HARRISBURG. Nov. 24.--By a decision
In the courts here Father NJ. j. Mcbride,
a CATHOLIC priest, is GU, off from an in
heritance OF 81, 500. One year ago Robert
Brennan died in this city A few hours
before his death he had signed will be-
queathing his entire estate to Father Nc
Bride. William and Richard Brennan, of
Buffalo, nephews of the dead man and his
only relatives, contested the will on the
ground of undue influence. 1t was brought
out in the case that Father Mcbride re-
fused to administer the last rites Of the
church to Brennan until he signed the
will
Father McBridc's Clerical Record.
Brennan was about 81 years old. After
the will was signed the rites of the church
were administered. Father Mcbride used
to be vicar general of the Harrisburg
diocese, embracing large territory in
central pennsylvania, and was acandidate
for bishop two years ago. When he was
vicar general Of the diocese he was sus-
pended for alleged cause. and Father Nc
Govern OF Danville was appointed bishop
by the pope. He removed Mcbride, who
is now in charge of a small parish at Bon
neville. Nd

Chicago Notified That She Is Not Hon.
estly in the Race.
When Nebraska was reached John
NJ. Thurston, holding the proxy for
that state, introduced Judge Scott AS
the spokesman on behalf of Oma-
ha. He did not claim that the sun was
always shining in Omaha. as it was said
to do in Minneapolis Judge Scott re-
ferred to the promises which he said Chi
cayo had made when asking the support
Of other western committees to get the
Worlds fair. IF Chicago takes this con-
vention," said he, "it is dignified larceny
Gentlemen of Chicago, you cannot take
the convention and break faith with these
western people and go unwhipped Of JUS
tice, and you shall not" Senator Man
derson of Nebraska. next spoke for Oma-
ha. his ringing voice reaching every part
OF the hall and its effective points eliciting
hearty cheers.
"The Gateway of the New Empire"
Senator Carey, introduced by Thurston
as sour neighbor from Wyoming" added,
his voice for Omaha, which was the gate
way of the new empire. Six new states,
west and north of it would vote for the
first time for president aud vice president
in 1892 aud would vote for the Repub blican
candidates Omaha was on the great
highway to the Pacific. It was the best
compromise location. Judge Thurston
closed the argument for Omaha. He had
no prophecies of disaster to make so long
as the Republican party stood for Ameri-
can manhood, American muscle, and
American citizenship, no matter where
the convention might be held.
The Claims of Gotham Presented.
| New York being next in order Colonel
Elliott Shepard said that, barring the
claims of various other cities, there stood
| the claims Of the candidates. 1t would
hardly be denied that should Cincinnati
be the choice the distinguished gentleman
who filed the chair at the White House
would find it exceedingly convenient. II

"e-n grauuaIIy growing during the
peeches of Hiscock and Haw-
ley eliminated when the Repub-
'ican standard bearer in the last
campaign, Mr.. j. Sloat Fassett, was
presented as the next speaker. The con-
yention arose at his coming and cheered
niIn to the echo.
Fassett Gives Blaine a Boom.
1t became evident that New York had
the sympathies of the crowd, though
othas cities might get the votes. As Mr..
Fassett warmed up he carried his audi
ence with him, and when he declared that
an attempt had once Leen made to elect
Republican without New York and that
the result, "aided by Burchard, had been
to lose the victory to the grandest Repub-
lican of us all" he applause was loud
and long. He did not believe the holding
OF the convention in New York would
make fifteen converts in that city, but he
did believe it would make it 1900 easier
to carry New York state.
Ex-senator Edmunds' Remarks.
An hours recess was then taken aud
after recess ex-senator Edmunds ad-
dressed the committee. He said that he
was for the first time in twenty-fiv years
free and independent citizen, private,
square-toed Republican. And it was not
much consequence where the convention
was held; the important thing was that
all should acquiesce in the judgment Of
the committee, and agree that for the
happiness OF this republic it was better
that the poorest Republican should occu-
py the presidential chair than the best
Democrat. The ex-senator was heartily
cheered.
Spoke. a Good Word for st. Louis
Missouri being next called upon Chaun-
cey |. Filley, who was warmly greeted,
made Il ringing and amusing speech on
behalf of st. Louis. He came, not to
make an appeal, but to ask justice; not to
plead for a moss back state in the hope of
changing moss-back vote, but to claim
the convention for what St Louis had
done in the past in electing Republican
congressman. and making possible the or
gan:zation of a Republican house without
postage stamp of help from the party
elsewhere, or from Wall street.
The speeches all having been made, au
informal ballot was taken to see how the
committee stood. Chicago was not in the
race, and did not get vote during the
ballotiDg. The informal ballot resulted:
New York, Q; Omaha, 3; Minneapolis. 13;
cincinnati, 4; San Francisco. 8; Detroit, 1;
Plttsourg, 2; st. Louis, l; Chattanooga, l.
Foraker Speaks for Cincinnati.
Ohio was then called and ex- Governor
Foraker followed, and was received with
great applause In the course of his re-
marks. which of course were mainly de-
voted to presentation of the advantages
offered by Cincinnati for a national con-
vention, he said the people he represented
would depose him If it was possible for
him to utter word Of disparagement
against any other city which might be
selected. The claims of Pittsburg and
Chattanooga were then presented, and
| the speaking closed.
