J. q. Abbott was then nominated for
governor by acciamation.
The committee on nominations re-
ported the remainder Of the ticket.
The report was adopted as follows: For
lieut.. governor, VIM. r. Plunkett; Sec
rotary of state, Henry G. Dewing; treas
urer and receiver, Gen. David N. Skill
ling; auditor, John E. Fitzgerald; at
torney general, Richard Olney.
Long resolutions were adopted. the
two most important planks of which
were as follows:
The democratic party, in sustaining throughout
its entire history, the great principle of equal
and exact justice u all men, has ever been the
truest friend OF the hboring classes. We demand
the overthrow OF mnopOlies and The enactmen
and execution Of su;h laws as shall protect the
rights 0! labor as we'll those OF capital, not
discriminating against either. but framed for the
mutual benefit Of bob. That as the process for
collection OF debts known as Trustee prOcess''
operates with especisl severity upon the labOring
classes, we therefore demand the passage of q
law exempting wages of laborers from attach.
ment. That the platform here adopted, tnd the
candidates here nominated are In alliance with
the national democratic party. and the pretense
that any candidates nominated by any other
party or body Of men represent the democratic
party Is utterly false and fraudulent We sum.
mon all true democrats 10 rally to the support OF
candidates this day nominated, because they
alone represent the principles and organization
Of the time honored national democratic party.
The scheme ntimated and carried into effect by
the republican party Of providing paper currency
not rcdeemable in coin, and compelling people To
receive the zane in payment Of debts, is without
authority of the constitution Congress has nc
power to make anything, less it be gold or silver
legal tender; whatever power it may have to
authorize the issue Of rates to circulate as money
whether issued directly from the treasury or in
directly through banks, should be exercised only
subject to certain restrictions: LIST. that no ex-
eCutive office of the government should have dis
erection to enlarge ON the contract value OF cur
xency; I'd, that the total amount OF currency au-
thOrized should be fixed by law; Sd, that what
ever that amount, 1t should be one that ehall al
every moment be redeemable in coin; 4th that al
coins OF the same denomination shall be nearly a.
possible of equal value; 9Th, that whatever cur
rency is issued by the government shall be receiv.
able by the government on the payment OF public
duties at lite face value.

In recent article in the Nineteenth
Century, by Mr.. j. Norman Lockyer,
the writer vely strongly objects to DR..
Diapers discovery of oxygen in the
sun. Mr.. Lockyer says he has gone
carefully over the whole ground, and
finds: " First, that the photograph on
which DR.. Draper bases the discovery
is not one competent to settle such an
important question; second, that he
does not find the coincidence between
bright solar lines and oxygen lines in
the part of the spectrum with which
he is most familiar; and, third, that
comparing DR.. Diapers photograph
with the fine photograph of the spec
trum obtained by Mr.. Rutherford, he
fails to find any true bright line in the
sun whatever coincident with any line
of oxygen whatever" Mr.. Lockyer
sums up the evidence rs to the suns
composition in these words: " So far as
our uncontested knowledge goes, the
sun is chiefly made of metal, and on
this account is strangely different from
the crust of our earth, in which the
metals are in a large minority"

THESE rules are suggested by q sports
man: First-Never load a gun in a
house, rs, if you leave it for a
minnto. soa.e ;snarant sosv"nt maid
may handle it to the detriment of herself,
or of any one who falls in her way.
Secondly-Never let the hammer down
upon the copper caps, for a sudden
movement will make the weapon 60

an accident to biped or quadruped.

July and August as the months for TAX

July and August, next to February and
