each 10 votes or major fraction thereof cast
for said candidate. and that the secretary be
instructed to make the necessary computa-
tion. and that the chairman issue the call for
SAID convention thereon.
Committeeman Strlnger suggested
that the secretary be instructed to as
sign the seats to the various county dele
cations so that they will be grouped by
judicial districts. This is "a much
needed reform and will save a great
deal of confusion at the convention.
The members of the state central COM
mittee are chosen by the delegates from
the different judicial districts. Hereto
fore the seating has been done alpha
betically, and. as the counties are not
so divided for judicial purposes, there
has always been great deal of trouble
insgettlng the delegates from all parts
of,the district together. Followed out,
matters greatly. The resolution runs:
:. Resolved, That the secretary be Instructed
to assign the county delegations seats in the
statee convention in relation to the judicial
districts TO which they respectively belong.
Secretary Smalley is one of the most
careful and methOdical men in the
world. He likes to have everything In
ship-shape order, and, when meetings
of state committee are held, there is no
detail to which he has not given his at
tention. In order to facilitate the work
of preparing the roll of delegates,
which, under the call, becomes much
greater than usual, Mr.. Smalley thought
that the chairman of each county con-
vention should be requested to send i'll
to the state headquarters list OF the
delegates chosen. Reduced to the form
OF a resolution, this suggestion reads as
follows:
Resolved, That the chairmen Of the sew
eral county conventions held to name dele
gates to the state nominating convention,
are requested to send, Immediately after the
selection of the delegates from their respect
i've counties, the names and addresses to the
secretary of thus committee who is instructed
to make UP therefom the roll of delegates for
the temporary organization and for the use
of the committee on credentials. If proxies
are given, notice thereof shall be sent to the
secretary at least fire days before the date Of
the convention.
After preparing and adopting the
official call, which is given above, the
committee adjourned to meet at the
West hotel, in Minneapolis, on Tuesday
evening. Aug. 2, at O'clock.

THE CORRECT SPIRIT.
One Detective Agency That Is Not
for Usurpation.

for Usurpation.
CHICAGO, July 7.-General Manager
w. j. Sutherland. of the Mooney & Bo-
land Detective agency, was interviewed
tonight concerning the labor troubles
at Homestead. Said he:
"The couf1ict between the workmen
of the Carnegie iron mills and Pinker-
ton detectives today is certainly deplOr-
able. Personally, have no more inter
est in that unhappy affair than any good
citizen should have, but my professional
duties have caused me to study this
particular phase of the labor question
with especial care. | hold that the
order are the legally appointed civil au-
thOrlties, and that any private organ
izatiOn which usurpS the functions of
the civil authorities acts in direct oppo-
sition to the spirit of our American in
StItutiOnS.
"a mob of hoodlums hastily collected,
and chosen solely by their ability to
bulldoze and TO cOerce, by violence if
necessary, armed but undrilled and un-
reliable, composed of the most danger
Gus elements of society, has no valid
claim to recognition as factor in the
settlement of labor disturbances. That
this is being recognized by the people is
shown most Enthusiastically blythe fact that
many states have recently enacted laws
making such usurpations of authority

practice of settling differences between
empIoye and employer by brutal force
upon the plea that might makes right.

Alright, day will soon come when de-
tectives will no longer be tolerated as

LovEJOY IS REGRETFUL,
But Feels Like Boosting of His
War Barges.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 6.-Mr. Love
joy, secretary of the Carnegie Steel
company, when informed OF the surren-
der of the Pinkerton forces, said:
.'Well, 1 am glad there were no more
lives lost. Since early this morning we
have been more anxious about the loss
of life than the loss of property. l am
not very much surprised that the de-
tectives gave up. They were hemmed
in, and there seemed no way to aid
them. We greatly regret the loss of
life. The men were better protected in
the barges than people generally imag-
Inc, and could have stood good long
siege except for the danger. from dyna-
mite and fire. The barges were lined
with sheet iron, and could not be pene-
trated by bullets"
When asked what the company was
going to do, he said: '.Nothing. The
question is now one for the sheriff to
settle, and we look to him to do his
duty"
One of the most noticeable features of
the trouble, so far, has been that not a
dollars worth of the property of the
company has been destroyed by the
workmen. and no attempt has been
made to do so.

CLASHING REPORTS.
Powderly Is Outspoken and Mum
-Taubeneck Talks.


OMAHA, July CT. V. Powderly left
tonight for Chicago. intending to go
from there to Pittsburg to consult with
the leaders of the strikers at Home
stead.
POwderly called the Homestead trag-
edy "a savage butchery." Being asked
his opinion on the situation, he said:
Il am not now prepared to give full
expression OF my views, but from what
L can learn from the press reports there
can be but one side to the case. The
strikers are certainly on the right side,
and their position will be supported
to the end; that is, until they ob-
tain their just demands. 1t is battle
for bread. The attempt of the Pinker-
ton men to usurp the powers of the
local and state authorities is a thing
demnation of all fair-lninded people,"
Before leaving for the East this even
ing General Master Workman Powderly
was seen. and asked to give an express
sion on the Homestead riot.
81 must absolutely refuse to be inter-
viewed on the matter until know more
about it," said Mr.. Powderly. 81 have
received no private information, and
only know what [ have read in the
papers. l can readily realize how much
Importance might attach to any state
ment might makeii i'll this connection,
owing TO the position l hold, and my
meaning would very likely be distorted
and pitt me in false aud embarrassing
position. as has been done BEFORE"
Il depIore strikes and oppose them at
man of the national committee of the
Peoples party, this evening, ..but,at the
same time, in the case of the Homestead
affair, the pressure has been so great
that the props have fallen away until
condition of affairs similar to those that
existed here prior to the War of the
Revolution has been forced upon the
people. Taking the condition of the
country into consideration, this strike
verifies the assertion that our party is
in the right. The strike has
grown out of the financial pol
icy the government has pursued
for the past twenty-fives years.
1t is caused by false legislation and
nothing else. To make it more EN-
phatic desire to say that this strike,
this bloodshed at Homestead, is due to
the false legislation and the class laws
that we have upon our statute books to-
day.
IF there is anything that SHOWS that
our position is critical 1t is this. 1t must
also convince the thinking men of the
nation that something must be done for
the general relief of the people. This
strike, coming as it has, will strengthen
our party not only in Pennsylvania, but
throughout the entire country, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific; from the gulf to
the British line. 1t is forcible argu-
ment, and shows conclusively that we
are burden-bound by the subsidized
press and capital of the country"

and declared that he had resolved to say
nothing for publication regarding af-

remarked:
"We held off until the last moment on

insisted that we supply the watchmen."

MuItitudes of Men, Women and
Children Present.
PITTsBURG, July 6.-The scenes in
Homestead today were hard to describe.
All the streets were filled with men and
women, particularly the narrow roads
leading to the mill. Here were con-
gregated thousands of men. women and
children. many of the latter weeping
and wailing. On the hill back of the
works was a crowd of fully 5000 people.
From this eminence view of the
battle ground could be obtained with
out running the risk of being made a
target by those ON the boats. The
proclamation of the burgess, request
ing all saloons to close, was religlously
Obeyed, but it was impossible to keep
many excited individuals from gather
ing in the vicinity of the works.
pThe day was one that will be remem-
bered with horror by the people in the
borough, as we'll as the citizens of the
entire county, who, for the second time.
will be called upon to pay enormous
amounts of money entailed in the shape
of riot losses.

AS Good as Any Ofher

Democrats consider one Democratic vote
just
AS Good as Any Other
and not better. Every Democrat who
voted for Judge Wilson two years ago Is
given liberal representation under
the call issued yesterday, and the
thousands of true blue Democrats in
Ramsey, Hennepin. Stearns, Blue
Earth. Winona, Scott, Carver, Mcleod,
lie Sueur and other counties will not be
punished by reduced Influence because
they were loyal two years ago. The
call follows:
The Democrats of Minnesota are called to
meet in delegate convention, lin the city of
MINNEAPOLIS, in the Exposition hall, on
Wednesday, Aug. 3, 1892 at high noon, for
the purpose of putting in nomination candi-
dates for the following state offices, to wit:
Governor. lieutenant governor. secretary of
state. state treasurer, attorney general, three
justices of the supreme court ana nine presi-
dental electors.
We invite to a participation by representa-
tion i'll this delegate convention all voters of
this state. of whatever prior partisan rela-
tionS, who believe with US that Republican
protection is a fraud and n robbery of the
great majority of the American people for
the benefit of the few that 1.-THE federal
government has no constitutional power
to enforce and collect tariff duties ex-
cept for revenue oEly;" who demand with
us. that the collection of such taxes shall
be limited to the necessities Of the govern
ment economically administered and who
think that the removal of the barriers OF
trade is the first great reform to be accom-
plished before other and cognate reforms
are entered on. We also ask the co-opera-
tion of all those voters who, with us, oppose
state interference with parental rights
and rights of conscience in the
education of their Children and who be-
lieve that the state has reached the limits of
its educational functions when it has pro-
vided the opportunities for the education of
its youth. We especially invite the aid of
those voters of the state who would over
throw the present unhoiy combination which
monopolIzes the grain markets of the state
and who would see established free, open
and competitive markets for the produce of
our farms.
The representation in the convention is
based on the vote for the Democratic caudi-
date for governor in 1899, giving one delegate
at large 10 each county and one for each IaO
votes. or major fraction thereof cast for said
candidate.
The several counties will be entitled to the
