WALLER'S GRIEVANCES
THE Ex-C0NsUL REFUSES TO re-
MAIN SILENT, As ORDERED.
He Says He WINS Treated Shameful,
by the French, Despite Secretary
Olney to the Contrary.

KANSAS CITY, June 23-Before a large
audience of colored people. at which the
question OF negro emigration TO Africa was
under discussion, ex-Consui John r. Wal
Ter, OF Kansas, took occasion TO tell of his
troubles with the French government in
Madagascar. During the course of his re-
marks Mr.. Waller arraigned this govern
ment severely for its treatment of his case.
His sentiments brought forth misses and
groans.
My negro brethren said he, this gov
ernment has sealed my mouth. They have
said l must not talk. but / am going to
talk. When the history of this affair Is
known and when I tell ii I will have the
proofs and you will see how shamefully I
was treated And 1 want you to forget
me the individual. but remember that IL
was an American citizen who was treated
this way. 1t Is the principle or the thing.
Why. In our late war. nearly a million
people were slaughtered for a principle

lous things about my case was the state

steamship that carried him to France. or

Later Mr.. Deupree decided that he was
simply an interloper and left the commit

on the money question and Ii was on this
account that Major Menzies. sound
money man, was named for one of the del
egateS at large. This was a cause Of much
discussion last night and intensified the
feeling that the convention ought to as

that he represented bolting meeting, and
further admitted that he was not a dele

snrune a surprise upon the sound money
contingent of this county that simply par
alvzed their energies and left them in a
state of stupefaction until 1t was too late
for them to accomplish anything. On SUM-
day morning the Journal mentioned the
fact that the Governor had conceived the
idea of upsetting the cali of the State COM
mittee and having the district meetings
held yesterday afternoon instead of last
evening. in order that the credentials COM
mittees might be made up and the contest
i'm Marion county settled before the regular
meeting of the Seventh district to elect del

The Governor went at this in the
same industrious and energetic fashion
that Farmer Gowdy goes after things that
he wants on the Republican side of the
fence kilograms were sent to each of the
members of the regular" State committee
to come to the Governors Office immedi-
ately upon their arrival In the city. Eleven
of them answered the summons and were
wheedled and persuaded into giving their
promise that in case no other method could
be found In compromising affairs in Ma

morning and issue call requiring each dis
trict TO meet at clock In the afternoon
for the sole purpose of electing members

call that committee to begin its work at
4 O'Clock in the afternoon. 1t was repre-
sented to them that unless the contests In
this county were decided before the regu-

tremendous split and so much bad feeling
engendered tha. 1t would be impossible to
elect members OF the Legislature or a Con-
gressman to say nothing Of the Marion
county ticket. which, by the way. is thor

Accordingly. when the Governor learned

TELLER's POSITION.

Colorado Mans Name Will Not Be Pre-
sented to the Convention.
CHICAGO, July 2.-Delegates to the
convention who have arrived generally
appear averse to discussing the proba-
bility that Senator Teller will cut any
figure in the Democratic convention
The senator has number of personal
friends among the silver delegates who
have already arrived, and among them
are some who would not be averse to his
nomination for president. They feel,
however, that the conditions are not
yet ripe for the springing Of his name,
and say that it would be opposed to the
interests of both Senator Teller and the
silver cause to bring him to the frontal
this time, if at all. There are also q
number of Senator Teler's silver Re-
publican and Populist friends in the
city who are devoting themselves
more to
Watching the Course Of Events
than to any active work. The .Popu-
Lists who are here say openly that Mr..
Teller.is the only man the Democrats
can name that they will endorse The
silver Republicans are not soi pro-
nounced. They put !, the matter less
pointedly by saying that Teller is the
only man whose nomination would in
sure the Western states to- the Demo-
cratic ticket. ~ e &. 80
It is not the purpose Of the senator's
friends to have him placed in nomina-
ton as others will be- This course they
consider would be in bad form and con-
trary to Mr.. Teller's wishes. Theh
plan is not to make an aggressive cam
paign, but simply to be on the ground
to answer questions and to take advan.
tage Of any opportunity that may offer.

ST. PAUL, July 2.-Of the list dele
gates to>the Republican state conven-
ton the large majority were in their
seats in the big Auditorium in this city
when Tams Bixby. chairman of the
state committee, called the convention
to order little'past the noon hour. In
the absence Of Harris Richardson, the
secretary of the committee. the call was
read by Mr.. Bixby and temporary or
sganizdtion effected at once. Commit
tees were appointed on resolutions, Gre
dentials and rules and organization and
a recess taken for dinner and to allow
time for the committees to transact
such business as was before them.
After the recess work on the state
ticket was begun and will be pushed
rapidly.
Clough Will BE Renominated.
During the morning hours the dele
gates continued the work Of the night
before the convention, which consisted
of talk about candidates and caucusing
and canvassing the strength of the diff
ferent men, For several days it had
been apparent that the head of the
ticket would be the present governor,
and everybody conceded that David M.
Clough would succeed himself. How
ever, the friends of the governor were
as hard at work as if they were still un-
certain of the result, and the Clough
headquarters last night had workers
present in force. The most Of the work
was done, however, about the hotel lob
bies, and there was where the button
holing of delegates went on at lively
rate. The other candidates for COVER
