WHAT THE ALLIANCE MEETING AT
AUSTIN MEANS, ^
When tie Campaign Opened the Olark
Element Looked Like Winners"A
Political Joss.
Austin, Tax., Aug. 6,-Tlio convention of
the stato alliance here on the llitli, it is
claimed, was called to meet simultaneously
with the Houston convention fur a purppse.
At the time, of the call there was ^reat doubt
as to tho result of the race betwoan Uuij^nnd
Hogg.
Clark's people undoubtedly made tho
greater noise. Thry wero securing city pre-
cincts. At all these state alliance meetings
policies uro disi-tissed—perhaps not in tbcir
alliance convention proper—but when called
from labor to refreshment. \\ hen tho nbovo
mentioned call was made the alliance men
who are four-fifths third party people, antici-
pated that Clark.would down Hogg. If they
have a political joss it is the governor. Doubt-
less hail the campaign gone forward as it be-
L'lin they would h'ave been 011 hand at Austin
to organize and nominate the governor
whether he wanted it or not. While they do
now have a party of their own they are habit-
ual seratchers. So well is this known that
tho general idea now is they will scratch
Nugent and vote for Hogg if the democrats
have'a spl* at Houston and the true blues set
up a real democrat for governor. When too
alliance meets here 1 predict they will re-
main in session tintil.the result at Houston is
ascertained. If they remain here they will
come to a common understanding, t hat is
a very practical way they have. I would not
be surprised to *ee*Nugeiit pulled dowu.
Wharton's Protest.
Wharton, Tex., August 6#—Tho Clark men
assembled to-day at the courthouse. I. N.
Dennis was olocted chairman, W.'.T. Croom,
secretary. The following call was read:
To thfe democrats of Wharton county: We,
the democrats of WUiarton county, believing
that gross injustice has boon done byt the
Hogg faction of tho county precinct No. 5,
who failed to give notice of tho time and
j,lace of hdlding its precinct conven-
tion, but on the receipt of a telegram from a
Hogg supporter and precinct chairman called a
county contention, consisting of some of the
Hogg supporters who happened to be then at
Kl Campo, assembled together and organized
a pretended convention and elected delegates
and instructed them to support J. S. Hogg.
That those self-appointed and self-constitwtea
delegates^vere received into the county con-
vention and gave the vote of said precinct tor
(Jovernor.Hogg in fraud of the rights of the
supporters of Hon. George ( lark, who wo
allege were arid now are 111 the majority in
said precinct.
Fjirther, no election was over held in pre-
cinct «No. 8 to send delegates to the county
convention. A majority of the voters of said
precinct are now and wero then in favor of
Hon. George Clark for governor, thus the
will of the Clark friends were defeated in tho
county convention.
The chairman of said precinct is a support-
er of Governor Hogg, and it may be that he
has reasons'satisfa'ctory to himself at least for
not holding a precinct convention. By the ac-
tions and doings of the supporters of Governor
Hogg, as above stated, we allege that the will
of the majority of the democrats of this county
lins.been'defeated. a majority being now in
favor of Hon. George Clark, and for the same
reason given herein, we appeai to the senso of
justice and of right, as tho friends ot true
democracy of the county, to assemble in mass
meeting at the courthouse in Wharton on Sat-
urday, August (1 at 11 o. in. to enter their pro-
test against tho wrongs herein complained of
and to send delegates to the Houston couven-
tionMo demand our rights.
Vpon motion thechair appointed the follow-
ing delegates to attend the HouaU.ni conven-
tion: James Carson, W. E, Singleton, .1. G.
Barber, 1!. B. Huston, L. D. Brown, Tom

Judge and Attorney Nominated.
Nacogdoches, Tex., Aug. 6.—The judicial
convention met hero Thursday and nominated
James T. Polley of Snelby for judge on the
fifty-fifth ballot. His only opponent was
George F. Ingraham of Nacogdoches, who
now holds the office by appointment. As soon
as Polley was nominated he was formally noti-
fied and in a few remarks gracefully accepted,
Then Judge Ingraham waB called and gave a
short talk which mado everything pleasant.
He said that he 'had been appointed, not
elected by the people, and as he believed the
l>eople should have the say as to who should
have the office, and as this was the first oppor
tunity they hfed had and they had now ex-
pressed their preference for Mr. Polley he felt
that it was hie duty to give notice that he
would immediately1 resign and give the dis-
trict -.the opitortumty of recommending Mr.
Polley for appointment aa his successor,
through the delegates now assembled in con-
vention.
The.ballot from the first to the last was a
tie between the candidates. The last, fifty-
fifth, was unanimous for Mr. Polley. He is
the present district attorney, in his second
term. Judge Ingraham'a friends are as well
pleased with Polley as they could have been
with any victor, for he is an able jurist and
worthy geutlenran, besides being personally
popular all over the district.
Balloting for district attorney was carried
on until about the one hundred and tenth bal-
lot at H p. m.. when th£convention adjourned
until 8..'i0 next morning. The candidates wore
W. F. Davis of San Augustine and John T.
Garrison of Shelby, with Davis about two
votes ahead and'lackmg about two votes of a
nomination. Cherokee county did not put
up their candidate. Judge Whitman, but in-
stead nominated Garrison, and then split
their vote on him and Davis. In the contest
for judge Cherokee was divided, giving Ingra-
ham the greater vote. There was quite a
trading feature to the vote of several coun-
ties, each one having an eye to district attor-
ney as well as to judge.
Later.—After a few ballots yesterday for
district attorney John T. Garrison waB with-
drawn and W. F. Davis was nominated by
acclamation. Then came speeches from va-
rious standpoints, ending with one on demo-
cratic issues by W. M. Imboden of Cherokee,
drawn out by his election as chairman of this
(the Second) judicial district.
The convention passed a resolution recom-
mending the appointment of Polley for judge
and Davis for attorney upon tho resignation
of Judge Ingraham, which is to take place
September 1.
Robert McCiure, esq., of Cherokee was
chairman of the convention and Prof. Dupree
of Slielby was secretary.
Mill® at Bonham.
Bonham, Tex., Aug. 6.—Hon. Roger Q.
Mills spoke this evening at the courthouse to
an audience of about 1200, many of whom
were farmers. The speaker occupied about
two hours and was listened to with rapt atten-
tion. He lambasted the third party. Perhaps
no speaker at this place ever received nucii
Thompson or Ore-ham.
Columbus, Tex., Aug. 0.—In regard to the
remarks of a prominent Galvestonian iu The
Galveston News of the 5th instant touching
tho congressional race in the Tenth district
the News reporter heard a prominent citizen
of Columbus say that tho Galvestonian had
certaiuly slipped his eccentric.
If Wells Thompson is handicapped," he
continued, "it is very straugo that ho should
have carried the primaries in the interior
counties and that if he has burnt all his pow-
der he has certainly bagged all the game. Ho
did not go into the field before Colonel
Gresham, for Colonel Gresham was in tho field
at the tuno. he made the district, and that
Gresham is handicapped far worse than
Thompson, which will provent him from land-
ing auy of the interior votes in the convention.
And as the statement that Galveston has not
had a representative in congress for thirty
years he seems to havo forgotten Colonel
Thomas P. Ochiltree. While Galveston is
largely interested in national legislation a con-
gressman from the interior can as well if not
better, represent her than Colonel Gresham,
as is manifested by the services of Mr. Crain.
That- Wells Thompson will be the next con-
gressman is beyond a doubt, and don't you
forget it. And he will faithfully look to the
interest of Galveston and all other points in
the district."
POLITICS FXSKW HKIIE.
South Carolina Politics.
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 4.-Tlie most excit-
ing meeting of the stato campaign occurred
to-day at Union. There came dangerously
near being a personal difficulty 011 the stand
between Governor Tillman and Colonol Orr,
the conservative candidate for lieutenant gov-
ernor, which would have resulted in a riot. In
his spoecli Governor Tillman asked Colonol
Orr for his authority for saying that a
preacher had said that he (Tillman) flaunted
his profanity in public. Colonel Orr replied
that he did not divulge private conversations,
and added Tillman knew the statement
was true, as lie could ascertain by
appealing to tho rireachers in general.
The governor said that sometimes an oRth
Blipped out, but that it had done bo only 011
one occasion during the campaign. He aj>-
pealed to the ladies present to signify if 111
their opinian tliey considered him a black-
guard, but, of course, there was no response
(rom them. The governor then said that if
Colonel Orr or any other man said ho llaunteu
his profanity in public ho lied. Colonel Orr
advanced to tho governor and catching him by
the arm wheeled him around and asked him
if he was trying to raise a personal difficulty.
Tillman replied that he was, and Orr shook
his linger in Ins face and told him he could
not intimate that he (Orr) lied without havmij
it thrown back in his (Tillman's) teoth. Ha
told him further that Tillman had boasted of
being "God Almighty's" gentleman. The
governor replied that he had, and Orr re-
plied : "He did not do himself credit when he
made you." . ,
He again caught hold of the governor and
asked him if ho meant to intimate that lie was
a liar. The govornor said that if Orr did not
originate the statemout the remark did not
apply to him.
By this time the crowd had become a raging
mob. People climbed upon the stand, men
pulled off their coats, swore like troopers and
gathered around the two men. It looked for
all the world as if there would bo bloodshed.
Colonel Orr stood to the rack and told Tillman
he had repeatedly used curse words 011 the
stand. Tho governor said he had not done it
but once, and he would -leavo H to ex-tlov-
ernpr Shepard, who, however, hzd nothing to
sw- ...
The excitement by this time was intense.
Colonel Orr again caught hold of Tillman,
who had turned his head toward tho crowd in
front, and told him if he wanted a fight he
could get it. The governor said lie did not,
and Colonel ()rr went back to his seat, re-
marking that Tillman must let him alone.
The governor turned to tho crowd and said no
living man could bulldoze him. After great
difficulty the crowd was quieted.
Opened tlio Cainiiaijr".
Vermillion, O., Aug. An immense
throng of people cheered themselves hoarse
this afternoon at Linwood Grove. It was vir-
tually tho opening of the national campaign of
1892 in Ohio for the republicans, and the en-
thusiasm of those present found vent when at
1.30 p. in. the orator of tho occasion was intro-
duced, Hon. Charles Foster, President Harri-
son's secretary of the treasury, who left Wash-
ington yesterday for the special purpose of
being present hero this afternoon. There was
a great outburst of applause, partly in the na-
ture of a tribute to tho personal popularity of
the distinguished Ohioan, and this was grace-
fully acknowledged by him. The audience
was largely composed of farmers. The speech
was devoted to a historical review of
American currency.
Llano Third Fartyites.
Llano, Tex., Aug. G.—Tho third party con-
vention met in sossion this morning at 10
o'clock. .1. W. Baker was made chairmau
auu Paul Leclere secretary.
After the various committees had reported
the body went into nominations.
T. J. McMinn of San Antonio was in-
structed fpr as congressman and J-; D. Cady
for the state legislature.
The following is a full list of the county
officers nominated: Tho Rev. James Moore
for county judge, E. H. Alexander for county
and district clerk, W. it. Murchison for sher-
iff, H. W. Carothers for assessor, A. Kuyken-
dall for treasurer, B. F. Darner for county
attorney, Joe Loo for county surveyor.
The meeting waB noisy but harmonious, and
the ticket put out wili challenge the united
strength of the democracy to defeat.
Hokk Carried Wood,
WiNsnoHo, Wood Co., Tex., Aug. G. At the
primaries here to-day delegates were instruct-
ed for Hogg for governor, Henderson for
comptroller and all the present state officers,
and indorsed B. Q. Mills for the senate and
instructed delegates to vote for his instruction
from this county. Enough outside precincts
•have been heard from to know that Hogg has
carried this county by a large majority.
Third Party in Busk.
Hendkbson, Tex., Aug. 6.—The people's
party met in convention to-duy, about fifty
delogates being present. A full county ticket
was nominated.
J. Kas Jones addressed the convention, but
told them that I10 was an independent demo-
crat. ., , , .
H. A. Whittaker presided as chairman.
They indorsed the Omaha platform.
The Colored Brother Was There.
Mouiqombbi, Tex., Aug. 6.—The third par-
ty held their primary yesterday, with thirty or
forty present, a portion being colored, and
elected their delegates to the county conven-
tion,io convene at Conroe on the ltlth for tho
purpose of nominating a full county ticket.
The attendance at the primary was not as large
as was exnected, which proved a disappoint-
ment to some of the third party adherents.
Morgan Primary.
Morgan, Tex., Aug. «.-A democratic pri-
mary election waa held in this, Bosque, pre-
cinct to-day to nominate county ofticers; 40
votes were cast at this box out of a total vote
of 180. The people's party have been claim-
ing this box by a largo majority.

Dallas Third Fartyites.
Dallas, Aug. 6.—The people's party prima-
ries to-night in the city to elect delegates to
1 the county convention to meet ednesd&y fox
Both Sides Pleased.
Lansing, Mich., Aug. 6.—The business of
the legislative session was finished at 0 p. 111.
to-day, but filial adjournment will not occur
until Monday noon. Both the Brown and
White apportionment bills passed with prac-
tically a unanimous vote and were given im-
mediate effect. Both bills are as nearly equit-
able in the matter of population as can well
be mado and politically it is very difficult to
determine the advantage to either.
The senatorial measure provides for eighty-
two districts, as did the act declared unconsti-
tutional ; but affords a more equitable di-
vision. Under the house reapportionment
bill the representation will be sixty-four mem-
bers, the minimum number according to tho
constitution.
Kolb's Silly Claims.
Montgomehy, Ala., Aui/. 6.—The claims of
Bowman, chairman of the Kolb committee,
that Kolb haB carried the state by 30,000 is
based on allegations of fraud which can not
be substantiated.
The straight ticket is electod by at least 15,-
000 and Kolb's contest, if mnde, will not result
in getting tho office. The question is to be de-
termined by the assembly, which meets in
November. I11 the senate half the old mom-
be rs were hold over and at least 10 of the 17
elected this year are straight nominees 011 tho
Jones ticket. In the house over GO of the 100
are regular nominees.
The Alliance Union.
Monroe, Aug. 6.—The Farmers' alliance
union adjourned sine die yesterday. The
third party element placed in nomination for
president J. G, Copeland of Claiborne, while
the anti-third partyites nominated J. W. Mc-
Fariand, the present secretary. The former
was elected by 655 to 0, The third party mem-
bers from the Fourth Louisiana district de-
cidod in caucus to nominate a candidate for
congress.
San Antonio, Tex., Aug. 6.—Tho action of
the judicial convention at Austin last Tuesday
in excluding all three of tho Bexar county
delegations from participating in the delibera-
tions of that body, has been the principal
topic of discussion in local political circlcs
this week. Tho warm feoling existing be-
tween the contesting factions of Bexar county
democracy has been greatly intensified, and
the indications are that tho fight at tho Hous-
ton convention will t1 ■ carried out Inrgoly on
personal grounds. Each of the leaders who
represented their respective delegations before
the Austin convention has his own excuse to
offer for the result at that plaeo, and thore is a
wide difference in sonic of tho main points of
the stories they have told since their return of
what took place there before tho credential
committee.
The mass-meeting delegates are unable to
account for their rejection upon any other
grounds than that the committee diu not de-
sire to assume the responsibility of acting
upon the fight before it reaches tho state con-
vention, where the settlement should properly
take place. Colonel Columbus Upson and
other leaders of the reorganized democracy
claim, however, that inasmuch as tlioy acted
upon instructions from the Lampasas conven-
tion in returning hero and reorganizing they
were entitled to admission to tho judicial con-
vention beyond any doubt, and that the cre-
dential committee of the latter body acted in
a very cowardly manner to say tho least in
not treating them with fair consideration. It
seems that the mass-meeting people, who were
ably represented before the credential com-
mittee at Austin, were given no opportunity
of presenting their claims and that the merits
of their case were never cnterod into.
(inly thirty minutes wore given to each
of the Bexar county delegations to make
their statement before the committee, and it
had been agreed by Judge J. H. Fleming and
Leo Tarleton, who acted in behalf of the mass
meeting delegation, that they should divide
the half hour between them. Mr. iarleton
started in with the opening argument, but
soon stirred up such a storm of quest ions from
members of the committee that ho switched
off 011 other features of Bexar county politics
entirely foreign to the case lie was espousing,
and before he was aware of it had consumed
the entire thirty minutes without presenting
tho demands of his delegation in anything
like tangible shape. ,
The Cnllaghan faction, which was repre-
sented by Bryan t'allaghan himself, made
even a worse mess of it, if some of _ the stories
in circulation are true, although in an inter-
view Binco his ret' in Mr, Cnllaghan expresses
himself as well satisfied with the result and
claimed that his defeat was brought about
through the convention being controlled by
Clark suporters. . „, „ ,
On the other hnnd, Captain Edgar Schramm,
who was present as tho champion of tho fac-
tion of which ho is the recognized leader,
claims that the convention was a Hogg affair,
and that Cailagh in was downed by his own
people and that the hitter recognized that ho
had no valid claim to admission. Captain
Schramm is probably the most delighted and
best satisfied of any of the delegatos who
were so ingloriously spanked and sent back
home. He Btates that his faction demonstrated
that theirs was tho only delegation from Bexar
county entitled to a seat in the convention,
and that their claims were admitted by Mr.
Tarleton of the mass meeting people in his
talk before tho Credentials committee. He is
confident that hi- delegation will be admitted
to the Houston convention.
The democrats on the outside, or more
properly speaking, who are not identified with
any of the three factions, unanimously con-
dem the action of the credentials committee
in refusing Bexar county representation 111
the Austin convention, as the selection of the
officers chosen there was of the utmost im-
portance to this city and county.
Labor Day Celebration.
The various labor organizations of this city
and county will celebrate labor day in an
elaborate manner on September 5. The tirst
exerciBe of tho morning will be a procession
made up of the various labor organizations of
this and neighboring counties. After parad-
ing the streets, the organizations, together
with others who- wish to witness tho proceed-
ings, will go at once to San Pedro springs,
where they they will be entertained by peo-
ple's party orators, music and dancing.
The address of wclcome will bo delivered
by Mayor Bryan Callaghan. The Hon. T. L.
Nugent of Fort Worth will be present and de-
liver an address in the interest of labor. G.
W. Smith, Julius Schuetze and others will
speak on questions of tho day. Tho Trades'
council havo extended an invitation to tha
Farmers'alliance in this and adjoining coun-
ties to join with them 111 the celebration.

Waco Heat Galveston,
Waco, Tex., Aug. g.—The first game be-
tween Waco and Galveston was won by tho

Burglars Who Were Disappointed - An
Angry Cow's Work.
Buenham, Tex., Aug. (i.-Burglarles have
been of common occurronco hero latoly, but
last night two of tho gentry received a rather
warm reception nt the residence of H. Blu-
man, in the southern part of the city. Ed
Fischl, who sloops at the house, was roused nt
about 2 o'clock this momma by a lady who is
staying with Mrs. Bluinan. He was told to
get up at once, that somoone was tring to got
into ono of the back windows. Hastily slip-
ping on his clothes, Fischl shoved two shells
into his shotgun and went outside. The moon
was nenrly do\vn and it was pretty dark, but
he caw outliued against tho whitewashed feuce
the figures of two men. Taking quick aim, he
fired both barrels at the men, who jumped
the fence and disappeared in tho darkness.
They were white men Fischl thinks, lhis
morning he went to tho place they woro stand-
ing when he shot nt them and found blood-
stains, showing that they wore hit. The shot,
unfortunately, wero small and probably did
no seriouR damage.
Tho family own considerable jewelry and
diamonds which they kept at home, and it is
likoly the would-bo burglars were after it.
This morning Mrs. tiiumaii had her diamonds
deposited in bank, so there can be no further
temptation for thieves.
M rs. H. K. Harrison was butted down nnd
kicked by a young Jersey cow yesterday. The
children had been teasing the cow, which has

tacked. With the exception of u few bruises
Mrs. Harrison is uninjured.

New Stars for Galveston.
Director George B. Dermody informed a
News man last night that George Adams of
tho New Orleans team of the Southern league
had been secured to play with Galveston, and
that the crack outfielder of the Pelicans would
soon stand guard for the Sand Crabs in one of
the outer gardens. Adams has been secured
at considerable expense and will materially
strengthen tho team. He lead the Southern
league in fielding and stood third m hitting.
Emmett Rogers joined the Galvestons at
San Antonio on Friday, and the team is now
in a condition to play championship ball, as

exhibitions which would have been creditable
in any league. Tho members of the club have
apparently settled down to good playing, tlw
individual and team work being noticeably

A Charitable Association Gets Itself and
Others In Trouble—Prosecutions
Likely to Follow.
Haiifobd, Conn., Aug. [Special. 1—Dis-
closures that will create a sensation through-
out New England woro brought forth yester-
day when Selectman Fowler mado a report to
the board of selectmen of tho town of his in-
vestigation into certain baby farms alleged to
exist in Hartford and vicinity.
Ho has found five baby farms in, existence
in Hartford, West Hartford and Bloomfield,
whero children from other towns and from
outBide the state have been placed by Mrs.
Virginia Smith, the missionary of the city
mission, a charitablc organization in this city.
At one farm in this city twenty-throe children
have been placed by Mrs. Smith from Febru-
ary to Juno.
Affidavits are presented from the women
running the farms claiming, as they say, to bo
ignorant of tho law and throwing the respon-
sibility upon the city missionary for not re-
porting the casos to the selectmen, as required
by law.
No record of the cases lias been kept. I ''oy
are mostly illegitimate children. Mrs. Smith
paid $2 a week each child for its board and her
son, Dr. O. C. Smith, a oity physician, at-
tended them when ill.
Facts are given showing that some of tha
'children have been adopted by persons paying
from $13 to $10 each to Mrs. Smith. The re-
port goes to show that thoso farms have boen
run in the interest of Mra. Smith, who has re-
ceived young giris from various parts of tha
stato and Massachusetts, placed them' there
during confinement, has received pay froni
them or their betrayers, mid placed the babies,
all under the promise of the strictest secrecy.
The practice has prevailed for about eight
years, and probably iiOU to 400 children havo
been boarded at these farms by Mrs. Smith,
mostly within four years.
Mr. Fowler's reports, which are very spe-
citic, cover thirty-throe type written pages,
and narrates among other things the attempt
of a member of Mrs. Smith's family to bribe
a reporter of a city paper to suppress certain
facts lie had unearthed.
The selectmen this morning unanimously
accepted the report and authorized the publi-
cation of 500 copies.
The affair creates a great sensation in Hart-
ford, which has bocoine notorious as a city
whero the resultB of vice could be covered up
through the officers of the city missionary in
the name of charity. The entire business has
been conducted in violation of the state law.
which requires tho fullo.it publicity in caBea

The Minnesota Grain Men Do Not Like
Retaliation.
Ditluth, Minn., August 6.-[Special.]—
There is decided opposition here among the
heaviest wheat shippers and vessel brokers to
the tolls on Canadian boats passing through
the Soo canal in order to force the dominion
to discontinue discrimination against Ameri-
can ships passing through the Wellaud canal.
It will knock the vessel men, so they claim,
out of a large amount of business and will
cripple heavy wheat exporters by removing
Canadian competition for the carrying busi-
ness.
This will be particularly so this year, be-
cause tonnage is in great demand nt stitt'
rates. It is probable that the prosidont will
be memorialized either to defer action or at
least givo interested parties duo notice be-
fore imposing tolls as provided in the bill
lately passed by congress. Parties interested
in the lake carrying business claim this trade
and that of Lake Superior will be more in-
jured than benefited by such a measure, as
there is very little of our tonnage passing tha
Welland canal anyway.
MORTUARY.
The Lamar County Excitement.
Pakis, Tel., Aug. 6.—It seems that the kill-
ing of tho negro, Jarrett Burnes, by John
Ashley in the southeastern part of this county
is about to cause serious race trouble in that
community. Certain negroes in that vicinity
have not been willing for the law to take its
course, and it is said that they have made
threats against Mr. Ashley and his property/,
some which has already been damaged. The
night after Ella Runsoni was taken out by a
mob Mr. Ashley wbs informed that the negroes
claimed that lie wan in the crowd and tried
to hang her, and were going to
wreak vengeance upon him. Several friends
went to hiB house and stood guard all night.
During the night negroes were seen prowling
about the premises in a suspicious manner,
but no attack was made. Yesterday morning
it was discovered that someone had ridden all
over Ashloy's field and done great damage to
his crops. A grass plat about 400 yards from
the house looked as if it had been trampled ovor
by a number of people on foot. These things,
taken in connection with the threats, looks as
if there wua a disposition to mob Mr. Ashley,

cemetery this afternoon. Deceased was a
young man of sterling qualities, sober, in-
