BREWER And CHANDLER
Civil Service Commissioner on the
Gallinger Investigation.
READY TO LEAVE COMMISSION.

"shouid President Mckinley Ask Nc
For the Chair IL Would BE Almost
ns Pleasant to Me as to Senator
Chandler"
Concord, NJ H., July 14.-The civil
service commission investigation into
the charges against Senator Gallinger
is over. as far as the city OF Concord
Is concerned. Commissioner Mark s.
Brewer yesterday afternoon gave a
monologue TO the members OF the
press who had reported the proceed
ings Of the investigation. Senator
Chandler was invited TO be present by
Mr.. Brewer but declined.
Mr.. Brewer stated to the newspaper
men that when the first letter came
from Governor Busiel making the
charges against Senator Gallinger he
was absent from Washington. Had |
been present my first suggestion would
have been that Governor Busiel should
put the charges in form and present
them to the district attorney for the
state Of New Hampshire. Inasmuch as
they seemed to indicate a violation of
the statute, and not of the commits
sion's rules, the district attorney could
have brought them before the grand
jury of the federal court and COM
PEELED the attendance of witnesses,
which this commission could not do.
"I have had personal acuuaint-
ance with both senators from New
Hampshire for more than 20 years, and

Goodlands, l. T.. July 14.--William
Goings C'Walla Tonka"). the Choctaw
Indian, was shot at Alikchi. I. T., yes
terday under sentence Of the Choctaw
court for murder. Application was
made on Wednesday for n writ Of
habeas corpus, and an order was
granted by Federal Judge Thomas
granting the writ. II directed the In
dian sheriff to produce Goings at South
McAlester on July %. Sheriff Wat
son refused to receive the writ, and
Judge James, the Choctaw Judge, or
dered the execution to proceed.
The execution took place two hours
later, and was a sickening sight. A
few minutes before Goings was led
out four Choctaws appeared bearing a
coffin. II was deposited In front of the
court house. Near II quilt was spread.
The condemned Indian, supported by
Sheriff Watson and a deputy. and es-
corted by 20 light horsemen, marched
down the line Of spectators.
Goings then knelt upon the quilt
blindfolded. The sheriff barred his
bosom, painted a spot over his heart.

across a bench and fired. The bullet
entered the breast, but missed the
spot. Goings fell backward and moan
ed for an hour before expiring. Water
was poured down his throat a num-
Der of times to hasten death by
strangulation.
While the execution was proceeding
District Attorney Clay remarked: I'VE
are making history"
II remains TO be seen what action the
United States government will take
for defiance Of the writ.
The crime for which Goings was shot
was the murder OF his uncle, Mason
Goings, in December, 1896. He was
| sentenced to be shot Aug. 25, 1897,
( and the court granted respite that
Goings might play baseball with the
nine OF the Choctaw Nation during
1898. He returned voluntarily from
Cuba recently to meet his death.

l have been on friendly terms with
them both. On account of those friend
ly relations / did not desire to come
here and try the case. did come
simply because l was ordered to do so.
Upon our arrival here my associates
insisted that l must conduct the pro-
ceedings. This l did with as much
vigor as l ever displayed in q trial in
court. l have sought in every way TO
elucidate pertinent facts. l never have
had a thought of screening anybody
from trial or from conviction for any
violation of the statutes"
In relation to the statement that he
had himself contributed to the cam
paign fund Mr.. Brewer stated that he
had never contributed dollar in vio-
lation of any statute. 81 have ac-
complished ten times more for the
cause of civil service than Senator
Chandler ever dreamed Of" remarked
Mr.. Brewer parenthetically. With
reference to the fact that he notified
witnesses that they were not obliged
to answer certain questions, Mr.. Brew
or said he did only what any judge in
any court in the land would be ex-
pected to do-that is, inform witnesses
hS W NuSlI leBdl tights.
Commissioner Brewer quoted Sena-
tor Chandler's remarks that the other
Investigators, Commissioner Harlow
and Agent Wales, were good fellows"
and added: II did nothing here, ex-
| cept get mad, that has not met the ap-
proval Of these two good fellows; and
take the responsibility for getting
mad. II Senator Chandler had contin-
ued those insinuations would have
flung him out of the window. No man
with particle of self respect could sit
still and permit such allegations to be
made by a gentleman of his position
AS to Senator Chambers movements
for his removal Mr.. Brewer said:
BLESS his dear heart, he knows
nothing about my relations with the
president, and no more about the civil
service commission than does the man
in the moon. 1 am not filing the posi-
tion at my own request and through
my own seeking, but simply and solely
because William Mckinley sent for me
and urged me to take it. II President
Mckinley should decide to take the ad-
vice Of Senator Chandler and Governor
Busiel. and should ask me for the
chair l have occupied for the past 1s
months, 1t would be almost as pleasant
to me as to Mr.. Chandler. Senator
Chandler and have long been friends
and will be again in a few days.
doubt not"
Senator Chandler, when seen later,
said that his position is not at all
changed by Mr.. Brewers statement. He
will prefer charges against Commits
sioner Brewer, not on account of any
personal discourtesy, but on account Of
the general misconduct of the hearing
by the commission.

GOEBEES OPPONENT.
Kentucky Republicans Candidate
For Governor.
WILLIAM 8. TAYLOR CHOSEN.

A Flow OF KentucRy oratory I'm the
Nominating Speeches - over Throe
Hundred Speeches Delivered During
the Day-Colored Men WIN Bolt.
Lexington, KY, July 14.-The Re
publican state convention adjourned
last night after being in continuous
session since q. m. What was called
the Deboe-Taylor slate for the most
part was ratified. Before the conven-
tion assembled most of the delegates
were for Taylor for governor, and
when the nomination for governor was
reached about all Of them were for
Taylor. In the contests for minor
places there was vociferous flow of
Kentucky oratory. In the contest for
attorney general there we're AZ speech
es by actual count and during the day
there we're over 300 speeches. After
the presentation speech for each can
didate there was a multitude of sec
onding speeches.
The presentation OF Taylor's name
by his leading opponent, Colonel III. s.
Stone, and the seconding OF the same
by Judge Pratt, his other opponent,
was a dramatic scene, but the most
exciting time of the convention was
during the contest for attorney gen.
eral. The Taylor men who had been
making the race for that nomination
objected to being ,sidetracked by one
who had failed OF another nomination
and they made an aggressive fight.
Senator Deboe, General Taylor and
their close friends were active workers
In the hall during the balloting for at
torney general They wanted Judge

majority.
The full ticket nominated is as fol-
lows: For governor, William S. Tay-

ney general, Clifton ]. Pratt; state
auditor, John s. Sweeney; superinten-
dent OF public instruction, John Burke;
commissioner OF agriculture, John w
Throckmorton.
The closing hours Of the convention
were very stormy, and for more than
an hour intense excitement prevailed
because Of an arbitrary ruling by
Chairman Breathitt, but cooler heads
prevailed, and the convention adjourn
ed after passing resolutions thanking
the city of Lexington for faVors shown
and Chairman Breathitt for fair and
impartial rulings.
Some of the negroes of Lexington
are still dissatisfied with the nomina'
tion of General Taylor for governor
and an effort will be made by them L
