ing, in which nearly all of the time
allotted to the Alaska contest was
given to the contestants by Mr. .1. H.
Cobb, who represented the regular
delegation. A prominent United
States senator, a supporter of Wood

credentials committee, in making the

by Gov. Strong, stated that falcon,

very bad case”.
Sfon of Baltimore Contest
The following statement of the pr >
•oedings at Baltimore was given The
Umpire by a progressive I democrat, a
personal! friend of i)elegate Wicker
sham, <me who was at Baltimore and
possesses first hand information on
is subj<rt:
"Wlie. the Alaska delegation
reached Baltimore, they found that
W m. 1 ft onnor and Falcon loslin ha 1
already ti ed with the* national com*
miteo, t!ie credentials of the delegates
from the Framo-O’Connor-Harrais
convention. These credentials pur
ported to give seats in the national
convention to Mr. O’Connor and Fai
son .loslin as delegates at largo, and
those two only were in attendance,
but they were holding proxies for
other persons. *
"It is wadi enough to remember the
personnel of this delegation Wm.
O’Connor, who in IblO ran for con
gress on the labor ticket, it has been
charged and is generally believed, at
the expense of the* Guggenheim syn
Meate in '.he hope* of defeating Wic
kersham: f alcon Jo-Mu who for years
has been accused by Oe'ogato Wicker*
sham o*' being the representative of
the same syndicate in the Tatiana
Valley.
"The n' committee of the Xati n
al topv >»tt**<* gave \Tovsrs O’Connor
and Jos in a \ *ry fu and * areful
hearing and. una.nmousiy decided
aea.'n-’ them. *fh . <• was tak
en before the committee on credent
ials o* the National i uvention. This
committee was composed of fifty- !
three members, one from each of the
states and territories. New York’s
vote in it* was of the same weight as
that of Porto Rico,—no more, no less.
The committee on credentials heard
both .Mr. O’Connor and Mr. Jos! n at
great length. At the request of Mr.
v obb, who as managing the rentes'
fo»* the Kgular delegation, all out ’on
minutes of ids time was given U Jos
lin after he, Joslin, hud exhauster the
full time allotted to him. The com
mittee on credentials then decided
unanimously against the O’* nnor
Joslin Frame delegation; and thi;
was the only contest before the com
mittee that was decided unanimously.
"After tin* exposure of the frauds
and forgeries upon which O’Connor
and Joslin sought seats in the .\ jti' ri
al convention! one of which was the
name *f a dead man, they failed awa\
from Baltimore. Every man connect -
i ed with the prepetration of th w'*
frauds and forgeries, except John \V
Frame, would he glad to let the mat
! ter rest and he forgotten. Ib* of
i course, always feels aggrieved at the
miscarriage of any piece of skull
duggery, and is still wailing, lie
even has the effrontery to call a “Pro- j
| gressive Democratic” convention! If
; sitting up all night forging credent- '
: ials to a demo< ratio convention which -
| is to meet next day, constitutes “Pro- ;
| gressive Democracy,” then Frame’s j
j convention is correctly named, in the
call he has issued. The Democrats of
! \laska, however, know Frame; they
know O’Connor; and they know Jos
lin. It wid he interesting to see who
will attend the ‘convention’ ca’led or, j
the sole authority of John \V.
Frame.”
