III sold one of your Patent Dust
Proof Cases about ten months ago, and
the other day it came back to me with
the request to make it wind easier. On
examination found that the stem was
rusty, and inquired into the cause Of
it. The gentlemen stated to me that
he was starting some saw-logs that had
lodged in the bend of the river, whom
bis chain caught in q bush and threw
his watch into about twelve feet of va.
ter, and be was about two hours 6nd-,
ing it. When he got it ont it was run
ming and he thought all right. In
about three months be found that the
stem was hard to turn and sent it to
me.
l can cay that the watch is all that
the company claims for it and recon-
mend it to all railroad and mill men.

TOWN AND COUNTRY IN CONVEN-
TON.

Under this heading the New Or.
leans Picay'sne Of last Saturday, calls
attention to the gross fraud flor that
is the proper name for it) practiced
by the Central Executive Committee
of our party in appolliouing The rep
resentation in the nominating Con-
vention of 1879. That fraud con-
sisted in violating the usage OF the
party, and adopting as the basis of
representation the vote Of 1875 in
stead of 1878, and the incentive to
the commission of the wrong was
that the representation of the City
was thereby greatly increased.
This Journal endeavord to impress
this malpractice upon the public
mind two years ago, and tee Plea
yune is but echoing our warning then
given to the Committee, not to at.
tempt REPETITION of discreditable
trick, for If the attempt Is accom-.
plished, the country will surely
revolt.
No one but certain tricksters in
the City wants to give any advau
tage to any locality. Our idea and
that of all fair minded democrats il
that city and country are on the
same basis. They must be treated
alike. Each is entitled and must
have the representation to which its
vote entities it, and neither cannot
Justly claim more. The City de
mocracy has never claimed more,
but its members OF the Committee
so contrived that it should have
more, and the continuance was made
in order that it might foist upon the
party a nomination that could never
have been accomplished by fair
means.
The Picayunc lisclaims belief tina,
the Committee intends a second de-
parture from the fixed rule of appor'
tionment. What the present Com.
mittee intends will be best known
when it acts, but the country has
not forgotten that at the very last
change in the organization, when
Mr.. Eustis suspiciously resigned the
Craftsmanship and Mr.. Fitzpatrick
took his place, a City member-one
Mealey- instantly proposed to fix
the basis of representation for the
next Convention, a body which was
not to sit in three years. After that
hibiiion of indecent haste, the
ptry democrats do not need the
Qnition of the Picayune "to look
y after their interests in this
cayatne is misinformed when
it saJ sFhat "the party outside Of
New Orleans has hitherto taken lit
tie active intssest in the personnel
of its delegations to the State ..nomi
mating Conventions" The contrary
has been the rule, but at the last
nominating Convention there were
but two candidates for Governor and
both from the City. The City dele
gates adroitly suggested to those
from the country that as there were
no candidates for that Office from the
country, they should permit tht
City to signify its choice as between
the two aspirants, and the country
delegates fell into the trap thus Gun
ningly set for them. The delegates
from one of the City Wards had beer
boldly captured by one faction. Tht

Cheap Gas.

CHICAGO, February 3i.-In an interview
with one of the officers of the West Side Gas
Company he said an inventor had patented
an improved method of producing gas, by
which the p.ice could be reduced to point
making it cheaper than kerosene for lighting
and cheaper than coal for heating. The
method hal been in practical operation pri.
vste|y uuder the auspices of the conpsny for
year, and the company was about ready to
tear out its coking benches and substitute the
new process. With this improvement the
company claims to have no fear OF the cleo
trio light The method is to resolve water in
TO its component parts Of oxygen and hydro.
gen and mingle it with small proportion of
petroleum. It is claimed the gas produced is
much cleaner and more brilliant than under
the present process.
