Revs. j. HI. Vincent and j. w.
Fitzgerald the Lucky Ones,

NEW YORK, May 22.-At the con-
ference to-day Rev. DR.. j. III. Vincent,
of the Rock River conference, and Rev.
j. w. Fitzgerald, of the New Jersey
conference, were elected bishops. DR..
Vincent was born at Tuscaloosa, Ala,
Nov. %, 1882. In 1888 he moved to
Pennsylvania. He was educated at the
Milton and Lewisburg seminaries and
at the Newark Wesleyan institute. He
was a licensed eXhorter in 1649.
and in 1850 local preacher
in the Baltimore conference. From
sey and Pennsylvania. He established
in Illinois in 1865 the Northwestern Sun
day School Quarterly. In 1868 he was
elected secretary of the Sunday school
union, a position he still occupies. In
1874 with Lewis Miller he established the
ChautauQua circle. He was at one time
the pastor of Gen. Grant. Rev. j. w.
Fitzgerald is fifty years of age, and was
born at Newark, n. j. He studied at
the Newark academy and then at

CUT AND DRIED.
Everything Ready for the Conven-
ton at Harrisburg

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 22.-The DEM
ocratic state convention will meet here
tomorrow. Congressman Scott appears
to have decided ma jority with him and
the friends of President Cleveland will
have no difficulty in directing the pro-
ceedings of the body and in naming all
of the delegates at large. The only op-
position to the programme as arranged
by Mr.. Scott and his friends to-day
comes from the friends of eX-CongresS-
men Speer, of Huntingdon county, who,
with the followers of Mr.. Randall have
been making an effort to break the slate
and defeat eX-Congressman Charles
+. Boyle, of Fayette, but this move
ment has proved failure and
the four delegates at large will be
Congressman Scott, of Erie; Hon.
Lewis G. Cassidy, of Philadelphia: Con-
gresham Mutchler, and Mr.. BOYLE.
EX-chairman of the state committee,
William III. Hensel, of Lancaster, will
be the temporary chairman, and ex-
Senator William A. Wallace, the per-
manent chairman. So sure are the
friends of the administration of being
able to control the convention that they
have prepared platform in full, which
it is expected will be adopted without
any difficulty. 1t indorses the president
and the Mills tariff bill, and is other
wise just what Congressman Scott and
his friends desire. No attention is
being paid to the judicial nomination.
and it will go hap-haZard to any one of
a half dozen candidates.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-While Mr..
O'Neill's labor bill was under discus
sion Congressman Wilson obtained the
floor and said that he opposed it because
he deemed it injudicial, even if it were
constitutional, to keep the criminals in
idleness in our prisons and compel hon
est, industrious people to pay taxes to
support them in idleness, and, as for
our youths sent to reformatories, it
would be most unwise to support them
there, thus making criminals of them.
One great object in sending them to the
reformatory is to give them trade at
which in after life they may be able to
earn an honest livelihood and become
good citizens, and if they learn trades
in these reformatories, they must earn
something, for all labor is valuable.
''If this bill is right" continued Mr..
Wilson, ''then either nothing must be
manufactured by these roughs, or else
the products of their labor must be de-
stroyed, for, if it is wrong to sell it
in another state, it is wrong to
sell it in the state where pro-
duced." But outside the question
of policy, he argued, that the law is un-
constitutional. If congress has power
to enact this law and to forbid interstate
transportation of property it may also
forbid such transportation of any other
property. 1t was suggested by Raynor,
of Maryland, that this could be dis
tinguished from other property as dis
eased property, but Wilson replied:
"There is nothing in that. This prop
erty is legally produced" 1t was also
stated that the interstate transportation
of such property might be forbidden
because it was produced by those who
are not citizens. Mr.. Wilson answered:
"This means that the sale or tranSporta-
ton of wheat or other products of our
states produced by those who are not
yet citizens of the United States might
be forbidden" TO these views he said
he could not assent, and as he had
sworn to support the constitution
of the United States he must
keep faith with himself and vote against
the bill. Judge Wilson's remarks were
received with applause, and his ready
legal and constitutional ability to an
swer inquiries elected much favorable
comment. Congressman Macdonald in
dorses Judge Wilson's speech in oppo-
sition to the convict labor bill, saying:
''It is an abSurdity easily explained to
our people. Under that bill, If it be-
comes law. every man owning one of
Sabin's reapers would be liable to arrest
and Imprisonment if he crossed the line
in Dakota to do days work over there.
The same rule applies all over the coun-
try. The bill is unconstitutional and
therefore unwise, and can never become
a law"

SETTING UP THE PINS.
Unusual Activity at Republican
HEADQUARTERS at Aupusta. Me.


AUGUSTA, Me-, May 22.-There is no
longer any doubt among the people of
Maine that every effort will be made at
the Chicago convention to nominate
James G. Blaine. Those who have
watched the faithful lieutenants of the
Maine statesman who live here see the
same detailed campaign arrangements
III progress and the same preparations
maturing that have twice before pre-
dicted Blaine canvass. 1t is here that
the headquarters of Mr.. Blaine have
always been, and the first signs of
activity in anticipation of political
struggles have made their appearance
III Augusta. AS the date of the Chicago
convention draws near, the whole
scheme for the nomination of Mr.. Blame
has been unfolded to the faithful few
whose future prospects depend upon
the success of their leader. Mr.. Blaine's
name will not be formally presented to
the convention. The first three or four
ballots
WILL BE COMPLEMENTARY
to "favorite,sons." When this respect
has been paid to half dozen prominent
candidates, Mr.. Blaine will be nomi-
mated by acclamation. This is the plan
that has been determined upon, and it
will be carried out. A correspondent
visited the Republican headquarters
over the postoffice to-day and plainly
saw the unmistakable signs of unusual
activity. Joe Manley is the chairman
of the Republican state committee, a
position he has filled for many years.
ms astute political manager, together
with few trusted lieutenants, has Mr..
Blaines's interests in his hands in his
absence. The Republican state head
quarters are elabOrately equipped with
all the machinery of modern political
warfare. Manley has his private apart
ments. and there is a large reception
room for the rank and file of the party.
On all hands are likenessess of Mr..
Blaine of all sizes-paintings. crayons,
hellotypes and steel engravings.

POLITICAL TRACTS
and documents. All of the Maine states
mans speeches and other campaign
literature are stored up in wholesale
quantities. Manley has q stenographer,
a typewriter, telegraph operator and
several extra wires ready for important
occasions, and various clerks at work
revising endless lists of names with cor
rected addresses. In large safe are
three or four dozen pigeOn-holes stuffed
tulI ol lelterS, GelegfamS ana valuable
documents. In the same safe are many
closely-written books containing data,
memoranda and campaign accounts of
former years. This systematic collec-
ton of Documents is all indeXed in the
head of Joe Manley, who knows the
political status of every man in Maine,
and knows where to look for the record
of votes for years back of every consid-
cradle town and city in the United
States. Manley sits at big desk sur
rounded by assistants and at the direc-
ton of Mr.. Blaine sets in motion the
vast machinery of the party.

THE MILLS BILL.
No Prospect Of an Immediate
Vote.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Mr. Mills
stated this afternoon that he had been
informed officially that his proposition
to have an immediate vote on the tariff
would be rejected by the Republicans.
Mr.. Mills further said that as soon as
some pressing legislation was passed by
the house the tariff bill would be taken
up anew under the five-minute rule and
passed to a final vote. Conferences
are being held nightly at the homes of
the Republican members for the pur-
pose of discussing amendments to the
measure. The Star this after
noon says: although no posi-
tive action has yet been taken
by the majority of the ways aud means
committee upon the amendments offered
by the Democratic members to the tar
iff bill, it is reported by some of the
representatives especially interested in
the woolen schedules that they have
been assured that 10y way of cOmpro-
mise the committee will accept an
amendment reducing the duty on woolen
manufactures from 40 per cent to 35 per
cent. Members of the committee de-
clined to indicate how they will act
upon the amendment which was orig
inally offered by Mr.. Grain, of Texas,
and proposed to admit wooden ma
chinery duty free and reduce the tariff
on woOlen manufactures to 25 per cent

Hanson, son of well to do old farmer
of Trempealeau county, arrived here
late last night, accompanied by his
cousin Minnie, a ffaxen-haired beauty of
eighteen. Old Mr.. Hanson is strict
disciplinarian and a church member,
and does not believe in the marriage of
cousins, but Severt and Minnie had
fallen in love, and being forbidden to
see each other again, they obtained
team yesterday and fled, driving from
Severt'S farm across the country
twenty-five miles, and never draw
ing rein till they reached the
front door of a North side hotel
in this city last night. when Severt,
in a state of great excitement, telling
the hotel clerk he couldn't say whether
he wanted two rooms or one, rushed out
to find a justice. He secured a police
man, who routed a West side justice
out of his bed. Severt and Minnie were
duly married by the magistrate. They
were iii great apprehension of pursuit,
and after the ceremony Severt clasped
his bride wildly in his arms, shouting:
you're mine now. Minnie, and dad
can't touch u.s." They are still hele
seeing the sights.

CONVICT LABOR.
The Bill Discussed in the House
Yesterday.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-In the house
to-day the floor was accold lded to the COM
mittee of labor and Mr.. O'Neill, of Mis-
souri,, called up the bill to confne the
sale of the products of convict labor to
the state in which they are produced.
Mr.. O'Neill endeavored to have an ar
rangement effected whereby debate on
the bill should be confined to two hours,
but opposition was made ON the ground
that the principle involvee in the bill
was too important to be established
without full discussion and considera-
tiOn. The majority and minority re-
ports were read at length and an hour
was thus consumed. Mr.. Cannon, of
Illinois, offered an amendment prohibit
ing the importation for commercial
purposes of all goods, wares or merchan-
disc from any foreign country to the
United States, which, in whole or part,
were manufactured or produced by con-
vict labor, and prescribing penalties for
the violation of this prohibition.
Adopted. The previous question was
then ordered-yeas, 1856; nays. 44-on
the engrossment and third reading of
the bill, and then the house adjourned.
