Teller for President.

COLUMBUS, O., June 3.-A conven-
ton of silver men was held this after.
noon in the Y. NJ. @. A. auditorium
for the purpose of electing delegates
to the ST. Louis silver convention next
month. There were not over twenty
delegates present. Gen. A. J. War.
ner of Marietta gave a history Of the;
movement for the Independent silver
convention and said that during the
past forty. eight hours he had been in
conference with Senators Jones Of
Nevada, Jones of Arkansas, Morgan
of Alabama, and other Senators and
that all were agreed on the propoI.
ton that the issue must be fought out
this year. 1t would be divulging no
secret, Gen. Warner said, to state
whom they looked upon as the com.
ing candidate in the event of the DEM
ocrats failing to come out for free sil-
yer. This man is Senator Henry N.
Teller of Colorado. Mr.. Teller was
satisfactory to all of the silver men
whom he had talked. Delegates and
alternates at large to the st. Louis
convention were selected. The slim
attendance today was explained by
the fact of the strong probability that
the Democrats will declare for free
coinage at the coming State conven-
ton,

PASSED By THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON, June 3 The senate
of the United States followed today
the example set yesterday oy the house
of representatives in passing. by vote
of 81 to >, the river and harbor bill
over the Presidents veto. The five
negative votes came from Democratic
senator. namely: Bate of Tennessee
Chiffon of Texas; Hill of New York
Smith of New Jersey and Villas OF
Wisconsin. The debate preceding the
vote occupied about four hours.
Speeches in favor Of overriding the
veto were made by Senators Vest,
Sherman, Pettigrew (Rep) of South
Dakota, Berry (Dem) of Arkansas,
Stewart (PopD of Nevada. Hawiey
Rep of Connecticut, and Butler
Pop of North Carolina.
Speeches in favor Of sustaining the
veto were made by Senators smith,
Villas, Bate and Hill-the latter intro.
ducing a joint resolution to amend
the Constitution by giving the Presl'
dent power to veto any item n an ap
preparation bill-a power which the
Constitution of the State of New York
gives TO the governor of that State:
Mr.. Pettigrew's speech characterized
the veto power as relic of the past
which had no place in a free govern
ment. He denounced the President
in severe terms, charging him with
an utter disregard of his sacred oath
of office, with overriding the laws, in.
fuencing congressman by the use OF
patronage, enriching his favorites at
the public expense, and in fact, per.
mitting no restraint upon his imperial
will. The vote was as follows:

ry, Brice, Burrows, Butler, Cannon,

There was a group Of more than 20
members of the house standing in the
space back of the Republican seats
while the vote was in progress. They
showed a very lively interest in the
matter and withdrew as soon as the
rsult of the vote was announced.

Hunting for q Flend.

The following story of fiendish as
sault is taken from Thursdays's issue
of the Lexington Dispatch:
1--WE have been informed by relia.
BILE and responsible person that fiend-
ish and brutal assault was made upon
the person of Mrs. Ben. Gunter, who
resides at the "Old Dave Kyzer place"
on the Augusta road near the place of
Mr.. George D. Hayes, on Monday af-
ternoon about 3 o'clock by strange
negro who had been seen by several
parties loaing about in the neighbor-
hood. Our informsn mt states that Mrs.
Gunter, with her hus band and two
other persons, had been at work in a
field some distance from the house,
and, complaining of being sick, was
told by her husband 10 60 home and
lie down. She started TO do so, and
on her way home, in passing an old
log house, she saw negro man sitting
beside it playing with d pistol. After
hailing her he caught herand scuilie
eusued. Whether he accomplished
his hellish purpose is not known as
the lady is very reticent about the mat
ter. As soon as it had become known
that the assault had been made the
neighbors Immediately organized and
started in pursuit of the fend, but up
to the time our informant left, the
search has been without success. If
caught, necktie party will probably
follow, during which he will dance in
the air at the end of plow line to the
tune of whistling bullets. He is de-
scribed as being a black burly negro,
about 51-2 feet high, heavily built,
thick lips, weighs about 165 pounds,
had on a white shirt but no coat nor
vest, and a cigarette hat. The citizens
should be on the lookout for such a
negro answering to the above descrip.
ton and arrest him."

CLEMSON, June 3 The regular an
nual inspection of the military de-
partment OF Clemson College was held
on last Saturday by Major E. A. Carl
ington, inspector general. This in
spection was one of the series of in
spections of the military organizations
which are regularly made every year
by order of the war department.
The inspection, which was held in
fatigue uniform, consisted of first, a
review of the regiment, which was
commanded by Capt. Ezra B. Fuller {;
the batallions being under the RESP Iect.
i've commands of Majors Blythe and
Shanklin. The review was followed
by thorough inspection of the arms
and equipments of the cadets, and the
instruments of the cadet band.
The battalions were then drilled sep
arately in the various movements of
the battalion drill, the battalions be-
ing afterwards broken up and the
companies separately drilled by their
respective captains. This completed
the field manoeuvres.
During the afternoon the Senior
class were examined by the inspector
general in theoretical military science.
This was followed with a signal drill,
which consisted of an original mes
sage started by Major Darlington, and
sent through several squads OF boys,
the message being delivered perfectly.
This closed the inspection.
While, of couse, Major Darlington
expressed no opinion as to the efficien-
cy of this corps, it is quite certain that
he was favorably impressed and pleas
ed with the manoeuvres.
The cadets here are put at dlsad-
vantage in these annual inspections
because they take place during the
first part of the scholastic year, while
at all the other colleges they occur
during the last half, most of these
colleges closing the year in June or
July, while Clemson College closes in
November.
Besides this large number of the
cadets are new, having entered the
College in February last, and having
drilled in ranks only few weeks, but
Notwithstanding these drawbacks the
inspection was highly satisfactory.
In order to remedy this trouble and
put Clemson on an equal footing with
the other military schools Capt. Full
er has requested Major Darlington to
get the the war department to change
the time for inspe ctlon, so as to con-
form to the school term.
Capt. Fuller has also succeeded in
getting an order from the war depart.
ment for two breech.loading rifled
guns of 3 2-10 inches calibre, and of
the latest pattern. They will be sent
as soon as the College makes the nec-
essary bond.
Major Gallington says this is the
largest corps of cadets that he has in
spected in his district, comprising
nine States, extending from Maryland
to Louisiana. The Mississippi College
comes next, with 21S cadets. Major
Darlington stayed with Capt. Fuller
while here. They are old friends,
having been at West Point together
twenty-three years ago, and having
served in the same regiment out in the
West.-News and Courier.

Oregon For Silver.

PORTLAND, Oregon, June Lowing
to the exceedingly slow count it Is
very difficult to forecast the result OF
today's election, but returns up to
this hour indicate that ex-Gov. Fen
mover will be elected mayor oil Port

the free silver candidate, leads North
rup, sound money, by about 5000 in
the Second Congressional district: In
the First Congressional district, Van
derburg, free silver, Populist, holds a
plurality of 500 over Tongue, Repub-

that Senator Mitchell will succeed
