PEOPLES PARTY CONVEN.
TION,
Full Electoral Ticket.-COn-
greSSiOnal Candidates in
Each District.

We clip from the Southern Re-
publican's account of the Peoples
Party Convention which assembled
in Birmingham, Ala last week, the
following.
1t was in many respects wonder
full convention, and was in every res
pect an eye opener to the democratic
bosses who see the scepter of their
power leaving them.
1t was made up Of the Drawn and
the brain of the great industrial elias
ses of Alabama. A few of the lead
ing professional men Of the state were
there lawyers, doctors, editors,
school teachers, etc., but the great
mass Of the convention we've farmers
and other members of the producing
classes.
To say that it Was convention OF
soreheads and discontents, is libel
upon the people of Alabama, for the
people of Alabama were there.
And the people of Alabama are
against the election of Grover Cleve
land, as the resolutions adopted by
that convention show.
We will publish the resolutions
and other interesting matter about
the convention next week
The following ticket was nomina
ted for Weaver and Field electors:

Prompt and Intelligent Action,
New York Times-Democrat.

New York s-Democrat.
The prompt and intelligent action
OF President Harrison with the OBJ
ject of protecting the country from
the importation of disease by sea has
been received with unanimous APP
proval in the United States, and is
the cause Of some envv on the other
side of the ocean. 1t is found that
the Constitution and laws of the
United States, which many of our
English critics are prone TO look
upon as loose and fabby. because
they do not provide central author>
ity with the unlimited power enjoyed
by Parliament, are capable, when
administered with energy and good
sense, Of accomplishing more than
the English system can do.

Let US Act Wisely.

AS vet we have no official state
ment from either Mr.. Stevens or DR..
| Moseley as to the result of the meet
ings Of the two Republican Commit
tees at Birmingham last week
The aim was unity Of action har-
mony in Republican ranks for the
sake of Republican success in No
vember.
We have it from reliable sources
that nothing was accomplished in
this line.
Mr.. Stevens proposed, in confor-
nifty with the plan of the National
Committee, to step down and out
from the Chairmanship and allow a
new man to be selected and a new
united committee, provided DR..
Moseley would do likewise. DIR.
Moseley and his friends declined to
listen to this plan ofcompromise, but
wanted to adjust matters on the basis
of the settlement made by the Nat
ional Convention as to theg Districts.
This plan would re>elect the Doctor,
No compromise being effected the
Moseley Committe proceeded to en-
dorse the electoral ticket nominated
by the Peoples Party and appointed
campaign committee.
The Anti Moseley committee APP
pointed an advisory committee of
nine to either put out an electoral
ticket, or to support the People par
ty ticket, said committee being al
lowed until the 2Sth inst, to make
its decision.
Mean while the efforts Of earnest
and true Republicans for harmony
and unity of action must prevail for
the sake of the party and our candi-
date for President We must have
united action at all hazards, saving
the sacrifice of principle. Those who
stand in the way of of such action
will go down before the people.
Alabama Republicans must keep
in line with the National head of the
party. In this way lies success.
Any other course is suicidal.

ATTACKED AN EDITOR.
Politics Causes Trouble Between Two
Iowa Republicans.

DUBUQUE, Sept. 22.-Judge UT, ed
itor and proprietor Of the Dubuque
Times, was attacked on the street by
Attorney W. J. Cantillon, who spit to-
bacco juice or his shirt front, threw the
quid into his Eyes and then cuffed and
kicked him until UT broke away and
ran into a store, he being spare and
lame and no match for the attorney.
The trouble grew out Of the fight in this
congressional district. UT has practi-
cally killed the denomination Of Colonel
Henderson by the Republicans. His
leader Sunday was two column edito-
rial containing this extract:
Another scheme has been planned by
the Henderson manipulators 1t is that
the Peoples party convention should
nominate w. j. Cantillon for Justice of
the peace and the Republicans indorse
him. Cantillon is Democrat and al
ways has been. From some reason he is
supposed to have peculiar control of a
certain railroad vote which he is expected
to delly II to Henderson if he is indorsed
by the Republicans. Cantillon served
some years in the rebel army and has
often made insulting remarks about the
g. A. r. and the old soldiers Even With
this record his hands have touched Re
publican money, and he is henderson
Democrat.

MEMPHIS, Sept. 22.-The case of Lilly

der of Freda Ward in conjunction with
Alice Mitchell, has been called in the
criminal court here. Miss Johnson's
counsel asked that the case be disposed
OF, stating that his client was practically
prisoner and in very bad health. He
expected that MOLE PROSE-" would be
entered at once, as the attorney general
had expressed himself as inclined to
take that course, but to his surprise the
attorney general made no motion and
the court set the case for trial on Oct.
3. This means that the whole t9stimo-

Who Shall be Governor?

With the advent of 1892 begins the dis
cussion of the gubernatorial question by
a number of the Vermont state press,
This is taking time by the forelock with
vengeance, and is a mere surface indica-
ton of what the "dear people" may ex-
pect during the next few months. The
Ludlow Tribune opposes the political re-
suscitation of eX-lieutengnt-g governors,
and declares for a man straight from the
people. 1t assumes that the next govern
or will come from Windham county, and
having sheived Col Fuller and his sspira-
tions, suggests the name OF Col. Julius j.
Estey, another Brattleboro statesman. A
correspondent of the same paper rushes
into print to name Judge Lavant M. Read
of Bellows Falls, saying truthfully that
"the Judge has a big brain as well as big
heart" II the Tribune really wants a
man direct from the people, why go out
side of Windsor county? What's the mat
ter with Hon. Henry NJ. Arms of SPRING
field, president of the State Dairymen's S
association? After all, who would come
more directly from the people than Lieut.
epant- Governor Fletcher. His nomina-
tion would be advancement, not resusci-
tation.-Windsor journal.
Brer Harris OF the Hardwick Gazette
solemnly denies the assertion that ex-
Senator Bates OF ST. Johnsbury ell sctrocut.
