and one post office supplied all of the Fort

Tampa Tribunt: The Republicans came
near doi:-g a very ridiculous thing at their
mass meeting last Saturday by indorsing the
Independent platform. They "did not seem to
be aware that that platform denounces the
Republican party as foam-capped with
fraud." If it had not lieen for one individual
in the meeting the indorsement would have
been made. After the blunder was discovered,
ihe meeting became so much afraid of the
resolutions that they failed even to indorse
Blaine and Logan, and laid the whole matter
on the table.
Gainesville Z'.n'/y Bee: An old negro walked
up to the post office window yesterday and
asked for a money order application. It was
given him. and he drew up the paper for ten
dollais and handed it back to the clerk, who
proceeded to draw the order. The order iieing
drawn the clerk handed it to the darkey and
a-ked for the ten dollars; in response he drew
forth from his pocket an old greasy tiftydollar
Confederate bill and demanded "the change.”
The clerk informed him that under the pres
ent administration he was not aliowed to take
that class of money, and gave it back. The
~k ' rv seemed much surprised, but carefully
folded the bill and put it in bis purse as iie
marched out with a "two for a cent” look
upon his face. ile(*x|K-cts to vote for George

At the Democratic mass meeting held in

THE NEW YORK STRIKE.
Conflicting Statements of Employers as
to tlie Number of Men Kngaged in It.
Nkw York, July 22.—As nearly as
could be ascertained from the conflicting
statements made by the employes and em
ployers to-day, there were nearly TOO
bricklayers and 1,100 laborers on a strike,
The employes, at a meeting to-day, ap
pointed committees to visit all buildiugs
throughout the city on which bricklayers
and laborers are employed, and report
the condition of affairs at a meeting this
evening. The strikers denv that three
fourths of the Master Builders’ Associa
tion have thetr contracts so framed
vvtih architects and owmers. that
their time for completing the work can be
extended the same number of days as tho
strike shail exist. They admit, however,
that a lew members may have such con
tracts. So men have as yet been em
ployed in the places of the strikers.
One of the largest builders in the city
said to-day that tho members are unani
mous on the question of bolding out, and
that as soon as certain buildings arc com
pleted those members who yielded to the
demand for nine hours will join their col
leagues in resisting their employes. He
thought that they could succeed, notwith
standing the acknowledged strength and
wealth of the labor organizations. Many
builders who are not members of the asso
ciation have refused to grant the nine
hours demand.
A STRIKE ORDERED ENDED.
St. Lovis, July 22.—Information from
Belleville, Ills., the centre ot a large coal
mining districts here a considerable num
ber of miners have been on a strike recently
for higher wages, is to the efTeet that
Charles Nesbit, President of the Miners’
Union, has declared the strike off on ac
count of the destitute condition of some
of the miners, and the latter will resume
work at the old price of cents for dig
ging. Several operators have been will
ing to accede to the demands of tho men
lor 2 ceuts, but most of them stood out,
and, as no concert of action could be
agreed upon, there has been quite a dis
turbed state of affairs in the district, and
much distress.
ENABLE TO PAY THEIR HANDS.
Providence, July 22.—A1l depart
ments ot the National Itubber Company,
of Bristol, are shut down this morning.
The company owes its workmen for June
and for as much of July as has passed.
Shipping: Interests Seriously Affected.
Washington, July 22.—Questions are
constantly arising at the Treasury De
partment under the operations of the
Dinghy shippiug bill, and action on them
is delayed because of the absence of the
Commissioner of Navigation. The de
partment has heard nothing from Mr.
Fatten, the gentleman appointed to that
office, and it is not now known whether
or not he intends to assume its
duties. As many of the questions involve
important questions of construction, etc.,
action on them is important, they have
been referred to Mr. Dingley, the author
of the bill, for such suggestions as he may
deem proper. The luisin- ss of the new
division created by this bill is represented
to be most urgent, and the delay conse
quent on the existing state of affairs is
said to be seriously affecting the 6hippiug
interests of the country.
Florida’s Metropolis.
Jacksonville, July 22.—C01. Bisbee
and ex-Scnator Conover have pone to
Tallahassee to manipulate the Republican
State Convention, which meets there

point. It is considered certain that the
convention will indorse the Independent
nomination.

cate of female rights, is dying at her
home at Sewickley, Pa. On Saturday,
July 12, she was taken ill with a com
plaint common to her in summer, and
since then has been growing steadily
weaker, until last night, when she lost
consciousness. Mrs. Swisshelm was born
in this city in 1815, and her yfe has been
a most eventlul one. For forty Tears she
has been a regular contributor for many
leading papers of the country.

one of which would have been fatal. A

New York, July 22. —A meeting of the
Independents opposed to Blaine was held
to-day m the University Club Theatre.
For an hour before the time fixed there
was an unusual stir in that generally
quiet locality, and inside the corridors of
the little theatre a consultation of Inde
pendents was busily carried on. Among
the more prominent faces noticeable were
those of George William Curtis and Carl
Schurz. The latter was the centre of an
interested and animated group. Clarence
Bowen, of the Independent, and
other of the seceding members
of the Brooklyn Y'oung Republican
Club were present. The Secretaries
made up a list ot those who were to be
present, which showed that Massachu
setts was more numerously represented
than any other State except New York.
A few from New Jersey and Connecticut,
and some from more distant States were
on the roll. Admission to the hall was by
ticket, but any one signing the following
formula, which was furnished on a printed
slip to each applicant, was given a card
of admission without further question:
“Disapproving of the nomination made by
the : Republican National Convention at
Chicago as unworthy of support, aud be
lieving that the interests of good govern
ment and ol' public morals demand
the defeat of the Republican candidates
for President and Vice President, and be
ing therefore resolved not to vote for
Blaine and Logan, I desire to take part
with other Republican and Independent
voters In the conference to be held at the
University Club Theatre,on Madison ave
nue and Twentv-sixtb street. New York,
Tuesday, July 22, at 11 a. m.”
THE MASSACHUSETTS DELEGATES.
Among the Massachusetts delegates
were the following: From Boston. George
W. Hale, F. C. Lowell and J. B. Gardner:
from Cambridge, Jabez Fox, George W.
Wright, F. V. B. Kerr. Col. T. W. Higgin
son, A. M. Howe and J. B. Thayer; from
Concord, Samuel Hoar, Arthur J. Fuller
and Messrs. Chapman and Hudson; from
Fall River, S. Borden; from New Bedford.

J- Stimson; from Lexington. Cornelius
Wellington and C. S. Osgood. There were
also delegates from New Haven, New
Jersev. Rhode Island and Pennsvlva
nia. The hall was well filled when
the meeting was called to order.
The National Temperance Society
circulated a memorial in the conference
asking it to take cognizance of the alco
holic liquor traffic, and requesting that
it would not indorse the “saloon plank”
of the Democratic platform which says:
“Wo are opposed tc sumptuary laws
which vex citizens and interfere with in
dividual liberty.”
Among other prominent persons pres
ent were Benjamin H. Bristow, W. C.
Beecher and Francis C. Barlow. The
members of ti e Independent Executive
Committee, of Massachusetts, were all
present. They are: Charles R. Codman,
President; Moses Williams, Secretary;
and Pbineas Pearce, Winslow Warren,
George Frederick Williams aud Mansfield
Strong.
CURTIS CHEERED.
The appearance of George William Cur
tis on the platform elicited cheers and
applause. Mr. Curtis called the meeting
to order near noon, and welcomed the
delegates. He read the eall for the con
ference, and when he reached that portion
of it which related to Republicans "who
will not vote for Blaine and Logan,” he
was interrupted by heartv applause.
Charles K. Codman was elected Presi
dent.
The list of Vice Presidents and enroll
ment committee was read, including Carl
Scburz, Gen. Barlow aiul C. J. Bonaparte,
of Maryland.
The nominees were all elected.
Col. Codman made an address, in which
he said:
You confer great honor on me in choosing
me to preside over the deliberations of not a
body of officeholders, but of citizens, xvliosc
only desire is for the good of the whole coun
try. We have decided to cast aside party
affiliations for the time being. The nomina
tion of the Republican party for the Presi
dency is an iusuit to American manhood.
BLAINE’S BAD RECORD.
Blame has not cleared his record from the
charges that lie used his public office for pri
vate gain, amt we fear that he xvill continue
liis u-ual method; ttiat he will prove no dead
head in any enterprise he may embark in. We
make no charges against his private charac,-
ter, bnt Blaine is not fit to be President of the
United States. There is no great issue clear
ly defined between the two parlies, so that we
have to confine ourselves to the question of
the fitness of the candidates. We shall not
give up our right to condemn and
denounce lawlessness and oppression
in the South more than our right to condemn
political dishonesty in the North. We shall
exercise both of these rights. We shall not
support Blaine, nor shall we support any of
the many who justify the Copiali murder—if
indeed such a man can lie found for wdioin any
one would ask the suffrages of the people.
We respect tho convictions of others; but for
ourselves wc say that it is just as impossible
for us to support Blaine as it is to lie or steal.
ASSEMBLED FOR BUSINESS.
We are assembled to-day to confer together
ami to consider what practical action u e shall
take. We have one purpose in view, and as
reasonable men we desire to act together; bnt
we shall cot, 1 think, make any attempt to
demand pledges or to bind consciences. What
ever is done here—a man is free to follow his
own course—no pledges will be asked, and
certainly none will be given. For myself Ido
not hesitate to say that the defeat of Blaine •
should be compassed by all honorable means.
It seems to me that the cause of good govern
ment. of cure p. lilies,of Aniericar. character,
requires it to be done. There is but one way
to do it, and that wav must be obvious to ns
all. We desire first of all a President that is
incorruptible, and if, beside that, he is able
nud independent, so much the better. We
hax - e nol far to go to And a man who is all
this. It has been said recently by some ot the
supporters of Blaine that no" Democratic
President was ever able to resist the pressure
of the party managers.
CLEVELAND ABOVE CRITICISM.
It may, perhap*, be true, and possibly some
Republican Presidents have been open" to the
same criticism, but there is certainly one
Democratic official who has shown his ability
to successfully resist ail pressure that would
interfere with a faithful performance of ofti
eial duty, and he is non Governor of New
York, and the Democratic candidate for Pres
ident of the United States.
When Mr. Codman had concluded, Mr.
Schurz moved that a committee be ap
pointed to act upon the resolutions and
addresses. This was carried.
Mr. Curtis read the communication
from the National Temperance Society,
referred to above, and it was referred to
the Committee on Resolutions.
Horace E. Deming, of Brooklyn, said lie
believed that this conference would leave
behind it some work that would show that
it intended to do some fighting during
this campaign, ne moved that a com
mittee be appointed to report a plan of
permanent organization. This was car
ried and the committee was appointed,
with Mr. Deming as Chairman. The com
mittee retired for consultation.
LYMAN’S TRUST IN CLEVELAND.
Col. Theodore Lyman, of Brookline,
Mass., made an addaess. He said:
I have no objection to Dartiee. It is a
dangerous thing to lie an Independent for sev
eral reasons. There is even the risk of be
ing calico a “crank.” But we can only go so
far with a party. When a party oversteps the
bounds of decency it is our duty to leave it.
When a party fails to fulfill its mission it will
die. Wo want an honorable and able man
for President, and I believe that Gov. Cleve
land is such a man.
Thos. R. Bacon, of New Haven, said:
The independent movement has grown to
enormous strength. It has twice defeated
Blaine’s Presidential aspirations within the
partv. We are told that Blaine was nomina
ted bv wire-pulling, or the machine, and we
fear that that is true; ana If the Republican
partv has reached the point xvhen it takes a
man'of such damaged reputation as Blaine, it
is time for somebouy to bolt.
Col. T. W. Higginson, of Cambridge,
Mass., said that he had never seen a more
gratifying assemblage. It reminded him
of gatherings that took place in the times
of the anti-slavery agitation. That move
ment was successful, and he believed that
this would be. Continuing, he said:
I have severed all allegiance for the time
being to the party to which I have belonged
since its birth. If at the end of ten years I
find mvself the humblest member of anew
party I shall accept it as inevitable. I think
that bolting is a good thing sometimes.
The speaker declared that the weakest
part of the enemy was Blaine and the
strongest force of his own army was
Cleveland.
As the Committee on Resolutions was
not ready to report a recess was taken.
THE MOVEMENT WIDESPREAD.
When the conference reassembled, the
Secretary made a statement in regard to
letters received by the New York commit-
SAVANNAH, WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1884.
tee from citizens in various cities, from
Maine to California, showing an extraor
dinary number of signers to the declara
tion of Independence.
Mr. Quiroby, of New Jersey, said that
to save the Republican party Blaine must
be beaten, and that for every Democrat in
New Jersey who would vote for Blaine
there were five Republicans who would
vote for Cleveland.
J. F. Claflin, of Illinois, said that there
was a strong Cleveland element among
the Republicans in the West.
President Seeley, of Amherst, also made
an address, in which he said that he was
not prepared to join the Democrats, but
was in favor of choosing a separate can
didate. He also made a plea lor temper
ance principles.
THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
The Committee on Permanent Organi
zation recommended that a national com
mittee be appointed, and the Chair ap
pointed the following: From New Y'ork,
Carl Schurz, Theodore Bacon, John H.
Cowing, Charles P. Miller, R. R. Bowker,
George W. Folsom, Ethan Al
len Doty, George Walton Greene
and Horace E. Deming; from
Massachusetts, William H. Forbes,
Joseph Tucker, Joseph H. Walker. Samuel
Hoar. Pbineas Pearce, George V. Everett
and Winslow Warren; from Connecticut,
Simon E. Baldwin, 0. P. Armstrong and
H. W. Farnham; from New Jersey,
Daniel Drake Smith, Simeon Huntington
and W. G. Peekham; from Pensyivania,
Stuart Wood and Joseph Parrish. Chair
man Codman and George Claflin, of Illi
nois, were added to the eommittee.
Then Carl Sehurz, in behalf of the Com
mittee on Resolutions, said .that there was
no intention to make a platform for anew
party, but only appeal for honest govern
ment.
George Wm. Curtis read the address,
which is of considerable length. Mr.
Curtis was frequently interrupted by ap
plause, and when he had finished the reso
lutions were adopted without dissent.
THE PLATFORM.
The following is the platform of the In
dependent Republican party:
The paramount issue of the Presidential
election of this year is moral rather than po
litical. It concerns tlie national honor and
character and honesty of administration
rather than general policies of the govern
ment, upon which the platforms of the two
parties do not essentially differ. No position
taken by one platform is seriously traversed
by the other. Both evidently contemplate a
general agreement of public opinion on
sujeets which have been long in controversy,
and indicate an unwillingness toJdec!are,np6n
other and cardinal questions, views which, in
the present condition of opinion, might seri
ously disturb tlie parties within themselves.
Parties indeed now cohere mainly by habit
and tradition, and since the great issues
which have divided them have been settled
tile most vital political activity lias been the
endeavor of good citizens in both parties to
adjust them to living issues and make them
effective agencies of political progress and
reform. The iudespensablo necessity of this
course has long been apparent, for in a time
of profound ]>e:ice at home and abroad tlie
most threatening national perilis an insidious
political corruption, mercenary and de
moralizing in spirit and tendency.
HOAR'S TAT DESCRIPTION.
The result of what is well described by Sen
ator Hoar, of Massachusetts, as "the shame
less doctrine that the true way by which
power should be gained in the Republic is to
bribe the people with the offices created for
their service, and tlie true end for which it
should be used, when gained, is the promo
tion of selfish ambition and tlie gratification
of personal revenge.” But tliis doctrine lias
produced results which are still more alarm
ing. A corrupt spirit and tendency lias so
rapidly developed that tliev seek po
litical power not only *to gratify
ambition and revenge, bnt to promote private
gain. They deride appeals to tlie public con
science, defend the soiled reputations of pub
lic men by a bold assertion that all public men
are equally guilty, declare that success in ob
taining eminent position disposes of every im
putation and suspicion of wrong-doing’and,
despising all practical measures to reform the
system of official patronage which fosters dis
honest politics, makes a great party nominally
responsible for prolonged and " monstrous
frauds, and proclaims that it is tlie duty
of every citizen who for great and beneficent
ends lias habitually supported ihc party to
regard the success of the party at au election,
without regard to tho characters of those
whom it selects as its executive agents, to be a
supreme national nece-sity.
A FATAL TENDENCY.
A tendency more falal to the country’s wel
fare cau’t be conceived, and when by public
indifference or. misunderstanding this cqrrupt
spirit is aide to demand that t* e country shall
approve, it by according to it the highest "bom r
in its gift, every patriotic citizen must per
ceive that no duty could be more pressing, vi
tal ami imperative, than that of baffling and
defeating this demand. If the Republican
C onvention had presented a candidate whose
character and career were pledges of a reso
lute contest with tlie tendencies that we have
described, if they had foretold stern dealing
with political corruption and vigorous cor
rection of tlie vast abuses which a long and
undisturbed term of power by any
party is sure to breed. if
the success of the candidate had
promised inflexible honesty or adminis
tration, purification of the government and
the elevation of the party standard, every
Republican voter would "have gladly sup
ported the nomination; but these are pre
cisely anticipations which the nomination
forbids.
BLAINE ABSOLUTELY UNFIT.
It offers a candidate who is an unlit leader,
shown by his own words and his acknowledged
acts, which are on official record, to
bo unworthy of respect and confi
dence; who has traded upon his
official trust for his pecuniary gain;
a representative of men, methods and con
duct which the public conscience condemns,
and winch illustrate the very evils which
honest men would reform. Such a nomina
tion does not promise in the executive chair
inflexible official integrity, calm and wise
judgment, sole regard for the public welfare
and au unshrinking determination to promote
reform in the civil service, and ceaselessly to
pursue and punish public robbers of every
kiud and degree. The Independent voters
have generally snpported the Re
publican nominations as more surely
promising reform than those of the Democratic
party. The Independents, however, ca tins t
support a nomination which is tlie culmina
tion of a tendency they would correct. The
Republicans cannot hope that under such
leadership as we have mentioned the abuses
of tlie past can be corrected, or the party re
formed. We are very proud of the great
record and services of the Republican party,
but not with our consent or connivance shall
the record be disgraced.
DANGER OF DKSPOTIBM.
Every party must lie consistent
ly renewed by the intelligent in
dependence of its own members, or it will
sink from an agency to secure good govern
ment into a remorseless despotism. The Re
publican party first sprang from a moral sen
timent. It was the party of political morality
and personal liberty. It appealed directly to
the conscience of the citizen, but, like all par
ties, it was a political agency, unt to be wor
shiped, but to be carefully held to the
spirit and purposes on which and
for which it was organized.
“1 do not know,” said Mr. Seward 30 years
ago, when he left the Whig party to join the
Republicans; “I do not know that it will
always, or even long, preserve its courage, its
moderation, and its consistency. If it shall
do so, it will secure and save the country. If
it. too, shall become unfaithful, as all pre
ceding parties have dune, it will, without
sorrow and regret on my part, perish as they
are perishing, and will give place to
another truer one. This reasoning must not
be forgotten. It is with a profound convic
tion of its wisdom that Republicans, faithful
to their party, but holding with the great Re
publican fathers that political morality and
purity of administration are more precious
than "tlie party, are more constrained to op
pose the Republican Presidential nomination
in tho interest of what they believe to be
pure Republicanism, of the publ c welfare
and of tlie honor of the American name.
OFFICIAL HONESTY AT STAKE.
The Republican nomination has for the time
superseded all other issues, by raising tlie
question of official honesty. This question
can’t be avoided except upon the plea that the
official character of the candidate need not lie
considered, and that in order to secure the
party the present members of the party ought
to vote for any candidate who lias been regu
larly nominated. Th's is a plea beyond which
party madness cannot go. Acquiescence in it
would require tlie surrender of the sclf
respect of every voter. There could
be no candidate so unfit that this
plea would not demand his support, and Re
publican success justified by an argument
which defies public conscience, would be the
overthrow of the vital principles of the party,
and show that the spirit and character which
created iis great traditions are rapidly per
ishing.
THE REAL IBSCE OF THE CAMPAIGN.
. Upon the practical questions of the tariff
and finance, and other questions upon which
both parties are divided wiihin themselves,
we also are divided in opinion. We shall
vote, therefore, in the choice of Representa
tives and other officers according to our indi
vidual opinions of their political views and
their personal character. Divided on other
questions we are united in the convic
tion that the foundation of the office
and the holder should be pure, and
that the highest office in the country
should be filled by a man of absolutely un
suspected integrity. As there is no distinctive
issue upon public policy presented for the
eonsiderat-on of the country, the character of
the candidates becomes of the hit best import
ance to all citizens who do not hold that party
Tictory should be secured at any cost.
While the Republican nomination presents a
party whom we cannot support, the Demo
cratic party presents one whose name is the
synonym of courage and honesty, and of ad
ministrative political reform. He has dis
charged everylofficial trust with sole regard to
the public welf are and with jnst disregard of
mere partisan and political advantage which:
with the applause and confidence of both
parties, have raised him from the chief execu
tive administration of a great city to that of a
great State.
GUARANTEES OF REFORM.
His unreserved, intelligent and sincere sup
port of reform in the civil service has firmly
established that reform in the State and cities
of New York, and his personal convictions,
proved by his official acts, more decisive than
any possible platform declarations, are a
guarantee that in its spirit and in its letter
reform would be enforced in the national
administration. His high of duty, his
absolute and unchallenged official integrity,
bis inflexible courage in resisting party pres
sure and public outcry, bis great experience
in the details of administration, amt his com
manding executive ability and independence
are precisely the qualities which the political
situation demands in the chief executive offi
cer of the government, to resist corporate mo
nopoly on the one hand, demagogue commun
ism ou tlie other, and at home and abroad,
without menace or fear, to protect everv right
of American citizens, and to respect" everv
right of friendlv States bv making political
morality and private honesty the basis of con
stitutional administration.
CLEVELAND THE MAN FOR THE HOUR.
He is a Democrat who is happily free from
all associations with the fierce party uiffer
ences of the slavery contest and whose finan
cial views are in harmony with those of the
best men in both parties, and coming into
public prominence at a time when official
purity, courage and character are of chief im
portance. lie presents the qualities and
promise which the independent voters de
sire and which the great body of Repub
licans, believing those qualities" to be abso
lutely indispensable in the administration of
government at this time, do not find in the
candidate of their own party. Such indepen
dent voters do not propose to ally themselves
inextricably with any party. Such Republi
cans do not propoec to abandon the Republi
can party nor to merge themselves in any
other party.
BOUND Tff DEFEAT BLAINE.
But they do propose to aid in defeating the
Republican nomination,which, not for reasons
of expediency only, but for high moral and
patriotic considerations.with a due regard for
the Republican name and for the American
character, was unfit to be made. Tliev desire
not tp evade the proper responsibility of
American citizens by declining to vote," and
they desire also to make their votes as effec
tive as possible for an honest, and pure, and
wise administration. How can such voters,
who, at this election, cannot conscientious
ly support the Republican candidate,
promote the objects which they
desire to accomplish more surely
than by supporting the candidate who repre
sents the quality, spirit and purpose which
they all agree in believing to be of controlling
importance in this election? No ritizen can
rigntfulli- avoid ttic issue or refuse to cast
bis vote. The ballot is a trust. Every voter
is a trustee for good government, liound to
answer to his private conscience for his public
acts. This conference, therefore, assuming
that the Republican and independent voters
who for any reason cannot sustain tlie
Republican nomination desire to take
cause which under the neces
sary conditions and constitutional
methods of Presidential elections will most
readily and surely secure the result at which
they aim, respectfully recommends to all such
ciiizeus to support electors who will vote for
Groycr Cleveland, in order most effectually
to enforce their conviction that nothing could
more deeply stain the American nanie aud
prove more disastrous to the public welfare
than tlie deliberate indifference of the
people of tlie United States to increas
ing public corruption and wautof official in
tegrity in the highest trusts of tlie govern
ment.
Mr. Williams, of Massachusetts, in a
few remarks, criticised the action of Gov.
Long, of Massachusetts, and Theodore
Roosevelt, of New York, in indorsing
Blaine alter having denounced him in the
convention, and he denounced the rule of
the convention which compelled delegates
to stand by the choice of the party.
NO TICKET FORMALLY INDORSED.
Mr. Everett, of Quincy, Mass., offered a
resolution naming Cleveland and Hen
dricks as the nominees of the conference.
It was laid on tho table, and soon after
the conference adjourned.
After the adjournment of the confer
ence the National Committee went into
session, and discussed a plan for a perma
nent organization, but no definite action
was taken, and the matter was referred to
a sub-committee, consisting of Messrs.
Deming and Miller, of New Y r ork, and
l’earce, of Massachusetts, to report a
plan. It was also decided to have an
Executive Committee of ten, who shall
haye power to increase their number.
They will be appointed ln a day or two.
Reports from general committees in
various States were received, and it was
thought that the most efficient work
could bo done in New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut and Massachusetts, and
strong efforts will be made to defeat Blaine
in those States. The sentiments expressed
show that a majority of the members are
in favor of conducting the campaign in an
independent manner, with, perhaps, con
ferences with the Democrats to avoid pos
sible collisions.
NO POIsITICAIi MJTCMINK.
A Civil Service Commissioner Defends
tlie Committee Against a Serious
Charge.
Washington, July 22.—A Democratic
statesman being interviewed to-day said:
“Just at this critical moment, when
Blaine is looking towards the South to
make up for any Josses sustained through
the action of the Independent bolters, the
Civil Service Commission announces that
much of the patronage cieated by the
past session of Congress must go to the
Southern States, it being now their turn
for recognition under the law. Mind; I
do not mean that the commissioners in
tentionally arranged it so as to have the
appointments go to the South at this
particular time. It is rather the
result of circumstances, but it
will have an effect upon
the election all the same. The Democrats
acted unwisely in creating so much
patronage when, they know that its use
would effect political ends. They knew
that the Civil Service Commission would
have to distribute the appointments
through the South if they complied with
the law,and it would have some effect upon
the election, yet they created more new
government positions than has any Con
gress since 1860, except in the extraordi
nary case ot the establishment of the new
pension office. Of course the examina
tions will be fairly conducted. As the
Democrats in the South are, as a rule,
better educated than the Republicans in
the same section, the appointments will
go largely to our party. This renders the
situation still more dangerous, for as soon
as the appointments are all made the
stump speakers will ge to North Carolina,
Tennessee, Florida and Louisiana and
argue the fairness of the Republican
party, calling upon their civil service ex
perience to bear them out. and then say:
“Gentlemen, to vote the Democratic party
in, is to vote this noble reform out.” By
this means they have a chance to
carry two or three Southern States.
They are now laying the foundation for
this work by creating the impression, and
making it widespread, that the Demo
crats, and particularly Hendricks, are
openly declaring that the civil service
law will not be regarded if they are suc
cessful. This will be a great issue in the
campaign. Wait and see.”
COMMISSIONER EATON PUTS IN A DE
NIAL.
The attention of Commissioner Eaton
having been called to this subject he said
that was no foundation for such a
hope No person, whether an
leader or other citizen, had
tried to influence the commission in re
gard to its relations to appointments at
the South or elsewhere. If such attempts
should be made, w-bich he had not the
least reason to suspect, it would be open
ly resisted and publicly exposed. If 6uch
an attempt should be made it would be
utterly futile. It was not true,
as the article suggests, that appointments
in the South were now, or had lately bpen,
more in arrears than in the North, West
and East. It is not true, as the article
suggests, that more appointments caused
by recent legislation in ratio of popula
tion would go to the South than to the other
sections of the Union. The commission
paid no attention to political opinions or
pending elections, and would continue to
have the same regard to the merits of can
didates and the claims of every State un
der the legal rule. The pending election
has not made, and will not make, the
least difference.
It is impossible for such use of the pa
tronage to be made as the article sug
gests without the Commissioners know
ing of and being disgraced by it. He was
sure that no Commissioner would plead
either ignorance or innocence if such an
abuse should happen. He ventured to
declare, without qualification, that noth
ing ot the kind can happen, and certainly
it has not in the least degree happened.
Gorman Ont of the Race.
Washington, July 22.—Senator Gor
man, of Maryland, has withdrawn from
the contest for the Chairmanship of the
Democratic National Committee. He says
that he has enough to do as Chairman of
the Congressional Committee. This nar
rows the contest down to Wallace and
Barnum, with the chances in favor of the
latter. •
Deft in Teller’s Hands.
Washington, July 22.—The President
left the matter ol the Commissionershlp of
the new Labor Statistics Bureau to Secre
tary Teller to-day, preparatory to leaving
to-morrow for New York. It is now be
lieved that a Western man will get the
position.
Lynch Nominated for Congress.
New Orleans, July 22.— A special

was harmonious.”
DEATH IN ATLANTA GAS.
THREE LIVES LOST IN A TER
RIFIC EXPLOSION.
A Decatur Street Store Completely
Wrecked* and People and Debris
Hurled in £very Direction—Reunion
of the Forty-Second Regiment and
Other State Capital Newt.
Atlanta, July 22*— A terrible gas ex
plosion-occurred this afternoon in the
store of Charles M. Barry at No. 170 De
catur street, resulting in the kill
iliing of two persons and wound
ing seven others. Several work
men were engaged running gas
pipes into Barry’s grocery store, and
while making a connection a large quan
tity of gas escaped from a pipe under the
floor of the building. With a view of ex
amining some portion of the work that
demanded their attention, one of the
workmen struck a match. Instantly an
explosion took place. The men were
hurled into the street and the store was
torn to pieces.
TWO FATALITIES.
William Madison, one of the negro
workmen, was so badly injured that he
died while being taken home.
His assistant, named Carrington, wa9
picked up, terribly mangled, with a large
hole in his head, which was thought to be
of a fatal character.
A negro woman named Anna Gates,
who was in the store at the time, was
thrown violently against the counter and
killed instantly.
When Mr. Barry, the "proprietor, was
found he was seen on an upper shelf,
wedged in between the rafters. It was
found necessarv to raise the timbers of the
roof up before he could be taken out. Upon
examining bis condition it was found that
one of his legs was broken, and that he
was badly injured internally.
TWO LADIES INJURED.
Mrs. Barry, his wife, and Miss Marv
Barry, his daughter, who were in the resi
dence adjoining, were also badly injured
by blows from flying timbers and brick
bats.
Mrs. J. A. Grace, residing on Gartrell
street, barely escaped being killed by fall
ing timbers. She was struck on the"head
and in the face with bricks and pieces of
wood, and while rushing out of a front
door a wooden shed over the entrance
tell upon her, throwing her to the side
walk. Her life was saved by the prompt
action of peopl# in the vicinity.
A FEARFUL PICTURE.
The scene ot the explosion presents a
ferlful picture. The store is torn literally
to pieces. The rafters from the roof hang
downward. The roof has fallen in and
is resting upon them while goods lay
scattered in every direction. The floor is
torn up, and in short the whole structure
is demolished. The residence ot Mr.
Barry is alse in part badly wrecked.
Timbers and brick were hurled through
windows, breaking out glass and demol
ishing furniture within. Mrs. Barry and
her daughter were knocked down by some
of the flying timbers, and for a time both
of them were thought to be seriously in
jured.
The dead and wounded are being well
cared for.
Carrington is reported to be dying at a
late hour to-nigbt.
REUNION OF THE FORTY-SECOND REGI-
MENT.
The reunion of the Forty-second
Georgia Regiment, which took place
to-day at I’once de Leon Springs,
was largely attended. Fully 400 vete
rans, accompanied by their wives and
daughters, were present, as was also a
large crowd from the city. At 9 o’clock
the Forty-second Regiment assembled at
the court house, and from there marched
to the springs. An address of welcome
was made by Mayor Goodwin and a re
sponse by Judge Lowndes, of Calhoun.
Their efforts were followed bv others
from Col. William 11. Hulsey, Gen. Hen
derson, Gov. McDaniel and Senator Col
quitt. The dinner hour having arrived,
the survivors with their friends partook
of an excellent barbecue, prepared by
Thompson. Dinner over a number of
speeches were delivered by members of
the command, and at the close of the day
the regiment, under escort of the Govern
or's Horse Guard, returned to the city.
The Forty-second figured conspicuously

JULY’S WIND AND HAIL.
Great Destruction to Crops and Build
incs in Dakota.
Sioux Falls, Dak., July 22.—Yesterday
afternoon a destructive wind, rain and hail
stoi m visited southern and east Dakota.
At Carthage, near Iroquois, a strip five
miles wide was cut by the hail. In Dell
Rapids, twenty miles north of here, great
destruction ensued. The lower portion of
Crossman Bros.’ store spread and let the
top story, occupied as an Odd Fellows’
hall, telescope down into it. Other stores
were damaged. Two warehouses near the
depot w r ere blown down.
The Congregational Church and school
house were demolished. The spire of the
Presbyterian Church was blown off. A
lumber-yard was wrecked and a number
of dwellings destroyed. Crops were badly
cut by hail, and telegraph lines were
prostrated.
At a town fourteen miles north a store
was blown down and goods were scat
tered over the prairie. At Sioux Falls
there was no hail, but the wind did much
damage. Of the crops, corn suffered the
most, the loss being estimated at 9 per cent.
At Valley Springs a flax mill was de
stroyed and also a roller skating rink. A
school house was unroofed, and the fronts
of several business places were blown in.
Fifteen structures were destroyed, but
not one dwelling, though many of those
were somewhat damaged. Lumber stacks
were scattered in all directions. Two
miles north of here a house and barn were
blown down and two children injured,
though not dangerously.
At Beaver Creek, Minn., some damage
was done to grain, houses, bams, and
wind mills. A Norwegian church 10
miles south of there was blown down. A
man and a boy were injured.
An Engineer in Danger of Lynching.
Huntington, Pa., July 22.—A girl
named Boyce, aged 14 years, was run over
and killed to-day on a bridge at Saxton,
by a passenger train on the Huntington
and Broadtop Railroad. Citizens of Sax
ton became enraged at engineer William
Grow, and a mob collected at the depot
for the avowed purpose of lynching him.
Grow, however, hearing of his danger, left
Mb engine in charge of another person and
escaped.
Earthquake Shock*.
St. Kitts, July 14.—Sharp shocks of
earthquake were felt here to-day, but no
damage was done.

London, July 22.— The loss from the
great fire Saturday at Crane wharf, Wap
ping, a part ot London, it 19 now believed,
will reach $2,500,000. Among the mer
chandise consumed were 9,000 bales of
wool, valued at $800,000; 200 tons of coffee,
valued at $850,000, and 1,000 tons of pepper,
a third of the entire stock in London,
valued at $325,000. Besides this 1,350 tons
of gum Tapioca, sugar, shellac, seed and
other produce were destroyed.
6,000 ACRES OF GRAIN DESTROYED.
Modesto, Cal., July 22. —A terrible
fire raged Sunday in the southern part of
the San Joaquin Valley. Thousands of
acres of grain were destroyed. The
farmers, after a well organized struggle,
succeeded in checking the flames. The fire
started again yesterday morning in a
wheat field near here and an alarm was
instantly telegraphed and telephoned to
all available points.
Two thousand men from different sec
tions hastened to the rescue. The old
fashioned prairie manner of fightiug fire
with fire was resorted to, and at 3:35
o'clock in the afternoon, after a desperate
struggle, the fire was got under control.
The streets here and at Oakdale are filled
with men with scorched faces and singed
hair. Six thousand acres of grain and
several large dwellings were destroyed.
The loss is estimated at $150,000.
GUANO works BURNED.
Baltimore, July 22.—The works of the
Zell Guano Company at Locust Point,
with their contents, were destroyed bv
fire this afternoon, causing damage now
estimated at $200,000. The building was
of wood, and a strong south wind caused
the fire to spread so rapidly that the efforts
of the entira lire department could not
check it. The factory included a sul
phuric acid department with lead cham
bers of large capacity. When the roof
fell there were seven members of engine
company No. 12 on it, but all escaped
without serious injury. Included in the
stock was a large quantity of sulphur,
the fumes from which nearly suffocated
the firemen. The insurance is $85,000,
placed principally In companies out of
Baltimore.
A BLOCK FACTORY BURNED.
Gloucester, Mass., July 22.— Fire
broke out this morning in Harvey A
Farr’s block factory, which spread "rai>-
idly and caused a loss of from $50,000 to
$75,000 before it was controlled. The loss
is divided among a great number of firms
ami individuals, to the most of whom it
represents their entire property.
PROHIBITION IN POLITICS.
Delegates to the National Convention at
Pittsburg Hard at Work.
Pittsburg, July 22.—The delegates to
the National Prohibition Convention are
arriving on every train and a considerable
amount of enthusiasm is manifested
among them, ns well as the local friends
of the movement. Dr. McDonald, of Cali
fornia, seems to bo in the lead for the
Presidential nomination, but the ad
herents of G. T. Stewart, of Ohio,
and ex-Gov. St. John are working
hard for them. John B. Finch, of Ne
braska, is the "nly one mentioned as tem
porary Chairman, and no one is named
for permanent Chairman except Miss
Frances Willard, who may not be able to
attend. The main feature of the platform
will be prohibition and home protection.
The resolutions will also favor civil ser
vice reform; will oppose all mouopoliesand
special privileges; will declare in favor of
reserving public lands for actual sellers;
will denounce stock and grain specula
tion', and take high grounds in all ques
tions of moral reform; will favor female
suffrage and denounce polygamy. The
delegates claim that the party can poll
from 500,000 to 1,000,000 votes.
DUDLEY PUTS HIS FOOT IN IT.
Washington, July 22.—The course of
Commissioner of Pensions Dudley, in at
tempting to induce the Prohibitionists at
Pittsburg to-day not to nominate a Pro
hibition ticket, but to indorse Blaine and
Logan, is regarded by politicians here as
fatuous. Commissioner Dudley recently
made a visit to Blaine at Augusta. It is
probable that Blaine then commended
Dudley’s idea that the Prohibitionists
should be induced not to nominate a sepa
rate ticket, and, if possible, indorse
Blaine and Logan, but it is not
believed that Blaine gave his ap
proval to any such clumsy plan as that
adopted by Commissioner Dudley. Dud
ley was over anxious, and; therefore,
over-zealous. He might have arranged
with some of the delegates to .the con
vention, before they they got to Pittsburg,
to work up a Blaine boom in the conven
tion. Instead of this, be hazarded every
thing upon au attempt by himself to force
his release upon the convention. Dudley
feels so anxious about it because the Re
publicans of Indiana feel that if the Pro
hibitionists nominate a national ticket,
their last claim of carrying Indiana will
be swept away. A similar apprehension,
more or less serious, agitates the Repub
licans in all the Western States where the
Prohibition movement hasmadeany im
pression.
LIEUT. GREELY AND HIS MEN.
The Survivors Rapidly Regaining Their
Old-Time Health and Strength.
Washington, July 22.—Rear Admiral
Nichols, Acting Secretary of the Navy,
has received the following telegram from
Commander Schley, dated at St. John, N.
F., July 21: “The Surgeon controls all
matters affecting diet and diversion of
Lieut. Greely and his party. Acting
under his advice Lieut. Greely and his men
only leave the ship when he prescribes it.
The men are always required to be on
board at 8 o’clock at night. Lieut.
Greely is spending a day or two in the
quiet enjoyment of Consul Muller’s house,
under the surgeon’s counsel. All of the
party are well and gaining strength.
Lieut. Greelv has never compdained of
intrusion. The surgeons are especially
careful and attentive to everything
touching their health.”
THE DESTINATION UNCHANGED.
An effort was made by Gen. Hazen to
have the Greely party'brought to Bos
ton instead of Portsmouth, N. H., as had
been decided upon, on the ground that it
would be more agreeable to the members
of the party, and more convenient to their
relatives and iriends to welcome them.
The proposition was laid before Rear Ad
miral Nichols and Secretary Lincoln,
who decided that there was not
sufficient reason for changing
the destination. They will therefore pro
ceed direct to Portsmouth, according to
the orders to Commander Schley. Secre
tary Lincoln had a conference with Gen.
Hazen this morning as to the disposition
of the bodies of the dead of the expedition.
It is probable that they will he taken to
Governor’s Island, N. Y., and placed in
charge of Maj. Gen. Hancock until a de
cision Fhall be reached as to their final
disposition.

marches in the desert.
Wady Halfa, July 22.—Messengers
arriving here from the oasis of Wall El
Khatjeh report that Col. Colville and Mai.
Wort ley with their Bedouin force had
arrived at Berio from Assiout, which is
200 miles distant. Their horses were in
good condition notwithstanding the great
heat which they had been obliged to en
dure. Col. Colville hoped to proceed
southward to Selimah July 16. Selimah
is nine days’ journey from "Kbarieh. The
route lies through the very heart of the
desert and there is no water
fit to drink along the way. Col. Colville’s
intention was to take 125 men with him
mounted on camels, and also to take a
camel train carrying water sufficient to
supply bis force ten days and food for two
weeks. He expected to direct his line of
march across the desert by means of a
compass, and hoped to strike the Nile
at Arumara, some distance south of
here. The Sbiek of llajeh thought
that a collision with reliels would
be probable at Ammara, but Col.
Colville did not consider that this would
prove of sufficient importance to make it
necessary for him to change his plans.
The messengers said that the inhabitants
of the oasis were friendlv to the English of
ficers and their force. A month ago, how
ever, when Major Whortley’s advance
appeared, 500 of the natives confronted it
and offered feeble resistance, but they
quickly dispersed at the sight of forty
rifles of the guards. Col. Colville ex
pects to reach Selimah July 26, and Wady
Haifa by the beginning of August.

ability to hold Khartoum.
LONDON’S MILES OF MEN.
The Parade the Greatest Seen Since Vic
toria’s ISeign Began.
London, July 22.—The Telegraph says
that the demonstration of the trades
unions and others at Hyde Park yester
day, in favor of the franchise bill, was the
most remarkable and imposing that has
been witnessed during Queen Victoria’s
reign. Over 100,000 men marched in the
procession with a decorum rising to dig
nity. It will not do for the Peers to mock
or undervalue its peaceful, simple
methods, or decry it as a paid show.
The Standard says that the behavior of
the people was admirable, but the demon
stration has not changed the political sit
uation in the slightest degree. The judg
ment of the silent, modest section of the
community will not be affected. The Min
istry should concern themselves with the
sober majority, who stay at home aud
think for themselves, instead of following
brass bands through the streets aud pass
ing resolutions.
The Times this morning, referring to
yesterday, says: “Yesterday’s spectacle
was unique of its kind. It was a demon
stration made for the people by the peo
ple. It gave every sign ol' enthusiasm.”
SALISBURY’S OPPOSITION.
The Marquis of Salisbury, addressing a
Conservative demonstration at Sheffield
to-day, said that it was absurd to suppose
that the members of the House of Lords,
who were mostly landlords, had any
cause to dread the agricultural laborers.
He insisted ou Hie necessity of
appealing to the electors before the
franchise bill was passed, and said
that tbe government insisted on
the irauchise measure in its present shape
because it desires a change of the tribunal
before the matter was brought before the
judgment of the people. Tbe government
was afraid to ask the verdict of public
opinion, where alone a verdict was legiti
mately obtainable, but summoned a pro
cession, imagining that 200,000 Radicals
amusing themselves in London on a given
day expressed public opinion. This at
tempt to legislate by picnic had a danger
ous side. Nothing was more dangerous
for a popularly governed State than an
attempt to decide public policy by de
monstrations in the streets of London.

A STORY OF ALFONSO'S TITLE,
The Curious Revelation of Home His
torical Searches In Family Mysteries.
The revival of the claims of the Naun
dorffs to the title of lineal descendants of
Louis X VI., says Galignani’s (Paris) J/e
-scnrje r, has set historical searches at work
to discover family mysteries In other
reigning houses. The writer ot a letter
from Bayonne in the Fiyaro makes the
revelation that King Alfonso is only a
usurper on the throne of Spain, and that
the real heir to the crown is the son of a
supposed elder sister of Isabella, who was
secretly brought up in France. The story
is based on the idea that the birth of Isa
bella was preceded by that of anqther
Princess, who was declared to have died
when Queen Christine gave a second time
hopeot presenting Ferdinand 11. with a
male heir. That hope was not, however,
realized, and the second daughter, Isabel
la, succeeded to the throne. The first
daughter, says the writer, was brought up
in France by a couple named Morales,"
and was married to a timber merchant of
Bordeaux named Lufargue, * who died
ruined, leaving his widow and a son.
For fifteen years Mine. Lafargue sup
ported herself and her son by keeping a
small wood and coal store at Bayonne,
until she inherited from Mine. Morales,
her adopted mother, a sum of 50,0<)0f. and
some documents revealing the secret of
her birth. She went to Madrid to obtain
a recognition or her rights, but, as might
have been supposed, Queen Isabella was
not disposed to acknowledge the relation
ship, and had her expelled the country as
an impostor. Bo far the storv may be the
creation of the writer’s brain, but he then
enters into more positive matters, which,
if true, it would not be difficult to prove.
In 1875, he says, Dorn Pedro, Emperor of
Brazil, while traveling in Europe, went
to Bayonne under the pretext of visiting
Biarritz, but, in reality, to see Mme.
Lafargue, who was then keeping a mod
est grocer’s shop. lie was presented to
her ljy M. Camille Moliuie, Consul for
Brazil, and embraced her in the presence
of several people, calling her bis “dear
aunt.” He drove her about in bis carriage,
with her son., during the. three days be re
mained at Biarritz: and'two months later
Mme. Lafargue anu the young man took
passage on a steamer for Rio Janeiro.
The son, who is 30 years of age, is now,
save the author of this curious narrative,
a Colonel in the Brazilian army.
