We're adopted unanimously, and the committee

Administration Republicans of New York
Urge State Convention Congres sional
Nominations.
SARATOGA, Aug. PA meeting of Republi-
cans from all parts of the State favoring the
administration of President Hayes was held to-
day, and it was resolved that it is apparent that
the success of the Republican party sthis fall
must depend on its harmony. This cannot be
expected if honest difference of opinion as to
the policy of the administration or as to claims
OF leading Republicans are made the occasion
OF discord, and especially if Republican voters
are deprived of the right afforded to the people
by uniform party usages of communicating their
views by the authoritative voice of convention
chosen with express reference to the living is
sues of the campaign, some of which have be-
come prominent since the last convention was
held. We therefore respectfully suggest to the
republican State committee that it call a
State convention of delegates to be elected by

senator Doran questioned Mr.. Dryer again
about the purchase of his house by the trustees,
asking him If he could give the committee any
information to show what the property cost
him. Mr.. Dryer said he bought the two lots in
1917, and commenced putting up the house
Immediately. He lived in the house SIX years
when the trustees bought and enlarged it.
Senator Morton-How large was the house?
Mr.. Dryer-It is stated on the voucher.
Senator Rice-Eighteen feet by twenty-five
feet; one story.
Senator Doran-Did the house cost you what
the trustees gave you for it?
MIR. Dryer gave them an inventory at the
time and desired that it and the purchase
should be put record. He supposed Mr.
Kerr had the inventory. He could not state
exactly what it cost.
Mr.. Doran-I am sorry, Mr.. Dryer, for your
sake as well as ours, because there is consider
able talk down town that it did not cost any
thing like what you got for it. The lots you
gave $3.50 for, did you not?
Mr.. Dryer-About that.
The report is that the house, which is now.
with another story added to it, used as kitch-
en-, cost about $500 or $500, and that it is not
nearly so good an investment as another near
by offered at $500.
Mr. Dryer was sure it cost him over 300,
besides the lots. The matter was left over for
Mr.. Kerr to produce the vouchers.
Senator Morton asked DR.. Bartlett if Damren
did not build some stairs which would not fit
and was paid for them, and afterwards made
some other stairs and was paid for them also.
DR.. Bartlett thought there were some stairs
made which would not fit, but they were used
in another part of the building three years
after.
The contract for building the porches was
talked over, there being some suspicion that
they were paid for extra and were contained in
the contract. The matter will be cleared up
to- morrow.

The Democrats of this Congressional

Donnelly, that will sweep the district with its

Hc SpOCteu 1all INDIANS Get up right
Among Themselves.
YANKToN, D. T.. Aug. 21.-H. G. Dean who
arrived from Spotted Tail agency early yester
day morning, says just previous to his depart
ure, half breed came in from moving Indians
who were then 125 miles out, and reported seri-
GUS trouble had broken among them, and they
had commenced exchanging shots. Two In
dians had been killed when the runner
had left. He also reported about 800 young
Indians had left the main body and
were travelling North Major Pollock hurried
to the scene of trouble, but the Indians in
dignantly declined to receive any counsel from
him and plainly told him to let them alone.
Cause of trouble not given, but it may have
grown out of difference of opinion existing
among the Indians in regard to the move.
Large numbers in favor of remaining on
the river, but through the efforts of leading
chiefs were compelled to submit to the decision
of the minority. This, together with trouble
about rations, is supposed to have been the
cause of the outbreak.

The committee met again at the asylum at
o'clock, and continued the labors with the
building committees accounts-labors truly,
for the papers were in such shape that the
com mittee were taxed sorely to get them in

them out, it was unreadable. Smith,
the secretary had got to
stand still with it, and Kerr was
telegraphed for to come and help him out.
Anything pertaining to Mr. Dryers department
the committee had no trouble with. His ac-
counts were splendidly kept, and showed an
exact and systematic accountant had the man
agement. This led Senator Morton to remark
that it was pity Mr.. Dryer had not been en-
ployed to keep the accounts for the building
committee. Several vouchers were found show
ing ID: Downs, since his appointment as super

charged the building fund 1854. Is and $24O.75,
and other amounts for stone cutting, etc. These
were left over to be explained by the Rev. Kerr
and Mr.. Downs himself.
An immense pile of vouchers of Snyder &
Damren were found, showing these gentlemen
had had fat contract, but it was impossible
to see whether the charges were correct or not.
This the committee will do when their secre-
tary can, with the assistance of the reverend
treasurer, when he can get here, he being now
