PoRr TOWNSEND, Sept. T.-[Special.l-
The Democratic county convention as
sembled at Learned's opera house this
afternoon, and. after q stormy session,
nominated the weakest ticket ever placed
in the field in Jefferson county. Old and
reliable Democratic war horses like Joseph
Kuhn and several others were unmerci-
fully slaughtered by the city hall ring.
which had full control of the convention.
The ring controlled the organization and
named every candidate. When w. J.
Thompson. prominent member of the
Farmers Alliance, was nominated for
school superintendent wild and most
disgraceful scene ensued. Delegates arose
to their feet, denouncing Thompson as a
Mugwump and declared that they wanted
a Democrat. The nomination of two ladies
did not pacify the convention. w. J.
Rohde, late Of Chicago who had just been
defeated for the nomination for superior
Judge, accepted the nomination. Several
other similar scenes ensued. Following
are the nominations:
For the legislature, William Payne and Frank

county attorney, Robert W. Jennings; treas
urer, J. c. Christian; auditor, Jerry s. Rogers:

giving the country precincts only two
offices, Colvin and Kritch. Leading DEM
ocrats openly express their opinions that
the ticket is the weakest that could be
nominated, excepting possibly two candi-

MRS. HARRISON BETTER.
She Has . Fighting Chance for Life
The Best Day Yet.

Loon LAKE, y. Y. Sept. 17.-This was
the most favorable day Mrs. Harrison has
experienced since she was stricken
down with pieurisy nearly ten days
ago, and physicians express confidence
thus evening of her recovery from
that particular complication. They grave
ly admit, however. that the terrible seeds
of consumption are still present
and apt to continue steady IN
road upon her constitution. The
manner in which she has overcome the
attendant complication encourages them
to believe that she still has fighting
chance against the more serious maiady
with which she Is afflicted. The report
that she has q cancer of the stomach is
emphatically denied by both DIR. Dough
erty and DR. Gardner.

has stirred up great indignation among
Republicans.
Republicans are asking each other lust
what Attorney Albert Z. Joab asked Nell
son Bennett, viz: How can he (Bennettl
consistently remain Republican national
committeeman and go on boiling the
national ticket in this state?
For asking this question and refusing to
admit that Mr.. Doolittle pledged him self
to the cause of the Lake Washington canal
and finally denouncing Mr.. Bennett's as
sertion that Mr.. Doolittle did make pledges
as lie, Mr.. Bennett tried to knock on.
Mr.. Joab. Still, Mr.. Bennett does not re-
sign, and as result Republicans are be-
coming disgusted at him and his Mug
wump ideas and his Mugwump little
clique.
The call for the Republican county con-

He Says MT. Cleveland VIII BE Elected By
Men Who Opposed Him 1T Chicago.
"What about the situation - you found Il In
New York;" asked The STAR Reporter Of Mr..
VIM. Dickson, the well-known District demo-
crat, who has just returned from Gotham.
''After frequent conferences with members of
the national and state committees" said Mr..
Dickson, cit is certain that the democrats Of
New York city and state were never bet
ter organized or more harmonious than
they are today. The most active and vigorous
workers in the organization are to be found in
Tammany and among the friends and followers
Of Senator Hill If there be any who doubt
this let them rest assured that the democrats
of New York state are in the fight to win, and
feel confident Of victory. Nebraska, Nevada
and Colorado are liable to, and evidently will,
stake their fortunes with the alliance party
Senator Jones Of Nevada SO informed me, and
that view IL entertained by many who are
managing affairs in both the republican
and democratic committees. South Da-
kota Is also regarded as unsafe to the
Republicans. Connecticut, Indiana, West Vir-
ginia and Wisconsin are fighting grounds with
the odds strongly in our favor. Michigan de-
livers us portion OF its electoral vote, and the
south comes up smiling with full count on the
national ticket. Now you have my views drawn
from close observation and earnest inquiry.
Cleveland will be elected by the men who
honorably opposed his nomination at Chicago,
but who have fallen into line on party principle
and duty"

Harry High, a Painter, Was Killed by the
Fall of Scaffold.
Yesterday Harry High, a painter went to
work at his trade on the building of Thos. w.
Smith, the lumber dealer, corner of LIST street
and Indiana avenue, and was working on y
swinging scaffold from the mansard roof, when

and held an inquest at noon today.
The principal witness was VIM. Clark. fore
man for Mr.. Smith. The deceased was work.
ing at the top of the first story said witness. and
when he called "Look out" witness ran
into the doorway. He saw Mr.. High,
who had jumped from the scaffold,
run out toward the street and the
scaffold fell, striking High on the head. Wit
ness said that Mr.. High rugged the scaffold and
failed to lash it as witness had instructed him
to do. Witness said that he usually rugged the
scaffold, but on this occasion he did not. A
colored man gave similar testimony.
WAS SAILOR.
Mr.. Smith also gave testimony. He did not
see the accident. He said that the wood that
killed Mr.. High was pine strip three by four
and sixteen feet long. Witness said that Mr..
High was sailor and was well up in rigging
scaffolds and he could walk along cornice with
AS apparent ease as an ordinary person walking
along the street.
Wilson Brewer, colored, who witnessed the
accident, said that the deceased fell upon his
face. Witness thought that the deceased was
working some distance from the ground on An
old ladder such as is used by hod carriers.

SIGNED CAPRIvI's BILL,

The Kaiser Appends His Signature to the
Military Measure of the Chancellor.
The German emperor has signed Count Won
Caprivis military bill and has empowered the
chancellor to dissolve the reichstag in case it
refuses to approve the measure. This step he
took on Saturday after having read long re-
port on the bill from the chancellor. The addi-
tionnl annual expenditure required will be
81 SOC, 900 marks.
Heretofore the unofficial estimates Of the prob
able expense attendant upon the introduction
OF the two-yesr service term have varied be-
tween $4,000 600 and $50 000. 900 marks. A few
exceedingly conservative men have estimated
the expense at 10000, 900. but this figure was
generally regarded a. ridiculously low. The
radicals who are trying to precipitate cabinet
crisis and dissolution on the issue of the bill
will be seriously embarrassed by the smallness
Of the increase, as they have been the loudest
shouters Tor the two-year term. and could never
have had reasonable expectations of obtaining
it at less cost than IS 900 900 or GO, O0O. 600
In semi-ofhcial statement given out in Ber-
lin on October the aim and genesis OF the
German army bill were described as follows:
When Count Caprivi was appointed imperial
chancellor he found ready 10 his hand detailed
plan for increasing the armed forces Of the
empire while retaining the system Of three
years service.
This scheme, which had been worked out by
Gen. Won Nerdy, the minister. and Count
Waldersee, then at the head Of the general staff
was to be carried out by degrees. Prince Bis
marck also had given his assent As Count
Capriyi discovered that many difficulties pre-
scented themselves to the carrying through Of
this plan, after thoroughly satisfactory expert
ments had been made with various infantry
regiments on the two years system, the present
bill was drawn.
Yesterday the imperial chancellor, the min
lister Of war and the chief Of the general staff
were as fully agreed upon their object and the
means Of attaining il as Prince Bismarck Gen.
Won Verdv and Count Waldersee formerly were
They do not consider the two years system as
the end, but rs the means TO the end. The
chief ends in view are the enforcement OF uni
versal liability to service and the enrolment of
a younger class Of men than are at present as q
rule with the colors. The contents of the bill
we're made known TO the Prussian council Of
ministers some months ago. The president Of
the Prussian ministry thoroughly agrees with
the chancellor as to the political necessity Of
the bill and none Of the ministers. not exclud-
ing the minister of finance, has raised any OBJ
lection.
