sents itself this season to ship
cotton to Houston factors. New
compresses and warehouses have
been erected convenient to water
and rail transportation
This market is

importance and popularity, and
justly so. The highest classifi-
cation, lowest charges, least de-
lay In making return* and the
lowest rate of freight from In-
terior points combine to bring
about the best results.

W arehouses, the largest and best
planned for rapid and economi-
cal handling of cotton in the
country, are eligibly located on

BUILDING A JAIL.
Pleasanton, Tex., Sept. 27.—County com-
missioners have been in session and ap-
proved the contract to build the new jail
at a cost of $19,000. The contractors broke
ground Monday for the building.
Amphion, a little village about due west
of Pleasanton, has a petition with about
two hundred signatures to it to present to
the county judge asking for an election
to move the county seat to Amphion. It
takes a two-thirds vote to move it. Pleas-
anton is not much scared over it.

The Oorsioana Man and the Arkansian of

and an Arizona Double.
Washington, Sept. 27.—[Special.]—The sen-
ate commerce committee, to which is re-
ferred the nominations of consuls, passed
on the case of John S. Gibson, jr., nom-
inated as consul at Guayamas, Mexico,
and recommended his confirmation. This
is one of two remarkable cases that have
occurred In the appointment of consuls.
The first one was in the case of the Behans.
Both were named J. H. Behan and one
was from Arizona and the other from
New Orleans. They both applied for the
same consulship on the same day and as
a consequence their papers got together
and mixed. The department, not knowing
there were two of them, appointed J. H.
Behan. He was the New Orleans man.
The delegation from Louisiana had not in-
dorsed him and went to inquire about it.
The Arizona Behan was here and Insisted
that, being indorsed by his people from
governor down, he was the man best in-
dorsed and entitled to the place. The New
Orleans Behan, not having the backing,
was scratched and the Arizona man given
the place. Then the New Orleans man
howled and wanted to go right oft and as-
sume the duties of the office. The matter
became exciting and amusing, but the Ari-
zona man got the plum, though the New
Orleans man had It in hand for a time.
This present case of John S. Gibson, jr.,
is something similar. John S. Gibson, jr.,
is a Corsicana man. He applied for the
place at Guayamas. He was recommended
by Senator Mills for the place. John S.
Gibson of Arkansas also applied for the
same place. He was recommended and in-
dorsed by the Arkansas delegation, and this
recommendation was filed In the papers.
As in the Behan papers the case became
mixed. The Texas man was appointed, but
on Mr. Mill's Indorsement, and this is the
fact of how Mr. Mills had "recommended
an Arkansas man." Mr. Gibson who was
appointed is a Texan and has always lived
at Corsicana.
ABSOLUTELY PURE
A LIVELY SCENE.
Washington, Sept. 27.—[Special.]—Never,
perhaps, in the history of the United States
senate has there been as severe language
used on the floor of that body or as much'
heat shown within Its walls as there were
to-day. Mr. Dubois of Idaho started the
row by making a speech favoring the adop-
tion of his resolution to postpone action on
the Voorhees bill till the states of Wy-
oming, Montana and Washington sent here
their full complement of senators to repre-
sent them.
Mr. Mitchell of Oregon, who fought
against the admission of the senators ap-
pointed by the governors of these states,
called the effort of Mr. DubolB a preposter-
ous one, stating that if the idea were adopt-
ed, whenever a senatorial seat became va-
cant by death or otherwise congress would
have to suspend all business until a gov-
ernor or legislature of a state saw fit to
fill the vacancy.
Then the warship, Billy Chandler of New
Hampshire, arose and in his usual vicious
way began to sneer at Mr. Mitchell. He
sarcastically alluded to that gentleman'-)
efforts to keep out of the senate the men
appointed to It by the governors of the
states mentioned, and still more sneeringly
alluded to the remarkable changes that
had occurred in the opinions of senators
within a short time as to the question of
the admissibility of such senators. He asked
Mr. Dubois to defer a vote on his resolu-
tion, stating that when the repeal of the
election bill or the tariff bill came up he
might be in favor of it. He was not pre-
pared to vote on it now, and again, If the
vote should appear to him as being proba-
bly close on the repeal of the Sherman
act, he might vote for the delay in order
to give these states, greatly interested In
this question, a voice in the matter.
He was followed by Mr. Wolcott. For
some time, If not for all time, this
young senator has manifested a disposi-
tion to make things lively for the opposi-
tion to him.
He has always been an aggressive law-
maker and to-day he was especially so. He
gave notice that the states alluded to
would have plenty of time to elect their
senators at called special sessions before
the pending measure came to a vote.
Having relieved himself of this prophecy
in a most tempestuous manner he turned
to the subject of the cruel and unusual
labors inflicted on the senate by the repeal
men by forcing a session from 11 o'clock
in the morning till 6 In the evening. Then
he said that he and his side had been ad-
vised that the repeal men had agreed to
force the sessions next week from 11
o'clock In the morning till 12 o'clock at
night. Waxing wroth and eloquent, he
said that the steerers from the democratic
and republican side were each engaged in
rounding up his particular side for this
move. He alluded to their being close to-
gether at present. It happened that Al-
drich and Gorman were close together on
the democratic side and had just been talk-
ing. Other remarks made by him pointed di-
rectly to these two. He also alluded to the
remarkable change In the votes of
certain senators on the admission of the
senators from the states mentioned, and
Intimated that these charges were made
to keep out said senators because they
would vote against the repeal of the Sher-
man law. His remarks were general, but
everybody knew whom he wa3 aiming at.
Mr. Gorman e ose and asked if he was
referred to as one of the steerers and one
of those who had changed his vote. While
Mr. Wolcott was speaking all eyes were
turned on Messrs. Gorman and Voorhees.
In the press gallery the game of Mr. Wol-
cott was thoroughly understood. It was
a part of that played by Mr. Stewart in
his assault on the president. Everybody
knew it was Intended to get Messrs. Voor-
hees and Gorman mad and provoke a row
which would inure to the benefit of the
anti-repeal side. Certainly nothing can in-
jure that side now, as far as detracting
from its strength is concerned, is the idea
of the anti-repeal men. Mr. Voorhees is
a man full of blood and he has chafed
under the Intimations and insinuations
thrown out from time to time by the anti-
repeal men. Time and time again he has
by innuendo been charged with being under
the domination of the New York bankers.
He has fretted under it, but his judg-
ment and the counsel of his side have kept
him quiet, though boiling over. It was
thought this attack of Mr. Wolcott on him
aa a turncoat for advantage In this fight
would bring him Into a wrangle, but ho
sat pale with anger, beating a tattoo with
his lingers on his desk. Everbody
watched him and Mr. Gorman, The lat-
ter was white, for the first time the gal-
leries saw him discomposed. His lips were
drawn tightly and he did not look the ac-
customed Gorman. When Mr. Wolcott
closed he arose. No one expected him to
do so. Everybody thought Voorhees would.
Mr. Gorman began slowly. As he pro-
gressed his color becanu- sea green. He was
furious, but all saw that his self-command
had not departed. He explained his vote
on the seating of the senators from the
northwestern states. Then he said, with a
slowness and emphaals almost painful, that
he had been a senator for twelve years;
that he had been in and about the senate
since he was 12 years of age; that he had
seen all the great men »f the country who
had figured in the senate for forty years,
and heard them at,times when the most
vital questions and the life of the republic
had been discussed, and seen broad differ-
ences discussed and witnessed acrimony
run high, but never before had he seen a
senator arise in his seat and repeat for the
basis of his speech the information
derived l'rom eavesdroppers and key-hole
listeners. He said this in a manner that
was terrible. The weight of his words was
aided by the deathly silence that hung over
the whole house. The scene was in the
highest degree dramatic. Wolcott was un-
easy, but anxious to have his say.
Mr. Aldrich made remarks in which he an-
nounced his intention to confer with any-
body, at any time, in ordi-r to save the sen-
ate from the humiliation uf allowing a mi-
nority In it to stand In the way of legisla-
tion.
Mr. Wolcott replied and said he had not
mentioned the name of Gorman, and that
gentleman had very quickly put the shoe
on himself. He made a sounding talk, but
the fact could not be concealed that he had
made the attack on Gorman and Voorhees.
Then the debate on the main question pro-
ceeded.
About the hour of adjournment Mr. Teller
tackled Mr. Aldrich and poured hot shot
Into him. He was personal in the extreme,
following up the line of tight adopted by
Mr. Wolcott. Mr. Aldrich was not present,
and so there was no reply. Mr. Aldrich
may come back at Mr. Teller to-morrow.
The chances are, therefore, that the real
fighting, unusual In the senate because it Is
personal, has just commenced. One amus-
ing thing in the whole thing was the anxie-
ty of Mr. Stewart to take a hand in the
row. Once or twice he chipped In, but his
efforts were in vain.
SITUATION IN.THE HOUSE.
Washington, Sept.'27.—'[Special]—Congress-
man Morse of Massachusetts wanted to
have put in the Record to-day the corre-
spondence between himself and Commis-
sioner of Pensions Lochren. The correspond-
ence Is a rather personal and spiteful one,
and it has agitated the Massachusetts man
for some time. Objections were made to
Its insertion in the Record because of its
character, and Mr. Morse then proceeded
to organize a filibuster on his own account.
He made the point of no quorum, and kept
matters at a standstill for several hours,
but finally the body got 'own to business
and the regulation speeches on the pending
question, the repeaJ of the election laws,
were made.
The house really aeems to take but little
Interest in this repeal bill, congressmen
having absented themselves on a kind of
vacation, because there is really no neces
sity for their remaining here. Only those
whose homes are remote from Washington
or whose constituents demand a talk from
them are present. When the republicans
were finally cornered and could filibuster
no longer, and the day was set for a vote-
the 10th of October—all Interest ceased,
because It Is a foregone -conclusion that
the law will be repealed in that body and
the whole thing will be of no interest until
It reaches the senate, which, from present
appearances, has assumed the character
of a charnel house for all legislation.
QUERY AS TO COMPROMISE.
Washington, Sept. 27.—There seems to be
little probability of compromise on the i
ver repeal bill question, according to a
morning paper. It says an agreement
might be reached but for the forbidding af-
titude of President Cleveland. Continuing,
it says: "Senator Voorhees, the one most
likely to know the president's condition of
mind at this juncture, when compromise
is being urged, said in reply to a direct
question: 'I have not seen the president
within two weeks, nor have I heard from
him in relation to the silver question. I do
not believe he has authorized any step in
the direction of compromise, and yet I
would not say that he has not. I know
nothing of a compromise.' "
Senator Gorman said there was no com-
promise as far as he was concerned. When
asked If he knew anything about compro-
mise he did not answer.
COINAGE COMMITTEE MET.
Washington, Sept. 27.—[Special]—There
was a meeting of the house committee on
coinage, weights and measures to-day. No
tice for the meeting was sent nut last
evening and much interest was manifested
in the object. It developed in a resolu-
tion Introduced In the house calling on the
secretary of the treasury to iiform con-
gress why he had failed to purchase the
silver required by law to be purchased each
month for the months of July and August.
Your correspondent asked one of the com-
mittee what was intended by the inquiry,
and his intimation was that It was only
to whoop things up generally.
FAILED TO PASS,
Washington, Sept. 27. — [Special.] — Mr.
Hood of Parker county, who came to Wash
ington to secure a place in the treasury
department, has been under a close exam
Inatlon for a day or two. He was recom-
mended for appointment by Senator Mills
and the treasury department sent for him
for examination. Examinations for the of-
fice for which Mr. Hood was to be ap-
pointed embraced bookkeeping and the like,
He Is a lawyer and failed to pass such an
examination as would give him the ap-
pointment. He is a member of the legis-
lature.
STATE BANKS SUPERVISED.
New Orleans, La., Sept. 27.—Representa-
tive Oates of Alabama has been notified
to appear before the committee on banking
and currency next Friday to argue his
bill repealing the 10 per cent tax on state
banks. Mr. Oates' bill differs from all
others on the subject in that it proposes
to leave reconstructed state banks under
federal supervision.
DELAY IN CONFIRMING.
Washington, Sept. 27.—[Speclal]-The com-
mittee on commerce still have the nomina-
tion of Mr. Mobley as consul to Acupulco
In hand. Just what will become cf It no
one knows, but from what can be learned
outside of the committee there is some
trouble in store tor him as far as his rec-
ommendation for confirmation Is concerned.
MUCH GOLD RECEIVED.
Washington, Sept. 27.-Three million dol-
lars in gold was received at the treasury
from the New York subtreaaury this morn-
ing, Indicating a favorable turn in the gold
situation.
SENATE.
Washington, Sept. 27.-When the senate
convened to-day Mr. Dubois again ad-
dressed the senate in advocacy of his reso-
lution postponing Important legislation un-
til vacancies in the representation of three
states are filled.
Mr. Mitchell [rep.] of Oregon regarded
the proposition as one of the most remark-
able ever presented to the senate and
would oppose It to the bitter end.
Mr. Mitchell [rep.] of New Hampshire
suggested that the best course was to post-
pone the resolution until legitimate debate
on the repeal bill is exhausted.
Mr. Wolcott could not conceive how the
people of these states, in view of the reso-
lution the senator from Idaho has intro-
duced, can now fail to perform their func-
tions. They will yet have time to be rep-
resented on the floor when the vote comes.
'It may have been," said Mr. Wolcott,
'some of those claimants for seats in the
senate would have been admitted had their
politics been different or had the question
before the senate been different. We un-
derstand," continued Mr. Wolcott, "we are
to be met with the demand that we shall
meet at 11 o'clock in the morning and sit
until midnight. What may be accom-
plished by this sort of pressure I do not
know, but in view of the fact that a vote
may be had upon the previous question
I do know that any attempt to harass a
body of men who believe this question of
most vital importance and who desire to
interpose every honorable obstacle to the
final step which may be taken or any
means, sucli as the passage of a resolution
to compel us to sit here longer hours than
gentlemen should be called on to sit in a
public body and discuss this question, are
cruel and unusual and will be futile."
Mr. Gorman [dem.] of Maryland said he
understood perfectly the resolution of Mr.
Dubois was one of a series introduced for
the purpose of consuming the two morning
hours. That was natural and right and
nobody objected to it. Referring to the
question of admission of senators from
Washington, Montana and Wyoming Mr.
Gorman said it was one which had taxed
the best legal minds in the senate. Not
being a lawyer himself he preferred
to follow the majority of the committee
on privileges and elections. Then coming
to the reference to himself, which- Mr. Wol-
cott had made, [Mr. Wolcott having Im-
plied that Mr. Gorman, when speaking for
the resolution for longer hours, which he
understood was to be presented] Mr. Gor-
man said: "I ask him if he he meant me,"
and Mr. Gorman paused.
Mr. Wolcott was quickly on his feet.
"We have been advised," said he, "that
there has been a consultation of senators
going on for some days, that the senator
from Rhode Island is marshalling the forces
of the friends of repeal on this side and
that the senator from Maryland has been
marshalling members on that side who
favor repeal, with a view to agreeing upon
some further and more rigorous measure
which shall compel the senate to sit longer
hours in order, if possible, by that method,
to force a vote. I shall be very glad if I
am misinformed."
"I have been a member of this body over
twelve years," said Mr. Gorman; "1 have
been connected with It from the time I
was 12 years of age, but this is the first
instance In that time that I have known a
senator, either through himself or agents,
to listen at committee room doors, or from
Information received from eavesdroppers,
tell the senate the private conferences of
senators upon any subject. It is not neces-
sary," continued Mr. Gorman contemptu-
ously, "to say more of such an incident."
Mr. Gorman said he hoped reason would
resume its sway and the time would come,
not possibly upon this bill, but immediately
afterward If not on the repeal bill,
when something would be done that would
conciliate and accommodate. Referring to
Mr. Stewart's criticism of the president,
Mr. Gorman said, he was not a mouth-
piece of the president. "His patronage I
know nothing of. I care nothing for it.
I neither have it nor wish It: but there
is no man who has been more careful in
using the great power of his office than the
present president. If he may be criticised
at all, it would be proper to say that he
has been so careful of It that he has scarce-
ly done Ills party Justice "
Mr. Wolcott said he had carefully ab-
stained from the slightest refieotion, by
innuendo or otherwise, upon the senator
from Maryland. His disclaimer made while
that senator was speaking should have
been sufficient. "He was quick to recog-
nize he was meant," continued Mr. Wol-
cott. "I named him not by name. He
named himself. If he is a steerer he ought
not to object to reference to It from this
side. I should not rise to reply to his in-
sinuations were It not that he has seen
fit to suggest that I had listened at com-
mittee room doors."
"I did not say that," replied Mr. Gor-
man. "I Bald that if he had taken informa-
tion from eavesdroppers who were at com-
mittee room doors."
Mr. Wolcott said the senator from Mary-
land knew he would scorn dishonorable
methods. He characterized as untrue the
statement that the resolution was intro-
duced to consume time. "When the sena-
tor from Maryland asks us to conduct this
debate without feeling, when he asks us
to yield to a quick and speedy vote, and
when the senator from Rhode Island—the
great state he represents having protected
in this congress every petty Yankee notion
that has asked protection—says he will
take every means to secure a speedy vote
so that the country shall not be further
humiliated, when the country is over-
whelmed with suffering—when people are
sitting by poverty-stricken hearthstones
looking starvation in the face—he does not
know what he asks."
The repeal bill was then taken up and
Mr. Pasco [dem.] of Florida addressed the
senate favoring repeal. Mr. Teller fol-
lowed. but before lie had conclueded the
senate went into executive session and
afterward adjourned.
HOUSE.
Washington, Sept. 27.—All the vitality was
drawn out of the proceedings of the house
by a weary three hours' filibuster inaugu-
rated by Mr. Morse of Massachusetts be-
cause the house refused to allow him to
print in the Congressional Record some
editorial comments attacking Commissioner
Lochren. After securing a quorum Mr.
Morse succeeded in preventing the passage
of a resolution calling on Secretary Car-
lisle for his reasons for refusing to pur-
chase the amount of silver required by law
during July and August.
At 3.30 the federal election debate was re-
sumed. Two speeches were delivered to-
day, one by Mr. Lawson of Georgia, the
other by Mr. Daniels of New York. Both
were confined largely to constitutional
phases of the question and created neither
excitement nor particular interest. Mr.
Lawson's argument was from the stand-
point of states rights. The theory of this
government, he said, is that If the people
are not able to govern themselves It Is a
failure. Other countries are governed by
kings, this country by the people.
Mr. Daniels argued that the election laws
are absolutely necessary to obtain honesty
and security at congressional and presiden-
tial elections. Mr. Daniels defended the
course of John I. Davenport, but declared
that if he had abused the ofllce It could
not be adduced as an argument for repeal
of all federal election laws. At the conclu-
sion of his speech the house adjourned.
A CLEW AND ARREST.
St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 27.—A dispatch from
Ligonier, Ind., says an Important clew in
the Kessler train robbery has been secured
by detectives who won from Eva Flint, a
Kendallville hotel waitress, a confession
that she knew something of the gang. On
her statement a railroad man named John
Connors was arrested. He is said to have
been the leader. Other* art being watched.
CLEVELAND TO NORTHEN.
HIS AIMS ON THE FINANCIAL QUES-
TION PLAINLY STATED.
A Good Sound Onrrenoy Wanted, Every
Dollar of Which Would Be Hon-
ored Everywhere.
Atlanta, Ga„ Sept. 27.—In reply to a let-
ter from Governor Northen asking the
president to give his position on financial
matters, Mr. Cleveland sent the following
reply:
Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C.,
Sept. 25.—Hon. W. J. Northen—My Dear
Sir: I hardly know how to reply to your
letter of the 15th instant. It aeems to me
I am quite plainly on record concerning
the financial question. My letter accept-
ing the nomination to the presidency,
when read in connection with the message
lately sent to congress in extraordinary
session, appears to me, to be very explicit.
I want currency that Is stable and safe
In the hands of our people. I would not
knowingly be implicated In a condition
that will justly make me In the least de-
gree answerable to any laborer or fanner
in the United States for shrinkage in the
purchasing power of the dollar he has re-
ceived for a full dollar's worth of work
or for a good dollar's worth of the product
of his toll. I not only want our currency
to be of such character that all kinds ot
dollars will be of equal purchasing power
at home, but I want it of such character
as will demonstrate abroad our wisdom
and good faith in thus placing upon a firm
foundation our credit among the nations
of the earth. I want our financial condi-
tions and laws relating to our currency so
safe and reassuring that those who have
money will spend and invest it in business
and new enterprises instead of hoarding it.
You can not cure fright by calling it fool-
ish and unreasonable, and you can not
prevent a frightened man from hoarding
money.
I want a good, sound, stable money and
condition of confidence that will keep it in
use. Within the limits of what I have
written I am a friend of silver, but I be-
lieve its proper place In our currency can
only be fixed by readjustment of our cur-
rency and the inauguration of a consistent
and comprehensive financial scheme. I
think such a thing can only be entered upon
profitably and hopefully after repeal of a
law which is charged with all our financial
woes. In the present state of public mind
this law can not be built upon or patched
in such a way as to relieve the situation.
I am, therefore, opposed to free and un-
limited coinage of silver by this country
alone and independently, and I am in favor
of immediate and unconditional repeal of
the purchasing clause of the so-called Sher-
man law. I confess I am astonished by
opposition in the senate to such prompt ac-
tion as would relieve the present unfortu-
nate situation. My daily prayer is that the
delay occasioned by such opposition may
not be the cause of plunging the country
into deeper depression than It has yet
known, and that the democratic party may
not be justly held responsible for such ca-
tastrophe. Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

The truck farmers are busy planting their

There has been no effort made by Aransaa
and adjoining counties as yet to send Prof.
Attwater's collection to the Dallas state
fair, though the press has repeatedly al-
luded to the same. This collection Is far
beyond what It was last year, and if the
same is not placed at the fair it is felt
that It will be a big drawback to south-
west Texas. The directors of the fair have
reserved space for the professor.

BACK PROM THE DEAD.
A Case of Suspended Animation and Nar-
row Escape From Burial.
Salem, Mass., Sept. 24.—Mrs. R. W. ±-nll-
lips knows how it feels to be laid out for
burial and hear the mourning of friends
and relatives over her supposed death. This
terrible experience was recently hers, and
she is now recovering from the nervous
shock that followed her restoration to the
world. It was her frantic efforts to as-
suage her husband's grief that caused the
faintest fluttering of her heart and saved
her from the terrible fate of being entombed
alive. She had been sick with peritoni-
tis. For many days all hopes of recovery
was abandoned by friends and physicians.
She had severe sinking spells and In one of
these spells she became powerless to speak
or move. She could hear all that was said
and knew everything that was going on at
her bedside. She heard them pronounce her
dead, felt them close her eyes, felt her hus-
band's arms about her and heard his heart-
broken sobs, still she had no power to pre-
vent any of these manifestations. She says
the thought came to her during these mo-
ments:
"Am I dead? Can it be possible that this
is death? Am I to hear my husband's
grief arid pass away from him with no
power to prevent it? No, no, it can not be;
God would never be so cruel."
She made a frantic effort to speak, and
her husband discovered some signs of life,
a flutter of the heart, and immediately be-
gan to pour strong alcohol upon her and
rub her vigorously. In a short time anima-
tion was restored. She believes if nothing
had been done for her that she might have
continued on in that state until she was
buried. She had no pain, suffering nothing
while In that condition.
COTTON COMING SLOWLY.
Floresville, Tex., Sept. 27.—Up to yester-
day evening only 1503 bales of cotton have
been shipped from Floresville. This, how-
ever, does not indicate the amount of cot-
ton raised. Very few have sold their cot-
ton, owing to the low prices, and it is
scattered around every gin and wagon yard
in the county.
Ernest Guedin, who was killed in Kroe-
fer's gin last Friday, had his life insured
or $1000 a short time before his death,
contrary to the wishes of his wife. He was
a strong, healthy man, and his wife had no
thought of being left a widow.
Mr. \V. I. Hudson and Miss Mollie Chap-
man were married at Marcelina, Wilson
county, September 21, by Elder J. T. Blan-
ton of the Baptist church.
Mr. Sam Hassell of Floresville Is to be
married to-day in San Antonio to Miss
Maud Thomas, a daughter of A. G. Thom-
as, formerly a hotel proprietor here.
Business is very good with the merchants
since cotton began coming to market.
TO PLANT A VINEYARD.
Rockport, Tex., Sept. 27.—Captain A. J.
Peeler, who has returned from San Anto-
nio, along with S. H. Smith and D. M.
Plcton, in an interview with the News cor-
respondent, stated that as their time was
limited they only saw a few of the many
capitalists in regard to raising a bonus for
deep water at Aransas Pass, but that they
secured $20,900 and were certain San Aato-
MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS.
Boston, Mass., Sept. 27.—The democratic
state convention to-day nominated a full
state ticket. Congressman O'Neill of Bos-
ton was elected permanent chairman. John
E. Russell was nominated for governor by
the democratic convention to-day. For
lieutenant governor, James E. Carroll was
nominated. Both nominations were made
by acclamation. Treasurer and receiver,
General D. E. Stevens of Dudley. After
reaffirming the platform of 1892, the plat-
form declares confidence In Grover Cleve-
land that the president and Secretary Car-
lisle are to be commended upon their atti-
tude toward the silver repeal bill, "which
has brought industrial and financial disas-
ter upon the country." The lower house of
congress is congratulated upon Its speedy
action upon silver repeal in response to the
president's message. The senate Is called
upon to offer no undue delay to the people's
will. The platform then runs: "While we
recognize that the people need to be con-
gratulated upon the complete overthrow of
the doctrine of McKinleyism and the elec-
tion of a government pledged to a general
reform of the tariff for the benefit of all
classes of American citizens and speedy re-
duction of the tariff to a revenue basis la
confidently expected."
Just and liberal pension system is favored
for all needy and deserving veterans, "but,"
runs the platform, "we recognize that con-
gress, and not the pension bureau, must
define the conditions under which pensions
are to be granted, and commend the ef-
forts of the present administration to make
the operating of the pension system con-
form with the plain terms of congressional
enactments and to purge the pension roll
of frauds."
The election of United States senators by
popular vote is demanded, further and
strict application of the civil service luw
favored, and the alleged Inconsistency of
the republican party in Massachusetts on
this subject denounced.
The balance of the platform is devoted
to state issues.
MARYLAND DEMOCRATS.
Baltimore, Md., Sept. 27.—The democratic!
state convention met here this afternoon.
Buchanan Schley was chosen chairman.
Marion DeKalb Smith was nominated for
comptroller. The substance of the plat-
form was: "We declare adherence to the
principles of the democratic party and com-
mend the wisdom and patriotism of Grover
Cleveland. We sustain the president in his
earnest purpose to secure the repeal of the
objectionable Sherman act. We advise re-
peal of all federal election laws which give
Judges of circuit courts power to appoint
supervisors of elections.
"The existing tariff ought to be thor-
oughly revised."
This completed the work of the conven-
tion.
AFTER COLQUITT'S SEAT.
New York, Sept. 27.—Hon. F. G. Dubing-
ton, ex-president of the Georgia state sen-
ate and a prominent lawyer of Savannah,
who is a candidate for Senator Colquitt's
seat, is a guest at the Hotel Marlborough.
"Yes, sir, I am a candidate to succeed
Senator Colquitt," said he. "Senator Col-
quitt is a very able and popular man, also
a very sick man. His ailment Is such that
he can not attend to the hard work of his
position and will not run again.
"Business in Georgia is improving rap-
idly, and I don't think it will now be long
before all effects of the recent business de-
pression will have passed away."
