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.

were necessary to a choice.

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.
Useless is the calendar
When December's here;
Take but little reckoning
To tell tho time of year.
Johnny's sudden willingness
With chores at night and noon,
Tell it, plain as print could do—
"Christmas pretty aoor "
Everybody's most polite;
lt'j a perfect joy
Jfow io meet the janitor
iir elevator boy.
Merchants more than gracious.
All the town' in tune
To proclaim the tidings.
"Christmas pretty soon."

lu ottering tho above report ' wish to
say that the percent of attendance has
been lowered from wl.at it would have
been by the great amount ot sickness now
in our town.
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,
