Fairly Launched Upon tho Troub bled
Sea Of National Politics at
Cincinnati.
The Third-Party Idea Ia Unani-
mously Endorsed by the
Great Gathering.
"The Peoples Party of tho United States of
America"-ItA Declaration Of
Principles.

CINCINNATI, May 2O.-After the opening
exercises reports from the committee OF
arrangements helped to kill time pending
exciting developments that many looked for
when the platform committee should be
ready to report. The total number of dele
gates reported was ], 1,417. A terrific uproar was
suddenly caused by Grover, OF Wisconsin,
starting harangue in opposition to organ
izing new party. Yells of "Sit down.
"Put him out!' and similar shouts from
the floor and gallery had no effect. The
chairman pounded wildly with his hammer,
and the Wisconsin man was finally hauled
down by the sergeant-at-arms. When Or
der was restored the committee on perma-
nent organization was heard, and then
Mrs. Helen Cougar, of Indiana, was given
an opportunity to express her sympathy
with the movement and plead for prohi-
bition plank in the convention plat
form. She was generously applauded
Mrs. Cougar denounced the banquet to be
given the delegates to the convention to-
night, declaring that the brewers were
backing it. There was much feeling dis
played over the talk, and it is stated that
Mrs. Cougars delegation will repudiate her
sentiments as to the banquet, and attempt
to discipline her.
United States Senator PETER was at this
point introduced as permanent chairman
of the convention and was given a fatter-
ing reception. After some opposition, the
report of the committee on order of bust
ness, limiting speeches to five minutes, was
adopted. The report outlined programme
for the appointment of 4 national COM
mittee. When the convention re-assemblcd
a letter from L. l.. Polk was read advising
this conference to issue an address and de-
fer action on third party matters until
1892. 1t caused breeZe, and when a mo-
ton to refer it to the committee on resolu-
tions was declared carried, there was loud
demand that the negative be put more for
chilly by the chair.
Ignatius Donnelly, chairman of the COM
mittee on resolutions. climbed upon tn
rostrum at this juncture and almost his
first words caused whirlwind of excite
ment. The declaration from Donnelly
which set the convention wild was to the
effect he was there to report the committee
platform and that the committee was a
unit for the organization of y Ahird party.
"Two alternatives are presented he said,
'either to ignore the third party or divide
the friends of ieform." He gave way to
Robert Schilling, of Wisconsin, secretary
OF the committee who read the platform.

form As read. The convention went wild
and the delegates mounted chairs and ta-
bles. ahoutinR and yelling like Comsnches.
A portion of the con vention, In thunderO1s
chorus, sang to tho tunc Of Good bye, Ny
Lover Good bye" and then the do1oloRy.
The turnult surpassed in Its remarkable
suddenness and vigor anything that had
previously taken place in tho convention
and lasted fully a quarter of an hour, till
II ceased from the sheer exhaustion Of the
delegates.
A prohibition resolution was overwhelm-
ingly defeated and resolution against
trusts was choked OFF on point OF order.
Finally tho report was then adopted with
only three dissenting votes, in the midst Of
q vsritablo pnndemonium.
The convention then got down to busi-
ness in the matter OF choosing national
committee. The roll of states was called
for members of tho national committee,
the convention adopting ths innovation Of
appointing three members from each state.
instead Of ono member AZ the old parties
have. Fl. f. Taubeneck, of Illinois, az
chairman of the national executive COM
mittse. was chosen by acclamation. The
states then selected their representatives.
Montana had no delegates present, it ssema,
as no committeeman were chosen for that
state.

All Bets OF.

NEW ORLEANS, May 20.-Referee Brewster
decided the Bowen and Myer fight on fouls.
The purse will be divided equally, and all
bets are declared off. Thers is much COM
ment on the decision. Under the rules as
generally understood, whom one man fouls
another he loses the fight without reserve.
The referee decided that Myer fouled
Bowen. In fact the foul was 80 palpable
that almost everyone of the spectators
shouted out the decision. 1t was argued
that hereafter, under such ruling, when a
fighter lnds he is whipped he has only to
foul bis opponent to get onehalf of the
purse and enable his friends to get back
any money wagered on him.

The LOTTERY LAW.

Many state Papers Deliberately yio-
lating Its Provisions.
The United States anti-lottery law is
searching and severe in its restrictions
and penalties. 1t prohibits the sending
of any letter or remittance through the
mails regarding lotteries. 1t forbids the
publication of any lottery advertise
ment, including lotteries or prize gifts
of church or other fairs, and also the
announcement of the drawing of any
lottery or chance venture in church CT
social fairs. The penalties are fines and
imprisonment.
Postmaster Doherty of this city, under
| instructions of the postotfice depart
ment, gave notice to the newspapers
some time ago that he would enforce
the law so far as the mailing of news
papers containing such advertisements
or notices is concerned. That's al
right, so far as it goes; but in looking
through our exchanges we find thai
every week lists of articles drawn al
fairs are published and sent through til.
mails from all points of the state. Il
the ruling in regard to fairs applies only
to Waterbury we want to register big
