TARIFF CONFERENCE.

Congressman Eu..aee Gibson Engineering
the same-His Views Obtained from a
Frisnd-Another View of the scheme.
Possibility of Jolly Row.

Yesterday brought another large influx
of Democratic politicians, not members Of
the Legislature from all parts Of the State.
Most OF them came in response to the fol-
lowing letter, which was without sigma
ture as it fell into the hands Of the INTEL
MeRScER, butts said to have been sent out
by Congressman Eustace Gibson:
WAsnlSeroS, Jan. i, 1886.
DEAR SiR:-A vigorous effort Is being
made by the monopolists and protection
lists to form and consolidate party within
the Democratic ranks for the purpose OF
controlling the Democracy and thwarting
its efforts 70 bring about the much needed
revenue reform legislation and to per
petuate the present destructive tariff
system.
This action on the part OF minority
calls for prompt and efficient organization
OF all elements opposed to monopolies;
in favor OF restoring American commerce
and to this end giving us free ships, with
q large and powerful navy to protect
them-the emancipation and elevation OF
labor by opening to the markets OF the
skill and industry wrought In our factories
and won from our soil.
For this purpose suggest that we in
vite such Of our friends rs can convenient
liz do so, to meet in Wheeling on the 18th
Of January, 1885, and consult with view
10 future action to request that YOU COM
municate with such Of your friends as you
can on this short notice.

In the general talk about the political
changes upon the tariff system, DR.. Hoy
said he felt confident that il It had not
been for the open and full discus
sion by ar. Gibson Of the Demo-
cratic proposition for revenue reform
in the last Congress and the education
that the people received from that discus
sion, that "the monopolists and their
Thoroughly organized bands in the last
election would have overwhelmed the
Democratic party as they did in the cleo
ton Of 1885, on the tariff cry"
He hoped that those Democrats who
did not concur in what was known as the
theory of the tariff reformers, would cease
charging those men with being free.traders.
"What is your opinion Of Mr.. Gibson's
position as the speakership ofthe next
House?"
"Unquestionably he will vote for Car.
Isle, and were he to do otherwise It would
create displeasure among his friends in
the Fourth Congressional district"

It was not until GreenDr1ef county was
reached that the silence was broken by q
nomination. Then Dr.. McCiung named
Thomas H. Dennis. He first alluded in
tlattering terms TO his candidate, but for
got to name him. He was reminded oil his
omission after resuming hisseat, and again
rose and pronounced Mr.. Dennis's name.
Ira G. Post, OF Harrison county, rose
when Hampshire county was called, and
with brief eulogy, nominated Henry b.
Gilkeson. He alluded to the fact that the
section Of State represented by Mr.. Gilke-
son. which might be called the fortress OF
Democracy, had been ignored in making
up the late State ticket, and declared that
the Democracy of that section were the
creditors OF the party for their faithful al
lepiance, and this debt could now be paid
by choosing Mr.. Gilkeson as Speaker.
b. Fl. Oxley, OF Lincoln county, seconds

with some complimentary remarks.
/. When Ohio was called, Wilbur F. Dyer,
representing Grant and Hardy counties,
said his district had no candidates OF its

White, he said, for his active canvass in

LATEST NEWS SUMMARY.
Tho Minnesota Dofaulter Commits Suicide

Mention has been made OF the fight from
Saltwater, Mimi, OF Alderman 4. w. Kerr
and of his defalcations and frauds. The
amount which it is known that people had
suffered at the hands of Kerr were: Third
National bank, st, Paul, So 800; gas COM
pany Of Saltwater, $4, 200; water company
of Saltwater, 500; John Freemans
share OF the years business, $500, making
a total OF $4,000. The $4,000 was
collected from May, 1884, and misappro-
priated He was in charge OF the gas COM
pany's books year or SO before that date,
and it is feared he had misappropriated
from So, 900 to $1,000 Of the company's
money prior to May, 1884. Kerr
went to Quebec and Detective Kehoc
OF Chicago was sent to shadow him
and il possible make settlement.
Kerr got scent that he was being
Swallowed. Then he began to drink heavily.
kchoe and Kerr took the same train for
Halifax After some conversation with
Kehoe, Kerr seemed to become suspicious
aud attempted to leave the train just as it
was starting, but the lynx eye OF the
detective followed him and they both
embarked on the rear end OF the car.
Kehoe, being sure OF his man, ad-
dressed him flmi!iarly as Bob" The de-
ceased looked at him with astonishment.
IL
name was Kerr Deceased answered, eyes,
what do you mean? l don't understand
you!' Then kehoe said, CLARK, OF Still
water, will be here this evening, and you
may be able to fix matters with him by
restitution" Detective Kehoe invited
deceased to take seat in the sec
ond-class ear and talk the matter
over. Deceased said, Let us go into the
other car" Kehoe led the way, and when
they reached the postal car gallery, Ke-
hoe still ahead, with his back turned to
Kerr, he heard the report OF pistol
shot He turned around and saw
Kerr was in a position as il aim
ing at him. The detective then rushed
out to inform Hurpe, and said, HE
is shooting at me-" AS kehoe was talk
ing to Hurpe, he heard a second pistol shot.
Kehoe and Hurpe turning, found Kerr dead,
lying on his back with a revolver under him,
two chambers OF the revolver being empty
The intention Of Kerr was to first shoot
Kehoe and then himself. The detective only
attributes his safety to the motion OF the
cars, which were at the time turning a curve
