mXSHASTHE LEAD I
democratic State Convention on
in South Carolina.
ftHE OCALA PLATFORM PROBABLE
i
sol*position of the Conditional Bolt Made
ia the Anti-TlUman Convention Ke
mains to be Seen—The Fight
on to the Finish.
Columbia. S. C., September 10.—The
democratic state convention meets at
'noon today. This morning’ arrivals
complete the list of delegates, and the
'convention shows every evidence of
being one of the largest, and perhaps
loudest ever held in the Palmetto.
[John Garry Evans will be the nominee
for governor. There is a quiet scram
ble among reformers for the' other
places. The convention, will, in all
; probability, again adopt the Ocala plat
form, though there are some who are
willing to meet the conservatives half
way. That there will be two tickets
both claiming to be democratic is
almost certain and a short, butexcit
. ■ ing campaign will result. What the
republicans will do remains to be seen.
It is rumored that they will revive and
take a hand in the fracus.
One of the principal features of the
loonvention will be the disposition made
of the feeling brought out in the anti-
Tillman convention yesterday.
This convention adopted a series of
resolutions in which it was demanded
of the state convention which meets to
day that they adopt the Chicago plat
form and explicitly declare true and
loyal allegiance to the national demo
cratic party ; that it, at the same time
repudiate and rescind the action of the
state convention of 1872 which adopted
the Ocala platform as the principles of
the democratic party of the state ; that
the state convention nominate no one
not in full accord with the principles of
the national democratic party or no one
who acknowledge allegiance to the
Ocala platform or to the principles of
the populist party.
An executive committee of one mem
ber from each county was appointed
which shall call the convention again
should the state convention fail to car
hut. these demands.
OFFICERS ARREST OFFICERS.
bloody Riot In Chicago Among Constables,
Detectives and Gamblers.
Chicago, September 19.—Shortly af
ter 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon a
squad of detectives from Matt Pinker
ton’s agency attempted to raid the gam--
bling house of Harry .Varnell, ex-copn
ty boodler, at 119 Clark street. Thp
inmates of the establishment had been
advised of the intended raid and made
a stubborn resistance. Several black
eyes and bloody noses were inflicted
and the row continued until Varnell
secured warrants for the arrest of the
Pinkertons from a near by magistrate
on a charge of disorderly conduct. A
squad of special constables descended
upon the detectives and took -them to
the Harrison street station and the
gambles went to work to repair damages.
Varnell was open as usual last night.
It is thought that the raid was the work
of the civic federation. Another story
is that it is a phase of war between the
“Trust” gamblers and those who are
carrying on business on their own
hook.

man Tanner of the republican state
committee of Illinois, wrote recently to
ex-President Harrison asking him to
make one or more campaign speeches
in Illinois this fall. He has re

My Dear Sir: I have not been able
sooner to acknowledge your letter of
August 92. I only got hcnne yesterday.
I have made up my mind not to gojout
of this state to enter into the campaign
this fall. Ido not think It wdiflJ be
right for me to go into general Cam
paign work. I have promised our own
people to make a couple of short speech
es in this state, and if I go beyond this
and visit Illinois or lowa, as I have been
invited to do, or any other state, I could
not put any limit on the demands which
would be made upon me. lam sorry
to disappoint you, for you have all
shown me a great deal of kindness in

Republican Candidate For Governor of
New York Preparing For Work.
Saratoga, N. Y., September 19.
Levi I*. Morton, who was nominated
on the first ballot last night nt the
republican convention, for governor,
has accepted, and this morning begins
the preparations for the campaign.
In the convention Warner Miller was
made permanent chairmen. The plat
form was presented and adopted with
out discussion. Upon questions of na
tional politics it says:
The republicans of New York in con
vention assembled, extehd hearty greet
ings to the republicans'.of Pennsylva
nia, Rhode Tslaud, OregoW, Vermont and
Maine for their prompt and just judg
ment on an incompetent democratic
administration. They voice the verdict
of the people that the path of protec
tion is the path of prosperity. And we
congratulate the democratic sugar
planters of Louisiana on their courage
ous declaration of independence of
party trammels that endanger the ma
terial prosperity of their Mate.
Charges “Perfidy and Dishonor."
We invite the people to compare the
pledges of the democratic party with
the performances of a democratic ad
ministration. The fitness and capacity
of the democracy to govern must bo
judged by Its record. Its most import
ant achievement thus far has been fitly
characterized by the chief executive of
its choice as one of “perfidy and dis
honor.” Denouncing political corrup
tion, it has rewarded the largest con
tributors to its campaign fund by the
best of all foreign missions; denounc
ing trusts, it permitted one of them to
to formulate its tariff bill; promising
a continuance of the vigorous foreign
policy established by the lamented
James Gillespie Blaine, it substituted a
"policy of infamy" when Hawaii was
freely offered us; denouncing the Sher
man act as a cowardly makeshift, it
was enabled to repeal the silver pur
chasing clause of that act only by the
help of republican senators; arraign
ing protection ns “a fraud upon labor,”
it passed a mongrel protective measure
so tainted with scandal that it barely
escaped the veto of a democratic presi
dent ; advocating free raw materials
and an extension of our foreign trade,
it destroyed all the profitable recipro
cal agreements made by President Har
rison ; pledging itsoly to the payment
of "just and liberal pensions,” it treats
the anion soldier as if the grand army
badge were the badge of beggary and
brigandage ; pledging retrenchment.
“Odlou* Incom. Tax Hill.”
It exceeded at the last session of con
gress the expenditures of the corres
ponding session of the last republican
congress by 827,000,000 in the fact- of
decreasing revenues, and after it hud
added, 850,000,000 to the public debt
while pretending to be in favor of in
dividual freedom it hastened to enact
an odious income tax force bill, em
powering deputy collectors to enter the
homes of citizens and compel them by
threats of official summonses and heavy
penalties to disclose their prlvc affairs.

Washington, September 19—The
resignation of O'Rovrko, the, supervis*

of tho treasury. In this ho explains
that ii conspiracy has been formed in
his'own office to effect hlsdownfall. Tho
sensation created nt first has not sub
sided, and it is not believed that the

said, cuts an important figure in tlio

Jackson carried with him p number
of presents and tokens of esteem from
his friends. Ho did not have anything
new to say about Corbett, except, that
ho hoped tlio latter would not be foolish
enough to say anything unkind of him
while ho was away.
"If ho doos,” said Jackson, with
flaring eyes, “I'll make him shut up in
double-qick time. Tlio public will
surely condemn him In tho end if ho
takes any mean advantage of me while
lam away from America. The idea of
proposing that 1 should fight, in private.
Ho knows that wo cannot fight in pri

himself talk.”

CoLUimra, 0., September 19.—Tha
democratic state coevatjlidn meets at
noou. All day yesterday the delegates
were pouring into the city, and, never
was there snch a hot contention on
the scone Wore on the 4vc of the moot
ing of Ohio’s democracy. . A • |
The adherents of Senator Calvin S.
Brice will control the- convention by
two to one." Bet the 'opposition to the
junior senator and which is based upon
his nnti-admi.iisttation course in the
recent tariff contest, is compact, ag
grcslve nud under good leadership, and
becaiiKo it is out numbered it doos hot
follow that* it will accept the peaoe.and

Where Sherman Stood.- . ,
Senator Brice arrived, from the east
shortly befdre four o’clock yesterday
afternoon and established.. headquar

conducted his last and most memorable
senatorial campaign. He was lw to
till comers but ho sedulously avoided
all reference to the fight against him.
The silver question is another bone of
contention. For several months past
a number of leading members of the
party, both on platform and through
literature have been advocating the 1
free coinage doctrine. A resolution to
this end has been prepared fob submis
sion to the platform committee by Allen
W. Thurman, son of “Old Roman."
It will doubtless be reported by the bi*
metallists in which event it will b« of

on the ticket can bo had for the asking. 1
The committee on permanent organi
