Nominate state Ticket.
BLOOMINGTON, Aug. pa join5 State
convention of GreenbackeTs and Anti
MonOpOlists was held here this afternoon
and resulted in a settlement of all diff

fusion with the Democrats. The Demo-
Gratis were represented by John Fl. Oberly,
Chairman Of the Democratic State Central
Committee. Al Streeter was Permanent
Chairman of the joint convention. The
Committee on Resolutions reported a
resolution confirming the platform Of the
Indianapolis National Convention. The
State Central Committee was then chosen,
and Jesse Harper, of Danville, was re-
elected a member of the Nation
al Greenback Anti-MOnOpOly Com
mittee. An electoral ticket was
named with the exception of five districts,
where the choice was left to the Central
Committee. The question of fusion of
the parties came out next, and when A. II.
Mckeighan in a speech stated that he
was not in favor of fusion and would not
support Butler he was ruled out of order
by the Chair and not allowed to speak.
Epithets of all kinds were hurled at him,
and amid yells he left the convention.
The following was adopted:
AtAottfNs HIT tue cldtC 1tNtIdi Ouullnllltt
of the Peoples party in this State be in
structed TO make up JOINT electoral ticket
with either Of the old parties, but in no case
accept less than seven electoral votes.

in the province of CunO, Piedmont. They

sufferers The Italian peasants in the
cholera districts repel doctors, and prefer
to trust in charms and superstitious OBJ
At Busca a girl was found
dying i'll a filthy room in which
two sheep were feeding from
a filthy trough. The sheep were
allowed to be there because of the super
stitious belief that their wool would alb
sorb the disease. The peasants are pro-
found believers in the efficacy of process
siOns. A serious tumult occurred yester-
a 1f I r. d.
hibited procession. 1t was necessary TO
call out the military to quell the disturb
ance, and several of the rioters received
wounds.

BLAINE'S BITTEREST FOES
INDEPENDENTS MAKING HIS DE
FEAT A CERTAINLY.

Their Work More Vigorous than that
Done by Both of the Regular Cam
paign Committees COMMUNICATIVE Old
Stalwart- Half Breed Fight to be Again
Stirred Up.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-While the
Democratic and Republican campaign
committees are doing very little for lack
OF the necessary money the Independents
of New York are reported to be well
equipped with money, and at once wise
and liberal in its expenditure. A Demo-
cratic Congressman, who was at the
Democratic headquarters to-day, SAID
that the New York Independents were
doing more work than both the old COM
mittees put together. He said: ''They
have had 100000 copies of Carl Schurzs
speech printed in both German and Eng
lish and are distributing it in all direc-
tions, not only in New York. Wisconsin,
Ohio and Kansas, but every where
that the German vote is worth
seeking. They have gone into the work
with will and a determination un-
equaled by either of the regular organiza-
tlons, and, taking advantage of their
knowledge Of the Republican plans and
methods, are doing all in their power to
defeat Blaine. They have had a large
number of copies of the resolutions
passed by the Young Mems independent
Republican Club of Brooklyn printed.
and are circulating them freely. The
ablest men at the head of the movement
are giving their personal attention to the
campaign work, and are contributing
everything that their knowledge and
ability and their money can furnish.
Ihey are determined to defeat
Blaine, and are sparing no means to
secure that end. They are working like
IroJans, but they are working on their
own hook and independently of the Demo-
cratic committee. Outside of the State
they are working among the Germans
chle1y. In the State they are using all
their power in the way of argument and
innuence to foster the natural antagOnism
between the stalwarts and the Blaine ele-
ments; and they are going to revive
BlaIne's letter, which was published dur
ing FOlger's campaign for Governor, in
which the Maine statesman advises that
the Garfield Republicans of the State re-
main at home on election day and allow
FOlger to be beaten. This, it is under
stood, they will circulate, together with
the statement that Blaine sought to de-
feat Folger because he knew that if the
stalwarts got the ascendency in the State
he could not get the support of the ma
chine to secure his nomination at Chi
cago; and they will appeal to the stall
warts not to make themselves tools in the
bands Of a man who sacrificed them once
and slaughtered their candidate to pro-
mote his own personal ambitiOno

THE HIBERNIANS.
An Explanation of the Split Made by
the Regular officers.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-The following is
given out by the officials of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians as a correct state
ment Of the dispute among the members
of that body: The statement recently
published about the great benevolent or
ganization having branches in every Dor
tion of the country and known as the An
cient Order of Hibernians, was, it now
appears, founded on Misrepresentation,
The opposition to the national or
ganiZatiOn effected at the reguIer bi-en
nial convention at Cleveland proves to be
so insignificant as 60 be of no account,
and is confined almost exclusively to
some branches in this city. They say
that it has been claimed by these New
Workers for many years that all national
officers should be residents of
this city, with their office of
administration here, but the membership
of New York State and of the entire coun-
try has not acknowledged this claim, and
the convenience of the entire organization
has been promoted by the location of the
offices and electing the national officers
according to the will Of the majority with
out narrow limitations of locality. New
ork city men, in order to enforce their
pretensiOn, called what they described as
national convention" for the purpose
OF dlsclpilning the entire membership, of
which they constitute TooleY street pro-
portion.
THE SHAM CONVENTION.
The pretended national convention, It
transpires, was held in a dingy little
room, connected with saloon, with farci-
cal sOlemnity. The convention expelled
the officers elected at the regular national
convention in Cleveland Including the
national delegates, Hon. Henry +. Sheri-
dan, of Chicago, with the national Secre-
tary and Treasurer. The Brooklyn county
board of the order has held the largest
meeting since its organization, 80 divi-
sions being represented, and repudiates
the action of the New York clique, in
dorsing Sheridan and his brother officials.
Eighteen divisions of New York county
have also had meeting, and
adopted the same resolutions. The State
officers Of New York, Massachusetts.
Georgia, Missouri, Iowa, Michigan, Hi
nois, Wisconsin, and other States repu-
diate the New York clique, and stand by
the regular action of the order. The pre-
tending delegate from Illinois at the
clique convention was Joseph E. Dunn,
who, it is of record in the Chicago divis-
ion, was expelled from the order before
the clique folly was undertaken All the
national officers, all the national direct
0ry, and the predecessor of Mr.. Sheridan
at the head Of the order support him and
the regular official staff elected at Cleve-
land

$. C. POmerOy Withdraws as the Can
didate of the American Party.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Edwin D.
Bailey, Secretary Of the National Commit
tee of the American party, ''anti-secret,"
says tonight that ex-senator S. G. Pome-
roy, who was nominated for President at
the convention held in Chicago June 30
and 21 Will withdraw in favor OF Gov. St.
John.
When the convention was in session
Gov. st. Johns name was prominently
mentioned by the leaders of the party in
connection with the Presidency. 1t
was thought however that his nomi-
nation at that time would pre-
vent his securing the nomination
OF the Prohibition party at Pittsburg,
and without that the American party did
not desire his name at the head of their
ticket. A resolution was passed bv the
convention giving the National Commit
tee authority to supply any vacancy that
might occur. Next to st. John eX-Sena-
tor POmerOy was said to be the choice of
the convention. A conference was held
with the latter and at his own suggestion.
Mr.. Bailey says, it was agreed that he
should be nominated, with the under
standing that if Gov. st. John were nOmi-
udJeu III IlIlSbuTg ne would Withdraw IN
his favor. Mr.. POmerOy was present
at the Prohibition Convention and to
a number of prominent persons, after the
nomination OF Gov. st. JOhnssignified his
intention Of Withdrawing in pursuance
with the agreement at Chicago. The
National Committee of the American
party will meet either at Chicago or in
this city early in September, when their
Presidential candidate Will recommend
that the vote of the party be given to Gov.
st. John. Mr.. Bailey says that there is
no doubt but that the action of Mr.. POme-
roy will be acquiesced in. His withdrawal
in favor of Gov. st. John, it is estimated,
will give him 10000 votes through the in
fluence of the American party.

Deputy Attempts the Task but Beats
an IgnOminious Retreat.
GALVESTON, Aug. 27.-An Austin spe-
cial says: "United States Marshal Tracy
arrived here Tuesday, entered the Cover
nor's office in the evening bent on arrest
ing Gov. Ireland under a warrant issued
in the Francois miscegenatlon case. Mar
shall Tracy introduced his subject by say
ing: Governor, l suppose you know what
l am here for
"The Governor made a suitable reply.
"Marshal Tracy SAID that he regretted
the necessity that he should have to per-
form such an official duty as to arrest the
Governor of Texas aud presented his war
want. Gov. Ireland at this juncture re-
Ieved Col. Tracy by saying that he would
always cheerfully submit to a process
legal on its face, and would answer at the
court as required, but he considered that
the Marshal of the Eastern District of
Texas had no authority to serve a process
here, outside his district; that the pro-
ceedings at Galveston were without
shadow of fact upon which to base a case.
This being so, while he made no re-
sistance to the writ, and would answer as
any citizen should, he would hold Mar
shal Tracy and the others who had inter-
ested themselves in the matter, RESPONSE
bic for their conduct.
TRACY BACKS OUT.
"Marshal Tracy referred the Governor to
the United States statutes on the subject,
which the Governor declared he had
already examined, and he so explained
their tenor that Marshal Tracy, without
making an arrest, left the executive office
to consult United States Attorney Evans,
taking the warrant with him. In couple
Of hours Marshal Tracy returned and
informed the Governor that he would not
execute the writ, stating that he had had
a conference with Judge Evans, who
verbally condemned the proceeding
in strong language. In answer to
a written question bearing on the
case submitted to Judge Evans by
Marshal Tracy, the former furnished
Marshal Tracy a written opinion decIar-
ing that Tracy, as United States Marshal
of the Eastern District of Texas, has no
authority to arrest citizen resident and
found in the Western District under a
writ issued by the United States Com
missioner for the Eastern District except
in special cases. Judge Evans declares
that the charge Of a violation of section
5510 of the Revised Statutes of the United
States is not special case. Marshal
Tracy informed the Governor that he
would return to Galveston. Meanwhile
the Governor awaits the next move in this
celebrated case. 1t is understood that
Judge Evans advises that the proceedings
by Francois be dismissedv
