Chairman of the State Central Committee,
| 10 o'clock. In his address he said: "We
meet here as Republicans, not as Democrats
or Readjusters, to nominate ticket.
| Wilson (colored) of Norfolk was elected
permanent Chairman. The Readjusters are
soreheads from both parties, and they are
trying hard to defeat the Republicans in the
Convention. The Republicans cannot in
dorse reputation.
J. E. Desenorf moved that the Convention
adjourn. so that the committee of coalition
lists might get tickets to the hall.
Arnold bitterly opposed it. He wanted
some assurance that the coalitionists would
act in good faith. He believed every man
here honest and incorruptible.
Republican committees were appointed and
recess taken.
In the afternoon there was long discus
sion on the coalition question, after which a
recess was taken till P. NJ.

The Irish Convention.
CHICAGO, August 10th.-The Irish Con-
vention has probably adjourned sine die,
although there remains number of those
who control the fund. The Convention
being unable to get statement from the
trustees of the fund, the more reputable dele

England, withdrew, headed by DIR. Hoar, of
Lowell, and Captain O'Meagher Condor, of
Washington, and they have gone home. This
Convention practically ends the Clan Nagel
Society. There is no doubt that honest men
were in a majority in the Convention, but
they were unable to rule.

Appeals are being made from settlers along
the Missouri to send more troops to Forts
Yates and Lincoln. It is admitted by the
officers in command at Yates that the forces
are wholly inadequate to squelch an outbreak
should one occur.
To-day two squaws were caught carrying
ammunition and guns into Sitting Bulls
camp. He undoubtedly means mischief, and

which will keep the Indians in subsection.
