THIRD PARTY.
Convention of NOn-P0litical
Wing of the Alliance.
TRIcksTER MAcUNE DENOUNCED
New York Democrats Organize and Ad-
journ-Ex-Congressm Davidson APP
pointed Senator From Florida.

ST. LOUIS, Sept 1.-THE anti-third party and
antisub-treasury wing of the National Farmers
Alliance met at 1890 this morning. Not more
than half the number of delegates expected
were present. The convention was called to or
der and temporary organization ehected by
the election of u. S. Hall, ex-presldent OF the
Missouri Alliance as chairman. After the ap-
pointmeut of committee on credentials, the
temporary organization was made permanent 1t
was decided TO appoint committee OF five to
outline plan of procedure to be presented to
the convention.
The afternoon session was very lively. The
committee resolutions includes w. s. Nc
Allister, of Mississippi; D. Ransom, of Tennes-
see: C. A. Hitler and J. F. Davidson, of Missouri;
B. C. Bragg, of Texas; W. D. Wilsey. Of Illinois,
and r. J. Mcconnell, of Iowa.
The committee went to work at once to pre-
pare the platform. DR.. w. Polk Ieaman. OF
Missouri, delivered an address on the govern
ment land loan and sub-treasury schemes, OPP
posing both. The committee on resolutions
made partial report embodying the principles
of the Fort:worth platform, with an additional
resolution denouncing C. W. Macune as cor
ruptionist and henchman of the others.
This clause of the report caused a heated de-
bate.
Wade, of Tennessee, insisted that the clause
should be striker out. He held that the con-
vention not called to make personal at
tacks. although he acknowledged Macune's dis
honesty.
Yeaman also urged that the clause be striker
out.
Chairman Hall argued against the motion to
strike out. He denounced Macune a tool of
the politicians and monopolies, and having ac-
cepted a bride for them, the Alliance should
denounce him.
McAllister, of Mississippi, said Macune is an
octopus encircling the escutcheon of ORDER
and should be denounced.
Murray and Gooteman, of Texas, also de-
nounced Macune and motion to strike out the
denuneiatory resolution clause was defeated
26 yeas, A nays 1t is probable the platform
as presented will be adopted tomorrow.

SARAH BERNHAEDT's NIGHT.
All Arrangements Made for Her APP
pearance in Seattle.

Definite arrangements for the coming appear
ance of Sarah Bernhardi, the greatest exponent
OF tragedy living, were completed this morning
upon the arrival in this city of Mr.. D. c. Will

Bernhardt and Mr.. Abbey.
Upon my arrival here this morning. said
Mr. Willoughby 70 a observation-disclosures re-
porter, II found that the most unusual interest
was manifested in the coming of the great
French tragedienne, and also found that the
seating capacity OF Mr. Hanna's theater was not
sufficient to supply the extraordinary demand
for seats and in order 10 further accommodate

written especially for her by Vietorlen Sardou,
who is, without doubt, the greatest OF living

Bernhardt none of her plays held more I'M
portant relation to herself as an actress, and
there are many who look upon Fedora as her
greatest performance. The sale of seats for this
memorable engagement will occur Thursday
morning next at Hansen's iewelry store, zoo
Front street. The price for seats for the engage
rnent will be the same at Portland and Ia
coma, S. being the charge for the best seats
Mr. Willoughby, when asked why such sud
den change of theatres had been made, replied
that il was simply on account of the greater
seating capacity of Cordray's and that in every
other respect the season would be under the
same auspices and management as it would
have been had Nine. Bernhard played at the
Seattle opera-house Mr.. Hanna has the success
OF the Bernhardt season very much at heart,
and look upon him a most efficient and ca

The contracts with the Cordrsy company were
signed this morning, and this announcement
of change of base can be looked upon as def

direct from Tacoma, and it requires a special
car and two private cars one private sleeper

Mr.. Willoughby, with every feeling that the
desire of the people of Seattle to see the great

no question to the success of the engage

"The city ought to appoint fire marshal"
said d. A. Spencer, secretary of the Home Fire
Insurance Company, to a -INTELLIGENcER
reporter yesterday tO see that the city fire ordi
nanees are complied with and to investigate
carefully the origin of every fire that takes place
in the city. To that end each fireman should be
required to report to the fire marshal every cir
cunstance worth noting which may have come
under his observation at the time of the fire.
The marshal should be entirely out of politics.
have a case in another city in mind where,
if the three iremen who first got to the fire had
noted every circumstance connected with it,
two arrant scoundrels would have been sent to
the penitentiary, but when they came on the
stand they told their story in such vague way
that their evidence amounted to nothing and
the parties who undoubtedly set fire to the
building not only escaped punishment but col
leeted their money from the insurance COM
panies
"If city gets the reputation of running down
an incendiary and sending him to the peniten-
tiary it becomes good moral hazard and the
rates are greatly reduced in consequence. Fully
% per cent. OF the charge on rates in this town
is made on account of the moral hazard. Oak
land is town of about the same size as Seattle
and has not nearly good a fire department,
yet the rates are lower all around because of the
lesser moral hazard, as it is a quiet, settled,
well-to-do town"

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.
Temporary Organization Effected and
Adjournment Taken Until Today.


SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept 15-The Democratic
state convention was called to order at noon.
George Rains, of Rochester, was chosen temper
airy chairman, and began his address. He said:
The campaign which draws upon us is to be
fought upon the records of the parties in the
state administration. 1t will assure the conf
dence of the people in their actual leadership
We are no longer left to conjecture as to the Re-
publican leadership. Plattism stalks in the
midday of popular view and judgment The
most conspicuous plank in the Republican plat
form is the precise acknowledgment of recip-
rocity in trade with foreign people, as advan-
tageous to all our industries.
The temporary chairman pointed with pride
to the growing commerce of the country and
reciprocity with our American neighbors in
duced by the matchless foresight OF Secretary
Blaine. The foresight SO commended dates
from February, 1890, and was very hateful to the
Republican congress- 1t came too late to stop
the movement of the people in every state to
retire that Republican congress. The foresight
of the people had been exercised at a much
earlier period, and had been kept active by the
wlilful refusal OF congress to give such a reduc-
ton OF the tariff as would make it competitive,
not prohibiiory. 1t is along the lines of state
affairs that this contest must wage most
keenly The people are weary of the dictation
OF the legislature not charged by the people
with ONCE. They realize that Platt Shad been
the breath in the nostris of Senator Fassctt
during his whole career. Fassett's leadership
has been forced upon his associates by every
appliance OF machine politics. He held by the
throat the largest interests in the state until
they gave up a bride of place or subservence to
the ambition of Plat. The speaker dwelt at
length ON state affairs. Speaking of the last
census, the speaker said that the state by it was
robbed of its equal right at the ballot box. He
scored the Republican legislature for its failure
to do various things for the good of the state
ana people. In closing he eulogized Hill and
hoped the mantle of succession in the high office
of governor would fall upon as brave and skill
ful leader and as true a Democrat as the COVER
nor-senator.
When Rains referred to Governor Hill he was
enthusiastically eheered. After the roll call

ADJUSTMENTS.
Matinee At Cordraxs.

There were few vacant seats in the Coriray
theater last night, and the greeting extended the
performers was OF highly stimulating charac-
ter. The stage mechanism was so perfect and
80 well dire cted that the fine panoramas of
scenery were unfolded without a single hitch.
Bursts of applause were frequent and prolonged
during the entire representation, and there were
curtain calls at the close of every act Perhaps
no other play produced on the stage of this
popular house has shown such evidences of
careful preparation and finished acting. In
the auditorium there are many interesting and
amusing acts which cannot fail to entertain all
who patronize this portion of the Cordray pro-
gramme for the week. Ladies' matinee will be
given this afternoon at the usual hour.
