CHAOS COME AGAIN.
Comments Of Leading Ohio Papers on
the Result of the Columbus
Liberal Convention.
Republican Triumph Now CertaiR-The
Peoples Wishes Defeated by
Rival Politicians.

CINCINNATI, July 3l.-This morn
ing's Commercial comments editOrially
on the proceedings of the convention
held at Columbus yesterday, as follows:
"a chapter of political history of i'm
portance to the nation was made at CO.
lumbus yesterday. Fair and full express
sion was given the profound public dis
satisfaction with the Republican as the
administration party, and with the DEM
OcrRtic party as the opposition. A third
party was in good faith put in the field.
The stroke of business done was of the
most serious character. A platform,
containing great deal that was excel
lent, was adopted; ticket that is strong
was nominated; no negotiations were
carried on; the trading politicians were
left out in the cold"
The Enquirer editorially says: TO
sum up, the new party which comes to
rs with flourish of trumpets, is but
weak and puny affair. The meagre
convention, the indifference with
which its action is received, and the
character and antecedents of its partici-
pants, all go to prove that the Oft-re-
peAted declaration that there was great
popular demand for new party was but
a delusion and a snare. 1t is not peO-
pies movement, and it will never be-
come peoples party. The managers,
through their platform, propose nothing
that cannot be obtained through the re-
liberalized and mOdernized
Democratic party. We look upon this
now as but an insurrection
among the quartermasters and contract
ors Of the Democratic party. Their
efforts will be mainly directed against
that organization, but it will rise supe-
rior to their assaults. 1t is understood that
the founders Of the new party ask no
hliation or corporation with the Demo-
cratic party. Let us see to it, then, that
they do not receive any. The Democra-
cy on the sixth Of August can nominate
a good ticket and adopt a platform
which will be indOrsed by every true re-
former in the State. With our consent
the ticket nominated on that day
will contain the name Of no man nOmi-
mated at Columbus yesterday. We coun-
selled and labOred for harmony and
peace between men claiming to labor for
A common cause, but the leaders of the
new party have tasted of the insane
-Oot, and they have declared war upon
he Democratic organization. 1t is not
'eady to surrender to a handful of pOliti-
al adventures, and it will assert itself
lpon the sixth after the old manner, and
,lOthe itself with new glory"

Boston, July 31.-At half-past three
this afternoon a fire broke out in a build
ing Of the National dock and warehouse
company, on Lewis street, East Boston,
which was entirely consumed with its
contents. 1t was large brick building,
two hundred and fifty feet long by fifty
wide, and was used entirely for storage
purposes; it was also a bonded ware
house. The second story and attic were
filled with consignments Of jute, hemp
and gunny-clOth and gunny-bags. The
ground-fOOr and basement were nearly
filled with large amount Of sugar and
saltpetre, all the property of large
number of owners here and in New
York. The building was owned by the
National dock and warehouse company,
and valued at seventy-five thousand
dollars, and fully insured. 1t is esti-
mated there were four hundred thousand
dollars worth of property stored in the
building. The loss will be three hun
dred thousand dollars. The insurance
cannot now be ascertained. The fire
was undoubtedly caused by spontaneous
combustion.

The German Teachers, Convention

ST. LOUIS, July 3l.-A good portion
of the session of the German teachers

central committees were appointed for

The St. Louis Mutual Insurance Com.
pauy MuddIe.
ST. LOUIS, July 3l.-Great dissatisfae-
tion sprang up last night with the ticket
nominated for the new board of direct
ors of the st. Louis Mutual life insurance
company by State agents and part of
the St, Louis policy-holders, and a meet
ing was held this morning and a ticket
called the "true reform ticket,U which
entirely ignores the old board, was nom
mated. The old administration also has
ticket out upon which is Charles H.
Peck, the former president. There is
also another ticket, making four in all.
The election excites much interest, and
the building of the company is crowded
with voters.
The election to-day for a new board of
directors of the st. Louis Mutual life
insurance company was a spirited affair,
and excited a good deal of interest.
Thirteen thousand six hundred and
twenty-three votes, out of fifteen thou
sand three hundred and twenty, are said
to have been cast, but the result of the
election will not be officially promul-
gated for day or two. Although there
were four tickets in the field, the con-
test was really between two of them
what was known as the Peck ticket,
mainly in the interest of the old admin
istratiOn, and the State agents ticket.
The latter was not supported by all the
State agents, as several of them, at the
last moment, espoused the cause of the
old administration party. 1t is stated
by the refOrmers that their course will
not be changed by the election, but that
the suits now pending will be vigorously
prosecuted until the true condition Of
the affairs of the company are definitely
ascertained before the courts.

Another "seeesh'' Failure.

FORT WAYNE, July 31.-SOme time
since the people of the southern part of the
city, to escape the city taxes, petitioned
the county commissioners for incorpOra-
ton as an independent town. The petit
ton was referred, and an appeal was
taken to the circuit court, Judge Stack,
of Huntington passing on a change of
venue. The case was thoroughly argued
last week, but the judge reserved his de-
eision till yesterday. 1t was against the
appeal and in favor of the city. The
case will be carried to tie supreme court,
but the joke is that South Wayne, which
would probably have remained outside
the city limits for several years, has been
incorporated by the city council, and
has to pay its share of the city taxes.

tions were adopted on the transpOrta-

is one demanding that farming property
be taxed as railroad property is, upon
basis of its income; or that railroad prop

on basis of value, Independent of in
