Pittsburgh, Pa, May 29.-At 1890 p.
m. Thursday the prohibition national
convention nominated Hon. Joshua
lowering. of Maryland, for president OF
the United States, and Hon. Hale John
son, of Illinois, for vice president
The faction known as the '.broad-

organized the national party" They
placed the following ticket in the field:
For president, G. Il. Bentley, of Ne

The substitute offered by Mr.. Patton,
Of Illinois, for the majority and minor
ity reports of the committee on plat
form was adopted amid great confusion
and is the sole platform of the party.
Its full text is as follows
The prohibition party in national con-
vention assembled, declares it's firm con-
viction that the manufacture expectation,
importation and sale of alcoholic beverages
has produced such social, commercial, in
dustrial and political wrongs, and is now
threatening the perpetuity of all our social
and political institutions, that the suppress
sion of the same by national party, or
ganized therefor, is the greatest object to
be accomplished by the voters Of our coun-
try; is Of such Importance that 1t, of right,
ought to control the political action of ali
our patriotic citizens until such suppress
sion IS accomplished. The urgency of this
cause demands the union without further
delay of all citizens who desire the prohi-
bition of the liquor traffic. Therefore, be It
Resolved, That we favor the legal pro-
hibition by state and national legislation
Of the manufacture, Importation, exporta-
ton, interstate transportation and sale of
alcoholic beverages.
THAT we declare our purpose to organize
and unite all the friends Of prohibition into
our party and in order to accomplish this
end we deem II but right to leave every
prohibitionist the freedom of his own con-
victions upon all other questions and trust
our representatives to take such action
upon other political questions as the
changes occasioned by prohibition and the
welfare of the whole people shall demand"

Popular Feeling Demands the Executions Of Z

Popular Feeling Demands tho Execution .of
Filibusterers.
MADRID, May II - There are evii-
dences of growing popular excitement
in Spain over the attitude Of the United
States government toward the question
of the fibusterers captured on board the
Competitor. The news of the capture
of the men was received with great sat
isfaction and rejoicing. It was felt to
be the first opportunity that had been
offered to make an example of those en-
gagged in feeding the insurrection. The
popular demand for their execution is
general and is likely to become yocifer-
GUS. Little account is taken of the
questions Of treaty Interpretation in
volved in the protest of the United
States government against the execu-
ton Of the sentences. The action Of
the United States is regarded rather as
an expression of sympathy with the in
surrection and there will be strong
popular clamor to disregard it. I'll.
Surprised at Uncle Sans Conduct.
Ell Liberal declares that the Spanish
government ought to have sent squad
ron to Cuba, in addition to arming all
the transatlantic steamships at it's dis
pOsal for that service It asserts that
the steamer Bermuda, belonging to the
Cuban insurgent committee, embarked
upon the Florida coast 10000 rifles, 6
pieces of artillery, 8 mitrailleuses, q
quantity of munitions of war and so
men, the majority of whom were gun
ners of the United States militia, for the
supply of the insurgent forces in Cuba.
This embarkation took place, Ell Liberal
says, in spite Of the protests of the Span
ish consul at Jacksonville against al
lowing it, and the Bermuda left without
difficulty Or obstruction, and, according
to the kilograms received from Captain
General Weyler, the expedition has al
ready landed. This report has created
a sensation in Madrid, and astonish-
ment is expressed by Ell Liberal at the
conduct Of the United States in the
matter.
"cyler Threatens to Resign.
All the comments Of the press mani
fest the deep impression made upon the
public mind by the action Of the United
States toward the sentence of the Com
petitor captives. A later dispatch from
Havana confirms the report that Cap
tain General Weyler has threatened to
resign unless the sentences are executed.
Senior Canovas del Castillo, the pre-
mier, being asked for an expression Of
his opinion regarding the matter, said
''The affair must be settled in accord
ance with the law and treaties.''

Captain General Weyler Cannot Proceed
as He Would Like to.
MADRID, May 12.-The Spanish pre-
mier, Senior Canovas del Castillo, and
the United States minister to Spain,
Mr.. Hannis Taylor, had a conference,
the result of which is not known. It is
reported that Captain General Weyler
has cabled the Spanish government that
it is impossible for him to proceed with
the war as he should, as the Spanish au-
thorities are every moment hampered
by the Irritating meddling of America
in Cuban AFFAIRS
It is understood that the United
States government has presented fresh
claims for heavy indemnities through
losses on sugar plantations belonging to
Americans which have been burned by
insurgents. It is expected that these
demands will lead to further complica-
tiOns.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-In the Com
petitor case it can be authoritatively
stated that at the request of the United
States the Spanish government will
postpone execution of the death SEN
fences upon American citizens until the
views of the United States respecting
the application to their cases of the
treaty of 1895 and the protocol of 1877
can be presented and considered.
The announcement of the postpone
ment Of the executions means means a
delay Of some weeks at least and that
the matter will be taken up by the
diplomatic representatives of the United
States and Spain and be made the sub
ject of the exchange of correspondence
on the Interpretation of the treaty pro-
visions between the two nations. Mean
while the effect will be to allay popular
excitement both here and in Spain.
Under the Treaty of 1895.
The action Of the state department in
insisting upon a retrial at least of the
American prisoners is evidently in an
swer to the contention of the court mar
tial that the Cushing protocol Of 1877
did not apply to the present case. The
court held that it applied only to Amer
lean citizens resident in Spain or the
Spanish dominions, and, as the captives
from the competitor were not in any
sense residents of Cuba, decided that
they could not claim any Of the privi-
leges accorded by the protocol In the
opinion of the state department., this
was an extremely narrow and iliberal
construction to place upon the protocol,
but while not accepting this construc-
ton, the department guarded against
an adverse decision on the protocol by
recurring to the ancient treaty Of 1895.
Gives Some Valuable Privileges.
The contention Of the state depart
ment is that irrespective of the Gushing
protocol of 1877 this treaty gives the
American prisoners certain privileges
that were withheld from them by the
Spanish court marshal Notably they
were obliged to rest their defense in the
hands of Spanish officer detailed for
the purpose and one in all probability
not particularly anxious to clear his
clients, and were prevented from select
ing their own counsel as guaranteed
by treaty. Also it is said that the pris-
oners were not accorded an opportunity
to procure testimony in their own behalf.
This is one of the privileges inseparable
from a lawful and regular conduct of
the prosecution.
Altogether the indications are that
the state department is preparing to
make a strong legal defense against the
execution of the death penalty in the
case of the American prisoners.

SPAIN BETWEEN TWO FIRES.

Populace Urging the Government on to
Support of Weyler.
LONDON, May 12.-The Daily News
says in an editorial regarding the cases
of the Competitor captives at Havana {:
'The serious news from Cuba places
the Spanish government between two
fires. It is difficult to see how either
side can recede. If the Spanish govern
ment sacrifices General Weyler, it will
probably have to be prepared to sacrifice
it's own life. Public opinion in Madrid
is hardly well enough informed to pro-
mote repetition of the vigorous case of
1878. The Spanish ought to distrust
their own natural ferocity in cases of
this sort. The butchery of the men of
the Virginius, which many of them ap-
plauded in 1878 as a fine and spirited
act, was received with horror through
out the world.
The Globe, commenting upon the Gu
ban situation, says: It is impossible not
to sympathize with the spanish minis.
try, suddenly called to choose between
the loss of Spain's best colony and a
war with great power European SYM
pathy will be wholly with Spain.
The St. James Gazette remarks ::
There are conditions in both the United
States and Spain which initiate against
peaceful settlement. Americans are
quite capable of doing more than talk
when Cuba and the lives of Americans
are concerned. 5 .s1
Senior Ganovas del Castillo will have
to consider the effect which a surrender
to the United States might have on the
stability of the government The min
istry might have to choose between a
rupture with the United States and q
revolution q home.

finish the State House building, COM
plete the corridors, and cupola. During
these hard times let us take q rest on
expending money for the erection and
completion of public buildings. We
would be pleased to see the State have
its own printing plant, where all kinds
OF public printing can be- done and the
profit remain With the State. Counties
could get their printing done more
cheaply than under the present system.
The bill could DO framed after the law
establishing the National Bureau OF
Printing. The State could then print
its own school books and furnish them
free to the districts. This public print

Ballot Law Amendments.

We notice some Of the papers Of the
State think there should be some
provision in the Australian ballot law
whereby q voter by one mark might
vote q straight" ticket. We think the
absence Of this 10 one Of the wise provi-
sions OF the present law. II man don't
know enough to know for whom he
wishes to vote he ought not vote at all.
In our humble opinion the so-called
independent voter is the veritsbls "salt
Of the EARTH" Let the ballot in this
respect remain as it is. Where two or
more parties join on all the candidates
on q ticket let lt 30 be stated at the head
of the column, as Peoples and Democrat,
and the names appear but once, but the
right Of no minority should be abridged
by refusing to permit their candidates
names TO appear on the official ballot.
The provision requiring fac stuptLs Of
the ballot to be printed in two county
papers is uselessly expensive one, all
the good OF which could be accomplished
by making the County Clerk and the
chairman Of central committee Of each
party In the county q beard % meet and
