CONVENTION CALLED IN KANSAS. The Fight in Illinois Has Been a Bit ter and Unrelenting One—Silver Men Will Make all the Trouble Possible for Federal Office-Holders—A Fight to be Made on President Cleveland and His Monetary Policy—Missouri Democrats Aroused. Chicago, 111., June 3.—Throughout Illinois, especially outside Cook county, the fight has been bitter and unrelenting between the advocates and opponents of free silver coinage within the Democratic as the State convention is to be next Wednesday at Springfield, the preliminary work of the silver men is about completed. It is admitted by the gold standard men that the convention will put through a 16 to 1 platform with flying colors, and it is said to be the intention of the rank and file who stand for the silver aide of the party, to make all the trouble they can for the Federal officeholders and other so-called gold bugs. It is understood to be the program me mapped out by Governor Altgeld, Secretary of State' Heinrichsen and other leaders of the Illinois Democracy who have noth ing to lose thereby, to make an open fight on President Cleveland. Senator Palmer and the big or little Democrats in office who represent the anti silver element. Numerous Chicago Democrats who ex pect to be appointed to Federal offices, who are influenced by personal interests, will stay away from the convention on account of the hot weather.

Eleven counties, ordinarily controlled by men holding government positions, have defiantly declared for free coinage. Missouri Democrats Aroused. St. Louis, Mo., June 3.— The refusal of the State Democratic committee to issue a call for the convention to discuss the financial question has aroused the indignation of the rank and file of the Democrats throughout the State and tele grams are pouring in to Chairman Far ris, of Lebanon county, the home of Hon. R P. Bland, urging him to call a convention without regard to the action of the State Committee. Chairman Moffatt and the members of the State Committee, who voted against the convention proposition are being scored by a number of Democratic papers and prominent politicians who declare the committee meeting was of the “Star Chamber" ’ character, inasmuch as it was held behind locked doors, and none but members of the committee permitted to be presen*. The claim is made that the ac ion of the committee is due to the fact that Chairman Moffatt is a capitalist, banker and political intimate of ex-Gov. Francis, who is regarded as the Missouri Lieutenant of President Cleveland, and that hi 3 influence on a number of the State committee was such as to control their votes at their adjourned meeting on last Saturday. It is reported here that a State Demo cratic Convention will be held before July Ist. Convention Called in Kansas Topeka, Kan., June 3.-—A. C.

BLOOD ON THE MOON OUR MAYOR ANI) OUR GOVERN OR EXCHANGE LETTERS—THE MAYOR MAKES A SHOW OF FORCE. TWO COPS STAND OFF THE GUARD. Ills Excellency Don’t Want Telephone Linemen Looking Down His Rain- Barrel and Sum moils the Attorney General—The Mayor’s Pointed Let ter—A Question of Who is Boss of the Side-Walk Around the Mansion- War Narrowly Averted. “You can’t play in my back-yard, any more.” This was the song that Gov ernor Elias began figuratively to sing some months ago, when one March day the Telephone Company began putting up posts in the side-walk along Jones street, which runs from front to rear of the Governor’s Mansion, But the posts went in. Then on another March day a meeting took place in the Governor’s office, of which the subjoined minutes tell the story: '’“State of North Carolina, Executive Department, Raleigh, Executive Chambers, Bn. Pub. Buildings and Grounds, “Regular Meeting. The regular meeting of the Board of Public Buildings and Grounds was held on Tuesday, the 26rh day of March. Present, Governor Eiias Carr, Secre tary of State Octavius Coke, Treasurer W. H. Worth. “It was moved seconded and carried that the Governor be and hereby is au thorized to have posts and other obstruc tions placed one the sidewalks around the Capitol and Executive Mansion grounds removed. S. F. Telfair, Secretary.” But instead of acting with undue haste upon these authorities, well based or not, his Excellency lived to see not only these posts remain, but others also go up. Naturally aroused at what he took to be an invasion of his private premises when he saw the audacious and heedless workmen on the poles looking down upon his back yard, a line in stronger voice came forth as fol lows: “You can’t look down my rain barrel.” Thereupon, yesterday morning, work men appeared on the scene with Guber natorial axes about to go to the root of the matter. They were met by two city eop3 with orders from his Honor Mayor W. M. Russ to spare those posts. This clash between Gubernatorial axe and Municipal acts bi ought forth the fol lowing spirited letter trom the Gov ernor: “State of North Carolina, Ex ecutive Department, Raleigh, June 3rd, 1895. “Hon. W. M. Russ, Mayor of the City of Raleigh: “Dear Sir.--I write to call your at tention to an apparent conflict between the State authorities and the Municipal authorities of the city of Raleigh. “The telephone company under the management of Geo. H. Glass of this city have erected telephone posts on the property of the State of North Caro lina, to-wit: on the sidewalks of the Governor’s Mansion grounds. At the time of the erection of said posts the Stato authorities protested against the location of them in the State, grounds. Time and time again since their location there, the State authorities have de manded their removal. Whenever the demand was made, Mr. Gla ; s, the manager, has invariably promised to remove them by specified times. His last promise was made on Saturday evening to remove them by 9 o’clock this (Mondaj) morning, all of which said promises the said Glass has failed to perform. “This morniug, he, the said Glass, sent a message to the Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds, to the effect that he wou d not remove the posts at any time. J beg to inform you further ibat two mouths ago the State Board of Public Buildings and Grounds in a formal meeting resolved that these posts should be removed from the public grounds, and authorized me as chairman of the board to inform the said Glass of the resolution of the board, and if he still failed or refused to remove the said posts then that I should have the said posts cut down and removed from the said walk. The said Glass was duly in formed by written notice of the action of the Board. By my authority the Super intendent of Public Buildings and Grounds ordered his employees at nine o’clock this Monday morning to cut down »aid posts, and remove them from the side jwalks. Under that in struction the said employees promptly at nine o’clock appeared on said side walk for the purpose of carrying out said instructions. They were prevented from carrying out said order by two po licemen of the city of Raleigh who said they were instructed to arrest anybody who attempted to cut dow n these posts and they would do so. “I have giveu in detail the circum stances connected with this whole mat ter, aud to show you that I have not acted rashly in the execution of power vested in mo by the Board and the law, I re spectfully ask if these policemen acted by your authority and that you will give me the authority of law upon which you base your actions. “Elias Carr, “Governor and Chairman Board of Public Buildings and Grounds.” His Honor, Mayor Russ, not dreaming ot possibly how narrow an escape he had had from an open engagement with the State Guard, sought at once the City At torney, Mr. J. N. Holding with the re suit that a reply to the Governor went from him enclosing another written by Mr. Holding. Here are the letters: “Raleigh, N. C., June 3, 1895. “His Excellency Elias Carr, Governor and Chairman Board of Public Grounds and Buildings: “Dear Sir— Replying to your favor of this date, I herewith enclose you a copy of the opinion of J. N. Holding, city attorney, to whom the matter was referred. “When your instructions to your men, to cut down the polls, were reported to this office, I immediately sent officers to prevent it, and instrncted them to arrest any and every man who attempted it. “Very respectfully, “W. M. Russ, Mayor.” “June 3, 1895. “Hon. W. M. Russ, Mayor: “My Dear Sir:—ln reply to your com munication relative to the State’s rights to exercise control of sidewalks, etc., I beg to state that my construction of the city’s authority embraces control of sidewalks as well as streets and that where the city has granted permission to erect poles, not inconsistent with city ordinances, on sidewalks, the State has no right to cut down or remove same. Very truly, J. N. Holding, City Attorney.” Upon receipt of this letter, the Gover nor immediately wired Attorney General Asborne in Charlotte to report here at once for duty, in order that, in the premises, if possible, before things had grown more warlike, peace might yet be had with honor. When the Governor got his instruc tions from the Board of Public Works, Attorney General Osborne who is a member, was not present, but the au thority conveyed was considered suffi cient to warrant the following letter which speaks for itself: “ April 8, 1895. “Mr. Geo. Glass, Manager Telephone Exchange, Raleigh, N. G., “Dear Sir: I am instructed by the Board of Public Buildings and Grounds to inform you that at their last meeting it was unanimously '’ecided that you had no right to place telephone posts within the bounds of the sidewalk around the Executive Mansion, and that the same must be removed at once. Your chartered rights do not extend to the property owned in this city by the State of North Carolina, as the Com missioners of the city have heretofore held. You will please give this matter your immediate attention. “Very respectfully yours, “S. F. Telfair. “Sec. Board of P. B. and Grounds. ” To this letter the Governor yesterday said he had received no reply. The Governor’s argument is that if his sidewalks can thus be mutilated, there is nothing inconsistent with the same men’s tearing a hole through his roof through which to insert a telephone wire. Os course this is the well-known reductio ad absurdum argument, which is used with deadly effect by every boy in his Legendre days, and which is good in the domain of reason against mayors or anybody else. But Mayor Russ made a savage at tack upon the major premise, saying: those sidewalks are the city’s and not yours, your Excellency, and, therefore, logically speaking, we are not looking down your ram-barree. This statement the Mayor claims is back ed by the city ordinance, against which, further per centra , the Governor puts Section 2314 ofthe Code as follows: “The Board of Aldermen of the city of Raleigh shall have power to grade, lay out in walks, plant with trees, shrub bery and flowers, and otherwise adorn Moore square and Nash square in said city so as to make the same an ornament to the city, and to that end they shall have the general charge and manage ment of said squares. They may im prove iu like manner any of the vacant lots belonging to the State within the city limits not otherwise specially appro priated. ” The last sentence of this section is looked upon as defining the limits of the power of the Board of Aldermen, which limits, it is contended do not include the Governor’s Mansion and G rounds. This is the argument by exclusion, which, of course, must he answered by some other kind of argument from the Mayor, which will be given its proper technical name when_he makes it. Meantime Let Mayor Russ read this extract from the Code: “In time of war, invasion, rebellion, insurrection, or riot, or reasonable ap prehension, thereof, the commander-in chief may order out for active service (the State Guard)!” Again consider ! In the place of Cap itol Keeper Roberts, who left yesterday, have been appointed three men: Secretary Hinton, Capital Guard; Palmer Jerman, disbursing officer, and John J. Dunn, Guard of the Governor's Mansion Grounds. What mean those preparations ? Do they mean that in the lone moon light of last night’s watches, Officer of the Night, Dunn had his lance at rest, aud visor down in the Mansion grounds, and Mayor Russ's Sancho Panza figure, with the taller mount of his City Attor ney, on left-over marshal horses .from the unveiling, could have met on midnight ground. Die the thought! But blood was on the moon, and the town is breath less for the arrival of Attorney General Osborne, the possible D’lsraeli of the hour. PRICE FIVE CENTS. HOARD OF EDUCATION MEETS. The Magistrates, also. Attempt to .Meet with the County Commissioners, but Faii ol a Quorum and noTax-Col lector was Elected. Yesterday the Board of Education for the county of Wake, W. C. Brewer, of Wake Forest, chairman, C. N. Allen, Auburu, and J. E. Ballentine, Varina, ceased to exist, and the Board of County Commissioners, with W. C. Stronach as chairman and Register of Deeds, J. J. Rogers as Secretary, succeeded to the vacancies. The retiring board were not the only thing which the first Monday in June turned into history. The County Superintendent of Public In struction, Mr. H. A. Chappell, of Ral eigh, joined the line which has already left the county treasurer’s pay window. Mr. J. J. Rogers succeeds him as clerk to the commissioners. The law, as passed by the last General Assembly, creates the office of County Examiner whose duty is simply to exam ine teachers, and who is appointed by the clerk of the Superior court. Mr. Young did not hesitate a moment, after the commissioners met to appoint to the position Joseph P. Goodwin, of Garner, an ex- Democrat, who lost heartland became a Populist at the last election. The law also requires that on the first Monday in June the Commissioners and County Magistrates shall meet in joint session and elect the tax collectors. This would take from Sheriff Page the greater part of the income received from that office, and would make the pay from it verysmall. Yesterday the Magistrates met here of their own accord. The law designates no place for them to meet and no one to issue the usual call. There was not a quorum present, how ever, and after a vain attempt to meet with the commissioners they adjourned to meet at the call of a committee, which was given explicit instructions to issue the call for the Ist Monday in August. “Can the Commissioners be forced to meet with the magistrates ? ” a reporter asked Register of Deeds Rogers. “Force the commissioners,” said he, with em phasis, “no one can force them, they have the power of the Czar of Russia.” The retiring Superintendent of Public Instruction, Mr. Chappell, has made a very efficient officer. He has the esteem of every teacher in the county and his upright and straight forward way in managing the affairs of the office com mand the respect of all. During the session of the commission ers, Mr. W. C. Stronach was taken sud denly ill and had to be driven to his residence in Northeast Raleigh. The board adjourned without further action than the few changes among the school committeemen. Superintendent Public Instruction, Scarborough yesterday received ratifica tion of the following appointments of County Examiners: Wake, Joseph P. Goodwin, Gaines, Alamance, P. H. Fleming, Graham, Warren, J. R. Rod well, Warrenton, Jones, Thomas J. Whitaker, Trenton, Wilson, James W. Hays, Elm City, Johnston, Ira T. Tur lington, Smithfield, Cumberland, H. E. King. Fayetteville. SUCCESSOR OF PROF. MOSES, .Mr. L. D. Howell V’esterday Chosen Unanimously by the Hoard ol Educa tion—. Mr. Howell Conies Highly Rec ommended.
