SEED DEALERS SUE.
Claim That the Free distribution
Act Is UucuEStitution.ii.


Suit was filed this afternoon by D. n.
Ferry x Co. sesdcrowers, of Michigan.
against Secretary Of Agriculture. j Ster-
ling Morton; Assistant Secretary, {. W.
DabDey, and Special A gent HemGon, 10 en-
JON them from making any contract, or
carrying out any contract. for ttr purchase
seeds, bulbs, and plants for free distribu-
ton.
The complainant quotes from the act OF
Congress making the appropriation for
the year ending 1887, that section pro
viding for the provision and distribution,
for which the Secretary is authorized 20
spend not less than $4,000.
To facilitate the purchase of seed, they
say, the territory OF the United States was
divided into six sections, according to
agricultural and horticultural conditions.
To purchase tile seed bids were asked for
and were received from number of firms.
These were, referred to a committee
appointed by Secretary Morton, and recoiIi-
nIendations for the following awards We're
made: E. w. Wood & Sons, OF Richmond,
va; Uhlatborne Seed Company, Men,
phis, Tenn: John A. Sulzer. La Crosse,
Wis; w. AtIee Burpee, Philadelphia, and
L. L. May Co, St Paul, Minn.
The bill statesthit contra Is are about I'D
be made with these companies for the pur-
chase Of seeds. 1t then proceeds to show
that the carrying out OF it will cause that
campany an Irreparable injury.
The Ferrys' claim to have capital of
SSOO,OOO, and TO do one-fourth of the
United States. and they estimate that the
free distribution of seeds by the AgH-
cultural Department. will destroy one
seventh of the business Of the Ferry CoIn-
pany. and will diminish the sales by about
5000 900 packages of seed, makinga Iossof
$50 900 to them.
1t is charged that she act providing for
the free distribution of seed is uno enstitu-
tional and they therefore ask that the Sec
retary be enjoined from entering into any
contracts or paying out any part of the
100000.

In Its Support.

Boston, Mass. Sept. GAN outand-out
silver man for governor seems TO be al
most certain result OF the Democratic State
convention, which, is to meet here Thursday
and nominate full State ticket. George
Fred Williams, the recent but enthusiastic
free silver convert, appears to have an
overwhelming majority.
The Democracy OF the Ba y State will live
up to its reputation OF recent years OF !ik-
ing young men for standard bearers, and
put up the most prominent young Demo
crat OF the common wealth, eie Gov. W. T.
Russell having recently passed away. The
caucuses held few days ago throughout
the state showed that Williams had every
thing his own way.
The only real contest against him was in
Boston, where the city machine" which
is for sound money, came in collision with
the Bryan n-sewail- Williams Club. In what
ever ward such contest was held the
sound money forces were successful, but
many wards were left to the silver men,

hurries seward, babbling and rip

splendent, with an almost regal air,
commanding an impressive view Of

walk when fierce gales and drench-
