GOT TWO FARMERS’ VOTES.- Moore and Cockrell Ended the Great Struggle by Casting Their Ballots for the ex-Governor—Taubenbeck Stuck to Streeter to the Last. SPRINGFIELD, Ills., March 12.—On the 154th ballot, taken Wednesday at noon, John M. Palmer was elected to the United States senate to succeed Charles B. Far- well. Moore and Cockrell, F. M. B. A. members, voted for General Palmer. The 154th ballot resulted as follows: Palmer, 103; Lindley, 100; Streeter, 1. Taubenbeck voted for Streeter. Palmer was declared elected, and the most exciting scenes ever witnessed on a representative floor then took place. When Taubenbeck voted for Streeter he dropped back in his chair and cried freely. The first subject that the F. M. B. A. men questioned General Palmer about in their conference Tuesday night was the Pacific railroads. He replied: “I have never had any particular views upon that subject beyond a belief in the enforcement of the rights \Of the government in the matter. I con- sider those rights to be simply those of any other cred- itors.” Q. TO take possession of the property? A. If need be, yes; meas- ures should be taken at once to enforce the rights 37' of the government "" against the roads. My idea. has been that the purpose JOHN M. PALMER. of the roads was ultimately to cheat the government. I think that every honest man should try to prevent that. Regarding the proposition to extend the payment of the Pacific railroad debts sixty or seventy years, General Palmer said: “01 course such an arrangement ought not to be made unless it is made with a view of obtaining better security for the govern- ment.” 'He had no doubt, he said, that there was in congress an organized corrupt representation not only of the Pacific rail- roads, but of many other corporate inter- ests, that should be unearthed. General Palmer’s views were next asked on the question of money. The liloney Question. Q. Are you in favor of the abolition of the national bank circulation? A. Yes. Q. You believe that all money should be issued and coined by the government and all circulation controlled by the gov- ernment? A. Yes. As I have stated dur- ing the canvass and perhaps to you before, I at one time entertained the view that the power of the government to coin money was derived from the constitution, and was limited to the mere conversion of the precious metals into coin, but that in the progress of time the public mind had reached a point that the government was furnishing that which served all the pur- poses of money. I think I stated that in 1874. I took the ground that the govern- ment should furnish all that was to be created as money for public purposes. Q. And should control its volume in the interest and for the benefit of the people ex- clusively. A. Unquestionably the govern- ment is the sole money making power of the country. I advanced these views in 1874, and they were published in article after article in The State Register when I owned it. Some were written by Major Souther under my direction and some by myself. A Graded Income Tax. Q. I believe you favor :1 graded income tax? A. I believe I said in 11 former con- versation that in adjusting the revenues of this country an income tax will become a necessity, in my judgment. It will be an income tax,_ however, that should be so graded as not to reach the labor and sub- stance Of the people. Q. All that we are going to ask you in regard to certain other questions is that we want you to say, not whether you in- dorse them or not, but that you will give us assurances that you will investigate them. Mr. Cockrell then entered into a general discussion of the condition of the,country from a farmer’s standpoint, and found his views in practical accord to a large extent with those of General Palmer. Mr. Cook- rell called attention to the fact that Gen- eral Palmer was already far advanced in years, and General Palmer said he never expected to be a candidate for senator again, and that he would have but one ambition in Washington—to do the best he could for the peOple. “One thing we admire about you, gen- eral,” said Mr. Cockrell in conclusion, “ that you have stood as the representative of your party, and have made no conces- sions 01' offers to trade or barter.” 'The Farmers’ Manifesto. Representatives Moore and Cockrell is- sued a long address to their party, setting forth the efforts they have made to secure the election of an independent candidate to the senate—their efforts with. the Re- dublican party and the attempt to elect Streeter (F. M. B. A.). They go on to say that the Republicans have secured from Streeter such concessions and promises as would, if carried out, entirely unfit him for representing conscientiously the prin- ‘ ciples of the Farmers’ party. Finding it absolutely impossible to elect an independent, they have concluded that their next duty is to select a man who, while not representing the principles of their organization in full, is in sympathy with many of their demands and concedes the need of redress in the legislation that has grown up under the rule of corpora.- tions and monopolies. The voice of the people of the state should be respected in the choice of a senator, and that voice, so far as expressed in the last election, was unquestionably in favor of John M. Pal- mer. Decided to Vote for Palmer. “Becoming satisfied that we could not elect a. man who would fully represent our people,” they add, “we called on Mr. Palmer in the interest of our people to as- certain what assurances and hopes he would give us in regard to his future 001- cial action affecting such legislation as our people demand. This interview, we must say, was satisfactory, even beyond our expectations. General Palmer has earned our admiration by his manly way of conducting his fight this winter in 're- fusing to allow any corrupt influences to - be used in his behalf. “While he does‘not fully represent 11s. he has forced us to believe that be is an honest man. While this has been a pro- longed contest, we feel that the effect is good; that it has forced the politicians to admit there' 15 something wrong. We are more firmly convinced than ever that the future prospelity and happiness of this country depend upon the success and growth of an independent party. The In- dependent political movement by the toil- ing millions 15 the only hope of the people. In View of the facts above stated we will cast our votes for John M. Palmer and bring this prolongedcontest to a close.” PALMER'S CAREER. General Palmer is 75 years old, but has all the physical vigor of a strong man of fifty. He has been closely identified with Illinois politics for forty years, having been :1 leader in both parties, and by each given all the honors it had to bestow. Up to the opening Of the war Palmer was a Democrat, but had never held office. He went into the war as :1 colonel and came out a major general. After the war he affiliated with the Republican party, and in 1868 he was elected governor. \Vhen the great Chicago fire occurred General Sheridan, who was then stationed in that city, without consulting the governor took it upon himself to guard the city. Colonel Grosvenor, a. veteran and well known citi- zen, was shot and killed by a sentry be- cause he did not answer :1 challenge promptly. Then Governor Palmer informed General Sheridan that when the state needed the assistance of the United States govern- ment it could ask for it through its propeI representatives. He also telegraphed President Grant that if the Federal troops. were not at once withdrawn from Chicagc he would call out the state militia and drive them out. The governor being clear- ly in the right the president instructed General Sheridan to take away his soldiers, and the state policed the city. Joined the Democracy. In 1812 General Palmer's term as gov ernor ended, and about that time he ceased all connection with the Republican party and soon after openly joined the Democ racy. Since then, while always active in the councils of that organization, he was little seen in public life, quietly practicing law in Springfield unti‘: '1888, when the Democrats nominated him for governor. During that campaign he made speeches in every county in the state. He was beaten by Governor Fifer, but by only 12,000 votes, while President Harrison had a majority of over 25,000. Last year he was nominated at the Dem- ocratic state convention for the United States senate to succeed Senator Farwell, the idea being that such :1 nomination came as close to electing a senator by pop- ular vote as can be gotten at under exist- ing laws. The ~general again took the stump as a. candidate of his party, and can- vassed the state as he did three years agc when running for governor. In the conference with the representa- tives of the F. M. B. A. he said, although his health was admirable, he had nearly reached the limit of political activity, and would regard his election to the United States senate as the crowning honor. Charged with the Vitriol Throwing. NEW YORK, March 12.—Joseph Baron (less, Abraham Arause, David Bloom Pentz Goldsl'ein, Samuel Schauer, Barrucl Epstein, Philip Rosenberg, Louis Machlin Israel Turchcs, Moses Senken, Joseph Be- lasky and J ulius Letz, the striking cloak. makers who are charged with committing the vitriol outrage upon Hermann Green- baum’s household at Jamaica, L. 1., 01: Monday last, were arraigned in court to- day. They were all heavily handcuffed and guarded by a large force of police. Barondess, the strikers’ leader, claimed t: have been out of town when the affair occurred. The others also protested thei1 innocence. The judge ordered them to 1): taken to Jamaica and turned over to the authorities there. A strong posse of de tectives then took the prisoners to that place. Italy and the Vatican. ROME, March 12.—Premier Rndini has Opened negotiations with the Vatican witl 11 view to bringing about a friendly under- standing between the papal authorities and the Italian government. Certain con. cessions to the Catholics would be prelimi nary to an arrangement. The premier ex- plains the delay in bringing forward meas ‘ ures to induce a modification of the existing prohibitions in Germany against religious bodies as being due to the excitement or the subject which has existed among the Protestants. This excitement, Marquis d: Rudini declares, is now subsiding, and a state of affairs is expected which will enable the German government to make good its friendly intentions. A Snowballing \Vhich \Vasn’t Funny. PALMER, Mass, March 12,—Andrew Mi- l1oeski, a Polander, aged about twenty-six, was killed by the noon train on the “’are River road, at lVare.

The Senate Deadlock Over the Rules Broken by a. Compromise. ALBANY, March l2.—It was almost half . past 3 o’clock Wednesday morning when the remnant of the thirty-two senators and fifteen correspondents issued from the senate chamber. At half, past2 the first ‘call of the senate was suspended, and an attempt made to proceed with business. The same failure was made, and Senator Fassett again moved a call of the senate, and the sergeant—at—arms was 'sent after Senators O’Connor, Collins, Sheard and Jacobs, all of whom had departed under' variouspretenses. Roll calls at that time were answered from various corners of the senate chamber, the members being wrap- ped up in their great coats and asleep on the lounges. At 3 o’clock the call was again suspended, and at a quarter past 3 it was agreed to compromise. The Repub- licans, through 111'. Fassett, offered an amendment to I ule 3 as follow s: “He [the lieutenant governm] shall have the right, when in the city of Albany, to designate in writing a member to perform his duties, but not for any longer time than twenty-four hours from the time of making such designation, which may be revoked at any time by the senate.” The amendment was immediately adopt— ed and the senate adjourned. The senate at the time of adjournment had been in session thirteen consecutive hours, and had not done any business for one week. The compromise amounts to nothing, as both parties have the same liberties as heretofore. In the Assembly. In the assembly the following bills passed: Mr. Sheard’s, for the relief of the Ro- man Catholic religious societies at Chitte- nango; Mr. Acker’s, appropriating $7,000 for the purpose Of building aslope wall along the canal at Corning. Another Kink Straightcned. CHICAGO, March 12.—The VVorld’s fair transportation puzzle has apparently been solved by the engineer, E. L. Corthell. By his plan all the steam surface roads will utilize the Illinois Central tracks, which are to be elevated for a. considerable dis- tunes. The streets crossing the tracks and entering Jackson park are to be depressed and the subways thus created will be used by the cable lines, other street vehicles and pedestrians. The expense will be appor- tioned between the Exposition company, the city and the various transportation lines. It is said that all the railroads in- terested have informally approved the plan.
