The Democratic State convention of
Minnesota was HELD at St. Paul on
Wednesday, when George l.. Becker, at
present State railroad commissioner, was

the American Protective Association
and all secret political organizations as
unpatriotic and un-American.
Three hundred of the leading Louisi-
ana sugar planters met in convention in
New Orleans Thursday and adopted
resolutions setting forth "that the white
people of Louisiana, and planters, for
many years had been loyal to the Demo-
cratic party, through victory and defeat,
but that the State had been betrayed
and blow struck at its chief industry
by that party that threatened its absolute
ruin, and that the nomination of pro-
lection candidates and their election had
become a necessity" 1t was decided to
meet again on the 18th of September,
when the plans of the sugar planters
will be perfected. 1t was also decided
to nominate candidate in the three
sugar districts, and to affiliate with the
Republicans.
The Wisconsin Democrats at Mil
waukee Thursday adopted u platform

sition of the Republican Senators, sup
ported by few recreant Democrats
and further, that "by the repeal of the
purchasing clause OF the Sherman law
the money of the country is restored to
q sound basis, and no proposed legis-
lation should be entertained which does
not provide that every dollar issued by
the government should be of equal
intrinsic and interchangeable value.

kniyes, and after battering down the
husband, Maison shot Mrs. Raes, the
revolver bullet entering near the heart.
She died in 10 minutes. The ruen fled
but were captured the following day.
The motive for the crime, it seems,
consisted in Mrs. RAGS possessing u
secret which the murderers feared she
would divulgc. This secret related to
an AnGrchistic plot which contemplated
blowing up the government buildings
in Canada.
At tho trial before Judge Slagle last
October, Maison admitted the shooting,
but claimed it was Gxcusable by reason
of self-defencc. DISTINGUISHED witnesses,
however, proved concusively other
wise, and the jury utter short delibera-
ton returned first degree verdict.
The case was carried to the supreme
court, which affirmed the Judgment of
the lower court. Then followed an
appeal to Governor Pattison, but he
declined to interfere in the execution of
the death sentence.
Breysse, Maison's companion, was
convicted of second degree murder and
is now undergoing 90 years sentence
in the Western Peniteutiary.

Champion Corbett and Pete Courtney of
Trenton, Have a six-round Bout Before
IA Kinstograph.
ORANGE, N. j., Sept. flames J.
Corbett, the worlds champion pugilist,
fought to finish a six-round battle
with Pete Courtney of Trenton, to-day,
at Edison's Laboratory, in front Of the
kinetoscope. Four-ounce gloves were
used. The managers of the kaleidoscope
Co., it is said, first tried to get John L..
Sullivan to spar, but, as he would have
charged $4,000 for his services, the
plan was given up. Corbett was then
engaged, he agreeing to stand before
any man for SIX rounds for $4,000.
An antagonist was found in Pete
Courtney, local pugiiist of some fame,
who has knocked out number of men.
But few persons were present. The
agreement with Courtney was that he
should receive $500, and $1,000 if he
stood six rounds without being knocked
out. Corbetts seconds were John Nc
Veay and Frank Belcher, while Court
ney was attended by John Tracy and
Edward Allen. W. A. Brady was time
keeper and John Eckhart referee. Cor
bGtt spared with his man during the
first five rounds, but in the sixth he
landed several hard blows, one of which
apparently knocked out Courtney, he
failing to respond 10 time.
