GET TWO CONGREssMEN, TOO

Populist and Democratic parties in
New York state is the important result
Of a conference between representatives
of the two parties for active support of
the ticket to be named by the Demo-
cratic state convention and the POpu-
lists will be given representatives on
the electoral ticket and two congress-
men. The conference today was not a
lengthy one as the matter had been full
" discussed previously, as reported
exclusively by the Associated Press.
The Populists claim that they can
swing the electoral votes of the state
either way and are sure that their un-
ion with the Democratic party will re-
suit in Bryan and Sewal carrying
New York state by a large majority.
CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS.
Buffalo, N Y, Sept 16.-It was u 80
o'clock when Chairman Hinckley rap
ped the convention to order and an
nOunced that the state committee had
selected State Senator Thomas F. Grady
for temporary chairman Mr. Grady
addressed the convention for a period
of about 20 minutes. Beginning he
said: AS loyal representatives of Dem
OcratS of constituents, YOU have assem-
bled to again declare your faith in
Democratic principles, your respect for
Democratic authority and your conf
dence in Democratic success.
In this respect you differ from some
who were, for many years, associated
with you. using their profession of De
mOcracy as a mask under which to con-
political actions, and who are now
leagued with your political opponents
denOuncing Democratic principles de-
flying Democratic authority and aiding
in so far as they may to defeat the
Democratic candidates"
1T is, the speaker continued "a
sham Democracy which submits to the
will of the majority only when no sell
fish interests is affected or sacrificed
by so doing. 1t is a sham Democracy
which sets up the opinions of the few
as entitled to control because of the
wealth or culture or pedigree of those
by whom such opinions are held. 1t is
a sham Democracy which has for it's
purpose the undue enrichment of the
what his money earns for him, and the
consequent unjust impoverishment of
the citizen who depends upon what
his labor may be able to earn It is a
sham Democracy which yesterday ask
ed for a bimetallic standard upon
the single condition of an interna-
tiOnaI agreement and today confesses
that such declaration was but sub
terfuge with Which to deceive those
honestly favoring such standard and
that at this time it's purpose was to es-
tablish and maintain the supremacy Of
gold.'
Mr. Grady alluded to Governor Nc
Kinley as mOrtgaged candidate and
spurned the allegat ton that the Chicago
platform is nothing but a declaration
favoring Reputation. riot and ruin
He proceeded to argue the question
of free silver coinage from the bimetal-
lie standpoint Taking up the allie
cation that the Chicago platform means
a disturbance of existing conditions,

|. E. STAPLES RETURNS.
Very Enjoyable Winter-His
Party Returning BY Steamer
Flora Clark.

I. E. Staples arrived in the city
Sunday evening from his long
absence in the South, and his ap-
pearance endorses his claims that
his trip was pleasant one. He left
New Orleans on March q, and
remained in Chicago few days.
The balance of the party, consisting
of Mrs. Staples and children. Mr.. and
Mrs. WIN. Tubbs and child, Miss
May Staples. and the two men who
formed the "crew' ON the down.
river trip, left New Orleans on the
same day On the steamer Flora
Clark, which will come to Hastings.
1t is not expected that the steamer
will reach Hastings before April 15.
Generally all the party enjoyed the
best of health. and found their sur
roundings very pleasant. As will
be remembered by the readers of the
Transcript, Mr.. Staples, in his
letters, did torn a very fav orable
opinion OF the country between
st. Louis and Vicksburg. From
the latter point south to New Or
leans. however, the country was
beautiful and the people prosperous.
The visitors were particularly
pleased with New Orleans. and their
stay of several weeks a that city was
an experience long to be remembered.
In that city there are very many
Northerners. and they have import
ant places in the public and CONNER
cial affairs of the city. An intense
personality enters into partisan
,, politics there, and personal quarreIs
are almost certain to follow any
activity in public affairs.

HORSES BURNED.
Three are Suffocated in P. La
fond's Barn, Which Burned
Sunday Night.

The barn Of Peter I4afOnd, located
in the rear OF his residence ON Bay
street. was discovered on fire between
the hours of II ana l O'Clock Sunday
night, and although the property
loss was not very large, the conse-
uuences of the fire were lAmentable,
for the reason that three horses
when occupied the barn were suffO-
Gated and the fourth one badly
burned before it could he gotten out.
The fire department arrived on the
scene ut about 12:45, less than ten
minutes after the discovery, and BY
prompt work with both the chemical
and hose compani' the fire was put
out before any serious damage was
done to the main parr Of the building.
The fire originated In Il shed nd
ditiOn built on the east side Of the
main barn, in which were team of
horses belonging to A. Swanke. pro-
prietor of the saloon in the Wilcox
building ON Broadway. To the first
parties that arrived at the fire it
was evident that they were dead, as
the interior was all ablaze. and they
turned their attention to saving the
team of Tkos. Bailey, which was
kept in the main part OF the building.
1t was with difficulty that they were
secured alive. as they had to be
dragged out with ropes, and one of
them was 80 badly burned that 1t
had to he killed. The other was
also badly burned, but it will prob
ably recover.
The lire. in the opinion OF most
everyone, was OF incendiary origin,
although they are all in the dark as
to the object of the parties who set 1T.
There was no one in the barn who
had authority to he there, after 6
O'Clock in the evening, and they were
the owners Of the horses, and they
both claim that they carried no
lanterns or lighted cigars, or any
thing that would be liable to start a
fire, and if the fire had originated in
that way it would undoubtedly have
occurred several hours before it did,
as it would not be likely to
smolder nearly seven hours, the
time that elapsed between the
time they were at the barn in the
evening and when the fire was dis
covered. Suspicion is not directed
against anyone, although two men
were seen in that vicinity by Alfred
Kellar young man boarding with
Mr.. LaFond, when he was returning
home, Just a short time before the
fire was discovered. He took no
particular notice of the men. and Is
unable to give description of them.
The loss on the barn is estimated
by Mr.. La Fond to be about 500,
and the loss of the horses and har-
neas that were burned will bring the
total up to about $500, without any
insurance on either building or con-
tents.
