ment leader, moved that if the Parnellite

motion was adopted and the House pro-
ceeded to consideration OF the bill as

HOOSIER REPUBLICANS.
Their State COnventfOn-The Num-
ber of WOuld.Be Governors.

INDIANAPOLIS, August THE hotel
lobbies were filed to overfowing to-day
with delegates and visitors in attendance
upon the Republican State Convention,
which convenes tomorrow at 10 O'Clock
A. NJ. The chief interest centers in the
struggle for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton, and busy caucusing between the
,l60 delegates tonight indicates zeal
and confidence in several aspiring candi-
dates. Ex-Governor Porter, in view of
his emphatic refusal to allow his name
to 60 before the Convention, is no longer
considered by the majority of the leading
politicians in attendance as among the
possible nominees for the Governor
ship. All doubts upon this point were
seemingly swept aside by Governor Por-
ter yesterday and to-day by his reiterated
public declarations to the friends of
other candidates, that there were no cir
cumstances or contingencies under which
he could now accept the nomination.
The candidates and aspirants for the
Gubernatorial nomination are Col. H. S.
Robertson, OF Fort Wayne, the present
Lieutenant Governor; Major Geo. w.
Steele, of Marion, Congressman from the
Eleventh District; Col. VIM. Cumback,
of Greensburg; Ex-Governor A. P.
Hovey, Of Mount Vernon, Congressman
from the First District; Rev. 1. j. Chase,
of Danville, Department Commander Of
the Grand Army OF the Republic, and
Hon. ]. w. Butter, of Indianapolis.
The name of Chairman j. w. Huston, of
the Republican State Committee, is fire.
quently mentioned as a possible dark
horse, but Huston declares he is not a
candidate in any sense of the word.

LABOR,S VOICE.
The Indiana Labor Unions Com
denim the Republican Ticket.

INDIANAPOLIS, August The State
Federation of Trades and Labor Unions
of Indiana held its fourth annual session
in this city to-day. Emil Levy, OF Evans
vile, was reelected President, and
John II. Hannigan, of Lafayette, Secre-
tary and Treasurer. The delegates pres
ent took action regarding the political
measures Of the day and adopted series
OF resolutions condemning the policy OF
legislation since 1861 with reference
to the bonded debt of the nation;
opposing all laws which led to transfer
of the burdens of excessive taxation to
to consumers and the laboring classes,
and declaring that they cannot support
the candidates of the Republican party
for President and Vice-President, because
both of them are wanting in sympathy
for the laboring classes.
The resolutions charge General Harri-
son with commanding company of SOL
diers during the strike of 1887, to shoot
the laboring men down, after having re-
fused an attempt at settlement by peace
able men. Morton is spoken of as a
Wall street money shark and sharer in
the unholy gains of the many greedy cor
porations that have cruelty oppressed
their employees. The resolutions also
refer to Gen. Harrison's vote on the
Chinese bill while in the Senate.

La Bailona Democrats.

EDITORS HERALD-The ever faithful
Democracy of La Ballona assembled in
large numbers last evening for
the purpose of organizing Cleve-
land and Thurman club. j. F.
Figueroa was elected president
]. B. Hargove, P. S. Valdez, Vice-Presi-
dents and G. NJ. Hickman Secretary.
The club will hold its next meeting
August 18th ,at the Ballona school house,
at which time Senator Del Valle will be
invited to speak.
Calls of "Waldron Waldron I" brought
that gentleman to the front, where he
held the crowd for over an hour in one
OF the most telling speeches on the tariff
question of the campaign. He showed
by plain illustrations the beniicent ef-
fects of the Mills bill, should it become
law. He spoke at some length
OF the Importance of placing tin
plate on the free list. 1t is a
mineral not found in paying quantities
in this country; it is largely used for
roofing kitchen furniture, and canned
goods of thousand different varieties.
How important to our young but Wig
orous fruit industries of California,
the future fruit garden of the world,
that we should have free tin We import
over 100000 worth annually on which
our fruit men and others are taxed over
$4,000, 900 in order to make a few more
very rich men who are engaged in max
ing tin plates in this country. Put it on
the free list, and you will not only les
sen the cost of every tin roof, pipe and
can, but build up profitable export
trade in which we can excel the world and
furnish employment to large numbers of
idle men who have been driven from
place by the imported pauper labor OF
Europe. He said that a saving of
forty dollars out of every hundred on
jute bags paid by our farmers was not a
bad thing for them; it would at
least help to pay the interest on the
mortgages on their farms, the burden of
which is increasing year by year as the
accumulating surplus in the Treasury
diminishes the volume of money in the
country threby increasing the purchas-
ing Ing it scarce and deprecating the
price of properly and commodities.
He cited in proof of the beneficial effects
to American labor industries that would
result if the Democratic policy of abolish
ing all taxes on raw material, should
prevail. The good that resulted from
abolishing the tax on hides in 1872 is
proof of our policy. That year
our total export of leather and
leather goods amounted to $4,000,
while our exports of leather goods
the past year amounted to $40, ,436,0 900
or an increase of $50 to 81. Give
American mechanics free raw materia,
and they will send the products of oul
factories to every nation in the world
They need no protection except from the
rapacious corporations that have grow1
up under. the fostering care of thu
Republican party.

The Hig IniuIns.

The Iroquois Club met last night at
their hall in Mcdonald block. A large
number OF members was on hand, and
much business of interest to. the party
was transacted. Grand Sachem Lacey
was in the chair, and gave the club a
brief account OF the manner in which
Coolies are being rushed in at
San Francisco. He stated that
the Custom Offices are most energetic in
their efforts to suppress that business !;
but that the Federal Courts upset all that
is done in this direction. The Custom
Office is in the hands of Democrats; the
Federal Courts are presided over by
Republican Judges.

A Fixed Star.

Mr.. Jas. Mclaughlin, of the Second
Street Gable road, has discovered that the
authority he wields in the city is not so
great as he fondly imagined. About 8 80
O'Clock yesterday morning he journeyed
olong Spring street with two horses at a
rapid trot, and in spite of city ordinances
attempted to cross First street at that gait.
Officer Fitch, however, one of the most
obliging and vigilant men on the force,
was on hand and called on Mr.. McLaugh-
lin to slow up. That gentleman replied
in language quite unparliamentary and
stated further that for the insult offered
to his mighty feelings he would have
Fitch's star taken away. He at once
proceeded to the station with that inten-
ton and poured the tale of his woes into
Chief Cuddy's ears, who on investigation
found that Fitch had simply done his
duty, as he always does, and refused to
remove his name from the list.

MONTREAL, August At meeting o.
the directors of the Canadian Pacific, to-
day, the resignation of the President, Sil
George Stephen, was accepted. w. c.
Van Horne was un animously appointed
in his place. The change was made
partly to put practical railroad man al
the head of the company and partly
owing to the bitter opposition of Ameri
can roads, arous ed by the efforts of the
Canadian Pacific to profit at their ex-
pense under the operation OF the Inter
state Commerce law.
Hon. Levi P. Morton, candidate for
Vice President of the United States, also
sent in his resignation as director, which
was accepted, and Hon. D. A. McInnes
was appointed in his place. The appoint
ment of Vice-President has not yet been
made.
WHY HE RESIGNED.
Mr.. Morton's resignation was hastened
no doubt, by the recent criticisms made
on the incompatibility of his posing for
the high Office of Vice President of the
United States, and being officially con-
nected with an alien corporation, ac-
knowledged to be adverse to the bust
ness interests of the United States, at the
same time. Mr.. Morton, however,
claims that he was elected director about
year ago, to fill place temporarily in
the board, until the selection was made
OF suitable Canadian director, and that
since that election he has never even in
single instance attended meeting of the
board or exercised any OF the fun ctions of
director. He stated that his resigna-
ton was forwarded to the board in the
early part OF the summer, doubtless after
the commencement of his aspirations for
Vice. Presidential honors.
