The Taylor Petition.
Several hundred signatures have
been obtained to the petition to which
allusion was made last week for the
pardon of Eugene S Taylor, undergoing
a life sentence at Charleston, Mass,
for the poisoning of his little son at
South Deerfield several years ago. The
petition is an outgrowth of the trial of
Taylor's wife last June for incendiar
ism. She was acquitted, but the de-
veiopments of the trial increased the
suspicious and sympathy for Taylor,
which has always been strong among
his old neighbors, though it appeared
at his trial that he tried to commit
suicide at the same time as the muir
der. So far as we can learn there is no
new evidence on which the petition is
based. Judge G G Conant at Green
field is his counsel.
Taylor who came from Wardsboro
once worked at the brickyard here.

are being circulated for him at both |

LEAVING CHICAGO
Nothing to Show That n Convention
Had Been Held.

Chicago, July 12.-The last expiring
echoes of the convention crowds were
hoard about the corridors of the hotels
TODAY. The first state delegation to leave
was New York which gave up its head
quarters at the Palmer house on Friday
night. and Pennsylvania followed snort
" aftervard. All of the remaining del
nyations departed on Saturday evening,
and with the exception of the national
committee headquarters, nothing was
left TODAY to indicate that there had been
any convention.
Even the sign of the sergeant-at-arm5
had been removed, although Colonel
Martin remained to finish up some mat
ters connected with the closing up Of
the convention. The silver headquarters
AT the sherman house were deserted. The
timetable committee, their work being
accomplished, disbanded and only those
who are members Of the national com
mittee remained over.
Hinrichsen, with his cohorts left Sat
urdav evening, as did also most of the
Virginia and South Carolina delegates.
Senator Tillman and the Carolinas and
Tennessee delegations stayed over until
this morning Arkansas left on Satur-
day evening.

n. l.. DEPOT UNDER Construction
BURNED TO THE GROUND
Citizens Are EnrnEed Over the Num-
Der of Fires RecentIy-In-
cendinrism Suspected.

Mssoua, Mont July 12.-The North
ern Pacific new depot, under construc-
ton, was burned to the ground today at
3:45 p. m, making the second time it
caught fire during the past three days.
The structure was being built by Hig
gins Brothers at a cost of $4,000, in or
der to enhance the value of several va
cant lots near the building. When com
peted it was to have been the property
of the Northern Pacific railway 1t was
built of brick and all completed but the
pastering and interior work. The win
dow frames and a carload of glass are
now at the Blackfoot Milling Company's
institution near Bonner ready to fit in
to the windows.
The fire caught on the ground floor,
and the building was soon mass of
flames. The fire chief, his assistant AMI
majority of the vo.uutcer ire depart
menl were ut the baseball park over j
mile away, when the fire broke out, and
they made mad rush for the city, but
upon their arrival they were unable to 10
anything.
The fire spread to the yard foreman's
office, burning it. With great difficulty
several cars on the sidetracks were
saved. No insurance on the depot, but
the loss is $4,000 The railroad office
was insured; loss $500.
The citizens are in a frenzy at the
number of recent fires, and loudly assert
! that some fire fend, or tiends, are the
! cause of the fires, particularly that OF
the building burned today. During the
past week six fires have been caused
| by some unknown hand in a radius OF
! three blocks in the vicinity of the new
depot Tie fire department are hand.-
capped on account of insufficient hose.
The excitement is a fever heat and if
| the guilty parties are found out the re-
! suits cannot be predicted.

HAVE NOT MADE UP THEIR MINDS
waiting to Learn what the PODu-
lists Will DO.

Rochester, N, Y, July 1.-THE Whit
ney-Hill party arrived at Buffalo at
o'clock this morning, and proceeded east
ward. They were quite as non-commtttal
as last night on the proposition whether
there would be a bolt. 1t is believed
their silence is caused by desire to first
know whether the populists will indorse
the platform and ticket. If they do, there
is some likelihood of a gold convention,
which will proclaim itself the democratic
national convention, on the ground that
the last sO-called one was controlled by
the populists, and declared for their ten
cts.
If the poulists do not join the demo-
Gratis, Hill and Whitney believe it will be
wise, through manifesto, to say to the
people just what the eastern gold men
believe will be the outcome of the cleo
ton.

Pensions and Territories.
Recognizing the just claim or deserv-
ing Union soldiers, we heartily indocse
the rule of the present commissioner of
pensions, that no names shall be arbitrar
lily dropped from the pension rolls, and
that the fact of enlistment and service
should be deemed conclusive evidence
against disease and disability before en-
lstment.
I'VE favor the admission of the terri
tories of New Mexico and Arizona into
the Union as states and we favor the
early admission of all the territories
having The necessary population and re-
sources to entitle them to statehood, and
while they remain territories, we hold
that the officials appointed to administer
the government of any territory, togeth-
er with the District of Columbia and
Alaska, should be bona tide residents ..
the territory or districts in which thelr
duties are to be performed. The demo-
cratic party believes in nome rule ana
that all public lands of the United States
should be appropriated to the establish
ment of free homes for American clu-
zens.
I'VE recommend that the territory of
Alaska be granted a delegate in congress
and that the general land and timber
laws of the United States be extended
to said territory.
I'VE extend our sympathy to the peo-
pie of Cuba in their heroic struggle FOR
liberty and independence.
The federal government should care

1--WE are opposed to life tenure in the
public service We favor appointments
based upon merits, fixed terms Of office
and such an administration Of the civil
service laws as will afford equal oppor-
| tunities to all citizens of ascertalnlng

we declare it to be the unwritten law
of this republic, established by the eN-
amples of the greatest and wisest OF

to have them made effective through

WITHDRAW LAND BILL CLAUSES

nCunced that the amendments offered by
Gerard Balfour to the Irish land bill, in
troduced in the house of commons April
IS, are to be withdrawn 1t is also stated
that the whole Of clause 10 will be dropped
in consequence of the attitude assumed
by w. II. Russell, member of parliament
for the south division of Tyrone. In sup
