CINCINNATI, o.. Sept. I3.-What will
probably be the last convention Of Mexi-
can war veterans began in Cincinnati to-
day. There are not more than 1000 of
the veterans left and they are dying at
the rate of several hundred year.
Nearly hundred were present at their
meeting today. They were escorted from
the hotel headquarters to the building,
where the business session was held, by
comrades of the Grand Army and the
Ohio national guard. The meeting was
opened with prayer by the Rev. Charles
Goss and welcoming addresses were made
by Mayor Fleischmann, Cornelius Cadle,
commander of the Loyal Legion, and
others. f. II. Hobsou of Kentucky,
president of the association, responded.
Messages of good will were read from
President Mckinley, and Governors
Nash and Mount. This afternoon the
visitors paid Wait to Fort Thomas. The
association has no regular business to

Getting Under the Hides.

WASHINGTON Sept. I3 Especial to
the TELLER)-Gen. Charles II. Gros-
venor, of Ohio, has way of getting un-
der the hides of humbugs better than
almost any other man in public life. 1t
is interesting to note how he punctured
the "Windbag from Cumberland as
Senator Wellington is now being called.
He made Wellington very angry. and all
that he could do was to call Grosvenor
can old fool and an ass OF course
everyone Understands that calling names
is not argument. Wellington then goes
off and indulges in abuse of President
Mckinley, and i'll his peculiarly Well
ingtonian style, challenges the President
to refute certain statements that he has
made, just as if the President of the Unit
ed States could descend to handy words
with politician who has left the repub-
lican party because he was dissatisfied
with the patronage. One of the amazing
things about Wellington is how he eyer
came to the front. 1t can only be ex-
planned from the fact that when the re-
publicans threw off the democratic yoke
in Maryland, they took up the first man
that came to the surface in that work
and this was Wellington. Wellington
disagreed with the republican governor
of Maryland, and contributed his mite
towards defeating the candidate last fall
because the governor would not be abso-
lutely controlled in his appointments by
Wellington's dictation.

Stewart deserts him. Stewart was one
| of the first republican senators to leave
the republican party on the silver qnes-
ton. He was out ofthe republican party
long before Dubois, Teller, Pettigrew,
Towne and others, who make up the sill
yer republican organization, ever thought
of leaving. Stewart cannot stand the
scuttling policy, and he has got lot Of
friends throughout the western states
who are likely to follow him But long

determination to oppose Bryan. there
has been rapid revolution in the former
silver states in favor Of the republicans,
and It was giving the democrats great

raj in this city is soon to be the scene
of one of the most notable events in the
history of the Roman Catholic church
IN the west. In the presence of promi-
nent prelates and priests from all parts of
this country and numerous laymen of
note, Right Rev. John J. Keane, formerly
rector ofthe Catholic University at Wash
ington and Archbishop-elect Of the arch
diocese of Dubuque, will receive the
pallium, the insignia of his new rank, at
the hands of Cardinal Gibbons, Arch.
bishop of Baltimore. The exact date of
the ceremony has not been announced,
but it is regarded as certain that it will
take place early next month. The local
clergy are now making arrangements
for the ceremony. The programme is
practically completed Invitations have
been sent to nearly all of the Bishops and
Archbishops in the United States, Canada
and Mexico. and in addition to large
number of American prelates, it is ex-
pected several Canadian and Mexican
dignitaries of the church will be present.
The ceremony will rival in pomp and
splendor any thing of the kind eyer seen
in this country. The sanctuary and al
tars will be ornainented with the choicest
flowers and plants and illuminated by
hundreds of lights, which, with the bril-
liant vestments of Archbishops Nartinelli,
Ireland, Feehan and others and the scar
let robes of Cardinal Gibbons, will make
up church picture seldom seen in this
part of the country. The grandeur Of
the spectacle will increase from the en-
trance Of the procession of prelates and
clergy through the proceedings incident
to comforting the pallium, which will be
preceded by the celebration Of pontifical
| high mass, until it reaches its climax in
the bestowal of the papal benediction up
on the entire assemblage kneeling,
which will be pronounced by Archbishop
Martinelli, standing in front of the high
| altar. The sermon will be preached by
Archbishop Ireland. The musical feat
ures of the program will be entirely in
| keeping with the character of the cere-
monies, and will be very impressive.

Bruner addressed the public at Grosteins S
hall last night. A rally was organized at
1880 and procession was formed on
Main street, headed by the Lewiston
band. A long line of citizens marched
to music, amid brilliant display of fire
works up and down the street, forming an
escort for the speakers on the return past
the Raymond house.
The hall was crowded when the pro-
cession entered. A dozen prominent cit
izens and local candidates took places
upon the stage with the distinguished
guests The meeting was presided over
by County Committeeman I. N. Smith.
The band played Columbia, and chorus
of ten little girls, accompanied by two
standard bearers, marched upon the
stage and sang America.
Judge Standrod, the republican candi-
date for governor, was then introduced
by Mr.. Smith. He spoke earnestly and
dispassionately for an hour on general
political issues. His argument was
strong, logical and convincing without
attempt at oratorical effect. His con-
clusions, supported by figures, and his
vivid examples, were indisputable
This impressive speaker exemplifed the
candor and power of the republican
party as an agency for the promotion of
commerce, intelligence, civilization and
liberty in way that appealed to every
mind. He went through the whole range
of political issues of the campaign.
Judge Standrod impressed the large
audience with the idea that he is
competent to serve the people in the
high Office of governor of Idaho. He is
lawyer of fine ability, business man
of wide experience. He is conserv-
tive in business and politics and altogether
man who will honor the state as its
chief executive.
After Judge Standrods address the au-
dience was entertained by music. The
republican glee club sang some cam
paign selections in an entertaining man
ner. A piccaninny song by little Mary
Washburn, in cork and costume, was
loudly applauded.
i Hon. P. M. Bruner of Haley was then
introduced in pleasing little speech by
Chairman Smith. Mr.. Bruner is an ora
tor of wide reputation. His speech was,
perhaps, the most fiowery and eloquent
that was ever delivered in Lewiston. He
was in good voice and good spirits and
his friends say he appeared at his best.
His beautiful figures of speech, descrip-
tive of the wonders of Idaho, thrilled
every listener. His high praise for the
women voters in consideration of their
political power for good was a strong
feature. His manner Of treatment of the
opposing party was not conservative like
that of Governor Standrod. He ridi-
culed the old democratic party in sting
ing satire and showed up Bryan in Bryan
style.
Mr.. Bruner is candidate for the state
senate from Blaine county on the repub-
lican ticket. He is recruit from the
fusion forces. He comes with as much
vigor as party pioneer to the old party
harness. Every citizen who heard him
last night will be filled with admiration
for the party he extolled so brilliantly.
Mr.. Bruner made votes in Lewiston for
the grand old party. He will long be re-
membered for this brilliant address in
Lewiston.

In His Judgment, for Quo yvarranto
Proceedings, Unless Validity of
the Charter Is Seriously
Questioned.


Unless Attorney General Douglas can
be convinced that the city of St. Paul
needs an official vindication of its new
charter, Mr. P. L. GetchelPs chances for
enl1sting the aid of the state in his ef-
fort to hold onto a fat salary seem very
slim.

general yesterday. Mr. Douglas was in
disposed to take part Officially in any
dispute between rival claimants for the
Office of chief of police
Walter Chaplin pressed the contention
that 1t was desired to have the state,
through tie attorney general, begin que
Warranto proceedings in order that the
general question Of the validity of the
new charter might be brought into court.
AT the close Of the conference the at
torney general said that he had reserved
his decision until today He stated how
ever, that he would not lend the name
OF the state to quo Warranto proceedings
for the personal ends of Mr.. Getchell.
II, on further investigation of the ques-
tlons raised by Mr.. Chaplin, he was con-
Vlnced that the validity Of the charter
was seriously questioned, IN any respect,
he would assist as far as possible in
speedy hearing Of the legal questions in
voIved, in any proper legal procedure.
There was no change of a material
character in the police situation yester-
day Chief OConnor and the other ap-
pointees of the police commission went
