Hands.

county convention leaves that party
with the last hope of success gone.
There is war to the knife and the
knife to the hilt within the ranks OF
Democracy, and the boast is made
that scores will be evened at the polls
before the ides of November. The
outcome of the fight on sheriff@is at
the bottom of the trouble. 1t is
claimed that Henry Himmelman'
friends played some of the other can
didates for suckers and the latter are
resenting such treatment. The can
didacy of Mr.. Zimmerman for sheriff
had been freely talked of for some
days, and it was in the air yesterday
at Union hall from the moment the
convention assembled. His nomina.
tion for state senator on the start is
credited as being shrewd move on
the part of his friends to give Mr..
Wagon an open field in the city and
with the German delegates. When
it was apparent that Mr.. Wagons ex
IRENE limit of strength was AS votes,
his forces held in line to tire out the
minor candidates, Messrs. Mallory,
Schultz and Foster. This worked as
planned. and these gentlemen with
drew from the race. Mr.. Himmel-
man then had II supporters aside
from the Wagon delegates. The lat
ter began to break away, and Him
melman had 40 votes on the next
ballot, to 26, for Wagon. Wagons 4S
and Himmelman's II made 60 votes,
and on the last ballot Zimmerman
had 81, having gained another, while
Little's forces numbered practically
all the rest Of the delegates. Wagon
withdrew in favor of Zimmerman,
and for fear that all who had been vot-
ing for Wagon did not hear the an
nouncement, close friend of both
Wagon and Himmelman jumped
upon the platform and shouted
at the top of his voice, "Wagen with
draws in favor of Zimmerman" 1t
will be seen that Mr.. Himmelman's
nomination was brought about by Mr..
Wagons 4S votes, to which the II held
in reserve were added, with one or
two scattering votes picked up.
These II votes, that had been divided
up among the smaller candidates,
would have nominated Mr.. Wagon at
any time if the word had been given.
But this was not the slate, and they
were held until the right moment
and then concentrated on Mr.. Him.
melman, and the string pulled on the
Zimmerman men who had been Yot-
ing for Wagon. The long ballOting
seemed to demonstrate to Mr.. Wagons
friends that his strength could not
exceed 4S. or seven less than the num-
Der required to nominate. 1t was
rather tantalizing to be so near the
goal, but it let Mr.. Wagon down easy,
and brought his own personal follow
ing readily into the Zimmerman
camp. The game was worked to per-
lection, but it left some very sore
spots, and the knife will be welded
without pity at the polls.
Mr.. Zimmerman claims not to have
been cognlzant of what was being
done, but he will be held accountable
all the same by those who claim to
have been misused.

seeking with blind partisanship to

going up and down the streets a few

Many could not understand why
Henry Himmelman was nominated
for both senator and sheriff. One ex-
PLANTATION is that the party ran short
of material and had to give two offices
to one man. For some of the offices,
everybody present who was mentioned
declined to serve, and the ticket was
filled by going outside among those
who did not know that they were
talked of and were therefore not pre-.
sent to refuse. 1t was mean trick
on these.

There is great deal Of dlssatisfac-
tion among the Democrats over the
fact that the convention did not put
up legislative ticket. Many are
stating openly that they will not vote
for any Populists. The fusion scheme
was almost floored in the convention,
and svoters will see that it is COM
pletely f1oored at election. The stuff
ing of Populism Edown the throat of
Democracy will not work this year
any better than it has in the past.
There is a big kick over the resolu-
tions opposing the territorial growth
of the country. Such statements and
insInuations;as they contain are too
rank for.many Of the Democrats. who
place patriotism before party marrow
ness. No Democratic convention yet

The Spanish troops formerly station

With the rage over the American
invasion, the Spanlards are reported to

houses and maltreating the women
and children. Some of the acts of
brutality reported here yesterday are
shocking beyond description.
The steady stream of terror stcken
refugees that began to pour into Ponce
last night has continued today. They
are appealing to the United States mil

tell the same stories of brutality and

Ponce, Porto Rico, Saturday, via st.
Thomas, d. w. l., Sunday, August l.
Reports indicating the unsettled condl-
ton of affairs in the interior of the is
lands continue to be brought to this
city by native refugees and Spanish
subjects. These reports are contra
dicted. The natives assert that the
Spanish soldiers are maltreating wo-
men and destroying property as they
retreat in the direction of Aibonito,
while the Spanish residents complain
bitterly about the conduct of the ma
tives. Delegations of Spaniards have
come into the city to demand that eth
er arms or protection be given to them,
They declare that if they are given
arms they will defend themselves
against the natives, whom they charge
with revolutionary tendencies
The feeling of the natives towards
the Spaniards is very bitter and they
are annoying them in every possible
way
A proclamation has been issued in
Spanish and printed in the local news
papers assuring peaceful residents,
whether natives or Spaniards, that full
protection will be given them, and adj
vislng the people to forget their past
animosities. The local newspapers,
in commenting edltorlally on the situa-
ton, highly commend the moderation
with which their newly acquired pow
er is exercised by the Americans.
Attracted by the reports Of elem
ency and protection Spanish volunteers
continue to come into the city to sur

bers today The profess to be de-
lighted at the opportunity to throw off
the Spanish military yoke. These men
bring their arms to General Wilson's
headquarters and they are piled up
in the court yard.
