resolution that The hasIs OF FeprosenS

islature under the Act Of the LegislA-
iuFe Of 1877 provided no county snail
have lees than one vote, which was
hurriedly adopted; but as this would
reduce Warren county's representation
two votes, Mr.. Booth spoke against it,
when Col. Allen, OF Lee, came 10 the
rescue with Q provlso that Warren
county should have ten votes IN the
Convention, which was unanimously
adopted, and the Convention adjourned
until 4 pm.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Convention met pursuant 70 ad-
journment. Mr.. Robertson, of DeSoto,
moved the body proceed 10 the nomi.
nation of . candidate for Governor.
Mr.. Barry thought such action should
be delayed until after the Committee
on Platform reported.
Mr.. Case, Of Itwamba, suggested
that the Convention first settle the
question, as to how the delegates
should nominate. Mr.. Barksdale, of
Kinds, moved that the Convention nov
proceed to nominate candidate for
Governor, and that the candidate hav-
ing majority Of the votes, shall be de-
clared the nominee. A delegate moved
to amend by inserting the two.thirds
Instead Of the majority rule. Major
Barksdale said the twO-lhirds rule was
something new in Democratic C0nven-
ti0ns and an innovation, when o vote
by counties was taken upon laying the
two-thirds rule on the table, which re-
suited as follows: Laying on the table
194, against It 80. The majority reso-
luton being adopted, nominations
were announced In order.
A motion that in presenting the
names Of gentlemen for Gubernatorial
honors, no complimentary speeches be
made, ELECTED considerable discussion,
and 1t was finally decided in said
motion being sustained, which came
from Mr.. Morgan Of DeSoto, To give
satisfaction o second vote was taken,
and again the Convention, 70 the dis
appointment of few, declared no
speeches should be made. Mr., Van

Civil Service Reform.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, May s6.-MY
DEAR SIR: have read the partial report Of
the commission appointed to examine the
New York custom house. I concur with the
commission in their recommendations It is
my wish that the collection of revenues should
be free from partisan control and organized
strictly on a business basis, with the same
guarantees for efficiency and fidelity in the
selection of chief and subordinate officers that
would be required by a prudent merchant
Party leaders should have no more influence
in appointments than other equally respecta-
BILE citizens. Noassessments for political pur-
poses on officers or subordinates should be al
lowed. No useless officer or employee should
be retained. No officer should be required or
permitted to take part in the management of
political organizations, caucuses, conventions
Or election campaigns. Their right to vote, or
to express their views on public questions,
either orally, or through the press, is not de-
MED, provided it does not interfere with the
discharge of their official duties. Respectfully,
Signed -... r. B. HAYES.
To Hon. John Sherman.

The June Debt Statelllc MT.

The public debt statement shows that
the payments made from the treasury by war
rants during the month OF May, exclusive of
payments made on account of interest ON the
principal of the public debt of the United
States were as follows: On account of civil
and miscellaneous, $685., 1305; war, $3,121, ,
10; navy, 1896, 793.73; interior, Indians and
pensions, $40l ,406.42; total, $15,522, 1890
The large reduction of the public debt during
the month Of May is partly explained by the
fact that large sums are due to the navy,
and for necessary expenses Of the other de-
partments, but for which there is no appro-
priation. The ordinary decrease Of the debt is
five millions -:
