was the cause of drunkenness, and the lat

nothing.

Weaver moved that one speaker ON each
side be given three minutes, and this was
agreed to. Then Miss Curtis, a pretty girl
delegate from X. of l.. assembly in
Colorado, told the convention that as long
Us women had no voice at the ballot-box
their opinions would go up like smoke.
The women would be satisfied with the
adoption of a resolution demanding that
the question of universal suffrage be sub
mitted to the legislatures of the different
states and territories for favorable action.
Jerry Simpson thought that settled the
matter, but Others objected, and then the
convention lost itself, and became simply
a bowling mob.

TURNER'S SLAP AT THE WOMEN.

He Gives Them IN Unkind Cut, Consider
ing Circumstances-AdjO
Dozens of men were yelling at once.
Turner of Georgia gave the women an I'M
kind cut when he protested against "the
gross breach of faith that had been prac-
ticed by lot of women who represented
no votes and had only been admitted by
courtesy" On viva voce vote the ayes
and noes seemed about equal, and it was
proposed to let Miss Curtis plank stand,
but North Carolina man struck the pre-
vailing spirit in the declaration that he
would 'be darned to all eternity"
before he would let woman suffrage ride
over him, and that he would stay there a
month first

After scene of turmoil it was decided

demanded that he be allowed to plump
s. X. of L. votes for the plank, notwith-
standing that all the X. of L. men had
voted with their states. and in spite of
wild opposition Secretary Hayes added the
votes to the total. Then the ants went
roaring crazy, and it looked like they
would storm the platform. Shouts of
yelled back and forth, and bedlam reigned
supreme. A Kansas granger on the floor
talked back to a knight, and got a sharp
rap over the head from the latter's cane

STATE OFFICIALS.

Harriston, Miss, has negro named
Coleman Blackburne, who stands with
out rival for strength of neck. On the
Goth of last month he was hanged for
murder. Coleman was allowed to hang
thirty-six minutes when he was taken
down. and being pronouced dead by the
three local physicians the supposed
corpse was turned over to the relatives
and taken to Franklin, thirty miles dis
tant. While en- route to the family
burying grounds, noise was heard in
the coffin and when it was opened the
supposed dead man was found to be
breathing. Physicians were summoned
and the patient has since been pro-
nounced out of danger. If Coleman is a
man of any intelligence he ought to be
able to tell an interesting tale about the
sensations experienced by those who
shuttle off this mortal coil at the end of
the hangman's rope. It would be inter-
esting to know just what relationship
Coleman bears to the law after having
beed hanged and after three doctors sat
on the corpse" and pronounced him
dead

The Albany Democrat came out few
days ago in an article on F. A. Moore
republican candidate for Supreme judge
OF this state, charging him with having
drawn will for dying woman whereby
her three daughters were defrauded oi
their rights to piece of real estate in
East Portland valued at $4,000 and
afterwards took a fee of 81 900 to set the
will aside. and through the agency of a
third party purchased third interest
in the property for $4,000. The Demo
crat proves its charge by the records oi
the Supreme court where the case was
finally adjudicated, and by the sworn
testimony of Moore himself. If the
charge is true, and there is scarcely room
for doubt that it is so, F. A. Moore is
not a. fit candidate for constable of a
precinct, let alone the highest judicial
office in the state. eff this is treason
make the most of it, But Mr.. Moore
owes it TO his constituents to explain the
matter, if he can.

The Peoples Party of Crook county,
have nominated candidates for repre-
sentative, sheriff and county commits
sioner, leaving the other offices to be
filed by the old parties. As the demo
cratic party is in the ascendancy in
Crook county democrats think they see
'the fine italian hand of the republican
tricksters'' in this third party movement,
and that it has no other end in view
than that of drawing votes from the
democratic candidates, 1t is a thousand
chances to one that the peoples party
have made their nominations without
ever thinking which party would be
most effected.

One democratic power that is not
whooping for Cleveland is the Denver
NeaDs. Editor Atkins will never consent
to the nomination of the man who de-
clined to recognize Colorado as a dis
tinct democratic influence in 1886.
Rather than do that Editor Atkins will
retire into the mountains of Hepsidam
and leave the rest of creation to shift for
itself. His demands are few and SIM
pie; all he asks for is free silver, free
trough and free fight.

The Walla Walla Statesman believes
that to the victors belong the spoils. 1t
therefore serves the following warning
notice on Monsieur De Buffalo, -
IfGrover Cleveland should again receive
the democratic nomination it should be
understood before hand whether he is
going to keep tire republicans in Office
OF turn the rascals out. Democrats,
like the other party, do not care to fight,
and gain victory in order that their
enemies be rewarded.

ings of the board of directors of the

Ezra NJ. Kingsley, who is the secre-
tary and treasurer of the seminary and
recorder of the board of directors said
yesterday, in explaining the action of
the board, that while the action was
not taken in spirit of defiance to the
general assembly. yet the board had to
be governed by the seminary charters
In speaking about the Rev. DIR. Briggs
in regard to whose transfer the fric-
ton arose between seminary and as
sembly, Mr.. Kingsley said that should
the verdict Of the New York Presby-
terry be an adverse one at the trial next
month the board Of directors would
combine to stand by him, if
he answered the questions propounded
to him in the same manner as he has
done hitherto
