Tell What Wickedness
They Have Opposed.
Senator Threatened With Dire
Things in Future.

Philadelphia, May 1.-THE Business
Mems Republican League of Pennsylvania
which organized d sst fall, and put forth
special efforts throughout the stnte to
secure the election Of anti-Quay candidates
to the legislature, tonight issued an ad
dress to the people Of the state, eongratu-
lating them upon the progress made by
the forces of good government during the
past year.
The address says the majority Of the
mem bers elected to the general assembly
for the first time in nearly score Of
years, was anti-Quay and repudiated MIR.
Quay, the head and front of that corrupt
and vicious political system that SO long
has been a reproach to the state.
This anti-Quay body, the address says,
exposed and defeated all forms of machine
conceived corruption and legislative job
berry. Continuing the address says that
"the appalling chapter of crime, as devel-
ored by the legislative investigating COM
mittee showing far reaching conspiracy
to corrupt and brlbe members of the leg
islature to vote for Mr.. Quay for United
States Senator should alone drive from
his support every self-respecting. voter in
the state"
Th principal state officer to be chosen at
the November election Is state treasurer,
nominations for which office will be made
Mt the approaching party conventions and
the leagues address takes up this topic as
follows:
LET Mr.. Quay himself become the ma
chimes candidate for state treasurer at the
ensuing election. Mr.. Quay has boasted
of his readiness to go TO the people for
vindication. He as state treasurer In
augurated and fostered the system of
personal profit by the use of public
MONIES" which has been an important
issue in this contest. He represents in
every sense, the evils against which self
Republicans have revolted, he
is the source and incarnation of the evils
of the system which bears his name. Let
him thus make the issue distinct and
the final decision to the
people. If Mr.. Quay fears to submit his
candidacy to the people and in the face of
his repudiation by their representatives.
insists upon claiming seat In the
United States Senate, through the unlaw-
full act of a subservient governor, he will
intensity and prolonR the contest until he
is repudiated by future Legislature apd

other candidates who bear the stamp Of
his machine.

transportation Mana
gers To Interfere.
Work Practically At Standstiu
At Big Docks.

Buffalo. May. 1.-THE strike among the
members of the freight handlers union at
this port is gradually assuming a serious
aspect. There are about 5000 of these men
pledged not to work for any contractor
and many of these are now on srtike.
Originally few of them went out in
sympathy with the grain shovellers and
now it is believed that in case the SCOOP
ers gain their point they will still remain
out until their own difficulties have been
satisfactorily settled. Several managers
of transportation lines said today that If
the contractors did not quickly demon
strate their ability to do the work of
loading and unloading freight boats,
they would be compelled to devise other
means of relieving the congestion OF
traffic at this port. At the Lehigh valley
docks the company called in lot of yard
men and other employees to take the
places of the strikers.
At the central, Erie and other big docks
the work WAS practically at a standstill,
the few freight handlers who were at
work being non union men. The freight
handlers demand an increase Of wages
from 90 cents an hour, the present rate,
to 80 cents an hour for work outside of
the freight houses and 20 cents an hour
for inside work. They also ask for the
abolition of the contract system.

RACE HATRED,
Not Crimes of Negroes at Bottom of
Lynchings.

New York, May 11.-At the Afro
American NJ. L. conference in session
here today. the Right Rev. j. W. Hood,
d. D., presiding bishop of the New York
annual conference, delivered the annual
address, taking his subject 1.-The State Of
the Country"
In the course of his remarks the Bishop
referred to the recent lynchings in the
South. He said:
81 boldly assert that these outrages
originate in the deep seated race hatred
in the communities where they occur. If
there are black men so beastly as to be-
guilty of the horrid crime OF which they
are often charged that Is no excuse for
the lynchings because in any clear case
against the black man punishment is GER
tain and swift by legal process. There are
no vexatious delays III his case. l am en-
tireiy satisfied that some have been legal
Iy put to death who are innocent OF the
crime. If the negro escapes he must prove
himself innocent beyond the shadow OF q
doubt. am entirely satisfied that in
some cases the crime charged had no
foundation In fact but was made up for
the purpose of justifying the race hatred.
"a peculiar kind of politics is at the
bottom of nearly all these outrageS-
politics which has for its purpose the de-
rial to the black man of the OWL and
political rights which are enjoyed by
Others In most cases the pretsnse that
there Is any other cause for them Is a
sham, deception, fraud"

Conspicuous among those to whom the
attention of the district was directed
during the early days of the canvass wal
a distinguished Citizen of Knox county.
That county possessed and presented
strong claims for recognition because oi
locality but even this was over shadowed
by the more potent argument OF heI
candidate personality and attainments.
After speaking Of MIR. Littlefield' e
early life and subsequent achievements,
Mr.. Cobb said. in conclusion:
1 have attempted to portray briefly the
man whom Knox county Is proud to
claim as her candidate, and to whom she
gives her complete and loyal support. We
who know him best. his neighbors and
friends, and speak for them first OF all,
believe that be Is pre-eminently qualified
by natural disposition, ability and expert
ence, to represent the second district In
Congress.
We believe that while strenuous In his
support of the cardinal principles OF the
Republican party, he will be quick to
recognize the obligations which are i'm :
posed upon him, irrespective of party
utilization.
We believes that he will appreciate and
comprehend the needs of the varied
material interests of the district and
state, and that he will not be unmindful
OF the fact that true prosperity and con-
justly generous and labor honestly re-
ceives its own.
We believe too that In that larger sphere
Of action to which he may be called he
will grow in wisdom, strength and
patriotisn; that he will diligently apply
himself to the consideration Of the great
issues which now confront this republic,
and that he will be an honor to our state.
For these reasons. Mr.. Chairman, In be.
halr of Knox county and in behalf of his
many friends throughout the district, !
present to this convention, the name of
Charles h. Littlsfield of Hockland.
MIR. H. W. Oakes of Androscoggin was
the first to second the nomination. be
referred to the loss sustained by the dis
trict In the death of Hon. Nelson Ding
ley. When the time came to look for his
successor the people Of Androscoggin
county hardly knew how to meet the
situation. AndroscoGgin county contains
men engaged In various pursuits. and by
common consent as time passed all turned
in one way, towards the man who has
been nominated. They believed him to be
q man of mind and heart and character
which would tit him to represent the dis
trict which has been represented by Frye
and Dingley. AS Mr.. Oakes concluded
by seconding the nomination of MIR.
Littlefield, there was another burst of ap-
plause.
Lincoln county was represented by
Walter b. Clark, young Republican who
made good speech, speaking In praise OF
Mr.. Littefleld as q man OF personal
honor, political sagaoity and moral worth
