LEON 0. BAILEY,

were all present and apparently Interested In the work of the convention. Mr. Taggart, before the convention was organised, recalled that two years ago tb* Democrats of the district nominated Charles M. Cooper, who "went down with banners flying." Within the two years, he said, the people have had an opportunity to examine condition*. "The Democracy of the Seventh district," he said, "will not be fooled again.” Men. he said, were bulldosed into voting the Republican ticket two years ago; he was convinced the Democrats could not be again driven to vote against their sentiments. Green Smith’s Remarks. Alonso Greene Smith was chosen chairman of the convention, and. while the committees on resolutions and credentials were meeting, talked. It was Important, ha said, to nominate the best man to be found. The man nominated and elected, he said, would be called upon to vote on questions of more importance than any that have arisen since the civil war. The Republicans, hs said, had been fait hie** to every promise made In the last campaign. The money question rested Just where It was when McKinley was elected. Prosperity had not been restored; the wages of laboring men had not been advanced. The speaker declared that Just before the war began a committee of Republicans from this State went to Washington and told the President that unless war was declared the Republican party would be wrecked. In conclusion, he said the civil war, as well as the war with Spain, Is over. He recalled that at Santiago was "Joe” Wheeter, who was a rebel brigadier, and who demonstrated that the South was patriotic and willing to show its patriotism on the batfTefleld. General Lawton, he said. Is a Democrat. and "looking to Manila,” he said, "we see a Democrat, who fought the first ami the last battle of the war.” Schley and Hobson were also pointed to as Democrat a The committee on credentials reported no contostw. J. T. Fanning, chairman of the oommM'tee on resolution*, submitted a resolution reaffirming the national Democratic platform of 1896, the platform adopted by the Democrat* of Indiana thia year and expressing pleasure at the c'ose of the war. Another paragraph demanded thwt the best provision possible be made for the care and comfort ot the soldiers. The voters of the Seventh district were called upon to repudiate the currency reform MU supported by Ccn»gremman Overstreet. W. F. Kissel placed Leon O. Bailey In nomination. A Johnson delegate proposed Thomas Taggart, but the Mayor waa quickly on his feet and withdrew his name. The nomination of Mr. Bailey was by acclamation. Bailey ■peaks. The nominee spoke about twenty minutes. He said he bad supreme confidence In his. election. He reca.led that thirteen years ago the "flower” of the Democracy assarolbled in the same room; that a division occurred which resulted In the nomination of a man “who is net with us now" (W. D. Bynum). The speaker felicitated himself that during thore thirteen years he had stood steadfast for the principles of the Democratic party. Much of the speech was devoted to the war. The Democrats in Congress and out of it had given loyal support to the administration. The war, he said, must

will be met by the tolling masses with greater vigor than ever before." Referring to the advocacy by Congressman Overstreet, of the Currency reform bill, he said that the Congressman could not get away from the odor of being the bill’s sponsor. Overstreet, he said, was evidently the tool of the Eastern monqy Jobbers. The speaker said he had personal knowledge ffhaf many Republicans did not indorse tihe "Hanna scheme" for reforming the currency. Such a MU, hs said, would never receive «he indorsement at a free people. ’•Dh* common people, who bear the nation’s arms In ttkme of war and produce ks wealth In time of peace, can never ‘ hope for relief from the Republican party," said he. The. speaker opposed any increase in the standing army of the nation Cant. W. E. English came In while the Eff'.SlS? W w. occupied a seat in from. After Bailey had ceased speaking he was pleasantly received and made a short speech. • THIRD MSTRICT >OMIN VTION. Isaac F.

SARGENT TO RESTGN. Question of a New Head for the Locomotive Firemen. In a circular letter to members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen sent out torday Frank P. Sargent, grand master of the organization, announces that toe has decided to accept a place on the industrial commission, created by act of the last Congress, and will retire as the head of the brotherhood at the end of his term. Members of the organization here who received the letter were disappointed at the announcement, as Mr. Sargent has been regarded as a safe, conservative head for their organization. The impression is that John J. Hannahan, first deputy grand master, will succeed Mr. Sargent. There Is a strong fight In the brotherhood against Hannahan, and the opposition, which is said to be led by Frank Arnold, grand secretary, may defeat him.

’Washington, D. C., August 18.—It is the opinion of the officials of the Treasury Department there will be no necessity for another bond Issue, growing out of the war, and that the present revenue law, with possibly slight modifications, should be retained on the statute books for an indefinite period. The following may be taken as the views of the Treasury Department on these subjects: “It may be confidently hoped that no further issues of bonds will be necessary in connection with bringing the extraordinary war expenditures bo a close. With the Treasury well supplied for the early future, and with the power conferred upon the Secretary to make temporary loans to the extent of *100,000,000, if required, any further resort to bond Issues seems a roost remote probability. This view is reinforced by the fact that with the operation of the new excise and stamp taxes, the revenues of the Government will largely exceed disbursement, based upon ordinary peace conditions. TMs increase In revenue ought to, and will, provide for an Increase In war and navy expenditure, wMch no doubt will be witnessed after active military operations have terminated. That enlarged expenditures for the navy and army over the past will be necessary is most obvious, and it is a matter of congratulation that, by the wise action of Congress, the Government revenue ha* been put on a brood and effective basis.” POLICE FORCE INCREASED.

It will Investigate- Report* Against Military Vandals. Washington, D. C., August 18.—Many complaints have been received at the War Department of depredations alleged to have baen committed by soldiers of the Second Division of the Second Corps at various places in Virginia, on thofr nwrch from Camp Alger, near Fails church, to their present camp at Thoroughfare Gap. Tlxeee complaints come principally from citizens residing in the vicinity of Manassas, Bristow, Clifton and Burkes Station, Va. As a consequence, the Secretary of War telegraphed Brigadier-General Davis commanding the Second Division, to convene a military board at or ce for the consideration of ail claims for damages to property by troops of his command during the march to Thoroughfare Gap, and also since their sojourn in that vicinity. Tho adjutant-general of the army to-day received a dispatch front Brigadier-General Davis acknowledging the receipt of the Secretary's aiders, and saying that he had appointed a board, with I Jem t.-Cal. F. A. Cook, of the First Rhode island Volunteer Infantry, as president, to meet at Manassas. Bristow, Clifton and Burkes Station, for the consideration of all claims that may be submitted.

Acting on this report the City Council has cut the company’s bill for the last month 40 per cent and announce® that it will’continue to do M) until the lights are up to me standard.

The examination was mad® without the knowledge of the comp lay. by H. 8. Marsh, of IndaanapoH®. He further report* that the company is using a wire that in too light, and that it is running sixty light* on a fiftylight machine. If these extra light* were taken off, a proper wire used and the speed of the machine increased to its rating, Mr. Marsh think* the powoi would be Increased to LTto or 1.890. still under the contract. How long this stela of affairs has existed it is impoesiblo to say. The tity recently investigated the matter of purchasing the plant, but -vas met with a prohibitive price of *90,tod, when it estimated that *60.COO would be e heavy price.
