"Snappers" said to Insist ON Having Com
plete Control of the State.
Correspondence Of The Evening Star
NEW YORK, August %, 1892.
The week opens with marked anxiety on the
part of the political observers with reference to
the attitude of the gentlemen at the head of the
two wings Of the democratic party in New
York. Will they make those two wings flap
together2 That is question which is being
anxiously asked. If they do not, it is generally
conceded that New York promises little in the
way Of democratic success. If they do, the
prospects Of democratic success in the state are
believed to be good. So the greatest anxiety is
felt to what Is to be done in this line if any,
thing. The reports which havebeen in circu-
lation in the Last day or two to the effect that
the United States senatorship has been utilized
~ q peace offering to the Hill people are not
credited by those who have an Opportunity to
know the inside Of the situation here The
story was to the effect that the Cleveland people
had hxed up . scheme by which thew
were to agree to make Governor Flower
or Chairman Murphy United States Senator,
and in return get the cordial support Of the
Hill organization for Cleveland. But this il
not very reasonable story. II would be rather
an sesurd proposition for these people to pro-
others who have II already within their Rrasp,

HELD UP THE TRAIN.
Four Kansas Farmer. Assume the Role Of

The st. Louis and San Francisco passenger

up at the Ssnte Fe crossing about a mile east OF
Augusta two masked men mounted the loco

gineer and fireman with guns ordered them TO
stop the train. The train came 90 a standstill.
and two members Of the robbers gang who
were in hiding started 10 uncouple the express
car. As soon this was done the engineer was
compelled to pull out with the car mile dis-

knew nothing Of the robbery until after il was

be ascertained, but it probably did not exceed

As coon as he got word Of the hold-up he

at holding up trains. but they did their work
like professionals. The only mistake they made
wss holding up the wrong train. for had they
robbed the west-bornd instead Of the east
bound train they would have secured large
amount of money.

More South American Trouble.

A special cablegram to the Now York Herald
says there is possibility of trouble between
Peru and Chile arising from the protocol be-
tween France and Chile. The offensive tone Of
the Peruvian press and the hostile talk in the
Peruvian congress have caused much comment
in Valparaiso. If it is true, as it is freely ru-
mored. that secret treaty against Chile has
been entered into between Argentina and Peru,
Chile, while not seeking trouble, will not brook
insult and il ready to meet them. Minister Of
Foreign Affairs Errazuriz has telegraped to
the Chilean minister to Peru to state the terms
Of the offensive protocol to the government Of
that country and assure it that nothing is in.

the dignity and sovereignty Of Peru. The coun-
Gil OF state at Santiago has approved the agree
ment for commission to arbitrate the claims

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, August 20, 1892.
The democratic state convention, held in this
city this week, nominated ticket which even
the republicans admit to be of unusual strength
and Of great running power. The ticket has
one or two weak spots in it, but the popularity
and strength Of the head Of the ticket makes up
for these deficiencies and make the prospects
for success much brighter than for many years

pleasant evening was spent Friday by the
cadets and guests of the hotel Mr. George
Graham, the well-known humorist, entertained
a select audience in the ball ROOM That night
several cadets were out late and the guards had
quite time chasing some of them. About -
O'Clock Corporal MacNamee and Private Psrson

corporal Of the guard. After short while
Sergeant Astel, with a squad Of six, went in
search of the midnight disturbers. boat was
found, but the oars had all been taken. how
ever. The boat seats were utilized, and after
fruitless search of an hour or SO the sergeant
returned to camp thoroughly disguised. Just
before reveille in the morning the truants re-
turned and we're Immediately accommodated in
the guard tent Parson made a very manly re-
sistance but found that eight equally as strong
as himself were too much for him, and he was
finally landed in safety within the prisons

On Saturday morning, before breakfast, Capt.
Cook had the boys out for a company drill
Lieut. Redman took command, marching them
to the hotel lawn, where the captain in his
usually brisk manner put them through the
different maneuvers. He then dismissed them
for breakfast. A few Of the hungry ones went

manual of arms. for which Capt. Cook proposes

idea that they might lead q bolt to the third

Considerable number Of Tlllmanite alliance men
went into the third party before the democratic
primary the loss Of their votes in that primary
would cost the Tlmsn ticket their election II
was a matter of political life or DEATH and the
wires were kept hot by appeals from the admin
istration leaders TO the alliance managers in the
several counties to keep their men in the demo-
cratic ranks. 1t was conjectured by conserva-
tives that these appeals were only 10 retain the
democratic name until after the primary, but
OF course this was not susceptible Of proof
But there was no outbreak Of third partyism.
On the surface there was calm. What went on
in the alliance councils no outsider might know,
but II was plain that the adherence TO Ocalaism
among the leaders was nearly as strong As ever
ATTACKING TILLMAS's RECORD.
When the campaign meetings were resumed
new issues were sprung against Gov. Tillman in
addition to that of his course at Chicago in de-
claring that the democracy Of the state would
not support Cleveland. He had expressed him
self years ago in favor Of a new state coustitu-
tion which would restrict the suffrage by i'm
posing educational or property qualifications
for voting. He had declared his unwillingness
20 submiG such constitution to the people for
ratification. HE had recommended the increase
of the poll tax for educational purposes from
81 10 IS. His supporters in the Legislature had
voted IN favor Of new constitution and had
voted down propositions that 1t should retain
the provision levying upon all properly . 2-mill
FAX for education, and the provision requiring
the maintenance of q homestead law. They had
also voted down, in each house, to let the pso-
pie vote On the proposed new constitution after
II shorid be framed. The governor has been Q
strong opponent Of the law allowing FARMERS 10
