LINCOLN DAY IN OHIO.
Convention OF Republican Clubs-Mc-
kinIeY Speaks at a BANQUET.

COLUMBUS. o., Feb. 12--The Ohio League OF
Republican Clubs held their seventh annual
convention today. In point of oratory and
enthusiasm it compared favorably with
the state Republican convention of
last spring. Governor Mckinley and
Ex-Governor Foraker made eloquent
speeches. Governor Mckinley said the Demo
cratic house OF congress had said they would
root out the present tariff law, root and branch.
He predicted that they would not eliminate one
item in the next twenty years. Ex-Governor
Foraker regretted that the matchless leader
James g. Blaine, had Withdrawn from the presi-
Dental contest, but was certain that all Ohio
Republicans would support the candidate of the
Minneapolis convention, no matter whether the
choice should be the present president or ohio's
great statesmen, William Mckinley. jr

gram OF regret was read from Chauncey II. De-

THE PUYALLUP INDIAN LANDS.
Interested Tacoma Persons Don't Like
Secretary Mobiles Plan.


TACOMA, Feb 12.-ISpecial. Paul schulze,
general land agent of the Northern Pacific, said
tonight that the trouble with Secretary Noble
in making recommendations regarding the dis
position of the lands OF the Puyallur reaerva-
tion. is that he is influenced by Mr. Morgan,
commissioner of Indian affairs, a crank philan-
thropist, who believes every Indian on q
reservation to be an angel, and that every white
man within 800 miles of the reservation 10
laying awake nights thinking how he can
rob the poor Indian. The question OF the North
ern Pacics title to the odd sections In the Puy-
allup reservation win be settled without reier-
enoe to the recommendations of the commission
or Secretary Noble. 1t will be decided accord
ing TO the law as interpreted by the supreme
court OF the United States.
schulze says that Morgan is interfering with
the Yekima irrigation project, of which he
(Schulze) is president. Morgan says that the
action OF the company in building dam across
the Yakima river has no warrant in law, and IL
practical violation OF the treaty trights of
the Indians to fish in the Yakima river. schulxs
says the fact Is that the Indian agent on the
Yakima reservation wanted TO be seen and was
not, for which reason he reported this stipend
Gus treaty violation to the commissioner, who
is so anxious to preserve the Indian rights
under church influence. 1t is no such inter-
ference.
The Indians seen tonight are unanimous in
obiecting to the propositions OF Noble Ia
comsns who have bonded the reservation lands
confident that the restrictions win DO re-
moved, because the Indians themselves demand
ii. The land which Noble wishes set aside is
the most valuable of the reservation and could
be most readily sold.
Ex-Judsc Wickersham says Agent Eells IA

of the trustees TO handle the money.
The recommendations of Secretary Noble re-
garding the disposition of the Puyallup Indian
reservation dsplease Peter stanup, who will go
10 Washington in few days to recommend to
congress that the restrictions be removed with
out qualification. Mr.. stanup says the Indians
want freedom and viii not submit to a commits
sion handling their money for twenty five years.
Rather than do that. he says. they will wait till
the treaty restrictions expire. The courts, ho
says. will be appealed to to set aside any further
restrictions.

ALLIANCE AND CoRDAGE TRUST.
PETER and Simpson Say the Farmers
Had Marrow Escape.

CHICAGO, Feb 1.-THE r lter OCEANS Washing
ton City special says: President Polk, when in
terviewed regarding the Inter Oceda's exposure
of the cordage trust, says that year ago Oswald
Wilson came to him and unfolded scheme of
the Alliance entering into busines relations with
the National Union Company. He refused to have
any thing to do with it, but later in the season
learned that his name had been placed on a
circular by the company as chairman of a COM
mittee OF three on the part OF the Alliance. He
wrote to the president of the company about it,
and the latter promised to rectify the error.
Senator PETER said it is quite possible that
some OF the Alliance people have been over
reached. He does not think, however, that the
Alliance is going to be captured by the cordage
trust. The farmer is in great distress. He sees
combines on every article raised, and perhaps
he naturally supposes the way to help himself
is 10 combine also. This is probably one of the
reasons why some of the Alliance men have
Joined the National Union.
Dr. McCune said he went to the New York
meeting last June determined to probe the
scheme to the bottom. After hearing the plan
he saw no bar in the way OF the Alliance accept
ing the company's terms. He thinks the Na-
tional Union is all right.
Jerry Simpson says the Alliance had narrow
escape from getting into the clutches of
gigantic trust, but the scheme was happily dis
covered in time, and when the Alliance met In
convention in indianapolis last November the
National Union Company wen; under.

THE ANTI-HILL CAMPAIGN.
Methods of the Machine Condemned at
Another Big Meeting.


BROOKLYN, Feb. I2-An anti-Hnl meeting
was held at the Criterion theater tonight and
was largely attended. Augustus HeaIy opened
tine meeting with a rebuke of Hill ard his fol-
towers, and was cheered at every point, and
there were repeated cheers for Grover Cleve-
land. Edward NJ. Sheppard, chairman of the
meeting, spoke in severe condemnation of the
act Oh the Hill men in calling such an early con-
yention. He followed by John Dewitt
warner, whose speech was the principal one OF
the evening.
speakership. He said Mills was beaten by q
combination OF those opposed to the manage
ment under which the Democratic party had
succeeded, of which combination tie New
by Governor Hill, was the principal factor,
whatever may have been the motives of the
others. Warner stated that in his opinion HILLS
plan as defined in his Einlira speech. was to
call halt in the tariff reform and bring free
coinage 10 the front. The people did right
to protest against O midwinter convention. 1t
was only the last and crowning crime of long
series that the present Democratic state organ
ization had committed, and he took il that the
meeting meant that the people were not going
merely 10 repudiate the convention now called
but to give notice that they would visit with
political death any man or organization that
dares thus to forge the name OF the New York
Democracy.
Warner was loudly applauded and resolutions
were then adopted in line with those adopted at
the New York meeting last night continuing
the committee of twenty-five who called this
meeting and requesting them to enlarge their
numbers to 100 and take such steps as they may
deem wise to promote the purposes of the meet
ing.
Rev. Dr. Charles H. Hall next voiced his pro-
test and was followed by Fred Henrichs, after
which the meeting broke up amid enthusiastic
cheers

NORTH YAKIMA, Feb 12.-lspcclsl. THE
Observation-Disclosures correspondent today re-
ceived tho news from Fort simcoe, the head
quarters OF the Yakima Indian agency OF
tragedy which occurred there on Monday
Frank Abraham, young Indian, had been
found guilty o. adultery BY tine Indian court,
and the sentence was that he pay fine OF so.
This aroused the hot blood OF the young buck,
and drawing huge knife in court he cursed
both judge and sheriff, and swore that he would
neither pay the fine nor submit to imprison-
ment. Brandishlug his knife in the air he
made his way out of the courtroom, mounted
his esyuse and, in company with another In
dian charged with the EsTae crime, took flight
toward the mountains. The court ordered
tho reservation sheriff, Franklin r. olney,
also an Indian, to follow and arrest
Abraham. Olney came up with the fugitive
about a half mile from the courthouse as he
was in the act of dismounting at neighbors
house, and ordered him to surrender.

HANFORD AND PRIrCHARD.
Probably President Harrison Will Carr
Out His Recent Intention

TACOMA, Feb 12--fSpecial Local politicians
and professional friends of w. II. Pritchard
cannot imagine how there can be any opposition
to him as a successor of Judge Hanford on the
United States district court bench, provided the
latter is promoted to the circuit court bench.
The Washington City dispatch which was pub
lished in Thursdays PosT-INTELLIGENCER, to
the effect that the opposition to kim had re-
suited in delay in announcing the appointment
set the friends of Pritchard to thinking and
casting about for possible opposition, but they
claim to be unable to imagine any, and con-
clude that the Washington City dispatch was an
error in the statement OF fact
McKenna, the friends OF both Hanford and
tion OF Hanford and the candidacy of
Pritchard. The most cogent argument in
favor of this belief is that inasmuch
as both Congressman McKenna and Senator
Allen sat in the congress that passed the bill
creating another judgeship for the Ninth dis
trict, neither could, with propriety, be ap-
pointed to the Office thus created. Therefore,
McKenna now having been appointed, presum-
ably to fill the position mnde vacant by the
death of Judge Sawyer, Senator Allen cannot
noS be considered in any wise eligible. Ac-
eordtngly, California man having been named,
the remaining iudgeship will fall to either Han
ford, OF Washington, or Gilbert, of Oregon, and
that Pritehard will succeed Hanford.
1t was thought today that if the appointment
was not sent in until next week, Hanford's
chances OF being called to the ci-cuit bench,
and of Pritchard being named to succeed him,
would be much more promising.

LONDON, Feb. 12.-[ Associated Press,
Copyrighted 1892. Until Balfour intro
duces his Irish local government bill on
Thursday next the proceedings in parlia-
ment viii be mere party skirnishing
Though the ministers decline to satisfy
politicians who crave to know the gist of
the Irish proposals, the draft of the bill,
which is now in type, is known to contain
clauses rivaling in complexity Balfour's
land act. A high informant describes it
as in substance an application of the Eng
iish county council act, without adhering
strictly to existing county areas.
With view to protect the minority, that is.
conservative strength, in districts where
the national vote is strong, arbitrary cleo
toral boundaries are created. As in Eng
land, three-fourths of the members of each
council are to be elected by the ratepayers,
portion of the rest by the councillors,
and certain number by the Irish execu-
tive. The councils are to have control of
the local police, excepting the appoint
ment of chief constable: control of licens-
ing, administration Of the poor law,
asylums, industrial schools and prisons.
excepting stated government prisons. and
roads and public works. The imperia,
police are to be maintained in less-ned
force.
A conference of Irish landlords recently
sent Balfour, through the Duke of Aber-
corn, demand that clergymen be ex-
cluded from county boards. the aim being
to deprive priests of influence. Balfour
declined to comply with the wishes of the
landlords
The Irish leaders Of both groups have
declared readiness to adopt what they can
of Balfour's proposals, but concur that
the bill will be found in the main impos-
sibe of acceptance. An early result of the
combined attack on this bill will be re-
union of the Irish party.
In the commons debate was continued
on Redmonds amendment in favor of re-
leasing treason-felony prisoners. Fitz-
gerald complained of the silence of Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, whom he re-
garded as the real jailer of Egan and Daily.
Sir William, he said, had Stunned
debate. The prisoners had been con-
victed of the most heinous crime
that could be conceived. He
concluded by denouncing Fenianism as
calculated to lncite outrages. His remarks
about Fenianism were frequently warmly
interrupted by Irish members. Redmond
strongly repudiated the assertion that
Fenianism melted violence. He said,
among Irish cheers, that men in Ireland
had been driven to desperation by the
tyranny of successive governments. After
further debate Redmond's amendment
was negatived-16S to 81.

son sent letter OF regret, in which
he said public duties in Washing
ton City would not permit him to
be present Among others sending letters of re-
gret were Senator Sherman, Governor Mckinley,
Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew, Hon. J. s. Fassett,
Hon. Thomas B. Reed General Alger, Hon.
Henry Cabot Lodge and Hon. Theodore Roose-
welt. The principal address of the evening was
by Senator Shelby Cullom, who recently an
nounced himself as a candidate for the presi-
dency of the United States, and who responded
to the toast Abraham Lincoln" After sketch
ing the life of the illustrious president and re-
iating many personal "reminiscences, Senator
Cullom proceeded to contrast the records of the
Republican and Democratic parties The former
he characterized as party of progression, and
the latter as one OF negation. Continuing, the
speaker said:
Don't" has always been the burden of
the Democratic song, and is now at this mo-
ment. Its large majority in the House
OF Representatives is chorusing Don't" Mills,
the great disappointed, is saying to Crisp,
shouting at Senator Hill, Don't" and standing
by himself, solitary and alone, upon the high
eminencs OF objection, Holman is crying
Don't at every person and everything. Gem
tlemen, while Lincoln lived, the Democratic
party embarrassed him continually with
its "Donts." Il fusilladed him with
career, and I'm sure if he were among them
now, venerable in his Sith year, upon every
suggestion made by him he would be pelted
with Democratic "Don'ts," but ii he were here
with us now in person, as he certainly is in
spirit, he would regard as little as we do the
opposition OF this organized objection to every
thing progressive, and would urge US to hold
fast to the doctrine OF protection to American
industry modified by the. policy OF
reciprocity. lie would bid us also,
i sure, to hold fast to the
doctrine of honest money for honest people, ap-
piled in craftsmanship to bring about at
an early day the re-establishment of silver to
its former dignity a money metal, the equal
of gold in coinage and tender. He would ad-
wise us also, believe, that it is the duty of the
Republican party to continue to insist upon,
and, il need be, compel in some way general
recognition OF the equality OF all citizens before
the law.
Hon. J. p. Dolliver of Iowa, responded to
"Our Party" Several other speeches were de-
Hvered.
Lincoln's birthday is legal holiday through
out the state, and such was celebrated.
Banks, exchanges, and some business houses
were closed
