AT WASHINGTON.
Washinot.on, July 17. — The news of the rescue
of Lieut. Greely and several of his party created
much excitement in this city. A telegram from
Commander Schley was rocoived by Hear Admi
ral Nichols, acting secretary of the navy, who
immediately communicated its contents to Lieut.
Gen. Sheridan, acting secretary of war. They
proceeded to the White house, and showed tho
telegram to tho presideut, who has taken deep
interest in tbe expedition, and expresses great
concern at the sad death of so many of the par-
ty. A copy of the telegram was telegraphed to
Secretary (.'handler at West Point, and to Secre
tary Lincoln at Nqw York. The families of
Lieut. Greely, Lieut. Commander Schley and
Lieut. Emory were also iuformed of the rescue.
Hear Admiral Nichols to-day telegraphed Com-
mander Schley at Si. Johns as follows:
"Use your discretion about the care and trans
portation of the bodies. Report by wire when
ready to sail for New Yort. The department
sends most hearty congratulations to yourself
and men."
IN MICHIGAN.
Detroit, Mich., July 17. — This city and state
have a melancholy interest in the fiual outcome
of the Greely expedition. The sons of Lieut.
Kislingbury, second in command, live in this
city, while Sergt. Edward Israel's friends live in
Kalamazoo.
FIIDM LIEUT. CKEELT.
General nazen, chief signal officer, received
the following telegram :
St. Johns, N. P., July 17.— For the first time
in three centuries Kngland yield.} the honor of
getting farthest north, Lieutenant Lockwood and
Sergeant Brainerd on May 13th reaching Lock-
wood island, latitude 83 miuutes, 24 .seconds,
longitude 44 miuutes, 5 seconds. They saw
from a 2,000 feot elevation no land north or
northwest, but to the northeast Greenlaud yet
extended, and was lost to view in Cape Robert
Lincoln, latitude 83 minutes, 35 seconds, longi
tude 38 minutes. Lieut. Loekwood was turned>
back in 1883 by open water on the north Green-
land shore, barely escaping drifts into the Polur
ocean. Dr. Pavy, in 1882, following the Mark-
han^route, was adrift one day in the Polar ocean
noflß of < 'ape Joseph Henry, awl escaped to land,
abandoning nearly everythtug. In 1882 I made
in the spring und later part of sum-
mer a trip into tho interior of Greenland
discovering Lake Uazen, some sixty by ten miles
in extent, which is fed by the ice cape of north
Grinnel Lund, and drains Ruggles river and
Weyprecbt Fiord into Conybeare bay and Archer
Fiord. From the summit of Mount Arthur,
3,5,000 foet, the contour of the land west of the
Conger mountains convinced mc that Grinnell
Land tends directly south from Lieut. Aldrich's
farthest in 187 U. In 1883 Lieutenant Lockwood
ahd Sergeant Brainerd sueceedeu in crossing
Grinnell Land, and ninety miles from BettutettX
bay, head of Archers Fiord, struck the head of a
liord from the Western sea, temporarily named
by Lockwood Greely Fiord. From the center of
the fiord in lattitudo 80 minutes 30 seconds,
longitude 78 minutes 30 seconds, Lieutenant
Lockwood saw the northern shoro termination
some twenty miles west, and tho southern shore
extending tome tlfty miles, with Cape Lockwood
some seventy miles distant, apparently separate
land from Grinnel Land. I have named the new
land Arthur Land. Lieutenant Lockwood fol-
lowing anil going and returning on the ice, cape
averaging about 150 feet of perpendicular face.
It follow* that the Grinnell land interior is ice
capped with v belt of country some sixty miles
wide, between tho northern una southern ice
capes. In March, 1884, Serg. Long, while huut-
ing, looked from the northwest side of Mount
Carey to Hayes Sound, seeing on the northern
coast three rapes westward of furthest seen by
Nariss in lS7ti. The sound extends some twenty
miles further west than shown by the English
chart, but is possibly shut in by lund, which
showed up across the western end. The two
yeara of station duties, observations, all explora
tions and rutreat to (ape Sabine, were accom-
plished without loss of life, disease, serious ac-
cident or even sovere frost bites. No scurvy was
experienced at Conger, and but on^ death from
it occurred last winter.

Proteus disaster, and that no provisions hud been
left for us from Cape Isabella to Sabine, moved
and established winter quarters at Camp (.'lay.
half way between Subin,' and Cockedhat. An in-
ventory showed that by a daily ration of four and
one third ouuee of meat, seven ounces of bread

left for crossing Smith Sound ta
Littleton Island. Unfortunately Smith
Sound remained open the entire
winter, rendering a Croeaing impracticable.
Game failed, despite daily hunting. From early
February, before the sun returned, only .".00
pounds of meat were obtained this year. Minute
sea weed, sassafras, rock lichens and sealskin
were resorted to for food with icsults as show by
the number of suryivors. 'I'll*

GEO. KENNAX INTUVIEWEU.
Washington, July 17. — Mr. {^eorge Kennan,
of this city, a well known arctic traveler and au
thor, who has taken an active intorest in the re-
cent attempts to relieve Lieutenant Greoly's
party, aud who went before the arctic relief
board last spring, to urge the offerings of such
reward as would secure the co-operation of
whalers in search, was asked by the Associated
Press reporter to-night what he thought of tho
news received from St. Johns. He replied:
"It is a story of remarkable and heroic achieve-
ment in a field clouded by disaster, due to -in-
competence in Washington. If Greely and his
party had all roturned iv safety to the United
States, as they might have done, had they b<jen
properly supported, their arctic record in point of
skillful management and success, would
have been unparalleled. No other Arctic expe
dition has ever spent two consecutive wintors
and a part of a third in such high latitudes, and >
achieved such results without a casualty or single
case of serious sickness. If Lieut. Greely had
found at the mouth of Smith's sound the shelter
and food which he had a right to expect there, he
would probably have brought his entire party
to the United States in perfect health, after three
winters in the highest northern latitudes that has
ever been reached, and after a series of sledding
campaigns which, for boldness and skillful cxc-
cution, has rarely if ever been surpassed.
"Could the disaster which befel<this party have
been avoided with the knowledge available at the
time the relief expeditions were fitted oat!"'
"Unquestionably, and that is the pity of it.
It doubles tlie grief which must be felt in the
face of such a terrible catastrophe, to think that
the ships on two successive years, and probably
a third, were in a position to land .stores, which
would have saved the lives of those eighteen
dead men. Beehe, in 1882, anchored in the har
bor, just north of Cape Sabine, with a ship full
of stores. Garlingtou, the ' next summer,
anchored in the same place, also with a ship
full of stores, and 'a few daya
later - the "S antic, with four months
provisions on board, was only thirty miles away.
Any one of these three ships might have landed
stores enough exactly where Greely afterwards
made his winter camp, to have carried that brave
party through, but their commanding officers
were not ordered to do so, and they did not think
of it." •>
"Were Groely's inovnients those which it was
anticipated he would mako?"
"They were precisely such as I anticipated.
It was thought at the 6ignal offlce that he would
.remain at his station until September 1, but as I
pointed out • in a letter to the
Now York Herald, on the 17th of last September
iflie remained until September he could not get
away ut all that year, on account of the impracti
cability of sledding operations along that coast hi
the fall. . I therefore thought he would abandon
his station in July or August, 1838, and come
down to the mouth of Smith's sound in boats, as
he was in fact doijtg at the very time my letter
was written. It was, of course, a terrible shock
and disappointment to him when he failed to find
the shelter find food which he expociod, but the
party seems to have faced tho
terrors of an arctic winter without, shelter, lire or
adequate food, in the most heroic way, and to
have held on to the last with unflinching courage
and tenacity. If four hundred more rations
could have been saved from the wreck of the
Proteus, they would have carried the whole party
through — all •but one of the dead perished last
spring after the 4th of April."
"If Lt. Garlingtou had landed stores ou his
way north at Littleton lalaud, in accordance with
what were known us his "supplementary instruc
tions," would such stores have been of any use
to Lieut. Greely?" •
"As it turned out not the slightest. There
were a few hundred rations on Littleton Island,
but Greely could not get' across the tossinjj ice
to Smith's sound to avail himself of them. The
place to land stores, as repeatedly pointed out by
Dr. Hoadley, Mr. Merrinm and others, aud as
shown by the example of Nare's expedition, was
the western coast of the sound, the coast that
Greely must comedown, not oposite the coast
which ho pii3ht never reach. It is to the caches
made by the British expedition of 1875 on the
we.-tern coast that the few survivorts of Greely's
party mainly owe their lives."
"How important are the discoveries made by
Lieut. Greely?"
"From a point of view on 'arctic geography
they are of first class importance. Lieut. Greely
has not only taken away from Commander Mark-
ham, of the British navy, the blue ribbon on
arctic discovery for the highest latitude ever at-
tamed in any part of the world, but ho has
greatly extended the limits of Nares'explorations
both in Greenland and Grinnell Land, aud has
given a severe blow to Captain Nares' "Palace
crystic ice" and the theories which tho latter
founded , upon it. The fact
that two of Greely's sledding parties wore stop-
ped by open wnter in the polar basin, and that
both were at times adrift on strong currents
which threatened to carry thorn helplo*»ly away
northward, would seem to show thu polar basin
is not the solid sea of ancient innuovableice
wqich Nares describes, and which he declared
was "never navigable." Lieut. Greely's explo-
rations extended over three degrees of
latitude and nearly forty degrees
of longitude. He has virtually ascer
tai ned the true outline of Grinnell,' has crossed
from east to west and on the northern coast of
Greenland has gone one degree of latitude and
tenJJ degrees of longitude beyond the farthest
point reached by Captain Nares and the accom-
plished sledging offlcor, Lieut. Beaumont.
These achivements reflect the highest credit upon
Greely aud his men, but to s them must
of course be added the great muss of scientific
knowledge gathered by the party during their
two years at Lady Franklin Bay, the records of
which have fortunately boon saved. When these
observations shall have been collated And put in
order, they will, I think, be found not second in
importance to any furnished by the circle of in-
ternational polar stations.
Watterson Corrected.
Denver. Col., July 17. — MJlcoru Hay, of
Pennsylvania, who was the chairman of the
committee on resolutions of the Democratic
national convention during the whole deabera-
tion, and now here, states that Henry Watterson
in his Louisville speech last night reported by the
associated press misrepresented the motion of
Hay to strike out the word "exclusively" from
the platform as being a protectionist move.
It way, at the time the motion was made, ex-
preasly stated that all agreed to the truth of the
constitutional dm trine, and that federal taxation
should be exclusively for public purposes and
that the motion was made solely to avoid any
possible injury to the party from misunderstand-
ing or misuse of the particular word, that it was
unnecessary to a full and complete statement of
truth and the sentence iv which it occurred^
and its retention therefore only be harm-
ful as unnecessary words in a platform usually
were. The only protection sought was Walter-
son's pride in phrases.
Mistook Ant Poison for Custard.
[Special Telegram to the Globe. |
Mit.watk.ee, July 17.— .A special dispatch
from Whitewater to the Erening Wl*CO**h. says
that Thomas Bingham, a very wealthy and
promineut farmer, living near there, "met a terri
ble death Ust night. The family had been using
a deadly poison to destroy ants, aud a piate of
the preparation was placed in the pantry. Last
night Mr. Bingham went to the pantry and mis-
taking the poison for custard ate it. Symptoms
I of poison at once developed and in less than an
hour Bingham was dead. Nothing could he
done to relieve his sufferings,- dnd his writhings
before death vrvro most pitiable to witness.
Fishermen Rescued.
St. Johns. X. F., July 17. — Twelve fishermen,
belonging to the Gloucester schooner Abbie A.
Morris, were rescued yesterday, forty miles east-
« tri of St. Pierre island, at the point or death.
The men left their vessel* ia six dories on tho
I moruiug of July S, ou Grand banks, to take up
their trawl*. The wind was blowing strong, and
j there was a dense fog. The crews got astray
and rowed shout for thirty hours, hoping to reach
the vessel, and then headed for St. Pierre, dis
tant about 200 miles. During four days and
nights they were without food, water or rest.
Three fishing vessels picked them up and took
them to St. Pierre. Their captain, Merris, and
the cook, drifted out to sea.
New Poolingl Arrangement.
New Yo»k, July 17. — The executive commit-
tees of the Baltimore and Ohio. Postal and
Bankers' and Merchant*' Telegraphnrompanies
met last night and agreed upon the details of a

Chicago, July 17. — Prices to-day favored the
bulls and a marked advance over yesterday's
closings was scored in everything except pork,
which is under Armour's thumb, and already §7
or $8 too high. The advance waa chiefly due to
a return of confidence consequent upon the belief
that no further troubles in the business world
result to drive prices down to-day as was the
case yesterday and the day before, In addition
reports of foreign grain markets were favorable
aud shipments from this point were largely in
excess of receipts. Grain opened strong under
these influences and an active demand from
shorts and the course of prices was steadily up-
ward, the closing prices on the
regular board being iiearly the highest
of the session. On the .'.fternoon board there
was less activity, the shorts having nearly all
covered, and prices settled back somewhat. In
the provision pit quite a good speculative busi-
ness was transacted. Offerings for future de
livery were fair and the demand was quite active
at times, especially from shorts. The feeling
was somewhat unsettled and prices fluctuated
considerably within it moderate range, though
averaging higher on the loading articles. The
market for both corn and hogs ruled higher,
which had some effect pn the market for hog
products. Foreign advices showed no particular
change in that quarter aud the eastern markets
were steadier in a general way.
Receipts were moderate aud the shipments of
all descriptions liberal.
In answer to an inquiry as to the price of pork,
a trader in provisions said: "'There has not
been a trade in it." This wus ut 11 a. m. "The
price of pork," continued the trader, "depends .
altogether upon how badly you waut it. If you
are a grocer and seii stuff to the lamber people
up in the woods, I believe I can skurry around
and get a little stuff pretty reasonably cheap.
Sf you're one of those gamblers "who was sill.
aough to sell pork, when ths panic was at it y
height at New York upou the theory that Philg
Armour was as weak, as sonje of the more
pretentious millionaires down east — Why, I guess
you'll have to pay a pretty good round "figure for
your pork."
Trading in whoat was active, and though main-
ly on local account there were more outside or-
ders than for some time past. The feeling was
somewhat unsettled, but prices averaged higher
under the influences noted above. The taking
of vessel room for 300,000 bushels also helped
the long side. In Kansas tho weather has beeu
damp and wet Eince Sunday, aud not dry enougn
yet to thresh. The indications are that Kansas
and Missouri farmers will sell freely at tho mar-
ket price, whatever that may be, but farmers iv
Indiana and Illinois will sell but slowly. The
market opened cc higher, ruled steady
for a while and then - advanced
'/ie more under free buying by
shorts. Later, however, the most urgent demand
had been satisfied, aud New York not reporting
to the early udvauce here, there was more to
realize, and prices declined ;4®?jc: but the
market again recovered later, advancing under a
good demand l>i(3l^ic, fluctuated nod finally
closed about lJic higher for August and Sep
tember, and lc higher for October than at the
closirtg session yesterday, the figure for August
being 84?ic, and for September 85^c. On the
afternoon board the feeling was easier. August
ranged at 83%£@83?ic, and closed at 84c, and
September ranged at M%(&S5%c, and closed at
85c bid.
Corn was active, especially on speculative ac-
count, and at times excited. The feeling was
unsettled. and prices considerably higher. The
market opened firmer and l/i<fy% higher, and nn-
der an active demand, the advance of yesterday
having brought out a large number of buying or-
ders, the inarkej improved iQ,l%c more; then,
when the most urgent demand from the shorts
was filled, declined about ?ic nnder large offer-
ings. Later there wus a rally of %(&lc and then
fluctuations to the close, which was l'/»c higher
for August, September and October — the closing
for August and September .being 54c\ and for
October 53c. Freight engagements were re-
ported for 100,0OO*>ushels. On the ufternoon
board prices were a shade easier.
Oats showed considerable more nctivity in the
speculative market and an unusual degree of in-
terest was suddenly developed, operators^bestow-
ing v good deal of attention , upon it, and the re-
sult wss a volume of business far exceeding that
done for some time past. Evidently the shorts
were covering, and for all future deliveries prices
ranged ;i®l'ic higher, while July was l*£c
above yesterday's close. The advance all round
was maintained to the close, which was at 27c
for August and ~Q%G tor September. On the
afternoon hoard trading was light and the market
a trifle weaker.
As usual there was very little doing in the
pork, and there is no. particular change to note in
the market.
A fair business was reported in lard, chiefly on
speculative account. The feeling was firmer
early iv the day and prices were advanced 10®
12Hc, but later a reaction set in and most of the
advance was lost. Offerings were fair and the
demnnd moderately active. August closed at
$7.20 and September at $7.35. Prices were a
shade easier !n the afternoon.
Trading v as moderately active in short ribs
and a stronger feeling prevailed. Offerings were
fair and the demand quite active. Prices ruled
somewhat irregular, advancing 15©20 c early, but
settling back again s©loc. and closing steady at
$7.75 for August and $7.80 September.
The cattle market was dull under the very
heavy receipts and all descriptions of cattle sold
lbwer. There is an increase of nearly 4,000 over
this time last week, about 3,000 of which are to-
day. The best fat cattle were slow and a strong
10®15c lower. Among the arrivals were several
droves of prime fat natives and a large nn'mber
of fair to good grass cattle. There was also a
large number of poor grassers and other common"
native stock that sold 30®40c lower than at the
opening of the week. There were about 100
cars of Texans. and 40 or 50 cars of Colorados
and Indian Territory cattle, which, with odds
and ends, would make nearly 200 cars of western,
northwestern and southwestern stock on the
market. Texans were 10®15c lower, making
the decline t!s@4oc for the week. Old cows,
common bulls, and all sorts of scrubby native
stock were 10C£15c lower, making the decline for
the week so far 30@40c. Stockers and feeders
quiet, with little or no change in prices. There
was a keen demand for fine assorted light, and
the best of these sorts sold at ">©loc higher dur-
ing the early hours of the morning, bnt later this
advance was mostly lost. Heavy sorts were only
barely steady on an average. An occasional car
load or so may have sold early at an advance of
sc, bnt the bulk went out at yesterday's prices.
Tbe general market closed raher tame. There
was only a limited demand for skips, colls, light
—light and throw outs, and prices were almost
nominal.
Geo. Brine said to-day : "Wheat is now cheap-
er than it has been in 25 years — actnaUy cheapei
for money. An advance will come like a thief in
the night."
J. W. Ramsey* Co. say: "At present the
feeling here is "bullish," and with gradually dp-
creasing stocks we would rather buy oa the soft
spots than sell. With limited wheat receipts
and a good shipping demand we can see but one
side to take on corn and that is the bnlL",
The Chandler- Brown Co. say : "In view of the
fact tbat it ia some months yet .before the corn i
crop of 1884 will reach the market, and that reli-
able advices aay that the stock of old corn is not
large, we believe that before long we wiU see a
substantial advance ip prices, notwithstanding
the fact that it is now relatively higher than any
other of the speculative articles.
Mihaine. Bodman A Co. say, "we think the
situation more favorable to the balls and
prices can easily be advanced another cent
I or two. We think foreign markets are in condi
tion to respond qoickiy to a national advance on
this side. We still advocate pnrchases on breaks
believing tbat this wheat must eventually seD
for more money for legitimate purposes."
McCormich. Rennet a. Day say : "The aenti-
(Elnbe*
ment is most bullish, and we think the long side-
on breuks the one .to follow, but .the short inter-
est has been greatly reduced, und it would not
surprise the writer to sec the matter Bag off.
Crop reports continue excellent and a free move-
ment of now, wheat will be likely to arrest any
material advance for the present.

NMW YORK.
| Special Telegram to the Globe.l
New Yohk, July 17. — It has been a dull and
comparatively dead stock market all duy. 'The
chauges are not sufficient to cause trepidation or
rejoicing on either side. In the
grangers St. Paul is up one per cent.
from tho lowest price but only % better than last
night and is about the same below / the opening.
Burlington is the same as yesterday. Illinois
Central is one per cent, better, preferred is off
lit, and Northwestern Ji lower. The Vander-
built stocks arp dull with a drop of one per cent.
in Michigan Central and only fractional changes
iv the othors including New York Central. In
connection with the latter it may be stated that
there was some pressure to sell the Trunk line
stocks this afternoon, in a report of cutting of
rates by the Nickel Plate. The Yanderbilt peo
ple deny that the cutting is material, but Lake
Shore sold down 1 ;i£ per cent, with a reacovery
later hut is now 1 per cent, better thau
yesterday's closing, a good many
shorts were willing to cover on the
break. Gould stocks have been let alone. The
only noticeable variations were in Missouri Pa-
cific, which sold off over 2 per cent., and is 1 per
cent, better than the bottom price. Western
Union varied leas, but is fractionally weaker than
yesterday.
Money ou good stock collateral to-day is of
. fered freely at 1 per cent. The abnormally low
rate of money is significant, as showing the
funds are awaiting confidence in the market, aud
seekiug call loan investment.
Stocks were inclined to drop a littlo during the
afternoon; business wa6 at a stund-still, and
rumors were scarce.
The activity in the grain markot led many to
forsake the stock" exchange and buy cereals, as
they offered more temptations in the way
of fluctuations. At the finish
the market for shares was
dull, uninteresting and without feature. The es
timated earnings of the Uuion Pacific for July
show a g.-oss loss of $-100,000 and net of $000,
- The treasurer says he has money enough
to meet the August interest. Omaha earnings
the second week in July, decrease $5, C00; -North-
western, same time, $37,700; Northern Pacific,
same tioie. 3^6,355 (estimated).
Loaning rates werrj: Sew York Central, 3-32!s ;

Northern Pacific preferred flat; Nort he western,
St. Paul, Pock Island, Hat to 1-64; Burlington &
Hudson, 1-04.
A. M. Day says: "The market has been dull,
with little news of importance and with none of
the large operators active. The resr.lt has been
narrow fluctuations under room -trading. St. Paul
has been the feature again, but shows
little change for the day beyond continued
activity by the pool. Lake Shore has weakened
a little in rumors of cut rates, aud Western
Union, the Baltimore & Ohio combination and
Union Pacific on a reported decrease of earnings.
Brokers connected with the St. Paul government
say the stock is under good control and will be
advanced when the proper time- comes. Details
of the pooling arrangement between the Balti-
more & Ohio, Postal and Bankers' & Merchants
Telegraph companies have been agreed upon. It
is said to be a working poorfor twenty-five years
aa a basis of about equal division of receipts.
Each company will maintain a sepaiate organiza
tion. The pooling will include land and cable
business. All offices will be consolidated and the
lines will touch about seventy-five of the Western
Union paying points.
The Indianapolis Banks.
Indianapolis, July 17. — There wus a mild re-
newal of the financial excitement here to-day, re-
sulting in a small run on the private banking
house of A. ir J. C. S. Harrison. It was under-
stood the bank was in distress, and a meeting of
the cleariug house wa* held for the purpose of
determining whether assistance should be ex-
tended. Before action could he taken J. C. S.
Harrison arose and in positive terms declined as-
sistance. He then returned to his place of busi-.
ness, where quite a crowd of depositors bad as-
sembled. Harrison made an address, Sny ing the
bank's resources were ample to pay all debts,
avowing willingness to pay percentage demands
where money was absolutely needed, and declar-
ing he would not be driven to the wall. Pay-
ments were made during the day in accordance
with this rule, and while unsatisfactory the de-
positors were compelled to be content. During
the afternoon Harrison announced that to-mor-
row all checks will be honored. If not for their
full face, at least sufficient for immediate needs.
Harrison to-day refused payment of clearing
house checks to the amount of $20,741. The
checks were proiested, and the bank ruled out
of the association. The bank is comparatively a
small concent.

of cholera here, except that caused by the
numerous and rapid means of communication
with a portion of Enrope, ani the fact tbat
there is alwaya danger of cholera when
there are any cases in the world. Dr. Hamilton

might reach the United States ten days after Its
appearance in France, and might never come.
The only safe way was to prepare for the worst."

the Democratic party to achieve success. The

before the nation whose names
had inspired confidence and whose popularity —
services were such as to draw a large number ,
of votes from the ranks of the opposition ; when
the principles of right, as enunciated by the
party, were better understood, there would be a
steady acquisition from those who had opposed

The report was then adopted as amended.
On motion of,E. W. Durant, the temporary or
gan izot ion was made permanent.
The question of appointing a committee on
platform then came up, and Judge Atwater spoke'
in favor of adopting the platform us announced
at the national convention in Chicago.
'Mr. Eugene Wilson moved to amend hy adopt
ing the resolution passed at the state Democratic
convention. The amendment was/received, and
the motion adopted.
THE NEXT COKQRESSMA&.
The chair then announced that nominations for
a candidate for congress were in order.
Mr. John W. Willis, of St. Paul, arose and
said that he hud been deputed by his delegation
•to perform a most pleusant duty. In so doing he
was uot actuated by selfish purposds, but by a
desire to promote the redemption of our congres
sional ijistrict from the corrupt and malefic
domination of the Republican party, and believ-
ing that in one of the honored citizens of Hen-
nepin county ckn be discovered the leader bent
fitted for the present times and- circumstances,
we nomiuate, with one unanimous voice, the
Hon. Oi C. Merriman, of Minneapolis.
We thus present a candidate who has long been
a residont of the state, is familiar with its re-
sources, the various interests of our people
which cau be furthered\by congressional action,
nnd is possessed of that high capacity and stern
Integrity which will render him a 'most efficient
and upright representative. /
O. C. Merriman needs no . Introduction to this
convention, nor to the people of the Fourth con-
gressional district. He is widely known, and his
career ns a citizen has exemplified all of the vir
tues which compel admiration and in no less de-
gree inspire confidence and regard.-
We believe that his candidacy will enlist the
active support of all who desire a reform in the
administration of federal affairs, a reduction of
oppressive taxation and a relief from the many
political evils now unhappily prevalent. In this
view we ask the selection of O. C. Merriman as
the congressional candidate of the Democratic
party.
Mr. Durant said it gave him much pleasure, as
a representative from Washington county, to
second tie nomination of Mr. Merriman, and in
so doingme paid that gentleman a graceful com-
pliment.
Mr. Markham, of Kanabec, moved to make
the nomination unanimous.
Jud^-e Atwater -arose and made an ardent
speech in behalf of the nominee. He gave a
brief sketch of his career both as an eminent
advocate, a spotless politician and a business
man of unswerving integrity. No breath of sus
picion, he said, bad ever stained his record, and
to-day he was called by the united voice of the
people, Republicans as well as Democrats. 'A
glowing tribute was paid Mr. Merriman, and the
speaker alluded In a sincere and ardent manner
to the duties devolving on' the young Demecracy
of the state.
They were advised that the time-honored flag of
the party was submitted to their trust — a flag,
that while often defeated, had never been dis-
honored. The speaker thought that the election
of Mr. Merriman was a foregone conclusion ; hjs
success waß almost certain. Hennepin expected
to reverse the record, and give him a majority of
of from 1,000 to 8,000.
He was equally the choice of Ttamsey county,
which would not begrudge him her 3,000 votes,
while Washington county would roll up such a
vote as would teach the friends In the Republican
camp that a county could not be disfranchised
and go unrevenged. (Applause.) In conclusion
the speaker predicted complete success for the
ticket in November.
The nomination of Mr. Merriman was then
made by acclamation.
On motion, Messrs. Lienau, Dnrant and At-
water Were appointed a committee to wait on Mr.
Merriman and notify him of his nomination. As
the nominee wos not in the city the committee
was given further time.
Dr. Ames, of Hennepin, moved the appoint-
ment of a congressional committee, one from
each county andone at large, to serve for the en-
suing two years. Carried. The chair wiU ap-
point the committee at the proper time.
Ex-Senator Mills moved that the convention
ratify the nominations mode at the national con-
vention in Chicago. The motion unanimously
prevailed, when the convention adjourned.
Ignatius Donnelly a Candidate Against
Strait
[Hastings Union.]
This year Mr. Donnelly is proffered to the party
as a man who possesses the power and the^fefflty
to overthrow the forcep of Strait. It is almost
universally admitted that there is not ah ont and
out Democrat in the district who can defeat
Strait. The nomination of one would be only a
repetition of past forces. This year it is a ques
tion of principles and not party, and Mr. Don
nelly, without being .a Democrat in
the strictest sense of the - word,
represents in the broadest sense every
principle that the Democratic party
is contending for to-day, and in support of which
it will elect a president next November. Is he
then unworthy of thsir support? Who is super
ior to bimi "Who can wield the influence that he ■
can? 'Whose- brain is better stored with the
varied accumulation of knowledge that mokes a
statesman? Whose name so moves the masses
to enthusiasm? "Who can cany foorvotes ont of
every five in Dakota county, but he? Who
can sweep the district from one end to tbe other
by the magic power of eloquence and the
strength of a man that towers head and shoulders
above his fellow men In intellect? Not a maa
in tho distriot can do It but Donnelly. Is lt a
time thon for the Demoetacy to hesitate, to
quibble and quarrel over party matters, when a
man like him can and will lead the party, on the'l
grandest platform pver made, to victory? Mr.
Strait can be beat, but only With a united Demo-
cracy and the support of the Independents. It:'
is time he was defeated. The people demand it.
Will the Democrats skulk again, like cowards '
and refuse to face a weakened foe. ■
KANSAS REPUBLICANS
In Convention at Topeha Yesterday—
The Platform and Ticket
Col. Martin, of The Atchison "Champion,"
Nominated For Governor.
Topeka, Ks., July 17. — The convention as-
lembled again this forenoon, after which Judge
J. C. Strong, chairman of the committee on res-
olutions, presented the report With remarks. It
wras the unanimous action of the committee and
had been arrived at through a desire for harmony
and in the spirit of convention.
The platform is as follows:
Resolved, That the Republicans of Kansas
proudly meet iv convention to-day to rejoice over
the victories of the principles that have glorified
our' career since we first met at Osawatamie
twenty-five years ago. Kvery promise then
made has been grandly redeemed . We have
made Kansas free and the nation free, and have
kept step to the music of the Union in taking
■ the lead in every measure that has secured hu-
man rights and elevated morals and citizenship.
Resolved, That we indorse and ratifythe nor
n of Jas. G. Blame and John A. Logan,
the first citizen of the republic and the brave.
and gallant Union soldier, and we pledge to them
the largest majority ever^given to onr national
standurd bearers.
Rexotced, That the national Republican plat-
form meets with our hearty and enthusiastic in-
dorsement as the best statemeut.of living prin
ciples ever presented to the American people.
Its firm position in adherence to protection of
American industry, in demanding the enforce-
ment of the inalienable rights of man, in op-
posing land monopoly and corporate monopoly,
meets with our cordial approval.
Resolved, That prohibition bas, by a vote of
the people, without distinction of party, been
adopted as an orguuic law in this state.
Resolved, That we favor the faithful and hon
est enforcement of the constitutional amendment
that the full effects of prohibition may be real-
ized, that the declared will of the people may be
respected and that the majesty of the law be yin-
dicated.
Resolved, That as under the constitution and
laws of the state, all errors and irsegnlarities of
the inferior courts may be corrected by proper
proceedings in the supreme court, a tribunal
now composed of members of both of the great
political parties of the stote, the recent action of
Governor Glick, iv exercising the pardoning
power to relieve guilty persons
from their just penalties of law
breaking, solely npon the ground nt alleged
wrongs aul irregularities existing at the trials,
when they have not sought a review/of their cases
in the supreme court, is an unwarranted assump
tion by the chief executive of the judicial power
of the state, and is an attempt to destroy the
confidence of the people in courts, thereby in- .
citing iawlbssnqss and disobedince to public
authority, and such conduct oh the part of the
governor, under solemn oath to obey the con-
stitution and enforce the laws, merits and de-
serves, tne condemnation of all citizens, irre
spective of party, affiliations and personal views
as ta policy of prohibition.
Resolved, That corporations derive all their
powers from states, and are responsible to the
state for the* manner in which they exercise such
powers. We demand that the present railroad
law be-so strengthened and amended as to ro-
move its cumbersome features, and to unequivo
cally vest in the board of railroad commissioners
all necessary power to accomplish the good sought
to be obtained, and to compel compliance with
reasonable orders of the board made with refer-
ence to those matters, as to which under the
provisions of said laws, such board has but an' ad-
visory jurisdiction. The railroad companies of
the state are entitled to fuhr and reasonable re-
muneration for services performed by them, but
they are not authorized and should not
be permitted to establish rates for the purpose of
obtaining a revenue to he applied iv payment of
dividends ou illegal and excessive issues of stock,
