ton reported. The Chairman, Commodore
William Voorhees,, was denounced as a
national banker and wolf in the fold,
and the name OF ex.Assemblyman George
L. Williams, Of 0swego, was moved as a
substitute for that OF Voorhees,.
Voorhees, admitted he was q National
banker and was here to help the party
smash the National banks. He was in
favor OF destroying the National bank cur
rency and substituting greenbaCks for it.
He did not want office and would not
take one. Great applause and great ex-
Citement followed.
Castillo thought Voorhees, was a minion
Of Tammany, and moved an amendment
that temporary Chairman Graham be
elected permanent Chairman. Williams
declined heing permanent Chairman.
The vote for Chairman resulted, Voor.
hees 06, Graham so, Williams 10, scatter
ing 20. The election OF Voorhees, as per-
manent Chairman was made unanimous
amidst the widest uproar, during which
the temporary Chairman said: "By fair
vote YOU have been elected Chairman.
Why in the name OF God can't you behave
yourselves"
Voorhees, was violently applauded and
hissed as he took the chair, s-r-..-.
A platform was reported, by the Com.
mittee on Resolutions, and unanimously
adopted.
A delegate from Corning advocated a
coalition with the soft money Democrats
and nominated Allan O. Beach. The
name was received with storm OF Kisses,
and recess was taken.
After recess Richard Schell, OF New
York City, was nominated for Governor.
The nomination was received with
Kisses, cheers and great confusion.
Mr.. Mulford, OF New York, said that he
and those whom he represented would
bolt the nomination OF Schell and put a
new ticket in the field with new organi-
zation behind it.
The name Of Richard Schell was with.
drawn.

Governor, and John NJ. Wieling for Lieut.

The special term of the Circuit Court Of
this county, called by Judge Fleming to
prepare cases for the October term, was
in session three days this week. The
Grand Jury found about twenty indict.

FIVE young men implicated in the Man

at the next regular session in October.
About 100 OF our citizens went on the
excursion to Oakland on Wednesday last.
We are glad TO sec the mutual good feeling
that now seems TO exist between the rail.
road company and the people along the
route. But we have one complaint to
make yet, and that Is concerning the
difference in rates TO excursionists from
the cities and those afforded TO the people
living along the line. We have spoken OF
this before. Now the fare to Niagara re-
Gently was five dollars from Wheeling,
round trip, but our citizeus had to pay two
dollars and half to get 10 Benwood and
return, which is out OF all proportion.
Many would like to go to the Chicago Ex.
position at the S. 90 rates, but t will
cost them S. 90 to go to Wheeling and
return. We suppose, however, that there
is not much hope Of any more favorable
terms as long as the company can flll It's
cars at its own rates.
Several car loads OF cattle were shipped
