Republican Cs ucus

At a caucus of the House republicans to-
night the follow ing nominations were made {:
For speaker, Frank G. Clsrke Of Peters
boro; clerk, S. s. Jewett of Lacocia !;
assistant clerk, William Tutherly of Clare
mont. At the republic An senat orial caucus
the following nominations were made Pres
dent, John McLsne of Milford; clerk, C.
J. Hambett of Nashus; assistant clerk, f.
II. WATSON of Nashua.
Nearly all the nembers.eiect of the legis-
lature are in town tonight, and the remain
der will arrive tomorrow morning The
Senate will be organized without diff Guilty,
but whether the House can elect officers
without a struggle is not certain tonight,
The uncertainty is caused by the probable
action of Clerk Jewe;t in the preparations
of the roll. lie declined to state tonight
how he proposed TO make up the roll to-
morrow. Should he then have the same
impression. as those testified by him in
court yesterdsy, the roll will con-
tain IA republicans and l52 democratic.
To arrive at this result, he will add the
names of forty "it entitled" members, and
exclude those from the former classed
towns, also those from the towns falling
below the requisite number of iahabit ints
in whole Or in part under the census of
1890. The democratic memhers-elect OF
the Legislature have been in conference
several hours tonight, considering the
course to pursue at the opening Of the
session in the House tomorrow forenoon.
They are firm in the opinian that the clerk
should exclude from the role the names OF
all "if entitled" ard add those elected
from former classed, or rata towns, and
believe they will be justified in resisting
the organization of the house by resorting
to all parliamentary eypedients to secure
constitutional rights. They were in session
az miinight. but had no. decided upon a
definite plan of action.

PALMER FOR PRESIDENT.
A Great Boom for the Illinois Vet.
eran.

eran.
Chicago Herald.
Gen Palmer, since his election, has
received in the neighbOrhOod of l.20O
letters and kilograms. They came from
all over the country, ami may be ac-
cepted as an expression of powerful
trend of political opinion, which will
certainly increase in strength as the
DAYS roll by. In fully four-fifths of
these letters Gen. Palmer's name is
connected with nomination for
the presidency, and the friends
who are nearest the grand
old leader admit they believe Gen.
Palmer will he delegated to lead the
Democratic host to victory. So sure are
they of this result that they predict that
the legislature that "OnveneS in Illinois
in January of 1892 will have an oppor
tunity of selecting a successor to the
next president of the United States to
fill out the uneXpired term of Gen.
Palmer, and that, moreover, he will be
a Democrat also. This would present
the somewhat singular fact that six
legislatures in succession have bailOted
for United States senators and the next
would have the duty of filing Mi. Gull
Ions seat.
The desirability OF Gen. Palmer as
presidential candidate can best be
gathered from the statement made to-
day by we'll known Democrat who has
been prominent figure in the late sen
atorial contest. Said he: with Gen.
Palmer as our candidate we can carry
Illinois. There is not the slightest
doubt of it. With Illinois Democratic,
Indiana is bound to be- This makes
Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Mlnne-
sofa extremely doubtful states, with the
chances more than favorable to the
Democrats. With popular Eastern
Democrat for vice president, all h-ll
could not bring us defeat. The
Cleveland-Hill factiopal fight has
made New York extremely doubtful.
Palmer'S present success has made
Illinois almost certainty, and it would
be far better to drop New York and
gain the Western states than TO en-
danger defeat through party strife. 1t
was Gen. Palmer himself who predicted
months ago that Illinois had become the
dominant state in the politics of the
union, and circumstances show the
truth of his prediction"
This is not idle talk. The sentiment
is growing every day and with Surpris-
ing unanimity the provincial press is
taking up the cry. Gen. Palmer is the
ideal man. His uHpretentiOus and sim
pie ways endear him to the heart of the
working classes, and no man is so
poorly clad who is not given as hOspit-
able welcome as the man who has
been more fortunate in the daily walks

OMAHA LANDS.
Instructions Issued Regarding
Time of Filing.

Special to the Globe.
ASHLAND, Wis, March 17.-One
month from to-day filings will be re-
ceived at the United States land Office
in this city on the unearned Omaha
lands. Instructions were issued to-day
regarding the manner and time of
filings. From the instructions furnished
by the department of the interior the
lands will not be thrown open for set
Element until April IS, but application
to make entries upon any of the lands
affected by the order will be received at
any time from opening to close of
the local land Office on April II.
No action will be taken on applica-
lions by officers on the 18th other than
to note the terms of receipt leaving
them for future disposition in the order
that they are received. On and after
April is the remaining lands will be
open to settlement, and such homestead
applications as may then or thereafter
be presented will be acted upon in the
usual way. Applications will be re-
ceived at the rear of the land Office OH
April II, at 9O'clock. The ruling which
does not throw the land open for settle
ment until the day after filings will be
received is blow at the settlers, who,
on the Wisconsin Central land, made
the applications by mail. and were
given a preference over those in line
Large numbers of land seekers are now
in the city, and it only needs Slight
urging to have the line formed at this
early day. 1t is expected that fully
1900 men will be here On April II. %

Continuation of the Omaha Court
Martial

OMAHA, Neb., March 17.-Capt. W.D.
Spencer, assistant surgeon, was the first
witness called at the second days ses-
sion of the Capt. Galley court martial.
He testified that Capt Galley com
planned of being i'll Dec. 81, when there
was danger OF a battle, and that he had
recommended HIM for the sick list.
Capt. Catley's company was under or
ders to march. and the witness believed
the captain was not able to undertake
the severe operations before the COM
pany. Capt. Catley's legs were swollen
from severe marching, and while he
might have been able for a short march
each day without danger to his health,
DR.. Spencer thought he was not in con
ditiOn to perform severe duty in the
field at that time. Lieut.. Rowell testi-
fed as to Capt. Galley applying for sick
leave when the company was ordered
into the field, although he had not COM
planned of illness previous to that time.

DOODLE IN THE AIR.
Corruption Charged in the Cali
fOrnia Senatorial Contest,

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March 17.-After
a conference held last evening De
Young'sl friends decided to withdraw
his name i'll favor of FELTON,. The JOINT
ballot to-day resulted as follows: Estee,
45: FELTON,, 30; Blanchard, 3: Johnston,
4; Perkins, L: White, p. Necessary to
choice, SO. An adjournment was then
taken till tomorrow. 1t became known
last night that after several conferences
between FELTON, and De YOung,in which
the former expressed doubt as to his
ability to carry the election and offered
to withdraw in De YOung's favor, he was
persuaded from so doing, on the ground
that De Young had himself decided to
withdraw from the contest. The mo-
tive from the latter'S decision, he stated
was the information, which he believed
to be true, that improper offers had
been made to some of his supporters,
and the knowledge that, while il was
apparently impossible for him to secure
the support of all of Felton's ana
B!anchard'S adherentS, it would be Dos
Slble for him to transfer larger part of
his own following to FELTON,, whom he
favored as against the other contest
ants. 1t was, there fore, believed that
the election would be reached on to-
days ballot, but the result showed EStee
had gained suffice Mt supporters to give
him 40 votes, which renEeseals

San Francisco evening papers charge
that Attorney General Hart has in his
possession evidence tending to impli-
cate number of legisla tors. A docu-
ment torn into pieces is said to have
been found and pasted together which
contains a list of those who were to re-
ceive money. The memorandum was
written on a MANILA pad and the i'm
preston went through on the lower
sheet. In connection with the memo
randum were found wrappers from
Fresno bank, showing that they had

certain pieces of papers in the waste
basket IL the Office OF the state libra
rian.
W. S. Leake, assistant state librarian,
is quoted as saying that at O'Clock
this morning two aSSemblymen, who
had been supporting De Young, but
who to-day voted for FELTON,, came into
the state libsarian's private office and
made some figures on a MANILA pad,
which they afterward tore up, and
which he collected and turned over to
some of the lieutenants of Estee.
From these papers the inference is
given out that they definitely disclose
that S2l, 900 was drawn from the Fresno
bank and the list of names of the as
semblymen against whose names the
amounts are written have received

knOwledges that he has the papers in
his possession, but declines, for public
reasons, to make all the facts known at
this time.

DAWSON, March 15.-As one who has,
to the best of his ability, always advo-
Gated the cause of the borrower, ] ask
space in your paper to give what
know to be the status Of this interest
and uSury question in the western part
of Minnesota. We have tried the
present law, that f0rfeits both
principal and interest, and the
only effect it has had on the
money question has been to make bank
erS and money-loanerS law-breakers.
No borrower has reaped any benefit
from it. On the contrary. it makes an
army OF innocent purchasers" that are
growing rich out of the poor debt ana
uSury-burdened borrower IrreSponsi-
bic parties loan money, sell the notes
and mortgages and tell the man who
has been sWlndled to sue and be id.
Under this law. | have known farmers
to pay 100 per cent for money. L stand
ready TO prove this assertion.
1Ou ask these men why they do not
repudlate such damnable contracts and
they tell you, why, had to do that or
worse, and if l don't pay as | agreed to
L can never borrow again." Every man
who has ever raised his voice against
this helliSh state of things is blackliSted.
A money shark in neighbOring town
dld me the honor to say that they
would drive lie out of the country for
writing and talking against their
schemes.
Now if our legislature would give us
a law that would lock up these agents
l 0On't care if it is for life somebody
Will be found who has the ''sand' to
prosecute them. But the old usury law
is dead letter. and we might just as
well have no penalty as to have it.
While we have a law that the maxi
mum rate of interest shall be 10 per
cent, and two banks in this town tell us
openly that their rates are from II 10 IS
up, What will we gain by reducing the
legal rate to & per cent and having the
penalty just what it is now?
These men who loan money claim to
be respectable people and move in good
society. Pass a law that will clothe
some of them in the garb of old Grimes,
except that the stripes will be hOri-
Zontal instead of running up and
down, and | think it may have some
tendency to do this business ION the
sly" at least, if not ION the square"

terest $3.50, and he still owes me for the

and, although others may be found to
do the same work, none OF them will be
disposed TO brag about it. YouIs, etc,

went up there yesterday from here and
found the living cabin locked up and in
good shape; but the men were gone, and
the supposition is that they had started
to come down. 1t is case very similar
to the Streador mine disaster. 1t is not
known when they were killed or where
to look for the bodies, and it is not at
all unlikely that their remains will stay
under the snow until the bare ground
