Robert Bonner still says he didn't.
Now this is what the old gentleman
did say, and it was published at the
time in the time in the New York
Herald, of October 26, 1891:
We hear a great deal said about the
two minute trOtter. L do not expect
ever to see any horse trOt a mile in
two minutes. My good friend Gener-
al Tracy, Secretary of the Navy, says,
if he is correctly reported, he expects
that within two years the two-mInute
tTotter will have arrived. | cannot
agree with him, and as proof that L
have the courage of my convictions
| will give 5000 TO see any horse
within two years trOt mile in zoos
on a regulation track, such as Cleve-
! land, where Maud S trotted, or any
other regulation track, such as
Buffalo, Rochester or Hartford,
| So when DOble wired the old
gentleman the other day that Nancy
had trotted i'll 2:04 on a regulation
track he quite took the breath out Of
! Bud by wiring back, in effect, that he
was mighty glad to hear it. Since
then he says he did not send DOble
| the $1,000 because the conditions were
not complied with that he meant the
| horse must be hitched to an old
] ihsIliOn llllS 10 koOl cAtAiSts
! Uncle Robert had b, ter way out
| than that. His contract il, ~ will
! give $1,000 to see any horse within
! two years tTot mile in 2:05 on a
regulation track etc.
! Now we are no lawyer; we do not
know enough of it even to keep out of
! it, but for once we will show uncle
Robert a legal hole he may crawl in
to, which has a good deal more rea-
son in it than the ridiculous one he
did go in. He need never pay that
! $1,000. BY the terms of his own con-
tract he is ssfe-safeT than a creased
duck in an April shower. The con-
tract says az will give $1,000 to see"
| the race and who can say he saw it ?
No, he did not. That's the last thing
! he wanted to see and perhaps Will
ever wish to see. To the old man il
meant the same as for the vengeful
eyes of hot and impetuOus love TO be-
hold their idol in anuthers arms. But
there is one thing certain; if the old
gentleman expects not to see 1t, he
must wear pair of leather specks at
the future race courses.

Filibustoring stnl Keeps the silver Bill
from Reaching Vote.
WASHINGTON. July 7.-rhere was a larger
attendance on tho Democratic side Of the
house. and after agreeing to the conference
report on the river and harbor bin the free
coinage men felt confident that the silver
bill would be referred to the committee on
coinage, weights and measures. Tikir eff
forts We're not successful. however, al
though they worked zealously 70 that end.
The anti-silver contingent succeeded in fill
clustering against the reference Of the silver
bill TO the committee on coinage, weights
ind measures, and by dilatory motions tied
the house up for over four hours.
They We're most active and vigilant in
their endeavors, under the leadership of
Alr. Tracey Of New York; Mr.. Williams, Of
Massachusetts, and Mr.. Fitch, Of New
York, who watched the roll calls with lynx
eyed scrutiny and demanded recapitula-
tiou Of every vote. Further proceedings ON
the silver bill We're interrupted BY the con-
ference report on the diplomatic and con
sular bin, which occupied the rest OF the
day, no agreement being reached, and the
house adjourned.
Ia the senate the last great appropriation
bin not yet sent to conference the sundry
civil bill-wris reported and will be taken
up today. Mr. Aldrich, on behalf Of the
Republican M jority, offered a resolution to
adjourn July 20, but plainly intimated an
apprehension that the session would be pro-
tracted considerably beyond that time
Among the bills passed by the senate dur
ing the day was one increasing tho pension
rolls for loss Of limbs s7OO0OO per annum,
and appropriating 100000 for an investiga-
tion of the 'slumsn of big cities by the corh-
missioner of labor. Both the measures re-
quire the action Of the house. The senate
also passed a house bin to punish the carry
ing of concealed weapons in the District Of
Columbia.
The antsilver members of the house met
in conference after adjournment at the
Arlington hotel with about fifty members
present. They elected Congressman Her
bert of Alabama, chairman Congressman
Little, Of New York, secretary, and Mr..
McKaig, of Maryland, assistant secretary.
After number Of speeches had been made
they decided that they had majority Of
the members of the house on their side of
the question, and, as Mr.. Tracey said, more
than dozen over a majority.
They came TO the conclusion to allow the
bill to be referred TO the coinage, weights
and measures committee without any fur
ther antagonism. They also authorized the
chairman to appoint a committee of seven
members to map out plans for action when
the bill comes back from the committee

IL Looks Now as Though the Tories
win Remain in Power.
LONDON, July THE total number of
members so far elected is 240, of whom
there are 122 Conservative and 20 Union
lists, making total of 142 Tory-Unionists
The Liberals have 94 members and the
Irish Nationalist have !.
In the latest elections the Liberals cap
tured twelve seats heretofore held by Con-
servatives or Liberal Unionists, and the
Tories and Liberal -Unionists captured five
seats from tho Liberals. This leaves the
Liberals with net gain of sixteen seats.
The pollings showed that the Liberals came
very near capturing a number of other
seats, and perhaps might have done so by
additional exertion. Mr.. Balfour for in
stance, the Tory leader and antichrist Of
home rule, narrowly escaped defeat, having
only 40 majority.
But the result is the same however mar
row the majority, and the fact remains
that the Tories and Liberal -Unionists have
managed, in many eases by very slender
majorities, to remain in possession Of doubt
ful constituencies, in which the Liberals
were supposed to have excellent prospects
Of successes The indications are that the
Liberals win fail to overcome the lead of
the Tories and their allies.

BUILDING UP rHF pAerv


In an article intended to explain tn,
faiiure Of Repnblicanism in the South.
John $. Wise, formerly of Virginia now
living in New York. says:
As a Southern man. an ex.Confederate.
and Republican. ! think I can tell you.
and it Is idle to deceive ourselves about
it. If the Republican party.
wisely forgetting its resentments, had
set these old antagonists to voting again,
reserving the question of negro suffrage,
the whites would have been divided in
the South within two years
after the war ended =
What actually happened has proved e
curse to the section, and to both races
The whites formed conservative or
whiteman's parties, embracing all shades
of former political opinion, with the
single tenet of maintaining white
supremacy They did not dare at first
TO coll themselves the Democratic party
They embraced too many men who hated
Democracy But they drfted into ALI
ance with, and gradually assumed the
name Of, the Democracy. To maintain
white supremacy they resOrted TO any
means, fair or foul Foul means were
often resorted to.
These are not unwelcome or novel
truths TO the present administration and
TO the Force bill advocates They cannot
learn anything new from Nr. Wise or
from any other man familiar with
Southern affairs. They do not wish to
learn anything; they are determined not to
know anything that would prevent them
from believing that the Force bill, which
even Grant failed to enforce, is the
remedy for the evils and will build up
Republican party in the South. They
arc proposing 20 apply the Force bin
methods here in Delaware, even. Mr.
Wise says:
Another thing which stands in the way
of building up Republican party ia the
South is such absolute shubbing and ig-
noring as the present administration has
given Southern Republicans This is
beyond comparison the most sectional ad
ministration that has ever been in power
The South is no more a part of il than
Hayti, Cuba or Jamaica.
The assistance that President Harri
son has given in building up a Repubh
can party here has been an assistance
given to one wing Of the Republican
party to browbeat and bulldoze another
wing, 1t is matter Of taste, perhaps
which ing president should select, but
we think few men of intelligence
and integrity viii claim that he has
selected wisely AT any rate the results
have not increased the reputation of Re
publicanism in Delaware though it gives
a few men who compose the personal
machine q short lease of power

Carter May succeed campbeli.

WASHINGTON, July z Commissioner Car
ter, of the general land office, received a
large number of visitors, and politics
seemed to be the paramount theme of dis
cussion In regard TO the Craftsmanship Of
the national Republican committee the
commissioner had no definite information
to impart. There are good grounds for be-
lieving, however, that he intends to decline
the secretaryship of the committee and
that he will do so formally at the meeting
of the executive committee which win be
held in New York on July l5
He viii so to New York in day OF two
and will have a conference with Chairman
Campbell and Mr. Clarkson, after which
the executive committee win be announced.
While Air. Carter does not seek the chair
manship Of the national committee, it is be-
lieved that, If the committee decides unani-
mously to elect him to succeed Mr., Camp
bell, he will accept the position.
II appears that there is an anti-Harrison
faction in Montana, which is represented
on the national committee, and that the re-
lations between the Carter faction and the
anti-Harrison faction are not very cordial
To enable Mr.. Carter to represent Montana
on the national committee and make him
eligible to the Craftsmanship, it will, it is
said, be necessary for the Montana member
to withdraw in his favor.

TOPEKA, Kan, July THE Democratic
state convention for the nomination Of
congressman at large and full state ticket
met in the capitol building Hon. Tully
Scott Of Oberlin, was made chairman. The
platform was adopted by acclamation. It
approves the nomination Of Cleveland and
Stevenson and indorses the declarations OF
the Chicago convention. It also declares
prohibition TO be a failure.
The chairman called for the nominations
Of ten electors. Hon. Judge Martin, Of
Topeka, took the floor, and after a short talk
introduced a resolution naming the ten
electors nominated by the Peoples party at
Wichita, Kan, in June as the choice of the
Democratic convention for their electors
The resolution was put TO a vote and carried
-4Ol delegates voting for, 50 against-and
the first part Of the fusion programme was
carried out.
But over the endorsement Of the Peoples
party's state ticket the fight came. Every
body wanted to talk and everybody did,
and for awhile confusion reigned supreme.
The Hon. Joseph Lowe, Of Washington,
offered a substitute to Judge John Martins
resolution, naming a full state ticket, with
Ex-Governor Click for governor and Judge
John Martin, Of Topeka, for congressman
at large. The substitute was laid on the
table amid applause.
Fused with the Peoples Party.
Roll call was then ordered on the resolu-
tion TO endorse the fusion ticket, and re-
suited 222 for and 15G against, and the mo-
tion was declared carried amid cheering; the
full programme of the fusion element of the
convention had been carried out.
The following resolution was adopted by
a rising vote, amid great applause:
Whereas, Men have been killed by Pinkerton
detectives in the citadel of Republican protec-
tion known as Carnegies Homestead mills in
Pennsylvania, be It resolved by the Demo
cratic party Of Kansas in convention assembled
that we denounce as heinious crime the en-
ployment OF Pinkerton detectives by the CAPT
talists Of the country for the purposes Of de-
stroyiug organized labor.
Resolved That we sympathize with tn
widows and orphans Of laborers today who
fell at the Homestead IN the defense Of what
they believed to be the rights OF American
froemen
Resolved, That as American citizens we can
not too seriously condemn the high handed out
rage porpetrated by the plutocrats against the
organized labor at Homestead today. and that
we call npon all good loyal Americans to Join
with us in driving these bloody tyrants from
power and in restoring American freedom and
American labor to the proud position they oc.
cupied in the early days OF the republic.
The action of the Democratic convention
in fusing with the Peoples party without
question Of doubt takes the state out OF the
hands Of the Republican party At the
election in 1896 the Republicans cast 49,
