CARTER DODGES
The Request to Examine the Cam
paign Books.

The Request to Examine the Cam
paign Books.
CINCINNATI, Oct. S.-The national
committee of the four political parties
have replied to the letters sent them by
the Cincinnati Post, asking permission
to examine their campaign fund books
for publication from time to time.
Chairman Harrity, of the national Dem
ocratic executive committee, said:
''We are perfectly willing that any
disintereSted and fair parties shall eX-
anime our accounts and see for them
selves that the distribution of our funds
after the election. Before the election
we will not, no matter how leglmitately
the fund would be used, as we would be
giving away our plan of campaign to
the enemy. A good general never does
that
Chairman Carter, of the Republican
committee, lodged the question, saying:
1.-THE high character of Cornelius n.
Bliss, treasurer of this committee, is a
sufficient guarantee to the people of this
country that funds received by him
will be correctly accounted for and dis
burSed only for legitimate election eX-
penSeS."
Chairman Taubeneck. Of the Peoples
party, replies to the letter as follows:
"Send on your committee. but tell
them to bring a microscope with them
OF they will be unable to see the small
amount of money that we have to run
the campaign on, providing they should
! examine the expenses of some other
party before they come here" ,1ss
! The response of the Prohibition
| national committee was that the books
were open for inspection to any and all
persons who wished to see how the
| funds were disbursed.

apeculiar combination of circumstances,
and out of it came the rottenest kind OF
a ticket. 1t did not take the master
minds of that convention long to pick
out the weakest candidates; III fact,they
seemed to do this almost by intuition.
There is not practical or impractical
politician in Ramsey county who does
not know that either Henry Weber or
NJ. }. Bell is many thousand votes
stronger than the odoriferouS Tom
Howard.
Controlled by ssummers.
And vet Howard was named on the
first ballot, having more votes than both
Weber and Bell.
A1d then take the case of Zollman.
The best that can be said of him is that
his knowledge of the law is limited, his
practice at the bar less limited and his
associations bad. And yet Mr.. Zoll-
man was named on the first ballOt, hav-
ing more votes than James K. Markham,
Walter L. Chaplin and Walter Holcombe
combined.
TIE defeat of W. j. Freaney was
another proof of the character of the
gathering, and showed that more atten-
ton was paid to the paying back OF old
grudges than to the nominating of
strong ticket. The causes that led to
the defeat of W. J. Freaney are inter
esting. and they will cut some figure iii
Ramsey county politics in future. MIR.
Freaney as defeated by men who did
him all injury two years ago, and who
have determined to keep him down.
The sheritf's office used all its in
| fuence against Mr.. Freaney. Two
years ago, it will be remembered, Ed S.
| Bean and w. j. Freaney ran on the
same ticket, one for sheriff, the other
| for clerk of courts. Several weeks
| before election Sheriff Bean and Henry
| Johns, the same gentleman, oy the way,
who yelled SO loudly for Chapel yeSter-
dav, opened headquarters and com
menced work independently of the Re
publican county committee. Bean was
elected, and the friends of Freaney and
several other of the candidates thought
| then that they had not been used right
by Sheriff Bean.
And Sheriff Ed Bean is the man who
| defeated William j. Freaney yesterday.
The aim of Gen. Flower and the old
McGill crowd was to secure control of
the county committee, and for the sake
OF this the doughty general conceded a
great deal to the Tom Howards and
the Fred Zollmans of the convention
but, sad to relate. the boys did not stand
by the resolution Of Gen. Flower under
which the old McGill crowd would have
had control Of the new organization.
This was not treating Gen. Flower
and his friends quite right, but all good
citizens will agree that they were
served about right. AS a prominent
Republican remarked last evening in
criticizing the work Of the convention
That was a great convention. When
three good men and one notoriously
unfit man were placed in nomination
for au Office. it required only one ballot
to nominate the bad man, The majority
of the delegates knew tough citiZer
when they saw him, and they wasted nc
time in placing him on the ticket"

PITTsBURG, Oct. S.-This evening be-

first street demonstration in this city of

Howard Won Easily.


Again Gen. Flower and the old Nc
Gill crowd scored victory.
The nominee came forward and
pledged his support to the entire ticket,
expressing his thank for the honor just
given him.
Sheriff came next, and E. A. Jaggard
for the Firth ward named George n.
Warren: Judge Schoonmaker named
John Harris; S. P. Crosby named w. j.
Freaney, and Henry Johns ended the
nomination of candidates by putting
forward the name of Charles E. Chapel.
which he did in a most effective man
ner. The greatest speech Of the lot was
made by the colored attorney, Frederick
l.. McGhee, who made strong plea for
w. j. Freaney. He claimed that the
party owed great deal to him for the
grand fight he made two years ago. j.
S, Vandiver seconded the nomination
of Harris, E. S. Warner that of Chapel,
and the first ballot was taken, resulting
as follows:

John Miller. Observation-Disclosures L
A second ballot was ordered and all
went we'll until the Eighth ward was
reached, when the chairman. w. r.
Johnson. announced that the vote was
II for Freauey. for Harris and 2 for
Chapel. This ward was instructed for
Mr.. Freaney, and is his own ward. Up
to this time MIR. Freaney had made a
number of gains, and this stab in the
back from his home turned the tide
against him. This so provoked F. l..
McGhee, the colored attorney, that he
arose and Sald:
II demand poll of this delegation.
Every man on IL was instructed to vote
for w. J. Freaney as long as he is in
the race, and L want to know who the
towards are that vote against him. Who
are the traitors ?''
This larrupping brought Assembly
man johnson to his feet. He had
| been acting as chairman OF the delega
ton. He said he had come to the COLI
vention on a proxy, and thought ne was
fulfilling his instructions by voting for
Mr.. Freaney for one ballot. McGhee
again arose, but was met with volley
of 'hoots and yells.
"We will keep silence" he said in re-
ply to the insults. 'but our silence will
make Rome howl" The second ballot

NAILED A RooRBACK.
a Republican Fairy Tale Denied
by Democrats.

LANCASTER, Pa, Oct. S.-AttOrney
General Hensel said this morning in
reference to the ballot muddle: Il have
little to say as to the interview with
Chairman Reeder, published in the
morning papers, except that | cannot
believe that he used the language as
cribed to him. Anybody who talks of a
conspiracy among the officials in the
executive department of the state to de-
fraud any candidates or any party of an
opportunity to vote this year is either a
knave or fool"
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. Sd. Marshall
Wright, the chairman of the Democratic
state committee, this morning gave
verbal denial to the chgrge made in the
affidavit of A. Nevin Pomeroy that w.
HAYES Grier, the superintendent of state
printing, had written him that Secre-
tary Harrity would hold back until
Oct. 26 the new form of the
ballot decided upon and requesting him
to notify the commissioners in Demo-
cratic coa4ties to place their orders
with State Printer f. Z. Myers, so that

statement quoting Mr. Harrity as say
ing that the Republican commissioners
could not have their ballots prepared
before the election and that the state
would he carried for Cleveland. spec
ial election being required to choose

New YORK, Oct S.-Chairman Will
lam E. Harrity, of the Democratic ma
tional committee, said today IN refer
ence to the interview with Frank
Reeder, of the Republican state central
committee, of Pennsylvania, as to the
form of official ballot to be-used in the
state. He said:
The statement that there has been
any suggestion or effort upon the part
of any of the Democratic officials of
Pennsylvania to prevent OF retard the
printing of official ballots for use at the
coming election is the work of
Chairman Reeder's very vivid imagin-
alton. Mr.. Reeder ought to know
that September Is was the last day
| for filing certificates of nomination IN
Pennsylvania, and Sept. 20, the last day
Of filing nomination papers. He ought
to know further that objection to sub
| certificates of nomination and nomina-
| ton papers designed for the state at
large may be filed within thirty
days after the last day for
the filing of such certificates
and papers. 1t is therefore very OBJ.
vious that there can properly be nc

This was not strictly a test vote, as the

at least dozen votes on account Of Aid.
Copeland's personal following. Mr.
Copeland took the chair. and n. GOss
was chosen temporary secretary. The
appointment of a committee on creden-
tialS was brought up, and Gen. Flower
offered a resolution designed to head off
proxies, providing that no man not

gates proxy. Considerable scrapping
ensued over this. II. l.. Williams de.
clared the resolution was not a proper
one. EX-AuditOr Braden cited the fact
that state conventions have frequently

This was voted dowo by III nays to so

said.
F. L. McGhee and Henry Johns made
speeches in favor of the call as laid
down in the call, but Mr.. Johns was
not certain where he stood and after
