POLITICAL.
The Minnesota Democracy.

ST. PAUL, Sept. 26.-The Democratic State
Convention at its evening session completed
the ticket as follows: Secretary of State, Felix
A. Bower of Lesuer State Treasurer, Lyman
B. Cowdry of Olmstead Attorney General, P.
NJ. Babconk of Hennipen county; Railroad
Commissioner, VIM. Colville of Goodhue
county. Majority and minority reports were
presented from the committee on resolutions.
The majority report, expressing hard money
views, was finally adopted. The platform
holds the Federal government as supreme
within the limits given by the Constitution
and its amendments, but powers not thereby
conferred upon it nor prohibited to the States
are reserved to the States respectively. The
platform opposes secession, also Capitalization,
as attempts to extinguish tho States; charae-
terizes protection as tribute levied upon the
producers of the West by the monopolsts of
the East, gross injustice, and favors the
speedy establishment of free trade as a perma-
nent commercial policy. Paper money should
be at all times convertible into coin, and its
volume regulated by the business of the
country, and the coinage of silver should be
unlimited. The platform favors revision of
the patent laws to expunge certain obiectiona-
BILE features; reform in civil service to the end
that honesty and efficiency shall be the only
tests in public employment. 1t demands the
adjustment of superfluous offices, wholesale
reduction OF salaries so that the expenses of
partisan campaigns cannot be paid indirectly
from the public funds; demands a free ballot,
opposes sumptuary laws, deprecates the pres
ence of troops at the polls, and partisan Off
Gals armed with arbitrary power to intimidate
and arrest voters, and concludes that never
again by fraud or force shall the will of the
people, constitutionally expressed, be nullifed
by a reasonable conspiracy of INSCRIPTIONS
partisans. Resolutions were also adopted con-
demning the Republican administration for
unnecessary extravaganza in expenditures,
demanding legislation for the regulation of
railroad and elevator corporations in the in
terests of the people, and condemning the mis-
management of State institutions, especially
the squandering of public funds by officials.

New YORK, Sept 26.-The Stock Exchange

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

The Entire Business Portion of Deadwood
Burned.
DEADwooD, d. r., Sept. ga fire this
morning consumed the entire business portion
of this place. The fire ats o'clock was still
burning. Thousands of people are homeless and
destitute. The loss is estimated at one and a
half to two million dollars.
[sECoND DESPATCH.
The fire broke out at 220 this morning and
the fire apparatus was among the first things
to burn, leaving the city at the mercy of the
flames. The fire spread with such wonderful
rapidity that all attempts to save anything
were useless. All along Its course terrific
plosions of powder, petroleum, liquor, ETC.,
were of frequent occurrence and many build
ings were blown to atoms. But for the scar
city of water considerable property might have
been saved. The Widest excitement prevailed
aud the people thought of little but saving
their lives Hundreds escaped with nothing
but their night clothes on.
Probably about 1000 are homeless and many
destitute. About 125 buildings, besides so or
60 dwellings, were destroyed. The loss is es-
timated from S1,500000 to S2,000,000 The
fire is still burning but there is no danger of
its spreading further unless there is an unfav-
orable change in the wind.
In consequence of the large amount of
thieving company of cavalry was sent from
Fort Meade at the request of citizens, also
ambulances which will convey the destitute
to Fort Meade where they will be provided for.
All the remaining saloons are closed, and
evil doors, if caught, will be speedily dealt
WITH The post office lost $4,000 in stamps.

THE ASHLEY BELT.
Excitement Intense Over the Con-
test.
ROWELL'S LEAD REDUCED TO TEN
MILES.

New YORK, Sept. 26.-2p. m.-RoweH was
off the track from GIT to nearly II, and it has
been ascertained that he has been very sick
Merritt at u o'clock was only sixteen miles
behind him and Hazael twenty. The news of
his sickness has infused new life into the 9TH
ers and they are all passing along with increas-
ing energy.
The betting boards are blank, and the book
makers are in quandry, afraid to bet until
they learn whether Rowell is really breaking
up or not.
3p. m.-Weston, Guyon and Taylor at 1916
We're running briskly. Rowell left the track
at 80 after being on II minutes, only making
1 mile and laps. 1t is said that he has just
had another fit of vomiting. 1t is rumored
that he had been poisoned, but Dr. Mott who
Just left Rowells tent, denies the rumor. He
says Rowell had a fit and was in commissions
At 1.26 Rowell was ag: 4 on the track walking
steadily, apparently Ger his fit, but he looks
broken down.
That he has been tempered with is beyond
all doubt. He is now in his tent and it is said
is partly out of his mind. The greatest ex-
element prevails and the attendants of Rowell
say that the whole story will come out Mon
day and certain sporting men will never dare
appear in England.
Up. m.-Rowell has not yet appeared on the
track and it is asserted on good authority that
he is crazy and unmanageable in his tent.
10 H. m-The score at this hour stands.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1879-09-27

Midnight-Betting at 1870 o'clock was to .
against Rowell, 6 to / against Hazael, 3 to l
against Merritt, 80 to l against Guyon and
Weston, 40 to 1 against Hart, and 100 to 1
against Ennis and Krohne.
At 10 o'clock 10000 people were within the
building and the streets outside were crowded.
Hazael, Merritt and Guyon are watching one
another, and Rowell is struggling manfuily
against his af1iction so as to keep lead of
nine or ten miles over Merritt. He sticks to
Merritt's heels and evidently is trying to tire
him out. When Merritt runs he regulates
his pace accordingly.
Hart was presented with a magnificent full
rugged floral ship, and O'Leary, who made the
presentation, carried the emblem around the
track. The whole interest seems to have set
tied down on Rowell, Merritt and Hazael
At 11.30 Hart and Krohne were the only men
ON the track. Hazael came on at 11.47 and
walked very stiff and lame and seemed pretty
we'll used up. Hart came few minutes
afterward. The park is still packed with peo-
pie anxiously expecting the other walkers to
appear on the track. Following is the score
al this hOur.
