THE COMBINATION DEAL.


While the Allison men. with Quincy
at their head, foreswore all combines
Monday night and announced that they
would make the fight alone and single
handed if necessary, and they would not
give in to the Reed men on the Temporal
ry craftsmanship. This action on the part
of Quincy placed the situation in rather
complicated position yesterday and the
politicians were more than worried yes
terday morning when they began to work
to harmonic the Reed-Allison men, see
ing that was the only possible way TO
bring about any concerted action looking
to doing Mckinley. Quincy stood pat
on his proposition to be temporary chair
man and said that any proposition to
be considered by him must contain that
proviso. This the Reed men conceded
him, and last afternoon one of them
stated that he was sorry they had ever
antagonized him to the extent of making
him leave them. About o'clock last af-
ternoon the Reed men gave it out that
truce had been patched up between
them and the Allison factions and that
the result would be that there would be
an Allison-Reed delegation sent to St
Louis. This occasioned the colored gent.
~ to smile very knowingly, and they
| were not slow to say that Quincy was the
condensation of heated atmosphere
| Thus the situation stood at o'clock last
afternoon. AS to how it stands this
morning the reader can readily discern
| himself.

TuE TRAVIS DET,EGATION.

tee yesterday, they first decided to seat
the Mckinley Allison delegation, but
finally compromised the matter by ad-
hitting the Reed delegation as well.
Soon after the executive committee
had adjourned, the Mckinley crowd got
together TO come to some understanding
as to what course it would pursue in the
convention. 1t was decided to place
A. j. Rosenthal in nomination for tenn
porary chairman and to support John
Grant for delegate at large. Ed An
derson, DIR. Davis and DR.. Starner were
mentioned in the same connection. -,
Mckinley rally was held at Smith IS
opera house, at which Rosenthal spoke
and denounced the Reed-Allison COM
bine. He charged his failure to un1
seat Miles Crowley to Speaker Reed and
said that the committee on elections had
decided to unseat Crowley, but that Reed
and his followers forced it to change Its
program. He asked his hearers to re-
buke this outrage and informed them
that a vote for himself for temporary
chairman was a vote for Mckinley.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1896-03-26

from his side, as the Pops were feeling
safe enough and were not hunting up
people to divide sure thing with, but
he said that such proposition had come
indirectly from several Republicans, a
majority of whom were McKinleyites, but
he attached but little significance to it.
With two exceptions, Repubncan leaders
are opposed to fusion of any kind, or at
least they say they are.
When the executive committee met at
$3.50 o'clock it soon. became evident that
the Reed and Allison factions were not
so wide apart as might have been sup
posed because of their failure to agree
upon plan to divide up the organiza-
ton of the convention last evening.
About the first thing the committee did
was name 1: 80 as the hour at which the
convention should assemble, but as the
work for the committee to dispose of be-
gan to pile up the hour of meeting was
changed to s D. m.
1t was found that about 63 per cent of
the delegations on hand were contented
and it was decided that the delegations
which came from conventions wherein
their side had controlled the organization
should be permitted to participate in the
temporary organization of the State con-
vention and that the merits of contests
should be left to the committee on Gre
ueuIldlS 10 pass upon, anu TlSHC mere Is
where Quincy began to get in his work,
and where Ferguson. Mcdonald and the
other Reedites helped him play his hand.
Reedites and Allisonites never got the
worst of it on any question, but in many
instances the representation of counties
was divided between Reedites and ALI
sonites on the one hand, and McKinleyites
on the other, where the latter had prima
| facie case.
At $3.50 last afternoon the executive
committee adjourned and then it was
learned that Quincy had gained his first
| victory, whether he gained any more OIL
not. The committee, by vote of IS tC
| 10, had decided to name Quincy for tenn
porary chairman, and afterwards the
committee made the recommendation
unanimous. Cuneys opponent for this
position was A. j. Rosenthal, the Nc
Kinleyite. The committee also decided
to recommend J. II. Harris and d. G
Colp as secretaries of the temporary or
ganization. .'t
The Quincy ticket for delegates al
large was Cuney of Galveston, Henr!
Furgeson of 4 ort Bend, Makemson Of
Georgetown and Terrell of San. Antonio
They were in favor of either Eugene
Marshall of Dallas or H. B. Hawley Of
Galveston for permanent chairman. Tht
Reed men claimed last night that thu
committee stood 10 for Reed, IL for Nc
Kinley and for Allison. ...

Fisk's Operations.
From the Chicago Ttmes-Herald.

there father said TO him. I know it,
SEE Jim, but my business don't permit
my stopping at hotels. The answer
pleased father, Drive your horses into the

CHARMING rdz ; oUIRRELs.
A Young Girl In whose Lap They Come
and Sit.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
In Central park, New York city, a
girl was observed. some months ago,
going among the trees and even where
the public were prohibited from walk
ing. When the policemen warned her
that she must not go on the lawn, sha
laughed, and sometimes sung, and
seemed not to understand. But she
was so harmless and innocent with 1t
all that the park policemen relaxed
their rule, and let her go where she
wished.
A strange thing was noticed about
her; wherever she went the squirrels
and birds seemed to assemble. She
would go among the trees. and call or
whistle. and Immediately the squirrels
and the sparrows would come scamp
ering and fluttering about her.
The squirrels would come into her
lap. and the birds would light ON her
shoulders without fear. and yet she
was not seen to feed them. Indeed.
she did not seem TO have enough to
eat on her own account. She was
manifestly very poor.
She came to be known to the police
men and others as the little squirrel
charmer,"' for there seemed TO be
something mysterious in her power
over the animals, exercised as II was
without feeding or other indulgence.
She was regarded as not of sound
mind, and ere long. in fact, she began
to Annoy passersby In the park with
talk and strange actions; so that at
length 1t was necessary to take her be-
fore a magistrate TO examine into her
mental condition.
1t is not unusual to find insane per-
sons that have a certain influence over
animals not often possessed by those
in sound mind. The problem of animal
charming" is a peculiar one; for al
though 1t generally means no more
than care. patience and kindness in
dealing with dumb creatures, there are
undoubtedly persons that possess a
special gift of this kind, which renders
animals singularly submissive to them
almost without acquaintance.
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1896-01-04

HMl replied that this talk Of allowing
the public TO take bonds was for politi-
cal effect. 1t smacked of demagoguery.
Let the people come forward with their
gold. Let the gold come from any
source, and see how quickly II would be
accepted. Instead of offers there was
assertion and criticism. At this point
Hill paid a tribute to Secretary car
Isle. ''Imbecile. incompetent, dishon-
est, is what we hear" said Hill. John
@. Carlisle incompetent? One OF the
greatest public men this country ever
produced; John G. Carlisle dishonest
And yet 30 years in public and a poor
man to-day. living on his salary?
Hill said IL any one had suffered at
the hands of Carlisle II was himsefr
and his colleague. Murphy. They had
been ignored in the appointments OF
their own state, and yet Hill was
thankful that he was broad enough to
recognize the unhagging patriotism
and devotion of the secretary to the
country and his ability in meeting the
requirements of occasions.
Hoar spoke OF the calamitous condi-
lions. unparalleled in the history of
the United States, presented by the
present transactions of the executive.
He asked what had become of the his
tory and honesty and integrity of the
old democratic party.
A sharp colloquy occurred between
Hoar. Hill and Sherman as to the use
OF reserve funds for meeting current
expenses. Hill contending against the
others that the use of the treasury
funds was strictly within the law. An
other sharp passage occurred between
Hill and Hawley, when the latter re-
ferred to the prospects of a free silver
rider to the bond bill
Caffery sharply responded to Teller's
assertion that the administration was
incompetent or dishonest.
Teller arose to say that he would
make II Incompetent and dishonest"
Caffery also responded to Hoar's
criticisms on the decadence of the in
tegrity of the democrats.
AT least" said Caffery. 1.-The south
ern men did not add hypocricy to their
public actions in order to secure a
petty party advantage and indirectly
to stab the sound money cause they
pretended to espouse.

Elkins demanded a roll call and
there was a chorus of seconds to his

On the call the senate voted % to &c
