TILLMAN ovERTHROWN.
Meaning of the Defeat of His Candi-
date for the

COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 9.-Complete re-
turns of the senatorial primary have not
been received, but there is no doubt of
Earles nomination over Evans by 5000
votes.
w. w. Ball. editor of the Charleston
Post, says: 'Earle's election is not vic
tory over the reformers. He could not have
been elected without reform votes 1t
means, however, the reassertion of the in
dependence and manhood of South Caro-.
1na's country votes. Tillman made per-
sonal fight for Evans. The result is
stinging, deadening blow to Tillman's per-
sonal bossism. 1t indicates moreover open
rebellion against and recognition of the
far-reaching and all-pervading rottenness
of the dispensary system. and involves its
certain and radical modification, with the
removal of the most Objectionable features,
including the metropolitan police system.
Tilimanism is not utterly destroyed. He
will remain an influential figure in the
State, but he is for the time knocked clean,
clear over the ropes. Evans is like the
man hit by cyclone-there amt no re-
mains. J"

Pennsylvania Democrats.

HARRISBURG, Pa. Sept. 9.--The work
of the Democratic State convention was
mapped out tonight at a meeting of the
State executive committee. Bryan and
Sewall will be indorsed and the Chicago
platform will be substituted for the Allen
town declaration of principles. Vacancies
on the ticket will be filled by advocates
of the free coinage of silver. The commit
tee has ignored the claims of Dwight M.
Lowrey, of Philadelphia, permanent chair
man of the Allentown gathering, to a right
to officiate in that capacity at tomorrow s
convention, and has selected Captain John
b. Keebabm, of Greensburg. for temporary
chairman. Samuel Dickson, of Phiadel-
phia, district elector, has filed his formal
withdrawal in the State Department This
makes ten vacancies on the ticket to be
filled by the convention.
The leaders of the gold element were en-
gagged until after midnight in the prepara-
ton of a strong protest against the reyo-
lutionary proceedings of the silver mln.
This will be signed by a committee on be-
half of the gold delegates and will be pre-
sented to the convention tomorrow.

New Jersey Popocrats.

TRENTON. N. j., Sept. 9.-The Demo-
cratic State convention met here to-day
and nominated presidential electors without
opposition. The platform indorses the plat
form and candidates of the Democratic ma
tional convention held at Chicago and
pledges earnest support of Bryan and Sew
all. 1t also alleges that the State offices
are being extravagantly administered by
the Republicans. The silver men were in
absolute control of the convention. A
noticeable feature the absence of the
old leaders. There very little friction.
Two three gold men had been elected
from townships in Essex county, but the
committee Of that county had refused them
credentials. The State committee contains
several members who are not hearty in
their support of the Chicago ticket and
platform, and the new committee was
given power to expel any member who is
lukewarn. The majority of the members
OF the committee are silver men.

WAGING HOPELESS WAR
SPAIN WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO
CONQUER CUBAN REBELS.
An English Correspondents View of
the Insurrectfon and It's Prob
able Outcome.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-The Times this morn
ing publishes a lengthy letter from its
Havana correspondent, dealing with the
state of affairs in Cuba, in the course of
which he says: Careful study for the past
four months convinces me that, despite
serious losses, the rebels are holding their
own against the troops. The wealthy agri-
cultural districts are completely under
rebel control, and the whole sympathy of
the islanders is with the rebels. Even
Havana, which more Spanish than any
other town or district. is permeated with
animosity towards Spanish rule, and is
honeycombed with intriguers on behalf of
the rebellion. 1t is quite false to call it a
color struggle. In the fighting ranks of
the insurgents the proportion is 20 per cent.
of whites to 30 per cent. of negroes. An
other fallacy is the rebel contention that
Spanish misrule originated the rebellion.
The crisis in the sugar trade was much
more formidable in fomenting the revolt.
The struggle is prolonged by the facility
with which the insurgents obtain ammuni-
tion and stores of all kinds from abroad
and from every town in Cuba under the
noses of the Spanish officials with impunity
the seizure of contraband being most rare.
1T is now too late to compromise by
granting reforms. The Cuban insurgents
would not now accept full autonomy as the
price of yielding their arms l say this ad-
visedly, after careful examination OF the
situation from all points of view. Spain
will be compelled to conquer or abandon
the island. This irreconciliable attitude of
the rebels is largely due to the wholesale
execution of rebels after summary trials.
These drastic measures only increase the
hatred Of Spain without deterring recruits
from joining the rebellion. Another rea-
son. is the hopeless prospect of any re-
hablitation of Cuban credit while the ISL
and is under Spanish dominion. Taxation
must be heavily increased to pay the bur-
dens of the war. Hence the people with
ed interests prefer the risk and uncer-
tainties of independence. couped with the
earnest hope that at no distant date Cuba
will become a State of the American
Union"

The Republicans have a new 6chema
by which they hope to control the cleo
tons. 1t is embodied in the follow
ing, which will be reported to the sem
ate Monday and Incorporated in the
bill providing for the manner of regis
tering voters. 1t will be remembered
that the bill mentioned fayors the APP
pointment of registry agents for each
county and precinct by the board Of
county commissioners:
The governor shall appoint a board
of three commissioners from the legal
voters of each county. whoser-duty it
shall be to appoint registry agents for
their respective counties. such board
to serve without compensation, not
more than two members of which shall
belong to one political party.
The members Of the board shall hold
their offices for the term of four years.
and until their successors are appoint
ed and qualified.
The adoption of this plan will give
the Republicans the control of all the
election machinery in the state. There
are severel counties which are Demo-
cratic and the county boards there
would have the selection of the regis
tratlon officers under the bill now pend
ing. But this proposes to take away
from them all authority and delegate
to the opposition all the power
Senator Allison said yesterday he
was heartily in favor of the plan. OF
course he is. So is every Republican.
Senator Snow denounces it is q scheme,
and such it appears to be. The major
ity in the legislature will doubtless
fight the measure to a. successful fin
ism. 1t will carry of course.
1t was suggested yesterday by a
member Of the minority that a bill he
introduced, having for a title the fol-
lowing: "An act to place all matters,
foreign and domestic, in the hands Of

thought of in its sections. 1t would

high speed mechanical power from

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM.

First-Conversion of steam power
from boiler into hydraulic power in
tanks.
Second-Conversio of hydraulic pow
err into mechanical power at the ny
draul'c cylinder-loss 10 per cent.
Thus we have a comparison of losses
in transmission that is altogether in
favor of the hydraulic machine.
AS regards the claimed additional
safety of this form of machinery over
any other, undoubtedly it has none
whatever. In this instance as in the
case of the horizontal hydraulic ma
chine, the total reliance against the
dropping of the elevator car, which is
the main contingency to be provided
against, must be insured by devices at
tached to the ropes or to the car itself.
and in proportion as such devices are
we'll designed, and especially carefully
and regularly looked after and kept in
condition, the elevator will be safe, but
there is absolutely nothing about the
general features CT the Sprague-Pratt
any more than any other form of
electric OR hydraulic elevator which can
justify the claim of an impossibility of
accident. In fact, such a claim can
only be made for the purpose of deceiv-
ing, as amy mechanic of common sense
will admit that no machinery ever has
been, and probably never will be con-
structed without liability to accident.

less than $500 per month for power
alone.
If said power were paid for on the
same pro rata at which the current for
electric lighting is furnished to con-
sumers, the cost would be about $162
per month, instead of $50.
This is on the basis of an average
of 3-70 horse power used for twelve
hours per day
Second-"The plan to use the ex-
haust steam for heating in case a hy-
draulic machine is put in would be ex-
pensive and Intellectual"
Seeing that the majority of the COM
mercial buildings in this city are, and
have been for a long time, utilizing the
exhaust steam from their elevators in
such manner, and have found it a
heavy economy, it is evident that Mr..
Geddes has learned so much in the
east that he has not had time to post
himself upon what is going on at home.
Is it also possible that Mr.. Geddes
is not aware that the steam plant in
the city and county building was so
designed and has so been installed that
the exhaust steam from the elevator
machinery can be turned into a heat
ing system and there be utilized with
out making a single change upon the
work already done there, oE,incurring
the cost of as much as 81 to carry out
such an arrangement?
Third-From Mr.. Geddes stating that
no special engineer is required to look
after the Sprague elevator, it is evil
dent that he has never had to do in
any shape or form with machinery
for if he had he would know that
whether steam power or electric ma
chinery is in question, it will need
some attention, and the more intelli-
gent and skilled that attention is, the
more satisfactory and economical will
be the working results.
Fourth-The statement that the
Sprague elevator is SO constructed that
accidents are impossible, is so palpably
only the echoed bombaSt of the sales
man or maker as to be beneath no
tice.
Fifth-As to the superior smoothness
of the electric machine, and especially
its better control I can only attribute
this statement to the same cause as
his statement concerning the cost of
utilizing the exhaust steam, viz: that
he has not taken the trouble to make
comparisons from what he can find at
home.
Sixth-"The Sprague elevator sys-
tenn obviates noise and dirt and en-
tails no expensive extras for auxiliary
connections
The only Interpretation that l can
put upon this is that Salt Lake dust
will refuse to settle upoN the Sprague
machine, and that it will run without
oil and therefore be always entirely
clean.
AS regards the auxiliary connections,
Mr.. Geddes will find out more about
these after he has paid for the con-
nections from the four electric COM
panies upon whom, no doubt. he will
rely for his current, and especially af-
ter providing some additional electric
motors TO suit the various Toitages of
said four companies.
seventh-"The depreciation is very
small"
This is certainly too funny for SER
ious attention. seeing that the first ma
chine was made about three or four
years ago. 1t would have looked bet
ter had Mr. Geddes said that the APP
probation is very great, for he could
then have advanced his own lively i'm
agination of the Sprague machine in
