vindictive and slangy quar-
rel In his columns, with sundry and
various Republicans Of his county. as
was over witnes ssed in the State. Mr..
New bold has heretofore come in for
his full share of the abuse Of the Press,
and it, of course, still follows In tho
same mire and filth that il used to.
Tho editor of the Press is one of
those, who out of the purity of his
soul. rcgenerated by Democracy, seeks
reform from the Democratic party, and
to this end abandoned the Republican
party some three or four years ago.
He is now in active accord with the
Democratic party doing battle for it,
and judging from his reckless and
wanton falsehoods in regard to Mr..
Newbold, he is not unworthy of the
Democratic mantle he has put on.
Democratic editors, when they say the
Press is the home paper of Mr.. New.
bold. know they utter falsehood 1t
Is not Newbold's home paper-true it
is paper published in the county In
which he resides, but this in no sense
makes it his homo paper in the COM
mon acceptation OF the language. 1t
would be indeed a blessing to the
Press man, did ho possess . reasonable
part of the high reputation which Mr..
Newbold bears among the people Of
Henry county.

place. The llre-box was blown ont,

air was filed with flying fragments !;
heavy pieces Of iron fell all along tho
train, denolishing cars and endanger-
ing employees.
Beneath the ruins were found tho bod
les of James Stevenson, the fireman,
and Joseph Bonncll, the fiagmau.
The body Of the engineer could not
be found, aud it was not until after
midnight that il wss discovered, In Q
tree, on the summit Of hill which
rises 70 feet high, over 1000 feet away
from the locomtive. His watch hung
on limb by his side, stopped at eight
O'Clock. Every bone In his body was
broken, but his face was not injured

FROM Lue Cnicogo JOurnal.
1t is definitely announced that the
fast mail train between New York and
Chicago, the advantages (which the
Journal. set forth . short time ago,
will be put In motion the lst Of Octo-
Der. The time required to make the
trip now 10 thirty-six hours. 1t will
bo reduced 10 twenty-six, il not to
twenty-f -four, hours. In speaking Of
this important step In postal reform,
the New York Tribune says:
"The amount Of mail matter to be
carried by this train will be enormous.
There viii be four large postal cara, Of
improved construction, capable Of car
rying thirty-five tons of matter, and
1t 10 thought by the department the
amount to DO carried win reach forty
five tons before the expiration OF six
months. The greater part Of the
work Of distribution win be done ON
the cars. Newspapers will be taken
In by the bundle and folded and dis
tributed en- route. Relays OF clerks

not cost one cent additional expense,
the railroads having met the Govern.
ment In the most generous spirit.

ST. PAUL, July 2S.-The Republican
State Convention met here to-day.
Tho following Is synopsis of the plat
form adopted:
The party principles are reaflirmed
that q policy of finance is favored
which shall steadily keep in view a
return to specie payment; tariff
strictly for revenue, yet so adjusted as
to be the least burdensome and the
most favorable to the interests ofhome
industry railway and other corpora
tious must be held In just subjection
to law making power constitutionally
exercised. The Republican party ia
cordially endorsed In it's principle of
fostering the agricultural, industrial
and commercial interests of the cOun
try by judicious system of internal
improvements. and a reduction in the
cost of interstate commerce. The
Republican party deserve credit for
securing the first time from foreign
governments full and complete recog-
milton of the rights of citizenship in
reversal of monarchical doctrine.

The Convention made no nomina-

resolution that, believing such choice
should be above party considerations,
it was merely recommended that the
present incumbent, Judge James Gil
fillan. be reelected ss one pre-cmin-
entity fitted for the position.
The nominations Are considered
great victory for the regulars over tho
Davis faction. Every nominee was q
strong friend of Ramsey during the
Senatorial contest last winter.

Roporto from phiIa a a1phsa >,n A. .,

Progress OF tho Centennial Building
Reports from Philadelphia are that
those having tho centennial prepara-
ton in charge are getting on remark
ably with the buildings. The work
remaining to be done in the next nine
months does not equal In magnitude
what has been accomplished since
ground Was broken on the 4th of July
1874, and the facilities for doing Il are
incomparably better than they were
then.
The hugo main building advances SO
rapidly over the ground prepared for
it that its growth can plainly be no.
ticed day by day. All of the iron
frame work Of the east wing is in
place, and two.shirds of that of the
west. More than half OF the root 10
on; large part of the work on the
walls, which are OF brick for about s
feet from the ground, and of glass in
heavy sash above, is completed; and
the foundation for the floor isl just
going down. The facadcs at both end Q
Of the building and the central
structure, with its four towers and
two grand portals, will be the last
portions to be finished.
Enough has been done already on
this immense edifice to demostrato the
advantages of its plan. In walking
through the newly completed portions
one can sec what advantages its sim.
pie parallelogram form will afford in
the classification and arrangement OF
goods, the easy circulation Of throngs
Of visitors along the broad, straight
avenues, and in the striking vistas
opening down the long nsves. In ito
exterior appearance the building will
have to depend for architectural effect
chiefly upon its imposing dimensions,
but Its interior 10 better adapted for
tho purposes Of An international exhi-
biti0n than either OF tho structures
that sheltered the great worlds fair OF
Europe.

This iwhat the homo paper of Mr..

the elevation d the schools. and to the
highest Interests of tho state uniyersi-

fanaticism of crusader. A ferocious
opponent OF proper legislation upon
tao liquor question, he was always,
while in the house, a champion of that
line OF fanatical prohibitory statutes,
against which tho common sense Of
the people has at last revolted.
