lam Harrity, who is here with his family,
showed no dismay over his defeat. He said
Il am not greatly disappointed at the out
come. When recall that during the cam
paign OF last year the names OF such Demo-
icrats as William c. Whitney and David p.
Hill were Kissed in meetings held in Tam
many Hall because of their refusal to ac-
Guiesce in ali of the declarations of the
Chicago convention 1 find it quite easy to
be philosophical over the situation. Ihe
action of the committee and of the con-
vention is TO be regarded as disapproval
OF my refusal to believe in the free and un~
limited coinage of silver and gold at the ra-
ito of l6 - l without waiting for the aid or
consent OF any other nation. But it will not
change my opinion in that respect. In my
Judgment the time is not far distant when
the Democracy of Pennsylvania will re-
cede from its present position 1t must do
so If II desires to win victories in Pennsyi-
yania."
As to his position in the Democratic COM
mittee Mr.. Harrity said: THAT will be "a
matter for the Democratic national COM
mittee itself, which is the only body author

the right of any claimant to membership in

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
PARAMOUNT, Ind, Aug. 31-There is
still much excitement and much speculation
as to what will be the outcome of the re-
cent confession made by w. c. Rush impli-
eating score of citizens in dynamiting a
saloon. The men accused are in a waiting
attitude and saying nothing. There is little
probability now that proceedings will be
commenced in court, as Henderson Oliver,
who had been retained attorney for Nor
ris, admitted to a newspaper man that
compromise might be arranged between
Luther Morris and the men who are
charged with wrecking his saloon. Mr..
Oliver stated that all he and those assoc
ciated with him wanted. as the case stands,
was to be reimbursed for the losses sus-
tanned. If his client is not reimbursed he
will talk of prosecution later A. M. Press
nall, whom Rush implicated enters en-
phauc denial to the charge. He says Rush's
attempt to implicate him is the result of re-
sentiment growing out of matters both of
business and political character. Rush
asked for credit at his store, which was re-
FUSED, and the former threatened to get
even. Rush is a radical Prohibitionist,
while Pressnall is a leader in Republican
circles, and this also caused dissensions.
instances are given which tend to show
that Rush has attempted to shoulder all the
sins in this county. In experience meet
iings last winter he admitted that he has

ton and gives his reasons for reaching this
decision. He criticiseS in emphatic language

and also pays his respects to the free-silver
Democrats, who have made him a target
or abuse, claiming that they have taken
advantage of his position, knowing that he
could not answer them, and charging them
with attempting to seek notoriety through
hurting epithets at him. He reiterates his
charge that Bryan had made every arrange
ment to enter the State in 1893 and make
speeches in behalf of the Populist who was
running for Governor against him and
gives additional evidence TO substantiate
his assertion. He speaks of Senator Daniel
as having presented in the Senate a resolu-
ton tndorStng Cleveland'S action regarding
the Chicago strike and yet with having
voted in the committee on resolutions in
the Chicago convention denouncing Cleve-
land for the very act which the senator

the military to prevent lynchings and calls
attention to the fact that although there
were Sixty-tWO lynchingS in the State from
1880 to 1894. there have only been two dur

has no apologies or regrets for his course
in politics and intimateS that if Bryan is

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.
Meeting of the National Executive
Committee at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-The first formal
meeting of the executive committee of the
National Republican League since the con-
vention at Detroit in July was held at the
Auditorium to-day. The following men,

Hayes, Ohio; ]. c. Napier, Tennessee: A.
M. Milan, Inuian Territory, and President
L. ]. Crawford, Kentucky.
Notwithstanding the fact that elections
are still some distance in the future, plan
of action was drawn up and agreed to
relative to the state elections in Mary
land, Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Iowa and
Massachusetts, this fall. After warm de-
bate it was also agreed that an attendance
of seven mep1bers at any regularly called
meeting of the executive committee will be
sufficient to constitute quorum to act for
the whole body.
Senator Thurston announced that the rep
resentatives of the league in Nebraska
would have everything in order for the next
convention in Omaha in June At that
time the transmississippi exposition will
open in Omaha and President Mckinley
viii set the machinery in motion. The ex-
act date of the convention was left for
Chairman L. J. Crawford to decide He
was instructed to make the date that on
which President Mckinley will visit the ex-
position, so that he may attend the gather
ing of young Republicans.
The financial discussion was given a SEN
6ational turn, 1t is said, by the threat Of
Secretary NJ. ]. Bowling to resign unless
satisfactory means for the maintenance of
the organization are provided. He was per-
susded to withdraw his resignation, but not

say anything about his effort to resign
but 1t was learned he wished to give up the
place because the league has forced upon
him the burden not only of getting along
without salary, but of bearing also the ex

WASHINGTON, Aug 31.-First Assistant
Postmaster General Perry S. Heath is
called upon to preside over an interesting
case involving civil-service principles. The
scene is laid in Louisville. When DR.. Baker
the new postmaster took hold he found on
the pay rolls as secretary to the post
master a Mrs. M. F. Wickliffe. The doctor
forwarded specimens of her work to the
department and asked for her dismissal on
grounds of inefficiency. Yesterday Mr..
Heath acquiesced in DR.. Bakers recon-
mendation and authorized him to declare
a vacancy For thirty-siX hours he has
been flooded with kilograms from Mrs.
Wickliffe and her friends protesting against
the action. Mrs Wicklilfe says she has
never received notice of charges, claiming
a right to trial under the Presidents latest
civil-service order and charging that the
real ground for her dismissal is the fact
that she is a niece of ex-senator Black
burn. She will have a trial, but the chances
for her reinstatement may be considered
nebulous. The case promises to be sensa-
tional from civil-service point of view.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Aug 31-Receiver
A A. Purman, of the Indiana Farmers
Savings and Loan Association, has mailed
to each stakeholder a classified statement
of the assets and liabilities of the associa-
condition, brought about entirely by the
transportation and willful waste of funds
by Carlos E. Rhoades the secretary. who
absconded and is now supposed to be in
Canada Rhoades was in at the organiza-
ton and owned a handsome residence on
East Berry street, in one of the fashionable
quarters of the city. He borrowed money
from the association to pay for the house
but after occupying it for a year had to
give 1t up and let the association take it,
He was prominent in religious affairs and
was leader of the choir in one of the prin-
cipal churches in this city During the last
presidential campaign he forced himself on
the Republican committee of this county
and insisted on making speeches in th9'
country schoolhouses in this congressional
district; but after making a few talks it
was found necessary to pun him off the
stump, as his work was proving a damage
to the cause.
About two years ago he secured divorce
from his wife, cruelty deserving her. and
While not actually compelling her to marry
another man, he brought the affair about
by introducing the young man to her and
Keeping him continually about the house
for a year before securing a divorce.
He married again within two months and
the former Mrs. RhoadeS married the
young man that Rhoades kept about the
house. All this rapidly lowered the stand
ing of the Rhoadeses in East Berry-street
society and he was soon compelled by os-
tracism and loss of property to seek less
pretentious residence quarters The secre-
tary left the city hurriedly one night a
month ago, and not the slightest trace has
been found of him. His wife left a few
days after and was followed by officers to
the home of relatives in Illinois, where she
has remained ever since Her mail is be-
yet to give any clew to his whereabouts,
so far as discovered. Rhoades's entire mis-
appropriation and money he took from the
association amounts to nearly $24, 600. Re
ceiver Purman is winding up the affairs of
the concern as rapidly as possible and his
published report gives the condition of af-
fairs in a nutshell. The liabilities are $685.
473. The assets. assuming that all the
mortgages can be collected and the real
estate owned by the association is worth
til appraised value, amount to $685. 740.50.
Some of the items will not pan out as much
as their face value. Additional assets
amounting to a large sum are practically
worthless. Rhoades left unsecured notes to
the amount of $1829S51 besides misappro-
priating $5.52214. The failure of this assoc
citation will not in any way affect the other
associations of this city. The last report
of the auditor of state shows them to be
strong and most conservatively managed.
