week RAIDED BY THE CHIEF Major. McClaughry Captures Sixty Gamblers Ar THE HOUSE OF DAVID. The Chief Has No Difficulty in Entering the Place. When He Had Seen Enough He Put the Whole Crowd Under Arrest. HE SAW FOR Chief McClaughry decided to see for himself last night if gambling was being carried on as openly in Chicago as the opponents of the saloon element represented.

The result of his investigation was a whole. sale raid upon one of the most notorious gambling houses in the city--the House of David. Sixty "crap" shooters, all white, were carted down to the Armory and locked up. The Chief had selected the House of David, Nos. 162-164 Clark street, because he was 1 led to believe that the most flagrant violations of the law were beinz committed within its walls.

In citizen's clothes, and accompanied by Detective Broderick, he went into the saloon, on the ground floor. "Where can I find a nice, quiet game?" he asked man behind the bar. "What sort of a game do you want?" inquired the bar-tender. any Chief replied. "Poker or craps or "Right through door and down to the was the information, and the head of the Chicago police department, followed by one of his most trusted detectives, went below.

Not a question was asked, not a password required. Everthing was as free and above board as are the operations in the Board of Trade pit. Chief McClaughry spent a few minutes in taking a hasty examination of the entrances and exits to the place, mapping out a miniature campaign for his operations. The dollars were changing bands on every hand, noise of the dice, as they rattled down on the tables to the melodious accompaniment of "Come 'sevencome eleven," was strange music for the Chief's ears. Presently Detective Williams sauntered leisurely in through the Arcade court entrance, close behind him came Detectives Corbett and McDonald.

Other officers, all in citizens' clothes, came to swell the crowd, and all, including the Chief, were apparently deeply interested in watching the players. When Chief McClaughry thought his force of detectives was sufficient he stepped to one end of the room and wrapped on the wall with his hand. "Gentlemen," he said, "you are all under arrest." The effect was magical. The players cared little whether they had made their "point" or not, and everybody turned their faces toward the speaker. "It's Chief McClaughry," was circulated in a whisper among the nten, and whenever a player chanced to impart the information to a detective by mistake he was told that he had guessed correctly.

There was no attempt to force an escape on the part of any one, although the police had taken the precaution to have every door guarded. The officers all displayed their stars, and Chief McClaughry personally conducted the transfer of the men to station. Here they wens Sailed out by d. E. Thomas, the: estored lawyer.

BUFFALO BILL'S FLYING VISIT." Colonel Cody, of the Wild West Show, Chicago. Allen, of Bloomington, was present and conducted affairs, after which the brethren sat -down to a banquet. POLITICAL. CULLOM HERE. Senator Shelby M.

Cullom arrived at the Auditorium late last evening. The Senator has changed very little since his last visit, but if anything he looks perhaps a trifle mere like Lincoln. He admitted that he would accept the nomination for President if tendered him, but expressed himself as very uncertain as to the action of the convention in that regard. The Senator counts a great many friends in Cook County and a few even in his own county. But he does not claim to be a prophet.

He would venture nothing as to the future, and would not even express himself concerning the prospects of the Oglesby boom. He was cheerful, courteous, and well contented with the world and the condition of the Republican party. The Senator could say nothing upon the probable action of the Senate on the silver issue. "But it is iny opinion," said he, "that in the end we must have an equal standard for currency, This be reached by agreement with other nations or by national legslation. I can not tell, but it is safe to say that nothing will be done in the matter by this session, as the Democrats seem afraid of the Concerning the question of his candidacy the Senator said: going to Europe I remarked that Blaine could have the nomination should he want it.

Since his withdrawal the field is open. I believe that, though the office of President of the United States is the highest gift in the hands of man to bestow, any citizen may aspire to occupy When Blaine withdrew I told my friends that I would be glad to accept the nomination at Minneapolis tendered me. But if I should not be able to receive it my own State delegation would be free to do as they thought Senator Cullom did not think Me. Blaine would resign from the Cabinet, although he WAS not a man. He believes that as Cleveland and Hill seem to be at variance still, the Democratic nominee may be Senator John M.

Palmer, of Illinois. said he, Hill came to Washington there has been less talk to warrant such a notion." The Senator will speak to-night at the Marquette Club banquet given at the Auditorium in honor of Lincoln's birthday. POLITICAL PROSPECTS. he answered "Harrison." "What makes you think so?" "Faith: and why should he not be? His administration has been one to hold the vote of all Republicans, and you can be sure that many Democrats will hardly care for a change when they are 80 very prosperous. while abundance has already created contentment with all existing conditions the prosperity of the next two years in this country is likely to surpass that of any period of its history." do you consider the strongest Democratic possibility?" "I believe there is nO doubt but that Cleveland is still the idol of his party.

but it may be that owing to the differences that have recently arisen among the Democrats on the tariff issue General Palmer, of Illinois, might be a safer STATE POLITICS. Representative Carson, of Champaign County, has been talking pretty loud around about Chicago for several days, and it is rumored that as a result some favor has been gained for Hill, with Boies as second choice, and for Andy Hunter as a gubernatorial candidate and Colonel J. S. Wolf, "the best. lawyer in Southeru Illinois," as a candidate for Attorney General, Mr.

Carson was approached while here by Cook Count. a proposition to de Cook County Dam- Fair, occasion lately to cast an eye Senator T. W. Palmer, of the World's over the political fields adjoining him. "Who will be the Republican nominee for President?" he was asked last evening, and ocrats Aligeld for Governor, and they have become alarmed at Andy Hunter's boom.

So they offered to give him the nomination for Congressman at large if he would withdraw in favor of Altgeld. Carson will see Hunter and report. But this does not do away with Ed Wilson, who is the strongest direct opponent of Altgeld. And he has, it is believed, a sufficient strength to make a compromise necessary. This brings Stevenson into a prominent position as a compromise.

What does Wilson want? He wants to be Governor, or a vindication in shape of some equivalent. Mf. Wilson looks high. It might be a Congressional or even the Senatorial plum that is necss-ary to appease his appetite. And meanwhile the Morrison plot grows thicker and the treason to General Palmer becomes more PENNSYLVANIA DELEGATES.

J. Marshall Wright, the chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee of Pennsylvania, secured room for seventy delegates at the Sherman House yesterday. There will be sixty delegates and sixty alternates from the Keystone State. It is said that Mr. Wright 18 for Hill.

Sir William Vernon Harcourt (Liberal) seconded the motion, and it was adopted by the House in silence, This is a move preparatory to the formal expulsion of the member.

For this reason it is believed that he will not return to England to face the grave charge hanging over him. In the House of Lords to-day the Marquis of Jobn Londonderry asked whether it was true that Dillon, William (Brien, and Timothy Healy, all members of the House of Commons, had at their own request been accorded police protection in Ireland. Earl Cadogan rephed that police protection had been accorded to the gentlemen named, but further than that he declined to say anything. The Marquis of Londonderry reminded the House that persons" only recently went about posing as idols of the Irish people. They had denounced the executive power in the most violent language for having them shadowed but now they were extremely glad to avail themselves of shadowing for their protection.

The Marquis further said that protection had been conceded to them because two raging factions existed in Ireland who were breaking each other's beads and who were ready to shed each other's blood. It WaS to the interest of the Unionists to make people understand the condition of the Irish parties in order that they might realize how absurd and dangerous it would be to grant the Irish any measure of home rule that would place the loyal minority at the tender mercies of such men.

this case for some time, but did not find a clew until the case of Lottie Griffiths was made known to them to-day. They are nOW watching diligently for the supposed child stealers. While Lottie Griffiths, daughter of George H. Western salesman for a Utica shoe firm, was on her way to Cleveland one day last July, she met a woman who gave her name as Brownell. This woman became much attached to Lottie and urged the girl to accompany her to Europe.

Lottie's parents refused to listen to such a proposition, but the girl ran away from home when pressed by Miss Brownell, who came to Detroit to see her. They started for New York, a8 Lottie supposed, but landed in Chicago where they went to a house on North Clark street, the Brownell woman pretending that she had business to attend to before leaving that night. Lottie was drugged and ruined. She became the mistress of a Board of Trade man, but was discarded by him when when it became apparent that she was about to become a mother. Instead of pursuing a life of shame she repented and came home to her parents, who forgave her.

The excitement has grown SO intense and interest in the direction of the alleged abductors great that Miss Griffith to-day gave the facts of her case to the police with the hope that it might prove a clew to the discovery the of the guilty ones. Miss Griffiths says North that house to which she was taken on Clark street was an elegantly furnished one, and that she was taken to a flat on Indiana street, where she was maintained by the Board of Trade man.

If you have good reason produce it. ter of a century have established a uniform WE DO NOT DENY the importance of organization. A large amount of authority and power must be allowed to those who are intrusted with the execution of the party's wishes.

These men who are called leaders must bear in mind that they are trustees and agents, not autocrate and principals; that they can not substitute their will for that of the mass of their political brethren. I am making no objection to 80- called 'bosses' and so-called If bosses are merely. leaders, faithful to their duties, they are as necessary in po'itics as in war, and calling them bad names does not change the situation or belittle their power. "It may be said that there was power enough in the leaders to fix such dates as they might deem expedient for the holding of the convention. In a certain measure this is true, but when that power was conferred upon them it was with certain reservations, the reservation first of good faith.

Has this been done in good faith? It was intended that ordinary usages should be followed. It was intended that all Democrats should have an opportunity to register their voices. It was not intended to cut off thousands of men, without regard to right, in order to serve a purpose. "It may be that no purpose exists, but there is one thing which we need not be politicians to understand. That is, that no great party can afford to place its members in such a strait that loyalty to party and self-respect can not Mr.

Coudert was interrupted by frequent applause and laughter, though it was noticeable that nearly all the applause came from the FRONT SECTION OF THE HALL, containing about one-half the audience. Those who applauded did 80 enthusiastically, but fully the audience, mainly those in the rear seats or those standing in the aisles, maintained the attitude of spectators who listened. Some one shouted "Three cheers for Grover Cleveland." There was a good response, followed by scattering hisses. The experiment was not tried again. At the conclusion of Mr.

Coudert's specch a list" of vice presidents and 300 names attached to the call for secretaries, containing, selection of about the meeting was read. Ex- United States Dietrict Attorney Walker then offered the resolutions which were warmly applauded. When Chairman Coudert called for the yeas and nays, the resolutions were adopted with practical unanimity, only a few scattering noes, less than a dozen in all, being heard when the chairman called for them. THE RESOLUTIONS WERE: Resolved, That this assembly of Democrats of the city of New York now makes its respectful protest and appeal against the uncalled for and itt-advised action of State committee in designating so early a date as the 22d of February for the meeting of the State committee, a convention which 18 to elect delegates to the National convention of appointed to be held in Chicago on June 21, 1892. Resolved, That the right of voters of political party to assemble at the call of the leader, who, as its representatives and serv.

That such expression should be made in party assemblies upon subjects to be presently to be at as near a. time to that wherein decision is reached as can be reasonably and conveniently appointed. DELEGATES SHOULD BE FRESH from the people.

No body of men elected to express the will of the voters assembled in party convention should be for an unreasonable time, custodians of the voters' or hold their delegated powers for 8 period longer than is absolutely necessary for the purpose. The people are justified in resenting any action on the part of the party whereby their voices shall be suppressed or perverted. Resolved, That the history of contests upon National issues into the State of New York since 1856 shows that too much prudence can not be exercised, nor are too much enthusiasm and labor possible, in the effort to carry the State of New York for the Democratic party. The record of success is confined to three out of nine of the most recent canvasses. We have met acd every time must meet An arrogant and unscrupulous adversary.

The area of contest is our whole imperial domain. In such a strife success does not go to numbets only. It rests upon unity and fidelity in every county to the interests and principles of the voters as declared in party platforms which have been the basis of successful contests, and it is absolutely necessary in every campaign that DO just grievances of the people from the conduet of party managers should PRODUCE LUKEWARMNESS and hesitation anywhere in the great army of Democratic voters. They are a body of volunteers and not of hired soldiers and must be taken into the confidence of their leaders in the early stages of the fight. Leadership need not and should not in volve duress.

Resolved, That the State committee holds its functions and political powers in trust for the welfare of the party. Its action in calling the State convention for the 22d of February, and thereby forcing the holding of the primaries on brief notice is contrary to party usage and irregular. It denies to the Demoerntic electors of this State a full, fair, and effective exercise of their right to be represented in caucuses, primaries, and district and State conventions. This action is a grave violation of the political duties of the committee which can not but expose the party to needless danger in the election next November. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions over the hand of the president of this meeting be sent to the several members of the State committee, and that a committee of fifty, with power to add to its number, be appointed by the chairman of this meeting to communicate with the members of the Democratic State Committee, and respectfully protest against their action in designating the date already fixed for the State convention.

and that they be urged to reconsider such action and revoke their call; and, if that is not done, that the committee hereby created exercise such further powers and take such other action as may secure a proper representation of the people of the State in the National convention of the party, and as may seem proper and in accordance with the spirit of these 708- olutions. THE NEXT SPEAKER was John G. Milburn, of Erie County. He declared for sending a delegation to Chicago to come right from the heart of the people, for Grover Cleveland," shouted a voice among strong for genuine tarif reform, for a sound currency, an administration conducted on business principles, and for the nomination of a high-minded Democrat who is such in deeds and not in words alone. "It was during this speech that the latent enthusiasm for Grover Cleveland was brought out.

Yelle went up as from one throat and cheers upon cheers. -Hats were waved and umbrellas flourished wildly, "Grover Cleveland" was the ery. "What's the matter with Grover?" "He's all came the response. William A. Beach, of Syracuse, next spoke, and referred to the calling vention as "a gross and E.

"I do not intend. son, "to say anything as to positions taken by these citizens of our State on th red to. I only refer to present questions of of great moment, que almost every commercial terest in the land.

I only say that if there ever was it was RIGHT AND PROPER AND that the people who were to be all results of should have tunity. to deliberate, discuss, and deal their own which of the two should be their standard-bearer, that sion was presented by the gravity of these issues and the relations held thereto by these two candidates. "It was under these circumstances that committee of thirty- four gentlemen met together on the 29th of January at- the Hoffman House in the city of New York, for the purpose of determining the time at which the State convention should be held. -In the face of a protest of unrivaled force and clearness ex. pression, contained in the leading Democratio organ this city, with the knowledge all the facts above referred to relating to the issues and the candidates, with the knowledge that there was, as matter of fact, a wide divergence opinion among the people as of to these candidates, the committee without deliberate consideration, and after 8 session not exceeding forty minutes issued their call for the 22d of February next.

It was certainly a departure from usage and from precedent. No, good reason has been assigned by any member of the committee or any of its defenders for THIS EXTRAORDINARY ACTION, and no reason can be assigned for it except that it was intended to advance the fortunes and the ambitions of David B. Hill." Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charles F. Fairchild said: "We who have been active in this movement and will continue to be active therein until the end thereof, have only our simple duty, toward a party and a done cause we love. bolieve that both our principles are in peril.

We be1. lieve that great numbers of Democrats, both in State and Nation, feel this peril, and therefore that we would be cravens and cowards did we not do our utmost to give an outlet to the deep feeling which we know to exist, a and which has been repressed by every device known to official power and party machinery. "Just so firm as has been and as will be my devotion to Democracy, just so firmly will I stand by this movement to check the usurpers, who, while wearing the labels, seek to bind all true Deinocrats in chains, and thus prevent them from defending the principles of Democracy." A telegram of commendation was received from the State of Alabama, which was as follows: MONTGOMERY, Feb. Coudert, Chairman: The Montgomery Cleveland Democratic Club, 500 members, express to the mass-meeting at Cooper a cordial indorsement of its object, and protest against the action of the New York State committee as unjust, unfair, and as seriously imperiling the party's interests throughout the Union.

S. W. Yoyes, wire of Dr, Edmund Noyes, of this city, was announced in THE INTER OCEAN of yesterday.
