sented. General ]. B. Weaver was tenn
porary chairman, and in an unusually
strong speech, for him, said the present
was the opportunity for the Populist party
to make itself an element in National al
fairs, when the Democratic party is losing
ground.
General Coxey of Ohio and National
Chairman Taubeneck of Illinois were on
the platform, and made speeches declar-
ing the time had come for Popuiism to as.
sert itself. They urged concentration OF
enort on the money question. Inc COM
mlttee on resolutions presented majority

follows:

convention be instructed to do all IN their
power to secure union of the reform forces
on common ticket and e platform embodylng
an fundamental principles OF the Omaha pat
iofm, with further resolution tavorlng Inc
INITIATIVE and referendum.
The minority reported:
We favor the adoption of the Omaha plat
form in full, with initiative and referendum
added.
The fight on platform was long and
vigorous. Weaver and his followers wanted
to unload the Omaha platform by the ma
Iority resolution because it had too many
things in it and drove away more people
than it brought into the party. The
minority opposed this and was defeated
overwhelmingly. The majority victory

TENNESSEE REP UBLICANS.
Delegates to the National Convention Are
Pledged to Mckinley.


NASHVILLE, TENN, April 22.-The
State Republican Convention met here
to-day in the hall of the House of Repre-
sentatives. 1t was one of the largest con-
ventions in the history of the party in this
State, and a great deal of enthusiasm was
manifested. The Mckinley men were
largely in the majority, but Reed and the
other candidates had respectable follow
ing The fight was over the selection OF
one of the delegates.at-large, b. Sanford,
who was opposed because OF his anti NC
klnley sentiments.
compromise was finally effected which
resulted in the election of Sanford by &C
clamation, after he had pledged himself to
carry out the instructions of the conven-
ton and vote for Mckinley. The other
delegates were H. Clay Evans, Ernest
Caldwell and James Jefferies. Then can
didates for the Chancery Court of Appeals
were nominated.
The platform adopted believes in an ad-
iustment of the tariff duties for the pur-
pose of meeting the requirements OF the
Government and furnishing adequate pro-
lection to American Industries, reneWs al
legiance to the doctrine of reciprocity and
unalterabIy opposes the free, unlimited
and independent coinage OF silver at the
ratio of 16 to /.
Mckinley was Endorsed for President
and the delegates to the convention were
instructed to cooperate with the friends
of the Ohio man in the temporary and
permanent organization of the National
Convention, and to vote for Mckinley
man as a member of the committee on
credentials from Tennessee.

President and the delegates were in
structed to use every honorable means to

PLIGHT OF A SACRAMENTO MAN,
Out of Employment, He Became a Bandit
to Find Sustennnce for His
Sick Wife.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, April 22.-In the
Callendine, Baker and Townsend robbery
case the entire day was consumed in the
taking of the testimony of witnesses on
the part of the prosecution. and the end is
not yet. All of this testimony has been,
in the main, corroborative of confession
made by Fred Townsend, one of the par
ticipants.
The most important witness to-day was
A. McClelland, night foreman of the street
railway car barn, who not only gave a
vivio description of the robbery of the car
shops, from the moment when the masked
men stepped into the Office until they left
with their loot, but also claimed to be
able to identify Callendine by his voice,
walk and gestures.
All the testimony so far has tended to
prove that Baker was led into the rob.
berry. not only by the persuasions of Cal
lendine, but through the fact that his
young wife, whom he very evidently wor-
SHIPPED, was sick at the time, and he was
without work or means to provide for her
the common necessities of life. In his
desperation he fell. Public sympathy is
with Mrs. Baker, who is conceded by all
to be noble little woman, loyal to her
husband in his trouble.

A. Bennett, bride of less than six weeks,
swore to complaint in Justice Dwyer's S
court Jast evening charging her husband,
George Bennett. with felonious conduct
with Mrs. Nellie Abbott.

would only return to her all would be for
given. She said that her husband had
been employed as clerk at the Albion Ho-
tel on the Alameda. They were married

of the first week Bennett had tired of his
wife and began going with other women.
About ten DAYS ago, Mrs. Bennett alleges,
he deserted her and went to San Francisco
with Mrs. Abbott. The young wife fol-
lowed the couple to San Francisco, but was
unable to locate them.

The post was in charge of Captain A. F.
Rief and Lieutenants B. T. Bailey and
A. w. Kennedy. They were enthusiastic

as purely American organization.
Three new members joined last evening.

ton in the State. 1t was announced that
the official paper, the Gazette, would not
be sold on Sunday, and that begging would
be done away with.

Alleges That They Allowed
Sums on Contracts in Ex.
cess of the Bids.
DEMANDS AN IMPEACHMENT
Chairman Greeninger Says the Re-
jecting of a Claim Caused
Halsey's Action.

SAN JOSE, CAL, April 22.-Edward
Halsey, expert for the Grand Jury of 1896
96, filed an accusation to-day against Su-
pervisors S. F. Aver, A. Greeninger,
George Elmer Rea and John Roll, and asks
that they be impeached. He accuses the
officials of illegally auditing claims and
allowing sums on contracts in excess of
bids. An order was issued by Judge Lori
gan citing the accused Supervisors to ap-
pear on May to answer the charges. A.
Greeninger, chairman of the Board of Su-
pervisors, stated in an interview that the
transactions of which Halsey complains
were thoroughly investigated by the last
Grand Jury, and the board was sustained
in every instance.
''The charges made by Halsey are
actuated by malice" said he. "He pre-
sented a claim of $3.50 for services rendered
the Grand Jury, part of which sum was
itemized as being due for legal services
AS we have no power to allow claim for
legal services we laid the bill over for fur.
ther consideration. This incensed Halsey,
who wanted the bill allowed Immediately.
That is not his only fancied grievance.
He has been endeavoring for over a year
to get the board to adopt an index, which
he claims as his own. The index is SO
complicated that no one but an expert can
understand it, and its adoption would
cost the county about $1,000, as
all entries in the Hall of Records
would have to be re-entered. We could
see no benefit to the county, and th ell E.
fore refused to accept it. If we had
thought Mr.. Halsey's interests superior to
those of the county there would have been
no charges"
Supervisor ]. S. selby is not included in
the accusation. When asked why he had
omitted one member of the board Halsey
replied that that was his business. The
truth of the matter is that Selby made a
motion that Halsey's claim be allowed,
but the motion received no second.

The Floor of the Big Pavilion
Covered With Vari.Colored
Ammunition.
TINY cHAR1oTEERs PARADE.
Little Tots Dressed as Romans Ride
in Floral Vehicles Drawn by
Knights in Helmets.

STOCKTON, CAL, April 22.-There was
much larger crowd at the floral carnival
tonight than witnessed the scene at the
agricultural pavilion last night, and on
the lower floor there was not standing
room outside the ropes OF evergreen that
separated the throng from the partici-
pants. Wherever it was possible fresh
flowers had taken the place of those used
for decoration last evening, and the entire
building was once more blaze of bloom.
The young ladies who participated last
night in the floral march repeated that
feature of the fete tonight. Queen Flora
once more led her retinue about the build
ing, and the Queen of Roses put her 300
pretty maidens through their evolutions
amid rounds of applause. The march
closed with shower oil roses. All of the
300 and odd misses besides being bedecked
with these flowers carried baskets and
bouquets of the beautiful blossoms, which
they threw high in the air ss the march
ended, making a veritable cascade of
multi-colored buds and blossoms descend
ing on the heads of the people.
The prettiest part of the programme to-
night was the chariot race. Two chariots,
one made entirely of red and yellow roses
and the other of pink and white roses,
were each draw by four little boys dressed
in Roman costumes a nd garlanded with
roses. Each chariot was preceded by a
band of little fellows in pink tights and
shining helmets and the charioteers we're
little girls-one the daughter of Henry
Adams and the OF her the daughter of W.
w. Westbay.
AS the floral chariots were drawn about
the racecourse formed by ring of beautiful
girls, all dressed in rose-trimmed gowns,
they were greeted by thunderous plaudits.
Around and around the big building they
went and as they passed showers of roses
fell upon them from all sides.
Later in the evening the battle of roses
was fought until the floor of the immense
structure was packed deep with beautiful
petals. 1t was finally cleared and the
pleasures of the dance were enjoyed until
midnight. A special musical programme
had been arranged and the closing night
of the carnival proved to be more enjoy
able than the first.
The Native Daughters have received
congratulations on all sides for the success
of their carnival and are so encouraged
that they have already decided to give one
on grander scale next year.

SEATTLE DIVORCE CASE.
Ex.Mayor Ronald Comes to the
Aid of Accused Mrs.
Dawson.
Sarcastic Questions Put to Two Wit.
nesses Who Deposed in the
Husbands Favor.

SEATTLE, WASH, April 22.-The Daw-
son divorce scandal will come up for final
hearing in Judge Hume s court within the
next thirty days, and the attorneys in the
case are just now trying to get ahead of
each other in the matter OF gathering evi-
dence and obtaining dispositions.
Yesterday the former nurse of Mrs.
Dawson made a statement in DR.. Daw-
sons favor. and this morning Will H.
Thompson and ex-Mayor J. T. Ronald
filed number of neutrality-suspicious. ad-
dressed to George P. Kinsey and his wife,
who live in California, and who are against
Mrs. Dawson in the present case. Thomp-
son and Ronald wax sarcastic in asking
the two witnesses questions, and they
make 1T a point to score the husband.
The latter has stated that Mrs. Dawson
on her visit to California had shocked him
on number of occasions when he met
her III the presence of his wife. Thomp-
son and Ronald go on the assumption that
klnsey is one of those men who is easily
shocked. They also put some questions
to Mrs. Kinsey which will likely make her
an answer TO them.
An attempt was made to show that
Kinsey had some personal spite against
Mrs. Dawson. Are you IN the habit" I"
he is asked, ''of making repeated visits to
ladies whose conduct shocks and makes
you ashamed?"
The witness is asked about his having
met Mrs. Dawson in Los Angeles on the
night of the fiesta when, while masked,
she threw her arms about his neck. Were
you unable to eXtricate yourself from the
EN- braces of Mrs. Dawson upon the street
on the occasion testified to by you? If so.
what assistance did you procure to enable
you to break her hold upon you?"
The witness is asked if he did not re-
ceive pay from DR.. Dawson for making the
deposition and if he did not change his
residence after making the affidavit, be-
cause he feared arrest on the charge of
false swearing. He is also asked if Mrs.
Dawson ever offered him any money to
swear in her favor.
The interrogatorles addressed to Mrs
Kinsey are many, and Messrs. Thompson
and Ronald ask the witness many ques-
tionS as to why she joined Mrs. Dawson in
so many wicked acts when she knew them
to be such. Mrs. Kinsey is asked about
the alleged trips which she says she and
Mrs. Dawson made with two young men
at Alameda. She is asked if she enjoyed
the trips, if sne saw anything wrong, and
if she did, why she continued to go out
with them, as admitted by her.
Mrs. Kinsev is asked If Mrs. Dawson
made her confidante and told her all her
secrets. or was she reticent? Messrs
Ronald and Thompson ask Mrs. Kinsey to
tell them what she means when she says
that she was inexperienced and "assum-
ing all which you have said in your affi-
davit to be true, did you not consider you
were acquiring considerable experience in
your association with Mrs. Dawson?''
