But His Friends Fail to Nominate Him for
Senator-Pith of the Platform.
On naming the man for senator the
Johnson men were divided among
themselves. Mayor Johnson and ex-
Representative Lentz have been very
close personally and politically for
years, but almost intensely bitter feel
ing existed between them at this CON
ventiOn, at least on the part of LentZ,
who openly accused johnson of favor
ing for senator a man who had voted
against Bryan. The Zimerman men
had intended voting for Clarke. the
johnson candidate for senator. as they
said he represented their conversative
views, but when Lentz opened the
fight on Johnson or the senatorial cam
didate the Zimerman men resumed
their obstructive tactics and voted for
Lentz for senator, thus driving the
johnson men to the second ballot
which nominated Clarke. The conven-
ton was as distinctly with Bryan on
national as with Johnson on state is
sues. The speeches of both Tempo
rary Chairman SaltZgaber and Perma-
nent Chairman Cooke insisted that if
the Democratic party is to change its
policy to suit the times the change
must be made by the friends of the
party and not by it's enemies. The
result of the convention leaves the
party organization IS to in the hands
of the Bryan-JohnsOn element for next
year. when delegates to the Demo
cratic national convention are to be
selected.

CONFESSES TO
WRONGING PRIEST
Conspiracy to Ruin Michigan
Clergyman is EX-
posed.

Bay City, Mich, Aug. 24.-Father
Matkowski, the prosecuted priest, for
merly rector of st. Stanislaus' church,
this city, and now in Grand Rapids,
was vindicated publicly. In accents
tremulous with emotion, Rev. Father
Kozlowski, his successor here, in
church during the service, read the
sworn deathbed statements of Mar
tha Cwiklinska, nee Kasiemska. omit
ting the names of the persons who had
cOnspired to ruin the venerable priest.
Father Kozlowsk thought it sufficient
TO give the facts.
The statement was a detailed ac-
count, in which woman told how she
was taken to the vicinity of Cass ave
nue. the evening before she startled
the community with her accusations
against Father Matkowski, and how Il
number of people joined in concoct-
ing the story she swaS to tell. Every
precaution was taken, apparently, to
make it certain that the unsuSpecting
priests reputation would be blasted
forever
Though this story was given little
credence, the plot was successful in
driving the venerable pastor into leav-
ing the city and the congregation for
which he had done so much. Years
rolled by. and while a cruel disease
was eating away her life, Martha
Cwiklinska repented. The suppression
of the names of the guilty persons is
credited TO Father Matkowski.

VICTORY FOR FUSION.
Result of the Democratic and POpuIist
Conventions I'm Nebraska.

Omaha. Neb., Aug. 27.-The result
of the Democratic and POpulist cOnven-
tions is generally accepted as COM
pIete victory for the fusion forces of
the state, as opposed to the middle
readers. The ante-conventiOn talk of
opposition to fusion and to the Kansas
City platform resulted only in an echo.
That came in the POpulist convention,
when G. Q. Defrance, delegate from
Lincoln. moved that the convention APP
prove the Denver conference.
Another delegate at once moved that
the question be referred to the nation
al convention of 1904. The latter mo-
ton prevailed after a brief debate. The
Populists readopted the previous ma
tional platforms and the Democrats in
dorsed the Kansas City declaration.
The Democrats also indorsed the state
ticket nominated by the Populists.

sNUBBED BY MICHAEL DAvITr
Who Denounced Him in the Grand Pacific
Hotel Mt Chicago.

His arrest was the indirect result of
the action of a prominent Irish Wis
itor, Michael Davitt. who met Lynch
ahaun at the Grand Pacific hotel sew
eral months ago and when the lat
ter extended his hand in greeting. pub
licly denounced him and called for
the police. Lynchahaun fled from the
hotel. The incident, however, called
attention to his presence in Chicago.
and put the officers on the track, final
ly resulting in his capture.
Unusual energy and relentlesSness
was shown by the British authorities

hind that circumstance is said to be

is alleged to have retaliated upon the
states principal witness, Agnes Nc
Donneu, by attempting her murder In
County Mayo, Ireland. He escaped
under suspicious circumstances, was
reCapJuTed ana ldSi september again

Lynchahaun is of good family and it
is said powerful influence brought
about cOlluSion that made his escape
possible. Chicago sympathizers are
credited with having furnished him
with financial support and he made
Chicago his hiding place until his eX-
posure. The detectives finally located
him by following his wife and son
I'm their effort to join him.
At the local British consulate
knowledge of the details of the arrest
were denied on the grounds that the
New DIRK and Philadelphia consuls
were handling the case. At the Chi

grievances. One was the case of Mar

pany. On DelaneyS further complaint
that the company had loaded coal
mined by him during the strike for
which he said he had received no

complaint the board adopted the fol
lowing resolution. I'm the ease of in
side employees at the Oar Hill col
liery of Leisenring & Co. the dinner
hour shall he taken as desired by the
company, but if the employees are re
quired to work the dinner hour i'm
addition to the nine hours work they
shall be paid extra compensation
therefor
Another resolution adopted was as
follows: Resolved. That it is the
sense of this. board that Leisenring d
Co be reoupSted to use a dptachahl
receipt in connection with their pay
statement" This action was taken
because the men complained that the
statement made to them previous to

done and the amount due, was on the
same piece of paper as thee4receipt,
and had to be signed by them, leav-
ing no evidence in their hands.
