The COLORED DEMOCRATS
Reasons for Deserving the Republican
Party.
THE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST
n wiz Be Carried on This Year on
New Lines---Plenty Of Har-
m0ny.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 26.-The
Democratic negro national conference
reassembled this morning at 1880, with
Prof. Peter 81. Clark, of Cincinnati, in
the chair as permanent president.
Chairman Clark opened the proceedings
with scholarly address, giving his rea-
sons why the negro should become
Democrat. He said, in part, careful
study OF the principles set forth
in the Democratic and Republican
platforms will convince any man
that the contest for the presidency
is to be carried on this year in
lines of thought, new to this genera
ton. The Republicans declare in favor
of free ballot and fair count, bnt
know full well that the evil of which
they complain is one that cannot be
controlled by federal action. The de-
cisions of the supreme court have re-
peatedly shown that fact. One won
ders why the Republicans do not follow
the path so plainly pointed out by the
events of the past twenty years, and.
why they do not. resort to state
action, to state agitation for
the establishment of any rights
that are now denied them.
The truth is, few of the evils of which
complaint is made are political In ma.
ture and not many can be cured by po-
litical action. The policy of denuncia-
ton and hate has been fully tried. Let
us try the opposite course. The chair.
mans address was frequently APP
plauded. DelegateThomas Fortune, OF
New York, alluding to the reports that
were in circulation about lack of har-
mony, called upon j. Milton Turner to
say how much truth there was I'm these
reports. Turner responded at length
and said he had been beaten in an open
fight and he accepted his defeat
with the utmost satisfaction. Ap-
plause.l He paid his respects
to the local Republican press
and said: "The Republicans think this
movement is a joke-in some sense 10
certainly is; but it is o pretty serious
Joke, as will be shown next November
He closed by declaring that in the
Republican party there is to-day more
means for greasing the wheels for use
than there is in the Democratic party.
My doors were besieged last night by
Republicans"
Turner moved the appointment Of q
committee on resolutions and address,
and the chair appointed committee OF
ten, with II. Thomas Fortune, of New
York, chairman. The committee re-
ported resolutions reviewing the politi-
cal conditions affecting the negro and
the promises made by President Cleve-
land touching the full enjoyment Of
their rights. At the afternoon session
the national committee was announced.

Large Amount of the Stuff Found
Concealed in Sevic's Cellar.
CHICAGO, July 26.-It is stated to-day
that since the arrest of Hronek, chief
would-be assassin of Gary, Grinnell and
Bonfield, the police have made an i'm
portant discovery by working upon the
fears of Hronek's wife. Surprisingly
little dynamite was found at Hronek's
house at the time of his arrest, the bulk
of the contraband goods consisting of
bombs in various stages of completion.
The police were convinced that he had
access to plenty of dynamite, and when
the subject was properly presented to
Mrs. Hronek she led the way to the
basement of the building in which
Sevic's shop is, and, to the delight of
the officers, who allowed her to do the
searching, returned to the open air with
a market basket full of half-bound
sticks of the stuff. There were fully ten
pounds of it-enOugh to have blown the
whole neighborhOod skyward. 1t is said
the evidence before the grand jury
shows that Sevic as well as HrOnek
knew where the dynamite was con-
cealed,

MADISON. Wis. July 26.-Gov. Rusk
figured in sensational episode on the
grounds of the MonOna lake assembly
last night. A great crowd visited the
grounds last night to hear Sam Jones
lecture, and to prevent overcrowding
of the steamboats, after the lecture,
gate was placed at the entrance of the
pier, through which only a limited
number were allowed to pass at time.
The governor, with his family and
party of ladies, were in the thrOng seek
ing passage through the gate, and it
happened that the governor was in ad-
vance of his party, and completed the
number allowed to pass through. and
the gate was shut down between him
and the others. When the governor
CJ SAW THE SITUATION
he became rather excited and demand
ed that the obstruction be removed and
his party let through. A sheriff and his
deputy who were in charge informed
him of the rules, but this did not sat
isfy the governor. The loud talk
brought the secretary of tine Sunday
School association to the scene, and he
stated very emphatically that the rules
would not be changed for his cOnven-
ience if he was governor of Wisconsin.
Then the governor got his dander up
and he said he was not there as govern
or, but as private citizen, and if the
gate was not opened
HE WOULD TEAR IT DOWN,
and, moreover, have the whole assOcia-
ton arrested in the morning. But the
gate remained closed, and true to his
threat, Gov. Rusk seized it aud tore it
from the hinges and threw it into the
lake. The excitement attracted a still
larger crowd, and the prominence of the
central figure caused great interest.

Sixth Ward.

In the sixth ward there was practically
no contest against the Scheffer ticket.
Shortly after the polls opened two
young men made their appearance, and
were said to have an opposition ticket
to the one elected. If they did it was
not sprung-at least none of the tickets
showed up when the count was made.
The two young men, it is said, tore up
their tickets, seeing the drift of things,
and took their departure. The ticket
elected contained the following names
for delegates: E. l.. Volk, j. Z. Brady,
Adam Helm, E. r. Greenwood, G. Lied

beau, James A. Devlin, L. NJ. Wilhelmy.
The total vote cast was $40, and the ut

was held.

up, and the latter, nothing 10th, ac-
cepted the challenge and succeeded in

car loaded with shelled corn was
ditched. When the trainmen opened it

body of man, not yet cold, rolled out
with the grain. Further search resulted
in the discovery of two more bodies in
one corner. Deeper down in the load
they eXhumed three more, making six
in all. 1t was about two hours after the
wreck that the car was opened. The
men had evidently secreted themselves
on top of the corn, and when the car
was derailed they were dumped in one
end and the grain swept over them.
One of them was identified as John G.

there was only twenty-six inches of
