National Ticket and Platform Not Alluded I‘D—Chairman liter-k Hanna. Comes East —— Ex-President Harri- son’s Views of Politics. . NEW YORK, July 29.—-The Democratic Jiate committee met at 1 o’clock this aft- arnoon at the Hofiman House. The ses- sion lasted only five minutes. Bufi‘alo was selected as the place for the state conven- tion. The date of the meeting will be Sept. 16. Saratoga was side tracked at the last minute. NO reference was made at the meeting to the Chicago plat- form or ticket. When members of the Democratic state committee and other party leaders began to gather in the Holi- man House and discuss the political situ- ation, they realized and were ready to ad- mit that the state committee at its meet- ing today would have to face a condition which has never before confronted the party organization in this state. The formality of calling a state conven- iioncwhlch is to nominate candidates for governor and lieutenant govern-m and presidential electors and adopt a platform was regarded as merely an incident of the situation and was rarely mentioned by those who talked of the condition that :onfronts the party. The question of accepting or rejecting the Chicago platform and candidates must be met at the state convention, and it was said that certain members of the state committee wanted that body to take some action today. All the efforts of the leaders had been directed to the end of preventing any action by the committee, and it was said that if resolutions indorsing or con- demning the Chicago ticket were offered they would probably be laid on the table as out of order, and in that way the mat- ter would go to the state convention. However the matter did not come up, or at any rate no information on that line was given to the press. A member of the national committee created by the Chicago convention who is now in the city is authority for the state- ment that, after all the talking that has been done, the national campaign head- quarters will be in New York. He says that national headquarters, so called, will be located in Washington, and from there most of the literature will be mailed, but that a branch office will be maintained in this city, and here the real campaign work will be done. Senator Butler’s Plane. RALEIGH, July 29, —— Ten days ago Senator Butler of this state, who, though the youngest, is one of the shrewdest of the Populist leaders. mapped out a pro- gramme at the Park hotel in this city to be carried out at St. Louis which went through very successfully. Butler was the temporary chairman of the convention, as he willed he should be. He succeeded in having SOWall turned down and a south- ern man nominated for vice president and in having himself placed at the head of the Populist party over older leaders like Senator Allen, and if he had been old enough he could have taken. the vice presi- His future plans, therefore, become matters of inter- eat. “The first thing Butler will do when he comes to Raleigh, ” said a prominent Pop- ulist today, “will be to begin operations whereby, before election day, he intends that the silver Democrats of this state shall agree to desert Sewall and support Wat- son, and in accordance with that plan only one set of electors’ names will be printed on the ballots to be sent out by the com- mittees to the Democratic and Populist county chairmen. Butler does not fail to see at the outset that McKinley will stand a good chance of carrying North Carolina if there is a division of the silver vote on two sets of electors. The first duty of the Democratic national committee would be, naturally, to see that no such deal takes place. But will it? It is understood that the new committeeman from this state (a young man named Josephus Daniels, a newspaper editor), who succeeds sound money General Ransom, will probably Wink at such a proceeding, as he has often been charged with an ovorfondness for Populist‘s for several years. “Butler’s next scheme is to get the Re- publican nominee for governor elected United States senator to succeed Senator Pritchard, who has been thrown overboard by his colleague, who was responsible for his election in the first place, because he supports McKinley and approves the gold standard platform of his party. By offer- ing Judge Russell this senatorial plum it is expected that he will come down as a. gubernatorial candidate and . throw his support to- the Populist candidate to be named next month, w ill be William A. Guthrie of Durham,- corporation at- torney and a brother-in-law of Colonel J. S. Carr, whom the Democrats wanted to nominate. “The next operation will be fusion in such districts as possible on congressional candidates with the free silver Democrats. ” ' General Harrison's Views. NEW YORK, July 29.-—“I do not care to discuss political matters at this time, ” said ex-Prssident Harrison to a reporter today at the Fifth Avenue hotel, “but I will say that, in my judgment, Indiana will give its electoral vote to the Republican candi- dates.” ”You have read the statements from some Republicans out there that the state is doubtful?” “ Yes, I have read them. I do not want to discuss them, however. I have been eway in the Adirondacks for some time and, of course, have no detailed knowledge of the situation at home. My opinion is based on the letters I have received from friends at home.” “Have you made any engagements as yet for speaking in the campaign?” “Not definitely,” replied General Har- rison. “.I anticipate making a number of speeches. but none has yet been settled upon. I expect to return. to the Adiron- dacks on Thursday.” ' The \Vlsconsin Silver Delegates. MILWAUKEE, July 29.—The silver dele- gates to the Democratic convention have given out an address to the public, re- plying to the letter published by the gold delegates, headed by Senator Vilas and General Bragg. It is devoted mainly to answering the charges promulgated by the gold men, but goes to some extent into the merits of the silver question. The point is made that the silver delegates obeyed their instructions until the chair- man of the Wisconsin delegation refused to allow the vote of the state to be cast for I I cents an hour. any presidential candidate, and that they then obtained permission from the presid- ing officer of the convention to cast their votes. In conclusion the Democrats of the state are urged to get together to see to it that silver men are sent to the state con- vention. r. '-:. Donnelly Is Angry. MINNEAPOLIS, July 29.—-Ignatius Don- nelly has returned home from St. Louis and in the next issue of his paper, The Representative, will say: “We have done. We shall support Mr. Bryan and the Pop- ulist state ticket until the end of. the cam- paign and we shall then withdraw from public life forever. We are tired of work- ing for those who would destroy us.” In speaking of Bryan’s nomination he says there were so many men at St. Louis who were candidates for office and hoped for Democratic indorsements in their respec- tive districts that they swept the conven- tion on to Bryan. He says that Bryan is talking too much and is standing over a powder magazine. - The Administration Apps-cached. WASHINGTON, July 29.—Former Repre- sentative Bynum of Indiana of the Demo- cratic committee has put himself in cor- respondence with administration leaders in,Washington. Among others he has ad- dressed himself to Secretary Carlisle and asked him to furnish the “sound money” committee at Chicago with a. list of known “sound money” Democrats in the south. The secretary has studiously refrained from saying whether he will support Mc— Kinley and bolt Bryan, and Mr. Bynum’s apparent assumption that he will take that step is the cause of some adverse criticism on the part of Mr. Carlisle’s friends. Horatio King to McKinley. Wnsr NEWTON, Muss., July 29.—Horatio King, err-postmaster general, has sent a letter to William McKinley, in which he says: “The danger now threatening the stability of the United States is most ap- palling. I earnestly entreat you to listen to the warning appeal of the Hon. Wil- liam C. Whitney. It is your opportunity to place your name along with that of Lincoln, high on the roll of honor and fame. You can well afford to set aside for the time being all minor political ques- tions and lead off resolutely in a war against the free silver craze, Populists and anarchists.” .. V Indiana Populist State Convention. INDIANAPOLIS, July 29.——The Populist state convention was very slimly attend- ed, only about 1000f the 900 delegates having put in an appearance. The Dem- ocrats are making strenuous efforts to ob- tain an indcrsement of their state ticket by having the nominations put in the hands of a committee with power to act and adjourning the convention. A long conference of the delegates present was held, but no action was taken. Shively, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, said that he would not decline the sup- port of the Populists if they nominated him. Perry County (Pa) Republicans. NEW BLOOMFIELD, Pa, ‘ July 29.—-’l‘he Perry county Republican ”convention, which was held here, adepted resolutions favoring McKinley and Hobart and call- ing for a higher protective tarifl, but omitting to indorse the St. Louis platform or to mention the money question. Dur- ing the afternoon session an address in fa- vor of free coinage was listened to by 600 persons on the courthouse lawn. Mark Hanna In New York. NEW YORK, July 29.—-Mark A. Hanna, chairman of the Republican national com- mittee, arrived today from Chicago and was driven to the Waldorf hotel. He said he could not give any outline at present as to his movements while here. He was somewhat at sea just at the moment. He did not know exactly when the first meet- ing of the committee in this city'would be old. The Brynn Notification. NEW YORK, July 29.-—Frank W. Sanger, manager of the Madison Square Garden, said today that, although no actual agree- ment had been made with Mr. St. John for the use of the Garden for the meeting at which Mr. Bryan will receive the noti- fication of his selection as candidate for the presidency, be considered the matter practically settled. .

Lehmaier Shot Down by the Man Who Was Protecting His Wife. ' THE GOUPLE’S DIFFERENCES. Their Numerous Quarrels Culminated In a Tragedy Brought on by the Hun- band's Attempt to Break Into His Wife's Apartments. NEW YORK, July 29.—The domestic troubles of the Lehmaier family, recently much aired in the courts, have at last reached their height in a tragedy. Michael Lehmaicr, the husband, lies dying in the New York hospital, shot down by his wife’s protector—her brother, she says; her former husband, he says. He and Mrs. Lehmaier are in jail, pleading self defense. The shooting took place in the boarding house at 49 West Thirty-fifth street. where the Lehmaiers live, at an early hour to- day. . Mrs. Lehmaler had gone to her home from court protesting that her husband was lying in wait to kill her. A police- man asserted her at her urgent demand and saw him hanging around, but when Lehmaier saw that his wife was not alone he disa peared, and Mrs. Lehmaier reach- ed her ome in safety. That was on Wednesday. The trial of Lehmaier for chasing her out of a second story window in one of his wild tantrums was fixed for yesterday, he meanwhile be- ing held in heavy bonds to keep the peace. It seems that in the meantime the man whom the woman calls her brother, but who, Lehmaier says, is her former hus- band, had been staying at the house to guard her against harm. He is Charles A. Johnson. He had his hands full, for Leh- maier, according to Johnson’s story, he- came so abusive that recourse was had to the police court again yesterday. Another summons was obtained, and late in the afternoon J obnson served it on Lehmaier at the house. Then there was a scene. Leh- maier stormed around so that Johnson told Mrs. Lehmaier to stay in his room overnight. She did so and looked the door against her husband. They heard Lehmaier rage around awhile and then things be- came quiet. Mrs. Lehmaier went to sleep. Lehmaier Was Shot Three Times. A thundering rap on the door at 3 O’clock this morning aroused her. Leh- maier demanded admittance. He was in one of his worst moods. Johnson shouted to him that he would not open the door and that if Lehmaier attempted to break in the door he would shoot him down. The crisis was not long in coming. Leh- maler smashed in the door, splitting the jamh and bringing the barrier down in a crash, and as he did so Johnson fired: He emptied his revolver at Lehmaier without stopping to see what he hit. Two , of the bullets went wide, one burying itself in the lounge in the room in which Johnson and Mrs. Lehmaier were, another in a clothes closet. But three hit the mad- dened husband. He fell with a bullet in the groin, one in the side and still another in the leg. Either of the first two was fa- tal. There was a panic in the flat, while the frightened boarders held their breath and listened. The silence was broken by run- ning feet on the stairs. Policeman Michael Carey had heard the shooting in the street, and, guessing the cause, ran straight to the Lshmaier fiat. He burst into the room to find Lehmaier rolling in agony on the floor, pleading for some one to help him. Mrs. Lehmaier crouched in terror behind her protector, who still held the smoking pistol. Neither attempted any denial. Johnson surrendered himself at once, pleading self defense and defense of the woman, his sister. Carey put them both under arrest and sent for an ambulance. While waiting for it he brought Johnson before the wounded man. -. "Yes.”t said Lehmaier between his groanI, “he shot me.” Lehmaier gasped out that he got up at 3 o’clock to get the morphine powders, without which he can- not sleep. They were in his wife’s room. He knocked at the door and heard a man’s voice within. Believing that some intrud- er was assaulting his wife, he smashed in the door to go to her assistance. And then he was shot. An ambulance came and took Lehmaier to the New York hospital. The physicians understood at sight of his wounds that his case was hopeless. Johnson and Mrs. Lehmaler were meanwhile arraigned in the West Thirtleth Street station, where they told their story. He ordered them both locked up to await the result of Leh- maior’s injuries. The Lehmolers' Tronbch. Michael Lehmaier is a brother of the former commissioner of accountI. He is an advertising agent, with an office in the Broadway theater building. He belongs to an old family and studied here and abroad to fit himself for a business career. In his younger days he was an athlete, but overlndulgence in morphine broke down hisobodily and mental health and caused the mad spells that dragged his name into the courts. He was married in February last in the Little Church Around the Corner, and in May his wife Eva sued him for noneup- port, charging that her husband had not contributed a cent to her support since their marriage Even before that their quarrels had brought them to the notice of the police. It was after his arraignment before Magistrate Mott on the charge of nonsupport that he broke out into abso- lute madness and chased his wife out of a second story window in the house where they lived. Mrs. Lehmaier appeared in the J eflerson Market court all black and blue from the brakes received in her leap and demanded protection. Lehmaler was arrested, and in court attempted suicide by severing the arteries at his wrists with broken pieces of his watch crystal. His case came up in the court of special sessions on Wednesday last. While waiting for it to come up Mrs. Lehmaier caused a sensation by rushing through the ;aisle shrieking for help. She called upon Justice Jacobs to protect her. “Oh, judge,” she cried, “he is going to kill me. He has a knife up his sleeve.” One of the court oflicers caught her as she fell in a faint. Her husband est un- concerned in his seat until the justice di- rected that he be searched. Then he got up and ran, but was overtaken by four court cflicers. They searched him after a struggle, but found no knife in his pos- session. Mercy For Irish Prisoners—Perhaps. LONDON, July 29.—The Westminster Ga- zette this afternoon says that during the debate on the home office vote on Friday neat the home secretary, Sir Matthew White Ridley, Will probably announce a mitigation of the sentences of the Irish prisoners. .
