TWO FAMOUS CONVENTIONS
Republican Leaders at Minneapolis
and Democrats at Chicago in 1892.
POLITICAL HISTORY IN MAKING
CIeveIand's Third Campaign and Sec
Ond Election to the Presidency
Start of Peoples Party
at Omaha.

The tenth republican national convention
was called to order in the Industrial Elk
position building at Minneapolis, Mimi,
June Z, 1892, by James ). Clarkson, chair
man Of the republican national committee.
Three days before James Gillespie Blaine,
secretary of state under President Har-
rison. recognized candidate for the nomina-
ton, had in a CURLY worded note which
permitted no answer save that of accept
ance without regrets, resigned from his
hlgh office. The resignation on the eve
OF the conventions meeting was the start
ling and dramatic incident OF the ante
convention period, 1t was at once inter
preted by both friends and foes as an an
nouncement that the man whose name had
been presented to four republican conven-
lions was again a candidate for the repub-
lican presidential nomination.
The friends Of President Harrison de-
nounced the action as reasonable, de-
claring that II Blaine still cherished such
ambitions he should have retired earlier
from the cabinet. Blaine's friends defended
his course and when the delegates gathered
i'm Minneapolis the opposition to Harrison
had, despite the hardness of the resigna-
ton. assumed such strength that Blaine
supporters gained control Of the preliminary
organization and J. Sloat Fassett Of New
York, an opponent Of Harrison, was named
as temporary chairman.
Party strife,
Very early in the course OF the proceed
ings the charge was made that the con-
ventlon was packed with Harrison office
holders. 1t was openly asserted that out
OF $50 Harrison delegates. 1872 were com
missioned officeholders. and that as many
OF these were from the south, they repre-
scented no republican constituency. That
the charge was not g%rOundless was shown
in the fact that Of eighteen delegates from
south Carolina, eleven were officeholders
and that Georgia sent twenty-five office.

FARRELL DENIES HE
SAID HE WORKED FOR
McCARTHY'S ELECTION

When asked yesterday to express an
opinion on the Abbott disclosures re-
garding F1annery, Chief Martin said:

to comment upon the case from the
fact that Harry P. Flannery is the pres
ident of the board of police commits

shall positively refuse to make any
statement"
The chief sent for Detective Sergeant
John L. Farrell yesterday morning
when he read in a morning paper that
Farrell had stated in an interview that
he had done some work during the
campaign for the mayor. For any po-
nceman to take any part in politics is
breach of the rules and regulations
Farrell denied that he had made any
such statement or that he had taken
any part in politics since becoming a
member of the force. What he did say
was that his friends had worked for
Mccarthy during the campaign. The
chief instructed him to make report
to that effect, which he did. and il will
be laid before the commissioners for
them to discuss.
Farrell persists in his denial that he
CNcI saw ADDOlI ana declares IndL the
alleged interview between him and Alb
bolt in Flannery's saloon is a tissue of
falsehoods.
1t was known around police head
quarters long before the changes in the
detective department were made by
Chief Martin that Farrell would be
made detective sergeant and that he
would be assigned to the bunko detail
That was common talk. and when it
was confirmed later the knowing ones
smiled Farrell was made a partner of
Detective Sergeant Tim Bailey, sup
planting Detective Lambert. The 9TH
ers on the bunko detail are Detective
Sergeant Thomas F. Burke and De-
tective William ]. Cavanagh and De-
tective Sergeant George Graham and
Detective George Mclaughlin. Nc
Laughlin was assigned to the detective
department a few days ago.
There was no meeting of the police
commissioners yesterday afternoon as
there was no business to lay before
them. Notice to that effect was sent
out by Secretary Sicily last Monday
night after the adjournment of the reg
ular meeting.
