NEW OPPONENT FOR ALTGELD.
GEN. JOHN c. BLACK DECLINES TO
RUN FOR GOVERNOR.

Ex-COngressman Forman Takes His
Place on the state Ticket of the
National Dcmocracy-There Is
Some Bad Blood Between FOrman
and Altgeld, Assuring a Hot CAM
paign.
Chicago, Sept. 9.-Gen. John c. Black,
who is United States district attorney In
Chicago, sent his expected letter this
morning to the Illinois committee of the
rational democratic party, declining the
nomination of governor. which was given
him Aug. 25. The letter was read to the
estate central committee, at q meeting at
the Palmer house. and after a recess the
committee unanimously selected ex-Con-
gressman William S. Forman of East
st. Louis to make the race for governor.
Mr.. Forman was present, being a mem
Der of the committee, and his acceptance
was known in advance. Having already
been placed on the state ticket for the
office Of attorney general, Daniel V. Sam
uels of Chicago was nominated to fill
tire vacancy caused by Mr.. Forman's ele-
walton. This preserves the geographical
pdldnCG VI Tue ilthGN.
The committeeman said Mr.. Forman
would poll more votes than Gen. Black
could, and they would all be from demo-
Gratis, thus lessening Gov. Altgeld's
chances of election. ON account of the
recent exchange of open letters, bitterly
attacking each other, the campaign be-
tween Altgeld and Forman is expected to
be extremely lively.
In his letter Gen. Black intimates that
he was nominated while absent from the
state and without information as to the
situation. He adds:
Il am convinced by investigation that in
this state the election of governor lies be-
tween Messrs. Tanner and Altgeld. l am
further convinced. beyond a reasonable
doubt, that the only effect of the success
of my candidacy would be to diminish the
chances of one or the other of these two
gentlemen for election. Men differ in their
opinions as to whose chances would be
most seriously impaired; but in any event,
the whole effect of my candidacy, so far
as the election is concerned, would be
what l have stated above-namely, to di-
minish the chances of one or the other OF
the candidates. So believing, / feel con-
strained, highly as / prize the good opinion
of the gentlemen who placed me In nomi-
nation, to decline to be a candidate"

AN ADDRESS FROM DEDs.
Coercion of Railway Employees De-
- nounced by the A. II, u.

4 nOunced by the A. II. U.
Terre Haute, Ind, Sept. 9.-The dirac-
tors of the American Railway Union TO-
night issued am address to all members of
the American Railway Union and to all
railway employees In the United States
denouncing the coercion OF railway en-
ployes to join Mckinley sound money
clubs, and calling on all wage-earners to
vote for Bryan. The address is signed
by Engene V. Debs, James Hogan, syi-
vester Kelyher, William e. Burns, r. NJ.
Goodwin and NJ. ]. Elliott.
The address says the coercion practiced
is of monstrous Importance, describes
the mthods practiced as astounding"
says the round-houses, depots and shops
have temporarily been converted into po-
litical wigwams, and that employees are
intimidated to join these gold standard
clubs by the railway managers.
I'VE know of many instances" con-
tinues the address, where employees are
plainly given to understand that their con-
tinuance in service depends upon their
supporting the gold standard candidates.
The country stands amazed at such bold
and shameless intimidation"
The address declares that 1t is not free
silver alone that has enraged the rail-
road Moloch, but the attack In the demo-
cratic platform on government by injunc-
tion. This, it says, is the milk in the
cocoanut.
The injunction history of the Toledo,
Ann Arbor and North Michigan road, and
the Jenkins injunction restraining em-
ployes from quitting the service of the
Northern Pacific because of reduction
of wages under penalty of being commit
ted to'jail, are reviewed. The election of
Mckinley. the circular says, would mean
the perpetuation OF government by lnjunc-
tion, the supremacy of the corporations
and the helpless subsection of employees.
The democratic platform is commended.
In conclusion, the address says
1--WE pledge our united and unwavering
support to William ]. Bryan, and appeal
to all railway employees and all working
men to join with us In rebuking corpo-
rate tyranny"
Judge Caldwelrs designation of Bryan's
nomination as the greatest since Lincoln
was heartily concurred in.

THE PRESIDENTS CLOSE FRIEND.
Secretary Lamont Declares For
Palmer and Buckner.

Washington, Sept. 9.-The following
telegram, addressed to-day by Hon. Dan
iel S. Lamont, Secretary of War explains
thoroughly his position on the political
issues now pending: .
washington, d. c., Sept 9, 1S96-Hon
William D. Bynum Chairman, ETC.: 1 re-
gret that 1 am unable to accept the invi-
tation of the chairman of your commit.
tee to be present at the notification of
Senator John M. Palmer and Gov. Simon
B. Buckner of their nomination by the
national democratic party for President
and Vice President of the United States.
THE outcome of the Indianapolis con-
ventlon in candidates and platform is in
spring to every democrat who refuses to
abandon the principles established by the
fathers and steadfastly maintained with
pride and honor, and who declines to
adopt the new and strange creed pro-
claimed in a. moment of delirium at Chi
cago and promptly recognized and rati-
fed as its own by the populist party at S..
Louis.
'I prefer to keep the old faith and re-
main q democrat and shall accordingly
cast my vote for Palmer and Buckner.

The Outcome of Differences in the
Indiana Democratic Committee.

The Outcome of Differences in the
Indiana Democratic Committee.
Indianapolis, Ind, Sept 9.-The demo-
cratic stae central committee will meet iu
this city tomorrow, Sept. 10, at which
time Hon Sterling R. Holt will tender his
resignation as chairman of the commit
tee. The announcement of this fact has
created quite a stir in political cir
cles. The cause of this step on the part
of Mr.. Holt was the appointment of Hon.
]. f. Mccullough as a member of the
election board Mr.. Mccullough was a
pronounced single standard man prior to
the Chicago convention, but since that
time has expressed himself heartily in
favor of the election of the entire demo-
cratic ticket. The free silver people crit
icised the appointment, and the governor
expressed himself as being opposed to
the appointment, which led to quite
controversy. In view of this fact, Mr..
Holt believes 1t to be to the best interest
of the party to at once resign in order to
restore harmony.

HILL SEEKING A COMPROMISE.


Such Is Believed to BE the Purpose
o. the Senator From New York.
New York, Sept. Ex-senator David b.
Hill did not go to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
last evening. as he intended but remained
at the Hotel Normandie in this city He
had an extended conference at the hotel
last evening with Chairman James d.
Hinckley of the state democratic commit
tee, ex-Lieut. Gov. William f. Sheehan
and his brother, John c. Sheehan, who has
recently been active In arranging for Tam
manys reception to William ]. Bryan
when he returns to this city.
Chairman Hinckley and Messrs Stancn-
field and Collins of Elmira, called upon
Senator Hill again this morning, and the
conferences upon the situation in this state
were resumed. 1t is reported that Sena-
tor Hill is appealing to the Tammany lead
ers and others, who are preparing to force
the Endorsement of Mr. Bryan and the Chi
cago platform upon the Buffalo convention
next week, and urging that compromise
course be adopted in order to prevent a
split in the democratic party in this state
Senator Hill sent word to the newspaper
men this morning that he had nothing
to say and it is impossible to verify the
rumor.
OF the delegates to the Buffalo conven-
ton who have so far been elected by the
district conventions those instructed for
silver largely outnumber those who arc
uninstructed, and II Is foregone con-
clusion that the regular democratic party
of this state will declare for the Chicago
ticket next Wednesday. Senator HilPs
course at Chicago in opposing the free sill
yer and other planks OF the platform
leads his sound money friends to hope
that he will maintain that position at Buff
falo.
The sound money democrats, who will
meet In Brooklyn on Sept. "a, say they will
nut up a state ticket unless that named
at Buffalo is acceptable to them. Sena-
tor Hill is believed to be endeavoring to
find some basis OF agreement between
the two factions.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Sept 9.-The article
which appeared in the New York Herald
this morning announcing the retirement
Of James w. Hlnkley from the chairman~
ship of the democratic state committee
was shown to Mr.. Hinkley this after
noon, and he acknowledged Its correct
ness. Referring to the same, the Eagle
will tomorrow say, editorially:
"There is doubtless more or less fifc-
ton among the democratic managers in
this state over the question which course
shall be taken at Buffalo, and the tndica-
tions are that both Senator Hill and Maj.
Hinkiey would turn the party to the sup
port of Palmer and Buckner instead Of
Bryan and Sewall II they could. At the
rate the tide is running, IL the convention

possible to accomplish this. But at this
time Senator Murphy and Tammany Hall
are in favor of the regular candidates.
