have considered their cases very carefully,
and have done under all circumstances that
which we thought was right II may be that
in some instances our judgment will not con-
form to some of yours, or to the gentlemen
who have not been admitted TO this cOnven-
ton, but am glad TO say that the committee
have at last come to a unanimous accord,
and we hope that the report will be as unani-
mously adopted by this convention.
When the adoption of the report of the
committee on credentials was before
the convention j. r. Place moved that
the delegation from Traverse county be
excepted.
The chairman ignored the motion, put
the report before the convention, and it
was adopted unanimously.
j. r. Place. would like this matter
settled
The Chairman-The matter has been
decided.
j. r. Place-But we represent the Re-
publicans of Traverse county, and we
don't want to be knocked out by any
PrOhibitionist candidates.
The chairman-The report Of the
committee is adopted.
j. r. Place-All right. we will see
about this next fall.
G. l.. LOman, Of Ramsey rose to q
point of order. The gentleman moved
an amendment to the report of the COM
mittee on credentials, which the chair
man did not recognize when putting the
adoption of that report to the conven-
ton.
The Chairman-Yes; because the
chair was informed that the gentleman
was not a delegate to the convention.
II. Stevenson said according to the
rules governing deliberative bodies, the
amendment should have been placed be-
fore the delegates.
The Chairman-The chairman has no
objection to motion to reconsider the
whole question.
c.. Loman-Then move that the
motion be recOnsidered.
This was unanimously agreed to.
G. l.. LOman-I move that the report
of the committee on credentials be
accepted and adopted, with the eXcep-
ton of Traverse county.
The motion was adopted.
The Chairman-The question is now
the adoption of that part OF the report
referring to Traverse county.
Loud CrIes-Question, question.
j. M. ID. Craft-Mr. Chairman, what
is the matter with Traverse county?
The Chairman-The committee on
credentials have reported unanimously
IN FAVOR OF Lne report, WHICH Is HoW pO-
fore the convention. If you vote
"aye" you vote to adopt the unanimous
report of the committee; but if you vote
''no'' you will vote otherwise.
j. NJ. d. Graft-But what we want to
know is what Is the trouble with
Traverse county.
J. r. Place-They are not the regular

Senator Hickson-There is no trouble
about Traverse county. This little

SPOKANE FALLS, w. T., Sept. S.
The Democratic territorial convention,
which assembled here to-day, was called
to order by the Hon. p. JudsOn, of
Tacoma, who was elected temporary
chairman. Subsequently B. L. Sharp
stein, of Walla Walla, was elected
permanent chairman. Considerable
contest resulted over the Sc
lection of territorial cen
trail committee. The committee on
platform reported a very elaborate
document. They indOrse the admins
tration and the platform of the national
Democratic convention, then touch
upon the fishery question, the Repub-
licans in congress, the land question,
four or five railroad problems such as
freightS, fares and passes, the eight
hour problem. the annexation prob
lem, the importation of Chinese,
the admission of the territory
into the Union, the improvement of
rivers and harbOrS and several other
questions. The platform was adopted
unanimously. For the nomination as a
delegate to congress the name of j. j.
Browne, or spokane, was proposed, but
withdrawn at once and Charles S. Voor-
hees presented amid great enthusiasm.
He was renOminated by reclamation.
Mr.. voorhees, was then brought in
and addressed the convention.
Several ratification speeches were
made. c. ii. Warner was elected chair.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-After further
discussion of the Chinese bill in the
senate to-day, an attempt to reach a
vote was unsuccessful, owing to the
lack of a quorum. Mr.. Sherman offered
a resolution which was adopted request
ing the president to inform the senate
whether the recent treaty with China
he'd been ratified by the Emperor of
China. He thought it due to the dig
nifty of the senate and the orderly trans
action of public affairs that the
senate should have this in
formation before proceeding further
with the Chinese bill. Mr.. Allison pre-
scented the conference report on the
army appropriation bill, showing con-
currence in all senate amendments eX-
ceptiug those relating to heavy ord
nance. The report was agreed to and
new conference ordered. Mr.. Chambers
resolution relating to the recent cleo
ton in Louisiana was taken up. Mr..
Pasco said the miscellaneous and undi-
geSted matter relating TO this matter
collected by MIR. Chandler did more
credit to that senator's industry than to
his intellect, and that while the senior
senator from New Hampshire, Mr..
Blair, was anxious to provide education

and delay of perhaps an hour or longer,
the senate, at $40 p. m, adjourned with
out concluding the vote.

THE PLATFORM.

The woes and SORROWS of discomfort
have seized the committee on platform,
and tremendous conflict is going ON in it
between the honesty of convictions and
the dishonesty of machine dictation.
Gordon E. Cole is the chief figure on the
committee, and he is for tariff reform of
the most sincere and radical nature.
The temper of the farmer delegates in
the convention is in consonance with
that of Mr.. Cole, but they appear to be
in a minority. The Republican league
of the state, headed by r. G. Evans
and Frank DaYis, brought heavy
pressure To bear upon the committee to
declare for the Chicago platform, and
they were ably abetted by the Blaine
Republicans of the convention. AT the
least respectable number of the COM
mittee are opposed to this, chief among
them being Cole. Another portion, and
it is question if they are in the major
ity, desire the fiat-fOOted Endorsement
of the national platform, the Blaine
ideas-free whisky and tobacco.
Over this bone of contention the COM
mittee wrangled yesterday and into last
night until about IL, when an agree

SUBLIMITY OF HYPOCRISY.
Such Are the Groans and Signs Flowing
From the Mouths Of PoIit-
ical Leaders.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5.-This weeks
journal OF United Labor contains an
article two columns and half in length
contributed by General Master Work
man Powderly and containing the CORE
spondence that passed between him and
Charles FL. Litchman upon resigning
the general secretaryship of the order.
First Is given Litchman's letter of
resignation, which has already
been published. Powderly's reply
opens with an acceptance of the res
ignation, and then he adds: "While I
Will not question your motives in taking
this step, you will, trust, pardon
me If / say that 1 fail to see
how organized labor can be
benefited by having its officers cast
aside the obligations and duties which
their constituents imposed upon them
for the purpose of taking sides in po-
lltlcal campaign. 1t is true that grOanS
and signs are flowing up from the
mouths political leaders for the wrongs
of the workingman; many of those who
groan loudest at this time may Justly be
classed among those who were the very
worst oppressors of labor in the past.
The tears they shed will never increase
in volume to such an extent to wipe
away the grievous wrongs their past
actions or failures to act have imposed
upon the man who bends
UNDER PovERTY's LOAD.
You cannot blame me, then, if I call
the groans and signs mere empty
sounds, the tears but hollow mOckery,
and the professions of conversion
to the doctrines of organized la
Dor as the sublimity of hypoc-
risy. In this campaign every
man has an undOubted right to so act as
to confer the greatest amount of good
upon his country; but the question at
isSue-the tariff-will not be set
tied when the votes are counted
in November. The election of
president will not make change I'M
less the people of all the land make jul
dicious selections of such members Of

ated candidates, regardless of party,

of the Knights of Labor. If this plan
OF our order is faithfully carried out 1T
will result in more good than any

Litchman winds up the corresponds
ence. He says: II hold it more honora-
bic to lay down official duties that
would hamper private action than to
retain such position and at the same
time be

Republican Advertisements Or

ans Elevated Roads.

ueFeQ Out OF the cars on OOtn-
ans Elevated Roads.
Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Sept. 4.-There is more
gloom in the headquarters of the Re-
publican national committee. The
gloom was brought about to-day by the
order of the several street car cOmpa-
MES in the city to remove Immediately
the conundrumS witch had been put
into their cars on the advertising boards
by the Republican national committee.
The Democrats have been publishing
texts by the stereoptican method in this
city. and the Republicans couldn't get
in any of their stump speeches
there. so they resorted to a new
dodge. They bought up, as they
supposed, all the advertising space in
the street cars, and commenced to get
out their little speeches. This was Sec
rotary j.. Sloot FaSsett's personal idea,
and he has been growing over his asso-
ciateS at his astuteneSs. Tonight,
however, he is away down in the mouth.
He has paid the money to the railroad
advertising company and he can't get
the advertising. 1t was cruel blow to
the young secretary'S hopes. One OF
the most positive orders to remove the
Republican texts from the horse cars
came from Henry Hart, president of
the Third Avenue railway. He said
tonight, Oh being informed of
the fact that Republicans were
using advertising signs in the street
cars of the Second avenue railway. l
ordered to-day that they be Immediately
removed. They will be all out tonight.
l sent communication to Senator
Matt Quay and Secretary Fassett,
notifying them of this order. l have
not hear from them in reply. My
order, however, is positive and will not
be reScinded. President Lewis, of the
Brooklyn City Railway company, has
issued an order similar to that of Mr..
Hart, but a little more positive in
terms. The presidents of the other
road companies were not accessible to-
night, but it can be authoratively stated
that they have all followed Mr.. Harris
and Mr.. Lewis example. and that Mr..
Sloot Fassett and the Republican
national committee have been once

A FORECAST.

"The convention will reach the .nomi-
nation of governor either at noon or
just after dinner. The first ballot will
show McGill in the lead, Merriam next
and Scheffer last, with few votes for
Braden, Clement and Gilman. This
first ballot will reveal nothing as to the
outcome. The second ballot will show
Merriam gains and some more for Gill
man. By the third Sche1fer will lose
and Gilman gain. Then there will
be call for adjournment. If that fails
McGill will be nominated. If it sue
ceeds the result will be new man and
his name will be A. E. Rice, j. 2. Rea,
OF Braden."
So said trustworthy observer of the
situation to the GLOBE last night, His
prediction is worthy of consideration.

THE RISE AND FALL OF GIBBS.

The rise and fall of John L. Gibbs
not to be treated so eloquently as that
of Rome or the Dutch Republic, yet
Acknowledgements was more striklngly
manifested than yesterday when Fort
une made him the football of conven-
ton from which he might have had all
to expect and all to realize that makes
ambitions worthy. Two years ago a
candidate for governor, tricked and be-
trayed by men under solemn pledges,
he went out to be the foil of his sue
cessful rival, and yesterday to take the
petty honor of temporary chairman
ship from the men who have so sue
cessfully driven him from high public
career to the privacy Of q state office.

PERMANENT ORGANIZATION.

A report was read from the committee
on permanent organization, nominating
the following officers:
Chairman-Hon j. L. Gibbs.
Assistant Chairmen-Robert Stratton, of
Hennepin; II. W. Mayhem, OF Cook; A.
Barto, of Stearns
Secretaries-E. A. Sumner, of Hennepin;
o. NJ. Hall, of st. Louis; j. S. Lorman, of
Ramsey.
The convention unanimously ratified
the appointments, and the chairman
stated he would not inflict another
speech on the delegates, but would
simply say, 81 thank you."
Capt. II. A. Castle moved that the
chair nominate committee of one from
each judicial district, and one at large,
to form the Republican state central
committee.
Senator Hixson-I move as an amend
ment that each judicial district choose
their own member to form this COM
mittee.
The chairman remarked that the
amendment was unnecessary, as the
chairman usually allowed each district
to send up the name of one of their
number to compose the committee.
Sam LOewenStein, who was received
with laughter and applause, said: "As
a substitute offer the following resO-
lution." j. w. Loewenstein here
handed up Written document, which
the secretary read as follows: ERE
solved, That the delegates from the
several judicial districts of this state
choose one member each, and they
elect chairman and secretary; such
delegates to constitute the state central
committee"
Cries-''No, no." and "That's right"
The Cha1rman-The question is the
adoption of the amendment.
r. Stratton-l move the whole matter
be laid over until after the nomination
of the state ticket.
This was agreed to.
The convention then adjourned to

Pillsbury-I move then that the rules

Jennison-We object to that. 1t will

rules.
Pillsbury-The delegates are tired
and desire to finish their work tonight.

freshed ard invigorated by his trip to
Middle Bass. The day was quietly
spent. In the morning the general
gaveuattention to his correspondence,
which has not been allowed to accumu-
late to any extent during his absence, as
his law parner, w. III. Miller, for some
time has been acting as the generals
secretary, remained at home and at
tended to large share of the daily cor
reSpOndence. During the day quite
number personal friends called on Gen.
and Mrs. Harrison, to say word OF well
come. This evening the general went
out for one of his customary long walks.
Among the kilograms received by Gen.
Harrison to-day was the following:

Chairman Huston had conference
with Gen. Harrison tonight, and 1t is
probable that replies to these appllca-
tiOns will be sent out within the next
day or two. The local Republican or
CARNATIONS are arranging for big
demonstration and mass meeting to-mor-
row night. All the Republican clubs
in the city will turn out. There
will be five divisions to the street
parade, which will be reviewed by Gen.
4. p. HOvey, the Republican candidate
for governor, and ex-Gov. A. g. Porter.
The line of march as arranged by the
committee is through the business por--
tionS of the city, but it is thought that
Gen. Harrison will either consent to
come down town and participate in the
review or the column will march out to
his residence. After the parade meet
ing will be held at Tomlinson hall,
where Gen. Hovey, Gov. Porter, and
Hon. John NJ. Butler will speak. The
local Democracy held well-attended
meeting tonight at Haughsville, sub
urb of indianapolis, the principal
speaker being Congressman Bynum.

SHORT NOTES.

The committee appointments were
cut and dried, having been agreed upon
by the three candidates before the con-
vention met. There was no opposition
to Gibbs, and the temporary secretaries
and routine committees were chosen
without breeze.

Delegates holding railroad tickets
must have them countersigned by Joel
Heatwole or Tams Bixby bye O'clock
this morning, and present them to the
railroad offices for exchange for return
tickets.
Hon. Frank A. Day, Republican state
senator from Martin county, and editor
of the heretofore Republican paper, the
FairmOnt Sentinel, created quite sen
sation in the Merchants lobby yester-
day. He appeared with a dazzling
white Mersiam badge pinned upon his
coat and Cleveland and Thurman but
ton in the lapel of his overcOat. I'm
der the Whiteman law, which provides
separate ballot boxes, Mr.. Day can sup
port the Republican state ticket, at the
same time he endorses tariff reform and
Cleveland. AS tariff refOim is national
question many Republicans will I'M
doubtedly follow Mr.. Days example,
and he is to be commended for his in
dependence There are other Republican
editors in the state who are likely to
soon wheel into line for Cleveland,
Thurman and tariff reform.
During the reading of Gen. Nettle-
toms anti-Stloon address Albert Schetfer
sat between j. IL. Mailer and Dan
Aberle, and applauded several points
heartily, at which several delegates
cooked their eyes. Mr.. Aberle did not
applaud, but WINGED.

Chairman Gibbs has capital voice,
and his control of the convention was
perfect yesterday.
Secretary o. M. Hall was feeling very
good over the receipt of plug hat from
the st. Louis delegation.
Blue Earth county fully paid back to
McGill the grudges she has borne him
for two years. His contrasting delega-
ton from that convention was very
nicely thrown out.
