pennsyVvauia Democrats.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. lit has
been defnately settled that ex-Congress-
man Elliott will be permanent chairman of
the Democratic state convention. The Wig
orous contest which is being Waged for the
head of the ticket has thrown all secondary
questions in the shade. The following
ticket as one likely to he nominated is be-
ing discussed late tonight: For governor,
Lieut.. Gov. Black; for lieutenant governor,
f. B. Ricketts,; secretary of internal affairs,
j. Simpson Africa; congressman at large,
Max Stevenson. Wallace's chance for
governor seemed, however. to be almost
if not quite as good as Blacks. The Wal
lace men declare that no dark horse can be
nominated. Said their most conspicuous
leader tonight: ''It will be Black or Wal
lace. Wewill vote for Black sooner than
a compromise candidate. and have as
surauces that the Black men are deter
mined that no attempt at compromise shall
succeed" This seems to be the situation
now. The building Of platform prom
ises to give trouble. Half dozen Of them
have been brought here and generally agree,
except on three points, the tariff, the liquor
question and anti-discrimination.

BEFORE TIE FIGHT.

The political situation at KasSon, so
graphically described by the GLOBE CORE
spondent, has reached a very interesting
climax. The forces Of the contendirg can
didates are we'll in hand, but when the con-
vention opens to-day the two who will cen
ter in themselves the interest of the dele
gates and spectators will be Messrs. WHITE
and LOVELY, although the possibility of a
compromise candidate is not yet eliminated.
These two. however, are nip-and-tuck with
the advantage, according to the number Of
delegates to be surely counted upon,
slightly in Mr.. LovELY's favor, but waver-
ing towards Mr.. WHITE when the contin-
gency Of break is considered. AS it now
stands MI. LOVELY lacks six votes of the
nomination and Nh. WHITE nine. The
closest figuring the former can do leaves
him one vote short Of the coveted prize,
while the latter can count up very comfort
ably just sufficient number to nomi-
nate him, unless complications limited
at should take place. While the
margin is SO small that the dark horse
would seem to be permanently retired to
the stables. it is yet possible that dead
lock may occur. But in that emergency
Mr.. DUNNELL will be conveniently at hand
with his cohorts and ready to blushingly
accept the honor Of the nomination in the
interests of harmony and peace. The most
plausible supposition is that after very few
ballots his strength will drift away to the
support of WHITE and LOVELY in an
almost equal division, with the advantage,
if any, in favor of the former. This in adj
dition to the Wabasha delegation, which
WHITE claims solidly, will be sufficient to
nominate that gentlemen, and unless the
LOVELY men succeed in capturing Waba-
sha delegate, the purpose to which all their
energies are now directed, they will proba-
bly, be called upon to-day to congratulate
the present congressman upon his re-nomi-
nation.

DAKorA,s NEXT GOVERNOR,

The next Democratic territorial conyen-
ton which meets in Dakota will possess
unusual interest if the president intends,
as reported, to appoint the delegate then
nominated, in case he fails of election, to
the territorial governorship. And that
would probably be as good method of
selecting a governor as any. With the
proviso definitely before them that their
candidate for congress might become their
governor, the people of Dakota would
exercise more than usual care in
the selection of nominee who would oc-
cupy the unique position of winning which
ever way the election might go. The man
thus indicated would undoubtedly more
nearly represent the choice of the people
than a governor appointed in the ordinary
manner, and, besides being thoroughly
representative man, would be nominated
upon platform requiring him to identify
himself exclusively with Dakot as
interests. While it is well that
It should be known what is in
store for the nominee, that man with
the proper qualifications may be presented.
still that fact should not permit Dakotians
to let the congressional race go by default
There area good many Democrats in Da-
kota. far more than there were two years
ago. and if the proper sort of an effort is
made in favor OF the right kind OF man,
and there are many such III the territory,
there is very good chance for the retire

The Afghan Question.

LONDON, Aug. ,17.-The cabinet sat to-
day from noon until o'clock. The queens
speech was considered and approved. The
Afghan difficulty was also discussed. 1t is
understood that Col. Rjddleway of the
British Afghan commission has been re-
called because he felt that the difference
between Russia ard England had better be
dealt with by the foreign office. The Pail
Mall Gazette says it is glad that the
Afghan commission has been recalled, as it
will hasten a settlement of the question Of
the ownership of Khomias, which Russia
claims by direct negotiations between Lon
don and st. Petersburg. The st. James
Gazette says the question is as far from
settlement as it was fifteen months ago.
Russia claims KhomiaS and the Afghans re-
fuse to give it up. A conflict is likely to
occur al any moment, the Gazette says and
it rests with England to say what it will
and can do to prevent its allies from being
plundered. The task of Lord Iddlesleigh,
foreign secretary, will be easier when he is
relieved of this useless and embarrassing
commission.
The report that the government had de-
cided upon the immediate withdrawal of
the Afghan boundary commission is ot1ici-
ally denied. The government is
AWAITING RUssIA's REPLY
respecting small portion Of the Afghan
boundary not yet settled in the Oxus dis
trict. Until the reply has been received no
decision will be taken respecting the date of
the withdrawal OF the commissions, but
whatever may be the nature of the reply,
the commission will return to India before
the winter. In spite of the official denial it
is believed in well-informed circles that the
Standard is virtually correct in stating that
the government has asked Russia for yes or
no reply. 1t is not likely, however, that
such reply will be given. A dispatch
from Smla says that the British-Afghan
commission will return to India in Septem-
Der, via Cabul.

THE THIRD STREET BRIDGE.

1t Is to be hoped there will be no further
delay in the matter of building the APP
proaches for the Third street bridge. The
have been built long since. Since the
question of the responsibility for construct
ing the approaches has been determined,
there remains no excuse for delay either on
the part of the city or the railroads. The
latter have asserted their willingness to be-
gin work on the Superstructure as soon as
the approaches are ready, and they should
be given no cause for dilatoriness. 1t is
only by great good fortune that the veritable
death-trap formed when the railways cross
the street, has not already claimed numerous
victims. Every day it is permitted to ex-
ist increases the liability of accidents oc-
curing, and it is almost inconceivable how
it could have been SO long endured. It is
natural that the property owners on
the bluff should object to the payment of
an assessment for constructing the ap-
proaches for the bridge after an appropri-
alton had been made, supposedly large
enough to cover the cost, but in the imme-
date demand for the bridge and the est-
mated cost OF Its construction beyond the
amount appropriated, no option was lett
the board of public works but to provide
the necessary additional funds in that way.
The best plan for the bluff residents
would seem to be ready acquiescence
in the boards action, in order that
the work may not be delayed, and then ap-
peal to the proper quarter for relief. In
fact this is the only course open to them, as
the courts have already determined the
right of the board to levy such assessme hts.
There is no doubt however, that the i'm
provement contemplated is one of benefit to
the entire city and should the property
owners assessed make an appeal on that
basis for remuneration, it would stand a.
very good chance of being allowed. In the
meanwhile the work of construction should
not be hindered

Il IN THE ADlRoNDACKs.
The President and His Party Arrive
atTheir Eleaaure Gr0unds.

atTheir Pleasure Grounds.
PROSPECT HOUSE, Adirondacks. N. Y,
Aug. 1.-THE presidents party arrived
here at 4 o'clock this afternoon after an I'M
eventful ride from Albany. The party con-
slsts of President and Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs.
Folsom and DR.. Samuel B. Ward of Albany.
The midnight train on which they left Al
bany last night was an hour late in reach
ing Plattsburgh. Upon reaching Rouse's
Point this morning the party was
within mile and a half of
the Canadian line. A special engine aud
single baggage car were coupled to the
presidents car at the Point and It was
quietly pulled out of sight, greatly to the
establishment of several enterprsing gen.
tlemen who had been sitting up all night
watching for that car, with the determine
ton of sticking closely to it until it reached
it's destination. At MORA, ON the Ogdens-
burg & Lake Champlain railroad, the
special was switched Off OIL the Northern
Adirondack railroad and was drawn into
the wilderness a distance Of thirtyfour
miles. AS the president and his wife
stepped upon the platform of their car to
leave the train the MORA brass band began
to play, and an hour later when the regular
tram came along the band was still playing.
A seven-miles' stage ride brought the party
to Paul Smiths. Mr.. Smith provided lunch,
and the party, without leaving their
carriages. ate the second meal of the day
while waiting for the exchange of horses.
Seventeen more miles of carriage riding
brought them to the Saranac inn, formerly
the Prospect house, and they were given
quarters in cottage adjoining the hotel.
They will take their meals with the other
guests in the public dining-room. Tonight,
at Mrs. Cleveland's request, the whole
party were rowed over the lake by two
trusty guides.

. WARNING FACTIONS.

Since the publication of the date fixing
the Republican primaries for next Friday
and calling the county convention to elect
delegates to the state convention for next
Saturday, there has been deal of con-
fusion in the Republican camp and even
signs of rebellion have appeared. The
brethren are far from dwelling together in
unity. On the one hand one wing, through
its organ, asserts it has been duped shame
fully, wantonly deceived, taken in and done
for, while the faction which is accused of
doing the duping remains in state of
smiling serenity, indicative of the conscious
possession of an advantage which the other
faction is only sorry it didn't get. Briefly
explained, the friends of Farmer GILMAN
think their candidate was not fairly treated
in the arrangement of primaries at such
near date that Candidate MCGILJ. alone will
be able thoroughly to prepare for them,
and they. want it understood that SO
far from approving of the arrangement.
they regard it as the worst possible kind of
sharp practice. All of which is very anus
ing to the McGILL men. 1t looks very
much as though Farmer GILMAN's con-
coded ability as wire puller had failed
him in this instance, or perhaps his less ex-
perienced opponent has been taking lessons
in the art from masters of it who could
even, as in the present case, show the
farmer candidate a thing or two. In any
event Candidate GILMAN has been very
neatly outwitted. But the indignant protests
against this form of political acuteness come
with very bad grace from the supporters of
man who has always been distinguished
for being as thoroughly conyersant with
political ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain' as BRET HARTE's Heather
Chinee was with the best method of ma
nipulatiDg the cards to his personal advan-
tage. So there is very discordant note
in the Republican orchestra, and the chorus
leaders, or at least one of them, are singing
sadly out of time, while harmony has re-
tired for the present to the background. A
state of affairs of course highly dstre ssing
to the peace loving Democrats.

The Efsadock Murder.
Special to the Globe.

CpSCldl " Iuc
SIOUX CITY, Ia, Aug. 17.-The Had
dock coroner's jury was in session all day,
but the same stolid silence is maintained
and the public know nothing as to what was
developed. Attorney D. w. Wood. who
has conducted the Injunction proceedings
for the Prohibitionists, was seen to-day
and says in an interview that the secrecy
on the part of the jury is retarding
matters greatly and hindering the capture
of the rest of the criminals. AS the inves-
tigation is now conducted no one outside,
save possibly q few city officials, know
anything about what has developed at the
inquest, aud hence captures are delayed.
Wood further states that as far as he could
ascertain the real murderers OF Rev. MIR.
Haddock are further from capture to-day
than on the morning after the muir
dsr. A verdict was looked for al
day, but it was not reached,
Hsnce nothing is definitely known MOI 9 than

summons on him in a legal proceeding to
stop him from cultivatng the land and
Vinson ran him off with shot
gun and said he would kill any
one who attempted to serve the sum-
mons. Young, who was on good
terms with Vinson, then volunteered to
serve it. and was accompanied by several
neighbors who hid in the cornfeld to see
the fun, " as they termed it. When Young
announced to Vinson his errand, Vinson
fired at him, killing him instantly, twenty
five buckshot entering his body. Vinson
fled to the hills but afterwards surrendered
and he was placed in Jail at Brokenbow IN

CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-Delegates to the
Irish national league were arriving in great
numbers during the day and tonight it is
estimated that fully 1000 are on the
ground, There was active canvassing
about the hotel Hobbies respecting the cleo
ton of officers, but neither element
in the convention laid bare its hand
That there will be sharp passage on the
convention floor appears now to be assured.
An evening paper says that the representa-
tlveS from ireland are placed in all eX-
tremely delicate position. They will be
waited upon by representatives of both re-
ceptton committees. and upon their action
in the acceptance of the invitations of
either party will be foreshadowed the sue
cess or failure of the other at the conven-
ton. MIR. Davitt is said to be greatly an
noyed by the Ogden Grove declarations,
and has positively declined to interfere in
the disputes, even with view to their ad-
juStment. 1t is therefore certain that
The matter must be fought out on the floor
of the convention. The signal for the on
slaught will be the nomination of Alexander
Sullivan for the presidency. 1t is under
stood that will be done in order to give the
latter gentleman all opportunity of refusing
it as a vindicatiou of his character, and the
opportunity will be utilized for the prom
ised exposures. Mr.. John +. Finertys
name is favorably mentioned as President
Egan's successor. Others are combating
his nomination in view of his recent utter
ances. Mr.. Finerty himself says he does
not desire his name to be put forward.
With regard to his speech in Ogden's grove,
he has made statement which speaks of
the policy of Parnell and Davitt as de
generate" He wants Ireland to fight
England in a safe" manner, and closes as
follows:
Whenever an 1rishman is brave enough
and magnanimous enough to take the risk of
terrifying the enemies OF his country and his
race, let such of US as may not be able to APP
prove OF his action at least remain silent. and
leave the denunolaton Of him to those against
whom he has raised his hand.
The convention will meet this afternoon at
O'Clock in Central music hall which has
been appropriately decorated for the occa-
! sion. The train bearing the Irish parlia-
mentary delegates, Messrs. John Z. Red
mond, W. III. o Brien and James Deasy, was

Dreamer. say, will you dream for me
wild, sweet dream of foreign land,
Whose border sips of foaming sea
With lips OF coral aud silver sand;
Where warm winds loll on the shady deeps,
Or lave themselves in the fearful mist,
The great wild wave of the breaker weeps
Ger crags of opal and amethyst?
Dreamer, say, will you dream dream
OF tropic shades in g land of shine
Where the lily leans DER an amber stream
That flows like rill of wasted wine;
Where the palm trees lift their shields of green
Against the shafts of the Indian sun,
Whose splintered vengeance falls between
The reeds below where the waters run?
Dreamer, say, will you dream of love
That lives in a land OF sweet perfume,
Where stars drip down from the skies above
In molten splatters of bud and bloom,
Where never the weary eyes are wet,
And never a sob in the balmy air,
And only the laugh of the paroqcet
70 break the sleep of the silence there?

Present Whom Parliament opens.
LONDON Aug. 17.-Mr. Parnell has re-
QueSted all the Irish members of parliament
to be present on Thursday at the reassem-
bling Of parliament. He says that in view
Of the grave and pressing condition of pub
lie affairs it is very necessary that there
should be full attendance of the Irish
contingent. The Dublin Freeman's Jour-
nal says: MI. ParnelFs summons shows
that the Parnellites do not intend to await
the convenience of the ministry in dealing
with the Belfast riots, and the alarming
condition Of the Irish farmers. Lord Sails
bury must explain how he intends to meet
the contingency of the inability of the
farmers to pay their rents, and he will be
called upon to declare the policy he intends
to substitute for that now in vogue. The
government intends to introduce in this
session of parliament measure giving
local government to Ireland on the basis of
the plan prepared by Lord Randolph
Churchill. The Harrington party will sup
port the scheme.
Mr.. Gladstone will neither initiate nor
prolong discussion with reference to Ire
land in the debate in the address in reply
to the queens speech. His followers acqi-
esce in this decision. Although the speech
from the throne will not indicate Lord Sal
isbury's Irish policy. it is understood that
either Lord Randolph Churchill or Sir
Michael Hicks-B Beach during the debate
will intimate that measure will be intro
duced next year dealing with
THE IRISH LOCAL GOVERNMENT
and land questions. The Gladstonians will
accept such intimation as sufficient pledge
for the present. but the Parnellites appear
to be determined to press for details, in
which event lengthy discussion will prob
ably ensue. AS soon as the address has
been adopted the government will move
that the supply bills have precedence. 1t is
believed that, notwithstanding the expected
action Of the Parnellites. the house will be
prorogued on Sept. 10 until the first week
in November. when, unless some untoward
events should occur, it will be further por-
rogued until the beginning of February.
The government whips have advised the
Conservatives that it will be useless to give
notice OF the introduction of new bills in
the present session and that no private
business will be discussed.
). The Daily News says: >
Should the Irish delegates at Chicago fail
to expsl the advocates Of dynamite, the
whole world will regard tue convention with
indignant contempt. The dynamiters can
best be dealt with with rope. If Rosa was
hung the world would be rid of a cowardly
knaTe. The chief Interest in the Chicago
convention, however, ceuters in the fact that
the Irish delegates have resolutely set their
faces, not only against dynamiters, but
against violence in any shape.
