THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Prediction That 1t Will be Held In This
CitY-Indiana And the Candidates

Prediction That 1t Will be Held In This
City-Indiana And the Candidates.
Special to Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Mr.. John C. New, Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, is a member of the Rebuilt
can National Committee from Indiana He
says in regard to the place where the next
National Republican Convention will be
held that indianapolis will undoubtedly be
the city selected.
In the history of the party Chicago has had
the convention three time; Baltimore Gin
cinnati and Philadelphia each once. There
is no inducement offered for selecting New
York city-a city that does not care for a
National Convention, because its coming
and going is of no financial Importance.
Saratoga would probably offer sufficient
accommodations but it has not been the
custom to hold great Convention at a
watering place. indianapolis Mr.. New
says, is not only central point, but it has
sufficient hotel capacity. As for a place of
meeting, a building of sufficient size would
be erected in which to hold the Convention.
Speaking of convention halls" said Mr.
New, "as member of the committee l shall
vote against holding the meeting in any
building seating over 1000 persons. l be-
lieve, too, that it is the sentiment of the ma
jority, if not OF all the members of the COM
mittee. Our experience at Chicago in 1880
was sufficient to warn us never to hold an
other national convention in a barn.
"The delegates to the next convention, on
the basis of present representation, and in
cluding the nine Territories, will numb Der
800 The alternates make the same number,
though there is no more reason why an al
ternate should have q seat on the floor, if
the principal is there, than any other per-
son. You see that seats must, therefore, be
provided, for the delegates and alternates for
over 1,600 persons. If there is then room for
1000 or 5000 spectators, it ought to be am
pie. The .,owling and cheering at Chicago

views of Senator Warner Miller on the Stu
alton in That State.
Interview in Chicago Tribune.
A reporter for the Tribune saw Senator
Miller, and asked him what he thought were
the prospects of the Republican party this
year in New York. '"They are encouraging"
he answered, land l think we have a good
fighting chance of carrying the State. When
the Republicans are united in New York
they are in majority, and the present indi-
cations lead me to believe that we shall have
perfect harmony in the party. In New York
city they have adopted a new plan, allowing
all Republicans to participate in the prima-
ries, simply requiring them to register in
advance. Under this new system the prima-
ries will be held, and it seems satisfactory to
all factions. The election this year will be
quite important. Outside of the moral effect
on next years contest, all our State officers,
with the exception of Governor and Lieu
tenant-governor will be chosen. In addi-
ton, we elect Legislature of which half of
the Senate will hold over and have voice in
the selection of a senator two years hence"
rs there going to be much of fight for
nominations?'
Il think not. The present incumbents,
who were elected in 1881, were mostly new
men, and as it is customary to give two
terms. the old ticket will probably be renom-
in5ted. We carried the State in 1881. and /
cannot see why it cannot be done again in
1888"
What do you think of the Ohio contestP'
II know very little of Ohio, and have seen
no one from there since my return from the
West. ! hope Judge Foraker will be elected
as it will correspondingly strengthen our
chances in New York, while defeat would
weigh us down. The result in Ohio will
have big effect on New York;
Does it not look to you as if the Demo-
Gratis were going to dodge the tariff issueT'
90 The time has gone by when any great
party can afford to dodge an issue. If the
Democrats are non-committal, and fail to
take decided stand ON that question, they
will get the credit of being against high
tariff, and will be judged accordingly"
The Senator would not express any opin-
ion about presidential nominations, merely
saying that any good man would be accepta-
bic to- the party. -a..- at- sa -1.c. = q

Two Reports in the Tewksburv Case.

BosToN, July 1.-THE majority of the
Tewksb6rry committee reported to the
House that Thomas j. Marsh, jr.. refuses to
produce the memorandum books showing
case are reclted for the House to act upon
The minority report was presented, saying
the committee has all the essential facts;
that Marshs memorandum contains the
names of the bodies dissected that Governor
Butler used the names furnished by Hall or
his witnesses in way contrary to decency;
that no chance for a similar course with
other memoranda should be allowed, and
that the matter be dropped A resolution
was introduced by Democrat requiring the
sergeant-at-arms to arrest Marsh for con-
tempt. Laid over till tomorrow.

and Mcdonald for President.
Interview in Chicago Times
In talking of the political situation in In
diana Mr.. Matson said that the topic of all
absorbing interest locally was the pending
gubernatorial contest In his party ex-Goy-
ernor G ray, who filled the unexpired term
of Blue Jeans" Williams, had a good
lead, with ex-senator Turpie fair second.
1t was foregone conclusion that Mai. w. H.
Calkins would secure the Republican nomi-
nation.
will Mcdonald have a solid delegation
from your State in the national conven-
tion?'
He will, without doubt The party is a
unit for him.
"Will Gov. Hendricks have no following?,
"Mr. Hendricks is one of the most popular
men in the State In fact, he has no enemies
But his best friends think that an entirely
new man would be more acceptable to the
country at large"
What truth is there in the reported
scheme to nominate him for Governor and
then adjourn the convention b fore he has
time to decline?'
II do not think there is any foundation
for such story. 1t is well known that Gov
ernor Hendricks would not accept the nomi-
nation under any circumstances
"ls Mcdonald as popular in the party at
large as he is in his own Stater'
81 think he is the most available man in
the party and acceptable to the greatest num-
ber. If the convention were held tomorrow
he would be nominated on the first ballot
but it is impossible to tell what year may
bring forth"

| WAsHINGToN July 11.-Bartett was cross
| examined before the Hill investigating COM
mittee to-day. He said lie had made about
dozen visits to New York during the prog
ress of the work on the postoffice building,
but relied upon the foreman for statement
of the cost of extra work done and material
furnished The foreman was dead, and a de.
tailed account of those expenditures has
been lost or destroyed after the bill was
made out. Had filed time sheets and other
papers, but had not seen them since the bill
was made out.
Mr.. Coleman expressed surprise that busi-
ness men should destroy their accounts
Witness said he should keep them here
after, because he did not want q repetition
of such a thing as this. Witness did not
know anything of the stcam-heating branch
of the business: that was in charge of Mr.
Hayward. Believed Chas. P Newton super

Question-Why YVES he paid by the gov

was.
Q.-What does this voucher mean, then?'
Al meant that he foremaned our work.
Q.-Didn't he act rs superintendent? a.
i suppose So or he would not have been
paid.
Mr. Totten asked the witness how it was
his firm had been more successful in obtains
ing contracts for heating apparatus than foA
other work. He answered that they werC
the lowest bidders, and had better facilities
than any other firm. To Mr. Coeman-Ws
may have secured the repair work from tho
government without advertisement. We
never did any such work by verbal authori-
ty OF the supervising architect.
Mr. Coleman produced vouchers for work
of this kind, but witness said he knew moth
ing of them, as they were vouchers for work
not in his department. Mr.. Coleman pro-
duced n voucher for 81, 500 for steam boilers,
paid Bartlett, Hayward & Co., and asserting
that this contract had unlawfully been
awarded without competition, asked if the
witness did not regard that as evidence of

tainty as well as uneasiness.

The LeDer.

Salem, Mass, 29.-Chsrles Derby, the
alleged Leper at the aims house, is fall
ing slowly but surely. He is kept iso-
lated from all other inmates, and has an
attendant whose duty it is to wait on
him alone. One Of his eyes is completely
sightless and the other is gradually be-
coming so, everything appearing hszy or
smokey. He sleeps and eats we'll, but
his voice is hosrse and husky. He de-
clares his disease is not leprosy at all,
but OF another nature contracted six or
seven years ago. He says he is himself
perfectly familiar with leprosy in all is
stages, having been in a hospital in Cali
fornis, and that in every instance it COM
mences on the hands and on the little
fingers; that the finger loses its fexibil-
ity, and becomes numb. DR.. Marchfel6,
8 Frenchman from Worcester, has seen
him and claims that the case is simply
skin tumor peculiar to the South Sea Is
lands, and is durable. He claims to be q
relative of Ricord, of Paris, but brings
no testimonials with him. He says he
can cure Derby. City Physician Goodsll
has charge of the case at present.

Roseurans ON me rartn-

Washington, 23-In the course of
General RoseGrans' speech, on the tariff
in toe House, yesterday, he said freiebts
from Europe to San Francisco have been
as cheap as Heights from New York.
The articles of Consumption which the
FaGlhc Slope people have had vera
cheaper IN European markets than in
tne east, yet when the national defense
called for e tariff which deprived them
Of these great advantages, they submitted
without q murmur. They took their
goods from inside our tariff line, or ex-
ported them, and paid the debt to the
amount of S6.000,G00 per snnum, but
our people regard the present tariff
system IS full of injustice and oppression,
Ihey think it is building up great mono
ponies and special interests at the expense
OF the great mass of producers and con
EIumers, which could My be justified by
deEp 3rat3 natioIal exeginti3s. They have
8 conviction that common justice and the
interests OF the revenue for the last ten
years have demanded thorough revi-
sion and g eat reduction of the duties. I
share fully in the convictions of nv
constituents on the Pacific Coast. I
think the present tariff should be thor
oughly revised, simplifed and reduced
to the simplest rates of duties which pro-
duce the revenue required for the econo-
mlcsl administration of government AMI
reasonable protection to labor. Our peo-
pie on the Pacific Coast are especially
anxious that this should speedily be done.
Any legislation hoNestly looking to this
end will have my cordial support. In
giving that support shall be governed
by the convictions have nere announced
to my colleagues on this floor. Does the
bill now before our committee meet the
demands Of our people? I anawer it does
not.

Il Is laughable 10 observe what curious
Ideas such folks form of the average

here, and some Of them editorial writers,

Held for E,nbezzlement.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 9.-Judge Finletter, in
a long opinion, sustained the warrants Of ar
rest against WillamC Barrett and Edward
]. Cattell, brokers, accused of emoezzlement
by August Boyd, and ordered each defend
ant to furnish security in 800 0G0 to answer
at court Mr.. Boyd purchased through the
firm of which defendants are members Bead
ing railroad scrip to the amount of 1924, 900,
which he left in custody Of the firm with the
understanding chat il was not to-be sold, but
was to- ekept until called in by the railroad
company. Defendants claim the scrip was
brought to be sold again, and the differences
only to be settled between them and Boyd.
The scripwas subsequently hypothecated by
the firm, and the money obtained therefrom
lost in speculation.
The defendants answer to the charge of
embezzlement was, first, all transactions
were stock gambling, and illegal; second,
they had the right to appropriate money to
their own use, and therefore the debt was not
frauduientlv contracted; third, that usages
and practices of brokers warranted all they

ties the debate on the Tonquin credits bill
was resumed.
DE la Fosse said that in his opinion war
with China was inevitable with the present
governmentin power. He should not vote
for the credits as war credit.
Leon Renault declared the present govern
ment was not responsible for the situation of
affairs. The responsibility rested with the
uncertain policy formerly pursued He con-
tended stability in the cabinets negotiation
with China was impossible because the Chi
nese diplomacy was the most shifting in ex-
istence. If the ministry were defeated, it
would cause China to believe France was
drawing back.
Camille Felletar made a violent attack
upon the policy of the government.
Debate was adjourned until Monday.
