COLORED DEMOCRATS.
New York Cleveland League in
Line for Right.

Abby, N. Y, May 26.-The colored
citizens state Democratic organization
known as the New York State Cleveland
league met here in convention today.
There were 72 delegates from New
York, 90 from Kings county, 10 from
Queens county and about so from other
counties OF the state. The platform
adopted is in substance as follows:
There are today in the country 1,407,C00
legal colored voters. We believe that it is
neither sound politics nor good statesman
ship that they should unalterably attach
themselves to one party, and base their de
mands on the needs, wants and desires of
the negro rather than on the citizen; and
that accident of color should not control the
way in which men should vote.
The next plank deprccates the South
ern Outrages. and charges them to the
Republican administration, saying:
Under a Democratic administration for
four years. peace and prosperity prevailed,
demonstrating the influence which Demo
cratic president could rightfully exert"
We believe that the Democratic party is the
poor mans party; it is the exponent of
labor, which is our lot. We are consumers.
We have no place i'll the protected manu-
factories. The key TO the tariff that contains
the solution OF all the problems is IN the IN
terest of labor"
To this the Democratic party is committed.
A resolution indorsing the February
convention was lost by vote of ayes
81, nays 43. after all angry and spirited
discussion. A resolution protesting
against the present national adminiStra-
ton for failing to give any representa-
ton to the colored people of America
upon the WORMS fair national board was
adopted.

cial plank declares.
The general government without the inter
yention of banks. should issue circulating
medirm of sufficient volume for the trans
action of the business of the country in a
manner which will be just to the debtor as
we'll as the creditor class: said circulating
medium to consist of gold and silver coin
and United States treasury notes, each to be
q full Legal Iende: for all debts, public and
private, and each 10 be 4axable.

BLAINE WILL NOT OBJECT.
All Signs Tend to Turn the Sec
petaPV'S Head

retary's Head.
NEW YORK. May 20 Secretary
Blaine and his wife took breakfast IN
the public diningrOom of the Fifth Av-
enue hotel at S O'clock this morning.
After breakfast the secretary and his
wife returned to their rooms, and, al
though many cards were sent up, no
one was permitted to see Mr.. Blaine.
There was one exception, however, eX
Gov. Ames, of Massachusetts, and he
was the only person to whom the Secre-
tary accorded an interview.
After his talk with Mr.. Blaine, the eX
governor said: "Mr. Blaine will accept
the nomination. There is no longer any
question about it. He has reconSidered
his letter 10 Mr.. ClarkSon stating that
under no circumstance would he be a
candidate, and while he will not write a
letter formally making such an an
nouncement, he will not write one de-
clining the nomination, as has been re-
ported he would do. Massachusetts, is
all for Blaine. There appears to be a
Blaine cyclone. The Republicans of
the whole country appear to demand
his nomination.
The rumored conference given out to
be held at the Fifth Avenue hotel by
the advocates of Blaine's nOmina-
ton has been abandoned so
far as formal conference
is concerned. Quietness prevailed
among the political leaders tonight, and
any appearance of large gathering was
Zealously avoided. 1t is nevertheless
understood the plan by which it is
hoped to capture the Minneapolis con-
vention has been decided upon.
1t is stated that every effort
will be made to force Mr.. Blaine's nOm-
inatlOn Oh the first ballot, and that he
will not be consulted as to whether he
will permit his name to be used.
The plan is said to be as follows: A
sensation will be created. Word will
be sent to the faithful that only the
most pronounced supporters of Mr..
Blaine among the Minneapolis dele
gates shall cast a vote for their
favorites on the first ballot. The bal
ance of the uninStructed vote will
be thrown to others and the
flibustering will be kept up
until it is definitely set
tied that a nomination for
Harrison is impossible, then Blame
will be called upon as the only person
to break the deadlock, and he will be
nominated with hurrah. This is the
alleged programme.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-At the state
department it is expected that Secretary
Blaine will return to Washington this
evening.

WINNEMUccA, New, May 26.-The
Democratic state convention met here
today. The platform declares in part:
"The Democratic party of Nevada de-
clares its unalterable devotion to bi-
metallism. and the free and unlimited

Resolved, That in the event of the Chicago
national convention failing to nominate a
candidate who is unequivocably in favor of

cratic party.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Gen. John c.
New, i'll an interview on the presideh-
tial outlook, says that President Harri-
son is in the race to stay and win. and
he will do both. Referring to the talk
of opposition to Harrison, Mr.. New said
the opposition to bim can only grow out
of personal grievances and the diSap-
pointments of those who are now. en-
deavoring to work it up. "Nor does
this come of any sincere admiration or
love for the gentlemen whose names,
with or without their consent, are
being used to cOnjure with. With
these men it is anything TO
beat Harrison, but they are
no more likely to succeed with this at
tempt.than in the attempt to defeat the
nomination of President Lincoln in
1864. The great body of the Republican
party, the straightforward, thinking
millions, have settled down to the con-
viction that President Harrison, having
kept the faith and proven himself in
every respect worthy of and equal to
the duties of his great position, has de-
served and should receive a renomina-
ton and reelection. Any attempt by
the machine or by political Jugglery at
this late day to defeat their will would
most certainly meet with their deserved
resentment -

1NGERsoLL SUES BIERMAN.
A Duluth Suit Affecting Iron and
the Auditor.

the Auditor.
DULUTH, May 26.-H. G. Ingersoll
filed a complaint here today in an action
against II. V. Rutherford, the Mesaba
Iron Range Mining company and
Adolph Bierman, state auditor and eX-
officio land commissioner. He alleges
that on Jan. 80. 1892, he made written
application for leases for certain de-
scribed lands in township 5S, range II.
He also paid 5000 into the state treasury
and says it was held there over two
weeks. Certain deputies and clerks in
the land Office conspired. he alleges,
with Rutherford to prevent him Qnger-
solI) from securing the leases TO carry
out the scheme. They, either on the
afternoon or evening of Jan. 29, after
the Office was closed and before il
opened next morning. conveyed infor-
nation which they could only obtain by
virtue of their positions, to Rutherford
of the lands to be opened and informed
him that he would get the leases in
spite OF the plaintiffs applications. Ac-
cOrdingly, so the plaintiff sets forth,
Rutherford made application but did
not pay in his money until the evening
of Jan. so, or the morning of Feb. l. He
further alleges that the clerks made
hurried entries on the records that
Rutherford had applied for leases and
that they had been issued. These leases
were all transferred. to the Mesaba Iron
Range Mining company. and lngersoH
demands that they be vacated and set
aside and the land commissioner ordered
to issue leases to him.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, May 26.-The
body of William Anderson, the wealthy
logger, who has been missing from
home for the past five weeks, was found
this afternoon by laboring man in a
boom about ten rods from the shore
and four miles below the city. Under
the right ear was a cash about an inch
and half long. He is believed to have
been murdered, as, at the time Of his
disappearance, he was known to have
had on a coat and vest, some money,
and a gold watch. When discovered.
the coat, vest and watch we're gone. He
disappeared on Friday, April 29.
On Wednesday he had cashed
a $500 check, and had gone
some $500. He left his home
before daylight Friday morning. A
watchman of the Shaw mills says be-
tween and o'clock that morning he
heard carriage drive in the direction
of Anderson's home, which is near the
mill. He heard some one say. Hurry
up," then heard the carriage drive
towards the city along the street next
the river. Shortly after he heard a
shrek. He did not tell of this for some
days. District Attorney Frawley has
taken charge of the case, and the in
quest will be held June 4. Drs. w. B.
Lyman and a. Trane made
the post mortem. but refuse
to make statements at this time. 1t is
known, however. that the lungs and
stomach were tree from water. which
would indicate Anderson to be dead be-
fore being put in the water. The re-
mains were placed in a metallic casket,
and will be buried tomorrow. Deceased
was of the firm of Anderson Bros, who
have logged on Wisconsin waters for
thirty years. and have filled some Of
the largest contracts. William Anderson
was deemed little peculiar,and suicide
was first thought of, but the general
opinion now is he was murdered and
was thrown into the river. If so, the
case is shrouded in deeper mystery than
was the Russell affair.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-I have the
very highest authority for saying that,

tion that he will-not under any circum-
stances accept the nomination, he will

over he may, even if he write such let

1868. In support of this claim. my in
formant states that 700 of the delegates
of the convention have pledged them
selves to vote for Blaine if they
can be assured that he will accept.
This assurance is given by Gen. Clark
con, who said today that, if nominated,
Blaine would accept. Should the unex-
pected happen 10 prevent Blaine's nom-
ination, the anti-Harrison leaders will
select either Tom Reed or Senator Sher-

The Defendant Wronged.

The appellants have Wronged the de-
fendant by their course in passing over,
the synod. and in holding up the defend
ant,as though he were guilty OF hereSy,;
even after the dismissal of the case by
the presbytery. A complaint against
the interlocutory decision Of the pres0y-
terry in dismissing the case against DR..
Briggs cannot be a final Judgment, and
therefore cannot be appealed from. An
appeal is only possible on a final Judg-
ment, and such dismissal of the case
cannot be so long as complaint against
an interlocutory decision is pending.
for it involves the question of the eX-
istence of the committee. In con-
clusion, DR.. Briggs said:
MI. Moderator. Ministers and Elders:
| have limited my argument to one
simple point-that is, the appellants, if
they are appellants, which we do not
cOncede. Ii they have the right to ap-
peal under any circumstances, Which is
open to grave doubt, they ought to go
to the synod of New York. The reasons
they present why you should entertain
their appeal are invalid. You could
not admit them without prejudicing the
cause of the defendant, uSurping the
authority which belongs to the lower
court, and acting in a hasty, illegal and
revolutionary manner.
submit this argument to your vener-
able body with the request that you will
do Justice to the appeal; that you will
recognize the right of his co-presbytery;
that you will credit the. presbytery OF
New York. and that you will trust the
synod of New York, all ofowhich you
can do only by dismissing the appeal
and referring the appellants to the
synod of New York, where they must
appear Ill any case to maintain their
own complaint before that judicatory
and to test the complaint of other in the
presbytery territory, ,pf New York which
might be considered and decidedxby the
synod of New York at their next meet
ing. ~,
After an address by Elder McCook on
behalf of the prosecutors, the moderator
stated the question was whether the
appeal he entertained. After consider
able desultory debate, vote was taken
and the motion was carried in the af-
frmative. The question then was upon
the report of the minority, recommend
ing that the case be sent back to the
synod of New York. Upon motion the
report was laid upon the table by vote
of 3S5 to 122. The majority report was
then adopted without division.
