Harrison county Democrats

The pow-wow was source of
amusement to Republicans and
of dissatisfaction to Democrats.
Several veterans. followers of
jefferson. engaged in a number
of lively tits. which rendered
the occasion more ridiculous than
sublime.
Our Democratic friends are
combative by nature, and their
instructive pugnacity was fully
gratitied on this occasion.
Colonel Ben Wilson came to the
defense of Cleveland, opposing
the clause in the resolutions
which condemned the latter for
issuing bonds in time OF peace.
Hon, Ira G. Post then warmly
defended the obnoxious clause
and the resolutions were adopted
without amendment. Severa
speakers denounced Sherman anc
Cleveland IN unmeasured terms
as two of a kind.
Hon. John j. Davis made {
vigorous speech in which he helt
that the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at a ratio of sixteel
to one would fail to bring relle
to the oppressed masses, bu
would precipitate a panic b,
causing all creditors TO Shin

from the decisions OF rhe Supreme Court
as to what are exactly municipal affairs. ;"
largely attended meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Non-Partsans
was held last evening. George K. Fitch
presided. Nearly all the me m bers of the
committee were present. The doors were
closed at the beginning of the proceed
ings and were kept closed until the end,
which was at late hour. About as the
committee were closing their discussion
Mayor-elect Phelan came in and some of
the points that had already been con-
sidered were gone over once more.
The entire evening was consu med in
talking over the charter. The Non-Par-
tisans are as eager as ever they were before
the general election to have some instru-
ment adopted for the government of the
City which shall be more in accordance
with their views than the much amended
and often construed consolidation act.
The real business of the evening was to
hear the report of the committee consist
ing of Frank ]. Sullivan, Joseph lie Bre-
ton, George *. Fitch and a. s. Hallidie.
who yesterday conferred with the Board
of Election Commissioners with the pur-
pose of urging that special election for
freeholders should be called at once. The
committee conferred with City Attorney
Creswell and Tax Collector Block, and
also with Garret McEnerney. Noone ex-
cepting the committee was adm tilted while
this report was made and during the sub
sequent discussion. No definite con-
clusion was reached. This was given out
upon authority at the hour of adjourn
ment.
From another source it was learned last
evening that City and County Attorney
Creswell conveyed the idea TO the COM
mittee who called upon him yesterday
that he considered the making of char
ter a matter of considerable difficulty, and
he believed that the proper way to go at
it, if it should prove to be advisable at this
time, would be to employ able counsel.
three lawyers of skill at least could be
satisfactorily employed to weigh, word by
word, and to consider the legal bearing OF
every proposed provision. Such skill
would guard against errors into which
laymen might possibly fall. He opposed
haste in the adoption of charter.

AMONG The LABOR UNIONS
There Is a Very Great Local
Demand for Good Shce-
makers.
Cigar.Makers to Pass Upon Union
constitutional Amendments-Coast
Seamen's Wages.

at the next meeting OF the Cigar-mak-
ers' Union action will be taken upon the
amendments to the constitution of the In
ternational Union. These changes were
recommended by the Cigar-makers' Con-
vention which met in Detroit on Septem-
Der %. They all relate to the benefit
fund. At present S. per week is paid in
sick benefits for thirteen weeks. The
amendment increases the time. The death
benefit for one year is $50; for five years
$1Oo; for fifteen years $3.50. and so on. The
proposed change is to two years instead OF
one, six years instead OF FIVE, etc. The de-
sire is to raise the out work benefit from
$5 week to Sc week for six weeks. An
other change is to provide that all men,
bers over so years of age and who are out
OF work shall be paid $3 per week indefi-
nitely. Ali the local cigar-makers' unions
in the United States and Canada will pass
upon the same propositions.
At the meeting OF the Pacific Coast
Shoemakers' Union last evening the re-
ports showed that the demand for shoe
makers in this City is larger than ever.
ALI of the factories are running full forces
Many styles of shoes, principally special
patterns, that were not made last year, are

secure the good men in other local iac-
! tories.

Damage Suit.

John Agar of Oakland Wins q Big
Damage Suit.
Judge Sewall of the Superior Court yes
terday handed down decision in the ca Sc
of Anton Clecak against Johr G. Agar,
executor OF the estate of Joseph Macdon-
ough, deceased. The complaint alleges
that Clecak and Peter Miocivich rented
the basement of the Macdonough block,
corner of Fourteenth street and Broad
way, Oakland, for ten years at $500 q
month; that after Macdonough's death
Agar endeavored to regain possession OF
the premises. and in this effort had the
plaintiff arrested for illegally selling liquor
after midnight; that he employed two
witnesses at $50 each to prove this charge,
employed an attorney, and secured the
revocation of plaintiffs license, causing
MIN to abandon the business, wherefore
he asked for $24, COO damages.
The attorney tor the defense interposed
a demurrer and on this the case was de-
cided.
Judge Sewall said that the actions oil
Agar. even if admitted to be true, were
performed in his individual capacity, and
not as executor of the estate. He added
1t would be unreasonable and oppressive tc
subject the heirs and devisees OF an estate to
liability ana loss Tor the personal t0rtS or al
executor, as TO which he is not required 10
give any security and for the commission oi
which his office of executor gave him no spe
cial opportunities.
Assuming, then, which very much doubt
that the acts com planned of would have been q
breach of the covenant for quiet enjoyment ol
the premises If performed by Macdonough,
do not think that the defendant is liable in his
capacity as executor for the damages occa

Judge Sewali therefore sustained the de
ra urrer and gave judgment for the defend

SATURDAYS CONVENTION.

Last Saturdays Republican conven
ton was a very satisfactory gathering.
Those who expected a big fight were
disappointed. It was a silver i've
ton, the silver element being in con-
troll. but the power was wisely and iu-
diciouly used, with a very happy result.
On all issues save that OF finance the
St. Louis platform was endorsed. The
currency plank in the St. Louis plat
form was r%epudiated, but in so doing
the convention did not loose sight of
the great issues of protection and reco-
procity. Silver vas simply declared
paramount. The few Mckinley men
who We're in the convention. submitted
gracefully, and bowed TO the great
principle which has ever governed Re-
publican conventions-that of majority
rule.
The endorsement of Charlie Hartman
was passed with ringing ~plaudits-
sweet mnsic to the ears Of the many
who believe in the sterling qualities
of MOntana's favorite son.
A strong ticket was placed in NOM
ination. The nominees are all men of
unblemished character and unoues-
toned ability. OF them, more amor.
