Luraville (Suwannee county.) correspond
cnce N Ew.s, June 3: Luraville has now four
stores, one of which is 24 by 100 feet, and is well
finished and painted. Tlie firm (Higdon A
Mclntosh) occupying this house did the largest
cotton trade (with perhaps one or two excep
tions) last winter that was done in the county.
A school house has also recently been built
here. Our population is steadily increasing.
Immigrants are induced to settle on account
of the healllifuluess of climate and fertility
of soil.—There is only one obstacle in the wav
™ progress, and lliat is transportation. We
live on the Suwannee river, 23 miles above
Branford. There are a few shoals interven
ing, composed of loose rocks, which could
he easily removed, or perhaps what
would lie better at present, a small
boat could be constructed that would
l**** over the shoals at any season of
of the year. We know of no enterprise that
would pay better. There arc now remaining
at the gins here 150 tons of cotton seed on ac
count of having no wav of transporting it.
The nearest railroad point is Live Oak, ten
miles distant. Merchandise anti cotton have
to !>e hauled in wagons to Live Oak. There are
four other s ores and three other steam cot
ton gins within five miles of this place. Now,
take into consideration the merchandise and
cotton of these seven merchants, in fact all
the cotton raised in this part of the country,
and it will show up a nice sum in freights.
There was a great deal of cotton brought here
from Taylor county last year, besides that
from Lafayette.—There is one feature in par
ticular that a boat would develop, and that is
truck fanning. We have every advantage
for raising truck. Quite a number of our citi
zens being encouraged by promise of trans
portation by Capt. Hice. of the steamer Caddo
Belle, planted vegetables for market, but after
the death of Capt. Rice interest in this por
tion of the country subsided, so far as the P.
I. Company were" concerned. We hope that
some company will seize the opportunity and
ffive us transportation facilities.—Corn crops
lere were never more promising; oats are
scarcely an average.—There is more sea island
cotton planted than usual, add it promises
a full crop.

Proposition to Issue 500 Tickets to
Fate* 19 Veterans Shares a Similar
Chicago, July 4, 12:10 p. m.—At a late
hour last night, after considerable earnest
talk among the Blaine delegates from
Missouri and Michigan upon the advisa
bility of bringing out Gen. Sherman as a
candidate as the only solution of the pres
ent situation in the convention, it was
urged that Gen. Sherman would not per
mit the use of his name or accept the
nomination under any circumstances. In
obedience to the wishes of a majority of
these delegates, John B. Henderson sent
an earnest telegram to Gen. Sherman
urging him to accept, and requesting him
to send them an answer this morning.
Horace White, of New York, stated
tins morning that in his opinion Blaine
w as already beaten, and could never get
as many votes in the convention as Pow
ell Clayton did.
The Committee on Credentials.settled
the contest in the First Alabama district
by deciding to seat the two delegates now
on the roll—James E. Slaughter and Frank
I hreatt. The vote on the proposition to
seat the above named delegates was 29
to 10.
The general impression this morning is
that the chances of the nomination of a
man not heretofore prominently mentioned
have been increased. The names most
irequently mentioned are the two Sher
mans and Gresham. Gen. Sherman’s re
ply to ex-Senator Henderson is understood
to be a peremptory refusal to allow the
use of his name.
. case of a break in the Blaine column
it is understood that Nebraska will go to
Senator Sherman. The Eastern delegates
are determined to adhere to Edmunds,
and as they art* divided between Sherman,
Gresham and Hawley for some time, these
managers consider that the great point of
danger for them is to drift from Blaine to
Arthur. If this can be prevented they
hope for a favorable result.
The Tribune this morning bristles all
over with bright articles for Blaine, and
claims that there is no cause for discour
agement on account of the Powell-Clavton
incident, which is not regarded as a Veal
test. It compliments Lynch and the
Southern colored delegates, and attacks
.boldly George W’illiam Curtis, Roosevelt,
Dodge and the others, whom it styles po
litical dudes. It says that the resolution
introduced by Pearce to decrease the rep
resentation from the South hereafter is an
ungracious return for the help received
yesterday from the South.
TIIE CONVENTION REASbEMBLES.
It was something after 11 o’clock this
morning when the convention was called
to order. Prayer was offered bv Rev. Dr.
John H. Barnes, of the First Presbyterian
Church of Chicago.
James A. Gary, of Maryland, presented
a memorial and asked that it be read. It
was from the President and Secretary of
the State Temperance Alliance ot that
State, embodying the resolutions adopted
by that body May 6 last appealing to the
conventions of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties to embody a clause in their
platforms distinctly recognizing prohibi
tion, and to nominate candidates in accord
therewith, and saying that if neither re
cognized this principle the memorialists
would vote for neither, and that if one of
them did so then the ballots of the Alliance
would be cast for the candidate of that
party.
Mr. Massey, of Delaware, offered reso
lutions offering to the Committee on Res
olutions a proposition to enlarge the term
of the Presidential office to six years, aud
to render the incumbent of the "office inel
igible to re-election. It was referred.
Mr. Plumb, of Kansas, offered a resolu
tion against the ownership of lands in
this country by foreigners, as a system
opposed to the doctrine of the fathers, it
was referred.
TRYING TO BIND THE DELEGATES.
Mr. Hawkins sent to the Chair a reso
lution which was read by the Secretary as
follows:
fiesolved. As the sense of tills convention
that every member of it is bound in honor to
support its nominee, whoever that nominee
may be, and that no man should hold a 6eat
here who is not ready so to agree.
Mr. Hawkins asked a vote by States
upon tlie resolution.
The Chair said that the gentleman from
Tennessee moves that the rules be sus
pended and that the resolution be passed.
Mr. Pierce, of Massachusetts—
I trust that that resolution will not pass. I
came here with a purpose, that I believe
every man has, expecting in good faith to
support the convention’s nominee and believ
ing tliat this convention would not nofuinale
any man who would not command tlie univer
sal support of the members of this conven
tion [tremendous applause] and of the peo
ple of the United States. This matter has had
in the past a bad record, brought here when
Lincoln was nominated and brought by a
gentleman from New York, Mr. Conkling, tlie
late Mr. Cenkling, and 1 trust that this con
vention will not bind itself by such a resolu
tion.
Mr. Winkler, of Wisconsin—
I take it tliat our presence here is an as
sertion in itself on the part of every one of
us, tiiat we propose to support the nominee of
this convention. [Applause.] It needs no
resolution in order to enforce that assertion
[applause], and it is for that reason that I am
opposed to adopting any resolution upon the
subject. [Cries of good].
HOLDING THEM TO THE POINT.
Mr. Hawkins, of Tennessee—
In offering that resolution I did it in good
faith and 1 trust that there is not a delegate
to be found who is not ready and willing to
subscribe to that resolution, and if there be a
delegate who is not willing to suppoit the
nominee of this convention he surely ought
not to be allowed to be in this convention, I
don’t care where he comes from. I know of
no harm that can come to a man who is here
for the purpose of participating in making
tliis nomination. I know of no harm that can
come of indorsing that resolution and saying
that lie is willing to stand by the nominee of
this convention. I ask tliat it be passed.
I have heard whispers in the
air is to the course of some gentle
men. I don't believe tliat they are true, and
for the purpose of showing the world that the
Republican party stands here to-day a unit,
and determined to support the nominee of
this convention. I introduced that resolu
tion, and I now move its adoption.
Mr. Knight of California—
Mr. Chairman, I hope that resolution will
pass. [Applause.] No honest Republican,
no man having the good of the great Republi
can party at heart, should dare to Stand on
the floor of tliis i-mvention and vote down
tliat resolution. [Cheers.] There are already
whisperings in the air from men high in the
Republican party, or tliat once stooil high in
i^.* e ,PWA^^.PMIT.p^t a o'nT.has
if he be nominated by this convention, a con
vention of the most intelligent men of this
nation.
READING OUT THE INDEPENDENTS.
That kind of men we want to know, ami the
sooner they are out of the Republican party
tlie better \t will be for the party. Gentlemen
of the convention, no more enthusiastic people
are under the shadow of the American nag
than those in the section I came from. No
more enthusiastic for their candidate can lie
found in this convention, but if lie should not
be the convention’s choice I believe tliat we
would be false ty every principle of the Re
publican party: we would he raise to the con
stituency we represent; we would be false to
ourselves if we d.d not abide by the nomina
tion of intelligen-e. [Tremendous applause].
Tell me what reason can be urged that these
gentlemen of this ion vention. selected alone for
tlieir intelligence, their patriotism, their zeal
in behalf of the lepublicau party that this
convention shall Dot Bupiiort its nominee.
Therefore, gentlenen of the convention, we
hoiie, yes, we Insilt, from Hie section of the
country that we came from, that tjiia resolu
tion be voted fr, and that whoever may be
the nominee h wil have the hearty support
aud votes of this ton vention: and ml those,
be they edit'Ys of newspapers or conducting
great politjWll journals, who refuse to suit
port the noninee, let them be branded [loud
annlauae md cheers], that they not only came
and violated the implicit faith that was put
in them. Jut the direct, honest convictions of
this cotVention expressed by a direct vote
upon tb' subject. .
Whdi Air. Knight took his seat about
75 delegates rose in different parts of the
hall <nd insisted on being recognized by
the ~hair. The Chair refused to recog
nize any of them, and repeatedly.request
ed ®em to be seated. Reluctantly they
totk their seats, and a moment after the
allfusion had subsided the Chair said:
‘The Chair recognizes the gentleman
from New York, George William Curtis,”
CUBTI9 TAKES THE FLOOR.
Mr. Curtiß climbed upon his chair and
began to speak. He said: “Mr. Chair
man—” But at this point loud calls came
up from all pr.rts of the house, “The
platform! The platform!”
Air. Curtis shoot his head, and retain
ing his position on his chair said:
Gentlemen of the Contention: A Republican
and a free man, I came vo this convention. By
the grace of God,a Republican and a free man
Will I go out of this convention. [Cheers.]
Twenty-four years ugof was here in Chicago.
fApplaase.} Twenty-four years ago 1 took
uart with the men or this country who nomi
nated the man who beat* the most
illustrious name in the Republican party
and the brightest ray in whose halo
of zlory and immortality Is that he was the
great emancipator. [Cheers and cries of
“good ” “good.”] In that convention, sir, a
SAVANNAH, THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1884.
'"???i ut ‘ on T jT a J offered in amendment of the
platform. It introduced into that platform cer
tain wonls from the Declaration of Indepen
dence. That man was voted down in that
convention, and Joshua R. Biddings, of Ohio,
rose from his seat and was passing out of the
convention. As he went to pass by inv chair
, haQd ’ well a boy and
unknown to him. I said, “Sir, where are you
going r 9
He said to me: “Young man, I am going out
of this convention, for I find that there is no
place in a Republican convention for an origi
nal anti-slavery manTike me.’’ 'Gentlemen,
after this lie stopped and again took his seat,
and before the convention concluded the Re
publican party declared that no word, no
deed, no sign should ever be made in a Repub
lican convention that in the slightest degree
refleoted on the honor or loyaltv of the men
who took part in that convention, and upon
their adhesion to liberty. [Applause.]
THE RESOLUTION AN INSULT.
The gentleman who was last upon the floor
dared any one on this floor to vote against the
resolution. I 9ay to him in reply that the pre
sentation of such a resolution in such a con
vention as this is a stigma and an insult on
every man who stands here. This question is
not new. Precisely the same motion was
brought up in the last convention, and by a
man from West Virginia. I honor his name,
that man said in the face of roaring galleries
and in the face of this success- this man from
West \ irginia—“1 am a Republican who car
ries Ins sovereignty under bis owu hat."
[Loud appaluse.j
UNDER GARFIELD’S LEAD.
L nder the lead of Garfield I remind my
from California that the convention of
1880, in taking this action, induced the gentle
man who presented that resolution to with
draw that resolution from the consideration
of the convention. Now. sir, in the light of
the character of the Republican party, in the
light of the action of the last Republican
convention the first convention of
which I have known in which
such a pledge was required of the
members—l ask this convention, mindful of
all that bangs upon the wisdom, moderation,
tolerance and patriotism of our acting, I beg
this convention to remember Lincoln, to re
member Garfield, to remember the very vital
principle of the Republican partv and assume
that every man here who is an honest and an
honorable man will vote this resolution down,
which should never appear in a Republican
convention, as unworthy to be ratified by this
concourse of free meu that I see before me.
[Applause.]
The Chair—
The Chair will say that the rules of the
House of Representatives have been adopted
for the government—as far as applicable—of
this convent ion. aud under the rules of the
House; or, at any rate, uuder its uses and
customs, speeches are allowed to be made
alternately for or against a proposition.
Mr. Posey, of Indiana—
I desire to say a few words against the reso
lution.
The Chair-
Then the Chair would be obliged to recog
nize some gentleman who desired to speak on
the other side. The Chair thinks that is iu
accordance with the custom of the House of
Representatives, and the Secretary will again
read the resolution.
Senator Dolph, of Oregon—
I move to lay the resolution ou the table.
Mr. Hawkins—
As the resolution has developed so much
opposition, and in memory of Garfield, 1
withdraw It. [Slight applause.]
Mr. Ewing, of Pennsylvania, made a
partial report from the Committee on
Credentials to the effect that the commit
tee hoped to be able to complete its labors
this afternoon.
Mr. Ewing, of Pennsylvania, offered the
following:
Resolved, That hereafter iu (lie selection by
district conventions the basis of representa
tion of the several counties, parts of counties
or wards shall be the same as that which at
that time prevails in each district respective! v
for the nomination of Republican candidates
for members of Congress; and wherever a
majority of the counties, or sub-divisions con
taining less than one-half the imputation of
the district, shall regularly unite in a call and
conduct of the convention the action thereof
will be valid.
It was referred.
HENDERSON FOR PERMANENT CHAIR
MAN.
Gen. George B. Williams, of Indiana,
Chairman of the Committee on Perma
nent Organization, reported that the com
mittee had selected John B. Henderson,
of Missouri, for permanent Chairman,
and would request the Secretary to read
the list of Vice Presidents and" Secreta
ries. Charles W. Clisbce, of Michigan,
was selected as principal Secretary. Tlia
report was agreed to.
The Chair appointed Galusha A. Grow,
of Pennsylvania, George F.lJoar, of Mas
sachusetts, and George B. Williams, of
Indiana, a committee to conduct the per
manent Chairman to the platform. Gen.
Henderson was received with cheers.
When the applause subsided Mr. Hender
son spoke as follows:
Gentlemen of the Convention : We have as
sembled to survey the past historv of the
party, to rejoice as we may because of the
good it lias done, to correct its errors, if errors
there be, to discover if possible the wants of
the present and with patriotic firmness to pro
vide for the future. Our past history is union
preserved, slavery abolished and its former
victims equally and honorably by our sidej in
this convention, public faith maintained, un
bounded credit at home and abroad, a cur
rency convertible into coin, aud the pulses ot
industry throbbing with renewed health and
vigor in every section of a prosperous aud
peaceful country.
These are the fruits of our. triumphs over
adverse policies gained in -the military and
civil conflicts of the last twenty-four years.
Out of these conflicts has voiiie a race of
heroes and statesmen challenging confidence
and love at home, and respect and admiration
abroad.
THE CANDIDATES.
And now when we come to select the stan
dariKbcarer for the approaching conflict our
chief embarrassment is not in a want, but in
an abundance of Presidentitl material.
New York has her true and tried statesman
upon whose administration the fierce, and
even unfriendly light of public scrutiny has
been turned, and the universal verdict is
“well done thou good and faithful servant.”
Vermont lias her great statesman, whose mind
is as clear as the crystal springs of his native
State, and whose virtue is as firm
as its granite Hills. Ohio can come
with a name whose history is the history of
the Republican party itself. Illinois comes
with one who never failed in the discharge of
a public duty, whether in the Council cham
ber or on the field of battle. Maine lias her
own honored favorite, whose splendid abilities
and personal qualities have endeared him to
the hearts of It is friends, and the brilliancy of
whose genius challenges the admiration of all.
Connecticut and Indiana tnav come with
names scarcely less illustrious than these;
and now in conclusion if because of
personal disagreements or the emergen
cies of the occasion auother name
is sought there remains that grand old hero
of Keunesaw Mountain and Atlanta—when
patriotism calls he cannot, if lie would, be
silent, but graspiug that banner to hiui so
dear, which lie has already borne in triumph,
he will march to a civil victory no less re
nowned than those of war. I thank you,
gentlemen, for this distinguished mark of
your confidence.
HOW THE NAMES WERE RECEIVED.
The allusions to Arthur, Sherman, Ed
munds and Logan wore heartily ap
plauded, but when Blaine was alluded to
as a man whose splendid abilities and
personal qualities had endeared him to
the hearts of his friends, and whose bril
liancy of genius challenged the admira
tio>< uf iimnkinj, a. storm
broke out on the stage.floor and galleries.
Men stood up, and, waving their hats and
handkerchiefs, cheered again and again.
Women also took part in the demonstra
tion and waved their lans and handker
chiefs. Alter the first storm of applause
had worn itself out it was repeated again,
and once again, and the enthusiasm was
as marked and intense as that which
characterized the convention of 1880,
at the time of Garfield’s nomi
nation. It was fully five minutes
before the Chairman was able
to resume and finish the speech. Mr.
Stebbins, of Arizona, presented a resolu
tion to the effect that the appointment of
Territorial officers by the President of the
United States should be from actual resi
dents of such territories. It was referred
to the Committee ou Resolutions.
A delegate Irom California presented
a resolution to the effect that the Com
missioner of Agriculture should he made
a cabinet officer. It was referred to the
Committee on Resolutions.
The woman suffrage resolution was
presented and referred to the Committee
on Resolutions. The convention ad
journed at 12:20 o'clock this afternoon till
T o’clock this evening.
THE EVENING SESSION.
Chicago, June 4, 10 r. M.—Chairman
Henderson called the convention to order
at 7:35 o’clock, and made the following
announcement:
Gentlemen, there is a communication in the
hands of the Secretary from the Committee on
Credentials which will be read to the conven
tion.
The Secretary read the communication,
as follows:
To the Chairman of the Republican Xatlonal
Convention'.
Sib—The Committee on Credentials have
the honor to notify the convention tHat as im
portant business is occupying the time of the
committee the committee will not be able to
report to the convention this evening.
Mr. Curtis, of New York, said he held
in his hand a petition of the American
Peace Unjon, which he asked to have re
ferred to the Committee on Resolutions.
The Chaii said that it would be so re
ferred.
Mr. Matthews, of Illinois, desired to in
troduce a resolution which he asked to
have read to the convention. The Secre
tary read to the convention as follows:
Beeolmd, That the Committee on the Dis
tribution of Tickets be hereby iustrneted to
furnish 500 tickets of admission during the
sessions of this convention, to be given to vet
eran soldiers who desire to witness the pro
ceedings.
Mr. Thurson, of Nebraska—
I rise to ask a question. I wish to ask in
what manner and to what person for distri
bution will rtiese tickets be issued.
A delegate from Pennsylvania—
I will move to amend by adding that they
be distributed according to representation
upon the floor of this convention to the Chair
men of the various delegations.
The motion was seconded bv a dele
gate.
CLAYTON OPPOSES.
Mr. Clayton, of Arkansas—
Mr. Chairman, having been one of the
members of the sub-committee who had
charge of the apportionment of scats in tbit
convention, and having softie knowledge of its
seating capacity, J desire to say that in the
apportionment oftliese seats every seat was
provided for by tickets and that tickets are
issued sufficient to till every seal in the hall
Now, if these tickets are to lie issued I would
like to know where the people are to be seated
otherwise I would be glad to see them here’
but unless you have seats for the gentlemen
and they come and stand in the aisles, it will
make confusion. If you can provide for tne
seating of these men" I shall lie very glad to
adopt the resolution.
Mr. Matthews, of Illinois—
In reply to the remarks of the gentleman
from Arkansas, I want to say that while it
may be true tliat tickets are issued for every
seat, it is equally true that these are not oc
cupied, half of them, but if a veteran should
occupy a seat and the holder of a ticket there
for should come along and demand it 1 will
say to this convention that they will hold lo
the authority of that ticket, and I-want to say
also that while these seats are occupied these
men would be glad to stand to the end tliat
they might witness the proceedings. All these
men ask is to be permitted to come iuto the
hall and occupy such seats as are not occupied
by gentlemen or Ladies holding accredited
tickets to those seats.
Mr. Lee, of Florida—
Tlie State of Florida was entitled to so many
tickets, and yet that State has been unable to
secure them. There are, I understand, twen
ty-live seats that belong to the State. If tliat
State cannot in any other manner obtain
the benefit of those tickets she is willing to
yield those tickets that tlie veterans mav ob
tain seats. [Applause.]
The Chair—
Aon have heard the resolution. The first
question before the convention is the amend
ment offered by Llie gentleman on the left.
Mr. Matthews said he most cheerfully
accepted the amendment from the gentle
man on his right.
The Chairman said that the resolution,
as amended, will now be read:
THE RESOLUTION.
The Clerk read the resolution, as fol
lows:
Resolved, That the Committee on the Dis
tribntion of Tickets be hereby instructed to
furnish 500 tickets of admission to this Ha.II
during tlie sessions of this convention, for
veteran soldiers' who desire to witness the
proceedings, to be distributed according to
tlie basis of representation on this floor, and
delivered to tlie Chairmen of the respective
State delegations.
A delegate from Arkansas said he
would suggest that there were States
represented on the floor who had quite
large delegations there, and under the
amendments that were offered they would
be entitled to tickets to distribute. We
have, unfortunately, few veteran soldiers
among us. He thought these tickets
ought to apply to the States who have
veteran soldiers. They should be nlaeed’
in the hands of States that have veteran
soldiers here,and not in the handsof those
who have none. [Applause.]
Mr. Massey, of Delaware—
I rise to offer an amendment, and lliat is
that the resolution be so modified tiiat the dis
tribution shall be made of these tickets by a
special committee from a delegation from 'll
linois [cries of “No,” “No,”] so that these tick
ets [cries of “No,” “No,” and hisses.] If the
suggestion made ou the rigtit of the hall, bv
whom I know not, for I did not recognize tlie
member, is to be carried into effect, then it
necessarily will be that in many States repre
sented here on this floor,from which there are
no Union soldiers present, the purpose in
tended to be accomplished by the resolution
will have failed. [Cries of “No,”
“No ”] The purpose being that these
soldiers of tlie Union—men who need no
apology to be made for them m any Repub
lican convention and tlieir right to be here —
I say that if any other arrangement than that
now contemplated by tlie suggestion be car
ried into effect, it will be futile to reacli the
object desired, and therefore I suggest that
the resolution be so modified as to contem
plate the distribution by a special committee
from the Illinois delegation to be selected by
themselves. [Cries of “No,” “No.”]
Mr. Manning, of lowa
I suggest in response to the gentleman from
Delaware that if there is any delegation pres
ent that lias no Union soldiers or veterans,
tliat the Chairman of that delegation turn
them back to tlie committee, with a request
tliat they be reapportioned to States that liave
Union soldiers. [Light applause.]
A SET BACK FOR LOGAN.
The Chair-
Before the vote shall be taken i desire tosav
that I have just bee* informed by a member
of tlie National Committee tliat tickets have
been issued for every seat in this Hall. Is tlie
house ready for the question? All iu favor of
tlie adoption of the resolution will say aye,
and the contrary no. Tlie noes seem to
have it. The noes have it and the resolution
is defeated. [Slight applause.]
Motions to adjourn to various hours to
morrow morning and objections to ad
journment wore shouted out from everv
quarter. In the midst of the confusion the
Chair put a motion and declared the con
vention adjourned to 10 o’clock to-mor
row morning. The Secretary read to the
convention, immediately after adjourn
ment, the following telegram from Oregon:
To lion. Senator Dolph: I have to report
that there is no longer any doubt that the Ke
publieans have carried a majority of the
Legislature of this State, which will secure
the gain of a Senator to the United States
Senate. [Tremendous applause.] Thev have
also elected a Republican Representative in
Congress, and Oregon is safe for the nominee
of thi3 convention for President.
SHERMAN’S DECLINATION.
Chicago, June 4, 11 p. m.—The follow
ing is the text of Gen. Sherman’s reply to
ex-Senator Henderson’s dispatch:
St. Louis, June 3, 1884.
lion. J. B. Henderson :
I answered by mail last night. If that let
ter is not reached, please decline any nomina
tion for me, in language strong but courteous.
The sub-committee on resolutions, hav-'
ing completed their work, reported to the
full committee at 3 o’clock. The resolu
tions, as reported, were read in order for
debate. The session lasted four hours,
and the committee adjourned without
completing the platform. The principal
points of discussion were understood to
be the tariff plank, and it was recom
mitted to the sub-committee,
with instructions .to report to
the full committee at 9:30 o’clock to-mor
row morning. It is said that the differ
ence oi opinion is not serious and was
expected to be readily settled at the meet
ing to be held later this evening. The
resolution will contain a strong indorse
ment of l’resident Arthur’s administra
tion, declare for civil service reform,
favor au efficient navy and a vigorous
tariff plank. The Committee on Creden
tials has been in session almost continu
ously for twenty-four hours, ana up to 4
o’clock this afternoon had only disposed
ui me sevenm zviaoama, rust Georgia,
Fifth Kentucky, Second Illinois aud
the District of Columbia cases,
leaving two New York, two
Pennsylvania and the remaining
Kentucky cases undetermined, and also
the Virginia contest.
In the Seventh Alabama case R. A.
Morely and Arthur Bingham, regulars,
were seated over Warner and Hamlin,
contestants. The seated delegates are
Arthur men.
THE GEORGIA CONTEST.
A. N. Wiison and James Blue were
seated in the First Georgia district over
Johnson and Green. The men admitted
are Arthur delegates.
In the Second Illinois district there was
a sharp contest, but Henry Huger antF
Chas. Viper, adherents of Logan, were ad
mitted.
Two hours were expended before a de
cision was reached in the Fifth Kentucky
case, and the contest resulted in the seat
ing of E. A. Willson and M. Winton,
Blaine men, as airainst John Mason
Brown and Silas F. Miller. The vote
stood 20 to 21. It is believed that the
light in these cases will be renewed in the
convention. In the district of Columbia
case Frank Conger was seated.
KENTUCKY DISSATISFIED.
CHICAGO, June 4, 11 :;J0 p. m.— The de
cision of the Committee on Credentials in
the contested Fifth Kentucky district case
has created a good deal of excitement and
111 feeling, and it is said to-night that the
committee will reconsider its action. If
it does not, some members from Kentucky
threaten to take the matter before the
convention.
It is stated upon good authority that the
Alahone delegation from Virginia will be
admitted without contest. .
BLAINE ON THE FIKST BALLOT.
An Analysis of the Lynch-Clayton Vote
Gives Him 364 to Arthur’s 398.
Washington, June 4.—A Chicago
special to the Star says: Whitelaw Keid,
Tom Bayne and other Blaine men have
prepared an analysis of the Clavton-
Lynch vote, which shows the following
results, assuming Clayton to represent
Blaine and Lynch the opposition. They
deduct from the 388 votes for Clavton 6
from Connecticut, 25 Logan votes front
Illinois, 4 Arthur votes from Virginia, 4
Logan votes from Missouri; total, 39.
This leaves Blaine 349. To this
they add 1 Blaine vote cast tor Lynch in
Arkansas, 2 in lowa, 2 iu Michigan, 3 in
Kansas, 1 in Wisconsin, 1 in New Mexico,
2in Idaho and 3 others—ls in all.
Adding these to 349, they make Blaine’s
strength 364. This is claimed as the de
velopment of the test vote in Exposition
Hall, and upon this the Blaine men base
their confidence. Thev do not, however,
claim more than 335 or 340 votes on the
first ballot, their prospective Indiana
losses on accountof Harrison’s candidacy
not being included in the above. By de
ducting from the 431 votes for Lynch, the
Edmunds votes in Massachusetts, Sher
man votes in Ohio, and the Edmunds and
other anti-Arthur votes in the West, they
reduce the President's strength to 298.
The Inter-Ocean to-day says: “The fight
in 1880 is about to be renewed. The ele
ments of that day are entered into this.
The indomitable forces of that day are the
vital elements of to-day, and, like the
reaching shadow of promise, coming
events have fairly been forecast.”
The same special says that the re
ferences in Chairman Henderson’s speech
to the different candidates were greeted
with applause, which made the building
ring, excepting when he alluded to Sena
tor John Sherman, when the enthusiasm
became very tame. This circumstance is
construed to mean that the sentiment of
the convention is against Sherman.
EDMUNDS GOES TO BUY A HORSE.
Senator Edmunds left this morning for
Warrenton, Va„ where he expects to
purchase a saddle horse. liis departure
at this time upon such an errand was a
subject of a great deal of comment at the
capitol to-day, and some joking remarks
as to whether the horse would be dark or
not were made. Edmunds said before he
left that he did not think either he or
Sherman would be nominated.
SENATOR SHERMAN’S HOPES.
Senator Sherman was not at all sur
prised at tbe positive refusal of his
brother to allow his name to be con
sidered. He said that he had known all
along that Gen. Sherman would not per
mit the use of his name. In reply ta the
remark that many persons deemed his
nomination most probable, Senator Sher
man said that if Blaine and Arthur fail,
aud it becomes necessary to take up
somebody else, he had reason to think
that he might be chosen. He said that he
knew that he would get most of the
Southern votes in the event of a break
from Arthur, and that he (Sherman) is
stroug in the East, where Logan is not,
and where it is very important to have
voting strength iit order to carry
the election. Senator Sherman
did not credit •the statement
published in some of the papers that there
was a row iu the Ohio delegation last
night, growing out of the unwillingness
of the Blaine men to support him. He
was satisfied that he could aud would
have the hearty support ol the Ohio
delegation if his name should be pre
sented to the convention.
THE OTHER CANDIDATES.
The other candidates spent the day
quietly reading and showing telegrams
from Chicago. Postmaster General
Gresham reiterated to everybody that he
was not a candidate while l’resident
Arthur was in the field. He spent some
time at the White House to-day. The
President does not consider himself out
of the race by any means.
Cameron Fights Turner aiul Strobacli.
Chicago, June 4,11:45 p. m.—George
Turner, of Alabama, this evening as
saulted Brewster Cameron, ex-Chiel' Ex
ecutive of the United States Department
ot Justice, in the rotunda of the Grand
Pacific Hotel. Cameron turned upon
him and struck him a severe blow upon
the head with a cane. Paul Strobach, of
Alabama, seeing tbat bis friend was
getting the worst of the encounter, began
punching Cameron with his umbrella.
The latter, however, was fully equal to
the occasion and came out first best iu
the fight. The occasion for the assault,
Cameron says, was the evidence which
he was compelled to give before the Com
mittee on Expenditures in the Depart
ment of Justice concerning the conduct
Of certain Alabu*ia marshals.

the subject of using musical instruments
in the United Presbyterian Conference

and minority reports by the Committee
on Bills and Overtures, continued all day,
and resulted in the defeat of tbe minority

further action on the subject should be
taken by the assembly. Notice of protest

Sheriffs Loohins for the Perpetrators
of the Sextuple Murder.
Kansas City, June 4. — Sheriffs Cand
ler, of Lion, and Shoemaker, of Miami
county, Kansas, arrived in this city this
morning in search of the Pleasanton mur
derer. The fifth body, that of a young
girl, was found at Pleasanton yesterday.
The murdered parties have been identified
as the family of J. H. Anderson, an im
provident farmer. It appears-that they
had knowledge of some
crime committed by Lewis
Wampler. The two men left the house
together. Wampler returned alone, say
ing that Anderson had sent for the family.
They started in the wagon and on the
~“.ti ** m suppuocd, xvampler murdered
the woman and four children and fled. It
is probable that Anderson has also been
put out of the wav. Wampler was alter
wards seen near Paoii, riding the missing
horse, and it is believed he came to this
city. The greatest excitement prevails at
the scene of the crime.
The Yellow Fever Conference.

that every State should appoint inspec
tors on lines of communication from in
fected places; that every State should
have a right to appoint inspectors of its

reasonable facilities for obtaining infor
mation. They also favor isolation und
disinleetion to prevent the spread of yel
low fever or cholera in towns.
AN ADJOURNMENT AFTER THREE DAYS.

Mr. D. H. Barnaby, of Oswego, N. Y.,
says that his daughter was taken with a
violent cold which terminated with Pneu
monia, and all the best physicians gave
the case up and said she could live but a
few hours at most. She was in this con
dition when a friend recommended Dr.
Wm. Hall’s Balsam for the Lungs, and
advised her to try it. She accepted it as
a last resort, and was surprised to find
that it produced a marked change for the
better, and by persevering a permanent
cure was effected.
TILDEN’S NO NOT A YES.
-MK. DORSHEIMER AUTHORITY
FOR THE AVOWAL.
The Sage's Determination Nof to Ac
cept it Nomination to be Formally De
clared at the New York State Demo
cratic Convention— His Present Silence
Explained.
ashixgton, June 4.—There is now
every reason to believe that Tilden will
not accept the nomination of the Demo
cratic Convention. Representative Dors
heimer, of New York, having heard the
contradictory statements of Congress
men who have been calling on Tilden this
spring as to Tilden’s intentions in regard
to the nomination, determined to ascer
tain exactly what Tilden proposed to do.
Through Charles A. Dana he learned that
Tilden would not be a candidate before
the Democratic Convention. This infor
mation Mr. Dorsheimer has conveyed to
his Democratic friends in the Senate
and House. The result is
a very general expression of
sentiment by both Seuators and members
in favor of the nomination of Bavard.
Bayard and McDonald is the ticket most
generally named. In his letter to Mr.
Dana, asking him to see Mr. Tilden, Air.
Dorsheimer said that the Democratic
party was suffering through the general
uncertainty as to Mr. Tilden’s intentions.
The party, he said, was drifting to and
fro, rudderless and befogged, at a time
when it was necessary to go forward con
fidently. He begged Mr. Dana, for the
party's sake, to see Mr. Tilden, show him
the evil effects of the present uncer
tainty and urge him to declare
himself. Last Friday Air. Darsheim
er went to New York amd saw Air.
Dana. The latter reported that he had
visited Tilden and had submitted to Him
all the arguments presented in Air. Dors
heimer’s letter. After listening patiently
Mr. Tilden replied that he had not wa
vered an Instant in his purpose to forbid
the use of his name. He then showed to
Mr, Dana a letter written by himself in
which in terms most positive, emphatic
and unequivocal, he not only refuses the
use of his name, but declares that
he would not accept the nomina
tion if tendered him. and that he
would not be a candidate under any cir
cumstances. “I wrote that letter,” said
Air. Tilden. “to Air. Dana, in substance,
two months ago, with the intention of
making it public then, but they persuaded
me to withold it for a time, and I shall
now have it read at the State Democratic
Convention, on the 18th of June.” In
speaking of “they” Air, Tilden referred to
Alessrs. Bigelow, Alanning and several
other Democratic politicians who held
very close delations with him. He said
that they had some purposes to
subserve which would have been
injured by the immediate
publication of the letter, and as he, per
sonally, did not care for a little delay, he
consented to withhold it until the meeting
of the State Convention. Air. Dana as
sured Air. Dorsheimer that he saw and
read Mr. Tildeu’s letter, *and that there
was no question of Mr. Tilden’s perfect
sincerity—tbat he is not and will not be a
candidate under any consideration. The
purpose to be subserved ou the part of
Air. Alanning and the other Tilden advi
sers, is believed to be the substitution of
Cleveland in Tilden’s place. Flower is re
garded here as out ot the race.

ENGLAND’S IRISH FOES.
A Note Coming to This Government-
Counter Demonstrations.
London, June 4.—Earl Granville ispre
paring a note to Washington in relation to
the collection of conspiracy funds within
. the jurisdiction of the United States.
Dublin, June 4.—The Irish Executive
j has written a letter to Lord Arthur Hill
explaining the policy adopted by the gov
ernment in regard to public meetings and
demonstrations. The letter states that
the government has decided in future not
to permit counter demonstrations on the
part of Orangemen to be held at the same
time and place as Nationalist meetings.
It will not interfere with such couuter
demonstrations, however, provided they
are held at such times and places as wifi
not bring the hostile bodies in contact
with each other. This decision of the
government has exasperated the loyalists
in the north of Ireland, and it seems
likely that indignation meetings will be
held.
The Dublin Express says that the gov
ernment has unconditionally surrendered
to the party of sedition. We believe,
however, that the loyalists will meet the
rebel demonstrations with loyal demon
strations, and that these will only cease
when they are met by the bayonets and
bullets of the Queen's troops.
Freeman’s Journal congratulates the
government on its action and says: “It
settles forever the pretensions of the
Orange landlord faction.”
The Newry nationalists have appointed
another demoi stration for next Sunday.
They threaten serious demonstrations in
case the government proclaims Sunday
meetings.
Paris, June 4.—The chiefs of the dyna
mite party in Paris declare that the
authors of the late London explosions
have escaped from England and are now
in perfect safety. Another outrage,
which it is believed will be more success
ful, has been planned. The final details
have been arranged for a secret meeting
of the dynamiters, which will shortly be
held.
Dublin, June4.—At an excited Orange
meeting at Newry to-day it was decided
to hold a counter-demonstration to Sun
day’s Nationalist meeting. The Orange
men are determined to resist to their ut
most any attempt to stop the counter
demonstration. A dispatch was sent
Lord Arthur Hill, asking for assistance
and orders to prevent the Nationalist
meeting.

London, .June 5, 2 a. m. —The Standard
this morning says: “At no time, per

it been less possible to forecast the result
at Chicago. Voting will simply triumph
for men, not victory for a measure.
Whatever result ensues there are no great
issues at stake. It is difficult to say
where the Democratic and Republican
platforms differ. The chief importance ot
the present convention consists in decid
ing how far the choice of a candidate can
be influenced by the Irish faction in fa
vor ol stirring up ill blood between Eng

HOW SHE GOT A HUSBAND.
A Young Girl Who Traveled to Mon
tana on a Matrimonial Venture.
Miss Nettie Brott. of Oswego Falls,
says the Oswego (N. Y.) Times, is the he
roine in a rather romantic marriage.
Some time ago she read an advertisement
in a newspaper soliciting correspondence
with some lady, with a view to marriage,
if all was “proved agreeable.” After
correspondence and the exchange of pho
tographs the gentleman sent for the lady
to visit him at his home in Montana. She
left here about the first of May for the far
West. He met her for the first time about
200 miles this side of his home at the town
oi Billings, in Montana. She would
not then marry him until she had
visited his home and learned more
of him and his character. She
found in his home his mother and two
nieces, who cordially received her. Suf
fice it to say that this daring orphan girl
two weeks later fully determined to re
main and grow up with the country.
The agreement was that if she did not like
him or he her enough to marry, he was to
pay her expenses back to this"place. She
paid her fare out to him. The younglady
was a member ol the Baptist Church and
bore, we believe, a good reputation. The
following is taken from a Montana paper
and tells the sequel to the story:
“Married, May 13, 1884, in Stillwater,
Mr. Alexander Hundley, of Stillwater,
Montana, and Miss Nettie Brott, of Oswe
go Falls, N. Y.”
Laphain as an Art Critic.
Senator Lapham. of New York, savs a
Washington special of the 27th inst.,"has
a high reputation as an art critic. He was
called upon to-day to visit the room of the
Senate Library Committee and inspect a
portrait of Gen. Garfield, which an artist
has recently presented to the government.
The picture is a mosaic, similar to tbeone
of Lincoln, now hanging in Statuary Hall.
The mosaic portrait of Garfield is also by
the same artist. At a distance the join
ing of the small pieces which make
up the picture do not show, ex
cept upon the white shirt-front.
Senator Lapham was asked to give
liis opinion of the picture. He looked at
it with an air of the most profound wis
dom through his black-rimmed eye
glasses, when he said: “I think that it is
a very good portrait, but 1 don’t like the
checked shirt. I don’t see quite bow an
artist of taste could have put such a shirt
on Garfield. Now Garfield always wore
a white shirt.” The Senator paused in
his remarks at this point. The members
ot the Library Committee looked so
thoroughly delighted and amused at this
line of criticism, that Lapham suddenly
shut up like a meat trap, and a moment
afterwards waddled out of the committee
room in a great state of indignation, say
ing that next time that a library com
mittee got him down to examine pictures
for them they would know it.
