With Treachery.
special TO the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Chicago gets
the convention. For two days this has
been the growing conviction, and
shrewd politicians freely predicted it all
day. Chairman Brice, though he threw
complimentary ballots here and there,
was for Chicago on the specious plea
that it alone could properly handle the
crowd, Chicago gets it, but Washington
tonight contains a sore crowd. Had it
gone to st. Paul, Milwaukee, De-
troit or Kansas City nobody would
have felt sore. but now every
delegation cherishes the belief that Chi
cago lured them into the fight with a
promise to keep out, and then came in
and walked off with the prize. Now
these disappointed boomers arge going
about swearing vengeance against a
worlds fair appropriation. Milwau-
kee is sorest of them all. Never city
made more gallant fight, and though
the situation was such that it could
never have won, yet 1t fought hard and
now lays its defeat at the door of Chi
cago's treachery. If the votes of st.
Paul could at any time have elected
Milwaukee they would have been
thrown there.
But part of Milwaukee'S vote was
complimentary and would have de-
serted when the danger point was
reached. The managers of the commit
tee had the body we'll in hand, and. after
giving flatteringvotes to every city in the
ring, cOolly made Chicago the choice. The
one vote that stayed by ST. Paul to the
end was that of Mr.. Doran, and it is
matter of pride to know that the galaxy
of states to the west of Minnesota stood
with the Sanity City against all en-
treaty. The two Dakotas and Montana
never wavered, and had other friends
of St. Paul had the same stamina the
result might have been different. Mil
waukee would have swung her strength
70 us but for that fatal hotel mistake at
Minneapolis, aud Chicago would
have been baffled, but the ar
gument that we had neither hotels
nor auditorium was unanswerabIe.
The States that stood with Minnesota
when the high wafer mark was reached
were North and South Dakotas. Mon

DETROIT SECOND IN LINE.
Claims of the City on the Straits
EloQuentIy Pleaded.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The claims
of Detroit were first presented by ex-
Congressman Maybury.
''1f there is state in the Union,''
said he, where it has cost martyrdom
to be Democrat it is the state of
Michigan. 1t has required the cour-
age of conviction for the last
thirty years to stand up
voice the creed of your political party.
presence of Democratic governor
standing here in your midst, that the
day has dawned TOR Michigan and the
shadow and the gloom has passed away.
Two years ago we redeemed Michigan
to the Democratic party by not only
electlng as governor, but legislature
Democratic in both branches. We
have adopted system by which
electors of the state of Michigan
will be elected by districts
and the president on that system will
represent what he ought to represent,
the lower house of congress IN this
country. The Democratic electors we
have already there, salready counted;
eight electoral votes from Michigan.
[Great applause]. Thus, wherever you
eight electoral votes, but if you come to
our city we will bring you every elect
toral vote of the state of Michigan.
Come to Michigan and we will
point to you a land across the river,
divided from. us only by the water
gllttering in the sunlight: we Will
show you people of our own
blood, our kinsmen, with hands full
of what we want, yet in the
center of that stream is shotted gun
boat saying to you, Under the system
which prevails in this country, you
shall not have commercial relations
with your neighbOrs. Come to see that
system, and you will go back saying
enough, and no commercial policy shall
prevent you dealing fairly with your
neighbor."
"Come to the state and city where
Gen. Lewis Cass first established the
rule and the home of self-government to
the state and city where the memory of
his virtues fingers, and the twilight
fingers long after the sun has set.''
Congressman Chapman, of Michigan.
as the second speaker for Detroit. ello-
gized all the other cities in the race, and
said:
But we want this convention in the
West, where, in our Judgment, it will
do the most good. There are but five
states in which the choice should rest
for this convention. They are Mime
sofa. Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and
Michigan. Each one of these states is
doubtful. This convention is not a
subject of barter and sale. and the COM
mittee which sold it would be
disgrace to itself and to its
party. Come to us. But if you
don't come to us, go to some of the other
doubtful states. ["Bravo. Bravo."1 We
of Detroit are Democrats. We wish
victory. We wish our principles to pre-
vah, and we don't simply seek an adj
vantage for ourselves or our locality.
Come to US, and we will do all that we
ought to do. But. above all. come to
the great West"

showed gains the corridors resouDded
with cl GERS. 1t soon became apparent,
however, that the 60 nmittee was CO.
quoting with several cities. When on
the first ballot Kansas City led its adj
herents gave wild Western cheer. On
the third ballot. when San Francisco re-
ceived fifteen votes. the number of
people who wanted to visit the
golden gate would doubtless even
have appalled, the generous Cali
fornianS, st. Paul's hopes were
rlised by leading in the fourth ballot by
IL votes, only to be dashed OH the sub
sequent ballots. Perhaps the worst col
lapse was that of Detroit, which ON the
sixth ballot received 10. while on the
next 1t dropped to 1. indianapolis,
hopes were raised on the eighth ballot
only to disappear from the contest on
the next ballot, when she received l
vote. The men from Milwaukee were,
perhaps, the nolsest and rent the
air when the Badger state received
20 votes on the ninth ballot. When
on the fifteenth ballot it was announced
that Chicago had 81 votes and the con-
vention, the crowd in the corridors
were fairly struck dumb. That city
which had not even asked for the con-
ventlon, should be selected was mex
plicable.
The resignation of Mr.. Mitchell, the
member OF the committee from Wiscon-
sin, was accepted. The committee then
adjourned to meet in Chicago June 20

Hon. Charles l.. JeWett, chairman of

lowed Senator Iurpie.
Indiana is one of the. great political
battle grounds. In 1872 Indiana went
for Grant, in 1876 for Tilden, in 1880 for
Garfield, in 1884 for Cleveland APP
pausel ana In 1888 for Harrison. 1t is
close and debatable ground, gentlemen,
and we want your encouragement. Who
shall say that politics did not influence
the wise and wary enemy, who con-
fronts us now in the selection of Mime
apolis of the great Northwest for the
Republican convention. 1t is said
GnaG every cltlZ6n OF Indiana Is a
politician. 1t Is because we have
had to withstand the shocks Of all the
Republican forces and Republican men-
dacity that Indiana Democrats are poll
ticions. 1t would encourage and uplift
the Democrats of Indiana to hold this
convention in indianapolis. But we
propose to carry Indiana if possible,
whether you give us the convention or
not. We are already making our prep
arations and taking council because we
know, gentlemen, that the time will

SHAKER SCoUNDRELS.
Gross Immoralities and Abuses
Charged.

BosToN, Jan. 21.-The Herald prints
four-column special article charging
immoralities and abuse against the
elders at the Alfred. Me-, Shaker
settlement. The principal informant
appears to be Father Browner, of
Brighton, Mass, who recently escaped
from the settlement after five weeks
stay. Four other girls have escaped
recently, and report improper proposals
made them, and that for attempting
to escape and other offenses they
were subjected to brutal whipping and
solitary confinement for almost two
weeks with only bread and water to eat
and their clothes almost entirely re-
moved to allow wounds on their backs
to heal.
The Herald says: ''Many Alfred men
and women admit the truth of what the
five girls have said. Doctors have re-
marked the illegal operations, boys have
spoken OF wrong practices, girls have
told OF IndignitieS, and iilegitimate
children now live not ten miles from the
settlement"
Esther Brownor said that she ran
away because she had seen children
unable to stand from the effects Of
whippings they had received, because
she was told by one of the elders that
if they caught her trying to run
away she would be so fixed that she
would never be able to try it again, and
because of improper proposals which
were made to her by members in the
family. 1t is also asserted that no mem,
Der of the community can send
letter to friends unless it is first in
spected by an elder; that deceit has
been practiced to keep young women
from leaving the community; that
the elders have sought to ruin one
that leading doctor of the town admits
having been called to attend women in
the community who were suffering for
the sins of others, and that certain I'M
fortunate young women have attributed
their fall to the men OF the settlement.
