WEAVER AND DOSNELLY DID 1T.
They Manipulated the Industrial Con-
ference for Third Party.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 27.-Now that the industrial
conference is over, some peculiar facts are BENZ
revealed. 1t is said that the entire affair. from
the issuing Of the call by the Ocaia convention
TO the present day was Planned aud execu eli by
j. 3. Weaver, Ignatlus Donnelly, Herman f..
Taubeneck, &. f. Wsshburne, J. II. Davis,
c. c. Post, Of Georgia, and J. l. Norton,
of Chicago. 1t became evident that the
Southern element was strongly opposed TO
independent political action, and the leaders in
this line were DR.. Macune aud Ben Te-,ill of
Texas. and Living:one. OF Georgia. Those
in favor OF such action saw that some
thing decided had TO be done, and done
quietly. After the convention was called
TO meet at st. Louis, so it would be near Kansas
ana Nebraska, two strong Alliance and third
party states, matters were so shaping themselves
that it was becoming necessary to destroy the
influence OF the Southern leaders opp0sed TO
third party action. Here the Washbu-ne- Tau
beneck party showed its fRe5se with the aid Of
Post, OF Georgia. and J. II. Davis, OF Texas. The
Alliance OF those states were so worked upon as
to come TO the support OF the third party
The aad-tnird party feeling having thus bccn
practically stamped out, the steere-s came TO St
Louis and began their work here - control the
convention. With what success they met the
result OF the convention shows.

got out Of the shaft and reported the matter to
the foreman, who discharged Richardson.
Gallo then went home, had his wound dressed
and lay IN wait for Richardson with double
bsrreled shotgun which was loaded with fine
birdshot. When Richardson came up he shot
him squsrely in the abdomen. thus filling that
portion Of his body with shot Richardson
caught sight of Gallo as he raised the gun to his
shoulder. He calmly crossed his arms over his
breast and stood still. Several Of the shot en-
tered his arms His wounds are painful
