MASS MEETING HELD.

Movement Endorsed by Post
master General Smith.

Philadelphia, June zs.-What promi-
SEES to be a fierce local political war
was begun at the Academy of Music
last night, when 5000 citizens in town
meeting nominated District Attorney
p. F. Rothermel. Jr., to be a candidate
for the Office of district attorney
against the candidacy of John Weaver,
who was nominated for that Office last
week by the Republican organization
of this city. The speakers of the even
ing severely arraigned the present city
administration and the state officials
A telegram from Postmaster General
Emory Smith was read and enthusiast
tically cheered. It was as follows;
Can you use my name as a vice
president? It is time for new declar-
alton of independence. Philadelphia
ought to rise in her might against job
beers in her public rights and the raw
ishing Of her sacred safeguards of
law"
The principal speech of the evening
was that of Col A. K. Mcclure, the re-
tired editor of the Philadelphia Times.
Col. Mcclure did not mince words. and
his arraignment Of the whole Repubu-
can organization, both city and state.
was extremely severe. District Attor-
ney Rothermel. he said, was nominated
by the Republican organization three
years ago and elected Now this same
organization controlled by the same
men, refuse him another term. They
have named a man. he continued, who
is untried and an unknown quantity.
Mr. Rothermel sent to prison ballot
box thieves. the masters of whom are
the political leaders of the city today.
He had also made it SO uncomfortable
for others of the same stripe that they
were living in distant lands and cannot
come home until Mr.. RotherTnel was
out of office. That was the reasons,
he said, why Mr.. RothermeI was not
named.
Col. Mcclure then told of Mr.. Weav-
er's unknown quantities and said:
Mr.. Weaver has been nominated by
these men because they have been
either assured or reasonably believe
that he will prosecute OF not prosecute
crime as their interests might demand.
The issue has been intensified by the
most bewildering public robbery ever
Witnessed in the state. and the men
most interested are Mayor Ashbridge.

Wayne MacVeagh Says the VOt-

Into the COntented and Discon-
tented Regardless of Name.

Boston, June 28.-The grafton on
ideals in Politics." which Wayne Mac
Veagh delivered before the Phi Beta
Kappa at its annual meeting at Cam
bridge has attracted unusual attention
Among other things Mr.. MacVeagh
said:
1T seems to me quite toe plain for
dispute that no single member OF
weaker race can be killed, no hut OF
such a race, however humble. can be
burned, no one can be selected for es-
pecial honor for his part in such pitiful
warfare without its helping to light the
torch which starts the fire by which
some hapless negro is to be burned at
the stake in our own country, not only
in defiance, but in contempt of law,
and all such acts must be surely fol-
lowed by greater insecurity for the
surplus wealth which the contented
class possesses
Now. It IS at least quite possible
that in the not distant future American
politics may transform Mr. Webster's
warning into history, for our electorate
is already beginning to be divided and
must, in obedience to the law of social
evolution, continue more and more to
be divided by that sharp cleavage which
separates those who are contented with
their lot from those who are discon-
tented with their lot

AN ENGLISH APPLE KING.
". NJ White, Of Liverpool, England
in Leavenworth Yesterday.

Leavenworth. Kas-, June 2s.-W. N
White. of Liverpool, England. was in
the city yesterday on business with
George Richardson concerning the
shipping Of apples to England this
year The Kansas apple has become
such a favorite with the apple trade of
England that English buyers are forced
to come here to secure a supply for the
years trade White is the head OF the
largest cold storage and fruit shipping
company in England, and il was his
intention to ship apples directly from
here in cold storage to England. He
spent the day with the fruit dealers In
the city, and may make arrangements
later for the shipment of apples in cold
storage.
1t is said that Leavenworth apple
dealers are afraid of the results IN
shipping SO far. The apples when once
in cold storage do not keep we'll when
exposed to the air, and it would be nee
essary to handle them several times in
loading and unloading They fear that
this would injure their keeping and that
the loss would be too great for profit
