Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1889-10-26
SUNDAY, OCT. 13.

Promptly at "a. m. the convention
was called to order, and c. H. Lother,
of Pittsburg, was elected chairman for
the day.
The Committee on Credentials re-
ported that the st. Louis Section had
sent Adolph Hepner as delegate, and
that Detroit requested representation
by proxy; also, that two sections in
Ohio had appointed H. Henkel as proxy.
Comrades Hepner and Henkel were
duly admitted, and instructions given
to have the Detroit Section represented
by one of the proxies elected by the
Chicago Section.
Communications were received from
Cleveland and New Bedford, refusing to
participate in any convention until the
pending troubles were settled. A COM
munication was also received from six
persons claiming to belong to section
of the S. L. P. in Olympia and demand
ing representation by proxy. As there
is no section in Olympia, and as the
proxy appointed by the persons in ques
ton was partisan delegate to the Ros-
enberg side-show Of Sept. %, this trans
parent piece of trickery provoked con-
siderable mrth, and the would be proxy
was, as matter Of course, denied ad-
mittance.
The Chicago American Section not
being as yet etrepresented, Comrade Sanial
was delegated by the convention to at
tend the Sunday afternoon weekly meet
ing of that Section and ascertain its in
tentions.
The re- ular order of business was
then resumed, and Comrade Negendank
presented the report of the Board of
Supervision.
The report was divided into four
parts, relating respectively to the Wisch-
nevetsky matter, the Garside incident,
the Paris Congress, and the party diff
cultles between the New York Section
and the four members of the old execu-
tive committee. 1t was a mere relation
of facts. without any expression of
opinion or any comments calculated to
influence the judgment of the conven-
ton. The report having been received,
it was decided to take up Immediately
the three subjects first named in the
order above given, and to reserve for
the last the pending party difficulties
This discussion consumed all the time of
the morning session. In the Wischne-
vetsky matter the action of the New
York Section was sustained against the
Board of Supervision. AS to the Gar
side incident and the Paris Congress,
they were pure matters of record, and
the convention received the statements
of the Board, amplited by such expla-
nations as those members of the execu-
tive committee who were present as
delegates were called upon to give.

AT THE MASS-MEETING.

The mass meeting called by the Chi
cago Section on Sunday afternoon was
the grandest demonstration Chicago has
witnessed since 1886. The large hall of
the Vorwarts Turn Hall was filled by
over 1000 men and women.
Before the meeting had been called to
order, and while those who had charge
of the arrangements were unfolding the
stars and stripes on the platform, few
misses were heard in the rear of the
hall. No attention was then paid to
this incident, which the capitalist press
and the Rosenberg clique, with their
characteristic dishonesty, seized upon
so eagerly to misrepresent the object
and spirit of the great meeting.
The first speaker was S. E. Shevitch.
He dwelt upon the fact that, notwith-
standing all appearances to the contrary,
the cause of socialism during the latter
three years had not only not lost any
thing, but had gained great deal in
the minds of the American people. The
development of capitalism, as illus

trated by the concentration of industry
in trusts and combinations, had mainly
brought about this result, showing how
the naturalization of production was
inevitably bound to be the necessary,
logical consequence of its concentration
in few hands. The essentially Amer
lean movement known under the name
of "Nationalism," which is in reality
nothing else but socialism pure and SIM
pie, is the outgrowth of our economic
development
The judicial murder committed on
the l1th of November, 1887, which the
speaker cha acterized as the foulest
crime of the century, contributed also
great deal towards opening the eyes of
all honest friends of liberty to the pro-
tutions are undergoing.
Under the influence of such powerful
lessons Of history, the socialist move
ment, though perhaps less noisy and
conspicuous. has become deeper and
more conscious of its own strength. A
mighty revival of the socialist idea will
take place before long, and the socialists
must be prepared for it. They must
organize with renewed energy and drop
once for all sectional strife and second
airy differences of opinion.
Chicago, the paris of America" is
bound to take the lead in this work of
reorganization, and it certainly is able to
do SO, if all the revolutionary elements
sink their petty differences and work
together for common cause.-the abo-
ition of wage-slavery.
Phi. Rappaport, of Indianapolis, fol.
lowed with an able address, in which he
reviewed all the stages of the economic
development of mankind from ancient
times to the present day, and showed
that socialism wanted but to restore to
the laborer what had originally been his
property-the instruments of labor.
Mrs. Crete. of New York, and Frank
Seubert, OF Brooklyn, also made short
addresses.

trustees were given power to act in this
matter as they saw fit.
Upon recommendation of the Arbitra-
tion Committee, Everett's Hall was de-
clared union place, as its proprietor
had acceded to the demands of tho
union with whom he had falling out.
The following resolution WINS sent in
by John III. Lean, who was said to be a
delegate:
"Whereas Although the Worlds Fair
OF 1892 will be crowning monument
of the triumphs of labor and industry
yet it would be fitting and proper that
labor should be symbolized by perma-
nent building which would commemo-
rate in some way the vicissitudes and
trlumphs of labor in this country; and
"Whereds, The public Libraries and

Quoted with the highest regard for the
interests of socialism, would prove the
means of strengthening the party and
advancing its principles.
The announcement was also made
that grand mass meeting, arranged by
the reorganized German Section of
Chicago would be held in the afternoon
of the following day Sunday, Oct. 13)
at Vorw9rts Turn Hall. Shevitch,
Rappaport and Mrs. Greie were to be
the speakers, and reports of the interest
manifested by the working people in
the coming event tended to show that
this would be an imposing demonstra-
ton.
At Up. m. the convention adjourned
to the following morning, and after an
exchange of hearty congratulations
with the numerous comrades of Chicago
who had come from all parts of the
city to greet them, the tired delegates
of distant Sections withdrew to their
respective quarters.

EX-PRIEST BOYLE'S APPEAL.
Seeking to Reverse the Verdict Which
Sentenced Him to Hang.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from
Joseph Boyle, ex-priest of the Roman Catholic
church, now under sentence of death for assault
upon Miss Geneva Whitaker, organist of the
Catholic church of the Sacred Heart at Raleigh,
OF which he was assistant pastor, came before
the supreme court Of North Carolina yesterday
on appeal. 1t will be remembered that Mr.,
Boyle was convicted on Saturday, October 5, in
the Raleigh court, and sentenced to be hanged
November 20. The prisoners counsel took an
appeal, which operated as a stay of execution.
The assault is alleged to have occurred on May
IL, 1889, in the pastors sitting room, on the
second floor Of the pastoral residence, adjoin-
ing the church. Miss Whitaker is described
as delicate, undeveloped girl of seventeen
years. Mr.. Boyle is tall fne-looking man of
thirty years. eloquent and accomplished, but of
too convivial turn. He was born in Luzerne
county, Pa, and has lived in New Mexico, ST.
Louis and in the state of Illinois. He was edu-
Gated at st. Francis Xavier's college, New York
city, and entered the priesthood in 1888. His
only defense was that Miss Whitaker made ad-
vances to him and led him astray.
Reading the record occupied most of the ses-
sion yesterday. Comments on the evidence
and citations of authorities were made by Mr.
s. F. Mordecai, counsel for the prisoner. Mr..
lnOmaS =. ruler. cnle1 counsel Tor the de-
Tense, will make a strong argument for Boyle.
Mr.. Theodore +. Davidson attorney general of
North Carolina and Thos. p. Devereux appear
for the state. Richard II. Battle will close for
the defense, replying to the state. The prisoner
files several exceptions the principal ones
being as to selection Of the jury and to the fact
that the question asked two jurymen by pris-
oner's counsel, "Have you present opinion
that the prisoner is guilty?" was not allowed by
the court
The argument was concluded yesterday.
Counsel for the defendant alleged there was
evidence to show that Miss Whitaker did not
make any cutlery; that she concealed the injury
a considerable time after she had opportunity
to make complaint, and that the place where
the assault was alleged to have been committed
was public place in the central part of Raleigh
and in daytime.

BUFFALO HUNTING.
Some Of the Perils of this Exciting
Western Spert.

Theodore Roosevelt in st. Nicholas
My brother and cousin were on their wav
homeward They were just mounting one of
the long, low swells into which the prairie was
broken when they heard low, muttering,
rumbling noise, like far-off thunder. It grew
steadily louder and, not knowing what it meant,
they hurried forward to the top of the rise. As
they reached it they stopped short in terror
and amazement for before them the whole
prairie was black with madly rushing buffaloes
The surprised hunters were far away from
any broken ground or other place of refuge,
while the vast herd of huge, plunging, mad
dened beasts was charging straight down on
them not a quarter Of mile distant. Down
they came!-thousands upon thousands. their
front extending mile in breadth, while the
earth shook beneath their thunderous gallop,
and as they came closer their shaggy frontlets
doomed dimly through the COLUMNS of dust
thrown up from the dry SOIL The two hunters
knew that their only hope for life was to split
the herd, which, though it had so broad a
front, was not very deep. If they failed they
would inevitably be trampled to death.
Waiting until the beasts were in close range
they opened rapid fire from their heavy
breach-loading rifles, yelling at the top of their
voices. For moment the result seemed doubt
full The line Numbered steadily down on them;
then it swayed violently, as two or three Of the
brutes Immediately in their front fell beneath
the bullets, while the neighbors made violent
efforts to press off sideways.
Then a narrow wedge-shaped rift appeared
in the line and widened as it came up closer,
and the buffaloes. shrinking from their foes in
'front.' strove desperately to edge away from
| the dangerous neighborhood. The shouts and
shots were redoubled. The hunters were al
most choked by the cloud of dust, through
| which they could see the stream Of dark huge
bodies passing within rifle length on either
side, and in a moment the peril was over and
the two men were left alone on the plain. un-
harmed, though with their nerves terribly
shaken. The herd careered on toward the
horizon, save five individuals who had been
killed or disabled by the shots.

Found n Pot of Gold.

At Plattsmouth, Neb., A. r. and P. E. Torey
of Charleston, SC, on Wednesday unearthed
a copper pot containing $1,000 worth of gold
dust. 1t was buried there by Henry Hopkins,
an uncle, who brought it back from California
with him in 1849. He was attacked by thieves
in Plattsmouth, but managed to bury the dust
before he was overtaken. He afterward disap-
peared and is supposed to have been murdered.
His brother went to Plattsmouth in 1866 and
brothers recently found a letter among their
mothers effects telling about the burial of the
gold, and went to Plattsmouth about two weeks
ago.
