Editors DISPATCH County Court Judge
H. G. Jones presiding) was in session to-
day. Quite large number Of people were
in attendance. The grand jury made a
number OF indictments, but there was very
little business before the Court.
A meeting, consisting OF three delegates
from each district heretofore appointedl
was held for the purpose OF nominating a
Conservative candidate for the House OF
Delegates from this county. The following
delegates are in attendance: NewtOWn Dis
trict-J. G. Cannon, Edward Acre, and DR..
John Basby; Stevensville DiStrict-Dr.
Thomas Latane. Captain n. B. Street, and
Thomas N. Walker; Buena Vista District
Colonel E. B. Montague, DR.. William f.
Bland, and James P. Bland.
Unfortunately, there is split in the
party in this county, which looks now as il
it might be serious. Dr.. r. Fl. Cox, the pre-
sent able and efficient representative, has
very bitter opposition, it appears, simply
upon local grounds, in the upper part OF the
county, and it is feared be will be defeated.
The most prominent opponent OF DR.. Cox
is Depuly-Sherif William It. Haynes. Both
of these gentlemen are popular and worthy,
and, best Of all, both are pronounced debt
payers. The Rea6iusters have no footing
here at all. .-.
At this writing the convention is still in
session, which looks very much as il Il com.
promise man might.be fixed upon. l will
write you the result tomorrow.
The farmers are encouraged by the late
rains, and now hope for an average corn
crop.
Delegates have been appointed from this
county to the senatorial convention from
this district, which meets at Saluda, Middle
sex county, on Wednesday, the 9th in.

one, favor the denomination OK Senator B.

The Soraeue-ConkIIng Affair.

STORMY INTERVIEW BETWEEN uos '.,n
spRAGUs AND HIS wIFE-CRIMlNA'loS AND
RECRIMfNATION.
NEW YORK, August 15.-The sun pup
fishes from two sources an account OF Tue
meeting between Ex-Governor Spfaeue ana
his wife at Narragansctt Pier K. L.. yester-
day, the substance Of which Is as follows !;
MIR. spraeue met his wife here to-day anu
had q stormy interview with her, IN Wnlcn
he charged her with having been un1aitnlui
to her vows with some one whom ne refused
TO name. There is no mistake at all ABOUT
this, as it was in the presence OF witnesses.
The Governor took charge OF his chill
dren, and said they should never again be
in the custody of such a woman. All sorts
OF rumors prevail here, but they must be
taken with allowance. 1t is true that the
interview was most unpleasant one. Gov
ernor Sprague Is said 10 have accused Mrs.
Sprague OF poisoning the minds OF his chill
dren against bin, and alternating the alice
tons of his boy Willie, through the in1iu-
ence OF the German tutor (Linck).
Mrs. Sprague, in turn, accused her bus
band OF general brutality when under the
influence Of liquor, and OF circulating base,
unfouudcd stories against her character.
She said on more than one occasion she had
been in peril Of her life from him. referring
distinctly to one OCCASION when he had
Doiutcd loaded pistol at her, threatening
to shoot her. Governor Sprague referred
to Senator Conkling's intimacy with Mrs.
Sprague. and she rcpelled any intlmation Of
wrong-doiDg on her part with great indlg-
nation.
Mrs. Sprague did not come here with the
object OF seeing her husband, but only to
make final arrangements for collecting at
Canonchet what belonged to her there, and
removing her trunks TO Providence. Her
friends assert that she has consulted the
very best legal advice, and that her return
to the Sprague mansion was opposed by her
friends and counsel. Her husband is re-
ported to have asked, ado you intend to
return to Canonchet?" and, on her express
ing fears for her personal safely, to have
said, 81 have never harmed any ole, and
YOU are safe" After her children had been
taken away she was greatly agitatcd, anu
decided to follow them. 1t Is alleged that
after nigbtiall she took a carriage and drove
back to Cunonchet.
PROVIDENCE. August 15.-Mr. and Mrs.
Spragle remained az Canonchet last night,
a kinsman from Ohio being one OF the
friends in the house, but the position was
exceedingly uncomfortable TO all parties.
Mr. Spraen ne declares be will have the CHI
drcn at all hazards, and forbids the servants
to obey any Of his wife's orders without
consulting him. Mrs. Sprague is greatly
FRUSTRATED by the events CT the past few
DAYS; also by the cruel reports OF the news
papers and by the apprehensons for her
children.

A lovelier day than yesterday could
not have been desired for an outdoor
gathering. The iOgs Of the morning
cleared away early in the forenoon, and
the somewhat chilly air succumbed
10 the influence OF the sun, and became
Congenial under his beams. This OfcOurse
did much toward making the Blaine
boom at Bellaire the success which 1t
must be admitted that it was. Add to
this the advantage OF the national repu-
tation Of the orator, and the compara-
tive novelty Of a speech from hun IN
this section of the country, and instead
OF being a wonder that the occasion
was successful, it becomes remarkable
that il was not 50 in greater meas
ure. The people OF Bellaire who
favor the principles upheld by Mr..
Blaine. seemed iull OF enthusiasm, and
al an early hour in the day this began
10 find vent in the arrangement OF dec
oratious for houses, the streets, and the
stand at which the meeting was TO take
place. Some fine ornamentatlOn was
done by some OF our Republican friends.
We particularly noticed the room Occu-

At Dodge City, Ks.

DoDGECITY, September 26. 6.-GoyernOr
st. John and staff took charge of the
presidential party at EmpOria last night,
and put them on board the special train
provided foI that purpose by the officers
OF the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
railroad for this place. The party ar
rived here at seven o'clock. The Presi-
dent, General Sherman and Governor
st. John were conveyed from this place
to Fort Dodge in ambulances, where
they received a military salute suitable
to the rank of the party. The balance
OF the party took breakfast at this point,
at which halt was made OF about two
hours. The party will return 10 Topeka
and remain in that place tonight,
and proceed to Leavcnworth the follow
ing day. At this place there has been
no demonstration, and there is appar-
emily not much curiosity to soe the
President or anyone else. The town is
situated in the midst OF bleak prairie,
near the banks OF the Arkansas river,
which at this point seems to be nothing
more than sluggish bayou. The party
is invited to stop at Larned on its re-
turn, where, if the invitation is accept
ed, little speaking will be Indulged in.
The party breakfast here as the guests OF
the railroad officers, who are doing what
they can to make them comfortable,
At Larned.
HUTCHIsON, KS, September 20.-The
President and party left Dodge City at
9 o'clock this morning, on their return
to Topeka, and were greeted along the
road at the various stations by crowds
of people. At Larned the train halted
long enough to enable the party to visit
the county fair, in a carriage provided
ior the occasion by the citizens. At the
train Capt Henry Booth made an adj
dress of welcome.
At the conclusion OF the speeches,
Mrs. Hayes was called for, and on being
presented to the crowd by General
Sherman as the best part of his speech,
she was greeted in an enthusiastic man
ner. and made a Kansas mother happy
by taking her baby in her arms, which
she handed on the platform as speci-
men of Juvenile western humanity.
GOV. st. John was called out, and made
Il brief and pointed speech to the people,
after which the party returned to the
train and moAed on their journey.
