there are better signs Of improvement
in exchanges. and in judging of Chicago
business, we must not forget that a
Clearing House for grain went in opera
tiOn there during the past year which
changes materially advanced exchanges
arising from speculative operations IN
that market. Boston returns are still
unfavorable, and it is probably due to a
considerable removal of traffic to New
York and other large cities. As usual.
business transactions indicate rather
varying fortunes, aed of considerable
competitions between that and other
cities, although there has lately been a
positive change in the volume of bust
i ness, and the same may be said of an
extraordinary gain at Kansas City, con-
sideri2g prices which had risen very
high at this time last year in orders, ia

fair prospect that the good effect Of the
large crops may over balance all dis

SARArooA, Sept. A.-The Republican
State Convention was called to order by
b. Plstt Carpenter, and on roll from IA
to IL of the delegates selected ex-Sena-
tor Madden as temporary Chairman Of
the convention. The Cornell men voted
for Senator Pits. Cornell and Wads-
worth people announce that they will
make fight on the question of tenn
porary organization, and in that case
the strength of the Folger men will be
| developed.
When the roll call was concluded Geo.
II. Sharpe said the State Committee de-
cided to recommend as temporary chair
man E. l.. Madden, and he nominated
him. = Warner Miller said he did not
think it tho province of the State Com
mittee to dictate who shall be tempor-
| ary chairman. He would not speak of
the Influences that have brought about
that suggestion, bat would nominate s.
L. Pitts, and asked for the ayes and
nays. White Espelled the suggestion.
Tho nomination of Madden had been
impelled by another reason than those
of interest and harmony and good feel
| ing. He seconded the motion that the
ayes and nays be called. The motion
was adopted.
The vote Standardization 25l, Pitts
243. Madden was conducted to the
chair, and made a brief address. Com
mittees were appointed, and Hepburn
read a communication from the anti
Monopoly Committee, which was not
well received.
A communication from the Brooklyn
Young Mems Republican Club was pre-
sented by Delegate Tate, of that city.
| for the consideration Of the Convention.
The delegate said the paper 0ame from
25OO Republicans, who held no office,
| end were not for sale.
Chairman-ihe Chair would say no
Republican is ever for sale. Applause
The committees were not ready to re-
port, and the Convention was kept
waiting until 4:35, when the Committee
ON Contested Seats presented its report
in favor of the admission Of the CON-
testants from King County.
Albert Daggett, from Brooklyn, moved
to disagree with the report. and said
there was not a shadow of reason for
a contest. II such things are to be done
| in King Comfy it will be impossible
to lind decent person to 60 to the pri-
mary or to the polls.
Daggett demanded the delegation be
given its rights, and said the contest
was preposterous and absurd. If right
was not done be promised, that while
King County Republicans would sup
port the ticket, whatever it might be,
fuse to vote. and would let ra8-tail and
bob-tail run the maohine,
Lawson, of the Committee, said Dag
gett's speech was presented to them, and
thoroughly denied and contrOverted.
Gentlemen, I have had, in my long ex-
perience in New York, much to do with
frauds at primaries. lCheerinR and
laughter that interrupted the -peech,
and cries Of QUESTION"
Lawson cOntinued-1m made little slip |
Of the tongue IN leaving out the word |
investigating fraud. but leave the mat !
tor to the Convention.
The report was finally agreed to-
ayes 24S. nays 246.
In the case of Seneca County, Lawson
said be commended the contestants be |
admitted, but the members of the Com |
nlittee on Credentials favored the sit-
ting delegates, and he said he desired to
make minority report.
A desultory discussion followed, and
the question was called.
The Committee on Delegates insisted
on the motion to substitute the minor
ity report.
The Chair said tho motion was made
too late.
Great confession ensued, and amid
cheers and hisses the Chair said the |
rules which controlled the Convention
did not provide for the presence Of po-
licemen to put down disorder, but they |
were such as all gentlemen would obey.
He then announced the ayes and nays
had been called on tho question Of the |
adoption Of the report ct the Commit
tee, and the vote resulted-ayes N,

The report was declared rejected amid
applause.
