May 31.— the Convention held here today the follow ing delegates-at-large were chosen by the committee on delegates to the Chi cago convention:. F. R. Coudert. New York; Alex E. Orr. Brooklyn; Charles F. Bishop, Buffalo; Edmund Fitzgerald, Troy. The work of the committee was ap proved, and thus the question of protest or contest has been determined, and the course of contest and demand at Chi cago for the seventy-two seats has been fixed upon. ; A subject of remark today has been the youthful personnel of the delega tions. Vigorous young fellows they are, in the" main ranging from twenty five to forty years of age, and full of eager push and vim. This \ day. which will cover, it is believed, the making and unmaking of some men and some Interests, came out of the East without a cloud. The heat grew and intensified, and men .men met and assured each other that it was going to be a hot day. Cleveland badges in button form, in ribbons tied in fanciful knots and in streamers for hat bands, were every where offered for sale. The element of representation that came from the farms and from the small villages was notice able today. The great majority of these had slept at home rather "than incur unnecessary hotel expenses, but today they were here— earnest, grave -rand bearing the impress of conscious re sponsibility in their manner. -. ■- j Contestants Aggressive. The feeling among those not from the cities was in favor of a protest at Chi cago and not a contest, but this ques tion was shaken down to a- determina tion " among the congressional district delegations, and it was soon apparent that a solid contesting delegation would be sent out from today's convention to the. national body at Chicago. The con sensus of careful judgments bent to this course as the only method of effectively pressing the sentiment of the delegates upon the Chicago conven tion. The lower counties have no two opinions on the subject, and other sec tions of the state— Chemung, Erie and Oswego counties— were strongly bent upon a contest against the midwinter convention, as premature and uou-rep eentative. The convention was called to order shortly after noon by ex-Secretary of. the Treasury Charles S. Fairchlld.chair man of the state committee. . On the . aisle chairs four or five rows back from the stage there was seated a little figure behind a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. The figure wore trousers and a frock coat, but it was a woman— Mary "Walker. Exactly on the tick* of noon a shout went up from near the door. The sea faces as seen from the Stage became ' suddenly a sea of back hair. Every one had turned to learn the "cause 'of "the commotion. Quickly Mayor Grace and John D. Kernan were recognized, and as they came down the aisle side by side, there, came out -rousing- cheers. They took their way to the stage, where ex-Secretary Fairchild and E. Ellery Anderson greeted them as they came up. When the tumult had subsided, Mr. Fairchild, as chairman of the pro visional state committee. .arose- and, amid frequent interruptions of ap plause, said: Fail-child's Fling. On behalf of the provisional state com mittee, 1 call this convention of Demo crats of the state of New York to order. On the 22d of February last a few of you met together in Albany and issued the I DRESSING 'LJyj|U ■^^■^^■^V^ r^^^^^^C y%* «h 3F^*s" invitation to your fellow-Democrats throughout the state to meet here In the city of Syracuse on this 31st day of May. At that time, in the little speech which I made in calling that assemblage to gether, 1 made the prediction ".that our only trouble on the 31st day of May would be to find a hall large enough to accommodate all our friends. Ap plause.) Here you are now, in thous ands, to do a mighty work for our party. Permit me personally to thank the thousands of Democrats throughout the state who have so patriotically, so un selfishly aided iv the promotion of this movement for the benefit of the. Demo cratic party. [Applause.] And.now we have only" to go on in a constructive manner, bearing in mind the rights and feelings of all our fellow Democrats who are seeking today nothing but justice, asking for nothing for ourselves that we would not be willing to grant to any one else. [Ap plause.] We have only to go on in this spirit, firmly and calmly, to accom plish what I believe will be the- thing; which will have done more, for the Democratic pa ty of the State of Mew: York than ail other political movements; in the last generation. [Applause.] 1 have now. on behalf of the provisional state committee, the honor of nominal-' ing as your presiding officer John D. Kernan, of Oneida county. I'll tit used by Kernan. As Mr. Kernan rose to his feet, the enthusiasm was vociferous. Quiet finaliy settled on the crowd ami Mr. Kernan addressed the delegates in a lengthy speech touching the meaning and intent of the gathering. When lie referred to the fact that the convention knew something about ('rover Cleve land, the entire body seemed to be upon its feet, with lifted voices, waving arms, slashing canes, waving fans and hauderchiefs, hats and umbrellas. The ladies caught the enthusiasm of the moment and added to the scene the waving of their fans and kerchiefs. The speaker's reference to Horatio Seymour met with quick recognition, as did also his reference to silver and silver legis lation. At the close of the address the secre tary read the roll of the delegates for confirmation and substitutions. When the motiou for a committee on creden tials was pending a delegate arose to object that the convention would do better to decide first whether it would send delegates to Chicago. The chair man, however, stated that the question would go first to the proper committee, and thus to the convention. Then, after naming committees, the conven tion adjourned to 3:30 p. in. The convention reassembled at 4:15, and the temporary organization was made permanent. • Ellery Anderson, chairman of the committees on resolu tions, sent up the platform as prepared and revised by the committee during recess. It reads: The Platform. We. the delegates of the Democratic party of the state of New York, assembled in con vention at Syracuse, declare that the most urgent necessity of the Union is a radical reform in the administration of the federal government. We declare that the Democratic party alone is true to the people and alone can be trusted to administer the government of this nation in their interest. We denounce the Republican party for its abuse of power during the past four years. Obtaining in 1889 control at i he executive and both' branches :: of congress, that party entered upon a course of extravagance, tyranny and fraud. It found the treasury in receipt of a large and increasing surplus, but, disregarding the duty thus imposed upon it to relieve the Deople "from the oppressive tariff taxation so long endured. the '•'publican party, through its '.'billion-dollar congress." enacted appro- . priations amounting to S">00, 000,000 annually. It made most of these appropriations perma nent, so that they cannot be reduced by the present Democratic house of representatives without tho concurrence of the Republican senate. It turned a magnificent surplus into a deficiency. It deprived the state of New York of its "list representation in congress and in the electoral cohege. It displayed an utter contempt for economy and honesty by its fraudulent administration of the tension office. It reached a climcx of partisan op pression in its strenuous endeavor to enact lntolaTV the infamous force bill. A S-'atisryiMg Contrast. . Contrasted with ■ this history of extrava gance and oppression, we recall with ever incrcasitig satisfaction tbe wise and prudent Democratic administration of Grover Cleve land. He pointed out in his message or De cember, 18t>7. the true mission of the Demo cratic party, aud through temporary defeat .brought it to them auain in the magnificent -victories of IS9O and 1891. All this has been remembered by our brethren in other states from the Atlantic to ■ the Pacific: and New Yorn, we emphatically declare, shall not be a blank space udou the Democratic map. ' We deneunce the "tfcKiuley tariff: we de clare that a tariff is a tax:' that ail taxation is a burden; that it should never exceed the necessities of . a government wisely and economically administered We condemn the present tariff, not only, Decause it is ex cessive and restrictive of the commercial de velopment of the country, but because it has been enacted in the interests of a few at the expanse and for the oppression' of the mass of the people. It is class legislation.-'-.'- " It does not increase the receipts of wage earuers, but it turns over to the protected manufacturer, ever Decoming more and more rapacious, the federal treasury arid the tax ing power of the federal government to use for their own benefit, and it leaves it to.them to decide whether or not the wageearners they employ shall receive any part of this "enormous "boiinly. It is an inexhaustible source of corruption, a constant menace to •free government. It has sapped the inde pendence of industry, and an inevitable eon- 1 sequence is that the" classin receipt of these pecuniary favors should seek to perpetuate their grasp upon the government. , - r • -The Democratic party has no more urgent mission than to destroy a system productive of so much evil and, in a spirit of modera tion, with due regard to the interests of cap ital now invested and labor now employed in protected- industries, the paramount duty of the party is to continue its opposition to the tariff until, all customs taxation is en acted for revenue only. ;-..; . * ;; ; ■ "• --j . . . .Reciprocity and Rhino. Recent change in the policy of the Repub , lican party from a general • system of nigh j tariff taxes to the reciprocity system is an ; admission of the vast benefits .to be derived : from the extension of • our foreign trade and ■ of the justice of the tariff reform principle. We approve the use of gold and silver as i money, and we demand that all dollars, : whether gold or silver.shall be equal in value ! ' to each other in fact as well as by declaration of law. We are opposed to the freecoinaee of silver by the United States alone at the ex isting rate of sixteen to one, because we be lieve that free coinage at that ratio will result in the immediate disappearance of gold from - the business of this country, the use of silver with certain loss to every wage earner and every savings bank depositor with impair ment of credit and disastrous disturbance of every kind. "We * dzmand the repeal of the Sherman silver law of 1593 as an obstruction of international bimetallism, and because of this rapidly bringing this country to silver' mono-metalism with all of its attending evils. "^BpsVwQsPKHHBBBBsPV^ta Some -'Oriental "Elements."* "We recognize the necessity of an organiza- . tion through which the party may direct its energies, but when such an organization claims to be the party itself instead of its in strument, when it suppresses the voice and misrepresents the desire of the party, when it calls the caucuses at unaccustomed sea sons and upon insufficient notice; when,re gardless of the votes cast in places upon the convention roll and admits to the convention ' only those who. without respect to the voice and wishes of their' constituents, will agree in advance to support the scheme and oligarchy it has established; when it gives notices in advance that they who will not agree to be as subservient will not be ad mitted; when it ceases to be representative, creates discontent, rouses sentiment aud im perils the success of the party. In this emergency it becomes the duty of the original elements of the party to take' such notice as will restore to it just relations between its members and their agents. We believe in and demand fair primaries, fair conventions, fair elections, fair returns, and the faithful observance of the verdict of the ballot box. A Pledge to Grover. The Democratic party retains unshaken confidence in the ability and lofty integrity of Orover Cleveland and in his devotion to public duty. He is the choice of an over whelming majority of the Democrats of New York and the country with confidence in his ability to carry the state triumphantly iii November. We believe 'that by nominating him to lead the party la the approaching contest for the presidency the national con vention will carry out the almost unanimous wish of the party, and best consult the wel fare of the country. We pledge ourselves to support the candidates nominated In-' Chi cago. The delegation chosen by this con vention is instructed to act as a unit accord ing to the determination of the majority of its members. The denouncement of the midwinter convention was greeted with vociferous applause.. The reference to Grover Cleveland as being able to carry the state moved the convention to its feet with a storm of applause, while the affirmation that the convention and its constituencies would support the nom inee at Chicago, Whoever He might Be, was greeted by a burst of cheers that left no doubt as to the purpose of the convention. At the close of the reading the throng was again upon its feet, and the applause was long and uproarious. When quiet had been restored.and after I several had spoken in eulogy of Cleve land, the platform was adopted. Mr. Pease, of Saratoga, a member of the resolutions committee, then pre sented as a supplementary to the plat form the following resolution, which was adopted : Kesolved, That this convention approve, indorse ami point with pride to tha admin istration of Grover Cleveland, and we recom mend him to the Democratic part; and the patriotic people of the country for" election again to the presidency. Does Not Fear' Disunion. There were loud calls for "Grace."' and in response the ex-mayor spoke as -follows: '"The grand object of this con vention is not to sow dissension in the Democratic party. [Applause.] It lias sought to enable all Democrats to come together, and fight shoulder to shoulder like men who believe in honest princi ples, abandoning and forgiving every evil of the past, and march forward on the grand road for the elevation of the greatest man that lias been president of the Tj nion during our generation. I can probably speak with something of knowledge of the city of New York, and I will say here most sincerely that Ido not fear any dissension on the electoral ticket next fall." [Applause.] Ex- Secretary of the Treasury Fair child presented the following resolu tion: Whereas, the object of this convention is to correct the wrong done to the Democrats of New York by the convention held at Albany Feb. '_'" last, in the selection of a delegation to Chicago not representative of their will, and. c Whereas, we realize that tin action of the electoral college clearly registers the will of the party, as proposed at the national con vention and expressed at the polls, now. therefore, better to assure the Democratic party that we have no other wish than that . the will of the party shall be fairly ascer tained nnd registered by the electoral col lege, we hereby nominate as electors for president and vice president of the United Slates the electors named at the Albany con vention in February. The resolution was adopted and the nominations were thus indorsed, after which the convention adjourned sine die. _ " ■'• : . ;• ■^s.*- -:'-•'-' CLARKSON'S TALK. After a Conference the Chairman Explains. * **"■•' ". Chicago, May 31.— Gen. Clarksoii's party arrived tonight and the chairman at once locked himself in a room with the following committeemen: Hyde, of Massachusetts; Conger, of Ohio; Paine, of Massachusetts, and Sanborne, of Michigan. Con gressman F. P. Allen, the Michigan Alger advocate, was admitted shortly after. During the entire hour and a halt during which the conference lasted two typewriters were kept in constant use in an adjoining room. The presence of Mr. Allen at the conference gave rise to the rumor that final ar rangements ' were being made for the springing of the Blaine-Alger ticket. Mr. Allen is not a delegate to the conference,"* and his presence in Chi cago was explained by shrewd guessers on the ground that he came to confer in the interest of Gen. Alger. J. bloat Fassett said the two names on the ticket would be those of a Western man and a soldier. That anything, however, had been done at this conference ex cept asranging for the trip to Minne apolis was denied at its close by Chair man Clarkson and all present.- The party will leave for Minneapolis tomor row morning. . Mr. Clarkson said: -'I have not an nounced my personal preference, lam a delegate from lowa, but 1 am iinin structed. Mr. Blame had the support of my state in '70. 'SO and '84, and he would have had it in '88. I. have no reason to believe the state has changed any. Mr. Blame has said he is not a candidate. Neither is he, but there is a difference between not being a can didate and refusing to grant the de mands of a convention. I do not be lieve that any man would absolutely refuse the nomination." '.''■■'.' *:r." : " "Is there any possibility that Blame will issue another letter similar to his last public one to Mr. Clarkson?". .. •'Frankly 1 think stationery is scarce n the Blame- mansion at present. Mr. Blame's next letter will be one of ac ceptance." Ex-Gov. Gear said that if Mr. Clark son said lowa was in favor of Blame he was mistaken. Mr. Gear is a delegate at large from lowa, and says that a ma jority of Republicans and many of its delegates are supporters of Harrison. ALL FOR BLAINE. Sentiments of a Party of Politi cians. ~ Washington, May 31.— The advance guard of politicians will leave for Min neapolis tomorrow afternoon,, and will be followed by the newspaper men to morrow night. The ' former ' will con sist of Senators Gallinger. Pettigrew, Sawyer, Quay and Jones, of Nevada, ex-Senator Mahone, Representative Burrows and Senator Stockbridge. They agree as to the .outcome of the convention which they propose to at tend. "Blame will be nominated hands down," is the prediction of Senator Jones. Senator Gallinger said: "lam now and have been for some time in favor of the nomination of Alger, but from present indications I think that Blame will be selected." Senator Perkins, of Kansas, who is not a delegate, says that it looks very much as if Blame would be nominated, and Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, who is a delegate, is confident that this will be the result. : "■"'. . - Harrison at All Hazards. Chicago, May - 31.— The advance guard of the Indiana delegation passed through this city this " evening. , Gen. J. C. New remained behind. In an in terview Delegate R. R.

Some Tall Shouting for Blame Expected at the Right .4« Moment. V| While not a solitary man of national; Republican Importance has shown, up* in Minneapolis as yet, and while the, city is on hospitable cares so intent that it is oblivious to all else, there one, fact which is already so conspicuously-, apparent that it cannot be overlooked.- It is that the coming great convention will not be the cut-and-dried affair that? so many anticipated and feared. It will be: thing, else. The politician who carries off the nomination will only do so after a very fierce fight. Tiie Harris son men may -talk of the number of in structed delegations and the Blame' men may shout of the . "great popular feeling" for their. feeble demi-god, bnt<; the fact is that the fight is more open than, it has been in any Republican, conven tion since the grip of ("rant slipped from the throat of the party. Most : £ of the. local politicians will, in their cooler mot ; admit the truth of this, much -as"' they may shout in public. The Harri son cohorts are the most confident.'. On ; the face of the state convention results 1 they have the numerical . strength," and they talk accordingly. The Blame fol lowers are talking platitudes and ex pecting some sort of a miracle to land | their idol on the crest ot the wave. But there is a great deal of quiet work which . is not going in the direction of either Blame or Harrison, but which may be a powerful factor in naming the next vic tim of the popular will as expressed at the polls next November. But of this Minneapolis knows little, and cares less. And it is greatly to liej credit. -When the effort was making to ' secure the gathering for the Flour City, j the pledge was given that in -'thy free air of the Northwest the sentiment of each delegate would be allowed l'uli'. play and there would be no local in fluence as to choice or platform. This j pledge the city proposes to redeem. The ' men who are in charge of the vast and : complicated arrangements, while thi-y are most of them active politicians, are giving no thought to the candidacy of this or that man, or to the engrafting of this or that dogma in the platform, but are putting in their time and energy to making perfect the arrangements to hospitably receive and care* for; the crowds that are expected. They are not trying to dictate to the delegates where and upon whom their choice should alight. On the contrary, they announce to all that they will be the guests of the city during the convention, and as guests they will be accorded the fullest liberty of thought and; action. The country and the candidates will applaud this action. This convention work is a" great un dertaking. Ask any man who has been giving to it his entire time for the past two. months. The city is full of it. Vlt absorbs and dominates everything else. Beyond the scores of men who are en-' trusted with minor details which do not occupy their entire time, there are fully one hundred: good and competent men. who are doing nothing else from morn till night but struggle with the problem of how to so care for the convention visitors that they will quit the city. with the firm idea that it is the only conven tion city in the country."': This is now the supreme ambition of every loyal Minneapolitan, and he is deserving of all piaise for his sacrificial duvotson. ?j NEWEL AND LiANGDON. "* Some Gossip Started by the For mer in Minneapolis. i"H". ■ The historic side whiskers, of Hon. Stanford Newel floated to the winds of Minneapolis all day yesterday. \ The judge took the plebeian electric line, but once within the limits of the Convention^ City he was at once transferred to the more patrician vehicle, a 1 handsome! brougham, the reins of which were deftly manipulated by R. B. Langdon. Later in the day, when his mission was accomplished, he again; resumed, the' meek and lowly electric train and smil ingly returned to his native heath. Judge Newel was .not after the membership ou the national comraitte— at least that was not the mission with which he was, credited. \ The alert politicians of : the convention city when they saw him in the chariot with Mr. Langdon put an- ; other construction upon his visit. "Ah! There -is ■ an ' Alger deal," was the ex clamation of one :• of them. After this •■ episode there was more or less gossip through the. city ": to the effect .that Judge Newel would be the Langdon of ■ the Minnesota delegation. The mean-' ing of this will bears •■ a little expla nation. Inmost of the national Repub lican gatherings, where -rLangdou: has* '■■ been honored with a seat, he has been M yariatics with th«" rest of the delega- | tion: WnsU" the state was so "solid, for. Blame .in -1884: it will he remembered-., that Langdon was .not with the delega tion until the last. He was for Alger, { : who. is a near connection to the wealthy Minneapolitan. Again in. 1888, when the state was a unit.Langdon's heart was \ true to Poll. ; . It is now rumored- that Langdon, though not in the . delegation,*' is not entirely asleep, when the candi- I SDAY ; MORNING, : JTOE^ 1, 1892. • •••*———•*■•-.-••.••--.»- - . ■' - 1 "-■ • ' DON'T BE IN A HURRY, MR. HARRISON. dacy of Alger is at a critical point, and that he is ; making converts wherever and whenever he Van. . It is not to bo presumed that he has secured the pow erful vote, and more powerful Influence t of Judge Newel for Alger, but it is well enough known that the latter is not en rapport with the boom for Harrison, nor is ho in the arms of the cool and calcu lating Blame; so the idle speculator may be pardoned for- putting this and that together and surmising that per ; haps the judge will be the Minnesota evangel to shout the name of Alger and carry it to victory when the names of ; Blame and Harrison shall have lost their conjuring powers. However, if the visit' of Newel was ; ! not for the purpose of. fostering the : Alger boom, it was not for the purpose ; of undermining the props which sup port the stout frame of Bob Evans, it j is given out that he regards that little tasK 100 great for even his persuasive ; powers. The well-fed member for Mm: -: nesota feels no uneasiness on that score, and is devoting himself to the work of faring for the expected multitudes, oblivious even to the. existence of the ; popular patriot of St. Paul.

Minneapolis^ Jv-Hl ask them of 7 the incomings, delegate, and the incoming delegate will iv turn ask it of the first man .he "meets, when he debarks from his excursion train. But there is one man- in -Minneapolis who will never ask it--one man whose faith never wavers, and who believes that the sun itself shines only to f light up the. path of James G. . Blaine. It is needless to say that man is' William H. Eustis. Yesterday afternoon he sat: in toe general . .headquarters and good naturedly exchanged badinage with K. U. Evans. It may be remarked that ; in all his political dissertations Eustis may grow excited, often grows eloquent and always is enthusiastic, but he never loses his temper. Mention the magic name of -Blaine, and it is like a trumpet call to battle with him. ■■■-•■ '■■- "Will lie be nominated?" he said. Why, no power in the universe can pre vent it. Credit the man with sincerity, and what else could he do but what he has done. .-He is iv a singular position. In IS 1- -! he was chosen the leader of the : party. and led it to defeat. He could not now offer himself as the leader,' and. he will not. He is -a man of sentiment. 1 But I tell you," and the. face of. the speaker shone with the light of a groat 'enthusiasm, "the people want him, and 'When tiiev call him out as their leader he cannot" refuse. No one man can stand 'in opposition to the wishes of a whole people, and the people, want Blame." \ After a few more glowing though • trite remarks on the Maine man, Mr. Eustis fell into a philosophical mood, and continued: xi' The time has come when the second term will be heard of no more in this /country, except in some , great emer gency : or iii the case of some great na tional ' hero. It is right that it is so.- The nation is too great to permit it. We have too many great men for . any one man, whoever he may be, to be allowed to twice sit In the presidential chair. It will never be seen in the lifetime of any of us. In justice to the sons ot America, -to every one of whom the - great presi dential office should be held up as an 'aspiring possibility, one term should be sufficient. ■ - . -. ; f. .

The best posted man.in the city is all at sea when the subject ' is mentioned. Tfiven the Blame boomers,' who should be most vitally interested," are as inno cent as the others. If such a thing should .happen as the nomination and. election of Blame, the choice of a running mate is of the highest importance, for it is conceded that . that -. '■■'■ man would v very likely be elevated to the * presidency - by the. death: of Blame before his term was half over; yet there is apparently. • no I thought of a combination -to meet this very emer gency. Naturally enough.the politicians with a strong presidential preference 'will not commit themselves on this sec ondary matter for fear of handicapping their favorite. Not a man in the politi cal circles of Minneapolis would say a word on the subject further than to ad mit that he had not figured beyond the head of the. ticket. Men* with a presi dential preference will blurt It out with out a moment's hesitation/ but when the same man is asked to 'name his choice for : the S second *; place , on the • ticket,' he is compelled ;to stop and think aud then acknowledge that.

Change of Belief by Teachers Should Be Followed* by Withdrawal. ! " ' i Portland, Ore., May 31.— The Pres byterians closed their meeting today after the following parting admonition against Briggism: : • The general assembly would remind all under its care that it is a fundamental doc trine that the old and : new : testaments are • the inspired and intlallible word of God. Our church holds that the inspired word came from God, and is without error. The assertion of the contrary cannot but shake the confidence of the people in the sacred boons. All who enter office in our church '• solemnly promise to receive them as the only inflallible rule of faith and practice. If they change their belief on 'this point,. Christian honor demands that they should [withdraw from our ministry. They have no right to use the pulpit or the chair of the professor for the dissemination of their errors until -they are deal! out by the slow process of discipline, but, if any do so act, their presbyteries should speedily interpose ' and deal with them for a violation of the vow taken at the beginning, whicu is obligatory until . the . party taking it is honorably and properly released from it. The assembly en- ' joins upon all its ministers, elders and pres byteries to be Mithful to the duty that is im posed upon them. "" ■'■■'■' :. The question of giving the members of the standing army and navy religious training was discussed in a paper pre sented by Dr. Bartley. It was claimed that many of the present chaplains of the army and navy are not able to preach. Thsy cannot get a pulpit in any of the churches, so they get a polit ical pull and join the army. The fact that soldiers gamble and get drunk on the military reservations was deplored and the assembly resolved to do all in . its power to secure uniformity in the mode of selecting army chaplains and to purify the army. ' The assembly appointed a committee on systematic benevolence. The treas urer of the board of assembly trustees reported the custody- of • $528,789, judi i ciously invested in bonds, etc. After adopting the usual resolutions for I courtesies received the assembly ad journed to meet in Washington in May, 1 - y3 * ;••'..- ■ ■ - - THE CHICAGO BREAK. Coster & Martin'- Will' Pay a Very . Small Amount. :if Chicago, May 31.— The losses of the trade by ihe Coster & Martin failure are more severe, it is believed, than those suffered by the collapse of S. V. White & Co. The latter firm owed about $400,000 on the board here and paid fifty cents on the dollar. It is im- - agined that Coster and Martin will owe almost as much and it is impossible that the firm can pay much in settlement,- as - the shrinkage was taken off the price of corn in live minutes with no chance at all that much of it will ever be recov ered. . — ■ — —i Homesick Indian Pupils. . Omaha, Neb., May 31.— Eighteen pupils at the government Indian school at Genoa,' Neb., ran away Saturday night and started for their homes in i Arizona on foot.

Be the Man Se- ; v lected. Sergeant-at-Arms Meek Says Blame, but Receives a Boy r From Alger, Are All the Anti-Blame Lead* ers Doing the Very Same Thing? Gen. Stewart L. Woodford* One of the Leaders of the "Half-Breeds," Declares Himself a Worshiper of the Maine Man and His Friend, Bnt Favors Harrison, Believ ing the Secretary Out of the Race. "The : anti-Harrison men who are at present shouting ;so loudly for Blame, have : no idea of nominating him," re marked Secretary McCrory, of the Min neapolis citizens' executive committee, yesterday afternoon." All they hope to accomplish by this is to stir up and con solidate the opposition to the renomi na tion of President Harrison. They rec ognize the influence of ; Blame's name.' v !^J§jj»?'H-tek i K. A. ALGER. - -'/V .;" But it is doubtful if they even ; present it to the convention. -When the right time comes they will spring some other man and attempt to throw all the Blame men to him." ; "Who is the dark horse they have in mind?" '.•Either. Gen. Alger or Gov. McKin ley," was the answer. '/Starting out with "this cue a repre sentative of the Gi.obk called on a number of prominent Harrison men and found they were all of the same opinion as Secretary McCrory. At the West hotel, where Gen. Alger has se cured elaborate headquarters, some valuable information was accidentally stumbled upon which goes far toward - showing that the man the Blame boom ers have in view is none other than Gen. Russeil A. Alger, of Michigan. and that all the leaders in the Blame move ment are well posted on the fact and all the details of the scheme, and how it is : to be worked out. . ;••-.. l Several days ago a large box arrived at the West hotel billed from Detroit., the home and working headquarters of the Alger boom, and addressed to Ser geant-at-Arms Meek, of the national committee.*. Mr. Meek did not arrive in Minneapolis until Sunday, and when he did arrive proved to be a staunch Blame man; and at. once proceeded to pour comfort and consolation into the souls of W. H. Eustis and all the other ad mirers of the secretary of state, who are honestly for Mr. Blame and believe that he will be nominated: : : But yesterday afternoon the porter, who had stored away this box from De troit, chanced to see it, and at once re membered that |it had -not been deliv ered, and that the man to whom.it was addressed - had .f appeared on the scene. He at once went to the chief clerk and announced that he had a box for Mr. Meek. .-.';-;.'■ "It came last week," he said, "and is from Detroit." ; "How large is it?" asked the clerk. . "It's a good-sized box," was the reply, ."and is filled with papers, I think," an swered the man. v.vt O'iWell, wait until he comes in, and we will see where he wants it." : Is Sergeant-at-Arms Meek, who is so loudly proclaiming his devotion to the cause. of the" Plumed Kuighc, really working for Gen. Alger? ■ ->; . It looks that .way. Indeed, it is the only way the casual observer of the box incident can explain the position of Mr. Meek. - He is known to stand well .with the leaders of the Blame movement, and, if he is really for Gen. Alger, it is only fair to i presume that all that ele ment v are. Of . course, in case it becomes evident that Gen. Alger cannot secure the votes of all the anti-Harrison men, the plan is to drop him and take; up r a new "'man— McKinley, of ; Ohio, Allison, of lowa, or any one of a half dozen ; others. ~" j- Another 'thing- that goes far toward proving the -existence of* a scheme to turn the 'Blame tide toward some else, : and probably Gen.* Alger, is the remarkable manner in which the anti- Harrison campaign is being - managed. * The leaders, though; widely" scattered, all seem to be posted perfectly as to each other's. plans, aud all of them talk, act and work alike. ' :' : In view all these facts it looks as though it will be Blame until the dele- ; gates get on the ground, and then it will be "anybody ,to beat Harrison."., r • / :: ** \ BLAINE OUT OF THE RACE.
