Lively Contest in Progress at the Gin
cinnati Camp.
Cincinnati, O., Sept. 1.-THE fight for
commander-in-chief absorbs all inter
est in the G. A. R. encampment. The
Ohio and New York delegation held
stormy caucuses at the Grand hotel,
with the result that l. F. Mack and Col.
Albert E. Shaw stand as their respec-
tive candidates. Neither, however,
will have the full vote of his state dele
cation.
When Lafayette Post of New York
city came in Tuesday George Kay be-
gan a vigorous fight against Shaw.
The greatest trouble encountered by
Shaw's opponents was their inability
to influence the representatives Of any
other state or the supporters of Col
James A. Sexton and Maj. Thomas j.
Anderson to enter the fight
By a vote of % to Is the Ohio eau
Gus agreed to present Mr.. Macks
name to the convention. The fifteen
are from Cincinnati and other points
in the south end of the state and they
declare their determination never to
give Mack their votes.
Before adjourning the New York
caucus agreed to support Col. Shaw,
but there was one voice, according to
Corporal Tanner, against making it
unanimous. This leaves the situation
much as it was, except that Col Shots
has dropped out of the race.
1t is generally conceded that either
Col. Shaw or Maj. Anderson will be
the next commander-in-chief. Penn

sofa. On motion of Mr.. Donnelly the
nomination of Mr.. Barker was made
unanimous, and then Ignatius Don
nelly was nominated for vice-president
by acclmation.
The convention got into such row
that the manager of the Lyceum or
dered them to leave the hall, fearing
the destruction of his property. Order
was finally restored by the Butler fac.
tion boiling and leaving the hall.
A letter was read from ex-Gov
Waite of Colorado, in which he de.
nounced Senator Butler as a treacher,
Gus chairman and false leader, and ad.
vocated the nomination of straight
populistic tickets for president and
other offices.
An elaborate address to the people
of the United States was adopted. 1t
reaffirms the previous platform Of the
populists and says, among other
things:
while we demand that if either gold
or silver is to be used as money both
shall be so used, we insist that the best
currency this country ever possessed
was the full legal-tender greenback Of
hn I'd
with hope to the day when gold shall
be relegated to the diseased teeth of
the people and the human family pos
sesses, free of tribute to bankers, a
governmental full legal-tender meas
ure Of value, made of paper, that will
expand side by side with the growth
of wealth and population. We call at
tention to the public school system and
the postal service as publications.
Of a benefcent state socialism and to
similar institutions for the improve
ment of the condition of the people. !"
The platform especially denounces
Senator Marion Butler of North Caro-
lima as chairman of the national COM
mittee for attempting Ito drive the
populist party into the democratic
organization.
The resolutions also provide for the
reorganization of the party, with Mil
ton Park of Dallas, Tex, as chairman.
The most important action of the
convention was the adoption of the
referendum system as the cardinal
principle in the future of the govern
ment of the reorganized party. The
nominations just made are to be re-
ferred to the voters Of the peoples
party of all states and territories. The
new rules provide that the new peo-
pies party shall never again hold a
delegate convention of any sort-na-
tional. state, district or lOcal-but that
the nominations for all Offices shall be
made through ''the initiative and ref
erendum or petitions Endorsed by pop
ular vote"

alias sDiekey. Dean and Martin Dona-

a quarrel last night in a saloon At III
North Clark street.
The affair IS said to be the result OF a
feud Of months standing. Dean aud
Donahuc are at the Aiexian Brothers
hospital, Neither Is expected to live
twenty. four hours. Donahue was shot
In the breast, Just over the heart. while
Dean has a bullet in his headS Accord

killed Murphy in self defense. and Dean
was shot while acting as a p%eacemaker.
The police information Is that at . a.
M, Murphy entered the saloon evidently
In search OF trouble, and Immediately
upon seeing Martin Donahue opened
fire on him. Dean stepped between the
men and received the second shot which
Murphy fired, the first going wide. In
the exchange OF shots all the men were
wounded. At the saloon the police found
two revolvers under the cigar case wrap
ped in the bar tenders apron. One was
OF small calibre, and Its chambers were
all full. This was Identified as Deans

he had no. fired a shot. The other was
OF large callbre and Its handle was COW

which Donahue killed Murphy. Dona-

a revolver close to Deans side and

among them Major" Sampson. who
was suspected of completely in the muir
der OF Gus colliander during the election
riots three years ago, and for which Al
derman Thomas o'Malley was tried and
acquitted. The general theory as to the
u Of the quarrel Is that the trouble
originated In a stabbing ARRAY which
took place in Donahue's saloon abou.
three months ago between Murphy and a
man named Joe Kehoe. Murphy was
stabbed over the eye and on his recovery
blamed Martin Donahue for causing the
trouble. Murphy swore vengeance and
the shooting this morning is said to be

E NJ TALKS

On Cuban Aairs-He Says the 1nsurg-
ents VIII Accept no Other Terms From
Spain Except the Absolute Freedom OF
the Island From Spanish Rule.
NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The Herald to-
day prints the following letter from Cen
eral Maxine Gomez, commander-in-
chief of the Cuban army, dated in the
field. December %, 1897: You ask me
for my opinion regarding what effect the
autonomy regime about to be implanted
by Spain in Cuba might have toward the
paclfication of the island. The Cubans
in arms do not propose to give up. shall
never yield In their struggle with the
metropolis until they have established
their absolute independence. No matter
what number Of liberties Is granted TO
Cuba by any Spanish government. even
In case Spain should reserve to herself
no other right than to keep the Spanish
flag over Cuba as 4 symbol OF nominal
sovereignty. she will not succeed in end
ing the wal. The Cuban people will ad-
nit OF no other solution Of the present
conflict than that whereby Cuba shall be
recognized as 4 member of the sister.
hood Of free nations.
I'm this attitude of absolute radicalism
we are sustained by two great motives,
which, unified as one single force, impel
the Cuban people as a whole as we'll as
individuals, TO adopt the grand resolu-
interest; the former because the Cubans
feel that thy have been profoundly hurt
by the horrible war methods employed
against them by Spain, the latter be-
cause they are all firmly convinced that
only as freemen will they be able to en-
joy peace and command the necessary
credit to reconstruct their country which
has been devastated by Spain herself.
In short, Cuba not only wishes but needs
to be free. Il IS about time that Spanish
statesmen should recognize this fact and
leaving aside all chaotic autonomy,
should manfully confront the true prob
lem.
Let the Spanish nation acknowledge
Cuba's independence. which she justly
claims, and receive 4 compensation
which is right and equitable. And even
let her claim from Il government some
advantages in the Cuban tariff to foster
her own industries. Then. and only then
will the rainbow OF peace tighten the
horizon which is now Redeemed by the
| glare OF the burning fields and the firing
OF the cannon"
The Herald also prints an interview
with General Gomez at 4 date later than
the writing OF the above letter. The cor
respondent found General Gomez in the
best OF health and spirits and fully con-
WINGED that the long struggle is drawing
to n close.
