mittee which is the centre of iutrest to

Before it for consideration.
When the reading of the committee’s

tvus at once excited by ('harlos Grosvenor,
r>f Athens, rising to offer the resolution,
lie is one of Mr. Sherman s strongest sup
iwrters, and all knew at once that it was a

ways have tho gifted and tried statesmen of the
Republican party of other States, loyal and un-
Hinchiug in their devotion to the success of the
organization in 1888, under whatever standard
hearer the Republican National (’onvontionmay
select, they have just pride in the record anil
career of John Sherman ns a member of the
Republican party and as a statesman of fidelity,
large experience and great abut y. His career
as a statesman began witli the birth of
the Republican party. He has grown and de
veloped with the growth of that organization.
His genius and patriotism are stamped upon the
records of the party and statutes and constitu
tion of the. country, and believing that his
nomination for the office of President would be
wise and judicious, wo respectfully present his
name to the people of tho United States as a
candidate, and announce our hearty and cordial
upport of him for that office.

following resolution:
Hesolred. That we hereby pledge the united
ami enthusiastic support or the Republicans of
Ohio to the nominee of the next National Re
publican Convention, and in this connection we
’all the attention of the Republicans of Ohio to

Resolutions passed the first Sherman reso
lution one absolutely and unqualifiedly
indorsing Senator Sherman for tho Presi
dency by a v ote of 18 to 3, which was
filter ward made unanimous.
The platform reaffirms the Dow law and
favors such addition.-, thereto as seems to be
demanded by the enlightened spirit of the
’Hfe. It takes strong protective, ground re
tarding tho tariff, and is emphatic in its
'omienmation of the importation of foreign
’outruct labor. It condemns the Democratic
■’fifty of Ohio in strong terms, and in other
mints tukes the usual Republican position.
Two natural gas companies succeeded in

I'ifie linos, and Toledo is brilliantly illuinl-
Jrited by several O iuch stand pipes 70 feet

to That in London.

tawa, Out., says the sensation which was
caused at the capital of the Dominion over
startling revelations made within tho past
few days as to the traffic in young girls of
12 to 14 years, in which a number of promi
nent citizens, as well as several leading poli
ticians, are implicated, promises to develop
into a scandal even greater than that ex
posed recently by the Poll Mull Gazette.
One scandal follows another so closely in the
metropolitan city that the citizens generally
are incensed.
A MEETING HELD.
Last night a meeting was held under the
auspices of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty with a view to devising; some
means by which the great stain on the capi
tal's good name might bo removed. Special
legislation, it was decided, would be neces
sary to attain that end, and the matter
must, therefore, become tho subject of
special legislation at the next session of Par
liament before any law may be enacted to
reach the culprits. It is possible, owing to
the fact that the Chief of Police
has evidence in his possession which would
criminate several prominent politicians if
brought into court, that such a measure, if
introduced in Parliament, would lie de
feated, guilty members of tho Senate and
H< mse of Commons, whose names are freely
mentioned, fearing that their indorsement
of such measure, and the subsequent inves
tigation, would criminate themselves.
A FIEND AT A SWITCH.
A Passenger Train Run Into a Freight,
with Los3 of Life.
Chicago, July 27.—An accident occurred
to the Philadelphia and Chicago express on
tho Baltimore and Ohio railway at York,
Ind., last night. The train left hero at 6
o’clock last night, and at York, owing to a
misplaced switch, ran into a siding and into
a freight train which was standing there.
Engineer Cramer and Fireman Looker, of
tho passenger train, were both killed,
and W. K. Devine, engineer of the freight
train, was badly injured, but will
recover. It is thought no one else was
hurt. There is good reason for a suspicion
that the accident was the result of a deliber
ate attempt to wreck the passenger train.
Thirty minutes before the passenger train
passed York an excursion train passed
safely over the switch and after tho accident
it was found that the switch lock had been
broken open with a heavy oaken club.

KANSAS CITY AS A HOST.
THE PRESIDENT ACCEPTS THE IN
VITATION.
An Exchange of Compliments Be
tween the Chief Magistrate and the
Spokesman of the Committee—A De
scription of the Famous Book of In
vitation With 21,000 Names and
Six Water-Color Sketches.
Washington, July 27.— The Kansas City
delegation which tamo to Washington to
invite the President to visit Kansas City,
Mo., during his contemplated Western trip,
were accorded a special reception in the
East room of the White House to-day.
There were over 100 persons in the party,
including ladies. They hied into the East
room in couples and ranged themselves in a
semi-circle, and as soon as the President en
tered he was met by Mr. McDonald, who
presented G. H. Allen, chairman of the
delegation, and each of tho other members
in turn.
THE INVITATION.
When this formality was over Mr. Allen
advanced and addressed the President in the
following words:
Hr. President —This delegation represents
the merchants,manufacturers,physicians, hank
ers and men of business generally of KHnsax
city, who haw turned aside from our ordinary
daily avocations to be the bearer to yourself
and Mrs. Cleveland of this invitation over their
own signatures of 21,000 citizens of the City of
Kansas, in the State of Missouri, expressive of
their earnest desire that you visit their city at
such time during the eooiing autumn as may oust
suit your own convenience and the exigencies
of the great public trust resting upon you. The
invitation cannot be regarded as coining only
from Kansas City, as that city is the product of
a region which extends northward to the great
lakes, vast in extent, and has for twenty years
been pouring forth [the prodigality of its accu
mulated savings of money and a noticeable (ler
centage of its most energetic, capable and pro
gressive citizens. We believe that a somewhat
extended visit to this great country on the part
of the Chief Executive of the nation is entirely
in the line of plain public duty, and will be more
than this a blessing in the end tj this region and
to the ration.“ You are not only'the Executive of
the nation, but the recommeiwer of its legisla
tion, and in the exercise of your functions to a
great degree a joint legislator. 1 am, there
fore, charged with the responsibility of press
ing upon your attention for serious considers
tiori the advisability of such an extended and
leisurely trip through that wonderful country to
which our own city of Kansas, practically two
cities in one, is the main gateway. May we go
hence in justifiable expectation that wo may
have the pleasure and privilege of seeing you at
our own city.
THE PRESIDENT’S REPLY.
The President replied ns follows:
Mr. Ai.i.ex axp Gentlemen: 1 should not lie
frank with you if I professed that the invitation
which you have just now so pleasantly and cor
dially extended was the first intimation I have
had of your desire that I should see you at your
beautiful home. I have thought that any trip
1 might make bringing me in your
neighborhood would be incomplete
and wanting in advantage and profit
if it did not include a short stay in your active
stirring city. I am specially pleased that the
invitation which you so kindly extend to me
has no partisan and political feature, but that
the parties to it are the people of Kansas City,
desirous of exhibiting to their servant and the
Chief Magistrate of all the people what they
have done and contributed toward the national
greatness and prosperity, of which every
American citizen is. or should lie,
proud; and the pleasure which the non
political feature of your imitation gives me is
increased by the fact that Kansas City is repre
seated here by parties who are actually engaged
intne divers enterprises which have made your
city great and prosperous, and that every inter
est which she fosters has a place in the delega
tion I see before me. I want to see your city,
and I can discern no opportunity to do so unless
1 extend my ti-i| t < • St. Louis, already determined
upon, and Include Kansas City among
the places I shall visit. The considera
tion I have already given the subject
and the heartiness and sincerity of your invita
tion induce me to accept it at once. My time
upon this contemplated trip will, of course.be
limited, and many places which I should be glad
to see must he passed by. hut I am so tree
from doubt as to wbat I should do in response
to your invitation, that 1 think it would lie af
fectation to do otherwise than to assure you
that your city shall be included in my scheme,
i cannot now fix tho exact date when 1 will be
with you, but shall lie glad to arrange that and
other details hereafter wlthtb me acting in your
behalf. 1 might add, in a general way, that tlie
time of my visit will be between tho Ist and lotll
of October.
Tiie President’s remarks were loudly
cheered, and as the applause subsided he
turned to Sir. Allen and remarked sotto
voce:
If this is an evidence of the way you will treat
me when I get to Kansas City, I don’t know
when I shall be able to leave there.
THE INVITATION BOOK.
President Cleveland then spent some time
in examining the invitation which was lying
on a table beside him. It is a largo volume
handsomely bound in seal skin and bearing
on a white satin panel insert" 1 In the cover
the words: ‘ Kansas City to President Cleve
land, greeting, 1887.’ T he first leaves of

Missouri is represented by a maiden seated
in sheaves of wheat. At the feet of the fig

table mid cereals have fallen in profusion.
Some chimneys in tho distance recall Mis
souri’s manufacturing industries.
Vulcan fittingly illustrates the mineral
resources of Colorado. The last conception
of the artist is bis happiest. It is an Indian
maiden just awakened from slumber. Out
of the mist surrounding her conies the spirit
of progtvs-, bearing in her left hand a
wreath and whispering to her a promise of
wiiat the future has in store for her when
she (Indian Territory) shall have boon made
a State.
Then follow tho 21,iKXl signature*! which
wejv obtained in several days. The Pn-si
deut having completed his examination of
the invitation was introduced to the Indies
accompanying the party, who told hlrn
frankly that they were not hulf as desirous
of seeing him in Kan as us they were Mrs.
Cleveland. The doors leading tot lie corri
dors had in the in -airtime Ileeii thrown open,

PERSICOLAUDS IRELAND.
THE LAST REPORT RECEIVED BY
THE POPE.
All Danger that the Vatican Would Be
Influenced Against Homo Rule
Passed—The Debate on the Land Bill
Continued Salisbury Denounces
Gladstone.
Boston, July 27.—John Boyle O’Reilly
has just received from the Pilot's special
correspondent at Rome the following cable
gram: “The last report from Mgr. Persico,
the Pope’s representative in Ireland, has
been received at the Vatican, and is most
laudatory of the Irish people. Mgr. Por
sico was sent to Ireland Juno 27 to examine
into the social and political condition
of the Irish. English intriguers
at Rome expected that Mgr.
I’ersico would look through the I)tiko of
Norfolk’s eyes and send such a report to
Romo as would once for all estrange the
people’s sympathies from the cause of Irish
home rule. Their malice has defeated it
self. To question Mgr. Persico’s accuracy
of judgment is to Insult the Pope,
so they are snared in a trap of their own
devising.”
Mgr. Persico is well known in the United
States, having successfully administered the
diocese of Charleston, 8. C., and been
Bishop of Savannah. He lias successfully
conducted many exceedingly delicate diplo
matic missions for the i’opo, whose un
