made unanimous. The contest was
wholly between Mr.. Barkworth and ex-
Justice Allan B. Morse. the four other
candidates having Withdrawn before
the first ballot was completed. Prior
to the convention, it was asserted and
denied that Judge Morse's sympathies
in the last presidential campaign were
with the gold standard Democracy. and
this is believed to have effected the
result

Stanley E. Parkhill (Pop., of OWENS.
Hon. Justin r. Whiting of st. Clair,
late fusionist candidate for governor,
was the temporary chairman. His
address was a strongly put argument
for free silver, an arraignment of Re
publican policies, and condemnation of
the encroachmentS of trusts and COM
bines. Ex-Judge John Miner of De-
troit was made permanent chairman.

BAILEY's CLOSE CALL.
Resolution of Endorsement Opposed
In State Senate,

Austin, Tex, March S.-The senate of
the Texas legislature today had the
liveliest kind of a row over the con-
sideration of the house resolution en-
dorsing Congressman Bailey in his ac-
ton in fighting against the seating of
Joe Wheeler in congress. An attempt
was made to kill the resolution by re-
ferring it to committee, which was
defeated by a close vote-13 to II. An
amendment was then adopted, provid
ing that the adoption should not be
construed as a reflection on Congress
man Wheeler. An amendment, setting
forth that the adoption of the resolu
tion should not be considered as ally
ing the Texas senate to Bailey's sup
port for United States senator two
years hence was voted down by the
close vote of 13 to Il. After much
speechmaking, during which senators
expressed themselves as being opposed
to Bailey-worshiping in any such
marked manner, the friends of the
resolution managed to get it adopted
by hurried viva voce vote, thus end
ing the controversy at Il point where
Bailey was getting the worst of it.

: Democrat. at least as a protectionlst
| Democrat, and he said, No, that he
would never consent to stand where his
conscience would not permit him to
stand He has been, however, as he
said, a Democrat all his life, that is,
a kind of a Democrat as good as Sam
Randall and he was considered a good
enough Democrat to be elected speaker
of the house of the American congress.
But he said that when the time came
that we divided on party lines that the
tariff was made the sole issue, and he
felt he was out of place then, and he
felt that he could more consistently
stand as a Republican. / asked him if
he had changed his views, he said no,
he only felt that it was more consistent
to stand as a Republican when that
was the great issue between the two
parties. And now l maintain that it
is not the issue today. The Democrats
believe in protective tariff for
revenue, and if the Democrats had
power today they would be under
necessity of putting on a higher, tariff
than the Republicans in order to get
that revenue. We know here in Salt
Lake that every time we draw check,
send a draft or draw mortgage, we
are taxed in order to make up the
deficiency in revenue because the tariff
is not high enough for the revenue,
and l say, therefore, that it Simply
drops into insignificance.
Now, some of my friends that l have
spoken to have said that they might
sustain this gentleman, but that he had
done so much against Democracy, had
always been its enemy and worked
against the party. I questioned him on
these matters and he denies most EN-
phatically that this is so, except in
one sense, and that was for the benefit
of the people of this whole state. He
says that when the division was made
on party lines, the Mormon people had
been schooled in the school of DEM
ocracy from the beginning, and they
had an idea that they could not be
loyal saints without being good DEM
ocrats, they felt they must all be Dem
ocrats. l know that myself, because /
was one of the county committeeman
called together by Chairman Richards,
and know we had difficulty in
making the assembly believe that we
wanted to divide on party lines. The
people thought there must be some un-
derstanding that we were all to go to-
gether to Democracy. But that divis-
ions was meant to be a division, 1t was
earnest and there was no understand
ing. This man of whom / am speak
ing recognized that the feeling of ha-
tired should be wiped out, and that a di-
vision should be made fairly and
squarely on party lines, and he ac-
knowledges that he did use his influ-
ence as man and as a statesman to
plead with some of the brethren that
they did not have to be Democrats
that it was all right to be Republicans
and no crime whatever. He told them

TUESDAYS FIGHTING.
How General Hale Drove the Insur-
gents Back.

New York, March s.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: General
Hale determined this morning to clear
away the enemy from the front of the
right wing.
The gunboat Laguna de Bay, under
Major Grant, began shelling the enemy's
position. Two companies of the twen-
tie1h infantry and three companies OF
the First Nebraska, under Colonel
Statenbarg, swung in from the road tC
the waterworks, driving the rebels to-
ward the Pasig river
The First Wyoming advanced directly
on the insurgent position in front.
Meanwhile the Laguna de Bay pounded
the foe from the river.
Thus attacked on three sides, the in
surgents were driven back.
Captain ]. D. O'Brien of the First
Wyoming was shot in the right wrist,
and Major Shell of the bureau OF infor-
nation was slightly wounded Com
plete reports of the wounded are not
vet in. General Hale estimates the en-
emy's loss at $50.
At the time of sending this dispatch
the Wyoming troops occupied an ad-
vanced position.
The insurgents opened fire across the
river from Guadalupe, killing Private

ton. and wounding two others.
The insurgents have been concentrat-
ing to the east of the city, and will
probably try an attack from that side.
Their principal object is to cut off the
water supply of Manila. The American
positions are strong. and their attempts
will be futile. The insurgent losses have
been severe the last few days
The Madrid authorities have offered
AgrIinaldo a ransom of $1,000 for each
officer. 500 each for the privates and
$50 for each civil servant. They have
not offered to ransom the priests.
Agufnaldo declares that he has paid
flibusters 10000, and has received only
ZOO rifles and 100000 rounds of ammu-
nition. The flibusters say the res
have been captured, but probably they

Bennion, and the latter arose, looked
| around defiantly and announced that
he was going to spring a sensation,
everyone knew what was coming. In
one of his characteristic long-drawn-
out, rambling speeches, he nominated
George Q. Cannon. He said:
Il desire to say q few words this
morning in explanation of my vote and
the position that l am going to take.
1 trust that you will not be wearied,
as 1 am not an orator, for singing,
believe, is my forte. 1t happens that
stand on the same portion of the
floor but l do not know that it is the
same plank, as Representative Law
did when he sprung his sensation here,
but 1 trust you will not think it pre-
meditated that 1 should be on this
spot; it only happens so. Now, 1 made
propositions here the other day to Rep
resentative Johnson on a compromise
candidate, and while he didn't just
come out and say that he either would
or wouldn't follow my lead if l named
a certain person, l am going to give
him a trial this mo- ing. 1 presume
what [ may say n.y. be considered
probably as a church influence sensa-
ton this morning, but 1 want to say on
the start that church influence cuts no
figure, no greater figure with me than
it does in any other matter that con-
trols me. They may cry Coward!
Coward / confess 1 may have a great
many weaknesses, but 1 claim that 1
am no coward, whatever else may be
said of me. 1t may have been church
influence under which l voted for Nc
Cune. 1t has been said so; l have been
accused Of being under priestly author
ity in so doing, but want to say that
it is my own judgment and conscience
that led me in that matter and 7 only
left when we got into such disreputa-
Bile and unpleasant tangle that 1
couldn't tell what to believe and who to
believe; and in the midst of it all l felt
the safest thing to do was to put it all
to one side. 1 had confidence in the
committee, but they did not bring in
unanimous report, as l thought they
ought to have done, and in those re-
ports neither recommended the eXpul-
sion of Mr.. Law from this house. and
l took it as being rather weak, and
could not see my way to continue sup
porting the man 1 had been, in the in
terests of the state. l haven't said,
however, that / would never change
my position in these matters. l want
to keep myself free and follow the die
tates of my conscience in all things.
Now there hss been a good deal of talk
about a certain gentleman, mis- name
has not been mentioned, but we all
know who he is. The remarks this
morning by Brother Senator Robson
may be well meant, may be well in
tended, but 1 think that they are mis-
taken, l know they are mistaken, in
some parts at any rate. because to
satisfy myself this morning so that
there might be no question upon this
matter, had personal interview with
that gentleman upon these very sub

Manila, March S.-Brigadier General
Hale withdrew his lines today to the
position they occupied prior to yester-
days fighting and the insurgents fol-

General Wheaton estimates that there
are 500 rebels on his front.
Captain Link of the First Idaho in

The Filipinos are swarming in the
jungles along the river banks and as
fast as the Americans dislOdge them
and drive them over the river they re-
turn. The withdrawal of the Ameri-
cans to take up their positions after
these sharp engagements is the signal
for the rebels to sneak back to cover

Harrisburg, Pa, March S.-The legis-
lative probers into the bribery charges

mony at tonights meeting. Represen-

that if he would write him a prescrip-
ton he (Coyle) would pay him a fee of
either $50 or 800 to sign the paper, the
witness could not recollect the exact
amount. COyle told Johnston that there
would be bills up later in the session in
which there would be money" and
Coyle would let him in ON them
The witness saw Coyle subsequently
at the Lochiel hotel, and the ex-senator
offered an amount of money, as near as
the witness could recollect. to support
