A CLAIMOF FICAUD.
The Recent Hillof martin Laymanto be Contested.
There isnow every prospect of a spiritedcontest over the willof the late Martin l.ay-man, hied in the probate ottice some timeago, the principals being Mrs. Layman andMr.Layman's daughter, Mrs. LizzieHaley.In the probate court Mrs. Haley tiled papersyesterday protesting against the allowingof the will, for the following reasons:
First— That Martin Layman at the time thewillwas executed was not of sound mind andwas mentally Incapable of making any will,or disposing of his property In any manneror form whatever. Second— That he was in-duced to sign the alleged will by fraud andundue infUMMM was used upon him while Inan enfeebled state of mind byone Blceken andhis wife Etta, one Van ValUenberg ami hiswife Anna, orof some one or all of them.Third
—the alleged instrument is not the
willof tho said Martin Layman, because ofhis enfeebled mine and mental incapacity to!make a willand because of fraud aod undueiutluenoe used upon Mr.Layman in procur-ingthe execution of the alleged instrument.And inconclusion Mrs. Haley asks that theestate be administered, so far as sbe is con-cerned, as though ttiete whs no will.
Closiu? the Barber Shops.The barbers petitioned the council last
night to take measures to have all barber ishops closed on Sunday. Aid. Cloutiermoved to that effect, and Aid. Johnsonmoved to amend so as to include liquor andall other stores. Aid. Lawrence thoughtlivery stables should be exempt, and Aid.Downes said it would be impossible toaccomplish that proposed Jin the motion.The city attorney was called upon,and he recited the |state of affairs betweenthe barbers and the courts, and Aid. Clou-tier withdrew his motion.

'procure patent rights. The headquarterswill bo in Minneapolis. Annual meeting'sWillbe held on the flrst Tuesday of Octoberineach year.
Judge P.M. Babcock— Frank Mcade \u25a0is aharum-scarum sort of a fellow, good-hearted,but reckless. Twenty-two years ago he gotinto a row witha fellow ina saloon and theyfought off and on nearly all night.
-At one
time his property at Muudun was worth $40.---000. but 1suppose he has lost it all by thistime. He hud good ability as a newspaperman and was once cityeditor of the Tribune.lam sincerely sorry he has got into suchtrouble, for with all his faults he was a goodfellow at heart and meant well.
Aid.Cloutier was slightly behind the timesin his motion to request the wuter commis-sion to have all its work done by the day unclnot by contract. The water board has al-ready taken that action.
ASt. Paul paper gives an alleged interviewbetween Judge Doaabue and M. Dorau,which is extemely improbable. Itconcludesby saying Donahue invited Dorun to take adrink, which is still more improbable.
Aid.Johnson ottered to bet Aid. Clark $50last night that he (Jobuson) was in orderwhen he attempted to move an amendmenttoa motion whichbad been amended, but theoriginal motion as amended had not beenput. Tho bet was not completed, however,and the chair decided Aid. Johnson out oforder.
Judge Torrence—
is a great deal ofapathy among the Republicans this fall. Thefact is. wehave not recovered from the terri-ble whipping the Democrats gave us thisspring. Another reason is that no one hasyet been proposed for governor that producesthe slightest enthusiasm.

THE ANTI-SALOONISTS.A Mourners' Convention at Minneapolis—
What Must We Do to BeSaved?
Willie Windom Thinks Saloons are Awful,aud Deacon Nettletoa Agrees
WithHim.
Resolutions Passed and DelegatesNumed-The G. O. I*.Ina
Bad Fix.
A trains! tho Saloons.The anti-saloon Republican convention,
so called, that met at the West hotel yes-terday was composed of gentlemen whosechurchly appearance would command at-tention, ifnot respect. Those who werepresent, with but few exceptions, consti-tuted a personnel that would have been ex-pected at any church or temperance meet-ing. It has been a noticeable character-istic that temperance leaders are all orators,aud yesterday's convention was no excep-tion to the rule. In fact itwas seriouslyfeared that the supply of cheap talk wouldoverwhelm the meeting and prevent thetransaction of the business for which the con-ference had been called. The meeting wascalled to order at 1:30 o'clock. Hon. Will-iam Winaoin was made chairman by ac-clamation, and tThomas Cochran, of St.Paul, secretary. After an explanation ofthe purpose of the meeting letters of regretwere read by the secretary trmn Key. MeG.Dana, of St. Paul, Guv. W. K. Marshalland others. The letter of D. C. Bell sug-gested as apolicy that the conference shouldrecommend that no more open or secretalliance should bo made with the ruin-sellers. He urged that there should be a Ipersistent restriction of the liquor trafficthrough a resolute enforcement of tho ex-isting laws.
THE LETTER OP BISHOP IRELANDwas greeted with warm applause. Afterexpressing regret that an important busi-ness engagement prevented his presence,the writer said:Iwould have earnestly desired to be pres-
ent at the meeting of members of ma Repub-lican party who are anxious that the influenceami prestige of the party be thrown againstthe aggressiveness of the liquor men. Iap-pear inthe political arena only when highmoral questions are at stake. This is the caseto-day, The liquorinterest,!!! the boldness ofits attitude, la its expressed determination torespect no law and tomake all other interestssubservient toitself",is a most serious menaceagainst all that we hold dear aud sacred. Itis time indeed that the thoughtful Americancitizen should take heed and see whencesalvation may come. The Republican partyihas itiv its power to avert the danger by es-pousing openly the cause of temperance and
|of the supremacy of law. Inno more effec-itive way can it prove to the country that thetruest and wisest patriotism is found withinthe ranks aud beneath the segis of its princi-ples. May its leaders understand the oppor-tunityof the hour.
AS A STAKTEIi.Gen Lo Due offered the following resolu-
tions for adoption, which, however, werewithdrawn later:
Resolved, That we indorse the anti saloonmovojieut.
Kesolved, That a committee of three bo ap-pointed to name delegates from each congres-sioual district to the convention to meet inChicago.
Gen. A. B. Xettleton, who can be re-garded as the progenitor of the movementthat caused the calling of the meeting, wasthe first speaker. For a man whois knownto hold ultra views of an exceedingly pu-ritanical nature, he made a very conservativeaddress that occupied the attention of hislisteners tor about twenty minutes.
Ha took the ground that the saloon influ-ence should be a recognized factor in the pol-itics of the country. Itpresented itself beforethe Republican* with all the bluutuess andobstinacy ofa stone wall. The party bad threecourses to pursue. Itcould call for an alli-unco with liquorin sections whore the s&loooinfluence is stronjr, with temperaace peoplewhere temperance sentimeut prevails, or itcould come out and make a decided stand onewayor the other.The liquor traffichad changedin its character and now has the servicesof 2,000.000 men inthe United States. Ithadgone outside of supplying1a moderate de-mand for stimulants, aud to-day was au ag-gressive and a far-reaching influence for thecreation of drunkards by placing beforethe poor and overworked the temptation ofdrinking. It sought to become a dominantparty, and to-day we stood face to face witha pronunciamento to the effect that no manshall go into the Minnesota legislature inimi-cal to its interests. The liquormen are or-ganized law-breakers. Saloon-keepers notonly failed to observe the ordinances andlaws of tho state, but they were encouragedto do so by the wholesale dealers. Saloonshad become the recognized rendezvous of theei-iiniual classes. The anti-saloon movementwas plainlyexpedient without regard to themoral principles involved. The Republicanparty (included the majority of law-abiding-citizens who justly should expect that someattention should be paid to their demands.Itshould take a stand now, or clearly ignorean issue that is as plainas the sun in theheavens.
OTHER OPINIONS.Rev. W. M. Montgomery rose to remind
the convention that noparty can stand thatis not sustained by some moral issue.Thousands, he said, are driftingaway fromthe grand old party because it has no prin-ciple that awakens enthusiasm,
Rev. Talkgjersen, of Minneapolis, spokefor the Scandinavians, saying:
His nationality constituted oue-half of thevotes of the Republican party in the state. iThe Scandinavians had naturally become Re-publicans, because that party was the loyalparty. All the old issues had passed away.What issues existed between the Democraticand Republican parties to-day? The Republi-can party's protective policy had had theeffect of massing vast populations in cities,but as the parties stood, the tariff questionwas not au issue. The Republican partyshould embrace the opportunity given it, toarray itself on the side of a great principle ofright. Local option was too weak and un-certain. Practical prohibition was what was:wanted.
C. W. Johnson's political sagacity ledhim to make several pertinent suggestionsto the committee on resolutions, the princi-pal point of which was that the personallibertyof the citizen should not be infringedupon.
John If.Murdock, of Wabasha, was thenext speaker. He started offby proclaim-inghis allegiance to the Republican partyfor thirty years. The present position ofthe party he regarded as very much be-tween the devil and the deep sea.It; was impossible for it toretain the \u25a0 keepers and the earnesttemperance workers. Ifit indorsed theanti-saloon movement it would lose theliquor men and the Germans. Ifitdid not.itwould lose a large element that would gointo the Prohibition party. While the Re-publicans might uot be successful the firstyear, success wouldultimately crown theirefforts.
ELDER CHAFFEEnext arose and gave his experience. Hespoke of the Republican ship as leaking atboth ends. Liquor, like capital, is verysensitive. Show ths saloonkeepers evenindifference to their interests, and theywillgo. (Cries of "let 'em go.") "Iwant."cried the elder as he warmed up to the ini-portauce of the. occasion, "that our actionto-day shall be something more than milkand water. -Ifwe hadn't trimmed our sailsto catch the votes of all classes quite socarefully we wouldn'jt be meeting asmourners to-day over ignominious defeat."
DEACON HICHAKD CHUTEremarked that this was the anniversary ofPerry's victory on Lake Erie
—a most ap-
propriate time for the commencement of anew reform. The living issue of the dayis: What can we do to stop poor, blindhumanity from going to perdition? Theanti-saloon movement is of the highest pos-sible expediency.
KNOWS HOW IT18 HIMSELF.William Windom, the chairman and big
gun ofthe meeting, here stepped forwardand, after a few preliminary flourishes ofhis handkerchief, said:"I am not here a3 a mourner, nor as a
weeper at the death-bed of the Republicanparty. That party is yet alive and has thepower and the willto accomplish all reformsneeded by the people. Itmet slavery, pro-tected and imbedded in the constitution, anddcreated and abolished it. Itwill go to anyextent that tho people demand in this or anyother reform.-
"God bless you," fellow citizens, continuedthe Winona
'statesman . "Iyield to no man

Temperance. With this record to baolc me1wish to say that 1 am not here as a doctorattendant upon tbo ailments of the sick Bo-publican party, but to say what itshall do.Abraham Liucoln, the greatest mM.n thiscountry ever| produced [great applause],hesitated about sicrniug the proclamation «findopeudence. At first defeat seemed toperch upon our banners. Then came victoryafter victory. When Irepresented this statein the United States senate. Ineror asked,'•what do the people want?" »«r "what Isright?" being satisfied that if Idid wh« wasriirht the people would be satisfied. Pro-hibition may be right. The old Abolitionparty was absorbed by the Republicans bo-cause tho people saw that the latter partywas willinrto do something practicable andconservative towards the abolition of slavery.Now tbat wo have ma«io a movein tho rightdirectlon.will not the Prohibition element joinus and add their forces?
Mr. Windom here quoted from a speechdelivered by hi» July 4, announcing luhplatform to b« "Moral suasion, hi^ i li-cense, local option extended to cou, ties,aud the indefeasible right of the peopio Uiamend the constitution."
"Ihese," he added, "are my suggestion Inthe present state ofpublic sentiment fc> \u25a0 tuucurtailment of pauperism, misery aud irimecaused by'intempcrance."
Continuing, the great martyr of th;; l;c---publican party of Minnesota said:
"The greatest curse of the saloon is th vcorrupting effect upon politics. 1can spot. <with some littlefeelin* upon this point. Noman in congress, lam willingto ssy, cantake it stand against the liquor intercut with-out meetiag the meney and influence of tiesaloons at the next election. Iprevent* .1 a$15,U00,000 steal in '82 and you know the ion-seguences," added the ex-senator, with a bighof regret.
THOMAS COCHRAW, JK.,ofSt. Paul, added his voice to the assurancethat was given to the leaders of the movement.
He thought they were entirely within thelines of the Republican party, and whea theyhad a congressman (J. B. Gilfilian who wasin hearty sympathy, the clerk or' lUe UnitedStates senate aud a delegate to the state con-Ivention witb them they mightkuow tbat they
were all right. "Wo don't propose," hevehemently said, "tobe read out of tbo Re-publican party." The evils of intemperancecanuot be uxajrg-erated, but the worst featureis the tendency to anarchism aud communismthat is uniform l'roin the disregard of law.The great lesson of to-day is American citi-zenship.
ACONVERT CONFESSES.W. L.Kelly said he had been a Dem-
ocrat—
a Kentucky Democrat—
but hadsufficient of the grace of God inhis soul tojuin the Republican party iv war time. Hethought the question of expediency shouldnot be considered tor a moment; it wassimply a question of right.
Upon motion the chairman named thefollowingcommittee on resolutions: A. B.Nettlston, Minneapolis: Key. 8. G. Smith.St. Paul; C. H. Chadome and L. Osborne,Giyndon E. Lathrop, who reported asfollows:
Reserved, That this conference heartilyapproves the present anti-saloon movementwichin tbe Republican purty, and regards itas timely and expedient because right audnaceisary.

Upon the remonstrance of a colored gen-tleman the name of fiev. C. J. Jacobs, ofSt. Paul, was added to the delegation. Amotion to adjourn was then abruptly putand carried to head off further remarksfrom the loquacious individuals who seem-ingly desired the opportunity to shoot offlong-winded speeches on the temperancequestion. An idea of the significance ofthe action of the conference can be gainedby a perusal of the names of those inattendance.
