TRIED TO ROB McLEOD'S STORE
The Burglar Tried to Bore In, But
big Builder" Made Him
dig Out.''

About two O'Clock Sunday morning Po-
liceman Hugglus IL making his rounds
among the business houses directed Rush
Ingram to 90 one way 10 see if things were
all right while he went the other. In few
minutes Rush called to Mr.. Higgins, and
the clatter of some one running was heard
some distance of. Rush went through
McLeods lot. and just before he reached the
end of the building he heard a noise. He
continued on until he reached the back
door, but no one was in sight. Upon e1-
animation he found where some one had
attempted to burglarize the store and he
at once gave the alarm, and when Mr..
Higgins reached the spot a closer exalDina-
ton was made and found that a burglar
had bored nineteen anger holes in the door
about the place where the bar is stretched
across the door on the inside. The place
was partially chizzlea oat, and had the fel-
low not been disturbed. IN a few minutes
be would have been on the inside, and it IS
ouite probable after getting what he
wanted lie would have set fire to put oat
his tracks So far no cline has been obtain
ed
The tools used came from r. A Whites
shop, and the fellow broke into the shop
by tearing off some weatber-boardins.
The approach OF big Budier" so,
frightened the burglar that he did not stop
to pick up his tools and he took his depart
ure with as much speed as possible.

SARATOGA, N. Y, August 2G-Before
the republicans began to assemble in con-
vention hall today 1t was anybody's race
in the contest for the gubernatorial nom-
inatton. Every one was asking For
whom will Mr.. Platt declare?" but that
gentleman said: Il will not interfere in any
manner. This is a free-for-all fight, and
l shall not declare for any candidate if
the convention lasts all summer
The convention was called to order at
II 40.
Mr. Sheard of Herkimer answered War
ner Miller's speech of last evening. He
denied that there had been any fraud at
the primaries. Balloting for governor
was then resumed.

was nominated for governor On today's
ond ballot
After 1t was 70 md that Mr.. Black was
nominated, Aldridges name was withdrawn
and Backs nomination made unanimous.

TOO MANY HEADQUARTERS
Democratic Complications From Chi
cAEO's Selection.

The unwisdom of the selection of Chi
cago as headquarters Of the democratic
national committee is Illustrated in the
visit of Senator Faulkner and Chairman
Stevens to Chairman Jones. With all the
facilities of communication that have been
order to reach a complete understanding
about matters vital to the campaign that
two or three days should be consumed
by the managers here in travelling and i'm
absence from the field of their labor.
May Operate Against Harmony.
With a many headed campaign organiza
ton and multiplicity of headquarters ii
is evidently going to be difficult to secure
perfect harmony and promptness of CO.
operation. Under present arrangements
there are three national committees. each
with chairman, managing the Bryan
campaign.
The democratic committee has neaduusr-
ters in Chicago and in Washington The
populists have headquarters in Washing
ton. The silver party have Headquarters
in Washington and expect to establish a
branch in Chicago. With three distinct
committees, three supreme heads and the
thousand miles of territory, il is obviously
going to be difficult to secure PROMPT CO.
operation.
1t is already apparent that there is need
of a very vigorous generalship-in-c hief
when there are several general officers in
the field whom il is necessary TO bring
into cooperation.

"WATCH DOG" HOLMAN.
he Stands a Good Show for Bcfng
Returned to Congress-.

returned to Congress-.
There Is strong probability that Will
liam Holman, the watchdog Of the treas
ury." will be elected to Congress this year
from Indiana. He was Unexpectedly de-
feated two years ago by James E. Wat
son, republican, who received 1895 votes
to H,4I1 votes for his opponeat. A popu-
list candidate received 7O3 votes and a
prohibitionist 554 votes When the state
was recently reAistricted by the republi-
cans with the hope of making a larger
number of districts certain for that party,
Mr.. Holman's old district was no: changed
much, and it Is now considered demo-
cratic. The republicans have put up their
strongest man against him, NJ. R. Sulzer
OF Madison, young German of high stand
ing and ability. He was formerly president
or the Indiana Lincoln League. The repub-
licans are hopeful of defeating Holman,
but the democrats declare there is no
chance to do this. Mr. Holman is making
strong free silver speeches. Besides the
democratic vote, it is said. he will get the
Fcpu.ist and prohibition vote.
Another once noted character in the
House was Joe Cheattle of the ninth dis
trict. He was elected to the House twice
as republican. Later he became a demo-
crat and an ardent free silver advocate.
he has been nominated by the democrats
OF the ninth district and indorsed by the
populists. His opponent Is Charles Loudis,
republican, of Delphi.
