proviso THAI after two attempts had been
made to fill such vacancy, both the sec

to perform the duties imposed upon 1t by
the resolutions. These features, by the
regular vote of fifteen to nine, were In
corporated in the plan for the primary.
when the resolutions, as amended, We're
finally placed upon their passage, discus
sion had about died out and two members
of the opposition were too tired even to
vote. The resolutions were carried by
vote of fifteen to seven. This done it ap-
reared that there was no other business
before the committee and a motion to adj
iourn was made and promptly carried.
The committee had then been in session
about two hours.

MIR. LaRoche said that this objection

PRIVATE PENSION BILLS.
Livingston's Greene and Gaynor
Resolution on the Table.

LivingstOn's Greene and Gaynor
Resolution on the Table.
Washington, April 27.-The House broke
all records to-day by passing ninety-on
private pension bills. Among them was
one granting $40 a month to the widow of
the late Col. John M. Stotsenberg Of tho
First Nebraska, who was killed In the
Philippines.
The conference report on the Hawaiian
government bill was adopted, 1888 to ia,
and the bill now goes to the President.
Saturday, May 10. was set aside for re-
ceiving the statue Of Gen. u. S. Grant
presented by the @. A. II.

OPPOSED THE REPORT.
Mr.. Collins Fight Against Its Adop-

tiOn.
Mr. Collins said that he hoped the COM
mittee would not pass the resolutions as
they had been offered. 1t was wrong in
principle that the Democratic Executive
Committee of the county, every member
of which was an avowed partisan of one
or the othere candidate for solicitor gem
eral, should be managers of the election; 1t
was unjust and unfair that the purging
of the registration list should be conhded
10 Subcommittee, a majority of which
were avowed and bitter enemies of Mr..
Osborne. No matter what the intention
OF the trainers of the resolutions had been,
said Mr. Collins, the resolutions spoke for
themselves and they did not provide for
a talr primary. The matter of purging
the registration list ought to be confided
to some body of impartial men. 1.-The o an
contemplated" concluded Mr.. Collins. for
The time, lis mistake, it's wrong, it's un-
fair and unjust and the resolutions ought
not to pass"
There was some cursory discussion on
the motion, a request from Committeeman
LETTER that the resolutions be voted on by
sections and then Mr.. Collins got the floor
again. He started by saying be could not
believe that the ma ority of the committee
seriously intended to pass the resolutions
NSlls you wait anu see, SSlu commit
teeman Gleason, soto voice. Then posi-
bly, the whole thing has been arranged AMI
fixed beforehand" retorted Mr.. Collins,
but L wish to place myself on record as
opposing the plan from start to finish.''
AT this point Secretary j. F. Sullivan in
terrupted Mr.. Collins to read to him an ex-
tract from the resolutions adopted by the
Executive Committee on May II, 1896, in
reference to purging the list of voters.
This resolution provided that the Execu-
tive Committee, upon complaint filed by
either faction, should determine whether
or not a voter who had registered was
entitled to a place on the list These reso-
lutions had received in 1896 the strong and
earnest support of Mr.. Collins who had
advocated them with great energy and
ability. Secretary Sullivan wanted to
known how he could oppose now resou-
tons providing for the purgiug of the
registration list in practically the same
way. Mr. Collins confessed that he cou d
not defend his course on the ground of
consistency but stated that If the method
of purging the list was wrong in 1896, it is
wrong now.

GOING TO HAVE FAIR PLAY.
Talk of Dishonest Work Brought
on Sharp Talk.


on Sharp Talk.
"One thing" said Mr.. Collins, "ought
to be borne in mind by this committee.
We are going 20 have fair play. We
would like to have it at the hands of the
committee, but at any rate. and at all
costs, we are going to have it,"
This brought City Marshal John Power
to his feet. 81 am tired,'' he said, 'of
having Mr.. Collins insinuate that this
committee is doing or is going to do some
thing that is unfair. They" referring to
the Citizens Club, "choked us and choked
us well in 1896 Now Mr.. Collins is try
ing to create the impression that we are
not going to do what is right. Where in
the city can we get men to serve as
managers of greater fairness or respecta-
biity than the members of this commit
tee? What more can the minority ask
than that it have representation a the
various boXes?
Mr.. Collins explained that he intended
to make no attack upon Mr.. Power or
any member of the committee. He was
simply stating his objections to the reso-
lutions and to the primary for which they
provided. There was nothing personal in
the objections, other than that they were
founded in part upon the admitted fact
that the committeeman were StTOHSly par
tisan on one side or the other.
The discussion brought on an animated
colloquy between Messrs. Harry Willink
and John Juchter. Mr.. Juchter was
making some strong objections TO Mr..
Willink serving upon the subcommittee
that was to purge the registration list,
when Mr.. Willink interrupted the speaker
to ask if he had not been a member of
the Executive Committee in 1892, when
the committee undertook to purge the list,
and, moreover, provided managers for the
various precincts after such fashion that
at some of the boxes the Liberal Club had
no representation at all.
Mr. Juchter said he was unable to re-
member that far back, but. at any rate,
he was trying now to do what was best
for Democracy and whenever he had act
ed IL had been fairly. "Fairer than you,
Mr.. Willink, "he said, indcat ting his oppo-
nent with his finger.
"Why they tell me- Mr.. Juchter" said
Mr. Wlllink, that when you were man
aging a primary down here in the Fourth
district, you had TO jump out of a window
to escape the fury of some of the boys
that were on your trail and who claimed
you weren't giving them fair show

AGAINST HARRY WILLINK.
Mr.. Lamotte Wanted His Name TAX
en- From subcommittee.

Committeeman Lamotte moved that Mr..
Willink's name be stricken from the sub
committee appointed by the resolutions,
to purge the registration list and LOOK
after the election. 1T is well known, -
he said "that Mr.. Wilhnk Is a bitter
enemy of Mr.. Osborne, and think 1t
would be fairer to leave the purglng of
the list to Mr.. Sullivan and Mr.. LETTER. D"
This motion was seconded, placed on Its
passage and lost, receiving the votes or
the nine members of the Citizens Club
on the committee.
Mr.. A. NJ. Letter offered as q substi-
tute to the clause of the resolutions, pro-
viding that the members of the commit

NEW ERA OF PROGRESS.

We make no apology for devoting so
much of our space to the reports of
the Baptist State convention. It's
work is the chief event of the past
week in the capital and its delibera-
tons have a deep interest not only
for the 100000 Baptists in the State,
but as well for the people of all
churches. The session in Raleigh,
which virtually closed last night has
been full of interest and profit, and
marks new era of progress in the
work of that aggressive denomination.
The convention was marked by a
liberal spirit toward the institutions
of the church. Over two thousand
dollars was raised for the Thomasville
Orphanage last night and over fifteen
thousand dollars for the Baptist
Female University on the previous
night 1t was resolved to raise $780,
900 for Education as Twentieth
Century Fund, and the spirit manifest
ed in the convention leaves no doubt
that it will be done.
