of those who have been a part of the
conspiracy to discredit you and insult
the state and its people.
81 have come to believe that the insti-
tuition most dangerous to our form Of
government is the newspaper. Its boast
ed liberty is rather a license. 1t has
no scruples and no conscience. There
are. of course. exceptions, but I speak
of the press as a whole. Because you,
Gen. Alger, would not bow to them, and
conduct the war department in the inter
ests of the combines, the army contrac-
tors and the commercial interests which
control the newspapers, you became
marked man. l know | voice the senti-
ments of the people of Michigan when 1
say history will rebuke the newspapers
and politicians of highest and lowest
station who have used such vile methods
to accomplish their little purposes.
ALGER'S RESPONSE.
Gen. Alger, responding, said;
81 can command no language to
express my gratitude to you for this
royal welcome to my home. l am glad
from the bottom of my heart to be re-
leased from official care and to again
enter the old home and live among the
people of Michigan.
''Since l went away two and half
years ago, as you know, the country has
been through terrific struggle. The
office of which I was the head was taxed
to the utmost of every mans strength
who occupied any position in it, l gave
my best thought and honest effort and
did everything l could to carry out my
n.
done is a matter of record, and | am
perfectly willing to rest the case with my
countrymen. Every transaction, every
order and everything that was done in
conducting that was is matter Of rec
ord and the people have right to have
that record searched.
"And now, my fellOwcitizeDS, | come
home without a grievance. During that
struggle, and while that great work was
upon me, l can truthfully say that
had from the president ali the support
that he could give. We went through
that struggle and came out victorious.
We transported across the seas more
than $50. 900 men. one way and the other,
without an accident. We fought battles
in the Philippines, in Cuba and in Porto
Rico, and we never lost battle. c2lor,

American flag was planted by the Amer
lean soldier there it stands, and there 1t
shall stand forever. But, AS ! said, 1
have no speech to make; am glad to. be
among you again, private citizen, and
that I can travel these streets and meet
YOU in social and business Intercourse,
and [ propose to stay here the palance
of my life. Good night"
The closing scene was reception in
the city hall corridor. Mrs Alger and
score of other ladies, with several of
the generals relatives, viewed the scene
from a canopied decorated platform
built in the main stairway, and thousands
pushed past and grasped Gen. Alger

WAS HARMONIOUS.
Convention of Maryland Democrats
to Name a State Ticket.

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. 2-The Demo-
cratic state convention which was held at
Ford's opera house in this city today, re-
suited in the nomination of the following
ticket:
For Governor-John Walter Smith. of
Worcester county.
For Attorney-General-I Rayner
of Baltimore.
For Comptroller-Joshua w. Herring, Of
Carroll county.
The convention was unusually har-
monious and all the nominations were
made by acclamation, Edwin Warfeld,
Mr.. Smiths principal opponent, withdraw
ing at the last moment and placing the
successful candidate in nomination.
John Walter Smith, the nominee for
governor, is a banker and resides in
Snow Hill, Worcester county. He has
served in the state senate for three
consecutive terms and was elected to
congress last November from the First
district
Isidor Rayner, the nominee for attOr-
ney general, is a lawyer, has long been
prominent in the political and social
circles of the state. He served in the
Fiftieth, Fifty-second and Fifty-third con-
crosses, and is regarded as one of the best
political orators of Maryland.
All the candidates are favorable to a
gold standard.
mo deadlier blow can be dealt to
American liberty than the suppression,
by an abuse of executive power, of the
free utterance by American freemen of
their sentiments upon matters of public
concern affecting the welfare of the peO>
pie, and we denounce as dangerous and
indefensible all efforts to interfere with
and abridge this sacred right.
I'VE declare our unaltered opposition
to the creation and maintenance of
large standing army in time of peace,
and we insist upon the supremacy of the
civil over the military authority, and we
demand the strictest economy in the
collection and disbursement of the pub
lie revenues.
1--WE believe in the -honored doc
trine so earnestly impressed upon US
by the fathers of the republic;' of peace,
commerce and honest friendship with all
nations, entangling alliances with none.
I'VE view with alarm the multiplica-
ton over the land of such gigantic in
dUstrial and commercial trusts, the out
growth of Republican legislation, as
stife competition, threaten popular gov
erRment, increase the cost of living and
curtail the individual rights of the peo-
pie, and we favor vigorous measures
by the states and by congress to repress
this great and growing evil.'

OBJECTS TO ICE.
Mrs. Wellington Says Her Husband
Is Cruel and Asks Divorce.

Mrs. Wellington Says Her Husband
Is Cruel and Asks Divorce.
OMAHA, Neb., Aug because Will
liam Wellington wanted his wife to take
ice cold baths every day and sometimes
several times day, she today filed pc
ution for an absolute divorce, and in
formed the court that she would not
stand such cruel treatment. The couple
are well known in Omaha Mrs. Nettie
Wellington being a vivacious member of
several clubs. Mr.. Wellington is a mer-
chant.
The petition recites that the couple were
married in Kansas City in 1885. Some
time later, the wife alleges, the husband
began to manifest a peculiar desire to
use ice-cOld water for q bath night and
morning. He thought it was the only
way to remain healthy. He became such
crank on the subject that he gradually
forced the other members of the family
to adopt the same measures.
The wife says she endured this patient
ly for some time, but of late her hus-
band has become unbearable in his de-
mands, insisting that she pour pitcher
of ice-cold water down her back several
times day and take an icy bath night
and morning. He said this was neces-
sary to continued health. Then she re-
belfed and went to the divorce courts.

STORM IN WISCONSIN.
Wind and Lightning Play Havoc
With Property.

OCONTO, Wis, Aug. "A severe wind
and lightning storm visited CouillardvilIe
today, and destroyed much property, and
it is feared the hail has ruined the
crops. Albert Sylvester was struck by
lightning, and is in a precarious condi-
ton. The residence of Edward Couillard
was struck and almost totally destroyed
by fire. Cattle in adjoining pastures were
killed.
AT Mays corners the storm was accom-
panied by hail, which covered the ground
to a depth of several inches, and was
of such size that many reports of severe
injury have been received.
A number of water spouts were noticed
by Claire Whitney and William Smith,
who were caught in an open boat, and
had hard work to reach this port in
safety.

From Fort Monroe.


From Fort Monroe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-Just before the
close of the war department today final
decision was reached to send the troops
from Fort Monroe to Battery Point, Del.
Surgeon General Wyman objected to To-
eating the troops so far South, but Gen.
Merritt held that it would be fatal in
case any of the men were infected to take
them North, and in the end the latter's
advice prevailed. Gen. Merritt is expect
ed to make an arrAnge3nent for the ex
ecution of the order, even to securing the
boats necessary to carry the men across
Chesapeake bay to the railroad which
will carry them to Battery Point, on the
Delaware river.
Secretary Root today found that the
care of the old soldiers at the Hampton
home was entirely within the power of
the national board of soldiers home. and
informed the board that the war depart

WILL CLAIM EMBLEM.
Opponents of GOebeI Ticket Have
Selected Slate.


LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. AT the
convention to be held here Aug. Is the
anti-GOebel Democrats will claim the reg
ular party emblem. According to law this
emblem must be claimed every fourth
year by the party, and the secretary of
state must grant the claim. This must be
made in convention. The convention at
Louisville was fourth in the series, but it
failed to claim the emblem. The anti
Goehel men will make this claim, and as
the secretary of state is a Republican, it
IS believed he will grant the request.
1t is given out tonight that the slate, as
faH as it has been arranged for no1n1na ton
at the coming convention is: John Brown,
governor; P. P. Johnston, lieutenant gov
ernOr; James ONeil, Louisville; Harry

ANTI-GOEBEL MEN.
Conference of Bryan Democrats
Held at Lexington


LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. "A confer
ence of Bryan Democrats opposed to Will
liam Goebel for governor of Kentucky
began here today to decide upon meas
ures to be taken. Almost 200 silver Dem
ocrats, headed by ex-Gov. John Young
Brown, have arrived. The meeting open
Cd at 1 o'clock. The chief question at is
sue is as to the policy of nominating a
full state ticket, or only candidates for
governor and lieutenant governor. FIX
Gov. Brown is the only man now dis
cussed for governor, and Mai. H. P. John
ston, late chairman of the Democratic
state committee, and president of the
National Trotting Horsebreeders' associa-
ton, is the popular choice for lieutenant
governor.
The popular suggestion for an emblem
is portrait of Bryan. The conference
will likely call the anti-GoebeI state con-
vention about Aug. 16 to nominate a tic
ket.
