Hester Owners Death.

READING, Pa, June lS.-It is just
learned that the late eX-CongreSsmAn
Hester Clymer came to his death by his
own hand and not from natural causes
as indicated by his family and friends.
An attending physician says CIymct
took Il large dose OF morphine, and
fearing that it would fail in its pur-
pose attempted to cut his throat with a
butcher-knife, whereupon his wifi
screamed and tainted away. He left two
letters in which he speaks of his financial
embarrassment and the continued depre-
citation in the iron business. Under the
pressure of these and other matters his
mind gave way. The will he made some
two weeks ago leaves everything to his
widow.

BLAINE AND DORSEY.
George Bliss Denies Under Oath That
Mr.. Blaine Interfered With the
Star-Route Lists.

WAsHGNGTON, d. c., June l7.-Mr.
George Bliss appeared this morning be-
fore the Springer Committee. lie put in
considerable testi mony oral and docu-
mentary intended to refute Ker's charge
that he Bliss had been recreant in
his duty toward ex-senator Dorsey in
the first Star-route trial. Bliss had been
complimented upon his conducting the
cases, and Brewster begged him to re-
main in charge of them and Bliss give a
page of inside history regarding the re-
moval of Marshal Henry, Postmaster Bin
ger and ex-senator Spencer. On his own
responsibility Bliss asked the President
to remove these gentlemen and he did so.
The line of examination here suggesting
the rumors in regard TO eX-Secretary
Blaine having used his influence in Dor.
sey's favor, question was put: "DId
Mr.. Blaine ever request you to
favor Mr.. Dorsey" Bliss at once re-
piled that he had never since his connec-
ton with the Starroute cases spoken to
Mr.. Blaine about them, and had never
received letter from Mr.. Blaine or any
body else asking him to favor Dorsey or
any of the Star-route defendants. This
seemed to put an end to that part of the
inquiry.

FIELDS DAY.
He Explains Why He is Opposed by
California Democrats.

California Democrats.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June l5.-The
Post to-day prints an interview with
Representative Money, Of Mississippi,
concerning the Presidential candidacy Of
Justice Field, and the views of the latter
with regard to the recent action of the
California Democratic State Convention
at Stockton. The most important parts
of the interview are as follows: Learn,
ing that Representative H. d. Money
was very close to Judge Field,
a Post reporter called upon Mr.. Money
for the purpose of ascertaining what were
Fields views respecting the action OF the
Democratic State Convention OF Cali.
fornia and the editorial from the Alta
California recently photographed East by
the Associated Press. Money said he
had Just returned from visit to Judge
Field and had discussed the Altd
editorial and action of the California
convention; that Judge Field had
expressed himself substantially to this
effect: There is radical element in
California politics that alarms the con-
sentative men in that State without re-
gard to party organization, as dangerous
to the rights of property. have never
swerved from my duty to pander to that
element, which is therefore hostile to
me, but politicians have done so, and
this Is the secret OF the resolutions
which have been aimed at me- The
element does not constitute ma
jority of the Democratic party OF
California, but is large enough to intimi-
date its organization. This element re-
sented the judicial decisions OF mine, not
one of which would retract to receive
the nomination.; therefore the action OF
Chae tifornia Convention is no surprise
or disappointment to me. Most assured
ly have not deserved any support which
was not the result of an open and frank
appeal to public opinion, and, as you
know, | said months ago that | did not
expect to receive this support, and
it was so stated in the public prints.
have not sought the nomination and If
| have allowed my name to be used
it was in Difference to the opinions OF
friends in different parts of the coun-
try, who have acted without reference to
California sentiments, and the matter is
with them and not with me. | do not
suppose these gentlemen will modify
their action because they fail to receive
support in quarter where they never ex-
pected it, "

NEW YORK, June Whatever may be
the view taken at Saratoga the Demo-
cratic representatives in the House at
Washington are agreed that New York
can have the Presidential candidate if it
untes in asking for Cleveland; that
IL the State Democracy divide
their support, or present any other
man, the nomination will go to some
other State, and finally, that Cleveland Is
by far the strongest candidate that can
be named at Chicago. How far this
opinion on the part of the Democrats in
Washington will prevail at Saratoga, can
not be ioretold, but it clearly agrees with
the most trustworthy information from
other parts of the country. Flower is

Flowers Popularity-His Real Motive
Cleveland's straightforward
ton Gossip.

SARATOGA, June l8.-The city is alive
with delegates this morning Roswell
+. Flower is the center of attraction and
the oracle of consultation. He appears
satisfied with the outlook. His lleuten.
ants claim to be able to control the Con.
yention. Well-informed observers think
the claim premature. 1t is an
nounced, as the result Of sew
eral conferences, that Tammany and
the county Democrats will be given equal
representation in the convention. 1t is
also stated that this was made con-
ditlonally upon Tammany's pledge TO
vote for Cleveland. Cleyeland's men are
very confident that they have the power
to control the convention. The State
Committee re-assembed at 1880 a. III.
Nothing OF Importance was done, the
heavy work having been completed last
evening.
The Tammany strength is not likely to
crystallze either here or at Chicago, and
they have no candidate as body, though
the Flower men expect to draw largely
upon that gentleman's popularity.

The Tammany Hall men are up in arms
They positively refuse to go into the Con-

sends its action of last night and gives

county Democracy, the apportionment
being as adopted: County DemOc-
racy, 3S; Tammany, "a; Irving Hall, 10.
They say they will not 60 before the
Committee on Credentials. They hold a
meeting at nine O'Clock TO receive au
answer 10 their ultmatum. If not favor
able they declare that they will return to
New York on their special train this
afternoon. The general sentiment of
the country delegates seems TO be
that the committee has made scri-
Gus mistake. The State Committee ex-
cuses itself on the ground that d contra
ry action would be usurpation Of the au-
thority of the Convention and that there
was no precedent for the proposed ac-
ton. One of John Kelly's most trusted
friends AYERS that Kelly has declared
his intention 10 have Tammany bolt
the convention, owing TO the action
OF the State Committee last night in the
appointment OF relative representation
of the three Democratic factions of New
York city. Kelly declared positively to
the reporter that if the Convention up
holds the appointment of delegates from
New York, the Tammany Hall delegates
will not enter the Convention, but will
take the first train for home.

A sigh of relief went up from 500 Tam
many breasts, making even the blue
badges piuned to their coat lappels
culver with emotion when John Kelley
announced this morning that all was
satisfactorily arranged. The braves were
crowded in corner OF the piazza OF
the Grand Union, peeping in at the
sachems who were seated around the
council table. Judge Hilton having
opened the hotel week in honor of the
occasion. The leaders looked grim in
their war paint, and the secretaries,
Messrs. Gilroy and Hoolahan, appeared
considerably impressed with the solemn
ity of the occasion. Then the big chief
said that it was voted that Tammany
should have their thirty delegates in the
convention. The State Committee hay
ing declared its inability to change
the proportion Of representation from
New York, fixed at the former conven-
ton, Mr.. Kelly said the remedy was to
come from the convention itself and it
was limited that resolution to be offered
by eX-CorporatiOn Counsel Whitney in the
convention would give Tammany what it
demands. Thereupon the braves lifted up
theirvoices in exultation at the prospect
of becoming ms instead of outs and would
have INDUCED in war dance if the rules
of the hotel had permitted. Then u
couple of hours more were given to them
to relieve their overcharged emotions,
and once more the brass band summoned
them to the piazza to select twenty-four
delegates who were authorized by the
State Committee last night, the choice OF
six additional members being left to the
favored two dozen.
