The Convention Carries Out the
Cleveland-Gray Compact.

“THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE”

for President, but if His Candidacy Is ,
Incxped lent, Then the Delegates
Are Instructed for Gray._ .
sea-ll:

,‘p.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 22,—The Democrat'c
state convention here was called to order
by State Chairman Taggart. 1 The balconies
and galleries of the hall were profusely dec-
orated with bunting, while above the foot‘
lights, peeping out from between the stars
and stripes, were small framed-lithographs
of Cleveland, Hendricks and Gray, the lat-
ter being in the center, directly above the
head of the presiding officer. As something
of an innovation, no divine was asked to
lead in prayer, but err-Senator Smith, Of
Wells county, was called upon to perform
this duty The convention decided with a
roar that all resolutions should be turned
into the. committee instead of being read
aloud, and this done the venerable David
Turpie was presented. When the hearty
greeting that was accorded him had sub-
sided, he delIVered his address, which was
received with long continued applause. The
platform was then reported and read.

The Platform.

The platform reaffirms the devotion of
the Democracy of Indiana. to the time hon-
ored principles of its historic party, advo-
cates home rule, denounces subsidies and
class legislation, arraigns the Harrison ad-
ministration for its subserviency to the
money interests and the sale of a cabinet
office to John \Vanamaker; for the employ—
ment of the pension bureau as a party ma-
chine and the promotion of William A.
Woods to a higher post in the Federal j udi-
ciary as a reward for his services in saving
the “blocks of five” conspirators from the
penitentiary; for its contemptuous repudia-
tion of its promises to the veteran soldiers
of the Union; for its wicked attempt to
fasten upon the country the odious, un-
American force bill; condemns reciprocity
as a sham; asserts that there should be kept
in constant circulationé full and suflicient
volume of money consisting of gold, silver
and legal tender paper currency at par with
each other; favors the election of United
States senators directly by the people; de
mands the removal of Green B. Raum; dis-
cusses state issues and concludes:

Cleveland First, Then Gray.

Resolved, That this convention indorses the
wise and patriotic administration of Grover
Cleveland; that the presidential campaign of
1802 should be conducted on the issues of tarifl
reform as defined in the presidential message
of 1887; that upon this issue Mr. Cleveland is
the logical candidate of the Democratic party.

Resolved, That the Democratic party of In
diana. expresses its unalterable confidence in
and attachment to its gallant leader, Isaac P.
Gray; that it holds him to be worthy of any
honor in the gift of the American people, and
that his name be presented to the convention
by the delegation this day appointed, and in
the event that the national convention deems
the nomination of Mr. Cleveland inexpedient,
the delegation is instructed to use every honor-
able efiort to secure the nomination of Gov-
ernor I. P. Gray for the presidency.

The resolutions were adopted and nomi-
nations were then taken up.

George L. Renhardt, of Spencer county,
was nominated for supreme court judge of
the First district on the first ballot. J eptha
B. New, of Jennings county, was nominated
by acclamation for supreme judge of the
Second district, and James McCabe, of
Washington, for supreme court judge of the
Third district on the first ballot over Gyms
McNutt, of Terre Haute; Timothy F. How-
ard, of St. Joseph county, was nominated
on the first ballot for supreme judge, Fifth
district. '

5 Foster on the Campaign.

TOLEDO, April 22.—Secretary Charles Fos-
ter was in the city yesterday attendinga
meeting of the trustees of the Toledo Insane
asylum. He nttendeda dinner at the To-
ledo club in his honor last evening. He
stated that beyond reasonable doubt: the
Republicans would renominate Harrison,
that the latter was gaining strength daily
and all the rest of the field was becoming
distanced. Blaine, he said, considering his
recent letter, could hardly enter the race
now. He thought the Democrats would
nominate Cleveland, and that Campbell,
Gray and Palmer had booms only on paper.

The Louisiana Election.

N ATCHEZ, Miss, April 22.-—The returns
from Concordia. parish, La.,'are very slow
coming in, and those from three of the pro
cincts will probably never turn up, as one
Of the boxes was seized and destroyed and
two others mysteriously disappeared. There
is no telling how the votes stood at these
precincts, but it is thought they Were large
ly for Leonard, though the Fosterites assert
that their men had large majorities at each.

Mrs. Parnell as an Evictor.

DUBLIN, April 22,—A sensation has been
caused in home rule ranks by a. suit on the
part of Mrs. Parnell, widow of the late
Irish leader, against tenants on the estate
of her late husband. The rent from certain
tenants is long overdue. Mr. Parnell was
always lenient in dealing with them, but
Mrs. Parnell shows a resolution to assert
her legal ‘rights. She has therefore insti-
tuted proceedings for the eviction of the de-
linquent tenant‘s. ‘

5 Big Defalcation in China.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.—The compra
dor of the Hong-Kong and Shanghai bank
has absconded. The loss is $600,000. Foul
native banks have stopped payment, with
liabilities of 81,500,000. News was also re-
ceived by wire of a panic in India, where
exchange had fallen three-eighths pence.
In Shanghai there is a state of suspense and
distrust almost approaching a. panic.

Ex-PBEMIER MERCIER Anuxs'rln

He Is Charge: with Conspiracy to De-
fraud Quebec of 860,000.

MONTREAL, April 22.—Mr. Mercier, ex-

premier of the province of Quebec, who is

ill in bed here,shas been placed under arrest __

by service of summons on him to appear
before the criminal court at Quebec, April
88, to answer to a. charge of conspiracy to
defraud: the province Of $60,000 in connec-
tion with a. contract with one Langlais to
supply the government offices with~ sta-
tionery. The summons was issued at the
instance of Provincial Attorney General
Casgram. Mercier will obey the summons
and defend himself.

,He says: “I never conspired. I never~de-
manded a. cent, and I never touched the

money which was deposited. I never knew,

till the statements before the royal com-
mission, that Langlais had subscribed a
cent. I suppose the public will be surprised
to see me accused of conspiracy in the Lang
lais matter, when I was dismissed for hav-
ing stolen $100,000 of the Baie des Chaleurs
railway money. I may add that it is quite
unfair to disturb me in my professional
work at this very precious time, when I
spent the whole of last week in Quebec at
the disposal of the government during the
criminal term, and the grand jurors, who
constitute the grande enquette of the cOun-
try, were present to investigate every
charge that might be made in the 'public in-
terest.”

The action against Mr. Mercier has cre-
ated a sensation and is expected to lead to
important developments.

bride,_Miss Annie Hinkston, is very ill, as

'are also her mother, Mrs. Hinkston; Miss

"Allie Hinkston, an adopted daughter, and
an aunt, Mrs. Carter. Mr. Shaw and Miss
Hinkston were to have been married yes-
terday, and the night before, the bride’s
aunt, Mrs. Carter, came from San Francis-
co to attend the wedding. When she ar-
rived, the family had gone to the ranch,
but she entered the house and prepared sup-
per for the family.

Mrs. Carter made the tea, taking ma-
terials from a jar. After supper all the
members of the family became very ill.
They found that strychnine had been put
in the tea by some unknown person. All
are now out of danger except Mr. Shaw and
Mrs. Hinkston. Realizing his critical con-
dition Mr. Shaw wished to be married be-
fore he died, and the ceremoney was per-
formed yesterday afternoon. Shaw is still
alive, but it is not thought he will live.

ALBANY, April 22.—The closing hours of
the, session of the legislature were inthe
nature of a. love feast. The senators wore
roses in their buttonholes, the gift of Sena-
tor Roosch. A general expression of re—

' lief and satisfaction at the close ,of a'hard

Winter's Work has apparent ' on “'the'faces
and in the words of the assemblymen as
they met. They were rather tardy as
they had only left it at about halfpast l
the night previous. The great files of bills
which had incumbered 'thedesks of the
members were nearly all removed and
packed. Members as they came in made
their first visit to the rooms Of the financial
clerks, who were making the final pay-
,ments. -

The first business was the reception of
messages from the senate, and several ef-
forts were made to advance bills by unani~
mous consent, but scarcer anything was
done in that way owing to the storm of ob-
jections which arose.

Colonel Webster championed the Long
Island City bills Of Senator Floyd-Jones,
which legislate Mayor Pat Gleason out of
Office. Sulzer, Sullivan and others sup.
ported a. motion to kill the bills, which was
done.

A Low Tax Rate.

The Farquhar bill, to permit individual
commandantshf the national guard forces
in an armory to appoint the several em—-
ployees of their particular quarters instead
of having it done by the senior comman-
dant, passed.

The comptroller sent over the bill fixing
the annual tax rate at 1.98. This is the
lowest since 1856, with the exception of last
year, when it was 1.375. It was immedi-
ately passed.

At four minutes before 12 the governor’s
proclamation was read reconvening the leg-
islature -on Monday night at 8:30. The
hands of the clock had been turned back as
usual and it was 12:15 when the closing ex-
ercises began with the appointment of com-
mittees to wait upon the governor and the

‘ senate. Messrs. Hitt and Gallagher visited

the executive chambers, Messrs. Bush and
Stranahan the senate, and in due time re-
ported in the usual forms. Mr. Hoag occu-
pied the chair.

The speeches and resolutions were of the
pleasantest. General Husted complimented
the speaker upon the generality and gener-
osity with which he had presided. Mr.
George H. Bush thanked General Husted as
leader of the minority for the great help he
had been to him, both on the floor and in
the committee of ways and means. Mr.
Stranahan offered the resolution of thanks
to Clerk De Freest, speaking of his big
heart, big voice and magnificent courtesy.

Mr. Obed Wheeler moved as the hatchet
had been buried We had better adjourn, but
this was only laughed at. -

The presentations were yet to come. A
fine portrait of the speaker, by Sterry, was
brought in and presented to Dr. Bush, who
took his position in' the well. The presen-
tation speech was made by Mr. Stranahan.‘
Other presentations were made, and then,
with a. yell, the assembly adjourned sine die.

‘ In the Senate.

When the senate was called to order the
census enumeration was handed in. The
totals Of population for all the counties of
the state foot up to 6,483,632. Of this total
53%,027 are citizens and 720,605 are aliens.
The total official population accredited to
New York county is 1,801,739. Of this total
1,423,984 are citizens, while but 377,755 are
found to he aliens. .

After the Amsterdam charter bill was
taken up and Mr. Donaldson made a long
speech in which he insisted upon reading
the protests of resident property holders.
He was interrupted for the reception of the
message calling the extra session for the
25th inst. at 8:30 o’clock in the evening.
Mr. Cantor handed in the tax rate bill and
made a few remarks upon the economical
management of the Democracy. Mr. Erwin
congratulated the majority, but said, that
he expected that it would be still less. At
two minutes to 12 the tax bill was passed.

Senators McCarren and Saxton were ap-
pointed a committee to wait upon the gov--
ernor and announce that the senate was
ready to adjourn. Senators Parker and
Erwin were appointed a committee to wait
on the assembly. ‘

The assembly committees were received,
and then Mr. Cantor moved that the em—

extra. sessiou. Adopted.
Sheehan’s Closing Speech. .‘
Mr. Sheehan then addressed the senate,
the members standing, as follows:
Senators—The adjournment of this body to-
day closes Officially the life of the 115th session
of the legislature of the state of New York.
The record of this legislature is no longera
matter of speculation or of doubt. Its deliber-
ate views are to be found in the written are
chives of the state. The record cannot now be-
changed. I would not change it if I could.
While its life has been the shortest in the his-
tory of the legislature of the state since the
year 1867, the magnitude of its work has never
been equaled; and never have I seen public
servants guided by more patriotic, unselfish
and honorable motives than have been display-
ed by the members of this legislature.
Whatacomplete answer to the charges of
extravagance hurled against this legislature
isthe passage of your tax rate bill, giving to
the people of the state the lowest rate of taxa-

 

tion since 1857, with the exception of 1891. The . -

canal debt, which has been a. burden for many
years upon the people of the state, is substan-
tially wiped out, and for the first time since
that debt began the people of this state will
not be again taxed for-the canal debt.

. A constitutional convention, so long deferred,

will be held as the result of the actions of this
legislature. An equitable apportionment of
congressional districts, so as to give equal rep-
resentation to all sections of our state, has been
ordered. An earnest effort has been made to
lift the burden of unjust taxation from the
farmer and place it where it properly belongs.
The anti-Pinkerton and ten hour labor corpo-
ration bills have received the approval of the
senate and assembly, for which the working
people of the state are most grateful.

It is impossible at this time for one to recol- ’ ‘

lect the different measures of‘importance to

the people which have been passed here; but fit;

enough has been said to prove that the people

acted wisely and well in selecting the lam

 

tux-9011892. We have had at different times'

this mien many heated political debates.
Harsh words may have been uttered. andghnsty
this body has been a most digmfl' ed. deliberate

andeourteous one. . . .
When Mr. Sheena finished there was

loud applause and then the senate, 5:12:20; 2 ‘
