would contribute 500 now as Alabama's
share. 1t was finally decided, 40 to 80 to con-
tinue the central council with three members
only. Several members asserted that parties
had voted who were not delegates, which as
sertion caused some half dozen persons 10 sud
denly leave the hall, and doubt having been
thus cast upon the correctness OF the vote 1t
was decided to call the roll. Upon the dlspo-
sition of the amendment as a result OF the
call the first vote was sustained.
The chairman, General Collins, and the sec
rotary, Mr.. Flaherty, declining re- election, and
heartily approving of the minority report, the
convention adopted that report, declaring
James Mooney and John j. Hines, both of
Buffalo, to be the choice of the convention for
president and secretary respectively. General
Collins was chosen first vice president on mo-
ton of Father Cronin.
Mr.. Egan, at Paris, telegraphs acknowledge
ing the receiot of $685., 900 from America, and
thanking the friends Of Ireland in this coun-
try for their noble exertions.
The retiring secretary explained the Difficult
ties of that position. and asked the convention
to increase the salary from 5000 to 81 200 per
annum. This was done, and Flaherty was
voted an extra compensation OF 5000 FOL his
services for the past year.

ESPECIAL to Western Associated Press. !

CHICAGO, April 13.-There was a genuine
boom in all kinds of grain to-day, and the
only explanation seemed to be that while a
good many spectators who study statistics
closely are short, the country at large, the
small scalpers and few very prominent deal
ers are long and are bulling the market with
the greatest pertinacity and success.
News, which in ordinary times
would tend to depress prices, seems
now to have no effect whatever. Wheat was
active, feverish, nervous and unsettled
throughout the session, opening 4@K above
Yesterdays close on call, then went down u @
&c, but Immediately rallied, and with numer-
GUS fluctuations advanced &c. This brought
out many sellers, and rates again dropped 80
&c, then once more reacted, and at the close
was &c higher for May, z C for June, &c for
July. Receipts small, weather clear, cool and
bright, and the market stimulated by sharp
call for flour. Just after o'clock prices ad-
vanced sharply to outside buyers figures
Sales, $1.265s@12Sh for May. $l.26% 1.29A
June, $I.22% @1.234 for July, and $l.O0M@
1O9X for August. On call SAILS were 1,655, 900
bushels, and prices rsh ged hissaier, closing Mc
higher for some options.
Corn rivaled wheat In activity. Speculation
began with a rush and continued heavy all
day Local and outside parties were dealers in
about an even degree. Early transactions
showed an advance of 34@1c, and soon s6@1ac
was added. About the middle of the session
offerings were large and prices dropped 40
116c, but the drop was more than recovered
and about the highest prices of the day ruled
at the close, when they were 11a@1slc higher
than yesterdays close. Sales were chiefly IN
May, and ranged at 765s@77115c for May; 745ss
@7515c for June and July; and 74@745sc for
August On call, sales were 100000 bushels
and prices moved up 1s@15c.
Oats were very quiet for cash, but although
offerings were limited, the demand seemed
to increase In just the proportion that the
supply was scant. There was another strong
upward drive and prices were stronger on the
call even than the regular board, and sales on
the call were phenominally heavy, being 645,-
600 bushels. The advance on change was
1@2Hc over yesterday, and on the call
16@%c.
Pork was in active request, but prices were
very irregular, and though firm at the open
ing, soon weakened 2O@25c. This was, how
ever, recovered at the close. On call the ad-
vance was 7H@15c. Sales were lively, aggre'
eating $4,000 barrels, and the feeling was
buoyant
At the close lard was quite weak, but the
feeling on the whole was rather weak, and
after brief squirt upward of 211s@5c, rates
sagged 10@15c, and then rallied toward the
close TX @10c, closing just steady. On call
sales were $500 tierces, and prices 2x OK C
higher AL round.

The Democratic Can.petan

WASHINGTON, April 1S,-The free trade
Democrats are making strenuous efforts to
have the coming political campaign conducted
upon the issue of tariff reform, but this is
stoutly opposed by the otectionists, and,
not only by the protectio- So, hut by Others
Of the party, who, though themselves in favor
of tariff reform, plan to make an issue of II
ia the presidential campaign. Some party
leaders, who advocate making the tariff re-
form prominent this year, with a view of
lighting the next presidential campaign upon
it, are provoked at the disposition manifested
TO avoid this issue.
One of these, prominent member of con.
gress. said to-day he had no hopes of Demo
cratic success until theparty declare itself upon
distinctive principles; that he was in favor OF
the party planting itself squarely upon tariff
reform and saying to those who do not agree
with this issue that they had better get out OF
the Democratic party. He said as long as one
half the Democrats in congress continue to
vote against the other half on questions in
which the people are mostly interested, we
will never succeed"

KAssoN, MIMI, April ia disastrous fire
occurred here this morning. About 2:30
o'clock our citizens were aroused from their
peaceful slumbers by the dread alarm of fire
and seeking Its location, it was found to be
the lately built and beautiful school house.
On arriving In the vicinity it was found use
less to attempt to save the building, but it
was thought to save the furniture. The citi-
zens were unable TO do this, such fearful head
way had the fire made.
1t is the undoub!ed work of an incendiary
and so well had he done his fendish work
that when the alarm was given it was impos-
sible to enter the building. The fire had evil
IDENTIFY been set first in the garnet as the bell
soon fell showing it had burned long unseen.
1t was substantial brick building, two
stories and basement, built in 1879. It's cost
when furnished was about $4,000, and &C.
cupied with a thriving school and CON-
petent corps of teachers.
A second attempt to fire the place was made
in the rear of the store occupied by Wilson &
Ottlness. A roll of cotton we'll saturated
with kerosene had been placed in the back
cellarway, and but for its timely discovery
would have made sad havoc with one of our
best business blocks. Altogether it was
most fiendish attempt to burn the town and
had its perpetrator been found this morning
none could tell what might have happened.
The loss on the school house is total with
an insurance of about $4,000 on building and
furniture.

One was gambler and had been tried for lar

teacher, had forged pay rolls and swindled a
bank in Columbia and seduced some OF his pu-
pills; another had swindled colored woman
out of tract of land. Every witness examin-

Republicans at York

AS there appears to be general misunder-
standing as to the action OF the Republican
national committee on the general call for the
next national convention, Marshall Jewell,
chairman of the committee, now IN Wash
ington, authorizes the following statement:
At the national Republican convention in
June 1880, a resolution was unanimously
adopted directing the committee to prescribe,
within the next twelve months from that time,
the method or methods for the election of
delegates to the nation nal convention to be
held in 1854, to announce the same to the
country and to issue a call IN conformity
Herewith; provided that such methods or
rules shall include and secure to the several
congressional districts the right to elect their
own delegates to the national convention. AT
a meeting of the committee on the LIST of July,
1880, request was publicly made for the
transmission to the committee of plans and
suggestions on this subject from any period
prior to February 1, 1881. A full meeting of
the national committee was held in Washing
ton in March, 1881, to con-
slider this subject. At that meeting
the committee consisting of VIM. E. Chand-
Ter, Geo. c.. Gorham and Edward Mcpherson,
made a report on the question. The majority
report expressed the views of Chandler and
Mcpherson, and the minority views were held
hy Gorham. Both plans were fully discussed
at that meeting, the discussion chiefly turning
on the question of district representation and
next of representation based on the Republic
can vote. The issue of this debate was the
unanimous adoption by the committee of the
following resolution:
EsReSolued, That in accordance with the Or
der of the Republican National convention of
1880, the call for the convention of 1884 shall
provide for securing to the several congress
sonal districts the right of each to elect its
own delegates to such national convention;
that the details of the methods or rules to be
included in such call shall be determined at a
future meeting of the committee to be held
within one year from this date; aud that the
whole subject be now referred to committee
of five who shall make report at such meet
ing.
Forbes, Jno. A. Martin and G. T. Filley were
appointed the committee under this resolution
TO consider and report upon the subject of
representation of territories aud District of
Columbia In the national convention and on
the national committee.

Ordway Explains.

YANKroN, D. T., April 13.-Gov. Ordway
furnishes the following, which is sent in JUS
tice to him: The dispatch sent from here and
appearing in the press of the 18th inst, rela-
ting to the action of certain citizens who
served as grand jurors, grossly misrepresents
the facts
The statement that the Douglas county
commission appointed by ex-Gov. Ordway
have issued thousands of dollars of fraudu
lent warrants is not true. There is no evil
dence that but one of these appointed by the
governor, namely, Walter II. Brown even
participated in the issuance Of fraudulent war.
rants. On the contrary it has been proven
that all the fraudulent issues have
been made by pretended board of
commissioners, majority of whom were not
appointed by the governor, and for whose
actions he is no more responsible than the
foreman of the grand jury. Another state
ment that Douglas county was organized
within week after the application was made
is not true, nor is the statement true that any
resident of Douglas county or any other per-
son entered any protest or objections against
the organization before the commission were
issued, neither is it true that the governor has
DELAYED the organization of any county for
months under similar circumstances, or in any
case unless there were protests or objections
filed. The petition contained more than the
fifty names required by law, was duly sworn
to by Brown, the party presenting Thrown
having been introduced to the governor and
strongly recommended by members of the
legislative assembly from the district in
which Douglas county is situated.
There was no mail service in the county at
the time, owing to the snow blockade. Com
munication was practically cut off, hence the
statement of the members of the legislative
assembly, which was then in session at Yank-
ton with the verified petition, were deemed
sufficient evidence OF the necessity for early
organization. The members of the
grand jury who claimed to have passed
the unwarranted and impertinent
resolution say that they deem 1t their duty as
citizensof the territory to express their opin-
ion that the governor acted too hastily, yet
they refused to take any evidence bearing upon
the complaint, which they make against the
governor ,action, although the governor was
present at the jury room and demanded to be
heard Immediately preceding the final ad.
journmeut. of this plant body. 1t is ridicu.
lous attempt to stamp the executive through
unauthorized papers, which the judge de-
clined to read, thus far to make public only
increases the reputation of certain
Yankton county officials.
