TIE nomination of Mr.. Murat H

THE nomination of Mr.. Murat Hal
stead, editor of the Cincinnati CONNER
cidI- Gazette, to be Minister to Germany,
was rejected by the Senate on Saturday.
The vote stood: For confirmation 19,
against 25. Two Democratic Senators
Blackburn (of Kentucky and Call (of
Florida) a)-voted to confirm, while seven
Republicans Teller (of Colorado, Jones
(of Nevada), Plumb and ingalls, (of Kan
sas), Evarts (of New York; Dawes (of
Massachusetts,, and Quay (of Pennsyl-
vania) voted against confirmation.
Mr.. Halstead's offense consisted in
newspaper criticisms of the votes of Sen
ators upon a resolution looking to an in
vestigation of the methods used to con-
troll the caucus which nominated Henry
B. Payne for Mr.. Pendleton's seat in the
Senate. Without regard to the question
of fitness, and wholly for personal and
selfish reasons, these alleged great men

For years the People have been losing
respect for what Mr.. Amos Cummings
calls the american House of Lords, y
but no act of that body in score of
wears has done so much to lower it in
the estimation of the public as this sell
fish proceeding of a half dozen members.
FEW honest men in Ohio but believe
Henry B. Payne (or his friends for HIM
purchased the seat of Senator Pendleton
in the winter of 1856. When the Sen
ate of the United States refused to in
vestigate the matter, Murat Halstead ex-
pressed the opinion of all honest men of
Ohio about the Republican Senators who
voted against investigation in vigorous
English. Now they come back at him,
when his name is sent to the Senate for
Minister to Germany, and refuse to as
sent to his nomination solely for that
reason.
The Republicans of Ohio will now take
hand in the controversy. This incident
will put them on their mettle, and if Mr..
Halstead will consent to make the race
for the Senate the campaign will be lurid
and memorable. Mr.. Halstead is tren-
chant speaker, man of supreme cour-
age, of splendid physique, and a fighter
from way back" His candidacy for
the Senate, under existing circumstances,
would give the canvass zeSt and vigor
equal to national election, and would
attract the attention of the whole coun-

THE EARLY CLOSING.
Clerks Want to Enjoy the Pleas
ures OF Carnival Week.


At the meeting of the Retail Clothing
Clerks association held last evening at
20 East Seventh street, Miss Mcdonald
explained to the ladies present the ne
ceSsity of making q stand for shorter
hours, the hours now exacted from work
ing girls being, she considered, Injurious
to health, besides being otherwise harm
full. Burns, of the Knights of Labor as
Sembly, stated that the organization he
represented had decided not to inau-
gurate boycott until after Jan. 1. but,
i'll the meantime, would circulate an
agreementamOngth the merchants tending
to an improved condition of affairs. Those
merchants falling to sign would, he
said, derive the full benefit of the boy
colt in which all organized men would
participate. Mr.. Burns explained that
he had spoken to several merchants
and they wished to open Monday even
ings. He left it with the statesmen to
decide if this clause should be included.
Mr.. Weaver explained that in Cleve-
land, o., all the stores closed at 6
o'clock every night but Saturday, and
it was decided success. Mr.. Morrow
said the same with reference to Detroit,
and also moved that carnival week
should be dropped out of the agree
ment, as he had as much right to be out
enjoying the carnival as anyone and
that people were out for enjoyment and
not purchasing purposes at that time.
A motion was adopted requesting del
egateS to the S. and l.. association to
ask that the agreement to be handed to
the various merchants be worded for all
year except from Dec. Is to 81. The
motion added that when the public had
become educated to the new order of
things it would be found satisfactory to
ali parties

1T GREW PERSONAL.
A Meeting to Discuss Labor's
Place in Politics.

A Meeting to Discuss LabOr's
Place in Politics.
An enthusiastic labor meeting was
held last evening at Labor hall, 20 East
Seventh street, the hall being filled to
its utmost capacity. Labor Commits
siOner Lamb made the opening address.
He spoke on the progress of nations,
inStancing the progressive and subse-
Quent retrOgreSSlYe periods which have
been known by old nations, and said
that perhaps good deal of the trouble
of the laboring class of to-day was
result of dawning retrogressive pc
Rod in America He urged laboring
and working people of all classes
not to expect too much at
once. The condition of the work
ing people of America, compared
with the same class of people in other
countries, was certainly not one to suf
fer by the contracts. He advised work
ing men and women to make up their
minds what was wanted and ask for it,
staying firmly by any political party
which would give fair representation
and legislate justly for the working
man. Thomas Lucas followed in
fiery denunciatiOn of the methods and
performances of the late legislature, and
of the legal profession generally, which
ne conceived to be blamable for the
injustice done the laborers of the state
in the acts of the legislature. Several
attorneys were present and spoke in
defense of the profession, and delivered
an impassiOned harangue aprOpOS of
the injustice that was being done the
legal profession. The discussion of the
evening had been announced as 1.-THE
Place Of Labor in Politics." though it
must be said that the argument sayored
strongly of personality throughout.

her demeanor was cold and calm, but
Lawyer Williams sharp crOss-examlna-
ton brought the fire to her tongue ana
eyes. Her husband, Leo Z. Bruggeman,
as he listened TO her testimony, surely
realized the truth of that familiar adage:
Earth hath no rage like love to hatred
turned;
Nor he'll fury ike a woman seorned.'
The lawyers experienced no trouble
in getting her to talk. In fact, she
talked altogether too much to please
them. She overlooked no opportunity
to evade a question and get in sharp
''roast" on her husband. Relative to
child which had died, Mrs. Williams
asked:
Isn't it true that Mr.. Bruggeman was very
much depressed when the child died-wasn
he almost franticY'
No" sneeTingly answered the witness,

Mrs. Bruggeman's story of the i'll
treatment she received from her hus-
band was long and -scOrching. She
enumerated many instances where he
struck her and knocked her down. Some
of her testimony was in terms altogether
too plain for publication.
The complaint in the Bruggeman case
alleges cruel and inhuman treatment,
and the husbands cross-bill alleges
adultery. In his bill, Mr.. Bruggeman
says he was driven from home and fam
ily by his wife. He asserts that she
was in the habit of assocfating with
lewd and vicious women. Mr.. Brug-
geman ayers that his wife committed
adultery with several different men
during the year of 1886. When the hus-
band puts in his evidence something
rich, rare and racy may be expected.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bruggeman were mar
ried at Shakopee on Nov. Is, 1872, and
they are the parents of three children.

HIS TIME TO BE HAPPY
Was Not Appreciated and He
Suddenly Disappeared.

About a week ago young man who
registered at the United States hotel as
Al c. Blazer, arrived in the city and an
nounced that he was in search of sit
uation. He seemed agitated and was let
severely alone by the rest of the board
ers who imagined from his actions that
he was little off in his upper story.
Saturday evening he disappeared after
paying his bill and has not since been
seen. Two young men called
at the house yesterday and in
quired as to the appearance of
the young man who had registered
as Blazer. Having received a descrip-
ton of the man, both declared him to
be the person for whom they were look
ing. The names of the late arrivals are
Edmund and Cass Lane, of Dubuque,
To-, and they claim that Blazers real
name is Austin. That two weeks ago
he married Miss Bertha Lane, of Du-
buque, and decamped three days after
the ceremony without apparent reason
OF cause. The couple was engaged two
years prior to the performance of the
ceremony, and the young bride is pros
trated with grief and surprise at the
queer actions of her newly made hus-
