he More Tyranny and Rebellion.
London, Aug. 22-The Manila CORE
spondent of the Daily Telegraph, in dis
patch dated Sunday. says: Gen. Merritt
has proclaimed a government of military
occupation. The news of the armlstice ar
rived on Aug. l6. 1t is feared that the
Americans may restore the Philippines to
Spain and thus re-inaugurate a fresh pc
rod of tyranny. extortion and rebellion.
The Spanish guarantees for freedom of
the press and religion and for just admin
istration are useless unless under foreign
supervision.
1.-THE Americans found $4,000 In the
Spanish treasury.
1.-THE unfinished message which sent
you last Saturday was dispatched while
street firing was still proceeding. This
proved to be the solitary incident Il
arose from the fact that the Spaniards In
the suburbs were not aware that the sur
render had occurred.
Foreign opinion is loud in praise of the
action of the American commanders ex-
Guiding armed rebels from the city. There
Is good reason to believe that their FIRM
ness saved Manila from pillage.
"A week ago there appeared to be a
possibility OF collision with the rebels, hut
there is no danger now. Everything Is
quiet"

UNPhTRlOTIC.
A Riverside Employe Alleged to Have
Been Discharged for Expressing
Sympathy for Spain---Journalistic
Enterprise Other BenW00d Notes.

1t is alleged in Benwood and the
lower part Of Wheeling that one OF
the employees of the Riverside steel
works had been discharged for ex-
pressing sympathy for Spain. Last
Friday the employees Of the steel works
raised a subscription to buy an Amer
lean flag, which was hoisted above
the steel department. One OF the
workmen yesterday, in speaking OF the
affair, said that the employe referred
to refused to give any money for the
purpose and made the unpatriotlc re-
mark that he would like to see Spain
blow this country to pieces. This,
according to the story, aroused the
men and they made a complaint to
the manager and gave notice that
they would not work any longer with
him. He has not been working this
week, and the statement has been
going the rounds at the mill that the
company discharged him for the rea-
son mentioned.

terest is being manifested in the nomi-
nee for Congress in the Fourth Congress
sional district Calhoun claimes the

BENWOOD BRIEFS.

Mrs. John Curran died last evening
at 500 CT injuries received by being
accidentally burned about six weeks
ago. The Intelligencer published yes
telday morning that Mrs. Curran had
died the day previous, and this errone-
Gus statement was copied yesterday
IN the evening paper. 1t is lament
able indeed thai somts enterprising
events of this nature twenty-four
hours in advance. 1t has also been
generally noticed that the evening
paper referred to has been relying en-
tirely upon the morning papers from
which to get it news, and it is not
strange, therefore, that in this way it
copies mistakes as well as facts.
The employees of the Riverside are
truly patriotic. Three American ban
ners, one over the blast furnace. an
otler over the steel works, and the
third at the coke plant, attest to their
loyalty.
Mrs. Jacob Smith was seriously in
jured Monday evening. She fell from
step-ladder and broke her left limb
and sustained painful bruises. The
broken limb was set by the physicians

of ten gondolas, on each of which were
two large mounted cannons, with
numerous smaller pieces.
The lower plate mill is still idle.
The boilers are, however, being clean

to resume soon. The steel works is

NO CONFERENCE WITH BUNCo- sTEERERs.


The potential reason why there can be no
harmonzing of the differences between the
Committee of Fifty-three and the Platt-Quigg
County Committee is, as has already been set
forth by The Tribune that the differences are
radical, vital. They not trivial or per
sonal They are rooted In principle; in prin-
ciple publicly avowed and formally adopted In
Republican conventions and made a part Of the
organic law by the Republican majority in the
last Constitutional Convention. The Plat
Quigg County Committee has deliberately and
openly repudlated that principle. and Haunted
its defiance Of the constituted authorities Of
the party in the faces Of Republican voters.
The Committee Of Fifty-three is enrolling the
Republican voters of this city who are loyal to
the party and 10 the declarations OF its plat
forms, Its conventions and its highest consu-
tuted authorities. Its work Is legitimate. Is
honest and above board is absolutely essential
to the maintenance Of the party's honor and
good faith, and consequently essential to It's
salvation and success 1t can make no com
promise with the dsloyal factonists who hav-
ing gained control Of the machinery Of organ
ization by fraudulent primaries and packed con-
ventlons have used and are using 1t to defeat
the expressed will Of the party and perpetuate
their own power 1t can only treat with
the Platt-Quigg Committee when that body
abandons IT'S opposition to the principle Of nom
partisan municipal government: in other words
upon the sole basis Of unconditional surrender
We suspect that the well-meaning gentlemen
who have assumed the task Of bringing these
two committees together and harmOnizng their
differences have not fairly weighed the consid-
erations involved in this statement. They do
not realize how insurmountabe the differences
are and how impossible any union except upon
the absolute surrender of one or the other
But, this being the sufficient and potential rea-
son why the Committee Of Fifty-three cannot
enter into any negotiations looking to union
with the Platt-Quigg Committee, It may not be
amiss to add that other reasons for refusing the
proposed conference are not lacking. One Of
these is that the Platt-Quigg Committee is not
only disloyal to Republican principles. not only
the creature and instrument Of fraud, but that
it Is so saturated through and through with dis
honesty that self-respecting gentlemen cannot
meet Its members on equal terms, or treat with
them upon any question Of current politics with
out the sacrifice Of selfrespect. accompanied by
an almost positive certainty Of being cheated in
the end.
Does any one pronounce this harsh and I'M
charitable judgment? Review the record
Some Of the gentlemen who are hopeful OF har-
mony may have forgotten 1t. The men who are
In control of the PlattQulgg Committee are the
same that the Republican voters Of this county
rose up against In the Reform movements OF

both organizations were working to deposc from

CRY and become foremost in it, 1t was an I'M
commonly smart trick. When the reformers
came to their senses the same old gang was
running the machine in the same old way. The
reformers were tired. They looked at each
other curiously and then subsidized, as usual.
No need to follow the record The old gang
has been in contro! from that day to this. with
such results as are only too plainly apparent
And now that a committee Of honest and ear

want none. Is engaged in enrolling the Repub-

Confer with 1t again. Buck against the dead
en-and-shut game Of these bunco steerers
again after the experience Of 1894! Not much.
But perhaps some one will say that these men
are the regularly elected and duly accredited
representatives Of the party. and should be so
treated. Do they represent the party! Look
at 1t for a moment. In the last election there
were 100000 votes in round numbers cast for
two Republican candidates for Mayor For the
one who represented the principles Of the party
in their entirety there We're 10000. for the one
who represented Reputation Of the party prin-
ciples in one most important feature there were
100000. And the Platt-Quigg Committee which
pretends to stand for the entire party. contains
not single representative Of the 10000 who
constitute majority Of the party. Is 1t con-
ceivable that from any honest conduct Of the
primaries, any fair polling Of the voters, such
state Of things should result? A unanimous
County Committee and twothirds Of the party
totally unrepresented! Could there be more
palpable evidence Of fraud?
Confer with them? No. Let the Committee
Of Fifty-three 90 on enrolling honest Repub-
leans, and let the bunco-steerers flock by them
selves.
