THE ANARCHISTS.
Further Arguments in Support of the
Motion for q New Trial. .--zs

Eurther Arguments in Support of the
Motion for q New Trial. II
CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-The criminal court
room was crowded To-Day when the argu-
ments on the motion for a new trial for the
seven condemned anarchists was renewed
Capt. Black read copiouS extracts from
queries propounded by the jurors and rul-
ings of the court. He urged that the de-
tense was compelled to accept as jurymen
those who had read OF the Haymarket
tragedy. and contended that the defense
had a double labor to perform in disabusing
the minds of men who had already acquired
opinions as to the supposed guilt of the ae-
cused. The speaker quoted numerous de-
clslons in support of the view that
the accused should be accorded a
new trial owing to the alleged irregularity
observed in obtaining the jury. The re-
mainder Of Capt. Blacks argument was de-
voted to the claim that the court erred in
refusing to grant separate trials as prayed
for on behalf of the defendants. Mr. Solo
mon, associate counsel for the anarchists,
then commenced speaking. He urged that
the evidence had failed to support the in
dictment, that the state had attempted to
prove three different kinds of conspiracy,
that these conspiracies, were inconsistent
with each other, and that the evidence pro-
Uuced, if it proved anything, proved only
that a conspiracy existed to incite tumult.
Mr.. Solomon will resume his argument TO-
morrow morning.

for prescription was delegation from the
young mems Republican club. These were
5. A. Phillips, Henry Johns and Henry l..
Williams. They complained that one Of
the judges for the primaries last night
was not going to give them square deal.
In fact, they told Mr.. Stanford Newell
that one OF the judges had announced that
he proposed ito see that delegation for
Will Nichols for clerk of the court, was
sent in from his caucus" This they said
was not right; it was not in accordance
with the great principles of the American
government as laid down in the declaration
of independence and the constitution Of
their club. They wanted something done
about it. Mr.. Stanford Newell, who had
mixed medicine for just such cases before,
told them to go away and play and not let
such little things as that interfere with any
of their games, adding that they would I'M
derstand such things better when
they were older. This seemed to
satisfy them and they went out,
while Newell went back to work with
Mr.. Fletcher This was the first episode
OF the campaign.
During the afternoon Theodore Roosevelt,
Of New York, who left politics for cattle
ranch, came in and called on Stanford
Newell. He was taken into the holy of

will be outlined from within the four walls
of the committees rooms. They will tn ere
arrange for speakers and then consider the
various campaign documents. A number
of speakers have been written to, but at
this date it is impossible to give list of
those who will do the stumping. During
yesterday afternoon there were many call,
ers. Gen. Flower was in demand by sew
eral, who said they had been informed at the
capitol that his Office had been moved to
this spot. Mr.. Heatwole sat at his desk
nearly all the afternoon arranging his sta
tionery and occasionally licking postage
stamp for an envelope. The colored man
who asks the visitors what are their names
and shows them to the man they want to
see, was kept pretty busy and the wire
workers inside looked wise and said that
there was nothing new"

A Lively Time Anticipated When the
Convention Meets--Quiet at
the CaucuSeS.
To Nominate "a County Ticket.


The Republican county convention will
assemble this forenoon at IL o'clock, for
which the delegates were elected last even
ing. With few exceptions the primaries
were very dull. In the court house precinct
of the Second ward there was the usual
contest, and warm one. When the polls
closed, one of the judges took the ballot
box under his arm and carried it to his
room to count the votes after supper. The
result was that his side won, and there will
be the customary centeSting delegation
from that precinct. In the primary in the
First precinct of the First aldermanic dis
trict of the Fifth ward the squabble was so
even that part OF each ticket was elected.
At one caucus in the Third ward $40 votes
were polled, and at one in the Fourth $40,
and apart from these the voting was very
light even where there were contesting
tickets. There was no opposition ticket
in the Sixth and Seventh wards. On the
West Side NJ. j. Bell, candidate for regis
ter of deeds, had things his own way. AS
he was the only candidate residing there
all the others let him alone. The result is
that six delegates are for Bell, first, last
and all the time, and Will do whatever is
in his interest, trading with any candidate

the preferences of many of the delegates
for the reason that
THEY ARE NOT PLEDGED
to more than one candidate and will become
common trading stock. AS far as can be
gathered, however, from the returns, the
chances are very strongly in favor of the
nomination of NJ. j. Bell for register of
deeds, w. A. Nichols for clerk of the
court and George A. Rennz for treasurer.
There will be hot fight for sheriff, the
forces of Chapel and Richter being pretty
well balanced, and this will probably be
the principal contest of the convention.
There is complete change in the condi-
tions regarding the auditors Office. A. n.
Nelson refuses to be candidate for
auditor. j. j. McCardy has declined, ]. E.
Osborne has also refused to be a candidate
for register of deeds, and as this leaves the
ticket without enough Scandinavian bal
ance to catch much of that vote, the name
of G. A. Sandstrom will be presented to the
convention. He will accept if nominated.
The question of legislative candidates cut
very little figure at the caucuses. but in G.
u. Gilfllan's district there seemed to be a
feeling in favor Of returning him to the
senate. For probate judge, the contest lies
between Burr and Williams, with chances
in favor of the former. II, B. Willis will
probably be chairman of the convention.
