlnttley tariff Is denounced, an Income tax favored, and the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of 10 to 1 demanded. The platform also declares for primary elections to Indicate the popular choice for United States senntor and com mits legislative candidates to accept the result of these primaries.
