REMOVAL SALE WEfEEM&feWQRLD pun men mm a bolt MOBTOS MEX NOT TO BE SEATED ARBITRARILY. US- 8o Far All the Contests Have Been Settled In McKlnley's Favor Cutting Short the Oratorical Efforts of Con testantsMinnesota's Action. St. Louis. June 12. There was open talk among the New York men this morning of a bolt from the convention if tre eight contests in the New York dele gation are decided against tbe Piatt del egates. Piatt's friends seem to be under the impression that the contestants in New York who favor McKinley's nom ination will be seated, and they have no hesitancv in saying tbat such a conrse will justify them in any act they may take to preserve their self-respect. These gentlemen assert tbat McKinley cannot be elected without tbe electoral vote of New York. They recall the defeat of Judge Folger for the governorship in 1882 by 190,000 majority because one delegate went to the State convention on a forged proxy. They reason there from that, if such a spirit of resentment could be aroused bv a circumstance so comparatively unimportant, much greater ill feeling would assuredly be engendered by what they term a "whole sale robberv of seats." Fx-S;nator Piatt does not sav that he and his friends will leave the convention ball in such a contingency, but be leaves no doubt upon an inquirer's mind tbat such a course would be justified. Every member of tbe national corn mittee was in his seat or represented by a proxy when tbe body reconvened a 10:30. As soon as Chairman Carter had called his associates to order. Com mitteeman N. B. Scott of West Virginia asked the committee to give its serious attention to the (act that, while this was the third dav ot the session, only 60 contests so far had been passed upon, and 108 still remained upon the order of business. This, he said, in view of the short time remaining to the committee, was a se rious outlook, and it became absolutely necessary to acelerate business. He therefore moved that from now on, each side in tbe contested delegations be allowed but 10 minutes for presentation of its case. This was adopted by a vote oi 25 to 17. Secretary Manlev an nounced tbat the contest in the Eight Virginia was withdrawn bt letter, and the names c f W. B. G. Shumate and H. K. Wale placed upon the temporarv loll. Both are instructed for Mckinley while the contestants were divided be tween Reed and Allison. The Silver Battle Not Won Yet. New York, June 12 The World this morning says: Minnesotas s Demo cratic State convention yesterday de clarcd for gold. This makes it certain tbat the silver men will be unable to elect two-thirds of all the dele gates. It means also that they will be unable to nominate a free silver candi date f r president if the t wc-thirds rule whicn has prevailed for half a century in Democratic national conventions, is pre served. The whole number of delegates to the national con vention is 918; two-thirds, or a ma jority sufficient to nominate, is 612. The sold standard men have alreadv elected 217 delegates. New York and Maine state conventions, which meet in tbe next fortnight, are certain to be for sound money, excepting possiblv two Maine delegates. This will add S2 dele gates 72 for New York and 10 for Maine to the gold column, making 299 delegates who will demand the mainten ance of the single gold standard. Nearly all tbe Wisconsin delegation is conceded even by silver men" to the gold standard." r rankfort, Ky., June 12 Governor Bradley will go to St. Louis Sundav night and will remain during the con vention. STATE HOSPITAI More Room Needed at the Institution at Morganton. Capt. Jas. P. Sawyer, who was at Morganton this week attending tbe reg ular quarterly meeting of the board of directors of tbe State Hospital, of which he is president, savs tbat the question of more room at the institution was again difcussed. Room for women patients is tspecially needed, be savs, and if any more are admitted a corresponding number of women must be sent awav. There are now 668 patients in the hos pital. Capt. Sawyer thinks the matter of increased accommodation should be agitated bv the State papers and brought belore the attention of the leg islature when it again assembles. At tbe meeting delegates were ap pointed to attend the second meeting, at Asheville September 16, of the Asso ciation of Southern Hospitals for the In sane. Drs. Murphy and Taylor and Di rectors Sawyer and Caldwell were ap pointed to represent the hospital. NEW SANITARY INSPECTOR. W. H Bird Chosen by the City Board of Health. At the meeting of the Board of Health last evening in City Hall W. H. Bird was chosen sanitary inspector. With tbe exception of Dr. H. B. Weaver all the members of tbe Board were present When a vote was taken Mr. Bird re ceived two votes and the present incum bent, Capt. B. t. Rives, also received two.

Some time ago a man called on Capt. W. T. Weaver, ownerol theMaxwelton, and represented that he wanted to open a recruiting office of the U. S. army. He selected a suitable room, making a show of being careful to get proper light and arrangements for his work. He told Capt. Weaver tbat owing to certain red tape that had to be observed before get ting money from his superior officer he had not the necessary amount to pay a month's rent, and on his request the owner made an agreement for a week. The man established himself In his office, but a few days later Capt. Weaver was informed tbat the tenant seemed to do most of bis work at night. Tbe owner became suspicious and alter ir- vestigating left a note for the tenant ad vising him to vacate before 11 o'clock next dav, otherwise be would be put out by due process of law. The tenant obiyed the injunction. His outfit consisted of a table and half a dozen chairs. Some playing cards found in the room indicated the manner of re cruiting he was doing. He told tne jan itor he had made $70 during his stay. ON THEIR BRIDAL, TRIP. Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Coleman of Cedar town, Ga., In the City. Walter Scott Coleman and Miss Annis Thompson of Cedartown, Ga., were married in that town Wednesday after noon. Sjon after tbe wedding Mr. and Mrs. Coleman left for Asheville, arriving yesterday afternoon. They are guests of the Battery Park hotel, and will remain week or more.

He enjoys the double distinction of being the voungest newspaper man who has held the presidency of tbe association, and tbe only one who has been twice elected to that position. ONLY ONE SMALL WORD. But It Made a Vital Difference In the Story of the Killing. 1 be intelligent compositor and proof reader combined yesterday to make The Citizen say something in the report of the killing of Sam Henry that was ex actly the reverse of what was written. In quoting Dave Israel he was made to say "As God is mv witness I did want to hurt Sam," etc. What Israel did say was tbat he did not want to hurt Henry. Fortunately, the context was such as to make it plain to the reader that there! had been an omission. They Must Answer For It. Constantinople, June 12.

This Points Towards Gnthrle and Sep. -Pop. Fusion all Alone the Line Russell to Be Consoled By an Office. Raleigh, June 12. Special. -State Repnblican Committeeman lim Young savs a majority of tbat committee fav ors taking down the North Carolina Re publican electoral ticket and putting up a free silver ticket. He says further that, after the Republican national conven tion adjourns, McKinley and tbe na tional committee will be asked to assent to this change. If they assent, all right; but if not, tbe change will be made any way. Ed. Chambers Smith insists that Rus sell's resignation is in band, but is tenta tive and not yet acted on. Loge Harris says what tbe Populists want is the electoral ticket, and tbat this must be given tbem sooner or later. or the Republicans will sorely lose tbe State. He declares tbat if given this Populists will vote for Russell. Many Popnlists declare that tbe odds yet are in favor of three tickets. It is also said that, if Russell comes off, be will do so with tbe understanding that be is to have some good office, say a ministership abroad, perhaps to Mex ico, if the Republicans carry the national election. J. It. HICKS IS HERE. Hoarding Now With Mr. Jamison Has Nothing to Say. J. R. Hicks, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff F. M. Jones, arrived this after noon from Tuscola, III. By the prie oners request tne othcer took a carriage for tbe city jail. All along the route Hicks kept up a lively conversa tion, but would say nothing for publics tion. "It is bad policy," be said, "and I shall let someone else do mv talking." Hicks bad nothing to sav regarding his trouble to Deputy Sheriff I ones since they met in Tuscola, except to remark that he could pay all be owed. As tbe carnage neared tbe jail Hicks made several jocular remarks about bis prospective boarding house, and when the jail had been reached he asked Jailer (amison how much be charged for board. He took everything philo sophically, and has since be and tbe offi cer left Tuscola, III., Wednesday night. "He baa acted the perfect gentleman," Mr. Jones said. As vet Hicks has retained no counsel and there will be no preliminary bear ing f or several days perhaps. TWO COURTS. Judges Slmontou and Seymour Will Preside Next Wreek.
