those who think that free coinage will break

TOO MANY POLITICIANS.

The Fist Kick From the Employees of the
Duquesne Traction.
There has been considerable talk.for sew
eral days among the employees of the Du-
quesne fraction road regarding the employ
ment f politicians. 1t is said that g.
great many promises have had to be filed
with ward ''heelers'' and the majority of
the mer thus employed soon leave the road
either through their dislike for the business
or becalse of their incapability. While in
the employ of the company, however, they
become members of the organization, and
this is not received with the greatest favor
by the men who are employed steadily on
the rcal.
Master Workman Dempsey, of D. A. 8, was
seen last night, and, while he was rather ret
icent about the subject he said: "The Du-
quesne road has hardly got down to solid
running basis yet, and there are few irreg

WALKING DELEGATES WANING.

One of the Number Tries to Bring Out
James Owens Men, but Fails.
The power of the walking delegate in this
city appears to be on the wane. One of the
gentlemen who represent the plastering in
terests called upon Contractor James Owens
yesterday and said he would call off his men
if he didn't do something the delegate
wanted him.
Mr. Owens is member of the Builders
Exchange and resents the dictatorship of
the walking idler as much as any of his con-
freres. He always employed union men al
80, the option Of leaving at the demand of the
delegate or of continuing to work for him
independently of the union. They rejected
the delegate and accepted Mr., Owens propo-
sitiOn.

CAMPBELL A STRONG MAN.
Tw, North Carolinians Talk About Sta
and National Politics.

Tw, North Carolinians Talk About State
and National Politics.
Charles n. Vance and Colonel John n.
Staples are guests at the Duquesne. Mr..
Vance is son of the Senator from North
Carolina, and Colonel Staples is an ex-mem-
Der of the Legislature of that State. Colonel
Staples is of the opinion that if Campbell
beats Mckinley for the Governorship of
Ohio, he is certain to receive the nomina-
tion for President in 1892. Such a victory
would give him prestige that would make
him the strongest candidate for the Presi-
dency the party could put forward. Outside
of this Colonel Staples believes that either
Pattison or Senator German, of Maryland
will get the nomination. Cleveland does not
appear to him to have any chance of a
nomination in consequence of the division
in New York.
Mr.. Vance was informed lately that Cleve,
land would not get the New York delega-
ton to the convention. He thinks that
Campbell is becoming a strong man, and will
undoubtedly receive the Presidential nomina-
tion if he beats Mckinley.

Brought Together Again.

of Bloomfield, were married, or rather re-
married, last evening, before Alderman Sam
Kerr, of the Fifteenth ward. The couple
was iirst married in 1889, Rupert being
obliged to take this step under threat of
legal proceedings. Both were under age at
the time, but they continued to reside to-
gether happily under the parental supervi-
sion of Superin tendent Dean, who was ap-
pointed their guardian.
A child, issue of the marriage, died, and
Rupert applied for and obtained divorce,
but was ordered to pay 50 per week toward
his wife's support. The pair came together
again, and patching up old sores, made a
fresh start.

School Principals Change Places.

There is a number of Alleghenians who
desires to know why, if Prof. Henry Kalter-
baugh was not competent to instruct the
children of the North Avenue School, he
should be fitted to do 30 by the youngsters
of the Eighth Ward School; and why, if the
professor is eligi Bile to hold the reins of gov
ernme mt in the latter school, he should have
been deposed from the former.
The directors of the North avenue school
met lately and elected Prof. T. S. Wood, late
of the Eighth Ward School in his stead.
Prof. Kalterbaugh then applied for and OBJ
tanned the position held by Mr.. Wood, but
the salary is some $500 less. In addition to
the turning out of the principal of the Third
Ward School, two of the teachers, both very
competent ladies, Misses Emma c. Evens
and Bella Herring were asked to resign.
And the people are asking themselves as to
the why or wherefore of the whole thing.
