tcrnoon at Springfield.
SPRINGFIELD, o., Aug. 6-The Peoples
Party State convention was called to or
der at 2 p. m, to-day in the city hall by
Mrs. Stevens, q newspaper writer, of To-
ledo.
The hall was more p~rofusely decorated
than ever before In its history. Promi-
nent among the decorations are ears of
corn, sheaves Of wheat, punches Of grass,
etc, all Enthusiastically arranged. The
most significant notices are; "Seven
Billion Acres and the Result Nine Million
Mortgaged Honest" "Thlrteen Thousand
Business Failures Annually zone
Million Five Hundred Thousand TrampS
and Millions Of Paupers;'' "How Do You
Like Itf' The Voice of the Poor'o is the

1t is generally conceded that either
Hon John Seitz or Major Cobb, the latter
of Wallston, will get the G~ubernatorial
nomination.
Secretary Hugh Pryor Of Cleveland ar
rived this morning. He said;
"The Peoples Party will name and
elect the next President. The South and
West are thoroughly organized and the
North Il East will be by next fall. If
the election for President was held to-

VETERANS AT WORK
The Grand Army |Encampment
Opened To-Day.
TROUBLE OVER TIE COLOR ISSUE
White Comrades from the South to Force a
Vote on the Question,

It Is Conceded that Washington VIII Have
con4ln in the Lead for Co~mmnndor-in-
Chief-Briniant Reception to Command
er-in-Chiof voazey.
DETRoIT, Mich, Aug. 6-This morning
the sessions of the Grand Army encamp-
ment were formally opened.
Probably the most important question
that will come up for consideration is
the trouble over the color issue in Louisi-
ana. The white comrades from New
Orleans are determined to force a vote
on the question whether or not they
shall be compelled to have osts Of mixed
color, or whether the colored man and
brother in whose behalf they fought
shall not be compelled to get Into posts
by themselves.
II the encampment lays down the law
Of "no color line' the white comrades
threaten to break up the department.
Last Nights Reception.
Last night the comrades hocked out
to tho rink to participate in a reception
to Commander-in Chief Veazey. Elk
Gov, Alger was master Of ceremonies.
Mayor Pingree, In 3 well-chosen address,
welcomed the veterans to the metropolis
Of the Wolverine State and tho Com
mander-in Chief made a brief response.
Brief addresses, breathing a spirit of good
will to the veterans, were made by eN-
President Hayes, Secretary Proctor, Gov
errors Hovey and Page, Gen. Butterheld
and Gen. Fairchild.
Meanwhile ANOTHER great crowd had
gathered at Camp Sherman In the Elk
position building, and thither the same
speakers were hurried and the pro-
gramme repeated.
At midnight the streets were Just as
crowded as sthey were at midday, but
the sleeping accommodations of the city
were ample, and nobody was compelled
to seek a Judgement in the open air.
Washington win Win.
It is pretty well conceded that WASH
ington will get the next eneampment.
The Western posts have made a gallant
fight, and the Lincoln delegation especial
~ have spent money like water. The
Washington crowd, however, had got in
their work, and the Western men have
about given up the fight. Ex-Postmaster-
General Frank Hatton was the leader of
the Washington boomers.
A. G. Weissert, of Wisconsin, Is still
in the lead for commander-in In chief, al
though a combination against him is
probable. The chief argument against
him is that both Wisconsin and Mime
sofa have had the Office In the last decade.

to Create sympathy.
RoNDoUT, N. Y, Aug. 5.-People at
Milton on the Hudson are talking about
the poisoning Of William Stanton, who a
week ago drank coffee in which a large
quantity Of arsenic was subsequently
found.
Stanton now insists that he fixed the
dose himself to draw the sympathy of
the peope and his wife to him, but de-
clines to be interviewed.
Dr., Snow, who attended him, main
tains that Stanton was the victim Of
treacherous people and strong inhuen ces
have closed his mouth from saying any
ing about the case. There are many
who believe an investigation would re-
veal a startling state Of facts such rs
would create a stir unheard OF before In
that village.
Deputy Sheriff Woolsey says he does
not desire to act too hastily in the mat
ter. His attention has been directed to
important facts which have recently
come to light and which may soon lead
to arrests. Mrs. Stanton, who, it is al
legged, Is the cause of all the trouble, Is
apparently unconcerned as to the out
Come.

ERIE, Pa, Aug. Sex Congressman
". L. Scott lies very sick at his resi-

reticent, but there can be little doubt but
that Mr.. Scott is suffering from his old
stomach trouble.
Two weeks ago, on the recommended

water, instead of b~enefting him, aggra-
waited his sickness, and he returned home
to take to his bed, from which he has
scarcely risen since.

to the public regarding Mr.. Scott's con-
dition, they cannot disguise their an xlous
concern, nor the conviction that he is q

New YoRK, Aug. 5.-The body OF the
young girl found choked to death in a
Gle ring half o mile north Of Ridgewood
still lies IN the little morgue off WyckoR
nvegne in that village unidentified.
CSArlcs r. Weber, an alleged florist Of
North Haven, Conn, who said he recog-
nizcd the murdered girl as his niece, was
romancing. The dramatic story he re-
lated Of wealth, love and mystery was
the product, possibly, Of bad liquor and
a d|isordered imagination.
The yarn was 50 well put together,
however, That IL sent Detectives Miller
and Brechner on a wild goose chase
through that part Of Connecticut desig-
mated by Weber. They returned last
night worn out and angry and anxious
to find Weber. He kept out of the way.
Weber was well acquainted with the
country around North Haven, the detect
ives say, and gave q minute description
of roads aud houses leading to his place.
They searched everywhere for Weber,
place and Information Of a missing pirl
named Matilda Habor; but nothing was
learned of Weber or his wealthy niece.
When they were convinced that Weber
had been telling fairy tales they wired
to Coroner Homeyer to hold Weber until
they returned.
