manufacture and of the sale or interchang-
ing of liquors as a beverage, and pledge
ourselves to such additional legislation as
shall secure the rigid enforcement of the
Constitutional provision upon this subject
in all parts of the State.
ReS0Ired, That we demand the enactment
of such laws as will prevent discrimination
by railroad companies and provide for
such freight and passenger tariffs as shall
fully protect the interests OF the public.
ReS0lrcd, That We request the next Legis-
lature to submit such an amendment to the
Constitution of the State as will secure to
women the right of suffrage.
ReSolred, That we request our delegation
in Congress to secure such an amendment
to the revenue laws as will prevent the is.
suing of receipts and stamps to sell intoxi-
eating liquors to any persons other than
those authorized so to do under State laws.
This last resolution was not offered as a
part of the platform, but the Convention

majority of the Congress of the United
States, to pass such laws as will compel
the railways of the State to take patents
for the lands granted them from the pub

the State shall pay its just proportion of
the taxes levied to support the govern

by the number of delegates they are able to
bring to the convention. In Marion coun-
ty, where Hoge's friends expected to secure
a nearly solid delegation for him, there
was an unexpected flare up" in the con-
ysntion which affronted, and nobody seems
to know with any degree of certainty just
how TO place the vote of thstoounty in the
calculation. And this is the case with re-
gard to several other counties whose exact
status will not be known until they are
called to cast their
Vote I'm the Convention.
However, q reporter who Is not able, un-
der any circumstances, to furnish in ad
vance, an estimate of the result of a NOM
mating convention, horse race or an elec-
ton, would not be likely to hold his posi-
ton on any frst-class journal twenty-tour
hours after his failure to do so. do not
propose to be bounced" for any sach
incompetency. The following is my esti-
mate of the result 1t is given after as
careful survey of the whole field as it is
possible to make at this writing. l am
sure it will not be satisfactory to the friends
of either candidate. The Lucas men will
declare that il is much less in their favor
than the facts warrant. / am not governed
in my estimate by what either side may
claim or say. I take my OWN judgments

son of Jefferson and Z. B. Faulkner, OF
Berkely are spoken of. 1t is reported that
McGraw, of Taylor, will nominate Wilson.
The condition of things make it impossible
to arrive at o definite conclusion. A large
number of delegates will arrive in the
morning trains. 8. II. Holt L. s.
Flannery, Barton Payne, J. H
Crave, Frank Beckwith and Samuel Woods
and other prominent gentlemen have ar
rived. Lucas is here and Hoge will arrive
arrive tonight. The convention will meet
at II o'clock. The Lucas men will put for
ward Fontaine Smith for chairman.
The Hoge men have not yet decided on
their candidate for chairman.
Both parties are holding caucuses, and it
is claimed that if Lucas is nominated the
Republicans will run Rev. DR.. Bolton, OF
Marion county. He is said to be strong
man and an able debater. Kitchens weak
ness is acknowledged on all sides.
The Hoge caucus has adjourned, and his
friends, after com mparing votes, are quite
confident.

NICHOLAS, c. H., August l0.-The August
term of the Circuit Court OF Nicholas
county will convene here Wednesday, Au-
gust 10th, with Judge Brannon on the
bench, and lively time and big crowds
are anticipated.
But little civil matters will be attended
to at this term. as the criminal docket is
unusually large and il is expected that
several days will be consumed in the trial
of the Morrises, for the murder Of Hensley,
which was reported to the REGISTER Their
counsel, Duffy and Henderson, are max
ing preparations to have the trial come of
at this court, if the grand jury finds an
indictment, which it will.
The services of Col. J. NJ. French, Of
Mercer county, have been obtained to aid
in the defense of the prisoners. Mr.. French
9 an able lawyer, and no doubt will he of
material aid in this murder trial; but on
what grounds they expect TO save the pris-
onersI do not see. 1t will be very likely
that the trial will be largely attended, as
this is the second murder that has been
committed in Nicholas within thirty years,
and the second since il has been a county.
Mai. John E. Hayes, of Glenvillr, will be
here TO appear for some OF the parties who
were indicted for whipping q man by the
name of Rnsk, last fall. Their trial was to
have come of at the April term, but on ac-

the statement that Turkey and England
are in perfect accord, upholding the
Khediye as the Sultsn's Viceroy, and that

at Kafer-el.Dwar and In the citadel at Cairo,

A MAGNIFICENT Harvest Almost Secured.

WArERTowN, Wis, August 10.-The WIN
ter wheat crop just harvested is the finest
ever raised here, and small damage occurred
to that in the shock. The barley crop is
damaged considerably in quality. Rye
escaped injury, though oats are badly
lodged. The best yield ever known is
looked tor. Spring wheat will turn ont
we'll. The benefit to corn will more than
counterbalance the injury done to other
crops. ....
Southern Illinois reports say corn has
improved greatly in condition by the rains,
and other crops have received compara-
lively little injury.
A st. Paul special says: The past two
days weather has been irreproachable for
harvesting cool, breezy and dry.
In Dakota barley is harvested and mostly
secured. Oats will soon be ready and prom
ises so TO 60 bushels to the acre. Wheat is
filling finely, and some cutting will be done
this week.
MONTREAL, August 10.-Crop reports gath
cred from about 100 places in Ontario aud
Quebec, show the fall wheat is promising
one OF the best crops on record, and spring
wheat is rather more than average. Hay is
fair average; barley rather over than un-
der. Peas and oats heavy crops and roots
promising we'll.
