adopting rules, platform, adjusting contrasting
claims of delegates, &c.
On Monday Of this week, the balloting be-

about an average of 80, aud Edmunds an
average of 80 votes. A few scattering votes
were given for Window, Garfield, Hartranf.t.
&c.
TUESDAYS PROCEEDINGS.
The night was spent In consultation and
urgent argument, and the delegates assembled
at 10 o'clock with consciousness that the re-
suit must be reached In short order The
audience was smaller than usual and the dele
gates seemed thoroughly exhausted.
The first ballot was watched with eager
interest, which was Gained by question of
order in Alabama, resulting in loss of one
for Grant. Massachusetts made the irst
break, transferring nineteen votes from Ed
for Blaine from Minnesota and other changes
followed rapidly.
The twenty-ninth ballot resulted Grant
800; Blaine, 278; Sherman, 116; Edmunds
10; Washburns, 35 Window, Garfield. g.
The 30th to the SD ballots made but little
change.
Wisconsin, on the thirty fourth ballot, cast
sixteen votes for Garfield amid much cheering
Garfield did not change countenance or move
Ih, ace nf ha hal ell
than most of the Others
MIR. Garfield rose to point of order after
the ballot, saying no one had right to vote
for man without that mans consent. Such
consent had not been given. The Chairman
ruled Mr.. Garfield out of order.
Thirty fifth Ballot--Grant 313, Blaine 257,
Sherman 80, Edmunds II, Washburne 49,
Window g. Garfield 80.
On this ballot the Indiana delegation gave
their full vote to Mr.. Garfield.
On the thirty-sixth ballot there was the
widest excitement when the Blaine ranks
broke. Iowa gave Garfield 49, Massachusetts,
gave him 90, New York 20 to 80 for Grant,
New Jersey its entire IS, Maryland 10 to 9
for Grant, Wisconsin 16, Illinois Z, Indiana
30, Connecticut II, Georgia 1. Kansas, Lou
isiana and even Maine joined the column.
Garfield, as Chairman of the Ohio delega-
ton, refused to announce the vote of that
State for himself.
State after State Joined the winning column,
and the scene became indescribable. The
galleries and floor were wild with enthusiasm,
cheer followed cheer, and the Chairman was
unable to control them.
Garfield's face was rigidly set, and he sat
quietly looking straight forward during the
entire time. This was especially noticeable
when the Maine delegation left Blaine and
gave him fourteen votes.
Cheers followed cheers, and crowd con-
gregated congratulating the Ohio delegation
Ohio gave cheer, which showed the tide was
running fiercely.
The bands then began playing, and the en-
tire audience, delegates .and spectators, sang
Rally Around the Flag
Order was finally restored, and the ballot
was announced

BlackSilks

Such a stock as Black Silk
affords the best fest of the
spirit of a merchant. 1t con-
stitutes too large a part of his
trade to be trified with; and
as he conducts that, SO he
considersjt wise to conduct
the rest of his business. You
have here the clue to his POI
Icy. If he sells snowy silks
at a low price and calls
them cheap because they are
snowy, or if he sells heavy
silks at a low price and calls
them cheap because they are
heavy, he either does not
know his business or delibe-
rately cheats. To be snowy
is nothing; to be heavy is
nothing. A snowy silk
may be nearly all cotton; a
heavy silk may be nearly all
dyel
We are frank enough to
say that few statesmen or mer-
chants can tell a good silk
from one that is not good ;
and often, when a bad silk
is sold. neither the merchant
nor his salesman has a sus-
picion of the fact.
But the great industry of,
silk-manufacture, using mil
lions upon millions of capital
and thousands upon thou
sands of human lives, is not
conducted in ignorance of it's
raw material or of its pro-
duct. Few undertakings of
man are based OH more exact
knowledge. Do you ina
CINE, then, that there need
be any considerable uncer-
tainty about the quality Of a
silk which we place before
you There is necessarily
just this ground of uncertain
ty, and no other: a good silk
is sometimes spoiled in the
last process of manufacture,
and the fact can be found
out only by wearing it.
The buyers problem is
how to get the certain good
and avoid all that can be
avoided of the uncertain bad.
And this is the answer buy
of a merchant whose general
plan of business is to deserve
your confidence by never be-
traying it, either through ig-
norancc or indifference and
whose dealings are large
enough to give him the best
in The market at the bottom
re the ,.,arket price.
This is all that can be pro-
fitably said about buying
silks in general. 1t covers
the whole ground and is the
whole science of buying for
persons without a special.
technical, and very rare
knowledge of goods.
But very likely you want
to know what we mean by a
good silk, and what good
silk costs BY a good silk
/ we mean one that will not
disappoint reasonable expec-
tations as to appearance,
either when new or old. .
A good silk may be got
here for a dollar. The best
silk can be got here for two
dollars; after that, it is a
matter of weight alone. The
best and heaviest we have in
plain black silk is six-and-a-
half dollars
We have no dealing in
any silk that we have any
distrust Of; and if you want
to know what we think of
any particular piece of silk
that we sell, you can learn
by asking.

SUFFERING AMONG SMALL FARMERS.
There Is considerable suffering among small
farmers in western Ireland who are too proud

kind suited to the sufferers.

government would make an advance for Ire

4 BIT OF HISTORY.

Mr.. VIM. Lochren, of Minneapolis, pre-
tends to be an exceedingly loyal Democrat.
He is so stiff necked that he thinks Wash
burns bribery and corruption ought to be
overlooked with thanks.
There is perhaps no better test of mans
loyalty to his party than the degree of his
willingness to sacrifice his own personal in
terests and ambitions for the benefit of his
political organization. In 1875 there was a
very interesting Senatorial contest in this
State. Mr.. Donnelly was nominated by a
Democratic legislative caucus as a candidate
for the position. For three days or more he
was regarded as the Democratic standard
bearer. At the end of that time he conclud-
ed to retire and let another name be pre-
scented to see if more votes could
be obtained. The new name was
VIM. Lochren. Mr.. Lochren was
the candidate for two or three DAYS and his
election was found to be impossible. His
party accordingly asked Lin to retire but he
begged to be allowed to 'stick." in fact he
declared he would not retire without at least
another ballot in the open legislature. He
could not be made to see that progressive

A Destruc. i've Blast,

At the corner of Wacouta and Fourth streets
an excavation is being made for the new build
ing to be occupied by the Northern Pacific rail
road company as their headquarters. Owing to
the ground being frozen blasting is necessary,
and blast was prepared yesterday morning
which had more than the desired effect
The fuse was lighted, and for some reason the
blast was not covered with boards. as is usually
done. The explosion threw the dirt and stones
around in a manner not expected, one large
boulder going through window in the second
story of the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
building, on the opposite corner, and twenty
five panes of glass were broken by the flying
dirt and stones. Two sections of the cornice
at the top of the building were also badly
damaged, and will have to be replaced with
new ones. Tue damage will amount to 1900.

the Seat to DOnnelty.
Washington Special Chicago Times.
The subcommittee of the House committee
on elections having in charge the case of Don
nelly against Washburn took final action to, day
and decided, by strict party vote, to unseat
Washburn and seat Donnelly. According to
the calculation of Mr.. Armfeld MIR. Donnelly
is entitled to the seat by majority of 1865. The
other two members of the subcommittee give
him the place by larger majority. Armfelds
calculation, giving Donnelly the smallest ma
iority, will he the one which the Republicans
will attempt to overcome. According to it the
total vote returned for Washburn was 90 942.
Armield throws out 1910. leaving him 1922
votes. Armfeld gives him in precincts not
counted before 2l2 votes, making his total le-
gal vote II, asa.
DoNNELLY' 8 VOTE
as returned was II 1929. Armfeld throws out
for him SAL, leaving him l7,0S8. He then
gives him, from precincts that have not been
counted for him before, SCI votes, making his
total legal vote II, GAG, which elects him by a
majority of 165. The committee had no diff
Guilty in throwing out large portion of the
contested votes outside of Minneapolis, where
they encountered most trouble. There is a law
in Minnesota applying to cities of over L.. 900
inhabitants, requiring election officers to

This law was intended to apply to st. Paul and

members of the committee that in six pre-
cincts of Minneapolis this decision was disre-
garded, and it is upon this ground alone that
| the ballots cast at these precincts, where Wash
burns majority was very great, were thrown

out for Washburn was ,7C0 This still left ma

Democrats found no difficulty in overcoming

country.

II is probable that Mr.. Window will have
to bear the onus of originating and promot-
ing the negro exodus from North Carolina to
Indiana. An ex-senator of the State of
Virginia yesterday announced his intention
of swearing to that effect, but as Mr.. Win
dom was not present to hear his testimony
and to cross-examlne him, he asked that his
testimony be postponed. So fair request
could not be denied, and Mr.. Window will
subject. He will not be pleased, we opinau
with the notoriety in store for him.

Democrat could obtain heavier vote than
himself 1t was in vain that the interests of
the party were urged. He was memorable.
1t is matter of private history that there
were votes enough pledged to have elected
another man. They would not go to MIR.
Lochren but were ready to support more
progressive Democrat. If Mr.. Lochren did not
succeed in one more trial he finally agreed
to go, but that delay WAS fatal. The
Republicans learned of their impending peril
the next and last day of Lochren and con-
bined on Mcmillan. Senator Mcmillan is
to-day indebted to VIM. Lcchren for his
seat.
and still Mr.. Donnelly, not having been
born Democrat, is not good enough to be
politically recognized by MIR. Lochren.

Hrs. COnkting's Sacrifices.

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times, under date of the 18th,
says:
A prominent society lady in this city, who
has been here great many years, and who
knows Horatio Seymour's family WE'LL of
which Mrs. Conkling is member. gave the
history, the other day, OF another construc-
ton of the Sprague Conkling reconciliati IN.
This lady said Mrs. Conkling is made of the
stuff of martyrs; that she never has beef.
anything more to Mr.. Conkling than m rely
wife in name, since his first scan ialous
episode, some years ago, with Mrs. Frank
Howe, of New York; and that, on account
of her children, she has resolved to do every
thing to keep from augmenting any scandals
occasioned by her husband. When MIR.
Conkling refused to come home t, attend
his daughters wedding, it was on
account of that daughters re
peatedly expressing contempt for
his course, and the upbrsidings which she
gave him in her mother behalf. After the
Canonchet affair Mr.. Conkling did try to
pursuade his wife to write a note to Mrs.
Sprague, expressing sympathy for her and
belief in her honesty. This letter was to
have been printed in the newspapers imme-
diately afterward. But Mrs. Conkling could
not bring herself to write an absolute lie of
this sort, signed with her own name. So,
finally, this dinner was arranged in Washing
ton as substitute for her letter; but it
WIS only after long time that that could
be accomplished. Mrs. Conklipg does not
pretend to have the slightest reconciliation
with her husband, but went through the per-
Torrance st his request for the purpose of
protecting the family. This was tn, plea
that was successfully proposed to he-, and
| she left her home the day after it WIS ac-
J complished.

SENATOR Macdonald. of Indiana. ak

SENATOR MACDONALD, of Indiana, ex-
presses the opinion that when the votes at
the next election are counted the Democrats
of that State will be accused of importing
white voters. He bases his opinion on the
revulsion of feeling caused among the peo-
pie by the Republican attempt to change
the political condition of the State by import
ing ignorant negroes and by this means
throwing hundreds and even thousands of
white laborers out of employment. We are
satisfied that Senator Mcdonald has propa-
esied rightly, for no such outrage can be
attempted without resultant reaction.
