'SergeantSat-arms Byrues Busy Selecting
Stair of 1.500. ~
ST. LOUIS, J une 4.—Sergeant-at-arms
'Byrnes of the Republican national con
Vention has opened permanent headquar-
' ters at the Southern hotel, where he will
remain continuously until after the con-
vention. Mr. Byrnes said that he would
be kept busy from this time on with the
selection ofhis assistants. He has the ap-
. pointing of 1,500 men who will serve in
one capacity or another during the con-
vention, and for these places he has re-
ceived probably 15,000 applications.
Another big job will be the distribution
of 5,000 badges. Seven days hence the na-
tional committee will meet at the South-
ern hotel to take up the matter of the con-
tested seats in the convention. There are
170 seats of delegates from the 48 states
and territories that are in dispute, and the
committee will have to sit as a court and
hear all the evidence of both sides and de-
termine who are the rightful delegates.
. Campbell In the Race.
WASHINGTON, June 4.—Ex-Governor
James E. Campbell has arrived in Wash-
ington for another consultation with John
R. McLean and the other free silver lead-
ers from Ohio. Mr. Campbell is now a
full fledged presidential candidate and is
trying to secure the indorsement of the
Ohio state convention. He has Attorney
General Harmon also on his side. Camp-
bell says: “I feel quite certain that when
the Democrats meet they will exercise good
enough wisdom to frame a platform liberal
enough and broad enough for all members
of the party to stand upon. The silver
men appear to be in the majority and will
doubtless exercise the rights always accord-
ed a majority, but that is no reason for
imagining that the party will split into
fragments, as has been so cheerfully pre-
dicted by a good many people who don’t in
the least know what they are talking
about. ”
Blackburn Their Hero.
LEXINGTON. Ky., June 4.—The Demo-
cratic state convention is in session here.
The occasion is more than the usual state
convention, as there were 11 district con-
ventions held in the forenoon to select dele-
gates to the national Democratic conven-
tion at Chicago. The silver men control
9 out of the 11‘dis'tricts, so that the Ken—
tucky delegation, with its four free silver
delegates—at—large, stands almost solid for
the white metal. Senator Blackburn is
the hero of the occasion, many addressing
him as the Kentucky favorite for presi-
dent.
General Lee Reaches Havana.
HAVANA, June 4.—General Fitz Hugh

steamer was met by a gayly decorated tug
upon which ware Messrs. Williams, Van
Springer, Dr. Burgess and Senor Zaido,
representing the captain general. The
party boarded the Mascotte and extended
a cordial welcome to General Lee. General
Bradley Tyler Johnson and a number of
other Americans and a large crowd await-
ed General Lee ashore. There were no
demonstrations when he reached the
wharf. He was driven to the Hotel Yngia—
terra, where Mr. Williams had previously
secured a suit of rooms for him.

THE PRESIDENT ATTAGKED.
His Refusal to Sign the River and Har-
bor Bill Comes Up In the Son?
ate—Vilas and Smith Up-
hold the Veto.
WASHINGTON, J une 4.—In the senate
Mr. Vest (Dem., MO.), who, in the absence
of Mr. Frye, is in charge of the river and
harbor bill, sought to have the president’s
veto of that measure taken up. This was
opposed by r. Pettigrcw (Rep, S.‘ D. ),
in charge of t 'e Indian apprOpriatiou' bill
conference report. Mr. Vest urged 3 that
the suspension and possible destruction of
the work of improvement of internal wa-
terways was of more moment than any
other one subject save that of the national
honor. It was imperative that the ques-
tion be settled now, so that if the veto was
sustained it could be determined whether
another river and harbor bill was to be
framed. The bill and veto were tak‘qn up
-—yeas, 38; nays, 10. The negative vote
was cast by Democrats—Bate, Chilton,
Harris, Palmer and Vilas—5; Republic-
ans—Brown, Merrill. Pettigrew, Pritch-
ard and Teller—5: total, 10. The veto mes-
sage was then read. ‘
Vest Criticises the President.
Mr. Vest said the veto contained state-
ments which, however much he might're-
spect the high office of the president,
ought not to go unchallenged. The senator
did not question the president’s preroga-
tive, but the framers of the constitution
never had intended that this powar should
be exercised in the ordinary aflairs of the
government. It was to be a power to meet
extraordinary afiairs of the goverment. It
was to be a power to meet extraordinary
emergencies when popular passion had led
to hasty legislation or when a constitu-
tional question was involved. The early
presidents, who stood nearest to the con-
stitution, exercised the veto power but
seven times — twice by Washington, 5
times by Madison and never by Jefferson
or John Adams.
Mr. Vest then analyzed the statements
of the veto concerning extravagance. The
president had, he said, stated that the bill
made direct appropriations of about $14,-
000,000, while in fact they aggregated $12,-
608, 900, a difference of $1,391,100. This
was hardly characteristic of the exactness
of the cmanations of Mr. Cleveland, who
never had served in a legislative body and
seemed to have a tendency to minimize
the responsibility of a. legislator to his
constituents. _
The Charge of Extravagance.
Mr. Vest took up other items, showing
that the totals were less than the presi-
dent’s statements would indicate. The
senator said as to the general charge of ex-
travagance that this measure was com«
paratively reasonable. There Were items
open to question; yet, as in all legislation,
this was the result of compromise.
Mr. Vest said he had addressed a letter
to Gen oral Craighill, chief of engineers,
asking for the facts as to that statement of
the president that the bill contained appro-
priatious intended to serve private inter-
ests. General Craighill answered that the
latter had been “referred to the secretary
of war for instructions.” Up to this date
no information had been given. “So that
for reasons best known to the administra-
tion,” said Mr. Vest bitterly, “it is con-
sidered best not to go into details on these
charges, but to Indulge in general and rhe-
torical declamaticn as to the alleged ex-
travagance and favoritism contained in
it.” In the platform on which Mr. Cleve-
land was flrst nominated was a strong
plank for waterway improvements. and
his early messages indorsed these improve-
ments.
Sherman Supports the 1311].
Mr. Sherman said he would vote to pass
the bill over the veto because the improve-
ment of the waterways of the country was
one of the most important branches of na-
tional development, and one in which oth-
er great natlons were showing even greater
advance than the United States. The
senator expressed the opinion also that
the veto power could not be directed
against an appropriation bill. The legis-
lative branch was given the exclusive right
“to appropriate money.” f‘It is time to
cure this daily exercise of the veto power, ”
declared Mr. Sherman. ”It is a most ex-
treme power and a dangerous one unless
exercised only in the most extreme car‘s
involving constitutional questions. But
this wise restriction is set aside, and we
have a veto every week or so, every day or
so. I!
Vilas and Smith Uphold the Veto.
Mr. Smith (Dem., N. J.) said this dis-
cussion of the veto power was not new.
Jackson had seen fit to use it and was fol-
lowed by Pierce and Polk, and this veto
was in accord with established precedent.
The senator said that as a result of per-
sonal inquiry at the engineer department
he was able to state that this bill contained
appropriations Of $10, 500, 000 for projects
which had not been approved by the gov-
ernment engineers and $1,500,000 for proj-
ects which the engineers had reported as
unworthy.
Mr. Vilas (Dem., Wis.) said that the bill
contained important appropriations for
his state, but he could not bring himself
to the conviction that this great burden
should be added to the distressed shoulders
of the people. He regarded the criticisms
of the veto by Mr.‘ Vest as excessively
minute and inconsequential. The presi-
dent doubtless took the figures furnished
by the engineers, speaking broadly of the
millions involved. The appropriations at
this . congress would exceed $500,000,000
before reaching the river and harbor bill.
Congress had come to dealing. with vast
sums as lightly as would some oriental
prince who had no comprehension of val-
ues. - The appropriations of the present
congress would outstrip, Mr. Vilas said,
those of the congress which became fa-
mous as the “billion dollar congress.”
It would impose the highest measure of
taxation ever put on the people in a single
year, and to the top of this was to be added
another 850,000, 000 for rivers and harbors.
“Where was the money coming from?” he
asked. ‘Was it coming from more taxa-
tion or more bonds?
“Of course the secretary of the treasury
will have to stop paying When he has no
more money to pay with," exclaimed Mr.
Vilas, “but is it the desire of this congress
to drive the treasury into bankruptcy?
The senator'irOm Ohio," said Mr. Vilas,
“appealed for more revenue, as though
raising revenue was some legislative trick.
Instead of that more revenue meant more
taxation, sucked with the tremendous
force of law from the product of labor and
burning deeper the stripes into the shoul-
ders of labor. Because of this recklessness
of expenditure. ” Mr. Vilas said, “he would
vote to sustain the veto.”
