Measures Then Force viii he Used.
SANFRANcIsco, February 25.-The Board
of Supervisors this evening passed an Or
dinance to increase the police force to 400
men. The ostensible reason was for the
purpose OF giving employment to needy
men.
AT meeting OF the Eleventh Ward
Club OF Workingmen last evening resolu-
uons were adopted promising that II there
was an attempt 10 be made TO prevent the
condemnation OF China town, and that
being law abiding citizens they would de.
fend at the cost OF their lives the enforce
ment Of the law, and offer a thousand
men to aid the Government in carrying
out It's provisions.
Speaking 70 this resolution, Mr.. Kear-
ney said that he had been informed from
reliable source that secret movement
is on foot to crush the anti.C Chinese cru.
SADIE, the Chinese Six Companies and
some Of the merchants being the insti.
gators, and the Police Department and
National Guards, the tools; that the enc
mics OF the Workingmen were to inau-
gurate trouble by starting fire or row.
Then Kearney and the Mayor were to be
assassinated by policemen In the disguise
OF Chinese highlanders, and Chinese,
armed 70 the teeth, were TO be let loose to
massacre men, women and childran, se-
Letting the laboring population OF the city
as their victims.
Regarding the case now before the U.
y. Circuit Court, involving the constitu.
tionality OF the law forbidding corpora
tons to employ Chinese, he would accept
no decision but that Of the people, and
they say, "The Chinese must go." He
would leave a list OF names OF persons
that must be guillotined, in case he was
lssassinated, as his assassination would
be a blow at every workingman and wo.
man in the civilized world. He announc.
I'd that tomorrow the ward presidents,
he Mayor and the workingmen city off.
,lals would meet at the headquarters OF
he party for q purpose not stated,

The Star publishes what purports to be

declares his candidacy for the Presidential

presses himself very bitterly against Hem

He believes Grant will be the Republican
nominee and that he (Tilden) can defeat
him, while Bayard can't on account OF his
southernsympathies during the war. He
regards Thurman as out OF the question

THE BELnoNT COUNTY SEAT rrenr.
How the Claims OF the Two cities Were
Presented at Columbus.
w., -,D,,S n Rah Ok 1901

COLUMBUS, VI, LED 20 looV.
Editors IutcIlisencer
The committee on New Counties and
County Affairs met last night and heard
the arguments pro and con in relation to
the Belmont county seat fight. All the
members of the committee and several
other members both Of the House and
Senate were presentand listened TO the ar
gument.
Colonel Poorman opened the case for
Bellaire in d speech OF about fifty minutes.
He was followed by Judge. Chambers, OF
St. Clairsyille, who occupied almost an
hour and half In presenting his argu.
ment. The Colonels presentation OF the
claims OF Bellaire was pointed and stats.
tical, he furnishing the evidence OF the
county records as regards his points on
litigation and summoning witnesses. de
pointed very forcibly to some parts Of the
county where witnesses came within ~ OF
a mile OF Bellaire, who only lived le miles
| from st. Clairsyille, and yet they were al
lowed mileage for 81 miles. His statistics
were complete and undisputed.
Judge Chambers followed with very
plausible speech in favor OF st. Clairsyille.
He thought the statistics shown had but
little bearing on the case, and referred in
yery impressive manner 10 the first, sec
and, and all the agitations OF this ques-
zion. He thought the benefit was local
that local benefit had prompted the agita-
ton OF this question, and showed pretty
fairly his case in this particular.
Both the gentlemen INDUCED in quite, q
harangue that you would not care to pub
lish, it being both personal, pointed, aou-
siye, and calculated to amuse rather than
instruct.
Col. Poorman replied, and even sur
prised himself in the presentation, OF his
second argument. He had warmed up. TO
\ the subject and did ample justice under
the circumstances. He was feeling very
unwell, but the emergency OF the case
brought him out pretty thoroughly.
Both sides feel confident Of success, but
| In the opinion OF your correspondent the
county seat fight Is settled, and that moi
| In favor OF Bellaire. We regret to an
nounce this, but we believe 1t to be true
nevertheless, Thedisposition seems 70 DC
to ignore all such contests-besides there
are lobbyists here from st. Clairsville, who
will defeat our men every time they want
Ito, and have the opportunity. we nope
we are mistaken In our judgement, bp'
this morning will tell the tale. The com
mittee meet then, and shall telegraph

Of the Union.
ResOlted, That while we record our firm
determination that the results OF the war
for the Union shall not be lost,w have no
hatred toward our brethren Of the South.
We ask Of them only what we hold our.
selves bound to render, obedience to the
law, the maintenance OF order, equality
OF rights, and the acceptance OF the fair
rule Of majority in elections, and for all
who honestly accept these fundamental
principles OF the Democratic Government,
We have only q kindly and fraternal feel.
ing, which should animate citizens OF one
nation.
Re5olred, That we commend the ad-
ministration Of President Hayes for It's
successful resistance to the attempts Of
the Democratic party in Congress TO sub.
vert the independence Of the constituted
departments Of the government and to
coerce the President into signing bills
making important changes which he could
not approve, for its support Of honest
money, and currency ofintrinsic value,
and for its efforts to purify and keep clean
the public service.
ResOlred, That we welcome every well
directed effort TO raise a standard OF
Official and personal character in the
public servants and representatives, and
TO elevate. the civil service by making the
choice and retention OF public officials de.
pendent on honesty, capacity and fidelity,
rather than on caprice and personal favor
OF congressman and heads Of the depart
ment.
SOLID FOR SENATOR EDNUNDs.
The following resolution was also
adopted:
RssOlred, That the Republicans OF Yer.
mont present to the Republicans Of the
country George F. Edmunds as suitable
person to be made the candidate Of the
party for the next President.
We do this not wholly or chiefly from our
State pride in man whose public service
has been so honorable 10 the people
whom he has represented, but because his
pure life, his eminent ability, his valuable
public service and his unhinching repub-
licanism have marked him by higher
title than accidentiof birth, place or resi-
dence, las person fit to be President Of
United States. Himself representative

ought to hold as It's most precious
possession, an answering fidelity to the

and has won It's great reputation, and OF
the intellectual power and moral sense

preserve what It has so worthily achieved,
his candidacy would be OF itself a leClara.

Luke FL. Poland offered resolution
doing away with the election OF delegates
by District Conventions and making all to
be elected by the State Convention, which
was adopted.
The following alternates were elected:
9. W. Hendee, VIM. Rounds, G. W.
Grandy, John @. Stearns.
Adjourned.
The delegates were uninstructed, but the
sentiment Of the convention was for Ed
