THE CITIZEN EafrrJ »t Pottoßf* at B«tl«T »• 24 ilU»»»l" T KILI.UI C. IWM.It. " P«kHa»r (THURSDAY, DECEMBF.RJI2. 1895. June 16th. St. I.ouis. date fixed on by the Republican naTOHfii, committee for the Republican convention next year. The result was reached on the fourth regular ballot at the committee meeting in Washington, Tuesday, St. Louis getting 28 votes. Twenty-six were necessary to a choice. Inf'm'l Ist. 2d. 3d. 4th. St. Louis 13 '4 18 22 2 ° San Francisco 20 19 '9 '9 1(5 Pittsburg 9 9 5 1 * Chicago ® 899 New York 1 x x x x While some of the Pittsburg delega tion had made up their minds the prize was not for them, other s were hopeful, even confident, until it was announced that Pittsburg had lost on the second regular ballot four of the rine votes it had re ceived on the trial and the first regular ballot. Then the hopeful ones gave up the fight. The result was a bitter disap pointment to them, and they do not hesi tate to say so. Their views were pretty well expressed by Colonel William A Stone, who said: "I am glad St. Louis got it, as long as Pittsburg.couldn't get it. But Pittsburg was not treated right. She ought to have got the convention. Our crime is that we give such a big Republican ma jority in Pennsylvania." Notwithstanding the disappointment of the Pittsburg delegation, when the shout went up that St. Louis had woe, William Witherow grabbed up the big vase of Chrysanthemums from the center table in the Pittsburg headquarterss shouted "fall in," and marched across the hall to join the yelling crowd in the St. Louis headquarters, followed by most of the Pittsburg delegation. The Pittsburg delegation left that night for home on the 7:10 train over the Pennsylvania railroad. The chief satisfaction they had was in knowing that the nine votes which had been cast for Pittsburg on the early ballots went to St. Louis later and helped to make up the majority which gave that city the convention. All seemed to be glad that Chicago did not get it. If eloquence could have won the vic tory, every one admits that Pittsburg would have got the convention on the strength of Congressman Dalzells presentation of its claims. His speech befcre the national committee was easily the best of the day, and so worked up the audience that he was given three rousing rounds of applause mingled with cheers. But as is always he case, the national committeemen had their minds made up as to how they •would vote, and no eloquence could change them. The wool growers, representing one of the most important agricultural interests of the country, are among the first to ap peal to congress for relief from the ruin our effects of the free trade policy em bodied in the Wilson tariff. The states of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia are ably represented in the movement for a restoration of the duties imposed on foreign wool by the tariff of 1890. The effects of the placing of wool on the free list have been carefully collected by the National Association of Wool Growers, and they are of a character to induce favorable action on the part of congress. What is asked now is the passage of a joint resolution restoring the rates of the McKinley law on wool and woolens. Under those rates an annual revenue of $42,000,000 had gone into the treasury , while placing wool on the free list has thus far caused a loss of $100,000,000 to the wool growers. Cameron Quits On Monday last Senator Don Cameron announced formally that he would not be a candidate under any circumstauces for re-election. He made the announcement by making public the following letter ad dressed to Hon. Samuel J. McCarrell of Harrisburg, Pa. United States Senate. Washington, D. C., Dec. 9, 1895 My Dear Senator—l am in receipt of your letter of the 7th. You will remem ber that in a conversation at my home in Harrisburg just after my election to the senate, I told you as well as many other friends that under no circumstances would I again be a candidate for re-elec tion. Since then nothing lias occured to change my mind. Many friends from every section of the state are writing me making inquiry as to my wishes and in tentions, are cordially offering their sup port. It is due to them that a public an nouncement should be made in reply to their inquiries, and I take this opportu nity through the senator from my native county to thank you and my friends in every county in the state for their more than generous support for more than a third of a century, and to say that I have not been, am not now, and will not be a candidate for re-election to the senate of the Unitid States. Not being in office a better opportunity will lie afforded me to serve those who have served me, and that I will do so there can be no doubt, Yours truly, J. D. Cameron. To Hon. Samuel J. M. McCarrell, Har risburg, Pa. TUESDAY was a proud day for the Republicans of Keutucky as on that day they inaugurated their first Governor — and they made it the greatest inaugura tion in the history of the state. Republicans congregated- in l-rankfort from all parts of the state and made a procession two miles long. While the parade was in motion cannon boomed from Fort hill, north of the city. When the incoming and tiring Govenors reached the capital grounds and Gov. Bradley marched up to the walk leading to the State House steps, a cheer went up from Republican throats that was as en thusiastic and noisy as the whole situa tion, and a novel one for, '"Old Kaintuck." When the two Governors stepped to the platform which had been erected in front of the Capitol for the exercises of the day, they looked into the faces of a crowd the like of which was never before seen in Frankfort. The mass of heads could have been walked upon throughout the entire distance across the plaza of the street. They were nearly all Republi cans. Signs of the Time.

I wish also to do justice to the pupils and the teachers by saying, that t believe in no other month since I have bad charge of the school has there been us much in terest taken in tho work, ar.d as much pro gress made therein, as nas been done dur ing this month. lam fully convinced of this statement from the fact that 1 have made more promotions in each roon than usnal, and those on questions at least live percent harder than I have ever before given. This we think is evidence of progress, and we sincerly hope that the parents of our school will appreciate and encourage the efforts that are being used to promote the welfare of this school. Teach yi-ur hovs and girls of the great advantages and opportunities of school life. What we most need today in this and every other school is, that parents, direc tors, pupils and teachers should more heartily cooperate in the noble work of education, which U the linn corner-stone of our nation's progress. The bright morn ing 6tar of our liberty and the strong bulwark of our American homes. Wo therefore cordially invite all in terested in the welfare of our school to come and visit us—see what we are doing and thus encourage teachers and pupils. Yours very Truly, HOWARD PA ISTKR, Prin.
