ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS MEET.

SPBINGFIEMI,

Oohosec

111., July 20.—The re­

publican state oonventlon met in the hull of the house of representatives In this olty Wednesday. When Chairman Clark, of the state central committee, called the convention to order at noon there were 1,834 delegates in attendance. Jumia Alann, a member of the city .viineil of Chicago,

temporary chairman. Ho

verea a brief address, after which committees 011 credentials and resolutions were appointed. A resolution was adopted pledging the efforts of the republicans of Illinois to do all in their power to have the state aocept the offer of the National Linooln Monument association to turn over to it the Lincoln monument and grounds. The convention then adjourned until 8 o'clock p. m.

On reassembling the report of the committee on permanent organization, naming ex-Gov, Fifer as permanent chairman, was adopted,and Mr. Flfer on assuming control of the gavel delivered an interesting address. At its conclusion a motion was made that the convention proceed to nominate a candidate for United States senator to succeed Hon. Shelby M, Cullom. This called forth a lengthy and acrimonious discussion. Finally a motion, was made to lay it on the table, and a vote resulted—yeas, 1,019 nays, 815.

The Platform.

Following this the committee 011 resolution presented its report. It was adopted and Is as follows: "The republican party of the "state of 1111unit* reamnns ItK belief In the great principles of civil, uud religious liberty upon which this government was founded and under which the jH'ople have enjoyed unexampled prosperity and hnpplness, and, believing that the

reHtoratlou

of the republloan

party to power in the government of the country would promote the general welfare of the people and is the chief condition of renewed prosperity, this convention most respectfully and cordially invites all good oltlzous. Irrespective of political antecedents, to unite In supporting the republican cause In the next election. "We earnestly maintain the right and Justice of the Ainerloan doctrine of protection to Amcrloun industries. In raising the necessary revenue to muintaln the government we are in favor of such duties on eompetlng Imports as will best tend to the development of the resouroes of our own country. of the labor of our own people performed at wage* which put the comforts of life within easy reach and secure good prices for the products ulike of our farms, our fnines and our workshops and we believe that articles that cannot be successfully produced in this country except luxuries should be placed upon the free Hat. We further believe tnat without labor there is no such thing as raw material of any practical or marketable value, and no tangible thing of value that It does not require labor to produce iDortatlon of socalled raw material free of duty Is

prod

or utilize, and heftee the Importation of

aa

lnterfer-

ence with the system of proteoMoo to Amerl-

oan labor and should only be permitted when tbc ruw material lp unobtainable In our own country. We denounoe as unwise and unAmerloan the provisions of the so-oalled Wilson tarin bill, modified lfl the senate by the Injection of weak and Inconsistent attempts to protect speolal Interests, at now pending In oongress, and we oharge the demooratlo party with the sole responsibility for tho effort to destroy our tariff system, a system whloh has proven the greatest boon to the great muss ol American oltlsens, and we further declare that the unusual and unnatural conditions now exiting in this uatloq between capital and labor, which hnve led to lawlessness, bloodshed and Interruption of business, and brought misfortune to all, are the natural results of the false economic theories, vaolllatlng polloy and hopeless Incompetency of the demooratlo party, and to remove the evil thus created, restore prosperity end bring health to tho body of the people It Is necessary that the republloan party should be restored to power. ''We favor bimetallism, and believe In the use of gold and silver as money metals upon a parity of values with complete lnterconvertlbility under such legislative provisions as shall make the purchasing or debt-paying power of any dollar coined or Issued by the United States the absolute equivalent of that of any other dollars so coined or Issued. "We arraign the present demooratlo governor of Illinois as the most consplouous case of mlsttt in official lite. From tho day on which he began to debase the penal, reformatory and •barltable Institutions and public parks of the state Into Infirmaries and asylums for politicians to the present time he has shown suoh wonderful aptitu*" I9 doing the wrong thing at all times that the people of the state. Irrespective of party, await with undisguised Impatience the expiration of his term of office."

Other resolution* favor freedom of elections, purity of the ballot, the largest personal liberty consistent with law and order, liberal pensions, denounoe the administration's polioy towards Hawaii, and approve the course of the republloan members of congress and of Senator Cullom.

The Ticket.

The convention then proceeded to nominate a candidate for state treasurer. Heury W'ulff, of Chicago, W. W. Traoy, 01 Chicago, and Smith D. All ins, of Freeport, were the nominees. On the flrBt ballot Mr. Wulff was nominated, the ballot resulting: Wuiff, 758 Tracy, 820 Atkins, 858.

For superintendent of public instruction S. M. Ingliss was nominated on the third ballot For candidates for trustees of tho state university (three to be nominated) the successful nominees wore Alexander McLean, of Macomb Mrs. J. A. Flower, of Chicago, and S. A. Bullard, of Springfield.

A telegram of greeting was ordered to the republican state conventions now in session in Iowa and Wisconsin, and the convention adjourned sine die.

lb* pbfctorm adopted

pftrtr oomee again before r$ promt)

Tne history of the lart JeM has fegaln demonstrated the unfitness and lnoompctency of the demooratlo party to administer the affairs of the nation, and has again vindicated the eternal truth of republloan principles. From the universal disaster that has accompanied democratic supremacy we turn with confident hope to the Sacred duty of restoring peace to a dlntracted and disordered country. "We again declare for a system of protective duties so adjusted that every American resource can be developed by American labor, reoeivlng American wages, and we Insist upon a tariff that will aocomDllsn these ends. w« have but to mention tne disastrous results whloh have followed the mere menace of free trade *e oouolusive evtdenoe of the wisdom of the republican polloy In the past upon this subject. 2"We adhere to the declaration of the national republloan party In 18M upon its monetary polloy. We reaffirm our belief that the 'interests of the oountry, lte farmers and workingmen demand that every dollar, paper or ooln. Issued by the government shall be as good as any other dollar/ We favor the largest possible use of silver as money that Is consistent with the permanent maintenance of equal values of all dollars In circulation. We do not want monometallism, either of gold oi silver, and we pledge ourselves to continue to work for bimetallism, to be brought about by all fit means within the power of the government. "The welfare of the laborer and the maintenance of the dignity of labor have been the oonstant oare of the republican party from Ita birth. Xte whole history Is an effort to seoure to the wage-worker his Just share of the fruits of toll, and It now renews its pledges to defend the worklngman not only agalnnt the assaults of foreign competition but against the attacks of domestlo avarloe, "Resolved, That the honest and Industrious Immigrant who comes to our land with the intent to beoome In good faith an Amerloan citizen is always welcomed. None other should be permitted to come. We favor the amendment and more stringent enforcement of the Immigration laws so as to exclude criminal, pauper and all other undesirable classes whose presence tends to degrade American labor and incite disorder. "The republican party, ever mindful of the patriotic services and sacrifices of the veteran soldiers of the republic, reaffirms it* position In favor of liberality to the nation's defenders. We favor the granting of pensions to all honorably discharged union soldiers and sailors whose disabilities or necessities Justly entitle them thereto."

No Nomination .In Wisconsin. MILWAUKEE, July 26.—The republican state convention met here Wednesday and after several test votes that seem to indicate Maj. Upham as the ultimate nominee for governor adjourned until to-day. Eugene Elliott was made temporary chairman, and his selection was afterward made permanent.

Th« riatform.

It was 4 o'clock when the committee on resolutions reported. The platform is as follows: "We reaffirm the platform adopted at the national republloan convention, and alao the platform adopted by the state republican convention In 1892 and renew our pledges to the people as sot forth therein. "The present condition of the country resulting from tho change in Its industrial policy inaugurated by the democratic party, the hundreds of factories and workshops closed down the thousands of men out of employment, are the bent witnesses which oan be brought tc testify to the wisdom of the policy of protection to home industries which has always been sustained and fostered by the republican party. "The republloan party Is the friend of both labor and capital. £aoh Is Indispensable to the other. The party had its origin In opposition to the enslavement and degradation of labor, and under Its policies the worklngmen of the United States received a higher rate of wages and attained a degree of comfort and Influence such as they had never previously enjoyed. It will employ whatever authority it possesses tc promote all Just demands of the wage workei and support whatever practioal measures can be devised for the amelioration of his condition. We recognize the right of laborers to organize, using all honorable measures for the purpose of dignifying their condition and plaolng them on an equal footing with oapltal. tc the end that both fully understand that they are friends aud are equal to each other and the prosperity of the people. "The republican party is in favor of honest money. We are unalterably opposed to any scheme that will give to this country a debased or depreciated currency. We favor the use of silver as a Currency to the extent only that It can be circulated on a parity of gold. "The republican party is the party of religious liberty,, of absolute non-seotarlanlsm, ol entire separation of church and state, of fr*e common schools and of the utmost Independence of Individual thought, speech and action within the law."

Candidates for Governor.

Nominations for governor being called for the following candidates were presented to the convention:

J. G. Monahan, of Darlington L. B. Caswell. of Fort Atkinson: H. A. Taylor, of Madison E. L. Kldd, of Prairie du Chlen Thomas M. Blackstock, of Sheboygan William H. Upham. of Marshfield Edward S. Sootleld, ot Marinette Nlles P. Iiangen. of River Falls and H. P. Warner, of River Falls.

An informal ballot showed Upham to be in the lead, and an adjournment was taken until 8 p. m. When the convention met for the night session fully 8,000 people were in the house. The first formal ballot resulted: Upham, Scofield, Ilaugen, 76 Taylor, 40 Hlackstock, 28 Caswell, 16 Kidd, 12 Warner, 9 Monahan, 1 Magdeberg, 2. Three ballots were taken, the result being to narrow the fight down to four candidates.

On the fifth ballot Upham increased his lead, scoring a total of 180 votes, Ilaugen having 88, Soolielu fi2 and Taylor 80. There was great cheering when Maj. I'pham's vote was announced. Immediately there was a motion to adjourn, the i'pham men lighting it vigorously. On a call of the roll the motion was carried by a vote of 188 to 10T. Tho adjournment was taken at 10:46 p. m., and is until 11 o'clock to-day.

OUT OF JAIL.

Debs and His Associate a Deolde to Olve Ball.

THEY WANT TO PREPARE FOR TRIAL.

Further Proceedings In the Contempt •.CSH Postponed Until September 8, When the Hearing of Kvltenoe Will Begin.

MUST STAND TRIAL.

CHICAGO, July 86.—When court met for the morning session Judge Woods rendered, a decision holding that, under the information filed In the contempt preceedings against Debs, Howard, Keliher and Rogers, of the American Railway union, the defendants must answer to the court for the crime of interfering with interstate commeroe and with the United States mails and formally overruling the motion of the defense to quash the informations against them for contempt.

Judge Grosscup then announced that he had taken co part in the decisions on the motions to quash, and he announced further that he would take no further part in the contempt proceedings for the reason that the defendants are under indictment in the United States district court over which he presides, and the same questions of law will be raised under the indictments.

Further action in the case was discontinued until September 5. Debs and the other defendants, after consulting with their attorneys, decided to abandon their policy of remaining in jail under the charge of contempt, and give bail.

Debs and Howard were already under 810,000 bail each, under the first indictment for conspiracy. Since then five other Indictments have been returned against them and Keliher and Rogers. In these cases the ball was reduced to SI,000 from 83,000 in each case, and it was also cut down from 88,000 to 81,000 in each of the two contempt cases. So that the new bail entered in all the cases was *7,000 for each man.

Late in the afternoon the prisoners gave bail and quitted their prison life. The 'bondsmen were William Skakel and William Filzgerald, the same men who signed the 810,000 bonds under the first grand Jury indictments. After the bonds had been signed President Debs left the building in company with his wife, sister and brother. One of his first acts was to call a meeting of directors of the Amerloan Railway union for this morning at its headquarters in Ashland block. One of the things to be decided will be the policy of the union for the next few weeks.

It is thought Debs and his associates will endeavor to plead a conspiracy among railroad managers against organized labor.

THE CAUCUS ACTS.

The Senate Tariff BUI to «Jo Iluck to Conference Without Instructions. WASHINGTON. July 20.—The senate will acoode to the request of the house for another conference on the tariff bill, and its conferrees will return to the meeting with those of the house untramineled by any specific instructions whatever. This was the conclusion of the democratic senatorial caucus, which adjourned sine die a few minutes after a o'clock after a two days' sitting.

The vote on the resolution to send the bill to conference again was not unanimous, Senator Vilas and a few others opposing it and explicitly stipulating that their participation in the cauous should not be considered as, binding them to support the report oi the conference committee when again presented.

A new phase was given to the discussion on coal by a proposition that the senate rate of -10 cents a ton should stand, with a provision for admitting coal free from such countries as make a reciprocity agreement to admit coal from the United States free. This brought out considerable comment favorable to the proposition.

Speaker Crisp said Wednesday nlglit that no programme or plan of action on the tariff so far as the house was concerned had been or would be outlined until the senate had acted on the question of sending the bill back to confcrence. This disposed of reports that some radical steps might be taken by the house to break the deadlook. The speaker anticipates that the next conference will be marked by conciliatory spirit and by a disposition to give and take. He hopes for a speedy adjournment but he does not yet Join in the general expression of members that a settlement and adjournment are close at hand.

CHICAGO. July 20. Mrs. Warren Springer has been held to the grand Jury on the oharge of attempting to bribe Jurors Marmon and Slider in the land condemnation suit of the Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railroad oompany vs. Warren Springer.

Loss Over •SSO.OOO.

Nearly all of the company's express wagons and the contents of the large storage building were burned. The Adams Express company's stable, adJoining the Knox building to the north, was almost entirely consumed. About 150 h-jrses were in the Adama Express company's stables, but'all were taken out by the hardest kind ol work on the part of citizens and po,'ieuien.

Mitchell's blacksmith shop on Second street was crushed by falling walls. The total loss will exceed 8250,000.

Awskensd by Smoke,

The fire was discovered about B:80 o'clock. A number of men were sleeping in the Knox building and were awakened by smoke. They found tho entire rear of the second floor of the building In flames and had hardly time to escape with their lives. Before they had left the building the blaze had communloatod to the threestory rear part of the Adams stables, and was darting out of the windows of the second and first floors of both buildings in the rear. A hundred men ran into the Adams stables and cut loose the 150 horses they contained. The animals were then turned Into the street.

Horsas In a Fiery Furnace.

The horses of the Knox company coula not be reached. There were 20S of them, and they were on the second story of the building, which was a seething mass of flames from the very start. The Knox building was a four-story structure of brick. On the first floor were the heavy wagons of the ooncern, on the second floor the horses, on the third and fourth floorB hay in large quantities and merchandise of all kinds, which had been stored with the company. Another four-story building of the Knox oompany, facing on Seoond street aud connected with the stables, separated only by a thin briok wall, was used entirely for storage purposes. It was paoked from basement to roof with furniture and merchandise. It is in this building the greatest loss occurred. The heat was so Intense that firemen were obliged to throw water on each other repeatedly In order that they might continue at their posts. The men who had to hold lines of hose on the street front of the Knox building were obliged to lie flat and hold their faces to the ground, so awful was the heat.

Hemmed In by Flames.

A portion of the wall in the rear of the Adams building fell into the alley and aoross the baok exit. The members of hose company No. 1 and several men of other companies were caught inside of the building. Fire Chief Parris rushed to the rescue. Half a down leads of hose were turned upon the burning mass, which had fallen in front of the exit. As the bricks cooled slightly twenty firemen and as many polloemen rushed into the building. It was an awful risk. The walls of the Knox building were tottering. At any moment they might have fallen and erushed the smaller Adams building under them. In a moment the rescuers emerged from what was thought to be a death pit. In their arms they dragged the bodies of three firemen who had been hurt by falling brioks. While they were Inside the heat had been so intense that they were almost baked alive. Their comrades were also soorohed and singed. All were dragged back to the opposite sidewalk. Two minutes after the party came out the upper floors of the Knox building felL Only the semi-tower which formed the oftloe corner of the buildiug was left standing.

Heroic Work of Firemen.

With the fall of the walls the fire was practically under control, but the flames were hotter than ever. It was now to hot that firemen and polloemen beoan to suooutnb. It wis neces to ent houses all about, and the fire-
