PROTEST. OF DiSTILLERS.
They Will Contest the Legality of h
New Tariff Law.

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-The Whisky Trust
to-day made the first move toward contest
ing the legality of the section of the new
tariff law which increases the tax on spirits
from 80 cents to s1.1O per gallon. There was
filed to-day in the Office of the collector a
protest against the law. A similar protest
was filed the day before in the office of the
collector Of internal revenue at Peoria. The
protest is not against the increase in the
tax but against the increased bonds which
the distillers are compelled TO give to Sc
cure the payment of the tax on the spirits
bonded before the new law went into ef-
feet. When the new law went into force
the trust and all the distillers in the coun-
try were under bonds to the full amount or
the whisky in the warehouses at the rate
of 90 cents per gallon. With the coming
in OF the new law the bonds expired and
their renewal at the rate OF N.lO became
necessary. To-day the new bonds for the
whisky In bond In Chicago were filed by
H. S. Taylor, the assistant general manager
for the Distilling and Cattle Feeding Com
pany here. At the same time Mr.. Taylor
fled the protest already spoken of, and a
copy of the document was sent to the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue at Washing
ton. The protest takes the position that
when whisky was made and put in bond
there was an implied contract with the
government at the 90-cent rate OF tax. This
Contract, the distillers claim, the govern
ment has no right to break, and the law
is for that reason invalid.

HARVEY BY ACCLAMATION.
There was but one nomination on the call
for candidates for Room 2. Lawson NJ.
Harvey was clearly a ~favorite, other can
didates being drawn. A motion that the
nomination be made by reclamation car
ried without a division, and the young at
torney received an unusual and highly
complimentary honor. There was a burst
or cheers for him when his smiling face
was seen in the gallery, but he responded
only with a gPatified wave of the hand.
The third contest needed three ballots to
tell the tale. The nominations were Vim
son Carter, George w. Stubs, Hezekiah
Daley and Alpheus H. Snow. The first
ballot Is given In a table on this page.
The convention received the announce
ment with cheers for Carter and counter
cheers for Daley. The call of the roll
showed the Second ward firm for Daley,

I'VE pledge the local nominees OF the
party to a clean and honest administration
of the offices with which they may be in
