TURBULENT CONVENTIONS.
Two Sets of Delegates Chosen at Three
New York Conventions.

Two Sets of Delegates Chosen at Three
New York Conventions.
New YORK, March 19-In all the con-
gressional districts of this city with the
exception of the Sixteenth, the Republi-
cans last night held conventions for the
pCrpose of clecting delegates and alter
Mates to the national Republican conven-
tion. Turbulence and confusion were the
chief characteristics in the Twelfth and
Fifteenth districts. In the Twelfth it
frequently looked as if only the presence
OF a squad of policemen prevented u scene
OF personal encounter between the oppos-
ing factions favoring Morton and Mc<in-
ley as presidential candidates The Nc
kinleyitcs were defeated but held an op-
position convention in the gallery and
elected their own delegates In conse-
quence of this action there will be con
test before the national assembly.
A wild scene Of riot and disorder marked
the proceedings of the Fifteenth district
convention. Over a thousand excited men
cheered, hooted and yelled at each other,
though the number of accredited delegates
was only 594 The fun began when w. b.
Spooncr, an anti-Platt man, nominated S.
G. Clinch as temporary chairman. Pan
demonium broke loose, and every one in
the hall made rush for the platform, and
one faction yelled defiance at the other.
Isaac H. Newman who had been delegated
by the state committee to call the conven-
tion, fought his way to the platform and
called James Degnan us temporary chair
man. Both Clinch and Degnan had gavels,
and both pounded for order, which did not
come until Police Inspector Cartwright
and hundred policemen had made sew
eral charges.
Then both sides made their temporary
organizations permanent, and the ballot
ing proceeded. The result was that there
were really two conventions held at the
same time. 1t is the first time that two
separate conventions have been held from
the same platform at the same time in the
history of politics in this city, and it will
have to be determined which faction is en-
titled to have their delegates seated when
the national convention meets at st.
Louis.
There was also split in the Thirteenth
district, two sets of delegates being elected.
Morton delegates were elected in all other
| districts

THE New York Recorder says Mr. Carlisle
and his friends begin to regard his boom with
great seriousness, and the fact that they do
is proof of the desperate situation in which
the Democratic party finds itself in the bust
ness of providing a candidate for President.
If Carlisle is a candidate Mr.. Cleveland can
not be, and the same may be said of any
other member of the Cabinet. 1t must be
that the Administration has selected the
Secretary Of the Treasury as the most avail
able man it has to offer the party and puts
him forward with its blessing and promise of
material support. If it is to be Mr.. Carlisle,
then, surely, the Republicans have no reason
to complain.

ATTORNEY WILHELM, of Pottsville has
got himself into hot water by writing letter
to Carbon county Judge, setting forth that
the writer is informed that the wife of the
Judge, had but recently fallen heir to a block
of stock of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company, and that His Honor had been,
prior to his elevation to the bench, the
Solicitor Of the appealing company, and that
the writer was further informed by members
of the Carbon County Bar and others that
Judge Craig would lean in his judgment in
favor of the company. Owing to these
alleged facts Mr.. Wilhelm requested Judge
Craig to vacate the bench and call in Judge
Rice to sit upon the case" The reading of
the letter created a sensation, and our own
William was scored in these words by Judge
Craig Mr., Wilhelm, you are pacticing at
this Bar by the courtesy of the court You
have not been regularly admitted to practice
in this court, and therefore ] cannot issue a
rule upon you TO show cause why you should
not be disbarred But the court now rules
that you will no longer be recognized in this
case or in any other case"

THE Senate was startled yesterday by an
unexpected storm Of sarcasm and invective
from Senator Vest, of Missouri, directed
against the President and members of the
Cabinet. A comparatively minor measure
was under consideration, but it brought Mr..
Vest to his feet for a speech bristling with
caustic personal references to the President
The Senator spoke of Mr.. Cleyeand's recent
speech in New York where, said Mr.. Vest
'he stood with the CHASTITY light of the hell
holes of the rum sellers of New York
blazing upon him. and cantingly said home
missions must be used to civilize and
christanize the West" At another point
the Senator declared that if our President
would pause in hunting ducks in South
Carolina and silver Democrats in Kentucky
long enough to go West he would find q
God-fearing self-respecting people. Mr.
Vests femarks came with such fiery enthus
asm, such picturesqueness of language anC
such unctuous humor that Senators ant
spectators Joined in frequent and Ions
continued bursts OF laughter.
