THE contest is not settled, and can alone
be determined by the delegates when they

Mr.. Manleys statement can but bear one
interpretation-that Speaker Reed lis out OF
the race. Mr.. Manley himself seems 10 rec

more significant than the semi-defant.
semi-sanguine tone of Mr. Manley's state
ment is the presence here of Hon. John o.
Patten. of Bath, Me-, editor of the Bath
Daily Times. He is here on very peculiar
mission for a Maine man. Within the pres
ent week, il is understood, his paper Will
come out strongly in favor OF the nominal
ton of ex-President Harrison at the com
ing ST. Louis convention. He was in the
city to consult with the Indiana mans man

up with Harrison hangs a tale. In the re-
cent Maine convention editor Patten ap-
peared in opposition 10 the slated pro-
gramme with a plank for the state plat
form declaring in favor of discriminating g
duties and clause similar TO that adopted
hy the Massachusetts convention in regard
to legislation in favor of American ship

referred to the State convention, 10 be held
in June at Bangor, when the State ticket
is to be nominated. Editor Patten mas
since protested at the weakness of the Reed
platform, and now declares that the Maine
man does not stand a ghost of show OF
getting the nomination. Harrison, he de-
clares has been tried and tested, and would
be a more agreeable candidate TO the East
than would Mckinley or Allison. Mr.. Pat
ten goes from mere to New York, and Will
endeavor to have talk with ex-senator

THE GIRL NOT TO BLAME
JUDGE BROWN SCORES THE MOTHER
OF WINNIE RUTHERFORD.
Turns the Child Over to Prosecutor
Hands-COnfusion in Thomas Case.

1t is seldom courts are called on to de-
fend children, especially young girls. from
the unnatural abuse of mothers and con-
sequently a good deal of interest was
aroused in the case of this kind disposed of
by acting Judge Brown, in the Circuit
Court, who refused to commit Winnie
Rutherford, fifteen years old. TO the Re
form School. A petition for her commit
ment was prosecuted by her mother Mary
b. Tyner. The case has occupied two or
three days. After hearing the last of the
evidence Judge Brown declared that he
would not send her to the Reform School,
and said that he hoped that she would be
able 10 find a good home. He suggested
that she had better keep away from the
home of her mother and step-father. He
hoped that she was good girl, but said
that ii would have taken woman of SUI
perior will and determination to withstand
the temptations which had been placed in
her way on account of the unnatural treat
ment she had received at home.
Judge Brown requested Prosecutor Wilt
sic, who volunteered to defend her, to take
charge and expressed considerable indigna-
ton toward the girls mother. He said in
open court that II the latter ever moleSted
the girl again she would be called on TO
answer in another court across the hall (the
Criminal Court.) While Judge Brown was
rendering his decision, the mother sat APP
parently unaffected, although tears rolled
down the girls face and several women
who were spectators, broke down complete
ly. The girl left the court room with one
a home, after thanking Judge Brown and
MIR. Wiltsie for what they had done.

BOARDS OF TRADE MEETING
Call Issued for a Conference i'm This
City Dec. 4.

The Board of Trade yesterday sent out
its letters calling the conference of boards
of trade of the Middle West on the money
question Dec. 1. The following letter was
sent to the commercial organizations of
Chicago. Cincinnati, Louisville. St. Louis,
Cleveland. Columbus, Toledo. Kansas City.
Detroit. Milwaukee, st. Paul. Des Mones,
Minneapolis, Peoria, Omaha and Grand
Rapids:
THE Board of Trade of the city of In
dianapOliS, indicated in the inclOSed
resolutions, adopted formally on the 18th
day of November, 1896. request your hon.
orable body TO send not exceeding three
delegates to a conference TO be held at
the city of Indianapolis, on the LIST day of
December. 1896, beginning at IL o'clock
a. m.
I'm behalf of the policy and purpose out
lined by these resolutions, permit us to
say that Ii is believed very earnestly that
a nonpartiSan committee or commission
composed of experts. judicially selected by
representative conference of business
men should be chosen at an early day, and
that this commission should be assigned
the duty of preparing a plan which can be
embodied in such legislation as will place
our monetary system on permanently
sound basis
The present grave juncture presents an
opportune occasion to the business men Of
ter. and ii is their duty, as we'll, to aid in
the solution Of matter which so inti-
mately concerns the stability of business.
The committee TO be ultimately selected
must be of such attachments and charac-
ter as not only to allay all suspicion of
any influence from class or sectional inter-
est. but IL must be of such fitness as 10 in
spire the confidence in the mind of fair
minded citizens of the Republic that its
work will be done for the permanent well
fare of the whole Nation.
I'VE have great confidence in the patriot
ism of the masses of the American people
and believe that they will recognize the
wisdom of looking 10 a commission of the
character above described for the best So
luton of the questions involved. and that
the people will await the results of the
committees labor before committing them
selves to any particular plan or scheme
hastily or immaturely devised.
I'm view of the grave character of the
situation which confronts us, and the great
Importance of the work to be achieved by
the committee TO be appointed it is obvi-
Gus that each commercial body, in choos-
ing its representatives to the proposed
conference. should nominate men whose
attachments. experience and character Will
satisfy the demands of the occasion.
please notify by telegram the under
signed Immediately upon the choice of your
delegates
