Mem bers of the American Agricultural and Dairy association met today in its seventh, annual convention in this citv. After a few preliminaiies Jos. II. Beall opened the convention with a long speech. lie staled Hint the convention was called to celebrate the mot important victory ever won for agriculture the passage of the oleomar garine law. Referring to the oleomargar ine bill, he said it was the first content for national legislation made in the history of the country by farmers. They were vic torious, for it was the' who fought and won the battle; it was not money, it was not argument, it was not party politics; it was the irresistable power of the organized army of farmers which marshalled up to the doors of congress that secured the law; it was the expression of their will by letter, petitions and personal interviews that beat down the walls of prejudice, forced practic able, sensible and useful interpretation of the constitution and overcame the power of millious arrayed against them. He urged his hearers to foster and en courage dairymen by every- means in their power, and declared they were much in debted to the grangers ol the country for the victory gained in securing the passage of the bill taxing adulterated and counter feit butter. The approval of the bill by the president, lie said, was prompted by an earnest desire to serve the best interest of farmers. The speaker returned his sincere thanks for the generous and unfailing support that had been extended by the dairy farmers and product merchants in the recent cam paign against bomis butter. Kcferring to the tari'lf laws. Mr. Beall declared it to' the interests of all farmers to sec that the were directed to the advancement and pro tcotion of Ameiican Industry and so framed as to give farmers the best home market for their produce. Then there would be just enough protection and a similar amount of free trade. Continuing, he said immigration shall be regulated; confined to an acceptable class, pledged to become citizens. The land laws should be revised, and sales in large bodies to aleins should be prohibited. Reason able and practical regulations of inter state commerce was necessrry, and the Cullom bill for the establishment of a national rail road commission now pending in congress, would seem sufficient to accomplish this purpose. In conclusion the speaker urged farmer.-, and those interested in agriculture, to see that his vote was cast this fall regardless of party, for members of congress who voted for The oleomargarine bill, and in case an' were defeated for renomination, to select the best of the two candidates in the field A majority of the national congress.he add on, are true friends and the executive chair is with us and let us be sure to keep both there. Mr. Beall was frequently interrupt ed by applause during the delivery of his address. Some foity odd delegates were present, representing" mainly Pennsylvania, ZS"cw York, New Jersey .'Delaware, Ohio. Vir ginia, Maryland, "Georgia, ' Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts and "Canada. Picsidcnt Cleveland sent the following: Sakanac Inn, Sept. 13. To Josoph II. lU-all. Ki., lVfSldcut, etc. My Dear Sir Your letter of the'kdinst. supplementing our pleasant interview and containing aninvitation to attend the na tional convention of the American Agricul tural and Dairy association, is received. I should be glad" to accept the kind invita tion tendered and avail myself of the op portunity the convention will afford to me a the representative of an interest so impor tant and valuable as that which the farm ers and agriculturists of the country have in charge. The relation of this interest to the well fare and prosperity of our land is so inti mate that its proper and legitimate care and protection is in my opinion a patriotic duty. This consideration elevates the respond bility of those in any ways intrusted with our Tanning industry beyond the pale of mere scltisliiies andshould induce conserv atism and moderation. Demands made in such a spirit cannot fail to exact a just and appreciative response from those who make ami execute our laws. 1 hope that the coining convention may be productive of the best results to the a"grieulturists as well as to all the people of our country, and though plans already made and engagement already agreed upon w ill prevent my ac cepting vour" invitation to be present. I shall be much interested in its object and purposes. Your sincerely, Gkovki: Cixvi:iai. Congressman Jas. Buchanan, of New York, "addressed the convention on the sub ject of the oleomargerine bill, and in his re marks said he believed that during the next session of congress efforts would bo made either to repeal or modify the law, and he advised the association to hold itself in readiness to oppose such attempts. Resolutions were adopted expressing the sentiment that no man should be sent to congress whose record is inimical to the farming interest, declaring that the agricul tural bureau should be made a cabinet de partment, calling upon congress to revise the tarill laws by imposiiujfsuch duties on cereal and dairy products as to curtail or stop foreign competition, asking congress to restore the wool tariff of 83, approves Pres ident Cleveland's policy in protecting pub lic lands, and sympathises with workmen in lawful efforts to better their condition. After Mr. Beall was installed as presiding officer the convention took a recess. POLITICAL 'POINTS. Mass. Dems. Lowell, 3Iass., Sept. 15.

The Times will publish a lengthy article regarding the affairs of the Kansas City, "Wyandotte" ami Northwestern Railway company, which is to the following effect": That the party of men who carueherc from New York, os tensibly representing unlimited eastern cap ital and agreed to take bonds for building the road, really represented nothing. They hoped, however, to sell the bond3 and make a handsome profit. This thev were unable to do. The contractor has graded I about four miles of road beyond "tYyan- j dotte and being unable to pay his men has stopped work. Atter some negotiating a syndicate of j capitalists from Memphis" representing the . Memphis, Birmingham and Atlantic road j came here and held a conference tonight i with a view of taking the projected road off the hands of the "present management. They propose to take $250,000 of bonds, j appoint a board of directors and build the road, retaining Mr. Anthony as president of the road. The only obstacle at present ' is the consent of Mr. Van Aiken, the eon-! tractor, to the transfer, and it is expected i that this will be secured. I It is considered probable that the Mem phis syndicate is backed by the Kansas Citv. Fort Scott & Gulf road, but this is not known to be the case.

Brown, local manager of the Wotcin Union Telegraph company, left the city without notifying either tele graph officials or his family. Monday fol lowing he telegraphed Superintendent L. C.

London, Sept. l"j, France has given Germany satisfactory assurances within the past two days, and the tension between the two countries caused by the action of Gen eral Boulanger and French charevinests was largely vanished. The relations be tween the Paris and Berlin governments are better than theyjhave been for a long time. Cholera is gaining ground in Austria. It is worst at Lyie, a .illagc near Agrin. Of 900 inhabitants of the village ninety have been stricken, and twenty-eight of them died almost immediately. People distrust the doctors and are concealing the sick as long as possible. Doctors are" fre quently stoned in the streets. In one house a mother and her daughter were found half naked on the bare lloor, writhing in the agony of death, and in another room lay the body of the father, upon which had been thrown the corpse of a son. A correspondent writes to the Times in reference to the resolution of the Limerick branch of the National League, expressing sympathy with Daley, the dynamiter, whom the resolution describes as dying in a British dungeon. The coarespondent re minds the Times that when Daley was ar rested, there were found in his house, in Birmingham, letters from Boeman which proved that it was Daley's purpose to gain admission to the strangers' gallery in the house of commons and to throw a bomb on the table during debate, Pafncllites, of course, to be cautioned beforehand to be absent on the occasion. If, continues the correspondent, Daley's purpose had been successfully carried out, every leading statesman in the house of commons, on both sides, including Gladstone, would have been killed. A dispatch from Vienna to the Times says Count Kaluokey, Austrian minister of foreign affairs, has returned to Vienna from Gaston, furnished with the rudiments of the entente cordiale between the three emperors on the Bulgarian question; at least so far as the immediate future is con cerned. Russia, the dispatch says, recog nizes the European character of the Bul garian quetion while laying strces upon her special interests in Bulgaria. Sir Charles Dilke has returned to Lon don. It is already announced that he will re-enter public life as proprietor and editor of a London daily paper. Mr. J. J. Claucey, Parncllite member for North Dublin county, arose in his place in the house of commons this evening and charged the government with refusing to pay the slightest attention to Irish mem bers when they urged remedies for local grievances of the people of Ireland. Lord Randolph Churchill replied that the accusation was unfounded. He declared the government was eager to remedy cvery reasonable Irish grievance, and intended for that purpose to develop the functions of the local government board and board public works in accordance with the views of the Irish members if possible. The government, he added, would make proposals to parliament at the earliest mo ment possible for placing all questions of local government and public works in Ire land in the hands of the Irish people, and thought it would be no more than fair to give the government time to develop these intended measures instead of protracting the business before the house by enforcing the details "with constiuit repetition of every imaginable grivcance which Irishmen might have. Austria. Vienna, Sept. 15. A political corre spondent says that General Baron Kaul bars, military attache to the Russian em bassy at Vienna, who was summoned from Galicia while attending the Austrian ma neuvers at Brestiotovsk by the czar last week, will be appointed Russian diplomatic agent at Sofia. If so the appointment must l)e considered significant, as General Kaul bars is admittedly the best informed for eigner living concerning the military af fairs of Austria. Dispatches from Brestliiovok say tint the Russian military maneuvers which have been attended bv the czar have concluded, die closing drill having been a grand march of all the troops past the czar." The suspension bridge over the Ostni witza river in the town of Ostraw in Mora via, collapsed today while a sqadron of Uhlans were, riding acro-s. The Uhlans and a number of spectators who were on the bridge watching the soldiers were ail precipitated into the river. Seven ersOus were instantly killed and many were ser iously injured. Australia. MEi.not" iixn, Sept. 15 Exciting reports have been received here of arbitrary French action in the New Hebrides. Re-", i M. Maedonald, a Presbyterian missionary j at Havannah Harbor, iii a letter to Lieut, j Marx of the British gunboat Avenger, says ! that the French Hebrides company have seized the lands of the native Christian ' mission, alleging prior title, and that the French .commandant threatened the natives ' with armed force if they resisted. The company churns the Iands'of other British subjects. Mr. Maedonald asserts that the French , proctically exercise sovereignty over the islands. A collision between the natives and the French is imminent. Threats have lwen made against Mr. 'Maedonald and na tivc Christians and he demand assistance from the English squadron. The premier of the Australian colonies arc about to hold i a conference t: consider the situation. ! Turkey. CoSTATi-orLE, SepL 15. The Brit ish are establishing a coaling station at Thaso, on the northeast corner of the island of Thaso. The island is in the Aegun sea,off the south coast of Roumalia. It belongs in a great part to the Khedive. The island has, however, for some time enjoyed certain autonomic privilege. Be- sides establishing the coaling station at the village of Thaso the Brittsh government give other indications of an intention to govern the whole island. France. Pakis, Sept. 15.

The principal speech was made by Governor Martin, which, considered as a speech, was a masterly effort, and which, considered in the light of history and truth, in the light progression and the needs and accomplish ments of an advancing civilization, such as Kansas boasts, it was a speech of which ev ery Kansas man will feel proud. Govern or Martin opened as follows: 31r. Chairman, and Ladlre anil Gcntltnicn1 The campaign in Kansas this year is what is called an 'off-year" content. The intense enthusiasm, the fierce excitement, the great processions, with flags and ban ners and music and resounding hurrahs: the marvelous interest, dwarflng and ab sorbing all other concerns, and even para lyzing, for months, the everv-day business pursuits and industries of the people all these will be wanting in the campaign of 1SS6. And yet the interests involved in the election that will be held in November next are as momentous, and the ksuc de-' pending on its result are quite :is important to the "state, as were the interests and is sues depending upon the result at the bal lot box iu 1SS4. The one officer v. ho was to be elected then, and not to be chosen now, was the president. We are to choose, iu November next, as we did two years ago, a full board of state officers, seven congressmen, a state legislature; a judge of the supreme court, amfnearlv half of our county officers. We are to elect men who ! will make our laws, national and state, :is ' well as men who will execute our state laws. And as good local government really concerns each individual "citizen far more than do the acts of the president, because it touches each and every citizen more di rectly, it has always seemed to me that the people, if they have a proper regard for their own interests, ought to regard the 'off-year" elections with quite as deep in terest, if not more anxious solicitude, than they do the choice of the president. DEMOCKACY IX KANSAS. I appear before you as the candidate of a great party, honored by its confidence and proud tb bear its standard, to ask you in its name for your support. I have been a citizen of this state for nearly thirty years. I came here, a boy of lb, when Kansas wsis a poor, weak, "distracted terri tory, rent and torn by civil war, invaded by "hordes of rulllans" and marauders, and suffering under all the evils of the worst government that ever harrassed and op pressed a free people. For more than two years this intolerable lawlessness had prevailed for nearly three years longer it continued; and the party that confronts us today, and is asking your support, is the same party that, from 1831 to 18G1, held Kansas by the throat, and by fraud, and munder, and arson, and turbulence, and every crime that ever disgraced hu manity, endeavored to fasten upon it the curse ot human slavery. ! Beaten in its attempt to enslave Kan sas, the Democratic party plunged the! whole country into civil war, and lor four ' long and bloody years the nation struggled j on to universal freedom and national uni ty, and this young state, that had been j lighting for live years to get into the union, now had to tight" for four years more to I preserve the union. Republicanism and Kansas were wedded together in this long and terrible struggle. When Jefferson Davis marched out of the senate, William II. Seward moved to take up the Kansas bill, and as the coat tails of the rebel chief disappeared through one door, young Kan sas smiling and triumphant, marched in at the other. KEPCBMCAN' CONTIIOL IN KIN-US. For twenty-four years the Republican partv controlled the government of the re public, and from that day to this the Re publican party has moulded, directed and controlled the affairs and destiny of Kan sas. Has the trust reposed in the Republi can party by the people of this tate In-cn misplaced or betrayed? Has it administer ed the government wisely and humanely? Has it justified, by its conduct, the reason able expectations bf an intelligent people? Has it enacted wise laws? Has it honestly collected and disbursed the public reyen ues? Has it maintained jK-ace? Has it made liberal provisions for the education of our youth? Has it fostered institutions for the care and maintenance of the unfor tunate? I las it remembered that the only liberty that is valuable i3 liberty founded on just laws and connected with" public or der? Has it allied humanity with justice? Has its rule promoted enterprise, fostered agriculture, encouraged industry, and nourished commerce? I la it cmfeavon-d to further morality, to promote sobriety, to upnrcss vice, to punih crime, to abolish drunkenness, and to curb and vourge law lessness. Has it, in brief, in the discharge of its public trusts, made this state a great, pro-jjerous, intelligent, law respecting com monwealth, in which even citien enjoys the largest possible liberty conLtent with social order and a due regard for the rights of his fellow men'' If these questions can be answered in the nihrmative, the Repub lican party lias a jun right to expect that the people of Kansas will continue to give it their confidence and support What. then, are the facta? Kansas cele brated onh a few months ago, the first quarter century of her existence a a .'tate. During all tli.it period, as I have vud, the Republican party lias controlled its do-tin ies and administered its government The accidental break in the governor-hip, four year ago, does not modify thw assertion, for the legislature to, during tlmt period, Republican by an overwhelming majority, all the other state officers were Republicans, and the local governments of the state were, a a rule, of similar faith. The Re publicans, therefore, controlled public af- j fairs just as certainly and as firmlr. during t the years la2 and iaz'.i, ?.i they Jul before J and liave since. j Tlie 5)eaker here follow with a stasis-, tical and comparative statement taken from j the official reconL?, showing just wliat Kan-' sas ha accomplished under Republican j rule and inspiration in twentr-flye yeans. ' KANSAS. THE CHILD OK THE KErrilUCAN J r.urrr In citing these facts and figure showing i the marvelout growth of Kansas I am not asserting or in'imating that our fellow riti , zens of other tiolitical organizations have not contributed their full .'hare of the r. v i enues necessary to build and maintain the institutions tnumcrattd. Nor do I claim that to Republicans alone are due all credit for the marvelous growth of Kanaa-5. That vrnnlA le a follr of which I hot I am not capable. But it L true that thii womltrfuj developeaeat coukYBot and would not have occurred if tke government of the state had becn-wUat oxr political opponents assert it has been corrupt, tyranical, weak and bad. I appeal to the average common sense of any good citizen to make acswer whether Kansas could possibly be what it is today, one of the greatest and most prosperous states of. the union, if its government had been the weak and" -wicked thing demo cratic orators and newr-papers assert tlmt it has been? I appeal from Philip, drunk with partisan prejudice, to Philip, sober enough to realize the wonderful growth and to be proud of the splendid state we in habit. Here is the Kansas of our love and our faith look around you and see it. Ev ery citizen of the state, no matter what Jiis political opinion may be, is proud of Kan sas. And yet Kansas, more than any other region under the shining stars, is the product, the child of the Republican party. Republicans have guided and directed its irrowth and development from its infancy to the full stature of its splendid manhood. Republican intelligence, Republican policy. Republican courage, enterprise and sa gacity have inspired its laws, established and moulded its institutions, and controlled every fctep and stage of its marvelous de velopment. There is no state in the Amer icjin Union where there are, in proportion to population, so many happy and pros perous homes as are found iu the state of Kansas, and are comfortably clad. There is no sit down, even- day. to substantial meals, nor where so many wives and chil dren people, anywhere on the earth, where so large a proportion are sober, intelligent, and contented with their lots, a here in Kansas. And this great stale, as I have said, is the child of the Republican party bone of its lwne and llesh of its flesh It has grown great and powerful ami pros perous because it has grown up under lit publican laws and Republican direction. Its schools its- churches its charities, its institutions, its industries, have been planted, nurtured and promoted under the encouragement of Republican intelligence Kansas i a shining illustration of the boneti ccuce of Republican policy and principles Its growth has surpassed that of any other American state, because Kansas has always leen a Republican state. The people know this. The most bitterly prejudiced Demo crat in the land realizes it, wonders at it and in his secret heart rejoices over it TUK TWO l-IiATKOKMs. Our Democratic opponents, however, challenge the right of the Republican par ty to a renewnal of public confidence. And o"n what grounds? Read their platform, and you will see that the first and prlnci pal plank is a general and vcrv bitter dc nunciation or "all sumptuary laws, state or national," and an emphatic "demand for a return of the license system. They are op posed, the platform declares, "to the nrin ciple of constitutional prohibition." They regard it as an invasion of "the individual liberty and manhood ot the citizen." Anil they favor, "instead of constitutional or statutory prohibition, a well regulated and just license system." The Republican platform, on the other hand, declares that "the people of Kansas have adopted prohibition as the settled il icy of the state, ami have declared that the saloon, with its corrupt and demoralizing influences, must go.'' 'The Republicans arc, therefore, the platform declares, "In favor of carrying out thts verdict iu fuvi r of the people" by enacting laws to enforce it, and by faithfully executing tho-e law-, so that the -ale of intoxicating liquors, ex cept for the purpacs specified in the con stitution, may Ik mad lmjKissible." On this qu'estiou, as you will see. the two parties radically disagree. The Republi cans take their stand fairly on the eonititu tion of the stato on the action of the sovereign people of th state win, bv thf fr votes have plactd the liqinr trnlllr and the viloon und r the 1 in - f their f.rgmiir law Tii- Democrat-' dsn'-.imv the n nsti tuti'm and laws of the t ite. and fav-r u rr turn to the lk-n'c system Prohii'U'o.1, it sho'dtl bo i..iit r I was not originally a party or u ' policy.
