The Other Side.

Some weeks since we referred TO the
complaints We had received from our sub
scribers at Black River Falls, Wisconsin,,
about the non-receipt of their papers,
stating that the Postmaster, OF his subor-
dinates had refused TO deliver the ADvo-
CATE on several occasions. We have since
received letter from the Postmaster Of
that town, denying in toto the charges, and
as we have no desire TO injure any oficial
we give him the benefit Of such denial
We beg leave to assure him, however, that
we have six complaints from that Office
on fle-one Of them coming from sub
Scriber whom be uses as a reference.

has been nominated for the Ohio Leg isla-
ture, by the Cleveland Republican Conven-

seen him in the field as Labor Reform
candidate, we cannot but despise the petty
malignity of Chas. Wilson, of the Brother

cure his defeat Mr.. Wilson is certainly
making for himself an unenviable record,
and unless we are much mistaken, his race
As representative trades unionist is nearly

MINERS NATIONAL CONVENTION

As the time draws near for the assem-
bling of the Miners National Convention,
at Youngstown, Ohio, We hope the miners
Of the West, and especially those If Hi
nois, viii see to it that they are represent
ed in good round numbers Let no Lodge
miss sending its delegate for it will be one
of the most, if not the most important
meeting Of miners which has taken place
n the history Of mining organizations, and
the future Of the miner depends good deal
upon what will be the nature of their de-
alterations at the Youngstown conference
This certainly ought to induce the IN
duce the miners Of all the great West to
elect delegates The miners Of Youngs-
town have done their duty. Let the miners
of Illinois send their best men, and they
need not fear the result

of President Cannon, the death Of Mr..
David Shelter, representative from New
burg, N. Y, at the last session of the

from being well, but we little expected,
when we shook him by the hands and bid
him good bye that the grim monster was so
close on his heels. Mr.. S. had been long
identified with the Cigar Makers Union,
and was generally known for his uniform
courtesy, manhness and unhinching union

agrseably, it would be invidious to make
distinctions, We cannot omit referring to
the kindness shown by Msssrs. Lsmkie,
Dridams and Etsler The delegates all slept
soundly, but many inquiries were made at

tical experience Of several gentlemen who
had evidently labored under the hallucina-
ton that they were in command Of first

POLITICAL.
Sinoamy last there has been q consi d.
erabls movement in the political circle
The Republicans have held their primary
meetings, and elections for delegates to the
different Conventions. They have organized
in all the wards in the city, and elected q
city convention also State convention,
which met the other day in Frederick City
and nominated . straight out Republican
State Ticket We have only two State
oficsrs to vots for this fau, that il State
Comptroller and Clerk Of the Court Of Ap-
peals. There was considerable wrangling
among them in their different elections
There are two factions in the party one
that il the Federal Office holders, and
those out Of Office comprise the other 9ac-
ton but the office holders carried the
day. In some Of the wards there was a
Irzer number of votes in the box than
we're cast, the result of stuffing the ballot
box TO defeat the outs, and . colored ele-
ment which is also opposed to the Custom
Mouse faction. They claim that the Offices
an met fairly distributed. They are the
laJts majority of the Republican voters in
the State, but in the appointment Of the
Government officers they only received .
fsw minor positions, while the white. self
styled leaders have appropriated all the
good places for themselves, and ignored thu
eolored portion Of their party.
Until now when the election In approach
ling they are again in the field endeavoring
10 marshal their forces for the contest, in
Which. the3theem 10 DO confident Of success.
There Are also two other political elements
i'm the cRy, besides the Democratic and Re
publicsn. viz the Local Option and the

independence of the Khanate. A portion of
the territory of Khiva is to be taken by the
Russians and handed over to Bokhara in
return for assistance rendered by its ruler to
the imperialist invaders. Such is the sub
stance OF the new Russo-Asiatic treaty. If
the Khan OF Khiva has been made indepen-
dent under Russian guarantee he has positively
gained by the war but it is more likely that
he practically becomes the subject of Russia.
The Gar is, as it appears, determined to try
the efficacy of the diude ct impera system
