The Anti-Third Party Delegates Deter- mined to Carry Their Point. CINCINNATI, May 19.—The arrivals Mon. day of delegates to the National Union convention were numerous. Between fouI and five hundred came in from Kansas, 100 from Kentucky, and good sized con- tingents from Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Tennessee. Fully 1,000 members 01 various alliance and labor organizations are here, and every train adds its quota to the throng. Five of the eight representa- tives in congress from Kansas, Messrs. Otis, Clover, Simpson, Baker and Davis, are here. The Reform Press association held a meeting at the Emory hotel for the pur- pose of forming anational organization and arranging for an interchange of new: service. A conference was also held be tween the delegates from New York and Boston and those of the southern states, looking toward the reaching of an under- standing that would enable the northern and southern wings to work harmoniously on the floor of the convention. Those opposed to the formation of a third party, however, seem determined t1 carry their point. To Suppress the Kansas City Sun. TOPEKA, Kan., May 19.—C. L. Swartz correspondent of the Kansas City Sun, who has been in prison here for the past week on the charge of writing immoral articles for his paper, has been released on a writ of habeas corpus issued by the su- preme court. The-law under which Swartz was arrested was passed by the legislature only a few weeks ago, and while it was en titled an act to prevent the publication of obscene papers, it was intended for the sole purpose of suppressing The Sun, which had attacked the character of sev cral members of the legislature, and Swartz’s attorneys argued that the law was irregularly and fraudulently passed, and that the signature of the chairman 01 the judiciary committee of the senate was a forgery. The state authorities propose to make a vigorous fight against The Sun, and will resist every efiort to circulate the paper in Kansas. When the papers came to the express office here the police would not permit them to be taken out. A “’oman Clubbed to Death.
