iWeMseating:
The Kentucky Republicans Oust i
Kaufman, a Democrat.
THE DEMOOBATS RETALIATED
Walton anil James, Republican Member,
of the Upper Branch of the General As
sembly, Unseated by the Democrats.
Walton Denounced the Proceedings as
Revolutionary—Stormy Scenes.
Louisville, March 12.—A special to
The Post from Frankfort, Ky., says:
After the house had convened, the clerk
read the refusal of Mr. Dunlap to prose*
i cute his contest against Mr. Kaufman.
At its close Mr. Carroll arose and stated
that the house had no right to refuse
Mr. Dunlap the right to withdraw his
i contest. This, as far as the house is
I concerned, he claimed, settled the mat
j ter entirely. Representative Robbins
(Dem.,) declared that nobody could
1 compel Dunlap to do what he did not
I want to do. The very moment he bo
\ decided, the house had no power to un
seat Mr. Kaufman.
Representative Lyons (Rep.) claimed
that Dunlap had only asked leave to
withdraw his consent. His willingness
to withdraw does not affect the right of
the house to go ahead with the case.
i “There are,” he said, “two distinct
questions involved. One is whether
Kaufman was elected fairly, and tho
other is, was there fraud, and was Dun
lap entitled to the seat.”
He thought the house should, go
ahead with the case.
Representative Force (Dem.) declared
that it was child’s play to argue tho
question of bringing up the case again.
Representative Howard (Rep.) said
that it was a question as to who was the
rightful member from the city of Lex
ington, and ir is left to the house to say
if there had been fraud in that election.
j The speaker said, in deciding the ques
tion, that it was one for the common- (
i wealth to decide. The contest had been ,
conducted legally. All the forms of
law had been observed, and tho chair
holds that it was perfectly competent <
for Dunlap before the case had been (
prosecuted to the end to have abandoned
! the contest, but that he hail no such
right after the case had been tried. Ho ■
cites the case of Callon versus Riardon
as a precedent. i
“I hold,” said ho in conclusion, “that
the house lias power to take a vote on
the Dunlap-Kaufman case and so rule.”
A vote was then . ordered on the mi- <
nority report of the Dunlap-Kaufman i
case to the effect that Dunlap is and 1
Kaufman is not entitled to the seat now
held by Kaul man.
Poor and Edrington, Populists, voted
with the Democrats. The Republicans
voted solidly to unseat, and the minor
ity report was adopted by a vote of 49 ■
to 46. The announcement of the voto
caused much excitement among the
Democrats who had not expected such a 1
result.
On the roll call to adopt the majority
report, the Democrats left tho house to
break a quorum, but did not succeed, as
the Republicans all voted. The major
ity rept rt received 51 votes, the Repub
: licans all voting except one who was
paired.
Speaker Blanford, during some confu
sion, oruCi d the sergeat-at-arms of tho
house to summon a pos& to keep order.
A motion to reconsider a motion to ex
tend tho session of the house after tho
joint assembly was adopted.
Democratic Senators Retaliate.
, As soon as the news of tho house
: reached tho senate, Senator Goebel
jumped up and moved the adoption of
an amendment to rule 85. The motion
was seconded by” Bronston amid the
wildest confusion. The chair refused
to put the motion and kept up a contin
ual and loud rapping of his gavel. Tho
clerk read the amendment. The chair
declared that the proceedings were rev
olutionary and a scene of riot ensued.
Senator Bronston waved his arms trail- <
tically and shouted to the clerk to call
the roll.
Senator Jones moved that tho senate
' adjourn. Amid the wildest excitement
the lieutenant governor put the motion, '
and the Republicans voted aye in a
body. The lieutenant governor declared
the senate adjourned amt together with
the Republicans left the chamber in a
body.
The report of the committee on elec- 1
tions was then read, the roll was called <
and Senators Walton and Janies were
declared ineligible to seats in the senate
by a vote of 21 to 0. [Wild cheers from
Democrats.]
Senator Walton declared that the
proceedings were revolutionary ami that
ho would not submit. Senator Bron
ston denounced him and swore that
neither James nor Walton should ever
get in the joint assembly to vote. Only
prompt interference of friends prevented
a personal difficulty. A crowd was at
the door of the house chamber to pre- 1
vent the entrance of either James or
Walton, and serious trouble seemed un
avoidable.
Many mon are armed, and the slight
est ouburst may precipitate a tragedy.
Dr. Janies succeeded in leaving the
senate chamber before its vote to unseat
him was taken, and entered the house.
: Senator Walton was not so fortunate
I and was refused admittance. On one |
, side of the door leading into the house j
chamber stood the sergeant-at-arms of j
the house, while on tho other stood the
sergeant-at arms of the senate, Jack |
Chinn, Jim Williams and several others. |
The crowd in the corridors and below
in the hallways was greatly excited ami i
hard to restrain.
The Democratic leaders now claim :
that as two senatorshave been unseated '
in the senate and tho hou: e has not yet ,
seated Dunlap that they will elect a sen- .
a tor.
Joint Assembly Convenes.
When the joint assembly convened '
Speaker Bianford issued orders that no :
one other than members or persons en- ,
■ titled to the privilege of the floor of the i
house be admitted.
After much wrangling, tho chair or- '
derod the call of the roll. Tho calling
of tho roil was then begun, after the
lieutenant governor had made a strong
speech, in which ho declared that ho
would at ail times do wiiat was right.
The chief clerk in calling the names
of the members of the senate omitted to
call those of James and Walton, the
two Republican senators who had boon

unseated by the senate majority, a few
minutes before going into joint assem-
I hly.
The clerk of tho house, in calling the
1 roll of the house members omitted to
call the name of Kaufman (Dem.,) who
had been unseated.
The rollcall showed 130 members,
with two pairs. Senator Bronston asked
for the reading of the journals of the
two houses. He made the point that
under the federal statute the journals of
the respective houses should be read,
but agreed that the journal of the joint
assembly bo dispensed with. The clerks
of the houses then read the journals of
their respective houses.
Balloting For Senator Begun.
The ballot for senator was then bo
gun. Senator Elliston voted for Car
lisle, as did Holloway, Foe, Salyer, Ste
venson, Carroll, N. N. Speight, Violet
and Walker. Edrington voted for
Blackburn while Poor refused to vote
at all. P. C. Smith voted for S. B.
Buckner. The names of James, Wal
ton and Kaufman were not called. The
Republicans refused to vote at all with
the object of breaking a quorum.
An exciting scene occurred just before
tho vote was announced. The roll of
absentees was called and Flippen (Rep.),
who had been absent, arose and started
to vote. Speaker Blanford shouted to
him to sit down and not vote, and he
was finally induced to do so. The Dem
ocratic members criticised Speaker
Blanford for doing as he had. He. de
clared ho had a right to do as he had be
cause ho was only a member of the
joint assembly.
The ballot resulted as follows: Black
burn, 54; Carlisle. 10; Buckner, 1. Tho
chair decided that as only 65 votes had
been cast thn; there was no quorum and
therefore no election.
Upon motion, the assembly adjourned
at once, and the exciting events of the
day, w hich are without precedent in
Kentucky or probably iu any other
state, were at an end.
No State Fair This Year.
Macon. March 12. —At the city coun
cil meeting a communication was read
from President John O. Waddell of the
Georgia State Agricultural society, in
which he asked that the city of Macon
consent that the state fair be declared
off this year. There is a contract be
tween the city and the society by which
the state fair is to be heid at Macon
every alternate year. President Wad
dell recites that the results were not
financially satisfactory when the fair
was held in conjunction with the Au
gusta exposition in 1893, and with the
Macon exposition in 1894. He said tho
society has not a dollar in the treasury,
but owes no outside party. He did not
think the finances of the country were
in condition for the successful holding
of a fair this year and desired the con
sent of the city that it be declared off.
The communication was referred to the
finance committee.
Attempt to Rob a Bank.
Dayton, 0., March 12.—News has
just been received here of an attempt to
rob the First National bank, at German
town, this county. The robbers were
evidently green at the business and used
so much giant powder that the bank
was wrecked. The town was aroused
ami the robbers tied. The door of the
vault, weighing 800 pounds, was thrown
30 feet. Tho vault contained $70,000 in
cash and many valuable bonds and other
securities. The greatest mystery is how
the robbers escaped boinfg blown to
pieces, the wreck of the banking room
was so complete.
Six Fillbustcrer* Indicted,
New York, March 12. —General Ca

REPUBLICANS OF OHIO
State Convention at Columbus
Transacts Much Business.
DELEGATES TO ST. LOUIS ELECTED
Bushnell, Foraker, Grosvenor and Hanna
Will Represent the State ut Large and
Are Instructed to Work and Vote For
McKinley For President—The Platform
Adopted.
Columbus, 0., March 12.—Tho Grand
Opera House was unable to give admis
sion to more than half of those holding
tickets and wearing badges with Mc-
Kinley’s picture thereon. Some of the
delegates to the Republican state con
vention, which was to have assembled
at 10 a. m. were crowded out. With a
heavy snow falling, standing room on
the outside was not desirable, and there
| was much complaint about the capacity
j of the hall.
It was 10:15 when Senator-elect Fo-
I raker called the convention to order.
|At that time the stage was crowded
j with Ohio congressmen and other party
leaders. Ex-Secretary Charles Foster
j had a seat near the presiding officer.
After prayer, the committee on creden
• tials reported in favor of seating "the
; committee” delegation from Muskin
gum, as against “the mass convention”
delegation. The report was adopted
with a resolution against county com
mittees assuming the power in the fu
ture of appointing delegates. No other
contests were reported.
Tho temporary organization of the
convention was unanimously made the
permanent organization when Chair-
I man Foraker briefly acknowledged the
double honor and proceeded with busi
| ness. The report of the committee on
rules and order of business changed
some precedents in the order of nomina
tions, and discussion was precipitated
on an amendment to have the nomina
tion for food dairy commissioner come
last on the list. The amendment was
lost and the report adopted.
Congressman J. M. Taylor, chairman
of the committee on resolutions re
ported the platform, which was greeted
with frequent applause and adopted.
It demanded the use of both gold and
silver as standard money, declared for
protection and denounced the present
Democratic administration. /
1 Colonel W. C. Cooper of Mouflt Ver
non, ex-member of congress, was intro
duced after the platform had been read,
and presented, in an eloquent and stir
ring speech, the names of Governor Asa
S. Bushnell, Senator-elect J. B. Foraker,
Congressman C. H. Grosvenor aud Hou.
Mark A. Hanna for delegates at large
i from Ohio to the St. Louis convention.
I He offered the following, which was
adopted:
Resolved, That Asa S- Bushnell. Joseph
B. Foraker, Charles 11. Grosvenor and
Marcus A. Hanna be. aud are hereby
elected delegates at large from the state of
Ohio to the Republican national conven
tion at St. Louis and they are instructed
by the Republicans of Ohio to vote and
work for the nomination of William Mc-
Kinley, Jr., for president of the United
States.
Hon. Robert M. Nevin of Dayton, in
a rousing McKinley speech, presented
the names of Dr. J. E. Lowes of Day
ton, Fieisehtuati of Cin
cinnati, ex-Senator John P. Green of
Cleveland, and Congressman John N.
j Taylor of New Lisbon for alternates at
large. The rules were suspended and
the four were elected by acclamation.
I Congressman Charles H. Grosvenor
1 presented the names of I. F. Mack, ed
itor of the Sanduska Register, and Hon.
Albert C. Douglas, Jr., of Chillicothe,
as candidates for electors at large. The
rules were suspended and they were
nominated by acclamation.
HARD ON GOMEZ.
A Spanish Minßter Says the Cuban Com-
I niander Is Merely an Adventurer.
; New York, March 12.—A dispatch to
The Herald from Madrid says: In an
interview, Senor Francisco Romero Ro
bledo, minister of mercy and justice,
said:
“Gomez was born in San Domingo,
and is nothing more than an adven
■ turer.
: “American intervention in Cuban af
fairs would be resisted to the death by
Spain as contrary to all rights of inter
national law.
“Spain has carried on the warfare by
humane means. The statements about
General Weyler’s cruelty are calumnies
of the most odious description. To say
that he is inhuman is totally false.
Fighting energetically for his country,
he is called inhuman, only because his
energy is in conspicuous contrast to the
I supine attitude of Martinez do Campos.
“Premier Canovas did a wise thing in
dissolving the cortes. If it had been
in session matters might have been pre
cipitated; now all may go well.
“The new cortes will be thoroughly
representative and unanimous upon the
Cuban question.”
Death of a Noted Surgeon.
! Sedalia, Mo., March 12.—Dr. J. A.
V. Small, a noted surgeon, died at bis
home iu this city, aged 75. He was
born in Germany. He served under
Napoleon aud was also a surgeon in the
army during tlie Crimean war. During
the civil war Dr. Small was the medval
director of the Confederacy, his head
quarters being in the Alamo, San An
tonio, Tex. He han been a resident of
Missouri for about 40 years.
A New World's Bicycle Kecord.
■ i San Francisco, March 12.—Five
thousand people witnessed the bicycle
races at Mechanics pavilion hero. J. E.
■ Edwards made a new world’s record for
the indoor mile. He rode the distance,
paced by Egan and Jaegling on a tan-
■ dem, in 2:0B 1-5. In the 10-mile club
cun race Howard Squires of the Acme
club lowered the 10-mile indoor record
j to 24:59.
A Freight Elevator's Fatal Fall.
'. 1 Memphis, March 12.—A freight eleva
i tor in the saddlery and carriage house
‘ of W. S. Bruce & Sous fell 60 feet by
‘ the cables breaking. Four men on it
•, were injured, one fatally. They are:
i Frank Beale, both legs broken, may die;

JUDGE HINES TALKS.
Believes he Proceedings are
Outrageous— Has no Fear of
the Trial.
Sandersville, March, 7.—The
superior court of this county is still
in session, but will adjourn this as
ternoon. Judge Hines, against whom
the grand jury returned an indict
ment Wednesday, has been in at
tendance during all the week. He
will leave for his home in Atlanta
this afternoon.
The serious charge of larceny af
ter trust prefered against him seems
to humiliate him to a great extent,
and it is obvious that it makes him
feel very badly. He has given bond
for his appearance, next term of
court in (September.
Judge Hines seems very anxious
to have a trial of the case during
this term of court and it was sound
ed on docket this merning for the
third time since Thursday. He an
nounced ready hut Solicitor G nera 1
Protein B. T. Rawlings stated that
the state was not ready and could
not go to trial.
Judge Gamble continued the case
for the term and defendant spread
his demand for trial upon minutes
court. If the state s not ready next
time he will be discharged.
Just before he left 1 interviewed
Judge Hines, who made the follow
ing statement:
‘ I am able to demonstrate my in
nccence beyond doubt as soon as in
d'etment was found, the prosecu or,
who is a bitter enemy of mine, left
the county on Tuesday and could
not be gotten back until Friday.
When he returned he was so intoxi
cated that I e could rot be brought
into court. When he returned I
again demanded a trial when th*i
case was continued by the state. I
am safe in saying that all fairminded
men of a'l political opinions regard
my treatment as an outrage. Some
of the grand jurors wished to accord
me the privilege of making a state
ment before them. Had I been per
mitted to make such' a rtatement,
even partisan jurors cou'd have found
no excuse for indicting me. I have
no fears of thn result. A1 I ask is a
trial. Unt 1 then £ wish not to be
prejudged.”
Judge Hines stated that a contin
nance of the grave charge was nofti
ing more than he expected. He
knew that the prosecution would not
give him a trial. The finding of this
indictment has created qu to a sen
sation.— Atlanta Journ L

All the Demands iu Operation iu
the Old Country.
All the demands of the Populist
party are realised and put into prac
tice for many years already in the
monarchial governments of Germany
France. England and Switzerland.
Even more, Wirtem erg, oue of the
German states has sines three years,
a progressive tax oa all the proper y,
no humbug of the single tax of the
J«suit Millionaire, Henry George, in
New York. What is this foolish
talk of striking some of these de
mauds of the present, plitforra off.
Suppose the silver demand is
realized in one day in ihe House and
Senate—does the Populist party
then collapse ?
Maka the sub-treasury demand
more practical like in France, and
build only one national rxi road first,
every year same milts with paper
money and silver—operate this and
have a good obiect lesson first. A
through continental lailroai from
Pniladelphia to the Pacific. The
silver in the treasury would build a
gr od distance.
Our Senators should continually
agitate such a project. Why are
■ they sileni on mai y good objects?

The debtors hive rights as well as

The P ipnlist Senators are hand

put the two old parties on record
and they have the courage to do it.

The Augusta corruptionist?, by
their “hearsay” attacks on the char

The silver Democrats are all at
sea, f r they know that they will be
called on to sacrifice principle on the
altar of party, and they know, tor
that it will cost the agriou tural sec
tions many millions of dollars. Pretty
costly sacrifice, but it must be made
for party’s sake.—Gainesville Out
look.
The Farmer’s Out’ook wisely siy>,
since Congress has overwhelmingly
defeated the silver bill, which re
cently passed the Senate, no one
need expect free c linage until the
People’s par y gains the control of
both branches of Congress and
elects a President.—Crawfordville
Advocate.
Did you ever think what a nice
thing our government was? It fur
nishes thousands of men employment
at sj good salary that could hardly
make a decent living if thrown on
their own resources. But how much
do you get out of it? Are your
rights protected ? Yet the govern
ment is what you have made it by
yonr vote.—Canton Free Press,
Mr. Crisp says free silver is a vital
issue. The gold standard has brought
great distress upon the country, and
he is in thorough sympathy with the
movement, but that if the national
Democratic convention does not
adopt a free silver plank, it is all
right; he will abide the resalt.
Uncle Lon Livingston, the great
yardstick man, says the same tl. ing.
and w.i presume little Charlie Moses
will come in on the me too chorus
afto. For consistency commend ns

I ciaris.—Thomson Enterprise.
The recent vote in congress that
“killed” free silver shows clearly, if
! it shows anything, that the House of
I R'q.resentatives is in favor of a pro
tective tariff, though the very or
■ gans and pluto speakers in the South
i who once said “the tar ff ’is the only
, trouble are glorifying the vote. But
[ no Populist is surprised. We ‘ told
( yon so” a 1 ! the time. There are but
i two parties in the United States.

The bond issue has been a great
suicess for the bankers and specu
lators, but, strange to say, it has
1 done bnt little to restore confidence
’ in business circles. The American
people have faithfully g me through
1 he motions advised by the Repub
5 lioan party as sure to restore confi
dence and bring back prosperity.
They have elected a Rspublioan
Congress, have subscribed liberally
to the bond iisue, and voted down
, fr< e silver, and yet so far business
J conditions have not improved. Is it
' possible that the G. O P is mis
’ taken, and that other remedii-s ar»
r needed?—Clarkston Clarion.
