John w. Foster Appointed Secretary OF
state by the President and Confirmed by
the senate.

state by the President and Confirmed by
the Senate.
WASHING TON, d. c., June 20.-The
President to-day sent to the Senate the
nomination OF John, w. Foster, OF Indi'
ana, to be Secretary OF State, and the
Senate in executive session confirmed
the nomination.
The nomination of General Foster as
Secretary OF State meets with general
favor, and is everywhere accepted as a
proper compliment to a deserving ofh-
cial. Mr.. Foster is particularly well
equipped for the Office through his dip
omatlc knowledge and ability and his
thoroughfamIlarlty with the business OF
the department for the past two years.
lie was rendered the Office u few days
ago, and he hesitated TO accept it be-
cause of the 6nantial sacrifice that was
entailed.
The action OF the Senate in confirm
ing Mr.. Foster almost Immediately up
on its reception and without reference
TO the Foreign Relations Committee Is
almost without precedent as heretofore
it has been customary to reserve this
honor for Senators in active service who
are nominated for Office.
Mr.. John w. Foster was born in Pike
county. Indiana, March Cd, 1886. He
was graduated at the Indiana State
University in 1865, and after a year at
Harvard law school was admitted to the
bar at Evansville. He entered the
army in 1861 as Major of the Twenty
fifth Indiana Infantry.
Later he was appointed Colonel OF
the 136th Indiana regiment. He was
U. S. Minister to Mexico In 1873 and
was re-appointed by President Hayes in
! 1850. In March Of that year he was
transferred TO Russia and held that
mission until November, 1881, when he
resigned. President Arthur appointed
! him Minister TO Spain.

OMAHA, NEB. June 23.-The advance
guard of Southern delegates 10 the Inde-
pendent National Convention arrived to-
dav in the persons of M. d. lrwain, editor
of the Southern Alliance Farmer, and {. 4.
Post. chairman of the Georgia Committee.
Word was received in Omaha to-day
that Senator Stewart, of Nevada, has
written letter absolutely boiling the Re
publican party. il was also intlmated
that Senator Jones, his colleague, would do
likewise, aud as consequence the Stewart
boom received a little impetus. Still the
Weaver sentiment leads
Gen. 5. H. Nanwyck said: "If Gresham
positively refuses to allow the use Of his
name, j. b. Weaver, of Iowa, win be the
nominee of the convention. OF course we
are all for free silver, and will adopt a
free silver platform. In that case
we will carry Colorado, Ne
vada and other silver States and
will be able to throw the election into the
House Of Representatives, which does not
necessarily mean a Democratic President,
as there are plenty Of free silver Demo-
Gratis in the House. OF course it is possible

the interest of all the people APP
plause. That the President. Vice
President and United States senators
should be elected by a direct vote Of the
people, and tba the term for President
be extended to six years withho sue
ond successive term for any man.
Cries of that's right" All lonopo-
lies which oppress the people ought to
be suppressed. That the hgaliZed
liquor traffic for beverage purposes
is the greatest monopoly that ever
existed. 1t destroys 10000 lives
and costs SI,500,0O0 annually
and sends misery, poverty, crime and
heart-ache broadcast among the people.
1t is the product of DemOcratid md Re-
publican rule; a damning blot Upon our
civilization, a sin against God and ought
to be made crime against humanity
and driven from the face OF the earth.
Loud applause The Prohibition par
ty is the only party that dares to fight
the mightiest curse OF the world.
Cries of good" We are here and we
have come to stay; from this hour on let
no fusion, no deals, no compromises, be
our motto. Loud applause. Let our
platform be so broad, just, clear and
comprehensive that all who love God
or home or country can join 10 the pro-
cession which is now ready % move on
to victory" Prolonged applause.
The first fight in the yention oc-
Cured on the question OF adopting the
temporary rules prepared By the Ma
tonal Committee. These provided that
only delegates present should be en-
titled to vote. This would have de-
prived a number of far bf States,
especially those of the extrd dme Sonth,
of a part of their representation in the
temporary organization, as all their
delegates could not come on account OF
expense.
j. B. Craniill, OF Texas. took the lead
in behalf Of these delegates. He said
that if the rules were adopted it would
leave the control OF the convention In
the States around Cincinnati Ii would
cost SO, 500 so send the thirty-fve dele
gates of Texas here, and they could not
afford it, The temporary rules would
probably be the permanent rules, He
moved that each delegation have the
right to cast its full vote, whether all
delegates were here or not.
After lively tilt Cranflll carried his
amendment on rising vote, and the
rules with this amendment were
adopted.
On motion of Prof. Dickle, the con-
vention adjourned until o'clock after
giving directions to the committees to
proceed at once TO the work assigned
them.
The platform committee was made up
and among the members are: Illinois,

The COMMITTEES on Rules Goes Back to the

Opens the Meeting With Prayer.
CINCINNATI, O., June l29.-An ami
mated session was held by the Commit
tee on Rules and Permanent OrganlZa-
ton. After lively dissussiOn it was
decided to recommend to, the conyen-
tion change back to the'rule allowing
only delegates actually present to vote
in the convention. Although nothing
of the kind was said in tommittee de-
bate, there was suspicion the change
was aimed at Domesest.
The honors of the permanent organi-
Zation were hotly contended for in COM
mittee. Ex-Governor ST. John, Prof.
Dickie. A. A. Stevens, Of Pennsylvania;
J. W. Grew, of New York; Robert Pat
ton, of Springfield, H., and E. f. Bit
ter, of indianapolis, were nominated for
the permanent craftsmanship. Dickle's
name was withdrawn In favor OF Ritter.
Grew withdrew in favor Of Stevens.
Ritters name was strongly urged on
the ground that he was being fought in
President Harrison's home by the lat
ter's friends and that with Ritter up
held in the convention the Prohibition
vote in Indiana would receives a magniti-
cent impetus. Soon after o'clock the
convention was called to order for the
afternoon session, a big audience being
present. The Rev. Father Mahoney, Of
ST. Paul, Mimi, Catholic clergyman,
then offered prayer and formally opened
the session.
The Committee on Credentials re-
ported that 972 delegates were present,
Louisiana and South Carolina being the
only States not represented.
A committee was appointed to send
telegrams to Neal Dow, Mrs. Clinton
Fisk and Green B. Fisk, well known
absent prohibition leaders.
The presentation of the report OF the
Committee on Permanent Organization
recommending Col. Eli Ritter, for per-
manent chairman and Sam Small for
permanent secretary, q nd retaining the
rule voted down in the morning giving
States votes only for delegates present,
was the signal for a hghs. The Rev.
Sam Small presented } minority report
signed by fifteen Statbs recommending
that each State delegation be permitted
to cast the full vote I'd which IL is enti-
tied.
Finally the debate on the minority
report was closed by Chain OF Wiscon-
sin moving the previous question, but
even this did not quiet the delegates
and the hail was full OF the noise OF in
teriections and points of order. A roll
call by States on the adoption Of the
minonity report finally brought the
matter to a focus. lit resulted In the
defeat of the minority report by vote
of $50 to 72l, aud then the majority re-
port was adopted, so that absent dele.
gates will have no vote, although the
effect of the ballot might easily pro-
mote or retard the Interests of Dem,
