The Democratic Convention held at
Moscow Monday was we'll attended.
The ticket presented is strong one
and very acceptable. The interest
centered in chOsing the delegates to the
district convention. The following is
the ticket: For sheriff, w. T. Griffin;
auditor, Eugene Buchanan; assessor,
VIM. Mckee; treasurer, VIM. Hunter;
representatives, A. B. Crawford, John

were instructed to vote for Philip
Ifllinghast for district judge.

Great Minds Differ.

If Moscow won the $24OO that the
Star boasts of why is 1t SO difficult for
the Moscow sports to find $1,000 to put
up on return game. There seems to
be another of Brother Browns "notes
of the game" that statistics fail to
verify. The note says: "Great was
the enthusiasm wnen Moscow won,
but the only man that threw his hat
higher than did the editor of the Star
of Idaho, was editor Goodyear of the
PalOuse City News. The fact Is, all of
the Palouse boys stood on their heads
with JOY over our beautiful victory"
But the fact Is that the editor of the
Star of Idaho had not consulted Editor
Goodyear over the cause of his JOY as
the following description of the game
in the Palouse City News will testify:
IA large number of Palouseites at
tended the ball game ut Moscow last
Sunday and returned wet and dis
gusted with manager Hattabaugh's :
bulldozing tactics. If it had not been
for the good nature of the Lewiston
boys no game would have been played.
Both teams had been strengthened by
players from Spokane. Moscow had
imported catcher Semper and second
baseman Larribee of the defunct
Wheeler club, while Lewiston had Sc
cured the services of pitcher Emmerkc
and third-baseman Cross, formerly of
the Spokane league team, and first
baseman Wright, of the Whcelcrs.
Hattabaugh refused to allow Lewis
ton to play their new men but claimed
the right to play his. Manager iricr-
son, of the 1ewistOns, then proposed
that both clubs play the same teams as
at Lewiston, but this offer was also de-
clin-d. Notwithstanding the fact that
several hundred people from outside
towns had been attracted by the adver-
tised game, the Moscow club would
have allowed them to 60 away disap-
pointed. Finally the Lewiston men
accomodatingly consented to play their
old team, while allowing MoscOw's
new men to participate. The crowd at
once adjourned to the fair grounds but
the Moscow management had me-
elected to lay out the diamond, and it
was nearly O'clock before the game
began. 1t was clio e but unintcrest-
ing contest The batting was weak
and errors plentiful. Lewiston knocked
Smith out of the box in the fourth in
ming and had the game we'll in hand
up to the seventh when the Moscow
players had batting streak and
brought their score up to within one of
that of the visitors. Both sides were
shut out in the eighth, but in the
ninth by combination of hits and
errors two of the Latah county seat
boys crossed the plate and the game
was won by Il score of 8 to 7. The
features were the battery work of Nc
Nance and Selnper, the splendid
catching, throwing and base running
of Mutually, and the fielding of short
stop Bye. Emmerke and Theodore
Galland Otiiciated rs umpires and gave
general satisfaction"

A tall gentleman, with military air
and beard tinged with gray, is regis
tered at the American house. The Wis
itor is Capt. William Harper, for sixteen
wears an officer of the army and for ten
wears past passenger engineer upon
the Southern Pacific road, with head
quarters at Tucson, Arlz. Capt. Harper
was assistant adjutant general upon
Gen. Crooks staff during the Rebellion,
and afterwards served twelve years in
the United States army at various
posts along the frontier. firing of
army life, he resigned his posi-
ton and began life anew as fire
man on the Southern Pacific road
At the end of eighteen months he was
promoted to the position OF engineer.
and in ten years experience at the
throttle asked for a vacation OF only
thirty days. His engine was remodeled,
gilded and ornamented after designs
furnished by himself. and has several

OF the three noted train robberies

THERE WILL BE UNITY.
Powderly Says the Strike Is Gen.
eraI Protest.

+ SCRANTON, Pa, Aug. 9. General
Master Workman Powderly, when
asked his views concerning the great
strike on the New York Central 81 Hud-
son River railroad, said some time
since it was reported to him that en-
pioyes of that line were being discrimi-
mated against, the discharged men all
being known as leaders of organized
labor. This strike is taken as a final
protest against such discrimination,
which had become unbearable. Mr..
Powtierly said that the employees of the
road have perfect organization from
New York to Buffalo. Ali Of these Or
CARNATIONS are not members OF the
Knights of Labor, but their action is a
concerted one, and there will be perfect
unity. The order to quit work will be
obeyed by all. In conclusion, Mr.. Pow
derby said: 81 notice that the statement
is made that Chauncey M. DeDew is not
held responsible for this trouble; but the
discharge of the men did not take place
without his knowledge or consent. On
the contrary, before he went to Europe
his men were being victImiZed, SO he is
as responsible as he was before he
sailed for the old world. He is not a
pauper, and, as consequence, can at
ford to use the electric cable. He has
his finger OH the key at the other end
and knows all that is transporting in this
country pertaining to his own interests.
1t was asserted last May that some OF
the under officials of the New York
Central. Or" correcting himself,
.'of the Vanderbilt system, were in pay
of agents of the Gould system and were
anxious to bring trouble on that com
pany, and therefore Influenced the Off
Gals of the Central to make war OIL the
workmen. The stockholders and those
who really own the New York Central
have no objection to organized labor,
and are not responsible for this strike.
But they are neglecting their own inter
ests in not watching the officials little

1t Causes the BungIing Electro
cution OF Kemmier.
ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Aug. 9.-In an in
tervlew this afternoon Supt. Barnes re-
vealed some secrets of the dynamo
room in the Auburn prison. When
Kemmler was killed, he said, the belt
used was new one, and had not been
stretched. The laeing of the belt caused
the dynamo to revolve irregularly, and
when the current was turned on to Kill,
the resistance of Kemmler and the
chair was such that 1t caused the belt
to slip, and it came near running off the
pulley. 1t was three-quarters off the
pulley, and only that a man held a
board against it the belt would have
come off, and there would have been an
awful scene. There should have been
a resistance board to run the current
through until it was to be turned on to
Kemmler. and changed from the re-
sistance box by the same move that
turned it onto him.
