NO NOMINATIONS MADE.
New York National Democrats Adj
jOurn for q Week.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The city con-
vention of the National Democratic
party of the Greater New York, which
is led by William f. Grace, Francis M.
Scott and Maurice J. Power, was con-
vened tonight at Cooper union. The
Brooklyn delegates who had made a
''deaP' to endorse Van Wyck for
mayor, and the rest Of the Tammany
ticket was the discordant element at
the convention. The delegates from
across the East river were in favor of
indorsing Seth Low. According to the
'deal" Corporation Counsel Scott was
to get the regular Democratic nomina-
ton for judge of the supreme court.
At caucus of the Brooklyn dele
gates just prior to the calling of the
meeting, S. Percy Sturgis, in a bitter
speech, suggested that the delegation
from Kings bolt the convention should
it determine to support Tammany and
sustain the mandate of the triumVl-
rate. This was agreed.
John J. Fennel was chosen chair
man. The convention was addressed
of the pending campaign and in the in
terests of harmony he moved the con-
vention adjourn to meet again Oct. Z.
This was vigorously protested against
by the Brooklyn delegates. A vote
taken on the motion for adjournment
was announced by the chair to be 327
in favor and 273 against it. This was
followed by the utmost confusion, the
delegates for the borough of Manhat
tan, who were in the majority, out
shouting those from Kings. Finally
the convention was declared adjourned
until Oct. z.

city, and controls a very heavy vote.
1t had asked the nomination OF Mr..
Sohmer as the Democratic candidate,
ana, in it's disappointment at the re-
fusal of Tammany to indorse him, has
gone over to the other side. Of course,
no one can tell in advance how much
resolutions like this and the action of
a few leaders can count in swinging
the popular vote. If, however, as seems
not improbable, the German-American
union stands with the Citizens Union,
Platt may have to withdraw his candI-
date or face a certain defeat before
the campaign is closed. In the mean
time, every one who loves man and
who hates, as they deserve, corruption
and baseness masquerading under the
device of devotion to party, will wish
for him the success that he merits;
and for the venal and cowardly Repub-
Iicans, who have deserted him because
Platt bade them to, and their SYM
pathizers the country over, the drub-
bing which they both need and deserve.

HENRY GEORGE NAMED.
Candidate of the Democratic AIIi-
ance of Greater New York.

ance OF Greater New York.
NEW YORK, Oct 1.-At the city
convention of the Democratic alliance
of Greater New York held tonight,
Henry George was unanimously nomi-
mated for mayor. The nominating
speech was made by Charles Francis
Adams. The nomination was greeted
with enthusiastic applause. The plat
form in part follows:
The Democratic Alliance is a body of DEM
ocrats loyal to the policy of the great Demo-
cratic party. Our aim and object was to find
a basis for united action of all Democrats
in the pending municipal contest. We deemed
it essential that the Democratic party of
Greater New York shall reafirm the Chicago
ipai ownership and operation Of franchises,
and to the principle of direct employment in
stead of the contract system.
The action of the convention of Sept. 80
is clear to all men. Tammany and her allies
hide away the national banner of Democracy
and are ashamed to march under its folds.
The Benedict Arnolds of last fail, who de-
serted to the enemy on the eve of battle, are
to be restored to places of honor and friend
ship; the franchise grabbers are to retain
their clutch on the c:ty's highways by Tam
manys aid on the connivance, thus Tammany
and her allies separate themselves in princi-
pie and policy from the great Democratic
party of the nation, and must be looked upon
solely as a local body of unprincipled SDoi!S
hunters, unfit to sit in the councils of the
party whose doctrine they ignore and whose
honor they betfay.
NEW YORK, Oct 1.-The Tammany
county and borough conventions,
which were called to order tonight by
ex-Police Commissioner James ]. Mar
tin, after completing permanent Or
ganization, adjourned on leader John
C. Sheehan's motion to meet again on

A STRAW.

TC any one acquainted with the as
and Washington, D. c., and with his
perennial ambition to break into ma
tional politics, the announcement that
he is not to be considered a candidate
nificant Mr. Mclean magnanimously
rettres to leave the field open to Gen
A. J. Warner, of bimetallic fame;
which means, to the knowing, that Mr..
Mclean has read the signs Of the
times and is quite willing that the
other fellow should have all the empty
honors that are gcing. He prefers to
wait for something more substantial.
This is proof that, in McLean's opin-
ion, there is no possibility Of carrying
the state of Ohio this year on the sill
yer issue. He has been anxious1y
waiting this very opportunity. He has
spent barrels and oceans of money.
His lavish outlay at the time of the
Chicago convention last year was the
theme of universal comment. The
way in which he hired trains and halls
and dispensed universal hospitality
was worthy of baron of the feudal
ages. He was equally in evidence at
the Ohio state convention, and demon
strated his control of it as completely
and conclusively as Mr.. Hanna did of
the Republican gathering. At that
time it was fully understood and ac-
cepted that Mr.. Mclean was the par
tvs candidate for the senatorship
about to become vacant, and he did
not reject it. Indeed, he once more
opened his purse strings to keep his grip
on the machinery. and to be the willing
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-10-02

candidate of his party. Since that time
he has evidently become convinced that
there is no present chance of graf
flying his ambition.
This, indeed, is evident on the face
of the facts. 1t was shown last year
that the free coinage issue at the ratio
Of 16 to means defeat in Ohio. This
year the situation is still more COM
plicated and more hopeless for the adj
vance of that doctrine. Their own
forces are divided. The Populists. led
by Coxey, have their own ticket in the
field, and all of the ''middle-of-
readers will stand by it. The gold
Democrats have nominated state
ticket and are making a vigorous ana
aggressive campaign. The voters VINO
remain to follow Warner and the Sill
yer standard are not a match for the
united hosts of the Republicans. Mr.
Mclean sees it and gets out OF the
way in time. 1t will be small loss to
the country to be spared the possibility
of sending this plutocrat and machlne
boss politician to the United States
senate. The moral of the situation,
however, lies in the fact that the
placing of the free silver issue once
more at the front in Democratic coun-
ellis has so increased decentralization
and diminished numbers that even q
man as able, as powerful and as fully
blessed with financial resources as Mr..
Mclean does not wish to be men
toned as a candidate.

GOVERNORS WIFE ARRAIGNED.
On Trial in West Virginia Charged
With Forgery.

WHEELING, W. Va, Oct. 1.-The
case of Mrs. Atkinson, wife of Gov.
George Atkinson, on the charge of
forgery, in the circuit court of Gil
more county was begun today. The
case grows out of long standing dis
pute over the large estate Of her first
husband, Judge G. D. Camden On his
death the will in which left the estate
to his wife was contested by the
Judges grand children. The charge
was then made that she had forged the
will but the courts sustained the will.
Mrs Camden, however, agreed to a
compromise by which the contestants
were granted portion of the estate.
The dispute however, has been kept up
and a few weeks ago a Gilmer county
man to whom Mrs. Camden gave re-
ceipts for payments in business mat
ter. had her indicted for forging the
name of her husband to the receipt.
The Indictment was brought shortly
before Mrs. Camden's marriage to Gov.
Atkinson, almost on the eve of the
wedding. Her claim is that the papers
alleged to be forgeries are not such.
That she at the time, was managing
her invalid husbands business and
that all receipts and other papers were
signed for him by her. She also al
leges that the present prosecution is a
part of the effort of other claimants to
the estate to humiliate and perSecute
her.
Mrs Atkinson, who has been under
bonds for her appearance, came into
the court during the morning session
accompanied by the governor and her
attorney. Judge John Brannon. Judge
Brannon entered general demurrer
to the Indictment, which was at ece set
to argument and Judge Brannon
opened for the defense. His argument
admitted the execution of the papers
on the part of Mrs Atkinson, denying
that they are in any sense forgeries.
This evening r. G. Lyons argued for
the prosecution. The decision of Judge
Blizzard will be rendered tomorrow.
If the demurrer is overruled the trial

WHAT THE DISPATCH DOESN'T
KNOW.

What the Dispatch does not know
would make a very valuable reference
library 1t would include what 1t does
not know about the recognition given
by it's party in this state to the negro,
who is a ''man and a brother just be-
fore an election and only a 'blanked
Niger at all other times. When 1t
was confronted with facts that it did
not know, it shambled off to the woods
with an awkwardness of haste that
set the whole town on the laugh.
We have now to direct it's attention
to another thing it does not know
Whether it's article "eloquently con-
trasting' the conditions during the
months from July to September, 1893

vised; but do not believe that even the
Hanna bureau would have the hardi-
hood to group the commercial condi-
tions from July to September, 1898, un-
der the head of "siXty days under the
Wilson bill" The Dispatch evidently
does not know that not only was there
no Wilson bill in existence during
those months, but that congress was
not even in session, and that the Will

Aug. 2S, 1894. Our contemporary ap-

SHORT CHANGE WORKERS.
They Make Life Il burden for Rural
Visitors.

The short change men and other
grafters of various resources continue
to victimize passengers on the incom-
ing and outgoing trains. In fact the
con men are doing such thriving
business in this field, that the railroad
companies will probably be obliged to
carry special officers for the protection
of the passengers.
One of the victims yesterday was
August Nelson, of Minneapolis. Mr.
Nelson took the Omaha train at Hud-
son, which is due in st. Paul at 7:50 a.
M Two short change experts fell in
with August and f1im-f1ammed him out
of $40 in the way that has been so
often described. The two men left the
train at the East Seventh street sta
ton and, of course, made good their
escape.
Two grafters also reaped a harvest
of $50 after circulating among the pas
sengers on an Eastbound Omaha
train. They also ahghted from the
train at a small station and have not
been seen since.

STILL THEY MAY STRIKE.
Street Car Trouble at Chicago Not
Over Yet.

Over Yet.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The danger of
tie-up of the lines of the City Railway
company, is not over yet. A mass
meeting of street car employees was
held early today at Sixty-third and
unanimously adopted indorSing the or
ganization of a local branch of the
Amalgamated Association of Street
Car Employees of America.
The most important action taken,
however, was the giving by secret bal
lot, the power to the executive COM
mittee Of the organization to order q
strike without notice to the company.
The plan of the executive committee
to resent any further dismissal of
employees, was thus ratified, and future
action was referred to that COM
mittee.
1t was decided to notify Supt. Bowen,
of the Chicago City Railway company,
that the cars of the company on the
South side are now run by union men,
and that an injury to one is the con-
Germ Of all. 1t is stated that of the
1900 employees of the Chicago City
railway, not more than 800 have SO far
affiliated themselves with the union.
On behalf of the men it is officially
denied that a strike Sunday was de-
cided upon or that a strike under pres
ent circumstances is contemplated
At the suggestion of E. V. DebS the
aid of court injunctions will probably
be invoked by the union. The presf-
dent of the Social Democracy declares
the first opportunity has come for
labor to use the restraining order
which has been the weapon of capital
in the past. Interference with the
formation or maintenance of a union
of employees is forbidden by the Illinois
statutes, and it is proposed to make
a legal test with the street car COM
pany.

LEO'S LATEST ENCYCLECAL.
of 1t Published by the
Ereeman'S Journal

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The New York Free

lation of Pope Leo KILLS most recent en-
cyclical, of which the following is abstract:
ITO our venerable brothers, the patriachs,
primates archbishops, bishops ami other
dinaries in peace and communion with the
apostolic see: Venerable brothers, health and
apostolic benediction.
How important it is both for public and
private interests that devotion to the most
august Virgin Mary should be maintained
assiduously and spread with ever-growing
zeal will be understood by everybody who
reflects on the eminent position of honor and
glory in which God has placed Mary. From
all eternity he chose her to become mother
of the word who was to cloth himself in
human flesh.
ION the approach of the month of October
we were unwilling, venerable brothers, to fail
to write to you again this year; without
utmost ar5or we eXhort each one OF you
anew to merit grace for yourselves and for
the church militant by the recital of the
rosary. This species of prayer seems, in the
providence of God, to take on marvellous
growth at the end of this century, in order
that by fts means the tagging piety of the
faithful might be stimulated, as witness those
temples, those noted and renowned shrines
consecrated to the service of mother of God. ="

ON HIS WAY TO GEORGIA.
Walter Butler Goes South to Get the
Capitol Stone.

Work on the state capitol is pro-
crossing nicely; in fact, it is being
hurried along as fast as possible.
Walter Butler, of the Butler-Ryan
company, the contractors, is now on
his way to Georgia to superintend the
getting out of the marble. On his way
he stopped over at Providence, r. l..
for several days, to inspect the new
capitol being erected there, which is
constructed in a similar manner as
Minnesota's new state house-the base
of local granite, with superstructure of
Georgia marble. Mr.. Butler was ao-
companied by Architect Cass Gilbert,
and the two made study of the work
in progress there.

Ryan company have not yet been
signed but will be Immediately on Mr.
Buffers return. Charming, Seabury,

SPIDER WEES
stopped Communication Over 9
Great TcIegraph Line.

A short time ago the telegraph sys-
TEN of Japan was thrown into utter
confusion without apparent cause.
Every morning for several days, it was
impossible to get message over the
lire during the early hours. Then an
odd word here and there managed to
struggle along the bewitched wires,
arriving at some point for which, as
is was afterward discovered, it was not
intended.
After little more delay, messages
did get through, but this did not re-
lieve the strained nerves of the officials
for the kilograms were of the most be-
wildering nature
The first few kilograms of this des-
cription were sent to the addresses in
the belief that they were code messa-
ges. One man nearly went out of his
mind on receiveing one such reletages
mind on receiving one such telegram
and was only saved by discovering
that it came from a place where he had
no correspondent, and must, therefore,
be hoax or hlunder. AS the morning
wore on the messages became fairly
accurate. This continued until the
D11zzled officials became convinced that
some steps must be taken to ascertain
the cause, as the scared employees,
whose superstitious fears made them
dread to manipulate the instruments.
showed signs of revolt and the pubic
were complaining loudly.
A party of linemen, under the super
intendence of a Japanese expert, was
sent out to thoroughly overhaul the
wires on the trunk line. They exam
ined the line for a considerable dis
tance without discovering any cleW,
but one morning, when about h1ty
miles from Toxic, the expert saw

for the jumbling Of the messages later
