CLAIMS OF THE PEOPLES PARTY
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15-The possibility
that the next electoral college may be unable
TO choose President and Vice President,
and that their election will be by the Demo-
cratic House and the Republican Senate
respectively, has started politicians to specu-
latng as TO the Vice Presidency in that
event Ii is, of course, conceded that Mr..
Cleveland would be elected President if
the House OF Representatives were to make
the choice; but Democrats, Republicans
and the Peoples party all contend that
their own candidate for Vice-P President would
be elected by the Senate. The Farmers
Alliance or Peoples party really expect to
elect General Field to that Office. This is
the way they figure it out, according TO
McCune, prominent Farmers Alliance
member and the editor of the National
Economist:
II feel" said Mr.. McCune, to Star re-
porter, that Fields election is practically
assured. He is bound 10 be elected if the
election of President is thrown into the
House, which Is very likely TO happen. The
House would. of course. elect Mr.. Cleveland
TO the Presidency. The Senate would have
to select the Weep resident from the three
candidates who had received the highest
number of votes at the polls. The cOnsti-
President both coming from the same State,
ana the House having chosen Mr. CieYe-
land first, Mr.. Reid would be rendered in
eligible. The Senate would, therefore, be
compelled 10 choose between Mr.. Steven
son and Mr.. Field, and there is little room
for doubt that ii wculd select the latter"
what the Constitution Says.
Mr.. McCune has evidently not read his
constitution Alright. Article u of that in
strument provides that if no person voted
for have a majority of the votes cast for
Nice-President in the Electoral College, the
Senate shall choose the Vice President from
the two" highest numbers on the list.
Thus Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Reid would
be the ones voted for and General Field
would not be in IL at all.
Republicans sag that the Senate would
OF course, elect Mr.. Reid, while the Demo-
Gratis contend that the New York editor
would be Ineligible to the Office under
article J.. which begins as follows: "1he
electors shall meet in their respective
States and vote by ballot for President and
NIce-PreSldent, one Of whom, at least,
shall not be an inhabitaut of the same
State as themselves"
This is Interpreted 10 mean that the Pres
ident and President shall not be
chosen from the same State, and therefore
II Grover Cleveland is elected President by
the House of presentatives, Mr. Reid
would be ineligible TO the Vice Presidency,
General Field would be barred out and
General Stevenson must of necessity be
elected.

Gated in the attempted assassination, but

FOR IRISH HOME RULE.
Large Gathering of the Sons of Ireland il
Chicarn

A Large Gathering of the Sons of Ireland in
Chicago.
CHICAGO. Aug. 15.-The annual outing of
the Irish Society of Chicago carried unusual
significance with it to-day in view of the
just accom- plished accession of Gladstone
and the resulting crisis in the home-rule
movement Among the speakers in Ogdens
Grove, where the outing was held, were
Hon. NJ. V. Cannon of Omaha, president of
the Irish National League of America, John
+. Finerty and Hon. Matthew F. Brady. j.
j. FitzgibbOns acted as chairman. Resolu-
tlOns were adopted declaring that If
the British Parliament should again
dash from Ireland's lips the cup
of peace and justice 1t would be the
duty OF all to consider and use other means
to right the intOierable wrong that has made
Ireland byword among nations. The reso-
Iutions urge upon the Irish leaders the ab-
solute necessity of union and harmony
applaud the resolves of both sections of the
Irish party TO act independently, and repu-
date tile idea of the acceptance of oflice
under the English Government by the Irish
members until an Irish Parliament is in
session in College Green.
Ine feature of the day was an address by
Finerty. President Cannon was given an
extraordinary ovation. He said, in part,
referring TO GladStone's return to power.
lie is pledged TO carry out the reforms for
which Parnell organized the Irish people,
and it is the duty of the Irish people
to continue to give that moral and material
support which has heretofore contributed
so largely to success. | may tell you that
the eace mission has been largely instru-
mental in bringing about the unity which
hurled Salisbury from power by a united
Irish vote" After tracing the work of his
predecessor in office, Cannon closed with
fervent peroration. He was warmly cheered
by the immense audience, which numbered
some 10 200 persons.

the c0nvicts over TO the guard and send

down, the roof crushed in and the interiors

bolted the nominee of the Democratic party
for Governor, and to-day, in a lengthy ad-
dress, announces that be is an independent
candidate for Governor. and asks the votes
of all citizens, regardless of party affilia-
tions. He bases his candidacy upon the
allegations that he has been called upon by
the majority of the rank and file of the
party to run; that he and his friends
were treated badly by the Demo-
cratic conventions in the counties and
State, and that he represents true Jeffer-
s0nian Democracy, and the Democratic
convention which refused TO nominate him
renounced the true principles of Democ-
racy enunciated in former State platforms
Governor Buchanan's independent candi-
ducy was expected, and but little surprise
was expressed when the pubished announce

meet in State convention on Thursday next
