KICKERs WERE BUSY TOO.
Protesting New York Democrats Call o
Convention of Their Own.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 23.-During the
recess of the Democratic convention yes
terday about 100 anti-winter convention
men gathered at Union Hall. The leaders
were prominent on the front seats.
Hon. Charles s. Fairchild, chairman OF
the committee of fifty, called the meeting
to order and submitted report announc-
ing that the state committee had de-
clined to dissolve the state convention.
Mr.. Fairchild asserted that the hearts of
hundreds of thousands of Democrats in
the state were with this meeting. (Cheers)
Mr.. Fairchild presented the name of
F. ID. Locke of Buffalo, as chairman. Mr..
Locke arraigned the "machine" men for
the methods by which they sought to
frustrate the will of the majority of the
party, for the sake of an ambitious poll
tician. The roll showed 80 countries were
represented. e~
Il. Ellery Anderson then made a speech.
He said the Democratic masses OF New
York did not believe that Senator Hill
was a proper representative of tariff re-
form and honest money, and were OPP
posed to his nomination.
An address to the Democratic electors
of the state was then read and adopted
amid cheers. The address asserts that the
controlling membership OF the present
Democratic state committee was secured
at the state convention of 1891 by the adj
mission of numerous irregular contesting
delegates. 1t says the issues involved in
the impending campaign are tariff reform
and honest money. The state committee,
it declares, has used its power for the
avowed purpose of serving favored can
didate's personal ambition instead of af-
fording to all the Democratic electors an
equal and fair opportunity to expires their
preferences as TO issues and candidates.
1t has become the instrument of faction
instead OF being the representative OF the
whole party.
A state convention was called to meet
in Syracuse, May 81.

action 20 be determined by a~vote of the
majority of delegates.
When that passage instructing for
David B. Hill was read the air was shaken
by an outburst OF cheers, and when the
resolutions were unanimously adopted
the cheers broke out again. Col. Fellows,
Mayor Manning OF Albany and Mr..
Adams, of Kings, were appointed a COM
mittee TO invite Senator Hill to address
the convention.

Senator Hill then appeared before the
convention and received an ovation.
When the tremendous applause had sub
sided General Sickles said: 81 present to
you, gentlemen OF the convention, the
young hickory of the Democracy, our
next Presidential candidate, David b.
Hill.
Then came more cheers and added din,
and Mr.. Hill stood waiting, his face very
pale and one hand tightly gripped in ner-
vous tension. At length the shouts sub
siden and Senator Hill read his address.
Mr.. Hill said: Fellow Democrats
Your committee, summoning me to this
presence, have apprised me of that un-
animous vote which will make known
your approval of me to the authorized
representatives of the Democracy of the
United States and be recorded in the
annals of our national convention. With
what terms shall L acknowledge this
official act, my fellow Democrats, which,
instead of pointing to some new untried
career, might amply reward and crown
the labors of the longest life. From that
great cardinal, whose "Lead, kindly
light has touched the hearts of all
Christendom, let my gratitude humbly
borrow this worthier response than l my
self could ever frame To the great Demo-
cracy whom you represent.
The rest of Senator Hill's speech was
strong plea for organization and deter
mined effort

LITTLE BUSINESS AHEAD
Congress viii Start Again on Con-
tested Elections.
A SILVER CAUCUS THURSDAY.
MIR. Holman Wants to Piune the Indian
BuI-But Nobody vi do Much Because
There will Hardly be 9uoiu a Before
Tomorrow.

BosToN, Feb. 23.--Webb, the Journals
Washington correspondent says: 1t is
not expected that much of importance
will be accomplished by either branch OF
Congress this week. A quorum will hard
ly be present i'm either body before We'd
nesday. In the Senate the contested
election case from Idaho and the Pure
Food bill, which has been so long before
the Senate, will occupy the week. The
House also has acontested election case,
and viii continue the discussion of the
Indian Appropriation bill. Chairman
Holman Is determined that that bill shall
be very largely cut down. No matter what
may be the effect upon Indian schools or
upon the measures which the philanthro-
pists insist are necessary for the civiliZa-
tion of the Indians. Chairman Holman
saws that this bill must be reduced at
least 81, 500, 600; he has issued an order to
this effect 10 Colonel Peel, Chairman of
the Committee on Indian Affairs.
The latter will probably have to obey
his orders Just as General Wheeler, Chair
man OF the Committee on Military Affairs
did.
Mr.. Holman says the Indian bill is mill
lions too big and must be pruned. It's the
totals at which Mr.. Chairman Holman
looks. He cares little about the items as
to which reduction shall be made.
And of the reductions proposed is that
the appropriations for the pay OF inter-
prefers shall be cut down. These officials
have responsible duties to perform, and
the success OF the advancement of the In
dian service depends very largely upon
the integrity and efficiency of these in
terpreters. Their pay has always been
inadequate.
Many of them are men who can earn
very much more in civil life than in Gov
ernment service, but many of them also
have great interest in the Indians and q
desire for their advancement.
To cut down their pay will greatly
weaken the Indians and tend TO place
them more at the mercy Of dishonest con-
tractors.
The chief political event of the week
will be the Democratic caucus on the sill
yer question, which has been called for
Thursday. Both sides claim to be conf
dent as to the result and both sides are
equally determined on success. The anti
free coinage men expect success only
through Republican votes in the House.
They have no confidence in their own
party. The anti-Hill Democrats look to
this caucus with apprehension and are
disposed to consider is as turning point
in the fortunes of the Democratic party.
Some of them think that its conclusions
will settle the fact whether or not the
Democracy ought to make serious con-
test for the Presidency.
The number of leading Democrats who
concede the probability OF the re-election
is daily increasing.
The advocates OF free coinage in the
House are disturbed at the announcement
which has been made by the Committee
on Ways and Means that the tariff bills
will be brought up and the discussion
npon them ordered for March 1.
