A very serious charge is made by a
Chicago man who was passenger on
the campnnia. He says that the Cam
panin and the st. Paul were racing and
that twelve hours before the ST. Paul
went ashore pilots came in sight, but
neither boat would stop to take on a

She would not have gone ashore. With

row escape of going ashore.
The captains OF these great steamers
haya denied that they were racing, but
the fact is too well established to be de-
MED successfully. Nobody believes

money claimed to be due her for re-
cent engagement She was to play
four weeks for 90 per cent OF the gross
receipts and a guarantee OF 5000 a
week.
She raised the managers hair by the
way she had herself billed. Her maiden
name was hyphensted with her mar
ried name. SO that she appeared as
Julia Marlew-Taber. This did not
strike the managerial fancy at all. AT
this point comes In the difference of
opinion which causes the suit The
actress sues for the amount due her I'M

The manager says there was a sub
sequent contract based on the fact that

The st. Louis convention will have at
least one case of contested seat OF
course It will come from the south. Al
most OF course there viii be more OF the
same kind from the same region. So
It is always.
In 1892 the committee on credentials
put in nearly three days trying to
straishten out southern contests. With
respect 10 some of them, the further
the investigation went the more 1t
seemed that the best thing to do would
be to leave the seats vacant Where
there was seeming regularity there was
violence, and where the proceedings
were peaceful they were irregular. Men
who had hardly a shadow OF claim
turned up with stacks of documents to
support their contention.
The meaning OF 1t all was that fac
tons and individuals were trying to get
in position to bag the federal patron
age.
where there is Republican party
founded on principle and blessed with
the vlgor of good health there is very
little of this kind OF thing. There are
In the cotton states as good Republic
cans as there are anywhere. but the
hopeiessness OF the cause in the past
has left little real vitality In the Repuo-
lican organization. and the desperate
scramble for outside recognition is one
n the results.
This Is as directly traceable to Demo-
cratic tactics. which have sileneed a
great vote in the south. as the waters of
river are to be traced to Its source.
