BUFFALO. Mimi, Sept 17.-The Dem
ocratic county convention met here
Monday and placed in nomination full
county ticket, and, it is said by promi-
nent Republicans, to be the strongest
ticket ever placed in the field by the
party in this county. The legislative
nominations which were to be made
were postponed until the 9th of this
month. The Democrats feel doubly
sure of success. owing to the split-in
fact, you may say double split-in the
Republican party. The Republican con-
vention, which met here last Saturday,
nominated a full county ticket, also a
legislative ticket, but with so much dis
satisfaction to number of the leading
Republicans that general bad feeling
prevails in the party. The whole fight
seems to have been on the senatorial
contest, and when the delegates met at
the court house it was soon found that
the majority of them were controlled
by few men who were opposed
to the denomination of Senator A. Y.
I1atOli, anu dCCOiulHSly ran JHlISS JUST
to suit themselves. They nominated
w. FL. Houlton. of Elk River, for SEN
ator, and L. E. Lathem, of Howard
Lake; S. j. Swenson, of Cokato; j. N.
Haven, of Montrose. and Edison Wash
burn, of Otsego, for representatives.
Thus it will be seen that A. Y. Eaton
was left out in the cold, greatly in Op-
position to the people, who wanted him
to represent them in the next legis-
lature. 1t has created quite a feeling,
and one which tends to weaken the
party quite materially. and will un-
doubtedly cause its defeat. To say the
political pot is boiling in this county is
putting it mildly-it is boiling clear
over into the Democratic party, and it
will catch the bulk of the offices in
November next. j. g. Nugent, who
has been sheriff of this county nineteen
years until the last election, and then
be did not run, was renominated by ac-
clamatirn. In fact nearly all their NOM
nations were made by acclamation,
which shows that perfect harmony pre-
walls in the Democratic ranks.

RAPID CITY, S. D., Sept. 17.-Francis

on Wednesday last of his selection by
the Democratic state central committee
as congressional candidate in place of
Judge Thomas, of DeadWood. who de-

wired his acceptance of the nomination.
Chairman Peemiller's visit to the Hills
early in August, for the purpose of
learning whom the Democrats of this
region desired upon the ticket, was not
altogether fortunate in its results. Men
who could not, under any circumstances,
accept the nomination, who did not de-
sire it if it could have been presented to-
gether with a certificate of election,
were suggested. They, OF course, de-
clined. A spirit of empty compliment
and "honorabie mention" followed
Mr.. Peemiller about, ut,sembarassing his
labors and resulting IN unnecessary
delay for which he was in no way re-
sponsible. Every city had series of
possibles to suggest, and upon inquiry

FAILED FOR TWO MILLIONS.
A Big Boston Firm Goes to the
Wall.

BosToN, Sept. Us. Gardner Chase
& Co., bankers and brokers at l4S Dew
onshire street, in the Equitable build
ing, have tailed. The firm has assigned
to James T. Phelps, the general
manager of the National Life Insur-
nee company, 159 ID evonshire street.
The firm is the Boston correspondent of
S. V. White & Co., of New York. The
members are r. Gardner Chase and
Charles E. Legg, of Chelsea. 1t is
stated that lately they have been doing
large business in Western railroad
stocks, and on the street the general
cause given for the failure is
that they were caught short of
the market. The news was surprise
to almost everybody, although quiet
rumOrs of the trouble have been float
ing about for day or two. Both men,
bers of the house have a most excellent
standing on the street and both have a
host of friends. They have been strug-
Cling against the inevitable for some
time, but were forced to give it

President Spencer, of the stock
exchange. announcing their assign
ment. Assignee Phelps Immediately
took charge of their affairs, and will at
once make a thorough investigation.
He says that the liabilities are likely to
amount to S2,000,000, and may go over
that. What there is in the way of
assets can only be determined by eX-
animation. He declines to make any
further statement at the present
time. George r. Chase, son of the
senior member of the house and
the chief clerk. said this afternoon:
''The trouble is due wholly to tight
money. The calls upon US have been
greater than we could withstand; our
collaterals have shrunk in value beyond
all expectation, and. much as we en-
deavored to avert a suspension, we have
been forced to it. No outside spec
ulations have led to this trouble.
1t is tight money and nothing else.
We have done no business of a specula-
tive character as house, and such as
we have done for our customers has
been done on a conservative basis. l
do not feel warranted now in giving the
circumstances that were the immediate
cause of the failure. Mr.. Chase (my
father and Mr.. Legg, his partner, have
both gone home for the day,
but both will be here to-mor-
row morning and they will
be able to make further explanations.
We are unable at present to tell how
we shall come out, but we propose to do
all that we can and to deal honorably
by all our creditors The impression
is strong that the trouble will not be
far-reaching, and that its effect on the
market will be only temporary.

A FIEND's FOUL DEED.
One Hundred Negroes Poisoned at
q Barbecue.

Barbecue.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. E.-One
hundred negroes were poisoned Sunday
near CollIerene, Dallas county. Two
of them died that day and six others
died Monday. The latest news is to the
effect that many others are dangerously
i'll and their death is hourly expected.
A big revival meeting had been going
on a week at a negro church near the
little town of Collierene. which is in
remote section of Dallas county, some
twenty miles from Selma. The
meeting was to close last Sunday, and
ii was decided to give a grand din
ner to all who attended. Elab-
crate preparations were made and there
was plenty of food. One course of the
dinner consisted of barbecued pork.
liberal supply of which was provided.
There were not enough tables and
dishes to feed the entire crowd at once,
or the fatalities would have been much
greater. Soon after those who ate at
the first table finished they complained
of feeling sick, and in a few moments
several of them were suffering severely.
They decided it was the pork that had
made them sick, and no more pork was
eaten. All the physicians in the neigh
bOrhOOd were summoned. and at once
pronounced the sickness the result of
poison. The barbecued pork was
examined and the physicians
found traces of arsenic in it.
The symptoms of all those
taken i'll were those of arsenical poison
ing. Everything possible was done by
the physicians, but two children died
in short time. Next day six grown
persons-four women and two men
died in great agony. Not less than
twenty others were in critical condi-
ton, and expected to die at last ac-
counts. Still others are considered ell
tirely out of danger, and it was a mar
row escape for all who partook of the
poisoned meat. An investigation is
being made by the coroner, but so far
he has not learned who placed the
poison in the meat. The negroes in the
neighborhood are much alarmed, be-
lieving there is an enemy in their midst.
who is determined to destroy them.
The authorities will make every effort
to discover the author of the attempt at
such wholesale slaughter.
