ST. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 5.--rhe republican
state convention reassembled this morning, and
adopted platform, which, among other things
| declares that any conflict between labor and
| capital should be avoided by proper legislation
but in the event of a conflict, labor has para
mount demands upon our consideration
The seventh resolution is as follows That the
| republicans OF Missouri, in a convention largely
composed Of those who aided in the election to
| his present position of the governor OF this
state, do declare that as an executive he has
| failed to discharge the solemn obligations de-
Yolved upon him by the constitution; he has
| not enforced the laws, but anarchy and confu-
sion reign in many parts of the state, murdererS
and outlaws 60 unwhipped of justice and inno-
cence stands defenceless and powerless before
ITS enemies; while he, in neglect Of his duty and
in violation of his solemn OATH plots and in
trigues for personal and political preferment:
that his continued exhibitions of inefficiency
and lack Of official integrity have destroyed all
the confidence ever repoSed in his administrative
abilities and his sagacity as an executive officer;
and we emphatcally condemn every effort look
ing to his elevation TO position where, by the
remotest possibility, the enforcement of the laws
OF the nation may depend upon his will and
efforts.
The eighth resolution calls attention to the his
tory OF the republican party in Missouri which
came into power at time when the state was
disorgauized, law defed, treasury bankrupt.
and securities of the state dishonored; but with
in six years S17 900 900 in obligations had been
discharged, and the value of the state bonds
raised nearly fifty cents on the dollar.
The ninth calls attention to the history
of the reform party, which came into
power at time of peace, when
all departments of the government were
thoroughly organized and which within two
years had increased the debt of the state over
S2,000000, and depleted the treasury until the
current expenses of the government can no
longer be met. 1t has furthermore failed to pro-
tect its citizens originate a single measure
tending to improve either the government of the
state or the prosperity of the people.
The convention nominated the following
+. Leonard, Henry A. Glover, Geo. H. Shields;
Attorney General, jeff X. Chandler; Governor
Jno. B. Henderson, by reclamation; Lieutenant
Governor, John II. Slower; Secretary of State,
F. w. Vaerdes; Auditor, Dan O'Connor, by ac-
clamation.

The CoPPERAs WORKS NUIsANCE.-To the
Editor Of the Spy: The copperas works, which
short time ago were declared a nuisance on
Grove street, are, it IS understood, about to be
established on Lafayette street, near South
bridge street. If it was nuisance of such ma
ture as to render its suppression necessary in
a thinly populated portion of the city, is it not
more so in thckly and almost ovefcrowded
portion? Or are we more careful Of the dead
than of the living? The citizens will certainly
protest against it, but it is hoped the city fathers
by their timely intervention will render such
action on their part unnecessary. Us.

THEATRE.-The sale of seats for the fine
Shakesperian entertainment offered for Saturday
evening commences this morning. The compa-
ny has attracted large audiences in other cities.
Little need be said of Mr.. Barrett, who is one
of the very few leading actors in this country,
and requires no elaborate commendation. It is
sufficient testimony to his great merits that he
is thoroughly acceptable TO the patrons of
Booths theatre, and indeed to all critical audi
ences in New York. The Hartford Courant SAYS
"a very large audience witnessed his person.

masterpiece and delighted all present. His
support was admirable. Mr. Robinson as
'Brutus' and AIr. Shewell as Mark Antony gave
TO the play additional interest and character
Mr. Lowell has, in bringing SO GOOD a support
ing company here, justified the public in their
confidence in him as a manager" The Courant
farther says the Hartford people are to have the
pleasure of Witnessing Mr.. Barrett's mastery

HORRIBLE SITUATION,

The Mauch Chunk (Pa.) Democrat
Gays: 30 ,- -~
One Of the most heartrending a"ci-
dents that has happened In or about
coal works for years was that which
proved fatal to q mute boy. about four
teen years Of age, named Brennan,
near Carbondale, on Monday Of last
week. He was engaged In pushing
coarse coal into the teeth Of the
breaker. and by some mlsstep one foot
went with the coal and was caught BY
the teeth aud suddenly drawn and
crushed with the coal, until his body
filled tho mouth or opening above the
revolving iron breaker. and thus
stopped the revolutions Of the ma
chlnery. His cries brought many to
his relief In a few moments, but there
was no way to get him out but to send
to the machine shops for men and
tools to take the machinery apart and
allow the coal and the teeth to mll
away from the mangled leg. This
poor boy suffered the torlnents Of death
for nearly two hours before he wa
relieved, and then 1t was ascertaiued
that most Of his foot had been entirely
torn away. He only survived about
half an hour. The most remarkable
thing connected with this sad affair
was the fact that the boy, although a
mute, aud speeches. for life, actually
begged Of tho.e around him to get him
out quick. and prayed to God to spare
his life, rs fiuently and distinctly rs
could any boy. VIII some scientific
party explain the cause which gave the
power Of speech to this dying boyP

SPECULATIVE

In our editorial remarks Of day be-
fore yesterday we mentioned that there
were certain newspapers In this section
on tho alert AFTER the loaves and fishes,
and therefore keenly watching the
changing phases Of the political stu
alton. in order to know on which side
Of tho fence to drop. Our Virginia
correspondent Justice" in his COM
munication Of to-day In another COL
umn, inolines to the opinion that the
Virginia Chroaiels Is about declaring
itself In favor Of Greeley and Brown.
Justice" Is correct. The Chronicle
will do this within the next three
weeks; our authority says one week.
Not that We have any fault to find In
the matter, for we recorded It as a
Democratic paper when It first started,
BY reason Of Its apparent leaning In
that direction. Latterly, however, In
dlcations Of Greeleyism have been
coming into the face Of Its political
drift. and the raising Of the Greeley
and Brown flag At the head Of It's
columns will be an easy operation.
We do not mention this In any spirit
Of unklndness. or with the Idea that
such = course will be a disadvan-
tageous n to the proprietors. but
merely As an item Of public informa-
ton. We hardly think. however, that
the Chronicle will DO 90 Inconsistent as
to advocate Sutro for United States
Senator, or that It would be allowed
to do so. 1t Is nj opinion that the
Enterprise will not make another
G. o this season, but will continue
to advocate Jones for Senator and
Grant for President Although 1t does
not display the names Of Grant and
Wilson at the head Of Its columns, yet
We do not believe Il will come out for
Greeley and Brown.

An ASTONISHING FACT.

From the Truckee Republican, July sal
I'VE felt Inundated Yesterday, not
on our own account, but for the repu-
tatlon and good name OF Truckee. We
have had rather an exalted opinion Of
the morals OF the place, and have been
pridlng ourselt on the good example
our people have been giving the rest
Of the towns In the county In striving
to enforce the Sunday law and preserve
the sancity Of the Sabbath. But an
event which came under our obserya-
ton last evening Inundated US much
ly. We observed the following: A
reverend gentleman-or a gentleman
with a %reverentlal superintendent
ed one Of our leading stores and in
quired Of the proprietor II he had a
Bible for sale. The answer was In the
negative. 4 sort Of sad, painful
Amusement %overspread the mans face,
and he said: "Sir. I have called at
every store In Truckee to purchase n
Bible, but not u can | find. and
what Is still worse, several persons
profe&ed never to have heard Of the
sacred book. l am to hold religious
service here tonight, and cannot do
justice to my hearers without the scrip
ture. Ihave just counted thirteen sa-
looms In your town where liquid re-
freshments are served, but l cannot
count a single place where the word of
life Il kept to guide q wandering sln-
ner from destruction. Itremble when
I think OF the lost cities OF the plain
Sodom and Gomorrah." Folding his
hands OIL his breast In the form Of 4
cross, and shaking the dust from his
feet, he disappeared In the darkness.

We who do not hold nor expect to

preaching campaign. But where are
the Office holders? If they have any
desire to retain their offices, land when

have reaped the emoluments Of office,
must now prepare to disburse' freely.
