A FOWL CONVENTION.
The Pelicans Hold q MAYS Meeting
On the Sandbar opposite she City.

ON the Sandbar tOpPOsite she CITY.
A large assemblage Of pelicans, TO the num-
Der of several thousand, gathered on the
saudbar opposite the city yesterday after
noon, and he'd a mass meeting, the subject
OF the discussion being the silver question.
The crowd did not seem to be very enthusi-
astic as but little cheering or disorderly con.
duct was noticeable, although the sweet
strains of the pelican cornet band could be
plainly heard. II was to all appearances a
strictly business meeting, but when about
under good Roadway the report OF shot
gun broke the stiffness OF the air and two of
the leading lights of the convention fell NOR
tally wounded, causing the abruit adj
journment of the meeting. Mr.. Fred Kiper,
who fired the shot, hastened TO gather up the
game, and found upon Investigation that the
two birds weighed twenty-seven pounds.
They were monsters, and large enough To
keep d hotel In meat for a fortnight-more or
less.
By the exercise of the most judicious man
agement, the Grand Central Ho:el, New
York, has very cleverly turned the tide of
trade in its direction, not less by the sweep
ing reduction OF its rates than through its
excellent management.

VIOLATIONS OF THE RULE
THE QUESTION

for the court to decide would be: Was there
an ELECTORAL commission; was it construct
ed according to law; did it perform its du-
ties. There is no dispute on these points,
and unless the charge OF fraud could be
brought against the electoral commission
itself, there would be nothing in any way
touching the title. Whatever fraud there
might be back Of the jurisdiction of the
ELECTORAL commission it in no wise touches
their work. The Democrats only hope to
make campaign capital, and thind moth
ing will be done on the subject by Congress.
The Leavenworth weekly times. [volume] (Leavenworth, Kan.) 1870-1880, 1878-05-02
THE CONCLUSION,

therefore, is irrisistable, that Mr.. Tilden
was entitled to the ELECTORAL vote of Flori-
da, not Mr. Hayes. In making this state
ment my motives will doubtless be ques-
toned by many, but the facts will stand
alone as the truth, without any mere mo-
tives to sustain them. am free TO admit
that, viewing things as l now do, and re-
Numbering that Mr.. Hayes was continually
inspiring his personal friends, and, through
agents and by every means in his power, to
secure for him the ELECTORAL vote Of Flori-
da and Louisina, and believing it to have

hMr. COX, of New York, then called for
the previous question on the passage Of the
bill, which was seconded.
Mr.. FRYE moved to refer the bill to the
Judiciary Committee, but the Speaker ruled
that the motion to refer was not in order at
that stage of the proceedings. The mains
question being sdered, a vote was trken on
the passage Of the bell, and resuled-yeas

negative votes were cast by Butler and

The next bill on the SPEAKER'S table
was the bill to repeal the bankrupt law.
Mr.. MCMAHON said that it was ex-
important to the country that
some action should be taken on the bill, al
men were being driven into bankruptcy BY
the expected action Of the House, which
might be different from what was generally
supposed.
Mr.. KNOTT moved to take recess until

would come up as unfinished business in

il would.
