san, and were the means of getting up
harmony and good feeling. Mr.. Kelley
of New York wanted to present testimo.
malls as to the good character Of the
persons from that state who were oppos.
ing the nomination of Gov. Tilden, but
the chair ruled them out. The COM
mittee on resolutions announced that
they would not be able to report till in
the afternoon, SO the convention took a
recess till that time. In the afternoon
as soon az the convention was called to
order the committee on resolutions made
q report, and on the financial question
there were two reports which brought on
an exciting contest. At times it was
impossible for the chairman to preserve
order, but when a vote was reached,
under the previous question, the green
back men were showed under and the
majority report was adopted. A victory
for the Tilden men.

presentation of candidates took place,
those presenting the names of candi.
dates making forcible and eloquent
speeches. The names of Bayard, Hen
bricks, Joel Parker, Tilden, Bill Allen
and Hancock were submitted for the
consideration of the convention. On the
first Ballot Tilden received 1927 votes.
On the second ballot as the call OF the
roll proceeded gains for Tilden were
apparent, when a great uproar COM
menced and State after State, in spite of
the efforts of their leaders, cast their
votes for Tilden amid great excitement
and cheering. Out of 7SS votes cast on
the second ballot Tilden received $50.
Tilden's nomination was made unani-
nous, when the convention adjourned
till Thursday. On the reassembling of
the convention Thursday Gov. Hendricks
of Indiana was nominated for the Vice
Presidency.

HISTORICAL.

Topeka, KAs., June q, 1876.
The officers and directors of the Kan.
sas State Historical Society, haye observ-
ed with interest the fact that in most Il
the counties, ard in many towns in the
State local historical sketches are in
course of preparation, to be presented to
the people at the approaching celebra-
ton of the Centennial anniversary of
American Independence. Thus the en-.
tire history of the State will be revised
and brought up to the present time.
Most of the sketches will doubtless be
printed, either in book or pamphlet form
or in the local newspapers. 1t is very
desirable that these printed sketches be
brought together and permanently pre-
served. They will form a collection If
Kansas history of rare interest, and of
great value for future reference. We
have therefore to request that the au-
thors of such sketches, or other persons
having charge of their publication, mail
such printed copies to the Secretary of
the Society, in order that all may be
placed among its collections, for per-
manent preservation.

at is, perhaps, the first instance in the
history of Christian civilization, where a

FROM all parts of the distric. comes
word that the Republicans are well
pleased with the nomination of .. c.
Haskell for Congress. While some think
the contest will be a close one, none
doubt Mr.. Haskell's election. When
the campaign is fully opened and the
party lines are drawn we think the
number of Republicans will be small
who are found advocating the election Of
Democrat. The present Democratic
House has been condemned by the peo-
pie, and the present Representative from
this district is included in that condem-
nation. That third row of seats is
failure, and the people desire for Con-
gresham a man that represents their
political sentiments.

in him all that is commendable in Re

ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.

The National Democratic convention
met at st. Louis last Tuesday for the
purpose of nominating Presidential can
didates. The convention was called to
order by Augustus Schell, chairman OF
their national committee, and Henry
Watterson of Kentucky, was elected
temporary chairman. Both these gen.
tlemen made bombastic speeches, in
which they deplored the corruption Of
the present party in power, ard declared
that the prosperity of the country de-
pended upon the success of the Demo
cratic party. Mr.. McClernard was
chosen permanent chairman at the ev-
ening session, and after entertaining the
convention with a regular spread eagle
centennial speech announced the meet
ing ready for business Mr.. Belmont, OF
New York, read paper sharply CRITICS
ing the Republican party and admins
tration, and declaring that the DEM
ocrats in the past had been too timid,
too much disposed to make platforms to
catch the popular vote rather than de-
clare its great principles. The conven-
ton adjourned to await the report of the
committee on resolutions.
The primary meetings and caucuses Of
the delegates after their arrival at St.
Louis confirmed the report that a ma
jority of the delegates were favorable to
Tilden, but his opponents at once COM
