NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Yet to be
Held.

I1Ckas
Republican Conventions are yet to
be held in the following States to APP
point delegates at large, four from each
State, representing the United States
Senators from the same, in the Chi
cigo National Convention, June I'd,
for the nominating of candidates for
President and Vice President:
Connecticut, April I; Iowa, Ken
tuckv and Missouri, April IA; Massa-
chusetts, April Is; Oregon, Virginia
and Georgia, April 21; Ohio and Ar
kansas, April %; California and South
Carolina, April 90; Tennessee and
Wisconsin, May 5; New Hampshire,
New Jersey and Maryland, May 6 /;
Nevada, May IL; Florida, Michigan
and West Virginia, May 70; Illinois,
May 10.
Conventions have already been held
in Maine, Rhode Island, Indiana and
Kansas, instructing for Blaine in New
York for Grant, with district delegates
left uninstructed in Pennsylvania for
Grant, as to delegates at large, and
disputed and divided as to the district
delegates; in Vermont for Edmunds !;
in North Carolina for Sherman, by
districts.
The Blaine men confidently claim
the leading vote on the first ballot, and
unless the southern States instruct
pretty solidly for Grant their hopes
will be realized. AS it looks at pres
ent Sherman will divide the south with
Grant Should the southern States
however make this nomination the
misfortune will be that they cannot
help to elect the nominee in November.
DEMOCRATIC.
The Democratic National Conven-
tion is to be held in Cincinnati on June
23d. No State Conventions have as vet
we believe been held. The Pennsyl
vania one comes off on April 2Sth, and
judging from present appearances will
be for Tilden. Allegheny, Lawrence
and other counties have already in
structed their delegates for him.

ALL the effort before the Pardon
Board at Harrisburg, last Saturday,
seems to have been to save Mr. Kem-
BILE, one of the defendants. Many let

for him, and but very few for Mr..

account But this shows wrong sem

How Cameron Feels Over It.

A dispatch from Washington, dated
last Monday, says:
Nothing has occurred for long
time to give so much annoyance, to
awake so much uneasiness, in the
mind of Don Cameron as the failure of
Kemble and his associates to capture a
majority of the Pa don Board at Har-
risburg. Cameron was bitterly op-
posed to the prosecution of kemble
from the first He denounced and
sneered at the reformers, the theorists
in politics" as he calls them, who
thought to upset the purchase system,
and announced at semi-political meet
ing at Washington, early last summer,
his contempt for Wolfe, Mapcs and
others of that type. Now Wolfe's tri-
umph and the flight of the bribers,
coming so soon upon the Blaine revolt,
has made him feel angry and nervous.
He has shown this in conversation
since Saturday Mr.. Cameron exerted
himself to the utmost through every
agency to have Kemble let off His
failure is regarded here as sign that
he is not so firmly in the saddle in
Pennsylvania after all, as was thought" 3"

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1880-02-11

New York, Feb. 10-The Times in
an editorial says that the Argentine Re-
public is apparently on the point of
throwing her sword into the scale of
the allies, while Chill prepares for this
stroke by calling $4,000 men to her flag.
Chili's quarrel with the LaPlat republic
is far older than the one with Bolivia,
and threatened war years ago. Its
subject is the ownership of Patagonia.
Both countries found themselves study
ing the question of what their actual
possessory rights in Patagonia were at
the time of throwing off the Spanish
yoke. They differed totally in the re-
suits of their investigation and talked
of resorting to blows as means of set
Element The matter has remained in
statu quo, but the Argentine govern
ment has been jealous of Chili's
military and naval prowess. 1t recog
nizes that its time to interfere for the
settlement of all questions affecting its
autonomy is now or never.
The first effect of this intervention
would be to restore the naval strength
Of the allies. 1t is said that the Argen-
tine Republic has already bought the
Roma and Venezia. The story doubt
less gains credit from the natural
friendliness of Italy toward the Italian
people on the LaPlata. The Roma and
| Venezia are ranked on the new Italian
list in the highest class of Italy's iron
clads. They are sister ships, 25) feet
long, costing 81, ,l55, 900, and carrying
six IS ton and two IL ton Armstrong;
Even the present navy of the Argentine
Republic is by no means contemplate,
although probably inferior to that of
Chill. 1t includes half a dozen IRON
clads, two of which are English built
tnrret vessels, 1S4x44, and each carry
ing two 800 pound Armstrong;. The
other four iTonclads, also of English
build, are smaller, and there are several
additional vessels in the Argentine navy
some iron and some wooden.

FATHER HAYES.
In this connection the following from
NJ. J. Dougherty, Charlestown. coun-
ty Mayo, is applicable. Mr. D. writes
to the Freeman as follows:
On yesterday was shockt d
to find that family, one of them only
five years old-and this is what gives
the case its pitiful aspect-were in at
tendance during the week without hav-
ing taken breakfast on any day until
after their return from school, and /
give you for its novelty the fare they
have them partake of. 1t is thus con-
trived: The eldest of the six orphans,
with the widowed mother, during the
absence of the others at school, go into
a neighboring field to dig up the innu-
tritious remains of the potatoes de-
stroyed some weeks ago by the frost;
these are peeled, quartered, and baked
on a pan, and eaten without further
treatment. When these are rotted
away what have they to live on? These
orphans are here again to-day, but
were more fortunate on this than the
other mornings, as the mother hap
pened on a good ridge yesterday, and
there was as much OF the stays (pota-
toes destroyed by frost) left as gave
breakfast. There is another very sad
case in which II family have lived to-
day and yesterday on one quart of meal
which was borrowed from neighbor,
who had himself only one stone of meal,
and who told me he had not one shil-
is that some innocent littse one may
drop dead at my feet in the school
room, and think would not be blame
less If l neglected to raise my humble
voice in their behalf.

Invasion or Indian Territory.

New York, Feb. 10.-A. Washington
special to the Herald says: A procla-
nation is expected from the president
within few day in regard TO the re-
ported combinations in Kansas and
Missouri for the invasion of Indian
Territory by large bodies of squatters.
The purpose of the president to prevent
this will be clearly set forth, and the
necessary disposition of troops to en-
force the positions of the proclamation,
will be made at once. AS matter of
fact, some of the orders, to the proper
commanding officers, have already been
Issued.

sherman VS.. spear.

New York, Feb. 10.-The Tines
Washington special says: Representa-
tive Spear, of Georgia, recently intro
duced in the house bill to prohibit
bands of the army playing music on
Sunday. This bill it seems is objec-
tionable to Gen. Sherman, and that dis
tinguished officer has written letter
to Spear, in which he threatened to re-
move the troops from the garrison at
Atlanta if that gentleman presses his
bill. This has brought upon Spear a
large number of letters from Atlanta
protesting against its passage. Spear
has been irritated by Sherman's method
Of expressing opposition to his measure,
and proposes to rise to personal ex-
planation and call the general of the
army to account for threatening to use
his official influence to defeat measure
pending in congress, and for attempt
ing to intimidate members of the house.
