but there are 250.000 Democratic voters

New York and German.
The early morning sentiment in the
New York delegation is decidedly Cor
manish Not u member of the delega-
ton but is still positive in his allegiance
to Hill, but they are willing to admit
that New York might think quite favor
ably of Germans candidacy if Hill were
out of the way.
State Treasurer Danforth, who is one
of the hardest workers for Mr.. Hill,
was asked the situation Monday morn
ing, and declared that Mr.. Hill was
gaining in strength.
What is the sentiment in the delega-
ton relative to Mr.. German" was
asked by the United Press representa-
tive.
"Mr. German is man, | have no
doub., that would pull out New York's
full Democrat vote" said Mr.. Dan
forth. "Mr. German is especially
strong in the south. He can have every
southern delegate if he shows any
strength in the convention"
"Wlll New York give him her seven
ty-four votes in case Mr.. Hill can not be
nominatedY
"We are for Mr.. Hill as a unit; but /
before remarked Mr.. German is not dis
tasteful to the New York delegation"
Mr.. Danforth is delegate and one
of the most conservative in the delega-
ton. He is an enthusiastic Hill man,
and in view of all this, his utterances
are significant.
Manifesto No. 1.
The manifesto issued Monday morning
was from the Hill heaquarters. 1t was
a copy of communication addressed to
Chairman Murphy officially under date
Of June IL by Thomas j. Bowling, presi-
dent of the New York state trade assem-
bly,, an organization of 900 working
men. In this communication Mr.. Dow
ling says that he is directed by the Off
GERS of the state trades assembly to call
attention to the fact that Governor Hill,
while chief executive of New York,
from 1885 to 1899, was the friend of or
ganized labor, and was heartily sup
ported by the workingmen in his cam
paign. The communication calls atten-
ton to what Governor Hill did for the
cause of labor in his appointments and
in his endorsement of labor measures.

Lost-Great Damage Done.
BAYOU SARA, La, June 21.-The new
levee on the bayou protecting the town
of Bayou Sara gave way at $40 Sunday,
and by noon the town was totally sub
merged to a depth ranging from four to
eleven feet. Though the warning had
long been sounded, both by the press and
individuals, it was only through the al
most superhuman efforts of brave men
that not single life was lost, although
there We're many narrow escapes. All
reached the haven of safety, the high
grounds of st. Francisville, in drench-
ed and, in some instances, in terrified
and exhausted condition, and many Of
them are made homeless. The loss of
property, both public and personal,
amounts to thousands of dollars, though
no estimate has yet been made.

thought they had counted more than
one-third of the delegates against Cleve-
land, of whom majority were German
men. All that the opposition has been
striving for in the past few days is
enough strength to prevent the nomi-
nation of Cleveland ON the first ballot.
After that ballot his enemies think his
strength will be divided. Pledges and
instructions will be disrcgarded and
delegations will divide their votes ac-
cording to individual preference.

The result of the combination was

Failing in this, the intention is to cus

Republicans are investigating this
and other similar importations with a
view to thwarting the Democratic
scheme before election day.
Eastern Democratic papers, and the
Wheeling Register, during the past week
have contained dispatches purporting
to be from Elkhorn and other southern
points, reporting that large bodies OF
Republican negroes have come into
West Virginia from Tennessee and Vir-
ginia. In some instances these stories
coincide with the private information
received at Republican headquarters
here, to the effect that Democrats are
bringing in men, not TO the Republican
counties of Mercer and Mcdowell, but
to the Democratic county Of Logan where
all the machinery is in the hands OF the
Democrats.

AupIToR WILKINSON TAIKs.

BE seys n statemont which Appears below
is in Accord with tho FactS.
Last night an INTELLIaENcER reporter
called on Mr.. Howard P. Wilkinson,
auditor of the gas board, and asked him
whether, in view OF the failure to in
vestigate, he would not give the public
through the INTELMeENcER full and
impartial statement.
"No," said Mr.. Wilkinson, Gin view
OF the investigation that has been or
dered 1 prefer to say nothing. II called
before the committee l shall OF course
make truthful answer to any questions
that may be put to me-"
"Well, Mr.. wilkinson, while the pub
lie is waiting for the investigation and
vindication that may never come, the
INTEILrGENcER asks you to look care
fully over this statement and say
whether it correctly sets forth the facts
connected with the Franzheim matter.
"Where did you get those figures? ?"
asked Mr.. Wilkinson.
"I am not instructed by, the INTELLI-
eENoER to inform you OF that. l am
sent to ask you FIRST for statement,
and If you refuse to give that to ask you
to say whether the statement have
shown you is true or false, part true or
part false, or all true and accurate i'll
every item and particular. The INTEL
IIGEHcER simply asks an answer to this
ouestion-Is this true statement OF the
facts2"
Mr.. Wilkinson read the statement
and read it again, meanwhile making
no comment and keeping his eyes in
tently on the paper, evidently more en-
gagged with his own thoughts than with
facts and figures with which as the gas
boards auditor he was already only too
familiar. The silence was becoming
painful, when the reporter said, "Mr.
Wilkinson, YOU have gone over that
paper twice. You certainly know by
this time whether it correctly sets forth
the discovery OF the late secretary's
shortages and his payment OF those
respective amounts to the board as
specified and for the reasons and at the
times given. What is your answer?"
Mr.. Wilkinson thought second
longer. 1t was evident that he was GO
ing through conflict and laboring un-
der intense embarrassment. He then
looked up from the paper, and said:
"As near as / can remember the figures,
the statement is correct"
"Can you point out, Mr.. Wilkinson,
any particular in which the statement
as to the facts or the figures differs
from your personal knowledge Of the
case in any Of its featuresr
az can not" replied Mr.. Wilkinson.
"Can you explain any OF the facts or
figures here submitted to you?"
~ don't care to enter into any OF the
81 desire particularly to ask you, Mr..
wilkinson, whether in view oil this
statement which you declare to be
true, YOU can say anything that would
be accepted in vindication OF the late
secretary Of the board or that would
make the case appear any better for
him?" .,,

DErRIor, Mich, Nov. 1.-The electoral
vote of Michigan will be distributed by
congressional districts. The districts
are fourteen in number, two at large
and twelve for the congressional dis
trict. The Republicans, according to
their figures, will probably choose eight
presidential electors, one in the western
district at large and in the second.
third, fourth, fifth, ninth, eleventh and
twelfth districts. The Democrats are
conceded the sixth in the eastern dis
trict at large and in the first, sixth,
seventh, eighth and tenth districts.
The Peoples party and Democrats have
fused on one elector in the fourth dis
trict. In the sixth and seventh there
was small Republican majority, but
conservative men concede that fusion is
likely to overcome it. AS to the vote
on congressman conservative estimate
gives the first, fourth, seventh and tenth
districts to the Democrats by reason Of
natural majorities, while Republicans
claim that the first and fourth are most
likely TO 20 in their favor.

THE STATEMENT OF FACTS.

How Secretary Franzhoim's Shortages
onme-whon and How He blade Them
Good.
Following is the statement submitted
to Mr.. Wilkinson and pronounced by
him a correct and truthful narrative OF
the delinquency in the gas board;
The books in the office Of the gas
board have not shown correctly the
condition OF the boards affairs; they
have shown cash balance which
the board did not have, and they have
not shown certain shipments OF prod
ucts sold by the board, nor have they
shown certain monies received in pay
ment therefor.
While A. A. Franzheim was secretary
OF the board Of gas trustees no drew out
side Of his salary various sums aRgre-
eating S2,77S 5S, for which he deposited
in the cash drawer personal slips, the
drawer being in q burglar-prooi chest
Of which only himself had the combina-
tion. This amount was, under compul-
sion of the trustees, refunded by Franz
helm December Is, 1891, nearly two
weeks after he had ceased to be secre-
tary Of the board.
After Franzheim had ceased to be
secretary Of the board the books cover
ing his torn OF office showed that the
Barrett Manufacturing Company, oi
Pittsburgh, owed the board s., l2S so,
balance due OH coal tar furnished that
company. A sight draft for this amount
was sent and returned, accompanied
by q letter saying that the Barrett
Manufacturing Company owed only
sTe5. This company claimed TO have
received Q, ,Ie3 barrels Of coal tar amount
