GASTON IS NAMED
Enthusiasm in the Bay State
A Harmonious Con-
Venti0n.
(By the Associated Press.)

Boston, Mass, Oct. LIN a most har-
monious State Convention and with an
enthusiasm greater than has been display
ed in a gathering of the party in Massa-
chusetts in many years, the Democrats of
this State today nominated their leaders
for the campaign of 1903.
The candidates were nominated by ac-
clamation William A. CASTOR of Boston,
being named for Governor, and Richard
Olney Second, of Leicester for Lieutenant
Governor.
Charles w. Bartlett, of Boston, who was
chairman, in his speech, referred to Gen
eral Nelson 4. Miles as 'the foremost
American soldier living, dear to the hearts
of our people, idolized by his old COM
rades." This was received with applause
and cheers which compelled the speaker
to pause, and when he resumed the aud
fence remained quiet only long enough to
hear the words "has been disciplined,
snubbed, belittled and insulted by crowd
of fustian soldiers and sycophants sur
rounding the technical head of the army,
who was a chance participant in one small
fight, when it burst into another tre-
mendous tumult of hand-clapping and
shouts
The platform re-affirms the principles
of Democracy, declaring that the Demo
cratic party shall fight the trust oligarchy
now as it fought the political oligarchy
with Jefferson

chased The former indictment agains~
Green and Beavers charged conspiracy
against the United States.
The other two indictments were against
Scott Towers, who has charge of one of the
principal sub-postoffice stations in this
city. TIe is accused of having received a
commission on the sale of book type writ
ing machines to the government IN con-
travention of Sections 1871 and 1882 OF the
Revised Statutes, which prohibit officers
of employers of the United States from
receiving other compensation than their
salaries for procuring contracts from the
government or for services rendered.
The present grand jury will adjourn
finally next Monday, and the expectation
is that number of other postoffice in
dictments viii be returned on that day.
Immediately after receiving information
Of the indictment of Towers the Postmas-
ter General issued an order to Postmas-
ter Merritt, of Washington, dismissing
him from office.

NO FkEE HAND TO BE GIVEN.
The President Of Colombia Not to bs Allowed
to Eaks Treaty.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE State Depart
ment today received a cablegram from
Minister Beaupre, at Bogota, dated Sep
tember 80, stating that the committee of
the Colombian Senate which was appoint
ed during the first debate on the report of
the canal committee to prepare the ma
terial for the second debate has submitted
its report and it will be debated in a few
days. This report approves the rejection
of the treaty August 18th, but disapproves
the proposal to enact law to empower
the President to open up negotiations for
the constructions of canal under certain
specified conditions. The object, the cable
gram states, apparently is to leave the
Colombian government at liberty to nego-
tate a fresh treaty without restrictions
1t seems, says Minister Beaupre, that the
report will probably be adopted.
The news contained in the above cable
gram is not considered of very favorable
character at the State Department, indi-
eating as it does that the Colombian Con
gress will refuse to give the President of
Colombia q free hand in any future nego-
tiations which may occur.

SEEMS THEY ARE
TO ELECT TONIGHT
The Collapse of Saloon Aid
Scheme Appears Certain.
The POLICE JOBS PRIZES
The Effort 10 Use City Patronage to Ksep Open
Bar Rooms in Raleigh Will
Come to a Focus
Tonight.

The vote-getting scheme of the saloon
forces among the aldermen of Raleigh
seems on the eve of Knockout
Abe people of the city are indignant
that jobs on the police force should be
held out as prizes to voters against dis
pensary and for the saloons.
That certain members of the Board of
Aldermen are anxious to do this appears
certain, for men on the board who are
known as using their active influence for
the saloons are either non -committal
when asked if there is to be an election
tonight, or say Il don't know" Some are
roosting on the fence.
Four positions are to he filled tonight
by the city fathers. Those on the police
force are the positions made vacant by
the suspension of officer W. G.. Hunnlcutt,
the resignation of officer w. Fl. Dones
and the resignation of Captain G. M.
Walters In the market the vacancy IS
that of jantor, S. w. Lumley, having
been suspended by the mayor.
There are many applicants for the
vacant positions and the aldermen are
besieged by the men on the anxious bench
looking out for the plums. Among the
applicants are Messrs. T. A. Branahan,
]. T. Richardson, W. E. Austin, B. Win
ston, ]. w. Womble, S. N. Leeson, Walter
o. Scott, w. H. Dones, S. W. Lumley,
w. M. Hunter, W. A. Buck. Pat Watson,
c. ]. Hocutt, E. H. Hood and Henry Olive.
There will be only fifteen aldermen to
vote tonight Alderman Smith is out
of the city. The alignment of nine and
seven is apt to be broken and broken
badly tonight. The seven are known to
be ready for an election and up to yes
terday two of the nine were understood
to have the same opinion. Yesterday
third man said he thought that there
should be an election at once. If these
three vote as they talk then the result
will be ten for an election with Ave
against.
But if the nine caucus and agree, then
there may be no election, but certain it
| is that yesterday the plans for a post
ponement were dead as door nail. I'm
less there is new life put in the scheme
today there will be an election tonight.
Just watch and see how the vote
stands.
