WASHINGTON, June 4.-There is strong move

confirmation of Secretary McCrary as Judge of the

BEATEN-A BOURBON PLATFORM.
The Democrats of Ohio met in convention
at Columbus yesterday, nominated full nst
of candidates for State offices, adopted
platform. and adjourned. General Ewing was
nominated for Governor on the second ballot,
and General Rice for Heutenant-Governor, al
though the latter explicitly declined to serve In
that place on the ticket. The convention
was full of disorder, and once was thrown
into very nearly serious panic by the fall
of something on the stage. The platform
iudorses the conduct of the Democrats in
Congress. 1t denounces the vetoes of the
Pres es.ent, the demonetization of silver, the
increase of the bonded debt, and the National
banking system. 1t demands repeal OF the
National election and jury laws.

changed to him in the midst of a pandomonium of
noise. First came Hooking, then Muskingum, then
Miami in the southwest, Washington in the south
east, Defiance In the extreme northwest, and Irum-

changes went on. Hamilton shifted twenty-seven
votes TO Ewing after row lasting several minutes
which stopped all proceedings for the time-being.

The dramatic talent discovered was quite
surprising. The society ladies and gen.

from the Merchant of Venice, King John
and Romeo and Juliet were read. Tie
guests were unusually social and the

Observation-Disclosures

In speaking of this company of Lilli-
pution wonders, who are to appear here
on Wednesday evening Nov. 90. the
Courier Journal says:
The first appearance of Haverly's Ju-
venile PInafore Company at the Park
Theatcr last night was greeted by a
large audience. The company is COM
posed of fifty misses and boys between
the ages of four and fourteen, who have
been carefully trained for their rcspec-
tive parts. The performances of these
juveniles must be seen to be appreciated.
To the most careful stage training they
add fresh, clear voices and the most
natural dramatic ability. The most
important characters do not mimic, but
seem to have intelligent conception of
their parts. The choruses are remark
able strong and well-rendered, but it is
in the solos more particularly that the
audience is completely taken by surprise
at the highly cultivated voices and ex-
ecutions. In stage effects the Juveniles
are we'll up, and their rendition of the
alay abounds in new and amusing bust
ness. OF the seperate parts, Miss Jen-
ME Dunn plays Ralph Rackstraw, sing
ing the part very prettily and acting
well. Miss frankie Bishop as 'The
monarch of the seas" Admiral Porter,
gave a rare bit of character acting.
which stamped her as an artistic of re-
markable merit.
No lover of music and fen should tail
to see this company during the remain
ing performances which will he found
to amply repay attendance. Pinafore
will be given during the remainder OF
the week, with Saturday matinee.

THE BUTTER AND EGG BVST.
NESS OF M1NK4TO.

The butter and egg business of Man
kato has grown into very large proper
tons. The two firms, w. J. Mills and
that of J. \. Long & Co, have each dis
played great energy, and built up n
trade which extends to all the surround
ing country. Every farmer within reach
of Mankato must feel the direct inflence
of the large operations of these firms.
The price of butter has steadily advanc-
ed for the benefit of the farmers. The
egg business was only begun the past
season, but its proportions can hardly
be realized. The books of one house
alone, shows that they have handled as
high as 5000 dozen eggs in day. One
of these firms during the height of the
season, in June, shipped as much as four
car loads of butter per week. Lately
they are not shipping over two car loads
of butter per week. A car contains 90
oOo pounds OF butter, and about 1900
dozen eggs, in barrels of 20 dozen to a
Darrell. The enhanced value of eggs
alone to our farmers is an item of great
value. These firms are now paying 1s
cents per dozen, cash. The high cash
prices for eggs seems to have stimulated
the very hens to increased activity
These eggs are packed in cut straw and
each establishment has a straw cutter
attached. This makes market for rye
straw, which is the kind used in pack.
ing eggs. We CLEAN from the books OF
these establishments that Long & Co
have paid out during the time they have
been in operation, about $4,000 fol-
eggs and butter, and the Mills establish
ment, since Jan. 18th last, about $95,
600.
