Hancock Boom In Northwest Wtsc0mstn'
A subscriber at Osceola Mills, Wis.,, sending
in list of subscriptions to the GLOBE, adds
the following in relation to the political situ'
alton in that section:
''The Democrats are awakened here i'll this
stronghold of Republicanism as they have not
been for the last fifteen years. And there is
a feeling of confidence that we have never felt
before and through this excitement we have
gone to work with will. We have had Han
cock and English ratification meeting, have or
ganized Polk county Hancock and English
club, have some one to work IN nearly every
town, and we are already reaping abundant
fruit. We can safely count on large number
of soldiers that have always voted the Re-
publican ticket, as well as others that feel like
the following case. which can vouch for. I
will not give the name, but will call him Mr..
G.: Soon after the nomination of Hancock,
O., who had always been radical Republican,
went to a leading Democrat and told him that
he wanted to subscribe for Democratic paper.
1t was a great surprise to Mr.. B.. and he
wanted to know what it meant. Mr.. O. told
him he had read nothing but Republican
papers. but he was thoroughly convinced that
Hoyt was seated by fraud, and said he would
never vote that ticket again. I believe he is
only one of thousands who at the coming
election will do likewise" M.

though $3.50 was the hour set. The crowd did
not, however, stop coming, aud were increased

TRENTON, N. j., Aug. 1S.-The Republican
State convention begun its session to-day.
VIM. F. Hoffman was temporary chairman.
The customary committees we're appointed and
recess taken. In the afternoon session Geo. NJ.
Robinson was recommended for permanent
president and chosen. He addressed the con-
vention on the principles of the Republican
party. Referring to the platform of the Demo-
cratic party, he. charged that, while they
declared against Capitalization, they
were advocating Capitalization in declaring
Congress supreme over the judiciary and exec
utive power of the government. tariff for
protection formed the principal part of the
speech The report Of the committee on reso-
lutions was unanimously adopted as follows:
Resolved That the Republican party of New
Jersey cordially approves and ratifies the state
ment of principles set forth in the platform
adopted by the national convention held in
Chicago the ID day of June, 1880.
RESOLVED, That the Republican party of New
Jersey does most heartily approve of the nom
ination of Gen. James A. Garfield and Chester
A. Arthur f. + President and Vice President of
the United States and pledge to them our earn
est and undivided support.
Resolved. That knowing that the very liveli-
hood of hundreds of thousands of onr citizens
and the home markets of our farms depend
upon the maintenance of policy of protec-
tion to American labor, which our party las
ever held against the constant attempt of the
Democratic party to impair Of destroy. and
that aspiration has developed and raised to
their present proud and encouraging position
in our State such great industries of iron,
silk. pottery, and others,
and we denounce as certainly
fatal to these industries the Democratic
doctrine of tariff for revenue only. The
Republican party of New jersey does, in the
most unequivocal terms, declare its adhesion
to the principles of protection and tariff for
the benefit of the toiling masses.
Other resolutions declare for biennial ses-
sions of the legislature and congratulate the
successive Republican legislatures upon re-
duction of the State debt, SO that now the
only State tax laid upon the people is for the
support of free education.
Fred 8. Potts was unanimously and by &C.

The Climate of Minnesota.

The Editors Drawer of Harper's Monthly
for September, contains one of the few stories
told by the old settlers of Minnesota, in which
the laugh comes upon DR.. Murphy, the doctor
generally managing to secure the opposite re-
suit. The story as given in the Drawer runs
as follows:
''The salubrity of the climate of Minnesota
is universally conceded. In the opinion of
one DR.. Murphy las if there could be two it
is superior to that of California or
any other State. On one occasion
be remarked: "Look at mel Behold my round
ed form! When came here weighed only
ninety-seven pounds, and now I weigh two
hundred and seventy-ive. What do you think
of that?"
Ayoung gentleman of the vicinage standing
by. said: why, doctor. that's nothing. Look
at me; weigh one hundred and seventy-fve
pounds, and when I came to Minnesota
weighed only ak pounds"
He rather had the medical man.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1s.-Cables to-day again dull and
lower for wheat, and we started on 20 lower

September, and then gradually improved with but
very few fluctuations. Closed $50 September. It
seems that the main lever for this advance In the
face of the lower cables easy New York and pretty
lively deliveries Of cash, was quite number Of pro-
vision men buying, they thinking that wheat will ad
vance In sympathy with provisions. The real reason
when going to the bottom Of things sitting facts as

steps to the front everywhere, and II the provision
men had not bought wheat somebody else undoubt-

She wrestl ed With a Policeman.

Yesterday morning Mrs. V. Boon was ar
raigned at the police court charged with disor-
derly conduct and resisting an officer. The of
tense took place on the evening of the 7th inst.
Officer Mcmahon attempted to arrest loose
character known as Dutch Lizzie. She sought
refuge in the defendants house on Exchange
street. The officer entered the house and asked
that she be given in custody, when Mrs. Boon
grew excited and ordered him out. He then
undertook to arrest Mrs. Boon and rough and
tumble matinee resulted in both parties going
to grass. After great deal of difficulty Mrs.
Boon was lodged in the cooler. The testimony
of the defendant was quite amusing, particu-
larly that portion of it relating to the fight in
which they rolled together on the floor. De-
fendaut was fined $40 and discharged. The
case was tried before Judge McGrorty.

CHICAGO. Aug. 1S.-The people of Chicago
have done themselves no honoIs during the
couclave about to close. The gathering of
strangers within the city gates has been the
largest ever known, and the OCCASION has been
seized upon by men, women and children to
fleece the knightly guests out OF as
much money as possible. Every window along
the line Of the grand parade yesterday was
rented out for SO much peep. and every va
can't space was occupied by tiers for seats, rang
ing in price from one to five dollars, according
TO location.
EVERYBODY WAS ON THE MAKE,
and even aristocrstic mansions on the avenues
we're defaced by the long rows OF wooden
benches. But the crowning disgrace was the
conduct of those IN control of the
Jockey club park to-day when the competition
drill took place. The whole management was
50 per cent. worse than the seating. Admission
was had with difficulty, and charge of one to
two dollars imposed for seats on the grand
stand, The weather is terrible hot, and people
sweltered for over three hours, packed like sar-
dimes in box, after the time announced for
opening of the drill. Water was peddled
through the crowd at ave cents per glass. Beer
was on sale at ten cents, and very weak de-
coction of lemonade ct fifteen cents, and If one
looked at an attendant he was assessed quar-
ter, and held by the throat till he forked over.

with their presence yesterday, on the charge
of disorderly conduct. Edward Wright, her
curly haired and saddle colored darling, was

mansion and raised particular perdition. He
was beastly drunk, and commenced to upraid
his baby" who being frail thing, was fain
to burst her lungs crying bloody murder.
Officer Babe came and found Wright in the
act OF smashing the furniture, and he was
landed in the cooler. Yesterday morning the
blushlng Kate took the stan having in her
hand that unfading symbol of constancy, q
gaudy sunflower, whose sweet aroma she would
sniff anon, as she told how the naughty boy,
whose fine Of fifty good duckets she had paid
the day before; came home drunk and smashed
the furniture and threatened to do all sorts of
bad things. ~
The witnesses were not all present, and
Wright was held until this morning, being
committed in default Of $75 bail. Miss Kate
was then arraigned for dIsorderly conduct, at
the instance of somebody. but as the city was
not ready, the hearing was also continued until
to-day.

Connecticut Democracy.

New HAVEN, Conn.,, Aug. Ex-senator Eaton
was made permanent president of the Demo
cratic State convention. He referred to the
crime of modern times, and appealed to Con-
necticut to set her broad seal of condemnation
upon the fraud of 1876. He had no faith in
it. The expression was vociferiously applaud
ed. He congratulated himself there was but
one feeling in reference to it now. and as he
lived he believed Connecticut would give Ham
cock and English 5000 majority. The govern
ment should be taken out of the hands of those
who fraudulently obtained it. There would
be q saving of at least $5O,O0O,O0O
a year, and Americansihip bottoms would place
in American pockets the $100. 1000, 900 paid
every year to foreigners for freight. 1t was the
lower over all that had brought prosperity.
John Sherman was not even guide post to re-
funding government bonds at per cent. He
could do uything except as ordered by Demo
cratic Congress.
JAMES E. ENGLISH,

The platfJ fJrm adopted is as follows:
ResoLged, That we reafirm the principles adopted
by the national Democracy at Cincinnsu believing
that the of those principles will bring peace,
harmony and prosperity to the people, and will en-
sure permanent reconciliation between our dis
oordant States.
Res0Eyed, That we enthusiastically ratify the NOM
ination of the soldier statesman, Winfield 8. Han
cock. of Pennsylvania, and Of his accomplished ool
league, VIM. II. English. Of Indiana, and pledge
them the electoral vote of Connecticut.
ReSOtUed, That Connecticut cast her electoral vote
in 1876 for the legally and constitutionaIy elected
President Samuel ]. Tilden, SO she will IN 1881. in
casting her electoral votes tor Hancock and English,
set the seal of her condemnation npon the conspira-
tors who defrauded the people at the last Presden
tial election, and committed the greatest political
crime of modern times.
The remaining resolutions relate to State af-
fairs. One asks modification of the law
regarding color blindness, and another says
that legislation tending to make penal institu-
tions selfsupporting should be framed to
prevent the sacrifice of the interests of the
honest and Industrious classes. Adjourned.
