NEGRO POLITICIANS.
COlored Democrats Capture an
Independent Convention.


INDIANAPOLIS, July 24.-About fifty
colored delegates from various parts OF
the Union arrived in the city to-day 10
attend the conference of colored men,
called by j. Milton Turner and others.
The circular sent out by Turner recites
the magnitude Of the coming struggle
between the great poltica parties
and suggests that it ''would be wisdom
on the part of the great body OF negro
American voters to be an independent
and unkn1wn quantity in the present
contest" The circular concludes by
stating that the conference is called "for
the purpose of consulting and consider
ing upon what recommendations may be
decided upon as best to promulgate the
interests Of the colored electors of the
country. Let 1t be distinctly understood
that the proposed conference is not
called in the interest OF any particular
party or individual, but purely of the
negro"
The language of the call, which dis
tinctly foreordained that the conference
was to be of a politically Independent
character, was openly repudiated tonight
by large majority of the delegates pres
ent, who declare that they are here as
Negro Democrats and not as Indepen-
dents, and at meeting OF the Prelimin-
ary Organization Committee to-
night Turner and his supporters were
denounced by the straight-out
Democrats and outvoted on all the ques-
tions of organization. Charles H. j
Taylor, of Kansas City, ex-Minister TO
Liberia and editor of Public Education, a
Democratic journal, led the Democratic
wing at the Committee meeting, seconded
by Gordon Street, an attache of the
Boston Herald. They were opposed by
Turner and George w. Fisher, Of
Virginia, who represented the independ-
ent wing.
The meeting finally broke up in row.
Street made personal charges against
Turner, when the latter picked up chair
and attempted to assault Street, but was
prevented. The Democratic faction car
ried the day and declared they will or
ganize tomorrow as Democratic Negro
Conference and exclude Turner and his
followers from all participation.

UNCE EXISTS.
The New TranscOntinen Rate
Not Yet Fully Defined.

SAN Francisco, July 24.-There exists
80 much uncertainty as to the coming
change in transcontinental freight rates
that it is almost impossible to secure any
reliable information on the subject. Lo.
cal freight agents have not been fully in
formed by their traffic managers as to the
work accomplished by the Transconti-
mental Association at it's lac meet
ing in Chicago, and therefore
they are not able to give shippers in
telligent data upon which to act. 1t is
possible that new rates will not be
authoritatively issued until after August
1st, next. In general way the new
rates will represent an increase over the
old ones, from points west of st. Louis,
Milwaukee and Chicago and reduction
to New York.

President Kessler said tonight to
GAZETTE reporter that the convention
would be non political affair; that its
object WAS to place before the Legisls-
ture The grievances Of the toiling classes
of Texas, with demand that relief be
given. He gave 1t as his opinion that the
convention would demand the retirement
of several state officials, notably Frank
Lubbock; that it would probably judorse
Governor Ross and work to secure his
election. When asked II the convention
would be likely to nominate sny ticket,
Mr.. Kessler said the convention woulI
doubtless recommend tie farming and
lsboriDg elements to nominate Leeisla-
rive and Senatorial candidates in their
respective districts. He also thought
the convention wou!d indor5e Terrell for
the United States Senate.
