Nominate Judge Green for Governor and
Make n Strong Platform.
TRENTON, y, j.. September 2S.-The
Democratic State Convention met here to-
day The committee on permanent or
ganizatiOn reported for permanent Chair
man Allen \. McDermOtt, together with
list of Vice Presidents and Secretaries.
The committee on resolutions presented q
platform. 1t reaffirms the doctrine
laid down in the national platform at Chi
cagO; endorses the administration of Presi-
dent Cleveland; eongratulates the country
on the success of the party in! reducing
taxation and the cost government; express
es sorrow ut the deaths of Grant, McClel-
Ian, Seymour, Hendricks and Tilden and
SAYS: THAT in the death OfSamuelJ j. Til
den the people have lost q sincere friend and
devoted statesman, that the national grief
which accompanied his body to the tomb
contrasted with the general contempt OF
the public for his competitor in the Presi-
DENTAL election of 1S76, and attests the
love of the American people for the prin-
eiple of right and Justice and their abhor-
renee of fraud" 1t demands the enforce
ment of the immigration laws so as to alb
solutely exclude convict and pauper labor;
sympathizes with the wOrkingmen Of the
country, and recognizes the justness OF
their complaints against inyidiOus leglsla-
tive distinction, which have meen made IN
favor of consolidated capital. Labor and
capital should be friends seeking conf
mon prosperity, and to the end that this
friendship may be promoted we favor leg
islative encouragement of the principles OF
arbitration. We applaud the heroic
work of Gladstone and Parnel, in their
struggle to obtain for the people of Ire
land the right of self government. Those,
who, in any quarter of the globe are EN-
deavoring to break the chains OF tyranny
and oppression, We tender our cheers and
hopes.
The convention then proceeded to the
nomination of Judge Robert Green, OF
Union.

SCARED THEM ALL.
A Rumor That Terrified New York's Doodle
Aldermen.

A Rumor That Terrified New YOrk's Doodle
Aldermen.
New YORK, September, 2S.-The ru-
mored arrival of "Billy" Maloney in the
city on French steamer yesterday was one
of the most startling surprises to some of
local politicians. The Aldermen Who are
under indictment, and who have been no.
titled to appear for trial in November, inn
mediately sent out to confer with their
bondsmen, but rs MalOney did not come
the Doodle Aldermen can draw their breath
freely. The most terrified man among
those indicted was Jim" Richmond,
President of the Broadway Railroad. 1t
will be remembered that he testified only
under a threat of imprisonment by Sena-
tor Low, during the investigation by the
Senate Committee that he received bonds
amounting to $135, 900 without any con-
sideration whatever from Jake Sharp. This
testimony was given in the annex to
the New York Hotel on Mercer street and
Waverls place, and formed the basis of eX-
Senator Conkling's fierce attack on the So
called Broadway Railroad Company in Al
bany before the Legislative Committee.

SWITCHMEN STRIKE.
They Go Out for More Pay On Many Lines
at Cincinnati.

AT Cinclnuatt.
CINCINNATI, September 2S.-FOr sever
al days the railroad switchmen here have
been taking steps toward an increase OF
wages. They are now paid Sl.9O and s.
per day. They have not in all cases made
definite demands, but have asked for an
increase without indicating precisely how
much. This afternoon the matter cul-
minated in q strike of the Cincinnati,
Washington & Baltimore, the Ohio
& Mississippi, the Cincinnati, Ham
ilton & Dayton switchmen. The
strike was not general, but may be SO
tomorrow. The Cincinnati, Washington
& Baltimore trains-freight and passenger
were all sent out on time to-day, and the
company does not feel troubled about the
situation. The Cincinnati, Indianapolis,
st. Louis & Chicago road offered s.. 10 per
day to their men and no strike has as yet
begun there. The Cincinnati Southern has
also made an offer to their men of slight in
crease, and it is possible there may be no
trouble. All the roads are having heavy
business and strike just now would be
oppressive.

should refuse to license the traffic in the
District of Columbia and in the Terrific

4th, That the sale of liquor in the Capt.
tol at Washington and in the Soldiers
Homeat Dayton, Ohio, is a shame to our
nation.

c. Haddock, of Sioux City, Iowa, appeals
to our hearts, and we express our sympathy
for the bereaved family and declare our
purpose but intensified to overthrow this
common enemy that would fain strike
down every heroic and courageous minister

fatal shot, but the lawless traffic against
which Bro. Haddock labored, and also the
officials who had sworn to execute the laws
in Sioux City.
9th. That we favor scientific instruc-

public schools, and we call upon the next
Legislature in our State to make the teach

to principle of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, and pledge this organ

b. We rejoice in the rapidly growing
sentiment against the drink traffic as seen
by the agitation in every part of the land,

shall be united against this common foe.
C. We endorse and heartily commend
to our people the. following utterance OF
our General Conference of 1884, as re-
corded in paragraph 554 of the Discipline:
''We hold that the proper attitude OF
christians toward the traffic is one of un-
compromising opposition, and while we do
not presume to dictate to our people as to
their political affiliations, we do express
the opinion that they should not allow
themselves to be controlled by party or
CARNATIONS that are managed in the in
terest of the liquor traffic"

mon, dated Chicago, September p, in
which he says in reference to the outbreak
of pleuro-pneumonia in that city: since
telegraphing you l have had the watch
strengthened at the infected stables to pre-
vent animals from being removed. There
are twenty-nine men now employed, max
ing an expense of nearly $50 day. This
was necessary in order to give the State
Board time to decide what disposition
could be made Of the cattle. L regard the
quarantine now us perfectly safe. 1t Is

this force, which need not be employed

LONDON, September 2S.-The Standard
saws: "Parncll has declared war in char
acteristic style. The most charitable
view that can be taken of the Fitz Gerald
letter is that it is not Parnells compost
tion. How he was betrayed into putting
his name to such an outbust is mystery.
The appetite of his American paymastcrs
must be coarse. indeed, II it need season
ing of this fiery kind. IL is 80 ludicrous
in its extnvagancc and mendacity that
nobody endowed with ordinary reason
will give it second thought. Though
it may answer its purpose, Parnell will
pay dearly for it in English opinion. We
loresee a time when ii may be convenient
70 ignore the document altogether.

SHOT IN HIS CORNFIELD.
Two Masked Men Attempted to Rob and
Murder an Old Farmer.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2S.-A special from
Paola, Kansas, says: J. Utely, a bachelor
farmer living in OsatawOmie township, near
the Franklin county line, aged about 60
years, while in his field between 9 and IL
O'Clock, cutting corn, was accOsted by two
masked men with pointed revolvers de-
manding his surrender and the hiding place
of his money. The old gentleman refused
to surrender and tell where his money was
kept, whereat the wOuld-be murderers be-
gan firing at their victim, sending five shots
at him, only one taking effect, the laSt one
ofwhich inflicted dangerous wound Mr..
Utely is now reported to be in dying con-
ditiOu. Two young men, Thomas Cham
berlain and John Boyer, the suspected
murderers, sons of two of the victims
neighbors, were arrested and confined in
the Jail in this city. If Mr.. Utely should
uol recover they will doubtless be lynched,
as the greatest excitement already prevails
over the matter.

Amdavits In support of the Anarchists.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-It is stated that
some of the affidavits to be presented to
Judge Gary on Friday, in support of the
Anarchists, will relate to an alleged prelu-
dice on the part of certain Jurors. The
affidavits will swear to statements or re-
marks made by these jurors before the trial
to the effect that the Anarchists should be
hanged anyhow, whether connected with
the throwing of the bomb or not. The at
torneys for the defense, however, it is
claimed, have no hope of the motion being
granted, and will reserve their more elab-
orate arguments for the Supreme Court.
