EX-SENATOR M’DONALD talks
ABOUT POLITICS.
the President’s Administration De
clared a Thoroughly Good One—No
Danger of a Split in the Party in 1888
—The Morrison Bill Met the Views of
the Ex-Senator.
Chicago, July 26. —Ex-Senator Joseph
E. McDonald, of Indiana, was in the city
to-day and was seen by a reporter. He said:
“I am out of politics now, and am only a
private in the ranks. This is an off year in
politics in our State. You see we have
adopted the biennial election law, and we
have absolutely one year in which there is
ao politics whatever.
“About the outlook for 1888, I think that
a majority of the Democratic editors of the
State favor President Cleveland's renonii
aation. He has mode a good record
during his administration. He is a thor
oughly conscientious man, and I don’t think
ho has done a single thing to curry favor
with the public. He docs what he considers
right, let the consequences be what They
may.
THE FLAG INCIDENT.
“Well, about those flags there was a mis
understanding. I don’t believe the Presi
dent ever gave the matter a thought until
the question was raised, and then he
promptly rectified it. He will undoubtedly
be the nominee of the convention. His
nomination and election were experiments
the first time, bnt now they are not. There
can be no split in the party this time.
“As for the tariff, the Ohio resolutions
meet my ideas pretty well. Every one
knows that there is too heavy a surplus in
the Treasury, and it is constantly increas
ing. I believe that the internal revenue
system is nearly right. I would reduce the
tax on tobacco, but would maintain the
tax on beer and liquors. Internal revenue
must lie the basis of our reform policy,
MtU from this our country must receive its
supplies. Custom duties should be taken
off the necessities of life and what is called
raw material.
PROTECTING LABOR.
“Everything that enters into the manu
facture of necessary articles should remain
an the list. I am not a destructive free
trader, I'd have you know. I would not
touch the iron schedule at present. The
Morrison bill that was reported favorably,
by the Ways and Means Committee was a
good one, and would have come very close
to my idea. I think it was a fair bill. I
think this country is destined to lie
one of the greatest manufacturing centres
of the world. For that reason I would not
interfere with protection of manufacturers
at present. But the tax on coal should be
removed. Three-quarters of all the coal in
the world is in this country, and I believe it
should tie free to enter. The great qestion
of the day is cheap fuel, and the government
uhould do all it can to solve the question.
There is no reason why the United States
should not compete with the rest of the
world successfully.”
INDIANA’S CONSPIRATORS.
fho Evidence Concluded and Argu
ment to Begin To-Day.
Indianapolis, July 26. —The evidence in
the election conspiracy cases was concluded
to-day and the argument will begin to-mor
row. Defendants Coy and Shaun were on
the stand and entered a point blank denial
of the allegation of State’s evidence. Wit
ness Perkins, as to their complicity in the
Conspiracy. The defense concluded its evi
tienco with the testimony of a number of
witm -s.-es as to previous rood character of the
defendants. State St liator Morgan H.
Weir, Democrat, was introduced in rebuttal
by the government, and testified that during
the session of the Legislature, when Defend
ant Counselinan had been employed as door
keeper of the Senate, a disposition prevailed
among certain Senators to dismiss him for
cause, and that Defendant Coy came to him
(Weir) and said: “We must keep Coun-
Belman sure, or else he will squeal
about the tally-sheet cases.” On the strength
■>f this Counselinan was retained. The prose
cution closed by introducing Chief of Police
I ravi,, ex-Chief Laud a number of mem
tiers of the present and old police forces,
who testified that the reputation of Coy and
Mattie r were bad.
DEVASTATED NEW ENGLAND.
The Apnearnnce of the Country Worse
Than After Last Year's Flood.
Great Barrington, Mass., July 36.—A
sareful inspection of the flooded area shows
that the devastation has been more wide
spread than has been reported. More water
fell, and farming lands and roads have a
wurse appearance than was the case during
the dishstrous flood at Leo lust year. When
the cloud burst, the air seined to fill with
water and in a very short time the valley
became transformed into a white-eap)>ed
lake. Nearly all of the crops in the valley
were destroyed, and it will take years to
restore to the land its former fertility, so
deep) , is it covered witli stones and sand
brought down by numerous land slides.
Although the damage to prop,Try was very
great, the reports of loss of life have beau
exaggeiated. The only body found is that
o' Air. Drum, of Caroyvllle. It is stated
tiiat in Hillsdale, just over the line in New
*“rk State, not a mill is left standing or in
working order.

The Significance of the Convention’s
Fight on Sherman.
Toledo, 0., July 36. —Although the Re
publican State Convention does not moet
until to-morrow afternoon at 4 o’clock, and
not over one-half the delegates have yet ar
rived, the hotels are crowded. Extraordi
nary interest is taken in the proceedings be
cause of the fact that resolutions will be
offered in the convention indorsing Senator
Sherman for the Presidential nomination.
The convention in reality is thus made of
national importance, and this accounts for
the tremendous attendance. There is no
doubt that the resolutions will be carried in
the convention.
TWO THINGS IN DOUBT.
Two things in doubt are, how strongly it
will be opposed on the floor of that body,
and whether the opposition can muster suffi
cient strength to break the force before the
country of the indorsement. The opponents
of tile resolution claim they can muster at
least one-third of -the convention, while
the supporters of it declare that it will
go through with a whirl and that the op
position will be too insignificant to amount
to anything but an exhibition of personal
dislike. Senator Sherman arrived at 5
o’clock this evening. He was met by a re
ception committee and several local Repub
lican clubs with music, who escorted him to
his hotel. Gov. Foraker is detained at the
capital by business and will not arrive until
8 o’clock to-morrow.

AUGUSTA’S KNtGHTS.
The District Master Workman De
posed—A Prohibition Boom.
Augusta, Ga., July 26.—There is groat
trouble among the Knights of Lalior in this
city. District Master Wot liman Davis has
lieen deposed 'and there is great, disaffection
in the ranks. It develops that the fight
dates back to the admissson to the order of
a prominent physician. A day or so after
his initiation there was promulgated anew
constitution forbidding membership to doc
tors of medicine. Then an attempt, with
which the District Master Workman was
identified, was made to oust the doctor, tint,
the assembly which he has joined fought iiis
tight. The different phases of tho affair
cannot be traced, but it seems
to have reached a climax Saturday night,
when the District Assembly remained in
session until late Sunday morning. It de
veloped to-day that the Master Workman’s
official head is cut off and that William
Ne xls, a Georgia road employe, has lieen
set un temporarily in his stead. The row is
a well defined one, and the indications are
that the order is not likely to hold together
here long. They go so far as to say that
race and religious quad ions have been used
to widen the breach. Emmet Assembly is
tlie branch which waged tho N. H. Davis
fight so successfully.

liras a strong following and the trap may be
sprung any day now.

which provides for written notification of
evictions.
Mr, Balfour said he appreciated the warn
ing of prolonged opposition to the clause,
hut lie hail to announce a firm determination
of tho government, to ndliero to it. [Cheers
and cries of “Oh, Oh.”]
Lord Randolph Churchill expressed stir
prise at the attitude of the government. He
thought the ministry were prepared to
maintain an open mind with regard to the
clause, against which he must enter a strong
protest as a measure that raised unnecessa
rily contentious matter. Was the clause so
important, lie nski-d, that the government
would urge it upon the Upturn as a separate
bill) [Cries of hear, hear, and a voice
coercion bill No. 31.
The clause, lie continued, would not aid in
securing the object of the bill, which was to
stay harsh evictions. He certainly thought
that tlie government ought at least**) agree
to postpone the subject.
Maj. Saunderson (Conservative) hoped
tho government would stand fast, and Mr.
Balfour repeated his refusal to abandon
tho clause or postpone its discussion.
Under the advice of Mr. Gladstone the
Paniellitce have abandoned their intention
to move an adjournment for tlie purpose of
challenging the government with reference
to tho Irish proclamations. The opposition
does not want to interfere with tin* progress
of the land bill if tho government con
tinues to shape the clause iu
consonance with home rulo aims.
The action of (he Irish Executive will bo
mode the subject of motion of censure by
Mr. Morley after the land bill lias been set
tied, and the debate fin thi censure motion
will bo tiie concluding excitement of the
session. The government proposes to abate
don tlie bill providing for tlie trial for
graver offences by a commission of Judges.
The session will thus bo somewhat short
ened.
PROTESTING CONSTABLES.
Dublin, July 26. —Two more members of
the Irish constabulary resigned yesterday
evening as a protest against tho crimes act.
The government havo revised the list of
Irish magistrates. Many of the older ones
will bcnlaoed on tlie pension list and will
be replaced by younger and more active
men.
SUPPOIITING PARNELL.
Messrs. Morley and Dillon supported Mr.
Parnell's motion. Mr. Dillon suiil he re
garded the clause a* one of the most deadly
stabs ever aimed at the interests of the Irish
tenants, and whenever it was discussed he
would doom it his duty to exhaust every
form known to the House in opposing it.
Mr. .Smith said the government Is-lieved
that the clause was necessary. If called
upon to face uncompromising opposition
they would rattier meet it now than appear
'to give way when they did not intend to
give any. [Cheers.]
Mr. Chamberlain said that after the
tin-cuts of Mr. Dillon he would support tho
government. Moasis. Parnell and Dillon
protested but the chairman decided that
Mr. Chamberlain was in order. Tlie
latter proceeding reminded the Par
nellites that they were engaged
in discussing the most magnificent
concession ever made by any government
to Irish tenants. The government, he de
clared, could not possibly accede to all their
demands. Eventually the amendment was
rejected by a vote of 212 to 150.
Earl of Aberdeen, in an interview to-day
with a representative of tho Dublin
Freeman, said he was much impressed
with tlie earnest sympathy for the
Irish autonomy in the colonies n:id
America. He returns to England with hi*
autonomist convictions deepened nnd inteii
silltxl, and rejoices in the indications of the
steady and rapid growth of British opinion
iu favor of home rule.

BEREBFORD’S BAD BREAK.
He Makes and, Mistake Which Compete
Him to Rosi < n.
London, July 2(s.—Lord Charles Beres
ford, Junior Lord of the Admiralty, lias re
signed. He Ims been requested to with
draw his resignation. The cause for the
resignation was a minor breach of etiquette
at Kpithcud during the naval review last
Saturday, when a private signal made by
Lord Charles from the royal yacht was con
verted into a public scandal. While the
Queen was receiving the captains of the
fleet in the saloon of the royal yacht Albert
and Victoria, Lord llcresford, who was on
the yacht, signalled to the Enchantress,
aboard which his wife was, the following
message: '“Tell Lady Charles to go immedi
ately aboard the yaelit i .ancaaliire Witch,
where 1 will join her.”
THE captain knkagkd.
The Captain of the Enchantress, when
the signal was given thought of course that
it was a special royal command, but as the
message was slowly spelled out he became
greatly enraged. Ho had, however, to
smother his feelings, not daring to report
Lord Charles, in view of his position as
Lord of (lie Admiralty. The Captain could
not refrain, however, from complaining
privately to his friends, and in this way
a reporter of the Times learned of the
incident. The result, was the publication
of the story in Monday’s issue of the Times,
Lord Charles than had no option but to re
sign. The iucidont is believed to be un
paralleled. Disclipliuarians declare that
Lord Ohnrlos’ Conduct, was virtually a gross
insult to the Queen. The permanent offi
cials of the Admiralty office, it is said, are
delighted over the position in which “Re
former Beresford” is placed by the affair.
CANADA'S SEIZURES.
A Fine of S4OO Impoeed on tho Annie
W. Hodgclon.
Halifax, N. 8., July 24. —'The ease of
the Gloucester fishing schooner Annie W.
Ilodgdon, seized yesterday at. Hhelburne, is
similar to most of last year’s seizures for
customs violations, and has no connection
with the fisheries treaty. Tho vessel, which
had previously been only detained awaiting
orders from Ottowa, was to-day formally
seized on the charge of violating the Cana
dian customs laws, and a due of S4OO was
imposed. All the vessels seized last season
on a similar charge were fined
either S2OO or S4OO each, the fine lie
ing deposited in every case under
protest and afterwards nearly the whole
amount was refunded to the various owners,
only the nominal sum of S2OO or thereabouts
being retained. The government’s action
respecting the Ilodgdon is therefore some
what odd, the offense lieing no more serious
than any of those committed before,
cact. knowr.ton posted.
Capt. Knowlton, of the cruiser Advance,
who made the capture, was informed some
days ago that tin' Hodgdon was on the
western crust and it was suspected that she
was in seal ch of bait, hut so far there is no
proof* of violation of tho treaty
and she is held simply
for tho customs offense. When she was
seized t here was some fresh codfish in a tub
on deck, which Capt. Morrison stated had
been brought on board by missing men who
lmd just lieen found. There is no evidence
in contradiction of this, and it is
probable that the fish were really
caught on Brown’s Bank, being taken
from trawls before the men strayed away
in the fog. After tho instructions were re
ceived from Ottawa to impose S4OO fine, the
Customs Collector at Wood requested Capt,
Morrison to bring the schooner to the
wlmrf, which was done, and she now lies in
the dock in charge of the Collector’s men.
Capt. Moirisou has telegraphed to his
owners asking whether the fine shall bo
paid, but lias not yet received an answer.

A MEAT DEALER’S EXPERIENCE
WITH THE CROOKS.
Ton Thousand Dollars Paid For tha
Privilogo of Supplying the County
Institutions in 1884 and 1885—Mo
Gariglo Believed to Have Gone to
Manitoba via Milwaukee.
Chicago, July 26. —Sheriff Matson haa
caused a circular to bo printed offering on
his own account a reward of $2,500 for tha
capture of McOarigle. The circular will lia
sent to all the principal cities in the United
States. An intimate Mend of McGarigle's*
named Chapman, tells a story of meeting
McGuriglo in Milwaukee Sunday morning.
Chapman did not then know of McGarigl' ’*
escape. Notwithstanding this he wasnl mil
to greet McOarigle when the lattef
gave him tho cut direct and disappeared in
tlie crowd. The impression has grown to a
conviction that when Chapman saw him
McOarigle was about to take a train for t'u#
Northwest, and that he is now safe in Mani
toba. McOarigle’s fattier, two brothers and
brother-in-law live in Milwaukee, and it is
ix't'fectly natural that he should have gone
I here, as he could take a train for Milwau
kee almost immediately after his escape
from the Sheriff.
COSTLY CONTRACTS.
The usual crowd was present in JudgA
Jameson's court this morning when the pro-,
erodings in the boodle trial were resumed.
One or the witnesses to-day was F. W. Bips
per, a meat contractor, who was generally
supposed to have very sensational testimony 1
to disclose. Ripper testified that iie had
Been supplying Cook county institution*
with meat since 1880. The second year ha
was ohlighed to pay the Commissioners
$3,000 fot a contract. Tlie next year ha
I laid tlpe Chairman of the board $5OO for
voting for his contract.
“Now, for the year of 1883, what did ik
cost, youf” asked Oen. Stiles
“Six thousand dollars."
“Did you pay Wassaman any of itl”
"I did.”
“Did you pay I’. lleCruUa ff
“I did.”
“How much?”
“One thousand dollars.”
“Why was that?”
“Well, I paid him nothing the year lie
fore ami lie said he would not vote for m#
unless 1 made it up next year."
'“a little something.*
“Van Pelt get any!”
“A little something.”
“How' much?”
“Thirteen hundred dollars.”
“How did you come to pay him more thai*
the others?”
“He said ho wns working harder for me.
He was a champion. He said ho was offered
$2,000 from another man.”
“How about Lynn?”
“I paid him $500.”
“Hoar did you pay this moneyf’
“Oh, I slipped it into their pockets some
times.”
"They used to wear suck coats, didn’t
they ?”
‘I don’t know about that.”
In 18(4-85 tho contracts cost Bippei
$lO,OOO.
ACTING AS AGENT.
Ripper further testified Mint during 188$
he acted as agent for tho commissioners to
collect assessment from sub-contractors who
supplied milk anil bread. Tlie money ob
tained from this source wns disbuised as
follows: To Nioson £noo, McDonald $4.15,
Icy deli (“for th Ixiys”) $11,200, Klehm $BOO,
MK’laughery $BOO. Ripper said a grocery
firm, for whom ho secured a contract, paid
him 10 pier cent, of ah the sales to tha
county.
A SHAM REFORMER.
After Ripper, came Commissioner McDon
aid and K. Robinson, a wholesale grocer,
each of whom had turned Htnte’s evidence.
McDonald has always nosed as a “reform*
member of the county board, but had not
taken the oath of office six days when ho
commenced receiving money for his vote.
The evidence of McDonald directly involvtx#
Commissioners Wren, CastelUnan, Vanpelt*
Ochs and Mc(.'iu-thy in similar practices.
Orocer Robinson gave a complete list of
tlie enormous sums lie had paid in Bribed
from month to month for years. Until 188S
he gave regularly 10 pier cent, on all sales.
Then the rate was increased to 12 pier cent.,
until the county became unable to cash any
more warrants. The State has still In re
