Tin Ih'inocratic war cry: Tp with
ugar and riif and down with salt and
jKiUtoes and wool."
Syitt's latent ambition is to carry Penn
sylvania for Cleveland m as to w in awat
in the Cabinet. lie is ready to iiend a
million for this purio.s.
Floppeks from the rty of free trade
to the arty of prutectina are so numer
ous in Home sections that only Uie office
holders are left iu the IkMnocratic party.
Let ltepulilicaiis everywhere carefully
look after the matter of registration and
awn-sKim-nt. No points aliould be lost in
this resjiect between now and September
;, which is the last date for attending to
it.
What do Mills and his crowd care for
Western farmers so long as Ixtuisiana and
ieorgia and South Carolina are fully
1-rotected in all their leading industries?
They vote right, and shoot the man that
don't,
Oeseual Hakkisos make a good
speech every day. The supply seems
never to give out ; but if it should, let
liim go back and say the same things
over again. They can hardly lie said too
often.
The Philadelphia Titnro, a little over a
year ago, said that free trade would fol
low free wool just as logically as a frog
follows a tadpole. It has now changed
its tune and says the Democratic party is
not for free trade.
Congressman Randall was safely re
moved from Washington to his home
Saturday, and latest advices are that he
is gradually improving. There is no
doubt, however, that he is yet in a very
precarious condidtion.
TiiEChambersburg Woolen Cin pany,
the only company of the kind in south
ern Pennsylvania, dosed their mills
Monday for an indefinite period. The
president of the company says that the
tms'icnsion is due to the passage of the
Mills bill and the ascendency of free
trade ideas.
The Iktnorratic rrt.v na" forced its
free trade measure through the House of
Ifi'iirpnentutives bv a maioritv of thirteen
and now the Republican Senator have
decided to frame a tarin" measure for dis
cussion in the Senate. The country w ill
liave plenty of opportunity to study the
merits of the two systems.
The Xational Executive Committee is
laving iu hands full in keeping up with
the demand for campaign literature and
information. Republican clubs are form
ing at the rate of two hundred a week.
The enthusiasm is tremendous, and be
fore the camaign is over there w ill lie
scenes that w ill remind old-timers of the
lays of 1S40.
It is announced that William Mahone
w ill run for Congress n the 4th Congres
sional District of Virginia, which has of
late years lieen giving a Republican ma
jority. This may be an indication that
Mahone is about to settle down to hard
work in this campaign. At any rate it
w ill give additional interest to the Repub
lican canvass in Virginia.
"It is the intention of the Republu-ans
f the Cnited States" ' tle Edinburx.
Scotland, SftttuMin, of July 14, "to fight
the election on the question of free trade.
The issue is, unfortunately, a false one.
A'lart from this question, British sympa
thies cannot fail to V on the aido of
President Cleveland. The Republicans
have chosen to ally themselves with the
declared enemies of this country."
Wool, men and woolen manufacturers
will go slow until they see w hether Ie
moctacy will hold the whip and the
reins. A great carpet factory in Lowell,
and another ii. Clinton, Massachusetts,
have dosed their doors to wait and see.
Three thousand oieratives are idle in
consequence. If tJmver Cleveland should
lie re-elected, and the Senate become
IVmocratic, grass will grow in the paths
leading to a thousand now busy manu
factories. Ex-OoveKNoit Cameron aud Col. Ijunb
iiave undertaken to effect a compromise
on the electoral ticket of the two Re
ublican factions in Virginia. It is to be
lioied they will succeed. With the party
in Virginia united and in thorough ac
cord, that State w ill lie fairly debatable,
witli the chances in favor of the Repub
licans. It would be fitting if the Repub
licans uf the "Old Dominion" should take
the initiative in verifying the prediction
f a distinguished Sou litem Democratic
Senator, that the South will never again
cm its undivided electoral vote for the
auie Presidential candidate.
By th action of the R'-pnWiean Coun
ty Convention of Cambria County, held
at Kbenslmrg last week, Uon. Edward
Scull was made the unanimous nominee
of the Republicans of this district for
re-election to Congress w ithout the for
mality of a district conference, the Ile
tubliaut eonvenliona of l'.lair, Red ford
and Somerset having previously dcclgn-d
their preference for Mr. Scull. Following
is the resolution adopted by the Cum
bria County Convention :
. Uetn!t ii. That lliu Reiblioan Conven
tions of Somer-t, IVdfor.l and l'.lair.
having declared their preference for the
Hon. Edward Scull for Congnssa, the l!e
publicans of Cambria do iinwt heartily
approve and endorse the course of lion.
Edward Scull while a meiuW of that
body and having full faith and eontidence
in his abiiitv and Intevrity, the repre
sentatives of the Republican party of
Cambria county, here assembled, do
hereby unanimously nominate the Hon.
Edward Scull as their candidate for Con
(rresw, dispensing with the formality of a
district conference.
Tn political changes that are going on
these days indicate that the ."American
people have put on their thinking caps.
The two parties having joined Issues on
the tariff qnertion it is but natural that
all protectionists fdiould support the Re
publican Xational ticket and that all w ho
favor reduction of the customs duties
of free trade should vote for the re-election
of Mr. Cleveland. There are a few
tariff men who are still shutting their
eyes tight and trying to cling to the
Democratic party because of old associa
tions and liecause they don't like to
change parties, but the discussions of the
next few months w ill go a long way to
ward convincing them that they cannot
afford to vote for free trade. And that is
w hat a vote for Mr. Cleveland means.
Not immediate free trade, we admit, but
a large reduction of duties with a view
to absolute free trade in the future.
The first Republican State Convention
held since the nomination of Harrison
and Morton convened at Tojieka Wed
nesday. It was a most uuspicious gath
ering, the attendance Wing not less than
C.,0.111. Does this look as if the Presiden
tial campaign before us was to lie apa
thetic? Is it not, rather, an indication
that 1S40 is to be repeated in enthusiasm
and success ?
In that State a nomination on the Re
publican ticket is equivalent to an elec
tion, and there wen fifty candidates for
the six offices to be lilliil. ireiit enthu
siasm for the Xational ticket prevailed.
Kansas wanted Maine, but was satisfied
w ith Harrison from thetirst, and by this
time there has no doubt come to lie a
conviction that Mr. Maine can bo of
more service to the party as a private cit
iwn than he could as a candidate. The
largeness of the attendance at theToM-ka
convention certainly showed that the
situation is highly gratifying in that
stronghold of Republicanism. In one
sense this may lie unimportant. Any
body, it might Ik- said, "could curry Kan
sas." Very likely, but it mu-t be remein-
liered that Kansas Republicans are like
the Republicans of the really close 1
Suites, only there are more of them in
proportion to (population. The last State
election licforc the Chicago Convention
lYegon ami the first State Republi
can convention ufter that convention
point in the same direction. They unite
in bidding the party everywhere be of
good cheer.
A View From the South.
From the Ixsiin ille Courier Joim:il.
Chairman Juay has gone to work. It
the Iiemocrats bear in mind that Mr. tjuay
hails from a state where the roofs are stolen
from the almhoues. He will stay awake
throughout the cainaigii and make us trou
ble wherever he is not watched.

The Calvanlstic Vote.
From the Baltimore Aineriian.
0 rover Cleveland, Democratic candidate
for the Presidency, is the son of a Presbyte
rian clergyman. Allen ;. Thurman, ditto,
for the Vice Presidency, is the son of a Meth
odist clergyman. Benjamin Harrison, Re
publican candidate for the Presidency, is the
son-in-law ofa Presbyterian clcnry man. lvi
P. Morton, ditto for the Vice Presidemy, is
the son of a Congregational clergyman. 'al
vin S. Brice, chairman of the Democratic
executive committee, iu charge of the cam
pai'n, is the son of a Presbyterian clergy
man. Matthew Stanley tjuay, Chairman of
the Republican national committee, is-also
the son ofa Presbyterian clergyman, which,
with the fact that Gen. Harri-oti is an elder
of the Presbyterau church hiiun '.f. ought to
get out the Calvanistic vote at the coming
election.
Cheap Whisky Babble.
Miner Jtr,ial: Suppose we analyze this
"cheap whisky and dear clothes" babble by
the test of facts and figures, and sec which
party can best stand the showing: When
the Democratic patty went out of power in
the Government, after forty years of unin
terrupted control, m hisky was : cents a gal
lon, and from 3 to T cents a drink, while cot
ton prints were from to ;' cents a yard.
There is no need of hunting up any records
to prove this, because there are thousand of
men and women all over the country who
know it ol their own knowledge. I'nder the
control of the Republican party the price of
whisky has gone up to from 1 to So a gallon
and from 10 to 20 cents a drink, while the
price of cotton prints has iwne down to
from 3 to 0 cents a yard. There never was
a day in the whole long eriod of Democrat
ic rule when the price of a day's work would
hny as much raiment or as little nun as
now. and in spite of all the shallow free
trade kibble the whole world knows that
this is the fact aud that the credit is due to
the Republican iarty that it is so.
Five Reasons.
' I1ea.sc give me five g.t rex!i why a man
should I a bcpuMicau," tav a eurnmu'lt-nt
From the Sew York Trihuae.
1. IttTiitise there is everything in the rec-"'
on! of the Republican lurtv of which he
may be proud, and nothing of which be
will need to be ashamed. It saved the Union,
emancipated the slaves, restored specie pay
ments, and rcduivd the national debt one
half. I'niike the IV-tuocratic nirty, it has
never been in alliance with slave-owners and
the rum power; it never pronounced the
war for the I'nion a failure and sued for a
rraven ;jce; aud it lias never arrayed itself
against the princqiles uf Louest finance
and national honor.
2. Because Republicanism does not stand
fortlie suppression ofa single Democratic
vote in any State of the I'nion. In every
Republican State IVm;xrat are free to
vote as they please, and their lull, its are
counted as they are cast. Iiemoeracy stands
for the suppression of Republican votes by
intimidation, crime and fraud in every State
formerly in retsWlioo.
3. Because the Republican party in its tar
iff legislation laid the foundations of a nat
ional proiprity unexampled in modern
times, and defends the cause of American
industry to-day against the combined attack
of English manufacturers snd Free Trade
IVmocraiy, The solid south in the Confed
erate Constitution pronounced for Free Trade
precisely as the party of Buchanan, Bnvk
enridgeand IVniglass had done before the
war, and as the party of Tilden, Hancock
and Cleveland has done since. Republi
canism is the cause of industrial independ
ence. 4. Recuse the Republican party is Ameri
can in its sympathies an J its policy believes
in governing at.d developing America for
the benefit of Americans, and would neither
order iu tariff policy for the accom
modation and profit of foreigners, nor
tower (lie country in the estimation of the
world by surrendering American rights or
compromising American honor tlxough pa
sillauimous diplomacy. The Democratic
party is eipally un-American in ita foreign
anl il ihvmwti poliry. -
5. Because the Republican parly is recruit
ed from tlic more ititcllitrent and progressive
elements of American pojsilatton, and is the
onraniiation in which all friends of civil ser
vice reform, practical temperance legislation,
or of any 01 !ier movement in the direction
(t pssl (.-nvrrniuwU, naturally belong. The
IVinocratic party init I opitabte to any
r-a! ilirm in pvenim-nt. an the civil ser
vice reformers have learned to their shame.
PRESS COMMENTS
Knoxville J1mr1.nl: Mr. Cleveland says he
ii n.-l a free tradT. The leipir.l might say
he is not spotted, but, no one, except a blind
man. who would believe it.
Washington Qavtit : Not a single old sol
dier iu the country willaat a ballot to make
Vice President a raan who wrote that plank
in the IVinocrtic platform of 1831 delating
the war a failure.
Itronklyn Stivulard- I'hum : Why is the red
bandana like the anarchist flag? Not because
they arc lolh red. but lecaase the triumph
of either would bring anan;hy and ruin to
American manufactures.
Burlington liuokejt: The Grand Army of
the Republic has received a special order
from Cdiiuuander-iu-chief Rai to keep out
of polities. There is nothing in the order,
however, forbidding the veterans to " vote as
they shot."
C'iiugo IiilcrOroui : If Congressman Mc
Kinley has to vifit Georgia, the druggists in
that section would do well to have a large
stis-k of medicine " g'Ksl for fits." Even the
talk of his going has produced a shudder
bordering on gjiasnis.
Nebraska J'wmd: Reduction of taxes upon
necessities i a fine canqiaign cry, but its hol
lowness, as coming Irom the Democrats, is
illustrated by their solidly voting to increase
the duty u;ou that jrreal article of food, rice.
Uice happen to be an exclusively Sothern
product, so far as this country is concern
ed. M:imeaio!is Triliune:
Baa, baa. black sheep.
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir; dear sir,
Two bags lull.
One for Bill McKinlcy, and one that Roed
will take.
But none for Kiger Mills, who makes my
oor back ache.
Pittsburg L)linlt k : The tarirT which pro
tects the manulacturur protects the tirmer.
It creates an army of laborers who must be
led and enablo the producer to find u ready
sale and get good prices for wliat he raises. A
reduction of the laborer's wages means a re
duction of the prices of farm products. The
farmer knows this aud cannot be persuaded
that fr"C trade would be a good thing for
him.
Philadelphia Xorth Ainrnnn: It Is safe to
say tlmt the eight month's st niggle over the
Mills bill has secured a twelve month's pause
in the lalior market. It may have done more
but it has at luat done that, and the puqiosc
of the real iower hehiud that measure has in
so much leeii achieved. The struggle has
been in the nature of a promise to the South
tliat if coiiliuiK'd iu pjwer the Democrats
will liually restoie the status quo and leave
the South ill the hamU of the old regime.
Altoona Tribune: A number of Gentlemen
of this city w ho voted for Cleveland in 1SS4
support Harrison and Morton. We have not
heard of a single Republican who voted for
lshinchois for Cleveland now. Throughout
the country while the Democrats are receiv
ing the :ulhens:on of those Republicans who
are oppi-cd to protection, the los of the Re
publican party is made good ten times over
l.y the withdrawal from their irty of thous
ands of IH-mocrals whoare in favor ofa high
tarill".
Doston Junrwtl : Somehow, sine the Lou
don 7Vi and the Stlnrilit:i .' irw came out
sooi-nly for Cleveland and the Democratic
party, we hear very little said about that
alleged apprehension of the British manu
facturers h-st we should discard our tariff
and commie with them in the " markets of
the world." The man who lirxt declared
that the British " feared nothing so much as
that this country would throw off the gyves
of protection" was an able and audacious
liar, but he is now eonfunded out of the
mouths of his ow n British friends.
Cleveland's Anti-Labor Record.
The only record that Grover Cleveland has
on the lalsir question is hostile to working
men. Neither as Governor of New Vork nor
J as President has he ever shown the slightest
interest in or sympathy with labor or lalKir
ing men. Two or three, of his acts may be
cited.
The pilots in New York Harlior are a
brave hardy and hsrd worked set of men.
Their vocation is dangerous. They go far
out to sea iu light sailing crafi, in all
kin. Is of weather, to meet and pilot ocean
steamers, and large vessels into harbor.
Their fees are regulated by law. Cleveland,
when Governor of New Vork, recommend
ed that they lie reduced. In a message to
the Legislature he said: " It is the duty of
the Legislature, in the interest of the State,
to reduce the wages of of pilots in New York
so that they will no lie higher than at foreign
ports." Why should fees of American
pilots he reguiated by the foreign standard ?
That was the same spirit that would reduce
the wages of all American labor to the for
eign scale.
Again, when the New York Legislature
passed a bill iu the interest of street car
drivers, reducing their working hours from
seventeen to twelve hours a d.iy, Gjv
emor Cleveland vetoed it saying : "I fail to
uec any good to be accomplished by the bill ;
besides, if the Legislature reduces the w ork
ing hours it ought to provide for the reduc
tion of wages, which it has failed to do."
Not much sympathy wilh overworked men
in thnt. Twelve hours a day Is too much
for any man to work, day in and day out. and
seventeen hours is outrageous. Governor
Cleveland could see no good to be accom
plished by the bill. His veto was in the in
interest of the company.
Again, the New York Lftgithiture msed a
bill to reduce the fare on the New York ele
vated Mads to five cents, a measure plainly
in the interest of the public, and esiwrially
of workiugincn. Governor Cleveland vetoed
it on the ground that it was a "violation of
vested r.ghts a legal cnesinui mat
! serves when everything else fails.
Mr. Cleveland is on record as absolutely
devoid of sympathy for workingnn n.
Denies the Charge.
Nkw Youk, July 20. An article printed
here yesterday charged that Levi P. Morton
has imported contract labor at wages below
those paid here. It gives a list including
two undcrgardeners, two grooms, two foot
men aud six female servants. One of the
gardeners says : " 1 don't remember wliat
the exact wording of the contract wxs, but
irt of it read like this : 'We, the under
signed, hereby agree to give our services as
undcrgardeners to I;vi P. Morton for the
-rio,l of two. years, beginning March 1,
ls.-w.
"The wtiges $34 and SO were mentioned,
and Mr. Morton agreed to pay all expenses
and passage, money out. This is the last
that either of us saw of the contract, for Mr.
Morton stuck it in his picket and said ev
erything would lie all right. We did not see
im agaia until May. when he returned
from Europe. He provided us wilh passage
tickets, and we came over in the Fgyit,
which arrived here about the end of Feb
ruary." Mr. Morton when asked about the case
laughed at the charge, and said that (here
was absolutely nothing in it. He said it was
merely a commonplace campaign lie, and
would die of inanition.
Democratic Chairman Resigns.
JtMEs-rowx. N. Y., July 27. VedderC.
Reynolds, Chairman of the IVrnncratic
County Committee in Cattaraugus, is out in
an interview in which he says he will resign
his position. He w ill then stump his dis
trict for Harrison and Morton. He says he
cannot ask his friends to support free trade
candidates on a free trade platlonu.
HARRISON ON THE SURPLUS.
He Points Out the. Way It Should
ta Reduced.
IstHAS VPoi.ts, IsD., July 28. The Repub
licans of Jennings County came up to call
on General Harrison to-day. 5 The excursion
was one that was gotten upaince Tuesday,
when most of the farmers:r the neighbor
hood were at work in the harvest field.
Still, there were Son of the visitors, and Ihey
filled a train of eleven cars. They reached
the city about noon, and were at twice receiv
ed by the General at Cnivnrsity Park. When
the General had concluded his address they,
as other delegations have done, tiled by the
stand and shook hands with the him. There
were a number of IslO voters in the crowd,
as well at a food sprinkling of colored men.
Several of the visitors' banners were sng
gestive, sjfc h as "No maggoty butter," "No
suppm- vote," "No tissue ballot,""A
fair vote and an honest count," and "Jen
nings County io1) majority for Harrison."
The tieneral spoke as follows : " You have
said to mc that you are in favor of a freeand
equal ballot the country over. We are so re
lated in our government that any distur
bance of the suffrage anywhere ui.-ectly af
fects us all. Our members of Congress jiass
upon questions that are as wide as the do
main over which our flag floats. Therefore
our interest in the choice of these represen
tatives is not limited to our own district. If
the debate upon public questions is to be of
value the voter must be free to register his
conclusions. The tribunal which is to pro
nounce uwn the argument must not be
coerced.
" You said to me that you favor the doc
trine of protection. The Republican party
stands for the principle of protection. We
believe in the preservation of the American
market for our American producers and
workmen. (Applause and cries of 'That's
it') We believe that the development of
home manufactures tends directly to pro
mote the interests of agriculture by furnish
ing a home market for the products of the
farm, and thus emancipating our farmers
from the transjiortation charges which they
must luy when their products seek distant
markets. Applause. We are confronted
now with a trcasuay surplus. Our iHisition
is exceptional. We are not seeking, as many
other nations are, new subjects of taxation,
new sources of revenue. Our quest is now
how wisely to reduce our national revenue.
The attempt has been made to use this sur
plus as a lever to overthrow the protective
system. The promoters of this scheme,
while professing a desire to diminish the
surplus, have acted as if their was purpose to
increase it iu jiart by opjiosing necessary and
legitimate appropriations. I agree that there
is danger that a surplus may promote, ex
travagance, but I do find myself in sympa
thy with that policy that denies the appro
priation necessary for the pnqier defense of
our jieople, and for the convenient adminis
tration of our public affairs throughout the
country in order that the threat of a surplus
may be used for a sinister pur;io.se. I lieiicve
that in reducing our revenues to the level of
our needful and proper exjictiditurcs we rati
and should continue to favor and protect
our own interests. I. do not like to. trust this
work to those who declare protective duties
to be vicious, 'legalized robbery.' The Re
publican party has, by its legislation, shown
its capacity wisely to reduce our revenues
and at the same time to preserve the Ameri
can system. Applause. It can lie trusted
to do the work that remains and to do it
wisely. Applause.
The coining wttk w ill be noticeable for
almost as many receptions as that just clos
ed. The first date belongs to Henry County,
the Republicans of which are coming over
in force Tuesday. The next day Morgan
County will come in with a large delegation,
and on the third I he llepuhlicans of Frank
fort are expected. And on the same day the
Montgomery County Jieople will lie here.
They have determined to make this the
largest delegation that has yet visited the
city. Saturday will be given over to the
miners from the Duggeraud Island City coal
tichls and the railroad men from Terre
Haute. Both delegations will be large, but
the latter will not come until evening, reach
ing here about 7:30 o'clock on a train fur
nished by President MeKeen of the Vauda
Ha. The week following Evansviile is to send
up a large delegation, and that week is the
one for the Suite Convention, whiclf will lie
the largest ever held iu the State. General
Harrison insists that week he be relic vis 1
from visiting delegations, as in addition to
the State Convention he wants to devote it
to the preparation of his letter of acecptan ce.
The Tariff In the Senate.
W.vsiiinotoX, July 3i. The decision
reached by the conference of Republican
Senators at Mr. Evarts's house last night
was the result of canTa! consideration afier
a free expression of opinion by marly every
one present. With the exception of a single
Senator, all were in favor of the plan adopt
ed, and that one tel'iow readily yielded to the
judgment of the majority. Such marked
unanimity is regarded as indicative of a
prompt report of the new bill to the Senate,
The outlines of the measure will follow
closely the principles laid down in the plat
form adopted by the Chicago Convention.
It will be a thoroughly protective meiw
nre. It will reduce the revenue! ah ut $71,
OHIO U. It will au.'ouiplish this by a cut in
the sugar duties of .V) ier cent, by removing
the Internal Revenue tax on alcohol aud
spirits used in the manufactures and arts, and
by partially alxilishing the Interna! Revenue
tax on tobacco. In addition to this, it will
revise the different schedules, increasing du
ties where absolute protection is necessary,
but reduce them wherever it can be done
with safety and without prejudice to Ameri
can industries. The fact that the R 'publican
party has never shirked au issue and has al
ways pursued an alii rin itive and aggressive
pulicy was ptobabiy the chief m.itivc
for the course adopted by the con
ference lost night. It Is a cnmplite an
swer to the taunts and jeers which Demo
crats have thing at the Republican majority
iu the Senate for the last few days, that they
dare not formulate a measure of their own
or do anything further than pursue a policy
of obstruction and assume au attitude of ne
gation. The more immediate effect of the decision
reached by the Republican Senators is heard
in the talk of a session prolonged into Sep
tember, and possibly Octolier. This is mere
ly speculation, however, and not borne out
by the unanimity with which Republicans
will support the measure, and which fore
shadows a prompt disposition of the bill 011
the part of the Senate. The inevitable de
lay in bringing the session to a close is due
to the policy of procrastination pursued by
the Democratic House, and if the Senate, in
order to consider so important a measure as
a tariff bill with care must consume, say a
month more, some compensation for this
fact may be found in the thought that a
measure and a policy will have been formu
lated which must inspire the industries of
the country with a renewed confidence in
the thoroughly patriotic policy of the Re
publican party of protection and encourage

Negro Delegates at Var.
IsiiiAMAroLU, July 2fi. The negro Demo
cratic conference, of which J. Milton Turner
was at the head at the call met at (lie Hen
dricks club room with 64 delegates present
and 3o or 40 scta(ors from this city. Tur
ner called the meeting to order and suggest
ed an executive session until an organization
was effected. A wrangle ensued as to the
powr of a committee to Sirm s tenqiorary
organization but Turner ruled it in order.
He said in surrendering the cliairthat Cleve
Ianif election hail brought ioliticai inde
iendence to the negro, and that this meeting
would settle the nepro question. Charles
IjSbelton. of Rransville, Indiana, au anti-
Turner man, was tenqsirary chairman, and
Noah Plummer, of Massachusetts, a Turner
advocate, temporary secretery. From that
out It was a fight over the committee on per
manent organization. The chairman coild
not preserve onto, but Prof. Peter Clark, of
Cincinnati, got a hearing and the committee
was announced.
At the afternoon session the fight was live
ly. The majority report of the permanent
organization committee recommended Prof.
1'eter H. Clark, of Ohio, forpermanentchair
aian, T. Thomas Fortune, of New York, per
manent secretary, and E. A. Payne, of Illi
nois, sergeant-at-arms. The minority report
named J. Milton Turner for permanent
chairman. The motion to substitute the mi
nority for the majority rejiort brought two
thirds of the delegates to their feet, and n
demoniuia reigned. The chairman finally
recognized a large number of delegates, who
vehemently advocated either Clark or Tur
ner. C. H. J. Taylor, of Kansas City, ex-minister
to Liberia, strongly urged the election of
Clark, declaring the new converts to IVmoc
racy should not be put in chargeof the ship.
He characterized Prof. Clark as the "noblest
negro Roman of them all." Great confusion
again prevailed. Turner finally obtained the
tl.Hir, and replying to Taylor called him a
national buffoon, which threw the confer
edce into a state of excitement.
Finally debate was closed aud the roll of
states called on the chairmanship. Secretary
Plummer finally announced that the vote
was Clark 32, Turner 32. This precipitated
the tight and Plummer was surrounded, the
delegates crying "thief," "robber," "yon
lie." The Turner men were most bitter and
finally Scott, a Cairo editor, defending Plum
mer. was struck and pulled his revolver on
Mail Agent Ogleby, of Columbus. A general
row followed and a colored Republican po
licvinan entered and arrested Scott and Ogle
by, but released them. The chairman said
that Plummcr's figures were wrong and de
clared Clark elected, and the meeting ad
journed in disorder. A large mass meeting
was held at night. A warrant is out. for
Ogleby, w ho has lied.
Imuanapims, Ix;i., July 2li. Conqiarcd
with its proceeding of yesterday, the color
ed Democrats had a quiet time of it to-day,
and, although the debates were at times acri
monious, they did not reach the riotous
stage. Before the business of the morning
began some of the peaceable ones iu author
ity sent to police headquarters for au oflieer
or two. The suierititeiidcnt detailed a ser
geant and a patrolman, and, putting them
I under control of Chairman Sheldon, all dan
ger of a repetition of the scenes of yesterday
was avoided. Peter II. Clark, of Cincinnati,
then took the chair as the ermiinent pre
siding oflieer, and delivered a long address.
J. Milton Turner acknowledged his defeat
and submitted to the organization. He then
moved the appointment ofa committee,
which prevailed, to prepare an addrces set
ting forth the political views of the men
cnninsing the convention. Among the del
egates who wen appointed members of the
committee were two or three Federal iifllcc
holders. There was a strong objection to the
convention going before the country with
the address signis.! by any such Iileu, and
then the names of the objectionable pit.ple
were dropped. It was afterwards determined
to consolidate the committee on resolutions
and on address.
The committee un resolutions then report
ed au indorsement of Cleveland; declared
sympathy for In land, and declaring that the
Republican party should not ask for the
votes of the colored men, "when the colored
men and women in the North as well as in
the South, almost are alisolutely barred from
the manufactories, which receive the chief
benefits from the protective system." The
rcfiort was adopted.
Turner made au effort to be appointed
chairman of the committee but failed. The
convention then adjourned.
Governor Porter Declines.
IxtiiAXAPoi.ts, July 2!'. Hon. A. G. Por
ter has rcaftirined his determination to not
accept the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor of Indiana, much to the disappoint
ment of many members of his party, who
were hopeful that he could he prevailed 011
to make the race. In fact, withiu the last
few days he had so lar yielded t' the pipu
lar demand as to say that he would probably
accept the nomination if it should he given
unanimously. Col. Robertson, one of the
leading candidates far the honor, declared
that he would not permit the nomination tu
go to Porter by acclamation, and an attempt
was made to show that the ex-Governor was
acting in bad faith. It was this that caused
Governor Porter to at once declare that tin
der un circuuiktaiuc w.iuld he now acrt the
nomination. His determination has caused
a decided political sensation, as his nomina
tion was looked upon as definitely settled.
At the primary election, held last night,
the delegates 111 many wards were instructed
to vote for him. while previously 22 coun
ties had adopted resolutions expressing the
desire that he should make the nice, a thing
that has generally been regarded as nothing
I less than a pilitical necessity. The men
seeking the nomination are Lieutenant-Governor
Robertson, Warren G. Sayre. Speaker
of the Indiana House of Representatives, J.
N. Huston, Ciiaiimaii of the State Central
Committee, Congressman Steele and Will
CumUu k, while Gen. L-.-w Wallace has also
been proposed.
Away From Washington.
Wvsiinomx. July 2N. Mr. Randall and
his family left Washington this morning for
their country home at Wayne station, Pa.,
in the hope that fresh country air will have
theell(t of increasing the patient's strength.
Mr. Ramlall was taken to the station in a
close carriage, the blinds of which were
closely drawn. He was accompanied by Dr.
Mallan, who will attend him to his home,
where Dr. Martin (who was unable on ac
count of professional ni"agenens to accom
pany the patient) will take chare of the
case. While Mr. Randall was feeble this
morning, owing to the unusual exertions
consequent on his removal, his family is
well pleased with the continued improve
ment in his condition.
A Philadelphia dispatch says: Hon. Sam
uel J Randall arrived at Wayne station from
Washington at 1:27 this afternoon in Presi
dent Rolerts' private car. which was attach
ed to the 12: 4. Paoli accommodation from
the Broad street station of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. The train arrived on time. At
the station Mrs. J. Bellano Coxe, at whose
house at Castenea Mr. Randall is to be cared
for, was in waiting with a large old-fashioned,
comfortable barouche, built several years
ago for her mother, who was an invalid.
There were pillows provided for theeae and
comfort of the sick man. Two other car
riages were also at hand for Mr. ltandall's
family and the few friends who occoman
ied them from the National Capital.
Cameron's Quick Work.
Wasiiisotos, D. C July 25. Senator

Senate to-day. He introduced a bill appro
priating $7'i,AX) for a public building at Al
lcnlown, Pa., had it referred to the commit
tee, reported back immediately and proni
ly passed.
The whole procedure took but fifteen min
utes. The bill is similar in all respects to
the one offered but a day ago iu the House
by Congressman Sowden, and differs from
the one vetoed by the President only as to
the amount appropriated, which has been
cut down to $70,000.

though there have been titnra during the last
two weeks when every breeze was expected
to bring the cr.u k of the Winchester and
when hundreds of u&ies Ihuiifht they had
seen sunshine for the last time. But, per
haps, it is too early for congratulations.
TheCircuit Court is presided over by Judge
Riddick. a whiteman and a Democrat. One
afternoon Judge Kid lick received a request
for the use of the loom immediately upon
adjournment, and not having the slightest
idea he suy. of the purpose for which the
plate was wanted, he granted the requ-st,
and adjourned court. Tiie colore..! clerk was
asked to step dowu stairs and write up his
docket away froui t'ne court room, as the
meeting was to lie with closed doors. The
white men met. There was some talking and
considerable applause. The next morning
there were 150 white men in the county scat.
They came from all irts of the county,
and every man carried his Wincester rille or
his revolver. Before twenty-four hours (Kiss

Ten other negroes were driven out whose
names are not given. Ferguson had bought
pni-rty in Marion, but it was in his wile's
name. S'ie is still here. It will seem to
some a striking confidence that the chosen
leader of the white men who exiled Fergu
son was the former owner ol the property
which the County Clerk had bought. This
while man had thought well enough of Fer
guson at one time to let him have the prop
erty at one-half what lie was u liens!
for it by others. Ferguson has been apoliti
cal leader in the county for many years. He
came here from Ohio, having received his
education in the Cincinnati High School.
His account of his departure, as he told it
after getting out of the county, is as follows .
" I was at work in the Court House on
Thursday morning, when in stepjied eighty
while men armed with Winchesters. They
said: 'Ferguson, this county is too small
for you and us. Which of us will remain?
You'll have to leave. If you don't, we hope
you'll go to heaven.' I replied : 'Gentlemen,
I am the Clerk of this county. I'm under
bond and must protect my bondsmen, who
are all white men. While the men were in
the office my bondsmen, who arc all white
men, held aconsullation. They said: 'Dave,
what are you to di? We are your Iriends,
and will stand by yon.' I replied: 'Gen
tlemen, I will leave. The court is in session.
The grand and petit jurors are impaiii-lled
and every thing is in readiness to hold the
July term of court. Who is going to bo re
siKinsible? Who is my successor'?'
" I returned to my oftice.and with seventy
five Winchesters liashiiijj iu my faie, I was
ordered tu copy and sign a resignation, which
they ha 1 already written a very unpleas
ant task, and not the safest place ill
the world to jerform the duty. After I
signed the resignation I was escorted to the
train by I don't know how many white men
w ho told me to git, and I got."
Blood on the Border.
I.iiikrvl. Ks., Jnly 2!). In formation
reached here to-day of a terrible encounter
between Hiigoton and Woodsdn!e men in
Stevens county, whereby no less than seven
men lost their lives. James Gerrard, Deputy
Slieriii' of Stevens county, gives the following
account of the affair. A warrant had ix-en
issaed to Kd Short, Constable and City Mar
shal of WootDdale, f ir the arrest of S nil
Robhinson. Robinson had gone to the neu
tral strip, and El Short, William Hausloy
and Dick Wilson went after him. They
found him in a dugout and ordered him to
surrender. Hi said he would never surren
der to E 1 Short. E 1 told him he could get
as many men aj he wished from the strip to
go with hi in to the State ; Kansas). Robin
son did not surrender, but got on his horse
and made a run of six or seven miles to the
Beaver river where he got a fresh horse and
soon distanced the boys, who then give up
the chase.
Sheriff Cross, hearing that Short and his
posse had been corraled d iwn in the Strip,
started with four men for their relief, but
they could not find them, so started back up
the trail and went into camp. While they
were asleep a Hiigoton party surprised and
disarmed them, nil le them stand up in line
ami shot them, killing four aud wounding
one.
The deputy sheriff did not give any names
besides those mentioned atiove, but G. S.
Toby said the four killed were Sheriff John
Cross, Robert Hubbard, C. W. Elton, and
R. Wilcox, and that Herbert Toby was
wounded, He also said that there might be
one or two more killed, and that he heard
Herbert Reed was wounded but could not
say how he got hurt. There must have been
shouting besides the alsive affray, for a boy
named Nathan Jones, who was on his return
from Stevens county to Liberal, states that
he pissed near two squads who were firing
at each other.
The latest report that came in is that 11
men hare been killed. So fur reports are
very contradictory and many of them unre
liable, but there is no doubt that Stevens
county ieople are in a terrible slate of ex
citement and that more shooting may be ex
pected. A Mormon Miracle.
Salem, Va., July 2'. The Mormons have
been making converts here by an alleged
miracle. A small farmer hail an old horse
that was ill and nigh unto death, and his
whole family bad made every effort known
to their skill to restore him, but in vain.
About sundown one day, however, when
all hopes had well nigh vanished, the miracle-working
Mormons appeared. Seeing the
bnite's condition they gently laid their
hands on him and bade him arise, which
the horse did with agility, and was so lively
from that time that he came near running
oyer his owner that evening in the yard.
Six Dnys In Well Without Food.
On au , July 2S.-Jnhn Anders, .n has pass
ed the ninth day in the well at Johnstown.
Nebraska. F.ssl ond water have been given
him regularly, and he is gradually growing
stronger. The rescuers work as rapidly as
circumstances will permit in removing the
earth from alwve him. This ha been done
with the utmost caution, ss'the displacing of
one boanl or the giving away of any part of
the earth on which his frail platform rests is
liable to precipitate An person to the bottom
of the well. 101 feet below. The cold curb
ing is about ail that is covering him now.
This has for mis 1 into the roof of the box in
which he is, and at him from the top
a hole must ls cut iu this roof. An effort
was made to saw through this roof, but it
was aliandoned, as the sand began to cave in
and Anderson's platform sank two inches.
The greatest hoi of his resetic now is on
account of the fact that tools have been pars
ed in to him ond he works as hard as his
strength will permit in bracing the platform.
The danger of gorghig Limsclf after his long
fast is now post, and he eats with relish and
avidity all the food that is passed injto him.
At six o'clock last Thursday evening John
Anderson, of Johnstown, was still in the
well. Last night he had a chill and com
plained of feeling co d, but by rubbing his
limbs and getting circulation started he soon
rallied. The new well is down M feet, and
the diggers are at work tunneling to the old
well. They tlink they will strike in about
three feet below theuian. From this tunnel
they aim to let the boards extend out nearly
across the old well so as to form a platform.
Anderson says that if they do this he can
come to them. The great danger will be
that when they strike the old well it may
give way and let sand in on the man and
smother liim instantly. They talk with him
frequently, and he gives them his views as
to the best way to work. Yesterday he ask
ed about his stock and wanted to knosr who
was attending them. When asked if he
would like to have them try to get a pipe and
food and water in the old well, his answer
was " No." He said it was too risky, and
he was unwilling to take such chances for a
few luxuries, At ten o'clock the diggers
were frightened out of the new well just as
they were about to reach the old one. An
derson told them that his hours were getting
short and if they rescued him it must lie
done soon. Hearing this. Archer, as a last
resort, went into the old well and begun
working again. He soon discovered that
there was only twenty-sx inches of sand and
boarls to go through. After getting the sand
away he raised one board and gave Anderson
food and water, the first he has had for six
days. The first thing given him was a wet
rag, then a bottle of water, and after that a
hard biscuit. Anderson said that the wet rag
was the best thing he ha! tasted in his life.
They then let a rope down to him and he
tied it around his waist, but they concluded
to wait for daylight before doing anything
more.
On mm. Neb., July 20 John Anderson,
was rescued yesterday. Si intense has been
the excitement and sympathy for the un
fortunate man that business of all kinds was
very much neglected. Fanners left their
fields and merchants their stores and flock
ed to the scene of the accident, offering to
lend a helping hand. The women show ed
their willingness to help also by cooking and
sending food to the workers.
Although the rescuing party did all in its
power Anderson would never have been
saved but for his own efforts. He planned
and directed the work of the last two days,
and all the while he was imprisoned never
was heard to utter a complaint. In three
days alter the man was entombed everyone
was so conlident that he was dead that the
Coroner was summoned, a coffin brought !o
the well, and the Odd Fellows made prepa
rations N bury him. At daylight yesterday
morning the work uf rescuing Anderson was
res umtd wilh renewed courage and deter
mination. A small box 18 inches long and
10 by 11 inches square, open at both ends
aud thoroughly soaked inside, was lowered
to the lsianls that were protecting him.
When a hole was ma le large enough the
box was slipped through. At ID A. M. An
derson, after pulling off ail his clothing, tied
a rojie around under his arms, and, holding
his hands straight above his bead, was pull
ed through Hie box and released from his
prison.
Although show ing the effect of his acci
dent he does not look so emaciated as was
expected. After Anderson was taken into
the house the crowd gave three cheers for
Henry Archer uud George Campbell, the
men who took him from the Weil. These
men were so overcome with fatigue and joy
that when the crowd began congratulating
them they wept like children.
Women Who Know How to Fight.
Mrs. Fiery, of Lemout, Fayette County,
and the Misses Scott, of Fairchance, indulged
iu a vicious rough-and-tumble tight on the
Lemont station platform Wednesday even
ing. Mrs. Fiery was badly worsted. Her
faic was severely pummehd. Her eyes were
pounded shut, nearly al' her hair torn out,
and her nose was thought to have been bro
ken. The Fairchance women were not bad
ly marked.
Mrs. I'lery is a famous fighter, but had
never been whipped, although she fought
many a battle. On Monday afternoon she
met, quarreled with, and whipped old Mrs.
Scott the mother of the Faireliance girls.
Mrs. Scott at once notified her daughters.
Yesterday aftcniiion they arrived at l-emont.
With the fury of she-tigers the three Hew at
each other. A lurgc crowd of whooping
miners gathered almut, but there was no
attempt m ide to separate the combatants.
They fought forfully l"i minutes, when Mrs.
Firry succeeded in getting aw ay. She was a
pitiable object. Her clothes were torn into
shreds, her face and neck black and blue,
and the blood was ft ow ing from her eyes,
mouth, and nose. Her husband was present
but did not take any hand in the affair. After
the wife hail been conquered the Sotts
challenged him to a fight, but he would not
accept. The Fainhancc people, howling
with victory, left for home on the first iniin.
The Scott girls w ill be arrested, charged with
assault and battery and aggravated assault.
Mrs. Fiery will also be arrested for assault
ing old Mrs. Scott.
Jumped Their Bail,
Chic too, July 23. Frank Chepak am!
Chlelioun, who, with John Hroneck ami
Rudolph-fSevie, are charged with a conspir
acy to blow tip with dynamite Judges Gary
and Grinned and Insjiei'tor Bon field, have
disappeared, and it is supposed have juinxsl
their bonds and tied the city. The cases
against Cliepak, Chleboun and Hronek were
continued by Justice Lyon until to-day. The
two first named rave bonds in the sum of
oOnO each for their appearance, but Hronek,
being unable to procure bail, was locked up
in the county jail. The defendants did not
put in an appearance in Justice Lyon's Court
this morning, though Inspector B infield was
on ban 1 to attend to his en 1 of the case.
Iteputy Sheriff Burke also entered the
Court room with capiases for their arrest, on
the indictment returned by the Grand Jury
of the prisoners as soon as they should aji
pear. It was the intention of the Insjs- tor
to dismiss the case against them as soon as
they were safe in the Sheriffs hands. But
the other cases were all disposed of, and
Chepak and Chleboun did do apiear in
Court. Inspector Itonlield looked just a trifle
nneasy. and a young lawyer in specta-les ran
around the Court room iu a bewildered kind
of a way.
" Frank Cliepak, Frank Chleboun," ealleJ
the clerk.
Inspector Bonfield shifted unensily in his
choir. The little attorney in sfiectacles nisli
ed up and begxed for a few minutes time.
He said his name was Joseph Ksiiout, ami
that he was retained by Chepak. Would
not Justice Lyon give him a little time?
An hour was granted, and Mr. K at horn,
rushed off in search of his client. He re
turned within the alloted time, but did not
bring Chepak with him.
The bonds were declared forfeited, but tlie
Justice gave the attorney forty-eiglft hours
in which to reinstate them. I

and the blows continued to rain down upon
their naked, backs until both tell fainting on
the ruin's that held them. They were then

I.OOO.OCO Epcnlah Doubloons.
Xew Yobk. July 27. The mania for treas
ure seeking has struck Klysian Kiel.Is, where
a hunt for hidden treasure is now going on.
One of the most sanguine searchers after
riches is Charles J. lark, of o-A Fjst fix
teenth street, of this city. He claims to be
related to a buccaneer, who wilh several
others, hid l.imo lJUu Spanish doubloons. He
says his relative was a buccaneer and during
the war between America ami Mexico lie
commanded a pirate ship. He amassed a
large fortune, which he buried at the month
of the Guadeloupe river, in Mexico.
It was discovered there and was nrtietly
removed iu a vessel to Hoboken, where it
was buried at a point midway between tat
tle Point and Kings Muff. Clark consults a
map while digging, and on it shows Castle
Point as an LslanuV. Clark works every day
and expects someday to find the treasure.
Another uujrtet of men are working a
short distance from Clark. Yesterday they
were seen to bend down and lift a large stone
from a hole they were working on. After
the stone had been raised they all went to
work and shortly after brought a skull and
a few bones to light These men are also
I xiking for buried treasures. If they keep on
the Klysian Fields will he dug up and the
grounds sifted (or gold.
