can State Convention met here ysstsr.
day. After the Presidents address Sem
ator Hoar was loudly called for and made
q ringing speech which was we'll ap.
plsuded.
The first ballot for Governor stood:
Long. $50; Pierce. sos. The nomina-
ton Of Long wss made unanimous. The
ticket was completed a. follows: For
Lieutenant Governor, Byron Weston;
Attorney General. George Marston; Aud.
itor, Charles B. Ladd; Secretary Of
State, Henry B. Pierce; TREASURER and
Rscsiver, Charles Endicott.
The frst plank OF the platform
adopted sets forth that the United States

men. In all matters which belong 10 the
States must DO folly recognised. the M.
tons government should secure 70 its
citizens from whom It claims allegiance.
complete liberty and exact equality 10
the exercise OF their civil and political
rights. Whether assaulted BY political
persecution at homo or menaced BY tyr.
amy abroad. all citizens Of the United
States must be protected BY the National
Government In all rights granted BY the
Constitution and laws.
The second deprecates the revival OF
sectional animosily. and the attempt Of
the Democratic majority In Congress to
repeal the laws made necessary by the
war and enacted to secure the results Of
the war and to establish the old doctrine
OF States rights. which. in the past. led
to secession and civil war.
The third claims for the Republican
party the credit OF successful resump.
lion, restored prosperity and business
revival, and insist that the paper and
coin circulation OF the country shall ct
all times DO maintained at par with the
gold standard OF the commercial world.
The fourth applauds the firm and pat.
riotic course Of President Hayes In
maintaining the constitutional preroga.
tives Of the Executive. and In courage
ously and successfully resisting al o.
forts Of the Democratic Congress to
cripple the functions Of the Government.
The fifth indorses the suppression Of
intemperance by the ''wisest legislation. "
but recognizes an honest difference Of
opinion as to what form OF legislation
that might be. therefore leaves II to be
settled by the Legislature. II also says
that State officers should be elected for
O longer term than one year.
The remaining planks refer to State
affairs.

A telegram from Chicago says:
"wops Ching Foo. a Chinese mission
sry has arrived here from Cincinnati
and propose to convert Americans into
disciples Of Coniucius." Did anybody
ever hear Of such ineffabls porcelain
cheek before. Here our churches and
religious societies have. for scores Of
years, been sending missionaries out to
China at . heavy expense in order to
convert the "Hsathen Chines." and
now they impuden,ly reciprocats BY
sending missionaries to convert " pso'
pie to h~ssthenism. According to the
New York Tribune. four years ago there
were only ISL Chinese In that city.
Since then. however. through tho hos
tility Of San Francisco hoodlums. and
the general inclination to Cypress o
drive them from this coast. they have
nocked to the East and gathered into
New York. where they are engaged In q
variety Of industrial pursuits. There
are now upwards Of $500 Of them in
New York. $50 In Brooklyn and 200 in
Jersey City and HobOksn. There are
only four Chinese fomales among them
q yst-two in New York and two in
Brooklyn-but there are several In
stances OF Cinnamon marrying white
% there as well as in Boston. In
deed, the Tribune goes on to say that in
New York the Cinnamon are marrying
quite extensively - generally Irish
women-and q China Celtic race Is
~springing up lively.
This last clause in the way OF celestial
missionary efforts is still more alarming
and sffsctual than that cool missionary
wretch in Chicago. Wonder how those
young Monaghan Cells. those Chinese
Irish boys will vote when they grow up.
viii they vote the Democratic ticket1
Verify Kearney Is more needed In New
York than be Is here. THE Chinese
must Co." Aud they do go-East. The
Tribune says that about ten per cent. Of
the Chinese there came from Havana.
and the rest came overland from Califor-
mia. Over niusty.hve per cent. Of this
Chinese population are regularly en-.
gagged In some honorable business.
Every few days the San Francisco COM
paniss send out q batch Of about . hum
dred Cinnamon. About fifty Of these
come to New York. twenty to Boston
and twenty to Philadelphia. The rest
scatter 1t will.

It IL proposed to so change the Cali
fornia election laws as to allow the bal.
lots TO b counted as the voting pro-
crosses. Thus in Philadelphia and
some other cities the box in which the
ballots are deposited is removed every
hour or so and another put in its place.
The ballots are given to q Board Of Can
vasssrs. who count the votes, and 30
keep on counting al day; hence. within
an hour or 30 after the polls close
the result can be known. The only
objection We see 10 this plan il that the
condition Of the vote for each candi-
date would be known outside and the
incentive to bribery might b greatly
enlarged.
