said he he'd stumped the state
for the Democracy In 1884 and in
1885. In 1888 he came to st. Paul,
and worked for the cause until 1892.
In the campaign of 1890 he stumped the
state, making forty-six Speeches and
spending S165 of his own money for the
cause Of DEMOCRACY. Not alluding to
the spring Of 1892, he said he had sup
ported the Democratic ticket in the fall
OF that year. He had always supported
the cause Of tariff reform. President
Cleveland was criticised for refusing to
sign the tariff bill. He said that If not

up, however, with united feeling that
the county will do what it can to re-

the method of selecting the delegates
to the state convention, resulting In
departure from the old rule and selec-

that he had not even thought of making

there were no slated arrangements and
he hoped there would be good delega-

He then announced that the body was

WAITE GOES CLEAR.
OTHER DEFENDANTS HELD TO
THE GRAND JURY.
Commissioners Finds There Was a
Conspiracy to Injure Ex-
Matron LikeDs.

DENVER, Aug. 31.-United Stat es
Commissioner Rinsdale heard testimony
for the defense today in the hearing in
Mullins, of the fire and police board,
Chief of Police Armstrong and Police
Matron Dwyer of eonspiring to with
hold from ex-Matron Likens letter for
her. The court room was crowded
Gov. Waite spoke briefly in shis own
behalf. He denied.the imputation that
he had said Miss Likens was disrepu-
table person. "If have been guilty of
embezzlement or conspiracy or aay
crime, do not ask any favors," said
the governor. "In my judgment, there
is no evidence to show any guilt. If the
court finds from the testimony there Is
guilt, expect it to do Its duty, and l
know 1t will"
The governor, while speaking. walked
up and down in an excited manner, and
delivered his words with dramatic eff
feet.
He declared he had never had any
thing to do with the matter whatever,
and was greatly surprised when he
learned he had been charged with an
unlawful act. He never had conversa-
tion with any person for the purpose of
entering into conspiracy for any pur.
pose.
"The letter In question was handed
to me to read" he SAID, ''and | had to
take it in my hands to do so. immedl-
ately returned 1t to the person who
handed it to me. and this is my entire
and only connection with it. Chief of
Police Armstrong is most certainly mis-
taken in his statement that he got the
letter from me.'
At the conclusion of the argument
Commissioner Hinsdale rendered his de.
"These four defendants are
charged with an Otfense against
two sections of the law re-
lating to conspiracy, and the taking
and retaining OF letter belonging to
another. 1t Is shown by the evidence
that letter did come to the city hall.
the envelope of which was addressed to
the ''Poiice Matron," but the letter
itself was addressed to Mrs. LiKens.
Mrs. Dwyer, as one of the matruus,
had perfect right to open and read
this letter, but should have at once de-
livered Ii to the person to whom it was
addressed. instead OF taking 1t to the
chief OF police.
ut has not been clearly shown that
there was conspiracy between these
defendants to iujure Mrs. Likens, but
the retaining and withholding of the
letter from her was clearly violation
of the law. 81
"While Gov. Waite read the letter and
had 1t brought to his office, he could not
help this, and the evidence against him
Is so doubtful as to the fact that he had
anything to do with retaining the letter
from Mrs. Likens that l cannot consider
him guilty Of any offense against the
law.
1.-The other defendants, however, re-
tained the letter for period of time,
and evidently used Its contents to In
jure Mrs. Liken's character. So far as
the defendants Armstrong, Dwyer and
Mullins are concerned, will hold them
to the United States grand jury in the
sum OF $500, and the defendant Waite is
hereby discharged"

ENTIRE TRAIN DITCHED.
West Michigan Flyer Wrecked
Engineer and Fireman Killed.

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, Aug. S1.-The
Chicago q Western Michigan fast
train known as the 'resort flyer"
which left here for Petosky at 1880 this
morning, was wrecked twelve miles
south Ut here by running into herd of
cattle. The engine was overturned,
and the entire train ditched except the
parIor car, which remained OH the track.
Fireman John Kolb, of this city, was
instantly killed, crushed under the
engine, and Engineer John S. Patterson
was so badly injured that he died this
evening after being brought to this city.
One passenger, a Mrs. Dockery, resi-
dence unknown, was slightly injured.
There were few passengers OH the
train. Its western and southern con-
nectiOns here were late, and 1t was sent
out without them. Passengers from

thus missed the wrecked train.

The matter that aroused the latent
current of the convention was one of
personal nature, and related to propo-
sitlon to censure John l.. Townley for
his political record. A sharp debate
arose over the proposition to condemn
his course. which drew out some re-
marks that were tinged with personal
tiles and finally resulted in Mr.. Town

FORT WAYNE, Ind. Aug. 31.-Mas-
cot, Flying Jib and Nancy Hanks have
been dethroned, and Robert stands
today the king of harness horses. The
great son of Hartford, driven by Ed
Geers. made the fastest mile ever paced
in harness. lowering the worlds record
of 2:04 to 2:03sl. In addition to three
events. the card contained three
specials. The track was in excellent
condition. and the weather was warm,
with light breeze, but not enough
to interfere with good work. Lady
Houk was the first to attempt to beat
her time Of 2:2919, and she clipped of
quarter of second, making 2:29A.
Then came Alix. The immense crowd
was deeply interested when Driver Nc
Dowell nodded to Starter Walker for
the word, and away went the little
mare at clipping rate, and without a
skip pulled in under the wire in her
record time. Fantasy, 2:071z. next
caused enthusiasm by pulling of
the half second and giving herself
new record of 2:07. Then came the
event of the day. Excitement was at a
fever heat when it was announced that
Robert would go. GeerS appeared con-
fident as he held the lines. and every-
body expected that he would equal his
record. yet hardly any one expected the
wonderful time. After about ten
minutes spent in warming him up
Geers scored down the track with a
running mate hanging OH his wheel,
but the silent man was not fully salts
fed. and the word was not given. Again
Geers scored down the track.and as they
neared the starters stand Robert J
was as steady as clock ami
Going Like the wind.
Geers nodded for tho word, Starter
Walker gave it, and Robert j shot for
ward like an express train. On to the
first quarter he sped In 500. Every
body watched the half, and when that
was passed IN l:Ol, then the nerves Of
5000 people were wrought up TO the
highest tension. Geers slowed up just
trifie, but when the three
quarter post was passed in 1855,
all were certain worlds record
would be broken. Geers again let the
great horse out, and as he swung into
the home stretch down nc came like the
wind and crossed the wire in 2:035z,
making the last quarter in just 80
seconds. The crowd was almost breath
less until the wire was crossed, and as
the time was caught by hundreds OF
watches one mighty shout rent the air.
and it was most enthusiastic demon-
stration that took place. Cheers were
given for Geers, for Robert j, for Haul
lin. his owner, and for the track.
