Ohio Republican Convention.

COLUMBUS, o., June 6.-The republic
an state convention was calledt to ordefat
10 o'clock. A great crowd was in atten-
dance, and when the name Of Senator
Sherman was announced as permanent
chairman of the convention, it burst in
to wild enthusiasm and long and cont1n-
ued applause. He reviewed the work
and history Of the republican party, and
said he believed in the protection OF Am
erican labor and in the taxation of thell-
quor traffic; one question was national
and the other state.
The convention proceeded to the nom
ination Of state ticket. Ben ButterWorth
presented +. B. Foraker, of Cincinnati,

Using Poison.

DUBLIN, June TT is rumored that
the sInvinciblesn extensively used poi
son in removing obnoxious persons.
The police are Investigating a number
of cases Of suspicious deaths in the last
few years, especially the case Of a hotel
keeper named Jury, Of Dublin, VINO
died fortnight after the Phoenix Park
murders. From disclosures by informers
the police do not doubt that Jury was
poisoned. The reason alleged for poi
soning is that he inadvertently opened a
letter addressed to lyman, who was
staying at Jury's hotel. Jury discov-
cred that the letter contained directions
in regard to a secret society. Fearing
vengence from members Of the society
Jury destroyed the letter. The mailer
however, informed lyman that Jury
had a letter for him, and it is thought
that Jury's removal was then decided
upon.

good one, and the example set by Hay
Bros. and others this year will be follow
ed by many more in succeeding sea-

ed to driving the sheep through, as they
would have to be herded anyhow, and
the big expense of transportation of the

TRADE.

A RIVER Press reporter yesterday in
terviewed the leading merchants OF Fort
Benton in reference to trade, the pros
poets of the season, etc., with the view
Of laying their opinions before the pub
lie. but the answer to the inquiries
made were so near alike in every case
that we can utilize time and space by
summarizing the "talks,n as all had
about the same story to tell.
AS regards stocks, all, without an ex-
ception, have made larger shipments
than ever before. But this must be evil
dent to any one from the fact that there
are more goods for shipment up the riv-
er to Benton this year than usual, not
withstanding the fact that the Helena
tory has been entirely cut off by the
| Northern and Canadian Pacific rail
roads respectively.
The trade for the season of 1883, thus
far, as compared with the corresponding
period last year, has been on the whole
much better. Some report an increase
of twenty-five, some fifty, and one x
tensive dealer of q hundred per cent.
over the sales of last year. The increase
in the retail trade in the past twelve
months has been very great, and it
seems to be growing steadily, keeping
pace with the settlement Of the great
tributary country.
AS to the trade prospects Of the season
as a whole, the merchants are %sanguine.
The year promises to be a propitious one
for the farmer and stockman, and the
merchants, of course, are benefited to a
great extent by the status of affairs. The
fall trade at the river metropolis never
promised better.
By buying in such large quantities
Benton merchants get their goods at
bedrock prices, and with the additional
advantage CT low river freights they are
able to undeysell the dealers Of any other
town ia Montana, which they are now
doing and propose to do right along.
They have larger and better selected
| stocks with reference to the wants OF
the people of this s%ection) which they
are selling at such liberal prices as to
make it an object for the people to come
here from all points-even the trade
sections claimed by the railroad towns
to do their trading.
This year, as heretofore, there will be
several wool buyers in Fort Benton, this
being the headquarters for the wool
growers of northern and eastern Mon.
tana. They can secure by the river the
very lowest shipping rates, thus ena-
bling them to offer better prices than
buyers at other points. AS a result, the
wool grower who brings his clip to For
Benton reaps a double advantage
better price for his product and lower
figures on whatever supplies he may
have to purchase. 1t counts both ways
and the amount saved on a large clip il
no inconsiderable sum. This fact viii
induce many Of the sheep men who re
side nearer the railroad than the river K
bring their wool to Benton, and they
will be gamers in the operation. Gu.
merchants are counting on a big WOO
trade, and in this they will not be dis
appointed.
