APPEALS FOR PAIR PLAY.

II was the fight over Cassidy that brought
out some Of the most bitter things that
were said in the executive session. Senator
McCarren, veteran Of a hundred fights,
protested with all the skill Of a practised
politician against resorting to such tactics.
He declared that IL the will Of the voters
40 plainly expressed was overridden by the
party in such a manner. the Democrats
would lose at least eight Judges in the dis
trict. He begged the men sitting before
him to save the ticket from defeat.
John B. Stanchfeld and william F..
Sheehan made similar appeals. Thomas
F. Byrnes, one OF the Brooklyn committee
men, told the men who we're running things
that they were committing political suicide.
If you turn out the delegates elected to
this convention the people will rise up and
smite you he said.
Mr.. Sheehan said that thu Democrats
who had worked for years to keep the party
together in the upstate districts were being
treated unfairly and that they would not
forget ii.
-You are deliberately breaking up the
party he said, when you throw out the
good men who have stood for years be-
hind the breastworks in these Districts
He pleaded for such men as John N.
Carlisle and Melvin Y. Hazen, both State
committeemen and both heading delega-
lions from their districts hat were to be
unseated. The Hearst members had little
to say except that IL had beer shown that
the upstate leaders who were being at
tackled had tried to down the Hearst senti-
ment in all sorts Of ways and therefore
should be sent back where they belonged.
These we're the districts in which a vote
was taken and the result:
First C~hautauqua, ~ 10 81; First Jefer-
son, n to p; Second jefferson, p to 81;
Fifth Monroe, 20 to %; First Nassau, 70 TO 20;
Sew cnteenth New York, 20 to 10; Nine
tenth New York, 20 TO 10; Thirtieth New
York, unanimous; Second Oneida. n to Fl;
First Onondaga, 81 10 Fl; Second Onon-
daga, u to Il; our districts in Queens, 20
N %: Second Rensselaer,, unanimous; First
Ulster, n to II.
The Murphy-Hearst men seemed to be
well satisfied with their work. The results
Of the voting spread around among the
angry Gro wd OF unseated delegates GU tside
and they vowed vengeance on the Hearst
men. After the COMMITTEES adjourned both
sides went TO work preparing reports TO
be presented TO the cow ention. The anti
Hearst men said they had little hopes OF
bringing about any different result, but
that tlAy would continue the light on the
Aoor. probably.

BRUTAL. SAYS CORD MEYER.
n etiring state Chairman Declares That
Political Dishonesty Ruled the Day.

Political Ruled the Day.
BUFFALO, Sept. 2e.-Cord Meyer. the
retiring chairman OF the State committee,
said after the committee on contested seats
had completed it's work at shutdown:
This is one OF the most brutal days
work ever lone in a Democratic State
convention. | have attended all the Demo-
cratic State conventions for the last thirty
years, have witnessed many contests, in
many Of which injustices were done for the
purpose Of controlling the organization
against my protest. In to-day's work Of
the committee on contested seats the wrongs
and outrages committed were for the pur-
pose Of controlling the convention and
nominating Hearst.
"In all my experience this is the first time
that delegates were wrongfully admitted
and the legally elected delegates turned out
for the sole purpose Of nominating a Gov
ernor. In Queens Bermel won over Cas-
sidy on primary day by over 5000, and yet
Bernel's twelve delegates were turned out.
In Nassau. the county I live in, there was
no justification for admitting the Hearst
delegation any more than there was for
admitting Cassidy's Hearst delegation in
Gu Gems. The committing Of these acts

BERMEL MEN WALK OUT.

The Bermel men Wake out Of the room
with disgust written on their faces. Wha
they said about Cassidy and the chances
the ticket would ave in Queens would Ill
a large book. The Cassidy and Bermel
factions gathered in the hotel and shook
their fists a. one another. Personal en-
counters were narrowly averted.
In nearly all Of the contests the anti
Hearst faction knew that they had no show.
Nevertheless, the argument went on all the
afternoon. This was for the purpose Of
enabling them to prepare a minority report
and TO carry the fight to the convention
and afterward to appeal to the people il
necessary, with the record to show what had
been done
When the committee went into executive
session at 4 O'Clock the delegates who had
come here with credentials and were to be
unseated gathered outside the door of the
| room to avail the result, which they knew
would be against them. Some Of them had
been coming to State conventions FOR years.
They got red in the face telling how they
had been treated. The big parlor outside
I the door held hundreds of men. Many Of
them came ont openly and said that they
were for Hughes. The Hearst men seemed
to nave disappeared. They had no need
Of waiting for the result Of the commiitttee's
deliberations.
The anti-Hearst men fought to the last
ditch. 1t did not do any good. Even when
it came to seating Hahn, in the Nineteenth
district, New York city, the cote was the
same, 20 to 10, though Hahn had run fourth
in a four cornered fight, getting about 500
votes

officers we're Cassidy men. They said they
had heard nothing abou a contest until
they had arrived in Buffalo. There was not
the slightest suggestion Of any triokery or
thuggery, they said, until now.
Cassidy spoke for himself. He shook his
curly locks at the crowd, banged on the
table with his fist and made a great scene.
He said that Bermel represented the McClel-
Ian faction and had the aid Of the police in
every district. He described the polls as
being manned by ar army OF Office holders
He told the committee that as q result OF the
fraud during the day there were riot calls

is the State committee going to recog-
nize as a delegate a man who ran on h Re
publican ticket last fsll?' he said. Il would
not be here if my opponents in this fight
we're honest Democrats"
The Bermel speakers said that Bermel
had been a member of the county committee
OF the Democratic party for eight years.
Daniel F. Colahan, who was the Tam
many spokesman, declared that this was
the only place where Cassidy could get a
hearing and that the fact that he had made
no such charges heretofore should receive
no consideration.
There was the greatest excitement while
this was being argued. p. J. Mara, who
aid he had beer a Democrat all his life.
shaking his fist at Cassidy, declared that
he had come to him some years ago and
offered him SIS, 200 IL he would support him
in Queens. There were charges and counte
charges Of a similar character. Before the
argument had preceded very far Chairman
Grady checked of the Bermel men who
were e~ndeavoring to be heard by calling the
next case.

the one-time home OF John Brown.
While the battle of Osawatomie was but
a skirmish when compared with the many

MISSOURI MEN AT MANEUvERS
National Guard of "show-Me" state

FORT RILEY, Kan. Aug. 9.-The troops
of the Missouri National guard had work
of "a maneuver nature today. The exercises
were in outpost and patroling duty. Be
fore this exercise commenced the general
was sounded and the Mlssourians struck
all of their tents and then pitched them
In the company streets. The troops had

ular troops will leave the camp of in
struction. Company H. Thirtieth Infantry,
commanded by Captain Edward c. Carey,
will leave for Fort Reno, Okl., where 1t
was stationed before coming to the camp
at Fort Riley. The reason for it's de-
parture is that typhoid fever cases have
become so numerous in that organization
that the chief medical officer of the camp
deems its presence a menace to the health
of the other organizations. In the last few
days Ave cases of typhoid fever have been
reported from this company while the
total number Of typhoid cases In the entire
camp is only ten.

FRISCO CARS STILL IDLE
Announcement of Coming of Strike
Breakers Puts Men in an
Ugly Mood.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2s.-The fourth
day of the street car strike found the dis
putting parties further apart than ever. The
refusal of the men to report for work and
the announcement of the corporation that
1t is bringing out Farley's strike breakers
contributed TO lessen the hitherto friendly
feeling existing between employer and en-
ploye. The car men declared they are not
disturbed by the coming of Farley's men.
They say that the nonunionists win en-
counter entirely unlocked for obstacles. The
railway oficials have thus far declined TO
say when they will attempt to begin operat-
ing their lines. Farley's men are expected
Saturday or Sunday.
At the various car barns the company has
its guards, and union men are on picket
duty. but the best Of order prevails.
CHICAGO. Aug. 3.-About 600 strike
breakers bound for San Francisco arrived
here today and left at once for the west.

RUSSIAN GIFT COMES TOO LATE
Liberal Papers welcome Land Grant.
but Question Its Ex-
pediency.

ST PETERSBURG, Aug. 2s.-The liberal
papers welcome the semi-official statement
made yesterday in behalf of the govern
ment to the effect that II would be a great
mistake to suppose that revolutionary ter
rorism will be met by terrorism on the
part Of the government and adding that
the cabinet intends to continue in the path
Of reform. But the papers plainly manifest
their distrust Of whether the ministry will
be able to master the situation by the pub
ncation Of the ukase providing for the dis
tribution OF land to the peasants. Some OF
the papers, however, hail the announce
ment as being distinct recession from the
position which the government took two
months ago, when Premier Goremykin re-
turned a nonpossumus to this demand on
the part OF Parliament. The Strana calls
attention to the fatality with which the
government surrenders always come too
late and says that had the appanases been
offered with the crown lands when Parlia-
ment raised the question It might have
present the paper doubts whether it will
greatly affect the situation.
The Rossia extols the ukase as being the
emperor's gift OF land to the people and
for which the latter should be thankful.

mission that his company had prepared

rates at every Office. as that would be
practically a physical impossibility.
