WINNIE TO DAVIDSON.
Asks Attorney General to Meet
 Him In Joint Debate.

Fort Worth, June 19.-Colonel R. NJ. Wynne has addressed the following letter to Attorney General Davidson:
 'I was greatly shocek and surprised to see the statement made in the spech opening your campaign for at torney general at Corsicana to the eff feet that I was in a conspiracy with the Standard Oil company, the Waters. Pierce Oil company and the Kirby Lumber company to capture the office of attorney general of Texas in the interest of unlawful combinations in order to protect them from the just penalties of the law in this state, and you further state that the headuuar- ters of my campaign is in St. Louis, with branch office in Texas, intimat- ing that my campaign expenses were being paid by unlawful combinations
 If those charges were true, I am not only unworthy to hold the high of flee of attorney general but any of flee in the gift of the people; indeed I am not fit to live in a free country Your speech was evidently prepared and your charges made with great de- UDefdIlOn, ana you SHOulu De Wiling to offer proof to sustain them. I do- nounce your charges as false and an effort to assassinate my character in order to further the interests of your candidacy. In view of your charges and this denial, one of us should re- ceive the condemnation of the people of this great state. If your charges are false, you should be driven from the attorney generals office by an outraged Democracy, for no man who would wilfully islander an honorable opponent is worthy of the support of a great people. You have made charg- es which I denounce as islanders, and the people should know the facts.
 'I hereby demand that you meet me in joint debate before the people of the state, and that you prove your charges to be true, otherwise I shall denounce you from one end of the state to the other, for he who will deliberately islander an honorable man In order to secure office must be act uated by other and different motives than those which prompt men to seek honorable preferment.
 "I would respectfully beg to know if you accept this challenge. Respect fully, K. M. WINNIE"

NO REDUCTION.
Resolution of Burke Defeated by the
 Rules Committee.

Chicago, June 1S.-The effort to se- cure a reduced representation of dele gates to national Republican conven- tions again has failed. By a vote of A to 17, the committee on rules eject ed the Burke resolution providing for such reduction, and also, by practical the same vote, tabled the Parsons sub- stitute. Representative Burke and his sixteen supporters announced that they would file a minority report.
 AS on Tuesday the main opposition came from the southern states. Ala bama, South Carolina. and Maryland bitterly attacked the resolution, the delegates from those states taking the same ground as their southern col leagues who spoke Tuesday that a re- duction in the representation would spell the disruption of the Republican party in the south. They had the sup port of General Powell Clayton, na- tional committeeman and delegate from Arkansas, who maintained that the resolution was simply a proposi- tion to cruelty the colored man, and divide his raiment among certain states north of the Mason and Dixon line. He argued that the negro was loyal to the Republican party, but if he cast the enemy" there was nothing left to him. but to make the best terms he could with those to whim he had been consigned.
 The Democratic party will take every negro vote it can get, he said, and whenever the negroes commence to vote the Democratic ticket the Dem ocratic party will count their votes north and south.

RUFF TO FACE JURY
ON TROLLEY CASE
Trial of CRATER Set for July Is
Despite Vehement Protests
of His Counsel

The trial of Abe Ruef for bribing
one of the supervisors to vote for the
trolley franchise will begin on Wednes
day, July 15. Over the repeated pro-
tests of Henry Ach, Ruef's chief coun-
sci, this date was fixed by Judge Law
Tor yesterday afternoon. The three
indictments returned by the Mcfarland
grand Jury, charging the bribery or
Supervisors Coleman, Furey and
Nicholas, Were the cases set for trlal.
District Attorney Langdon will notify
Ruefs counsel next week upon which
charge 1T is proposed to try the boodler.
The people are willing and des1r-
Gus to have these cases set for trlal
at the earliest possible date" said
Langdon when the cases were called.
Ihe calendars are crowded, and we
wish to make every effort to clear
them as soon as we can. We want to
try Ruef at the first date convenient
to the court"
Ach was ready with an objection
that Ruef had not demanded sever
ance from Calhoun and Ford for the
purposes of trial, but the record showed
that Calhoun and Ford had had the
cases separated on April l and the
lawyers objection was overruled.
When it came to fixing a date for
the trial of Ruef Langdon suggested
one week hence Ach made long
speech in opposition to this suggestion,
pleading that his associate, Attorney
Chapman, was absent, that Ruef had
been under great stress, that Ach him
self wanted a vacation, that the at
torneys wanted time to prepare Ruef's
defense, and other things. He asked a
months continuance.
The court feels" said Judge Lawlor,
that 1T should with due regard to the
rights of both parties proceed to the
trial of these actions with all possible
dispatch. The cases are set for trial
at 10 a. m. Wednesday, July 10"
Ach made a protest when the district
attorney offered to notify him early
next week which of the three cases
would be tried first, but Judge Lawlor
considered Monday next early enough.
Ach, who appeared greatly put out
by his failure to stave off Ruef's trial
more than two weeks, charged after
ward that the motive of the prosecu-
tion was to have Ruef ordered into
custody If he should procure bail.
