Fassett Eulogizes Clarkson. As soon as the committee was ready for business yesterday l-'assett rose and after some semi-sorrowful remarks over Blaine's defeat and the declaration that the Democrats had nominated their best man and the situation was desperate, paid an eloquent tribute to Clarkson, and said that the days and nights had not been long enough tor him to do what he want ed to do forth. Republican party. With him at the head of the national commit tee there could be no doubt of success, Fassett declared that every Republican would do his utmost to win i he light, though it would be no "holiday excur sion." The President I'rcferred Another. Clarkson Umk the Moor as Fassett con cluded his speech, and said in substance that he wished to say to the members of the committee that he fully appreciated what had been said by Fassett and that he felt more grateful to him and the others of the committee for their kind words than he could express. He had re ceived the personal, individual tender of the support for the chairmanship .of the committee of forty-two trieinliers of the committee, yet he had just learned that the candidate for the presidency preferred another man. He therefore cheerfully de clined to be considered a candidate. The committee took recess to consider the matter. Waited for a Conference Committee. The committee resumed its session at 3 o'clock and the call of the roll by Secre tary I)e Young showed that every state and territory in the union save Nevada was represented either in the person of the committeeman or by his proxy.

Payne said that under the suggestions of Chairman Clarkson, made at 'he morning session, several members o? the committee were then conferring wk'i the. president and he sup posed the committee would wait until their return before proceeding further, lteport in Favor of Campbell. Some miscellaneous basil ss was tran sacted, aud in due time "ommittee which had waited on the appear ed and reported, the res DOTS being that Payne ol Y t W. J. Campbell, chairman, elected ana seconds of the nomuu. of Kentucky moved tik. made by acclamation. In put. question Clarkson said that for hi he desired to say that a splendid choice every way had been made. The motion was declared carried and Campbell's elec tion was made unanimously. DEFENSE OF QUAY AND DUDLEY. Clarkson Declares Them Men To Be Loved and Honored. The other officers were all elected by ac clamation, aud then after adopting a reso tion to carry out the national convention rule regarding the executive committee, the resolutions on the retirement of Clark son, highly eulogistic, were presented and adopted by a rising vote. In response to calls Clarkson said: "For the good will and honor conferred by these resolutions I am deeply grateful. In IS1! we had a hard working committee and lost; in 1888 we had a harder working committee and won. And to my knowledge no campaign was ever conducted more cleanly, more honestly, than the campaign of 1881. I know Senator Quay and General Dudley, and I hope there is no Republican in this land who will ever cease to render due honor to these two honorable men . Would Name His Boy After Them. "And I want to say to you, gentlemen, that upon my dying bed, before my family, I could not name two men more to be loyed and honored than Senator Quay and General Dudley. I want to warn you, gentlemen, against a growing teudency in the Republican party, under the hypocrisy of the times, not to defend its party lead ers. The cases of SenatorQuay and General Dudley afford vivid examples of this prac tice. So far as I am concerned, if I have another boy to name I will be glad to con fer upon him the name of Quay or I udley. And this is an evidence of my love and affection for the men. As to resolutions, 1 shall again thank you from the bottom of my heart, and in conclusion state that no man on the continent desires more to help elect the Republican ticket, or will do more, according to his ability, than I." Called ou the President. Resolutions were also unanimously adopted expressing the love, respect and confidence of the committee for its retir ing secretary, Fassett. Fassett acknow ledged the honor in a happy little speech. After adopting a motion offered by Sena tor Carey, that the executive committee be authorized to fill all vacancies occur ring by death or otherwise prior to the next meeting, the committee adjourned subject to the call of the chairman.

Stevens, the head and front of the movement in Pennsylvania, and who is slated for either temporary chairman or permanent chair man, and Rev. W. H, Boole, of New York.

I Platform Will Bequire "Breadth." More trouble is anticipated in framing a platform than in selecting the nomi nees. Judging from the resolutions idopted at the various state conventions, che delegates will have widely divergent views on the Questions of woman's suf frage, silver and tariff. Tonight, however, when most of them have arrived, an effort will be made to harmonize the conflicting elements so that the platform may satis factorily cover all the isms" of the mem bers of the party outside of the prohibition st ion proper.

The Kansas delegates to the People's party convention are inclined to look with distrust on the presidential boom which has been started for Judge Gresham.

The negroes attempted to respond in kind, whereupon Leahy whooped and promptly knocked a quarter of a dozen of them off the lioard walk down on to the beach. The negroes drew razors and started at Leahy with the in tention of killing him. Leahy screamed for help as one of the colored men slashed him over the right ana. The cries of the combatants and Leahy's scream for help caused treat excitement and the cot takers and hotel guests ran to the spot in crowds from all directions. Was a Terror to the "Force." The entire beach police force, consisting of five men, appealed, and after scatter ing the angry negroes charged the l-aby. The latter pitched into the force with great vigor. He kicked one of them on the head, another on the shoulder, and quite inadvertently knocked the third one down. Amid the howls of the great throng the struggle went on until the offi cers had succeeded in placing manacles oa Michael Leahy. (.Ives 'Km a Final F'lurry. All bloody and tattered he staggered to his feet nnd announced to the crowd: "I want you people to understand that I am not resisting an officer." After which he threw his arms and feet in four distinct directions and upset the same number of policemen. They dragged him to the sta tion house. Yesterday morning the jus tice of the peace sent Michael to the coun ty jail to await indictment. GREAT BLAZE AT SEATTLE. The Town Again Swept by Fire at a Cost nl is.-.oo.ooo.
