AN UNHoLY COMBINE.


WASHINGTON, December 2.-On Sat
urdsy night the Republican members
Of the House csucused and nominated
Thomas B. Reed for Speaker; Alex
snder Mcdowell, of Pennsylvania, for
Clerk; Benjamin Russell, Of Missouri,
for Sergesnt.at,srm William J. Glenn,
Of New York, for DoOrkeeper; Joseph
McElroy, Of Ohio, for Postmaster; and
Fl. N. Condor, of Michigan, for Chap.
lain.
The Democrats re-nominated Mr..
Crisp for Speaker.
The action Of the Republicans leaves
q very bitter feeling among Western
members, the outcome of which can
not now be more than cOnjectured. 1t
is asserted that the combine which has
carried everything before ii embraces
Messrs. Plstt, Quay and Reed, and is
denounced as an "unholy alliance"
which had for ulterior purposes the
control of the votes of New York and
Pennsylvania delegates to the Repub-
lican national convention in the in
terest of Mr.. Reed, and the movement
for Governor Morton was only play
in the game of political chess, likely,
however, to be checkmated by the
West and South.
The Mckinley men are very much
ratified over the events of tonight,
although they scored substantial vic
tory over the Allison men by the elec.
tion Of Gen. GroSvenor, of Ohio, as
temporary chairman over Gen. Hen
derson, of Iowa. Some claim that the
combine is committed against Nc
Kinley to the very core, and that he
has been practically driven out of the
race, but his friends do not concede
this, although they are not enthusias.
tic by any means. Just where Harri-
son comes in is an unknown quantity,
and that makes him dangerous as
an adversary In this game of President
making.
The Allison contingent are not max
ing any complaints, apparently resting
satisfied with the accepted fact that
he leads as the second choice of all the
contestants. The Republicans are act
ing upon the theory that there Is small
chance Of the election being thrown
into the House by the failure of their
candidate to receive the majority Of
the electoral college, but should that
event occur, the present House has
such large majority on the unit vote
of States, that the Republican nominee
could be chosen without difficulty. On
this hypothesis the Qusy-Platt men are
pushing things, determined to have
their own way without regard to the

BILE one for Crawling Masons. The
degree of Master was conferred on
Mr.. Frank Nicholson and the work
was witnessed by large number of
the local lodge, as well as by visitors
from other points. At 10: 80 the lodge
was called from labor to refreshment,
and all proceeded to the w. r. G..
hall where bounteous repast was pre-
pared by the members of the Eastern
Star. The viands were excellent and
each person was presented with fine
Rose, AS an appetizer. and from the
manner in which the delicacies were
disposed of, proved conclusively that
the Grayling ladies had not forgotten
their cunning, and were still keeping
up their reputation as entertainers.
After supper the members returned to
the hall. when the work was conclud-
ed and an hour was given to speech
making in the way Of compliments
from visitors from neighboring cities.

The blow has fallen.
1 The armed force Of the Republic
and the Royalists have met.
- Blood has been shed.
The time for action. for which 50
many have been calling, has ar-
rived, and In all instances the Re-
public has shown itself amply able

corners.
The Cabinet, the Marshal and
officials of the Citizens Guard xere
holding conference nearly III day
yesterday, at the police station.
Saturday evening rumnrs were
about that q blow was soon 70 Be
struck by the natives. These were
corroborated from several sources.
Arms were to be landed at Val
kiki and sscreted in the house Of
Henry Bertelmann, just beyond
the Campbell residence. These
supposedly came from . small
schooner which has been laying Of
the coast for sometime.
It is knossn that the lookout at
Diamond Hes had been appro-
ached to prevent his reporting the
vessel from whieh the arms were
to be landed.

that the attSek was TO be made at
80 O'Clock last night. Runners
of action from all sides, led the
officials 10 send Captain Parker
and posse of police with search
warrants, to the Bertelmann house
As they approached the house
they were met by volley frem the
guards about the house. The posse
had been joined by Charles L. Car
ter and James Castle and ether
residents of the place.
Immediately the shots were fired
the police dropped to the ground.
No one was injured on the first vol
ley, though Deputy n &rshal Brown
had narrow escape
The exact movements Of this
party In the scrimm sge which fol-
lowed it was imposslo ole to learn at
the time.
Reports at the police station were
conflicting.
Two were reported wounded, and
doctor and detachment of sol
diers were asked for Immediately
About 8 rs James Castle tSle-
phoned from Bertelmannas place
that the Government forces were in
possession. They wanted soldiers
and doctor; Charley Carter aud
two others had been shot; Carter
was shot in the leg; none seriously
injured.
While this was going on all was
activity at the police station.
The Cabinet and the Marshal
were in conference. Immediately
reports of the encounter came in
the Citizens Guard and volun-
teers were ordered out. The
members assembled promptly.
Those without arms were sent to
f. 0. Hall & Sons and supplied.
Squads assembled at their ap-
pointed places aud within half an
hour after the first call was made
the outskirts of the city were
under strong guard Reports from
the Palama district were TO the
effect that natives had been gath
ering there. This corroborated the
report that the two sections were
to act in unison, advancing from
either side of the city.

Democratic chickens are now com
ing home to roost. For years the par.
ty have been anxious for the admission
OF Utah, not having a doubt but it
would be democratic. Their desires
were finally accomplished. An ena-
bling act passed both houses and re-
ceived the signature of the president.
And, lol Utah comes in smiling with
a Republican Governor, Republican
Congressman and Republican legis.
lature that will send two Republicans
to the q. S. Senate. And Mary.
land, too. For over 80 years this par
ty has held absolute sway in Mary
land. And in order that the Repubs
might never get smell, by carrying
some county or town, extraordinary
powers were given to the governor.
he appoints all county treasures, local
school boards, liquor licence commits
sioners: police magistrates and justices
OF the peace, besides having the entire
election machinery in his hands,
he making all appointments of election
boards. Now, with Republican
Governor, this is iron in their souls
and red hot at that. Truly, chickens
will come home to roost. South Caro-.
lima should profit by the lesson.
The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1895-11-15

Dean Farrar, one of the most dis
tinguished living English divines, in a
recent Magazine article AYERS that man
kind does not fear God any more, and
that the various activities of the globe
are conducted in defiance of the will
OF the ruler of the universe. This is
bad-for somebody, and it is more than
likely that it is the eloquent dean.
The trouble is he has mistaken his
q" for the will of God. Creeds
are not commanding the respect once
given them but at no time in the
worlds history has the universal father
hood of God and the brotherhood Of
mankind received heartier belief
than at present. Growing intelligence
is begetting letter views. The brim
stone lake, it is true, has no longer 8
lodgment in the human mind bu
instead is the better idea that mer
should do right because it is right, anG
that whatsoever man sows that alsc
shall he reap.
