OR BE STEPPED ON. j THE CRANK CONVENTION DECLARES FOR HARMONY AT ANY COST. The I'rohibltiouists Heady to Act With the Reformers to a Certain Ftout A Ills Fight is Promised us a v arinttou. St. Lot -, Feb. 23. Had a bombshell ex-ploded Hfierday afternoon in the midst of the Industrial conference it would not have surprised the third party people one iota more than did the motion made by Secre-ta- n Hayes of the Knight ol Labgr late ill the afternoon, A curious series of events led up to it. B. F. Terrill of Texas had been selected to call the convention to Order, ami, during all the welcoming ad-dresses and throughout the speeches of Poll:, Powderly and Donnelley, he tena-ciously held tliu chair, no move being Blade to eilei t a temporary organization. jAt the conclusion of the addresses, Hayes Jum ied up and moved that Actiug Chairman Terrell appoint the regular committees, a proceeding which would practically have given the Texan entire charge of tho con-tention. The third party meu were diunli-toundei- l, and the convention was imme-diately in an uproar. General Weaver sprang to his feet and yelled that the convention was out of order, and quickly made a motion that the com cntioii proceed to a temporary organ-ization. The friends of the new move-ment rallied and carried the motion with a hurrah. The cause of the sensation is disclosed when it is explained that the third party men believed, whether justly or unjustly, that a combination had been made between Macunc, Livingston, Hayes and Terrill to down the New York parly scheme. If the motion had carried, they say, Terrill would have appointed the committee to suit the ' ntiV Apparently, however, the. opponents .f the third party movement are in a hope-inorit- A nftist serious split in the Industrial now in session is threatened by a large number of southern delegates. At a caucus held here last night it became evi-dent thai many of the southerners were r.ot in favor of a third party. Any disaffection from their old party, the democrats, would only strenthen the republicans. Before the closed all the delegates from Georgia announced that should the confer, encc determine on a third party they would withdraw from the body. Four of the six .Alabama delegates announced that they would do likewise, as did also the delegates from Tennessee, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and the president of the North Carolina state alliance. .There are also a number of protesting del-egation;, representing national organizations which are knocking loudly for admission, and which threaten a second conference if barred out. These orguni.ations, which are not represented on the credential com-mittee, and which have applied for repre-sentation in the conference, are the Reform Press association, the Woman's Alliance, the United order of the Union Hcfonn association, the Central Nationalists, the Farmers' league, the Alliance assem-blies, Industrial and many smaller organiza- - vjviij""-- . the Industrial conference Cjpcncd Jr Jj ning Chairman Connor stated that Xdy was not present for harmonious a'c . Jhey might get out of the way or be steppiT: upon. He then announced the Committee on credential had been In 'ses-sion all night and noir ready to present a partial report. At an informal conference of prominent prohibitionists this morning. Chairman Dickie and Miss Willard united iu a resolu tion to t that as a party the prohibi-tionists could treat only with political forces that declare for the same principles. This, Miss Willard explained, does not in the least interfere with the efforts being put forth by herself and other prohibitionists , as in-dividuals, to secure such declarations from the Industrial conference as may serve as a basis for future united political action among the labor and temperance reformers. The report of the credentials committeo recommended the seating of tHO delegates from the farmers' alliance; fifty-thre- e from the F'armers' Mutual Benefit association; eighty-tw- from the Kniirhl of Labor; ninety-seve- from the national farmers' al-liance; tcnty-flv- c from the national citi-zens' alliance; ninety-seve- from the Colored Farmers' Benefit J association; gtweuty-scve- n from the national oltlswit' indepen-dent alliance ; sixty-fiv- e from the patrons of industry; twenty-liv- from the patrons of husbandry; total, 677.

H. IngalU, be seated as delegates representing tho National Wcmen'i Christian Temperance union. Both the amendment and the report were adooted. It was resolved during the recess that the lommittee on platform be appointed on a lomproniise basis. The plan wa to give Kach national organization three repreoenta-Jv-on the platform committee and each itate one representative. liencral Weaver moved the election of 'resident Polk of the farmer's alliance as .ermanent chairman of the convention, and t was carried unanimously. In au instant Powderly of the Knight of Labot1 was on his feet, hotly protesting that the proceedings were irregular. Others uided their protests, and the Illinois dele ;:itc made a motion for a reconsideration of lb.' election of Polk. The motion was promptly carried, dc--i bled by a vote by states instead of by or-- a iiiiatious, and l'uik was unanimously r eled. Polk then announced the next order of h minim was the election vice presidents and oilier officers. Miss Frances Willard and lieu Ferrill of Texas were elected vice presidents. John W. Hays of the knlghta of labor was made secretary, and Warwick, the colored lie legate from Virginia, assistant seerelary. While a motion by SimpeOn (Kansas) to idjourn for l wo hours was pending, Dr. McCune read a telegram from Messrs.

I TO SUE'EM FOR LIBEL ASSOCIATE JUSTICE MINER TO BRING ACTION AGAINST THE COMMITTEE. tie Wili Not Occupy a Place Among- HI Distinguished Peer I ntil the ( liar ;og Ae,uiint If Im Have Iteen Removed-Sens-ation la Legal Circles. The recent debate on home rule at Wash, iugton is to have a sciiuel in a libel tutt in which Judge Miner of the First dintric.t court of this territory is to be the plaintiff. The defense will be represented by such distinguished advocated of local selfgoveru-mcn- t a ex. (iovcrnor West, a gentleman who has consecrated a lifetime to hard work; by Judge Judd, the gentleman with the mellow dialect from Tennessee; by "Kentucky" Smith, a gentleman who ha stirred up the in orgastic animals in Idaho, Wyoming ami Utah, and Cains Cufcsius Richards, an attorney who devoted a halt do :cn dynasties to the defense of poly gamy and the principle that Ihe ipiecu of a house- - hold should have seven heads. Ihe papers are now in process of preparation and, it is said, will be tiled o soon as Judge Powers has had time to tix his approval. The auction springs from the brutal attack upou J'udgo Miner during the recent howl for homo rule at Washington, and it is understood that the charge of criminal libel is simply the mask under which the distinguished gentleman is to seek an investigation. It is said by those who have conversed with him since the altacU win made, that Judge Miner has openly avowed that lie will not oocupy a seat upon the territorial supreme bench with such colleagues as Judgu Zone, Judge Anderson and Judgo Blackburn until his escukiheou hall have been thoroughly shaken and until the rebuke is delivered from tho bench. The assertion that ho lias been guilty ol conduct unbecoming to a niuu of his distinction has cut keenly into his sen-sibilities and tho investigation that must necessarily follow the charges of criminal libel promises to be ono of tho most sensational in the history of local jurisprudence. It is stated that his associates on the territorial bench are Squally desirous that an investigation be made and that Chief Justice Zano ha already expressed himself in terms that can-not be easily misinterpreted. It is said of him that he recognizes the attack upou Judge Miner as a blow at the household of jurisprudence In I'tah and that atonomeut can come from uothiug this side of an inves-tigation. The charges against the associate justice laud upou a decidedly sensitive spot. They might have been launched agaiust tho average man and passed as a political nothing but placed at the door of a man who shares with his colleagues the most exalted posi- - Hon iu the territorial patronage of this na-tion it is a different tiling. The idea of a man sitting upon the bench of a great terri-tory with '26u,0()0 people looking to hlin for the condemnation of wrong, and a commit-tee at Washington impeaching his judicial chastity will not be overlooked. Judge Miner realizes this and it is to secure the redress to which ho is en-titled, that he will demand nil Investigation under tho title of a libel suit. The announcement has created the wildest consternation among representative of tho church conglomerate, and the tiling of tho complaint and subsequent arrests is awaited with almost riotous anxiety.

It is en-- j listetl in tin; cause of a favored candidate, who shrinks from submitting his case to the( test of a free and full vote of the democracy. It 1ms used its power for the avowed pur-pose of (erring his personal ambition, instead of affording all the democratic electors an equal and fair opportunity to express their preference as to issues and candidate. The welfaie of the parly, both in the state and nation, demand that all democratic electors be equally heard and represented. There-fore the democratic electors lu cueh assem-bly district in the state are requested to choose three delegates and three altclnates to form a Mate convention, to be held on the -- 1st day of May at Syracuse, for tho pur-oo.-- e of choosing delegate and alternate 1 represent the democratic parly of the slule at the national convention."
