THE CONTEST IN TIE FIRST DISTRICr-rHE Stall
WARTS DEFEATED IN THE CONVENTION
lBY TEr EGRAPH 10 THE TRiBUNE'l
UTICA. Sept. SIT has been known Tor some days
that the StalN arts were to he IN a small minority
in the lst District Convention OF Oneida, winch
met this afternoon to elect delegates 10 tue oara-
too, convention. Speculation has been rife as to
the means they would employ to get up contest
in the Convention on the strength of which they
could send boiling delegation to Saratoga. THIS
course was expected of them because it is the line
thev uniformly pursued in Oneida County last fall,
contestng all three of the districts after having
hecn bcoten at the caucuses in each. The suspicion
was warranted by the fact that the new Inter nal
Revenue Collector, Mr. Armstrong, caused a second
Republican caucus to he called in New-llartford
the other day with view of excluding the
REGULARLY elected delegates OF that town from the
convention until after the Stawarts had obtained
posscssion of the organization. These bogus dele
Gates presented themselves to-day and with the
NewITartford DELEGATES left of the roll of the con-
veuton stood eight to eight the question OF the
election Of a chairman. Ntalwart then moved
that the question of the New Hartford contest be
left TO the decision of the district committee. ms
proposition the Garfield Republicans instantly ac-
cepted and it was unanimously adopted. ne de-
cison OF the district committee was to : against
the StalWarts. As was Jhclr own Pi"P''i'''"
tney were without r.cOurso except to submit anu
then enSncd tne quietest convention the hepuo-
lcans have held in the Ist District in years.
The Stalwarts presented no candidates Tor etato
delegates although it is known that the list pre-
pared in the event Of their controlling the conVen-
ton WAS headed by ex-senator COnkling. Ihe
delegates elected are Erastu> Clark or tlca: cX-
Asserblynan H. j. CookIngham Of New Hartford,

Gen. Harvey was very dignified
man, and was puuctilious in regard to
all matters of drill and etiquette. One
evening, when in camp at Camp Verde,
in Texas, Just before dress parade, he
found he had forgotten his handker-
chief, and told an orderly to hurry back
to his quarters and get it.
The orderly touched his cap and
started for the quarters, several hun
dred yards distant. After he had pro-
ceeded a short distance, remembering
that there was no time to lose, he broke
into trot.
"See that scoun lrel running as if the
Indians were after him. If there is any,
thing l hate, it is to seea soldier running
instead of marching properly. Here,
my man," continued Harvey to another
soldier, ''go after that fellow, and tell
him L say to walk.
The second soldier started after the
first, but rs the first one kept on
running, the second one saw his only
chance to deliver the message was to
hurry up, so he, too, broke into a run.
Here, sergeant. go after that man
and tell him if he don't stop running,
I'll hang him up by the thumbs"
The sergeant started out in brisk
walk, but as his predecessor had good
start, he, too, began to run as hard as
he could.
"If all three OF the scoundrels aint
running like jack rabbits!" calculated
Harvey. "I'll show EN-" and tucking
his sword under his arm, he started in
pursuit as fast as he could run, but sud
denly remembering his dignity he came
to halt, and walked stiffiy and slowly
back to the place where the dress parade
was to come off.

The English are the best customers
for American canned salmon. Most Of
the Sacramento River salmon 20 TO the
Atlantic cities, but Liverpool draws the
bulk Of its supply fiom Oregon, either
direct from the Columbis River or
through San Francisco. The Fraser
River salmon all go to England direct
from Victoria. Last season the Fraser
River sent 146, 600 cases to Europe. It
is expected that as many more will be
canned here this season for the same
market. The Columbia River sent $780,.
700 cases direct 10 Europe for the year
ending March 81. Thus far this season
three cargoes have been cleared direct

companion, old Uncle Dick Lewis, see
ing that he made no effort to save him
self, got hold of him and succeeded in
drawing him to the bank. 1t was then
discovered that the negro was still asleep,
his cold bath having no effect on him
whatever. Uncle Dick managed to
awaken him by rolling him in the mud
and wearing out two or three lightwood
knots over his head. When the darkey
awoke he expressed much surprise to
find his clothes wet, and he asked Uncle
Dick to explain. The Quitman News,
from which the above is quoted, thinks
that Brooks County is entitled to the
medal for having the drowsiest darkey in
America.
