BRYAN.

Port Huron. Mich, May 1.-The first
State political convention OF the year IN
Michigan was held here to-day, when the
Democratic representatives from seven
ty-seven counties elected the delegates to
the National Convention and adopted con-
else resolutions emhcdyiEg their views on
the political issues Of the times. Three or
the four delegates at large were elected
unanimously, but the three-cornered fight
which ensued over election of the fourth
developed enough acrimony to quite offset
for the time being the harmony which
had prevailed NJ to that point. Following
are the delegates at large: Daniel J. Cam
pau, OF Detroit; Thomas E. Barkworth.
Of Jackson; Wellington r. Burt. Of Sagi-
nav; Rush Culver. OF Marquette.
In addition to his own unanimous cleo
ton az first delegate at large, State Chair
man Campau won an easy victory in the
selection Of the other candidates In the
State which he bad favored.
The platform adopted reaffirms the Chi
cago platform and instructs delegates to
cast the vote of the State for William J.

motion of General E. S. Otis, command

SHOT IN A STREET DUEL.

Jacksonville, Fla, May lin a street
duel in front of the government building
at 9:15 o'clock this morning between ex-
State Senator A. NJ. Williamson, editor
Of the Florida Journal, and c. w. STAN
zell, City Councilman, the latter was Sc
riously and the former painfully injured.
StanZell opened the firing, sending four
shots at Williamson, only one of which
took effect. Williamson then drew his re-
volver and fired twice at Stanzell, who
was running away from him. The first
shot missed, but the second struck him
in the middle of the back. The wound is
a serious one, but Stanzelrs physicians
cannot state yet whether it will prove IA
tai or not.
The shooting grew out of an editorial in
Williamsons paper. stating that Stanbell
had been bought by the Plant System for
$1,000 for his influence in the City Council.
Both men are prominent in State and
county politics, Williamson having at one
time represented Citrus county in the
State Legislature. There is considerable
excitement among the friends of both
parties, but nothing serious is likely to re-
suit,

Ex-Governor Bradley Argues tho Case
Before the Supreme Court OF APP

Washington May 1.-The Supreme
Court resumed it's hearing to-day in the
Kentucky Governorship case. Hon. W. o.
Bradley, former Governor Of that State,
being the only speaker. He appeared for
Governor Taylor. This, the first contest
the State had ever had over that office
would never have occurred. he said, but
for the Goebel law. He argued that Tay-
lors title was complete; that he was not
only de jure Governor. but de facto Gov
ernor as well. and that every step that

On the point of jurisdiction he contend
ed that the pending case is very similar
to that of Thayer VS.. Boyd, of Nebraska,
in which Jurisdiction had been assumed.
He met the argument of Governor Beck
hams counsel that an office was not
property, by quoting authorities to the
contrary. In a case like this the governor
ship there was no such thing as an ap-
peal to the people. The adjudication was
necessary.
Under the State Constitution the Legis-
1ature was nothing more than board Of
contest. This was special power and
it was limited by the Constitution. If
this limitation was transcended the act
was tyrannica1, and such the speaker
claimed the act of the Legislature in this
case to be. He challenged the method OBJ
served in drawing the board and lack Of
sufficient notice.
He argued that legislation had no juris-
dfction, alleging as one point the failure
Of the contest notice to state the ground
Of contest under the law. The Legisla-
ture's finding he attacked, as irregular
and void He closed with an appeal for
recognition by the court. The court took

THE MEAT INSPECTION BILL.

Berlin, May 2.-The Schlesische Zeitung
publishes to-day the terms Of the Meat
Inspection bill in the compromise form.
Canned meats and sausages are prohibit
ed entrance Immediately. Until the end OF
1903 fresh meats are permitted to enter
only in whole carcasses or halves, inc1ud-
ing the lungs, heart, kidneys and, in case
of cows the udder attached. The Bun
desrath can require other organs.
Prepared meats are allowed to enter
only when the manner of preparation ex-
cludes the possibility of danger to health
or when examination is still possible upon
importation. Pieces smaller than eight
pounds are not admitted, excepting hams.
bacon and entrails.
What will happen after 1903 Is left open |:
but If the Reichstag fails to regulate the
matter anew until then, the foregoing pro-
visions will continue in force.
The Local Anzeiger says 1t understands
that a considerable majority for the COM
promise is assured in the ReichstaS and
the Bundesrath.

way Of figuring how the Republicans

put their shoulders to the wheel and

The price of the victory will be much
larger and more constant effort from
the time the campaign opens until cleo

the same kind Of a fight they did In
1896. There should be no cessation In
their endeavor to elect their candidates,
and their application and attention to

be steady and unceasing. They should
go into the contest on the supposition
that hard work Is absolutely essential
to victory. The spirit of Republicans
this year Is of a most gratifying kind.

I have received along this line are to

I'm going over the list Of States that

certain to remain in the Republican
column. Besides holding our own IN
practically all the States that we car
