The Indiana and the Texas.

A correspondent Of the Phila-
delphia Times says the guns OF
the battleship Indiana, the "pride
OF our navy" are too heavy for
her, and that the big ship is dis
appointment, and is unsatisfac-
tory. The same writer further
states that on the Indiana's recent
trial trip the firing Of the heavy
guns in the upper turret almost
blew of the head OF a gunner's
mate, who was in the sighting
tower OF the main turret, and
that it was found impossible to
operate the l3-inch guns in
broadside, because the shock OF
the discharge would unsettle, II 1t
did not entirely wreck, the upper
turrets.
Truly, these statements are in
striking contrast with the tremen-
dous putting the Indiana has re-
ceived from the northern press
ever since she was launched. We
do not wish the "pride Of our
navy" any harm, and sincerely
hope that the defects she has de-
veloped may be speedily remedied.
Yet we would suggest that until
that work shall have been &C
complished, it might be well for
our northern contemporaries to
stop picking" at the poor little
Texas, because she was constructed
at the Noriork hayward and her
engines we're built in Richmond,
and because she did not do what
no other bsttleship has ever yet
done, and that is, make a perfect
showing as to machinery from the
beginning. II the half Of what
the Philadelphia Times cores
pendent says regarding the In
diana is to be relied upon, her de-
fects are infinitely greater and in
finitely more serious than those OF
the Texas, and the latter would to.
day prove in an engagement much
more effective than her big sister,
built in a Philadelphia ship.yard.

CONVENTION AFTERMATH.

A Review of the PrOceedings-Ouney a
Mere Figurehead.
From the Houston Post,
AUSTIN, Texas, March 27.-A
maj or ity Of those who participated
in that remarkable travesty, yclept
republican state convention, which
dissolved here yesterday evening,
have folded their tents and
hied themselves away, but there
yet remains in the city consider
able number Of delegates who are
lacking OF the wherewith to get
home on and who in many in
stances haven't had square meal
for five days, let alone pillow to
lay their weary heads upon.
They are mostly "corn field mig
gers" who came to the convention
on promises they would be taken
care of and who were delivered in
blocks by their "chairmen" to
whichever faction paid for them
last and who were left; to shift for
themselves as best they could.
A deliberate effort was made
by Quincy to starve them out by
delaying work for three days, but
they stayed with him, although
their stomachs were empty and
their frames aching and they out.
voted him two to one when the
showdown came, although he re-
fused to declare the result correct
ly. Now that the excitement is
over the reaction has set in and
they have begun to figure on how
they are going to get home. They
are turning to the Mckinley
managers for help, and those who
fail to get consolation from that
quarter are appealing to every
democratic politician they run
across.
1t would be natural to suppose
that the experience Of the past few
days should have an effect upon
these unfortunate negroes, and
that it would open their eyes to
the fact that the republican lead
ers look upon them as only so
much merchandise, but logical
conclusions can not be drawn with
regard to them, and it would be
safe to wager that were the con-
vention to be repeated next week
they would be right back here
ready to applaud the same old
spread eagle speakers and to yell
themselves hoarse whenever one
OF their bosses announced from the
platform that tive love the re-
publican party because it first
loved u.s."
1t will make no difference to the
rank and file of the ignorant re-
publican masses of Texas that al
though the McKinleyltes had GAL
OF the 100 votes in yesterdays con-
vention Quincy bulldozed them out
of the organization. 1t will be all
same to the bulk of the black
cohorts, although zone niger did
all the voting" as one of them ex-
pressed it disgustedly last night.
They have been fooled before and
they submit to being fooled again,
Cor they love to be fooled.
The general effect Of the course
pursued by Quincy in the conven-
ton will be bad upon the republi-
can organization in the state, how
ever.
He demonstrated that rotten
methods are still very much in
vogue in his party and people who
are looking for clean politics will
certainly hesitate about going
where he dominates TO look for it.

element which is ever ready to
place its neck beneath the foot OF
the Galveston boss that 1t may
get a hand out from the Federal
counter, Quincy had succeeded once
again in preventing those who
may be said to stand for whatever
there is OF decency in Texas re-
publican ranks from gaining con-
troll. By raising the race issue in
his canvass for the temporary
craftsmanship, and through the I'M
accountable lack Of foresight OF
the McKinleyites in putting up
such a VIGOROUSLY unpopular and

against him as Rosenthal, he sue.
ceeded in getting the gavel into
his hands and having it 60 abroad
that Quincy is still boss.
No other man than Quincy could
have been elected temporary chair
man by the Reed-Allison combine,
and his election was only made
possible by spreading the report
that Chairman Grant and the
other white Mckinley leaders had
said that it would not do to let
"nigger" preside over the conven-
ton, and and exciting race pre-
judice. Even then Quincy would
not have won had not Mcdonald,
Ferguson and Hancock been will
ing that he should win, and as the
price Of their acquiescence in his
nominal triumph they were given
all the good things In sight. They
watched him like hawks, however,
and forced him to serve them all
the committee chairmanships as
we'll as a majority OF the men,
bership Of said committees. They
had not the least faith in him and
he was but puppet in their
hands. When the showdown came
they stood on the platform behind
him and saw that he kept his
agreements, and prevented the
authorized McKinleyites from
dragging him from the platform.
Had Chairman Grant been willing
to dicker with Ferguson and Nc
Donald Quincy would not have
been in 1t.

At one time Quincy wanted him.
self to make a trade with Chair
man Grant, but the latter absolute
ly refused to to give him the tenn
porary craftsmanship, as that
would make 1t appear the Allison
ties had organized the convention
when they had hardly per cent
Of the representation: 1t was
after having failed to get terms
from Grant that Quincy started
the report that the white McKin-
leyites didn't want niger to
preside and that he had indignant
ly rejected a proposition from
them to divide the spoils. Yester-
day evening when the convention
was nearing close he mounted
a table and, having glanced around
and assured himself that there
were plenty Of policemen close by
to protect him, repeated the story
that Grant had given him an hour
to decide his terms and give up
the idea OF running for the tenn
porary craftsmanship. By way
Of peroratiou he said: 81 sent
him back word that Wright Gu
ney stands pat and that he could

made me, Quincy, such pro-
position ought to 60 to black
shop and get steel band made
for his head to keep 1t from swell
ing"
The words were scarcely out Of
his mouth when Chairman Grant,
who stood not far in front Of him,
yelled: "Who do you refer to-"
Then the boss turned craven.
Quincy, the bulldozer weakened.
The bad man who had been in the
habit of "cussing out" folks at pre-
vious conventions, lost his nerve
and replied mildly: "Never mind
l amt mentioning no Names" and
that's all the answer Grant could
get, although he repeated the ques-
ton three times. And report has
it that if Quincy had not laid his
hand down right there something
would have happened sure enough,
and he knew, hence his sudden
breakdown.
r. B. Hawley was at one time
seriously thought Of for temporary
chairman and Eugene Marshall
was slated for permanent chair
man, but they saw that they
couldn't viii and declined. They
saw that it was a clear case OF
bulldozing and they were afraid to
undertake 1t, so Quincy was put up
to do the work.
As an illustration Of the manner
in which the Cuneyites ran things
it Is stated today by them that al
though ID. G. Kolp was reported as
having been elected alternate dele
gate-at-large, it was really G. ID.
Keyer who had been chosen. They
charge that Kolp, who was secre-
tary, substituted his name for that
Of Keyer, in giving the list
OF delegates out to the
press. AS a matter Of fact, none
Of the Quincy delegates or alter
mates were even elected and not
over half dozen people ever heard
their names read out. The ques-
ton as to whether the convention
would elect them was never put.
Furthermore, when Quincy and his
crowd left they neglected to legal
ly adjourn the convention and
