lican organization have determined to
shut off the Mcclure income from the
Republican party he proposes to join
hands with the remnants of the old
insurgent organization, and have a
state convention all to himself, with
Wanamakerism supplying the funds
to finance the game, and seek to cut
down the Republican majority in the
coming state campaign.
Mcclure is the chairman of the so
called Union party's" subcommittee
which is running the independent
movement in the state, and George
E. Mapes, an old time Cleveland sup
porter is secretary of the committee
which has the matter in charge and
which is looking after the transporta-
tion of small fry and disappointed
politicians. who are willing to come
here and figure in an independent con-
vention provided their railroad fare is
paid and they are given money to pay
their board and meet other necessary
expenses"
TO BE A PACKED CONVENTION.
The original proposition was to hold
this Independent convention in Har-
risburg. but when a canvas Of the
state disclosed the fact that it would
be impossible to get any number OF
representative men to attend such a
gathering from the interior counties
the plans were quickly changed and
it was determined to seek the aid OF
the Wanamaker contingent in this
city and to have them hire enough
men to make fairly good showing
at the so-called convention.
1t is known that arrangements have
already been made to get large mum
her of politicians who have been dis
missed from various departments IL
this city to go as delegates" to thi:
fake convention and to endeavor tC
make it appear that there is a great
popular sentiment against the Repub
lican ticket.
There will not be one per cent o
the men in this convention who viii
not be there Tor selfish and persona
interest and who will not hope to gail
something through the defeat of tn,
Republican party.
TO NAME A DEMOCRAT.
There is no indication that Their
is to be any change from the origina
program for the nomination of tn,
Democratic candidate for justice o
the supreme court, Judge Yerkes. 70
that Office. and the selection of f. A
Coray, a Wanamaker insurgent of Lu
zerne for state treasurer. The Nc
Clure crowd still want to have tn
Democratic candidate for state treas
urer, Representative Palm. with1ray
from the fight in order that they ma
have Coray's name placed uDon tn
Democratic ticket, but it is not believe
that this can be accomplished.

Unknown to Women.

Every woman should read, without fail,
the following paragraph She will learn
something about herself she never knew
before.
Thompson's Barosma is not only Won
derful kidney, liver and bladder cure, but
has particular advantage as a remedy
for Chronic Female Weakness, Palpitation
Of the Heart, bearing.down sensations,
Nervous Debility, Leucorrhea or Whites,
and Dropsical Swellings. Its peculiar ad-
vantage lies in the fact that it is both a
female regulator and kidney, liver and
bladder cure. The womb is situated back
of and very close to the bladder. A woman
having any pain or distress in the back or
side, at once attributes it to female weak
ness when many times her trouble is en-
tirely from the kidneys or bladder. Hence
woman making this grave mistake will
find a sure remedy in Barosma, for
whether she is suffering from womb dis
order or any disease Of the kidneys, liver
and bladder, Barosma will effect per-
manent cure. For this two-fold reason
Barosma is the best woman's remedy on
the market Thompson's Dandeloin and
Mandrake Pills should be used with the
Barosma, for the liver and constipation.
They are purely vegetable and do not
gripe.

MCCLURES GAME
On Old Politicians Desire For Re
venge Upon Republican Leaders,
TO HOLD BoLTINe CONVENTION
Wansmakerism Called Upon To HELP
Out Desperate Attempt To lnjur,
The Candidates on the Republican
State Ticket.
Special Correspondence)

Especial Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Sept 3.-Colonel Alex
ander K. Mcclure, who has been a
member of every political party that
has had an existence during the last
half century, excepting, of course, the
Prohibition party. has determined tc
hold an independent state convention
in this city on the 18th OF September
Colonel Mcclure is just now on the
rampage and is out for revenge. He
is disgruntled because the Republican
organization of this city refused to
renominate his brother-in-law, Simon
Gratz, for the lucrative position ol
member of the board of revision Of
taxes. Mr.. Gratz has been a member
of this board for a number Of years
and under his administration there
have been many complaints regarding
the determinations in favor of the
wealthy classes in the assessments OF
real estate for the purpose of taxation
WHY MCCLURE KICKS.
The Republican leaders of this city
determined to reform present condi
tions and they had bill passed at the
last session of the legislature repeal
ing the.act under which the members
of this board were appointed by the
board of judges, and requiring that
these positions shall, hereafter, be
filled by elections by the people
Mcclure was intensely disappointed
over this move and he swore ven
gance against the Republican party
leaders in this city and in the state.
He had been petted and favored by
the Republican organization for q
number Of years and he seemed tc
have gotten the idea that he must
have everything he wanted without a
question being raised.
A CASE OF BROTHER-IN-LAW.
Another brother-in-law of Mcclure
Alfred Gratz, almost cost the Repub.
lican party the loss of the Office OF
register of wills some years ago when
he was forced upon the Republican
party as its candidate by the late
James McManes, to oblige Mcclure
who was. at that time, at the head
of the Philadelphia Times, and who
worked all parties to accomplish his
personal ends.
There was popular revolt against
the Gratz nomination and he only won
out at the polls by the aid Of Demo
Gratis who believed in McManes and
who sold out their party nominee and
gave Gratz his election by a misera.
bic plurality Of less than 1000, when
any strong candidate should have had
10000 majority at least.
Now, Mcclure, although it is about
time for him to retire from the po.
litical arena, demands the reelection
of his second brother-in-law for the
board of revision of taxes in this city,
and because the leaders OF the ReDub.

THE ORGANIZATION HEALTHY.
The Republican organization in the

At the recent Republican state con.

upon the condition of the state
finances. and which gave due credit to
Governor Stone Tor the indNs ry ana

Republican state platform. and in re-

made a presentation of the facts and

Peter Mitchell, colored, was
found eating grass in ST. Philip
street yesterday morning by po-
liceman Quinn. The negro was
down on all fours devouring the
tough johnson grass and weeds
that grow SO luxuriantly in the
front yard at st. Philip and Van>

relish.
The policeman took Mitchell to
the Station House, where the
prisoner was locked up until the

Tried to Kill Jackson.
An Account of the Attempted AS,
sassination of President Jack

New York Times, headed "Third
Attack on Presidents" in your
issue of today, l find these words:
"To Americans Llnceln's as
sassination came as a new ex-
perience in the national history.
Until then no attempt bad ever
been made upon the life of any of
the fifteen Chief Magistrates who
preceded him."
This is a mistake. On the 3Oth
day of January, 1885, 40 attempt
was made to assasslnate Preside dent
Jackson. 1t was made while the
President was attending the funsr-
al services at the Capitol at Wash
ington of the Hon. Warren r.

name of the man VINO attempted

Magistrate was Richard Lawrence,
a printer, residing in Washington

Chief was 50 characteristic of
"Old Hickory" that | AN sure |

some length an account of the oc
currence:

da to reach his carriage at the
steps of the portico, advanced to-
ward the spot where Lawre. ce
stood-who had his pistol con
cealed under his caat-and when
the President approached within
two yard. and half of him the
assassin extended his arm and
levelled the pistol at the Presi-
dent's breast. The percussion
cup exploded with noise SD greut
that several witnesses supposed
the pistol had fired. On the in
'tant the assassin dropped the
pistol from his right hand and
taking another ready cooked from

at the President, who, ut the

energy, and would have executed

through the crowd, and was ut

pressing after him until he saw he

and rushing upon the assassin, he
