Democratic State Conventions.

Democratic State Conventions.
Washington, June 12.-The Democratic
State Conventions of Kansas and Iowa seem
to be overwhelming in favor of the Cincin-
natl platform and nominees. The Kansas
resolutions contain this paragraph: But
when lawless ambition and imbecility, cor
ruption and man-worship dominate party,
it is the duty of all citizens, without regard
to previous political affiliations, to Join their
hands and hearts in any effort to go to such
party and drive its leaders from power.
The Iowa delegates were instructed
to act as a unit. The convention resolved
that the principles cnunciated by the late
Cincinnati convention taken in connection
with the letter of Horace Greeley's accept
ing the nomination, constitutes platform
on which all elements of opposition to the
present corrupt Federal government can
stand.
indianapolis, June u. = The district
delegates had caucuses last night and elected
delegates to the Convention all favorable to
Greeley and Brown. In the Terre Haute

lost, ayes 76, noes 90. Geo. w. Julian
said in the Liberal Republican caucus to-day,

How JUDGE DAVIS BECAME RICH. -
Judge Davis, of Illinois, is rich man.
About thirty-ive years ago, when Judge
Davis was a praeticing lawyer in the west,
he was employed by Connecticut man to
collect $500. Davis went to the place where
the debtor lived and found him to be rich
in landed possessions, but without spare
dollar in money. He finally settled the
bill by giving deed for the tract of land
fiat, moist, and undesirable piece of land
in appearance, lying close by sheet of wa
ter, and consisting, perhaps, of sixty acres.
Davis subsequently met his Connecticut
client in st. Louis, when the latter (who
seems not to have possessed the usual Con-
necticut shrewdness) fell to and gave him a
regular "blowin up" for taking the land,
rather than insisting upon the $500 in
cash; he didn't want any of your western
land. and he told Davis that having accept
cd it in payment for the debt, he had better
keep it himself, and pay over the money
out of his own pocket. To this Davis agreed.
Stepping into a friend s place of business he
borrowed $500, took the Connecticut mans
receipt for the land, and held the land for o
rise. That piece Of land now forms part OF
one of the suburbs of Chicago. Judge
Davis has sold two or three hundred thou
sand dollars worth of it, and has nearly a
million dollars worth of it left. 1t is o
striking example of what the possession OF
western property has done for its holders.

ing, prescribing that the election of all city
officers shall hereafter take place at the
first meeting of the Council in July, and
their term of Office shall extend for two
years, except the clerk in the office of
treasurer, who shall be elected for three
years, was adopted.

mortal Association and the trustees of the
Hebrew cemetery for the introduction of
water into the cemetery, was granted.
The petition Of number of German cit
liens asking that one of the vacancies in
the school board be filled by the election of
a German born citizen, and recommending
Mr.. G. A. Peple for said position, was

ating $500 for st. Paul's Church Home was

The General Council Of Indians in the H.
dian Territory have sent memorial to the
President of the United States, in which they
earnestly protest against being interfered with,
in the face of the most stringent treaties, in
the possession of their lands by those unscru-
pulous land grants, which have of late become
so notorious in Congress- The petition is
couched in very strong and logical terms, and
recapitulates the sufferings Of the red men
from the time they were driven from their
homes east of the Mississippi River and trans
ferred to wild country, which they have since
reclaimed and in which they have made
great strides in civilization. Schools have
been built, farms laid out and churches
established, and although the terrible
civil war made sad havoc with
the Indian country, yet they faithfully adj
herod to their obligations in the many treaties
entered into between them and the govern
ment at Washington. But now they are in
danger of losing all their hard earned posses
sions by those infamous land grabbers, who
wish to devour the entire West and South by
their Unsuitable rapacity. No wonder that
