Harrisburg, Pa., August 24.—The Re
publican State Convention assembled to
day in the Harrisburg Opera House and
nominated Colonel James E. Barnett, of
the Tenth Pennsylvania regiment, for
State Treasurer; J. Haybnnvn. of Lan
caster, for Supreme Court Judge and
.Install R- Adams, of Philadelphia, for
Superior Court Judge. The nomination
for Supreme Judge is equivalent to an
election l»y reason of two vacanci*.i in
the court and no elector being entitled
to vote for more than one person.
'ldle platform endorses the admims'vu
tions of President McKinley and Gover
nor Stone, commends the Executive for
his appointment of Colonel Quay to it.e
IT. S. Senate and pledges the party to
a reduction in the expenditures of the
departments of the State government.
A feature of the convention was
the presence of Senator Quay as a dele
gate from Beaver county, and the ale
sence of Senator O. L. Magee, of Pitts
burg. who is convalescing from a severe
illness. Senator David Martin was aho
missing from his accustomed place in
the Philadelphia delegation. In his place
as the leader of the Philadelphians was
Insurance Commissioner Israel \Y. Dur
ham.
A demonstration was made in Senator
Quay’s honor when he entered the hall
accompanied by State Chairman Elkin
and took a seat close to the stage w.rh
his colleagues from Beaver county
Senator Penrose, temporary Chairman,
addressed the convention, saying of the
Philippines:
“We cannot and will not recede.
Brave nations, like brave men. must go
forward. To withdraw is to invite con
tempt and encroachment. I take it that
we do ont have the spirit of mere terri
torial acquisition, but, as a commercial
nation, commercial expansion, the acqui
sition of new fields of industrial outlet is
essential to our progress. Our possession
of the Philippines is an assurance that
the growing supremacy of American
commerce in the Far East will In- pro
moted and protected. We will uphold
the honor of the flag there, notwith
standing the carping and misrepresenta
tion and the narrow-minded fauut'.risin
of our Democratic opponents in their
tirades against the bugaboo they are
pleased to term ‘imperialism.’ ”
A MOTHER TELLS HOW SHE
SAVED HER LITTLE DAUGH
TER’S LIFE.
I am the mother of eight children and
have had a great deal of experience with
medicines. Last summer my little daugh
ter had the dysentery in its worst form.
We thought she would die. I tried every
thing I could think of, but nothing seem
ed to do her any good. I saw by an ad
vertisement in our paper that Chamber
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was highly recommended and
sent and got a bottle at once. It proved
to be one of the very best medicines we \
ever had in the house. It saved my I
little daughter’s life. I am anxious for j
every mother to know what an excellent
medicine it is. “Had I known it at first
it would have saved a great ileal of
anxiety ami my little daughter much
suffering—-Yours truly, Mrs. Geo. P.

M. .Tea® Bureau, private secretary of
Labori, is in Seattle returning from a
trip to the Northwest, where he has lieen
to obtain valuable information favoring
Dreyfus.

THE NEWS AND OBSERVER, FRIDAY MORNING. AUGUST 25, 1?99.
ALONE LABORI
FIGHTS THEM ALL
(Continued from First Page.)
they only knew the case from the docu
ments in the dossier and the t<“stiniony
given.
Replying to M. Labori, Maurel said
ho did not know General Merrier and
had never seen him since the trial until
June last.
M. Laliori —“Can Colonel Maurel tell
us to whom to attribute the secret com
munication of the dossier?.’
Colonel Maurel—“l have not the slight
est idea.”
M. LilKiri—“Can you tell us the name
of the officer who brought you the pri
vate letter?”
Colonel Maurel —“It was Du Paty De
Clam.” (Sensation).
M. Labori—-“Were there any doeu
meats in this secret dossier? Can you
state what they were?”
Colonel Maurel —“I only saw one or
.them. I did not look at the others be
cause my mind was already made up.”
M. Laliori—“Had the other members
of the court also made up their minds?”
Colonel Maurel—“Yes.”
Witness added that, two members of
the court confided to him on this sub
ject.
M. Labori —“Can you tell us how,
knowing as the judge, that it was your
duty to seek conscientiously for infor
mation, and to expect sincere communi
cations from tly* public prosecutor, that
is to say, communications setting forth,
all the points in the case both for and
against the prisoner, you could be of
the opinion that your mind was loyally
made up after reading a single docu
ment?” (Prolonged sensation).
Colonel Maurel replied that he could
not answer, because, if he did, he would
have to sjieak of the first document in
the dossier, “which convinced the court
of The prisoner's guilt.”
At this point M. Liliori said lie would
like to confront Colonel Maurel with
Captain Freystatter, another of the
judges at the court martial of 1894.
Rut !• rcystattcr was not present and
Colonel Maurel promised to wait a few
days and give the captain an opportunity
of attending.
A lively incident followed. M. Labori
asked leave to interrogate General
Merrier. The Government commissary
Major Carriere, took occasion to remark
that while counsel had the right to ask
questions lie had no business to draw
deductions, to which the lawyer dryly
replied that he had always acted with
a full knowledge of the restrictions im
posed upon counsel, and that he had no
need of lessons from Major Carriere and
would not accept them. General Mer
rier was then recalled.
M. Labori said he desired to know if
General Merrier admitted ordering Col
onel Maurel to communicate secret doc
uments to the court martial of 1894.
General Merrier: “I knew I did not
have the right to give formal orders to
that effect, but I gave verbal orders,
in a manner sufficiently clear.” (Sensa
tion.)
The General refused to reply to many
of the questions. For instance, he de
clined to say whether he had examined
the proofs advanced against Dreyfus,
M. Labori: “In short, you considered
it in the nature of a sensational move to
have Dreyfus prosecuted and sentenced?
Did you examine previously the charges
against Dreyfus?”
General Merrier: “I only examined
tin? nature of the documents betrayed.”
M. Labori: “Was it not necessary for
that purpose to fix the date of the
bordereau?”
General Merrier: “I do not think so.”
M. Labori pointed out the contradic
tions in the evidence of the officers of
• he headquarters’ staff regarding the im
portance ami nature of the contents of
the bordereau, and asked General Mer
rier where Dreyfus could have obtained
particulars about the pneumatic brake.
The General objected hotly to being
asked to repeat this, and M. Labori,
equally warm, said:
“1 am only asking for definite state
ments.”
Merrier then said he thought Dreyfus
might have had cognizance of the brake
at Bourges, adding:
“In any case, he had a better chance
to obtain such knowledge than Ester
hazy could possibly have had.”
M. Labor!: “General Merrier says
Dreyfus might have had cognizance. I
desire to emphasive that expression.
We shall now prove Dreyfus could not
have bad cognizance of the brake.
Counsel proceeded to demonstrate how
rigorously the secret of the construction
of the brake was guarded and asked
why, in 1894. the charges regarding the
Robin Melinite shells were not dwelt
llJMIll?
General Merrier: “That arises on the
simple fact that it was not known until
189*5 or 1897 that information on the
subject, was being divulged. The exist
ence of treachery in regard to the dis
tribution of heavy artillery among the
army corps was unknown until 1895.”
Continuing, M. Labori asked why Gen
eral Merrier did not have a report pre
pared regarding the confessions Dreyfus
is alleged to have made to Captain
Lebriin-Renault.
Merrier: “The question of the confes
sions was of no importance until a re
vision of the case seemed impossible
M. Labori: “What does General Mer
rier thunk of Estcrhazy and the part lie
played?”
Merrier: “I do not know Estcrhazy
and I do not think about him at all.”
M. Labori: “Did von know him at his
trial air 1898?”
General Merrier: “No.”
Colonel Jon a list: “General Merrier
was not Minister of War then.”
M. Labori: “This is most interesting.
General Merrier declares that b*- knows
nothing of The trial of 1894.”
General Merrier: “I know nothing of
it. I leave that to the court martial
which tried Estcrhazy. I have only lo
answer in court for my acts, and I re
fuse 1 the night to question me about my
thoughts." (Sensation.)
Colonel Jounust, addressing M. Labo
ri. said:
“You are reverting to the evidence of
General Merrier?”
M. Labori: “M.v object 'ln interrogat
ing the witness is to revert to his evi
dence.”
General Merrier: “I protest against
(lie word ‘interrogatory,’ for I am not
a prisoner.”
(Note —Interrogatory, in French law.
generally applies to the examination of
an accused person by a magistrate.)
M. Labor!: “It is not n question of
interrogatory. 1 used the word in most
respectful sense. Will General Mer
rier say what lo- means for tin* charge
preferred against the partisans of Drey
fus of having spent thirty-live million
francs. What was this sum used for?
The amount is simply ridiculous.”
General Merrier: “I might just as
well ask you.” (Sensation).
M. Labori: “Do you mean ro suggest
that it was spent in advertisements and
in buying consciences?”
General Merrier: “I say nothing
whatever. I 111
“.Vs the* questions of counsel
touched upon the secret dossier and a
certain document in blue pencil General
Gon.sc*. General Rogi t. M. Gribelin and
Major Luith also pnrt'ielpafed in the
discussion, which almost degenerated
into a wrangle.”
The Government Commissary. Major
Carriere, protested against surii discus
sion and Colonel Je,mmst ordered silence.
Major Lautli said In* believed a clue
to the blue pencil document existed be
fore tin* trial of 1894, and M. Labori
asked why, in that case, it was not
produced at the trial, since it incrimin
ated the prisoner?
General Merrier said he did not know
of this clue, and Major La lit h disclaim
ed all responsibility in the matter as he
was not connected with the preliminary
inquiry.
General Gose said the document had
been in the possession of Colonel Saml
herr (Sensation,) and it was by him
placed in the secret dossier for compari
son with other papers.
M. Labori asked for explanations in
regard to the commentary on the secret
dossier, and General Merrier admitted
lie destroyed it in 1897.
General Ohamoin was drawn into the
discussion and said lie communicated
the translation of the PanizzariLi tele
gram to General Roget while enjoining
absolute privacy on the subject.
When asked if he accepted responsi
bility for this document. General
Ohamoin replied in tin* affirmative, ad
ding. however, the admission that he
had made a mistake.
Colonel Jounust intimated that the
court ought to take no notice of the
document in question.
Dreyfus here gave a detailed story of
how lie employed his time at Bourges
from October, 1889, to February, 1890.
lie said that he was preparing for his
examinations, and had no time to go to
cases or to think of anything outside of
his duties. This was a reply to General
Mercier’s assertions that he could have
learned the secret of the pneumatic
brake there.
General Risbourg, who was command
er of the Republican Guard in Paris,
in 1894, was the next witness. lie de
scribed the scene with Captain Lebrun-
Reiiault, when the witness learned of
Dreyfus’ alleged confessions to Captain
L*brim-Reuault the day after the
prisoner’s degradation.
After being asked the usual question,
Dreyfus protested against General Ris
bourg’s evidence.
Dreyfus then proceeded to give the
true version of his words on the occa
sion of the alleged confession and dwelt
on his protestations of innocence to Du
Paty De Clam.
The prisoner’s remarks deeply impress
ed his hearers.
At the request of Demango, General
Merrier was recalled and assed to ex
plain why, having sent Du Paty De
Clam to discover the amount of injury
Dreyfus had done, ho had not followed
tip 'his investigations.
Colonel Jounust: “Since the prisoner
seemed to have begun making avowals
of his guilt, why did you not follow the
matter tip?”
General Merrier: “I might, iierhaps,
have thought of it. But it did not occur
to me.” < ,
The prisoner again protested teat the
inquiry ought to have been followed up.
“because at would have served to de
stroy the fiction of a confession to which
nrurii importance is now attached.
(Sensation.)
Continuing', Dreyfus said:
“Will you permit me. my Colonel, to
untake a small remark with reference to
the fiction: of my confcssii us. 1 re
mained In tin* prison of La Saute for two
or three weeks and saw M. Dcniauge
during that period, and then, while 1
was at the Hie de Re. I wrote to the
Minister of War anil others, i believe
the letters I Wrote are contained in the
secret dossier. I believe I also wrote to
the head of the State. How is it I was
never asked about the legend oi confes
sion, that I was in a position to destroy
immediately? I never heard a word of
it. It was only four years later, in Jan
uary. 1899, when interrogated by the
commit ssioners sent by t'hc < oiirt of Cas
sation that 1 heard of this fiction.”
M. Gtnirges-Charles.Alfred-Marie-Mil
lin de Grandinaison, deputy from the
Aumur District of Maiue-Et-Loire, who
is classed as a royalist, though register
ed as a Liberal Republican, next ap
peared at the witness bar and repeated
the testimony he had given before the
Court of Cassation. He recalled a con
versation he had with an English friend,
Mr. Charles Baker, who said he was
assured Dreyfus was innocent, because
he had seen a letter from Colonel
Soli war tzkopiven affirming the prisoner’s
innocence. Baker, it seems, also men
tioned numerous documents showing
that certain French officers, not includ
ing Dreyfus, were spies, and Baker ask
ed the witness to publish the documents
but without proofs of their genuineness,
us Emoeror \\ illiom did not wish to
intervene.
After hearing several other unimport
ant witnesses, the court adjourned.
