GATHERINGS OF THE G. o. p.
Three Republican State Conven-
tions Scheduled for To-Day.


Boston, Sept. 24.-The hotels are
crowded with delegates tonight to the
Republican state convention which will
meet here tomorrow morning. There
is great uncertainty as to the nom-
lnees for the offices of governor and
lieutenant governor. The friends of
Bracket, however, claim that they will
be able to nominate him for governor
on the first ballot. Grape has also a
large following, and his friends are
hopeful of success. The name of Hon.
W. II. Halle will also be placed i'll NOM
ination. The race for the nomination
for lieutenant governor will be between
George w. Johnson, of Brookfeld;
Byron P. Walker, of Belchertown, and
Francis Jewett, of Lowell. For secre-
tary of state it is thought that there
will be but little opposition to the re-
nomination of Secretary Pierce.
CHALMERS HAS A CINCH.
JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 24.-Delegates
to the Republican state convention,
which meets here tomorrow, are arriv-
ing, and the prospects are that it will be
largely attended. Chalmers will prob
ably be nominated for governor.
DEPEw FOR TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN.
SARATOGA, n. Y, Sept. 24.-The Re-
publican state convention which meets
here tomorrow bids fair to be harmo-
NOUS and of brief duration. The
United States hotel is crowded with
politicians to. night. Every train brings
additional recruits. The state commit
tee met tonight and decided to recon-
mend Chauncey M. Depew for tenn
pOrary chairman. George B. Sloan will
probably be permanent chairman.

A SHADY RECORD.

One of the candidates Tor the United
States senate in South Dakota has been
urged so strongly on account of his
military record that some of the vet
Grams in his party have produced the
record, and find that the only achieve
ments of five months of service ter
minated by his muster out by order of
Gen. BUELL. ''aS absolutely necessary
for the good of the service" was to lie
behind pile of logs at one battle, aban-
bonding his regiment to subordinate;
and at the only other one he was near
retreating in fast trot without his
command. He was placed under arrest
on both occasions, and officers of his
command assert that The was the veri-
est coward that ever commanded an In
diana regiment" The case is not re-
ferred to in disparagement of the claims
of the gentleman to political honors or
a pension, but as an incident of the Da-
kota contest, and to suggest that there
are those so physically constituted that,
while they are reckless heroes in their
minds, their legs refuse to do service in
bat one direction in the presence of dan
ger. They are made so. and cannot help
it. They are not to be blamed more than
persons are for being cranks OF de-
mented,

POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE.

The Democrats in Iowa have NOM
mated a gentleman for governor who
was Republican when there were
other issues, and the Republican papers
now assall him furiously as an apostate,
turncoat, and party renegade. They
are not at all original in their course,
but it is no less brutal and disgraceful.
In this instance, the gentleman changed
his party relations chiefly for the reason
that the Iowa Republicans made pro-
hibition party test. He does not be-
lieve in the efficacy of that plan, and
has the manliness to follow his convic-
tions, even at the expense Of party at
tachments. The party slave is less an
object of admiration than the one who
is the property of another, as his servi-
tude is voluntary. Any man of brains
should be able to go where his honest
opinions dictate. If party does not go
his way he should look for one that will.

The Sioux Falls Press sees that its
anti-prohibition attitude is hurting the
chances of its pet candidate, Pettigrew,
and is attempting to explain away his
responsibility for its utteranceS. Per-
Jhaps Pettigrew is a prohibltionist for
campaign purposes, but if so it will be
as hard to make people believe it as to
establish the sincerity of some of his

The confidence in future values of the
farming lands of North Dakota, enter
tanned by the late William Thaw, mill

Dakota. StutSman county contains
3,76S acres assessed to the Thaw estate,

GLAD TO GET ANYTHI Nc.
Creditors Willing to Accept In
solvents Terms of Settlement.


New YORK. Sept. 24.-Lewis Bros. s.
Co.. the dry goods commission mer-
chants of Worth street, have just made
their formal offer to their creditors to
compromise at 5715 cents ON the dollar.
This is ~ cents more than they and
the assignee thought they could pay
when their schedules were filed. Credi-
tors to whom the settlement had been
presented have all expressed willing
ness to accept the terms and have the
firm resume business. Some of the
firms who were involved in this
failure have succeeding in making
satisfactory arrangements with their
creditors. The Manville company,
manufacturers of cotton goods, Provi-
dence, is taking care of its paper. 1t is
understood that the company pays in
full on the basis of so cents cash and 50
cents secured by second mortgage of
$500, 900 on the plant which was recently
raised. The account has been taken
away from Lewis Bros. & Co., who had
been the selling agents for many years,
and is now managed by E. Oelbermann
& Co., who it is said were instrumental
in raising the cash for the Manville
company to pay its debts. The Dunnell
Manufacturing company, calico printers,
of Providence, which had $4,000 of
Lewis Bros. & Co.'s acceptances, has, it
is said, made arrangements to take care
of this paper by raising $3.50, 900, part
from the stockholders and part by mort
gage. In settlement of the Lewis Bros.
& Co.'s acceptance it is said the Dun.
nell company will pay half and the
other half comes from Lewis Bros. &
Co. The Dunnell company. it is said,
will lose part of the Manville's work.

RUSSIAN PRESS COMMENT.
BOULANGER DISCOURAGED,
But He Will Stay in the Political
Field

LONDON. Sept. 24.-Gen. Boulanger
and his adherents, though they keep up
a bold front, are much discouraged by
the steadiness of the Republican feel
ing in France as revealed last Sunday.
They do not seek publicity, and submit
only to such interviews as are unavoid-
able. The general will probably, after
consultation with his advisers, issue
statement in a few days, which will
serve as platform for the future rally
ing of his followers. So long as the
Bourbons and Bonapartists exist there
will be BoulangerS, whose function will
be to attack the existing order, in the
hope that in the confusion esulting
from it's overthrow, royalty or imperial
ism will be able to snatch the prize of
rulership. There is no danger, there
fore, of Boulanger's disappearance from
the political field, unless some man can
be found more likely to turn the heads
of the French voters, and as yet no one
has developed such qualities as would
make him formidable rival of the gen.
eral in the role of cat's-paw for the anti
Republicans. And as the money of the
Legitimists still holds out, Boulanger is
not likely to suffer in pocket. though he
has in prestige by Sundays events.

FERRY OUT IN THE COLD.
He Wants Some Follower to Re.
sign i'm His Favor.

PARIS. Sept. 24.-M. Ferry's organ,
the Estafette, expresses hope that
some follower of M. Ferry will resign
his seat in the chamber of deputies in
favor of the leader of his party. The
Justice thinks that Boulangerism is
crushed, but it considers the monar-
chists still serious danger.
The paper rejoices over the defeat of
M. Ferry, which, it says, removes the
cause of the dangerous crisis through
which the republic has just passed.
Premier Tirard opened the new COM
mercial exchange to-day. In speech
he said that the chief task of the new
chamber would be to deal with the
economic condition of France and the
laws pertaining thereto.
WON'T FIGHT A CRIPPLE.
BERLIN, Sept. 24.-The Post says:
"Although we are conscious that every
party In France desires the honor of re-
vanche, we do not desire to fight against
a nation crippled by Boulangerism. If
there must be a struggle let it be an
honorable one in the full sense of the
word. No other can be decisive"

MILITARY TACTICS AT YALE.
Instruction w i'll Be Given by a
FulI-Fledged Army Officer.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Sept. 24.-The
war department has detailed Lieut..
Charles A L. Totten, Fourth artillery,
to report at Yale university, where he
will be stationed for the next three
years to instruct the students in the
scientific department in military engin-
eering. In speaking of this new depart
ure. one of the scientific professors said
tonight tina the scope of the course
would depend entirely upon the students
themselves. 1t was not intended to de-
velop full-hedged military school with
the incidental routine drills. etc..
but the lieutenant would instruct in
drilling if desired. 1T was thought de-
sirable to have a thorough course on
military tactics, and the matter was laid
before the Washington officials with the
above result. The family feel greatly
elated over the matter, as in previous
years Yale has been able to secure
Lieut. Totten's services only for Occa-
sional lectures.

served over the honoring of the Austri-
an instead of the Hungarian flag. A
similar incident occurred at Ullo. The
