Harrison for President---Whitelaw Reid

MINNEAPOLIS MOSAIC.
for ryice-President.
MIENEAPoLIs, June 1.-THE city APP
pears very quiet this morning, as might
be expected after the exciting scenes of
the previous sixty hours, during which
time it is safe to say but few delegates to
the convention have had any rest. The
labor performed yesterday was remark
able.
The Columbia club, from Indianapolis,
almost to man, were sleeplessly
united in the work, led by such men as
Gen. Lew Wallace, with the American
flag knotted in the lapel of his coat.
g eHere,is the badge wore in Chicago
he would say, -four years ago when we
nominated Harrison. 1t means good
luck, and is a sign that we viii again
carry the day for him.
It would take search warrant to dis
cover any Blaine sentiment this morn
ing. Such is the history of conventions.
But what his friends have asked for him
should not be, and will not be consid-
cred discreditable to him. It is highly
probable that he was embarrassed by
one consideration. He was not per
mitted to express willingness to accept
the nomination until it became apparent
that he could be nominated. The first
ballot put a final quietus on the ques-
ton. However, even after the vote of
Oregon, when it was doubtful if nom
ination could be made on the first ballot.
It is not improbable that the secretary
of state believed the conditions similar
to those in Chicago in 1884. His inter-
ests were in the hands of the party's
ablest politicians. The opposition was
made up in, part of oficeholders who
were eager to be with the winner. His
rival had nothing of the magnetic quality.
The Blaine sentiment was still abroad.
| Why, then, should not the Harrison
forces melt away in the convention as
did the Arthur forces? But the condi-
tions were not the same. Mr. Blaine
had had his opportunity. Eight years
after his defeat by the people he has
more fame but he is farther away from
those who rally his support, and he and
his friends should not have deceived
themselves by the thought that the con-
ditions are the same as they were in
1884.

practically the bosses and the manipula-
tors; they have the fine Italian hands

results; but against these agents of mag

Grafton of emotionless, negative ele-
ments. The question was, will the fire
melt the ice, or will the ice quench the
fire? A good deal of interesting history
will be made during the pending cam.

WHEN WILL 1T END?
More Trouble Brewing Among
the Insurance Men.

The war among the Insurance men of
the city is not yet over by any means.
The regular agents, those that are MEM
bers of the underwriters association,
have been fighting the non-board COM
panies. Now they have on hand a fight
among themselves. \ meeting of the
association will be held in few days.
The developments may be interesting
The meeting will certainly be lively
one.
1t seems that when the association
was formed in 1899 the big agents of the
city secured control of it and established
the organization on rockribbed basis
too much so. One of the fundamental
rules of the association was that the
articles of agreement could not be
amended except by 90 per cent vote of
all the members. 1t is claimed that
good many of the big agents who were
instrumental in making that pre- vision
of the constitution, have been doing
work with non-board companies
and carrying on the business in
manner contrary to the rules
OF the association. They find, it is al
legged, that their non-board contracts
will not cover up all their crookedness.
The only thing for them to do is to so
AhOhO tliO al liSlCo vi DIS 10
allow them to work as they see fit. But
here that provision enacted by them
selves rendering amendment impossible
except by 80 per cent vote, stands in
their way. They cannot summon the
requisite number of votes. Five votes
are sufficient to defeat any amendment
offered. So it is plain that there will
be fight. The only way the articles
can be changed, under the cream
stances. is to disband the association
and reorganize. That is looked upon as
dangerous course.
The big insurance agents are not
working harmo1iouslv under the exist
ing conditions. At the last meeting of
the association, held on the Goth of last
month, one of the most prominent
agents in the city declared unhesitat-
ingly that he would continue to give Is
per cent off on the regular rates before
he would consent to relinqnish certain
lines of business. Such a declaration
is, Of course, treason to the association.

GEEENHUT ON TOP.
Whisky Trust Directors Refuse to
Accept designations.

CHICAGO, Feb. g. Today was an
eventful day in the life of the whisky
trust, and the disruption of the great
combine was seriously threat ned.
President Greenhut and Director Nell
son Morris rendered their designations,
which were. after seven hours, con-
sideration,r ejected by seven Of the eight
directors. Not only did MI Greenhut
and Mr.. Morris score great victory
over the stockholders who are dissatis-
fed with their conduct of affairs, but
they were given additional powers.
were granted, Notwithstanding that
Mr.. Greenhut admits that he
and Mr.. Morris has sold the greater
portion of the stock held by them. Mr..
Greenhut's letter of resignation is in
many respects considered most re-
markabie document. In it he says:
My aim has been to guide the affairs
of this company on conservative basis,
and thereby assure not only perma-
nent investment to stockholders but
also satisfy the trade. This policy, how
ever, has not been satisfactory to
certain stockholders, and for some
time every means has been brought
to bear with this board to
NAL profits, and to send out reports as
coming from authentic sources to the
effect that the earnings of the company
are fabulous, and that we could easily
pay two or three times the amount of
dividends we are paying" He then
goes on to say that, finding protests
against this policy unavailing, he and
MIR. Morris sold most of their stock,
which he claims they had perfect right
to do under the circumstances.
The directors adopted another resOlu-
ton which reduces the basis price of
the product of the company 2 cents
proof gallon, aud authorizing the officers
of the company to put down prices to
such points as they may from time to
time deem necessary. The officers are
further instructed to put prices to such
figure ''as will enable the com
pany to hold it's trade at all
hazards" Another meeting of the di-
rectors will be held tomorrow, and it is
said that the question of purchasing
leases. which expire May /, on all prop
critics not actually owned by the trust
will come up OH Mr.. Greenhut's motion.
Ii it is decided to purchase the plants in
dicated an expenditure of between
$4,000, 600 and 100000 will be made.

TRIED TO KIDNAP.
But the Game Was Stopped just
in Time

1t is claimed that an attempted kid
mapping was frustrated in Minneapolis
yesterday. The story is that certain
Mrs. 9. w. Ray. said to be 4 detective.
has been in the city for some
weeks for the purpose of kid
naping the little daughter of Mrs.
E. j. Harple. Mrs. Harple is
the wife of E. ]. Harple, of Erie. Pa.
She and her husband separated some
time ago, and Mrs. Harple came to Min
neapolls to live with her father, j, P,
Gierum, of 705 Eighth street southeast.
Mrs. Ray came to Minneapolis a few
weeks ago and stopped at the Wander
bilt house, opposite the Milwaukee
depot. She had photograph of the
little child and diagram of the lOca-
ton OF the house at 705 Eighth
street southeast. 1t is believe
that she came on here to capture
the child for the father, VINO still
lives in Erie, and against whom the
wife has begun suit for divorce. She
was seen around the home of Mrs Har-
pies father so much that the family be-
came suspicious and notified their at
torneys, Odell & Mcmahon. They
placed the case in the hands of the no.
lice. and Mrs. Ray was run down at the
home of the father Of Mrs. Harple yes
terday. When cornered, she broke
down and confessed in the presence of
the attorneys and Supt. Henderson.
The case has been laid before the grand
jury. 1t seems to be plain case OF an
attempt to kidnap.

Discredited Mr.. Thayer Acts Like
an Imbeciie.
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. AT noon today
Gov Boyd was still in Omaha, and said
he had not decided on what course he
would pursue. He expects Thayer to
notify him to come and take the office,
but the latter has not yet done so, and,
if disposed, can hang on until the SUI
preme court mandate issues Feb. 90.
Politicians are advising Thayer to re-
tire quietly. Gov. Boyd has notified his
former appOintees that he is governor,
and they are preparing to resume charge
of their respective stations. State Oil
Inspector Himrod Boyd's appointee).
who was rejected by Thayer, has noti-
fed the oil companies that his is the
only inspection that will go, and they
have recognized him. 1t is probrbe the
personnel of the executive department
will be entirely reOrganZed without re-
siStance from the Thayer outfit.
: A dispatch from Lincoln says: John
l.. Webster, Thayer's attorney, came
down to Lincoln this morning and was
cloSeted with the ex-governor for some
hours. The entire situation was care
fully reviewed, and Webster put forth
his best endeavOrs and most clinching
arguments to prove to his client that
the best thing that he could do at
the present time would be to simply
step, down and out. surrendering the
office to Gov. Boyd without further
delay. But Thayer was obdurate
and said that he should continue to ex-
ercise the Office of governor until he re-
7ceived mandate from court from
which there was no appeal. IL am gov
ernor now," he said, land l shall con-
tinue SO for at least month";" Nothing
would shake him In his determination,
and he will hold to his resolve.
About the only indication of the COM
ing change at the capitol was the an
nouncement by Gov. Thayer today that
Monday next he would, with other state
officers, beaye for La Porte, Tex. where
a new town is being founded by these
gentlemen. Gov. Thayer is to assume
the general management of the enter
prise.
nL1NCoLN. Neb., Feb. 2.-Tonight Mr..
Thayer was again besieged by the most
prominent Republicans in the state,
both in person and by wire. to give up
the place without being forcibly re-
moved. The wires have been kept busy,
and it is now announced that he will in
the morning wire Mr.. Boyd to come
down and relieve him.

ADLER WILL COME.
He Will Reach Minneapolis To-
morrow and Confer With HAYES,


Tomorrow is the day set for the ar
rival of Architect Adler, of Chicago.
The architects have decided that it will
be better for them to confer personally
concerning the changes that must be
made in the plans. They can do that
w better advantage in Minneapolis than
they can in Chicago, for they will have
the material. the building itself that is
at hand here. So MIR. Adler will come
up from Chicago and he and Hayes will
look the plans over together. Mr..
Adler has been arranging national con-
vention halls for good many years
and he has some ideas about the In
terror arrangements, particularly with
reference TO the seating of the press
representatives, that he wants to
see carried out in Minneapolis.
the greatest favor. Chairman Bracket
has received letter from a Chicago eX-
pert in the line of buildings, who says
he will place himself at the service of
the committee at any time from now
until the convention hall is ready for
occupancy. 1t IS thought that the con-
tract for making the alterations in the
building will be intruSted to some Min
neapolis man.
1t is given out that the arrangements
for giving out tickets to the convention
hall are in the hands of Chairman
Clarkson and Sergeant-at-Arms Meek.
Heretofore it has been the custom to
allow each delegate five extra tickets
and each alternate one. The same plan
will probably be followed in MinneapO-
lis this year.
The accommodation committee met
yesterday afternoon and began to
formulate plan of procedure. The
committee will not reserve any rooms
for people unless the application is ac-
companied by deposit. This is to pre-
vent the keepers of boarding houses,
etc, from being caught the way they
were during the Y. P. S. Z. E. conven-
ton. Then many of them prepared for
twice as many guests as they ever re-
ceiyed

The grand jury had busy day of it
yesterday, and scores of witnesses
lOunged about the Railways until the
hour fer adjourning arrived. Consid-
cradle of the work before them was &C
complished when they adjourned. and
they may be through by tonight, unless
something unexpected demands their
attention.
The first case taken up yesterday was
that of Frank Davis and John Walters.
who broke into Pat Lyons saloon not
long ago. They are charged with bur
glary in the second degree. The prin-
cipal witnesses in the case were police
officers. Walter Grinton. who stole a
small sum of money from 129 Second
street north, on Jan. 81, Is charged with
grand larceny. His case was fully in
yestigated, and it is said an Indictment
will be found. John Davis, charged
with the larceny of a fur coat, was dis
posed of in very few minutes. But
three witnesses were examined.
The case of j. s. Beach. charged with
the ENLIGHTENMENT of six watches, which
he was tU sell, was taken up and half
of Henry Bougerie, Henry Buckham
and William ID. GeueVey, the three
young forgers who were arrested about
two weeks ago, were settled. 1t is IN
derstood that an indictment in each case
will be returned.
Before adjourning the charge Of at
tempted theft of $40 against Grissell was
taken up. Grissell is the man who was
one of the inmates of the New England
lodging house at the time of the fire
there. A fellow inmate named Pierce
threw his clothes out of the window and
the. pocketbook fell from one of the
pockets. Grissell was standing near
where it fell and pocketed the money.

St. Barnabas' Charity Nurse.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the woman's hospital committee, held at
st. Barnabas' hospital Feb. l, 1t was de-
cided to send out charity nurse. This
is new enterprise in Minneapolis, al
though it has been tried in many East
ern cities, and found most worthy and
practical charity. The nurse will make
her home at st. Barnabas' hospital. and
will go at the call of any reputable
physician. Her work will be not only
to care for the sick to whom her
attention may be called, but also to
teach them to care for themselves.
The committee has been fortunate in
securing nurse who can speak the
Scandinavian language. Any one know.
ing fit cases for the care of the charity
nurse may report the same in person or
by telephone to ST. Barnabas hospital.
and, after Feb. Z, all such calls will be
promptly attended. The committee de-
slres for this enterprise not only the in
terest of charitable people, but of the
entire medical profession as we'll. III

Mayor Winston Still Hesitates to

luton.
Some question has arisen as to what
fund the money to be refunded to GER
tain of the members Of the police de-
partment may be taken from, and it is
possible that Mayor Winston may again
veto this measure. Properly, the money
should come out of the police fund, as
that is the one from which police SAL
aries are paid, and the one which is
benefited by the reduction in salaries,
for which it is proposed to recompense
the men for 10y this payment. The list
OF officers. however, who come under
this resolution, is long one, and the
amount which it is proposed to pay
them is $3.50 each, and as the necessity
or employing extra patrolmen during
the convention will cause very heavy
drain upon the appropriation of this
year, and the mayor and others Ques-
ton the wisdom and propriety of max
ing SO large demand upon the police
fund at this time. An attempt will be
made TO pay these amounts out of an
other fund if possible.
President Potter, of the council,
rather lodged the issue on this meas
ure. AS acting mayor he approved all
other actions of the council OIL the
morning following the last meeting, but
this resolution he left for the mayor to
decide upon.

Routine Business.
The meeting of the board of charities
yesterday was brief, and as the business
which came up was principally of
small character, lacked the hustle which
has characterized the recent sessions of
that body.
The case of James Roche, Mime

and as it was reported that he and his
family were doing pretty we'll in that
city, it was decided to leave him there.
and the superintendent was authorized
to expend s4) in his behalf.
An application from Henry Hendrick-
son, asking the board to purchase for
him ticket to Sweden, was referred to
the superintendent to investigate and
report to the board at the next meeting.
The appointment of Charles SItka to
act as assistant to the clerk during the

GROVER CAPTURED.
An Irresistible Outpouring OF At
ianta Admirers.

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 3.-Ex-President
Cleveland passed through here at noon
today, en- route from New Orleans. At
the central station he was given ire
mendous ovation. Fully $4,000 persons
were in and about the station, and from
the time the train rolled in until it left
there was continuous thunder of ap-
plause. Cannon saluted the arrival of
the train, and before it had stopped Gov.
Northern had gotten aboard and intro
duced Mr.. Cleveland to the multitude.
For twenty minutes he shook hands
with the crowd, and, in response to
calls, made short speech, thanking the
people for the cordial reception and ex-
pressing his pleasant remembrance of
his visit here five years ago. He had
declined all previous invitations to
speak, he said, bnt it would require
man with greater backbone than he was
reputed to have to resist such an out
pouring.
