X Democratic Fling at Prohibition,

X Deinucrntic Fling at Prohibition.
 EMPoRIA, Aug 31.-The Democratic State convention met this morning and adopted resolutions declaring the prohibition law to have proved disastrous failure. The reso- lutions declare that the convention is in favor of true temperance and of vigorous laws against the evil of intemperance, but favor the repeal of the prohibitory law and the enactment and rigid enforcement of license law for the reason that prohibition is an in fringemeht of the personal rights of citizens, making crimes of acts which have nowhere been regarded at common law, inviting law breaking, causing excessive taxation and leading to the spread of drunkenness.

A Spicy Plea For the De fsnse.


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 3l.-a1r. Henkle, of the counsel for the defense, proceeded with his argument in the Star route case this morning. The government, he said, had conceded that the branch of tho conspiracy v ich had been attributed to Turner was not Sustained by the proof, and has argued that Turner's performances were & necessary part of the scheme of the indictment, and that if the case had failed to him, it had failed to all. He gave notice that he would present a prayer to that effect.
 The court inquired whether Mir. Henkle was not little premature in making his ar gument. No nolle pros. had been entered as to Turner, nor had the jury found verdict acquitting him.
 MT. Henkle-Mr. Merrick discharged him from the case.
 Mir. Henkle, after various controver- sies with the court as to the con- ! structon to be placed on the authorities | cited, began his address to the jury, express l ing his regret that his speech would be as l tiresome as twice told tale. Before his en- l trance into this case he had, through con- stant perusal of the newspapers, supposed | that the defendants in this case were respec- l table freebooters as ready to crack Uncle | Sam's crib. as were the road agents of the far 1 West to dispose of his mail coaches. He had l known none of the defendants personally until about two months ago. There was no l justification for Mir. Merrick's characteriza- ! tion of Eaile as 8 thief and a robber. Mir. Vaile was the peer of Mir. Merrick any man in this presence for integrity and honor. 1 AS to Miner he (denkle) knew him to be neither thief nor a robber, nor dishonest l man.

Western Uniun Stock-Gould Reaching
 Out Tor Further Control.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-It was current gossip in certain Wall street quarters today that John Fender s visit to the United States at this time has important bearing on the future of Western Union. It is claimed th at with the exception perhaps of Mir. Gould he is the largest individual holder of Western Union stock in the world Brokers familiar with the inside wo1ki1 gs of the great tele graph monopoly declare that Fender and Gould are ln perfect accord and that they were in consultation yesterday with the ob- ject of placing a large block of Western Union upon the London market. Gould's idea it is stated is to buy up at present mar ket rates all the floating Western Union stock
 and place it in the hands of an English syn dicate with the understanding that it shall be employed exclusively for speculative pur- poses abroad.
 What would be the effect of this p 8 broker asked. ''As far the American market is concerned,' he answered, it would have very serious effect. It would remove from the active field of speculation l the loose stock which is dealt in daily and would leave the market, as far as Western l Union stock is concerned entirely at the mer- ! cy of Gould and the syndicate and they could 1 fix valuation to suit themselves and force
 all who had orders to fill to pay tribute" | And would It affect the elections - Tn | this war the foting stock being in the hands of | & syndicate, of which MT Gould is the nov tug spirit, and it being located abroad, would l virtually be in the hands of Gould and he
 could easily control all future elections. A
 combination thus formed would constitute
 Gould and Fender perpetual custodians of | Western Union for all future.''
 You regard it, then, monster combi 1 nation p "Yes Under Gould's manage
 ment Western Union is huge monopoly, but l if he succeeds in forming this syndicate he
 will make of it international monopoly,
 and thus secure permanent foothold in the | London Stock Exchange"
