WA-HISGrOS, March ll.-it looked,
tor few minutes today, as Il tue long
drawn out contest over the Grand hap
Ids pOst-onice ighE had been settled,
bat indications tonight are that the re
lOicings are somewhat premature, aud
tie matter NAV be ia worse tangle
tnan ever. TIE President today sent 10
the senate the nomination Of George G..
Rrggs O. be the postmaster at tsTaad
Rapids The few people who know of
certain clever political move, which had
been made early this morning, were
thundeTstruck and sawatOnce that some
hOty SOLICITATIONS had in some way been
suddenly upset. II twasno wonder that
people we're surprised. Early tins
morning. c. w. Watkins and John
BlOdgett arrived IN town. They didn't
register at any one OF tine hotels, or
make any unnecessary noise, bat they
did some lively hustling. They hustled
10 such good purpose that they sue
ceeded in doing what hitherto no man
has been able TO accomplish, VIZ;
10 secure the support OF
both Senators for Pierce. What
mage they employed 10 bring
this about no one knows, but il Is a
fact that both Stockbrlige and Mcmillan
notified the President OF their desire TO
see Pierce nominated. This matter had
scarcely been settled 10 their satisfac-
ton when Briggs name was sent TO the
Senate. The Senators, Watkins, Blod-
gett, Belknap, everybody, IN fact,
Nho knew what was gong on,
was struck dumb with astonishment.
Belknap had nothing to say, except
that he still believed Fierce would be
postmaster. IL is stated tonight IN ex-
planstlon OF the mystery that Briggs
name was sent to the Senate by mis-
take. His name, as previously tele-
graphed, had been considered in
connection with the place, and
IT Is said that, through mad
vertancc, il was sent to the Senate
today with other nominations.
Efforts arc now being made to induce
the Pr~s''lcnt to withdraw Briggs name
g. -.-,,ltutc Piercc's, and II Is said
th,- adi be done tomorrow, but the
statement can not be verified tonight.
Great pressure will be brought to bear
on the President to induce him to do
this.
IL vas natural TO suppose yesterday
that the evening papers were III re-
ceipt of authentic and final informa-
ton when they announced that Col.
Briggs would succeed Mr. Blair as post
master. Not a suspicion was enter
tanned that they had gone of at half
cock. IL was also natural to suppose
that # such were the case Col. Briggs
would know something about il. 4
visit TO that gentleman was accordingly
in order. The colonel was found sitting
before his Office desk IN hi> shirt sleeves,
busily writing. In response TO an in
qulry II he had received any news from
Washington personally, he replied
"Not word: | know no more about the
matter thar vou DO. | should think
some kind fri'ad at headquarters
might have "a-tercd 20 cents on me
by sending 4 telegram IN regard TO the
matter. They seem 10 think | am a

An Aged Traveller and His Child Leap
From a Flying Express.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27.-Among the
passengers on an early express train from
this city for New York this morning was q
well-dressed old man who was accompanied
by little girl. Nothing unusual in the
actions of either attracted the attention Of
the other passengers until just before the
train reached Holmesburg Junction, a way
station about ten miles from this city. At
this point the old gentleman said something
TO his young companion and went forward
and stepped out on the platform, aud al
though the train was running at high rate
of speed he jumped off.
THE CHILD FOLLOWS HIM.
The little girl who had been watching
him, saw him jump, and before the pas
sengers realized what she intended to do she
had run to the front of the car and jumped
off also. The train was backed and the
man was found dead and the girl insensible.
They were brought to this city.
THE cHILD's STORY.
When the girl recovered consciousness
she said that the old gentleman was her
father, and that his name was Stephel
Beck, and that hers was Lillian Beck, and
that they lived In st. Clair county, Illinois,
and we're bound for Hamburg, Germany.
On the body Of Beck was found two checks
on a st. Louis bank for 1900 marks and
$95 In money. The girls injuries are not
likely 10 prove fatal.

GOVERNOR OF WISCONSIN.

The Convention GOES Wild over Allu-

secretary Villas Chairman of the
Committee that Framed the Platform
Conventions in Other States.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 27.-The Milwaukee
state democratic convention met here to-
day. The temporary chairman, j. Nj. Nor
row of Sparta, made speech, in the course
of which he referred to Grover Cleveland,
whereupon the delegates howled themselves
hoarse in their Efforts to pay tribute to the
ex-President, and for several minutes pan
demonium reigned. A second Rllusicn to
ex-Presidenu Cleveland was the signal for a
sim liar outburss. William T. Villas was
chairman of the platform committee.
The following are extracts from the demo-
cratic platform:
We, the democrats, OF Wisconsin, In couven-
tlon assembled, declare our continued opposi-
tiOn to all forms of paternalism and centraliza-
tion. The Republican party is the exponent of
these dangerous principles, BY the Mckinley
bill 1t seems TO burden the masses with high
protective charges for the benefit OF a fs yored
few. BY lavish expenditure OF an immense
outlay it strives TO corrupt voters BY the force
bill it endeavors TO make its political self per
petual IN placing congress directly under its
control.
PLOT TO DIsFRANcHIsE.
BY its slavish support of the speaker OF the
present House of Representatives, in his arbi-
trary assumption of power, It attempts to dis
franchise its opponents. BY these and other
acts it manifests its disregard Of the just prin-
ciples of government its distrust OF the people
and it's determination to override every
right in its efforts to maintain its suprenl-
acy. Extravaganoe marks republican rule.
The present national ADMINISTRATION has ak
hausted the large surplus received from It's
democratic predecessors and now with con
stantly growing revenues, is threatened with
deficit. The country is burdened with oppres-
siye war taxes enhancing the value Of the
necessa aries of Hfe. The people, especially the
agricultural and laboring classes, ask relief
from these burdens imposed in the interest
of monopolies. The republican party answers
this request by Legislation increasing the tariff
The democratic party insists that the pres
ent tariff be reduced and taxation lowered 10
meet the requirements Of necessary expenses.
In state politics. the Bennett education law
receives much attention. It@ features are CON
demned in DETAIL and "fOr the reasons set
forth," the platform says. 1--WE dencunce the
Jaw as unnecessary, unwlse. Unconstitutional
and undemooratic. aud demand its repeal"
George w. Peck, mayor Of Milwaukee,
was nominated on the sixth ballot for
governor. Carl Jonas Of Racine, ex-consul
to Prague, was nominated for lieutenant
governor, and the convention then ad-
iourned until tomorrow
