IMPORTANT FIGHT

in the convention arose. Ed. Russell, Of
the Western Kansas Association said that
Kansas had had experience of the trail
and was sick OF it through the injury done
"a home cattle by the Texas cattle driven
through the country and leaving disease
behind them. II the trail didn't run
through Kansas, Kansas didn't care if
the resolution passed, but the trail would
not run through Kansas next year. The
speaker instanced cases of Kansas stock
men ruined by Texas fever left among
their herds by Texas drives, and said he
spoke for Kansas when he asserted that
the State would oppose the trail, if neces-
ssry, before Congress. He got the ear of
the convention In the beginning and kept
ii through his speech, loudly applauded
10y the kansans.
Ex-Governor Norman j, Coleman, OF
Missouri, editor of the Ruai World, fol-
lowed in support Of the trail. Every cow
man wanted trail, and the question
was simply where the trail should be and
how and when 1t should be used, Con-
gress could define that.
Granville Stuart, OF Montana, was
spelling for a fight with Texas. He want
ed 1t understood that Montana was as
much a breeding ground as Texas, and
was unwilling to give Texas Government
aid to relieve its oyerstocked ranges and
oyercrowd those Of the North, and Mon
tana especially which had too many
Texas cattle already,
General n. n, Curtis, OF New York,
spoke for the consumers of beef raised by
the Western stockmen. They wanted
cheap meat, aud as the trail was the best
means by which they could secure that,
he hoped the resolution would pass.
The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1884-11-21
TEXAS FEVER.

NJ. S. Culver, cattle inspector at Dodge
City, spoke of an experience in inspecting
Al 1000 cattle which had Texas fever
among them but had not got it from the
trail. Texas had right to drive through
the country; Kansas should be protected,
and he wanted fence trail,
w. ii. Grain, of the Southwest Texas
Cattle Exchange, paid his respects sar-
castically 10 Montana.
The resolution was voted on and car
ried, only few dissenting voices being
heard, these among the KanSans. To
cmch the victory, Judge Carroll moved
10 reconsider the vote and then to lay that
motion on the table. This was carried,
aud the subject of the trail will not come
up again
Chairman Routt here resigned the Chair
to General Curtis, who retained il during
the rest of the morning session. The res
olution recommending the suppression Of
cattle diseases by Federal appropriations
was brought up and after some discussion
and futile attempt to insert Texas fever
among these diseases, passed.

PLEA TOR THE INDIANS,

The resolution Of Ma or w. II. Level.
Ign, the New Mexican Apache Agent, dis.
approving of the holding Of large rescrva-
tons by the Indian tribes, came up, and
General Z. Porter, rs the representative
of the Creek Indians, took the platform.
He, as an Indian himself, spoke In behalf
of all the American Indians, who proceed.
ed the whites upon this continent and
had u right to recognition. The United
States had always held It's front posi-
ton in dealing with the aborlgines, that
they held the possessory right to the
soil, and the Convention must recognize
that. The Indians were farming, were
becoming good citizens and making
money raising cattle. The Government
could manage the Indians without any
help from the Cattle Convention. AZ least
he desired the preamble of the resolution
which did injustice to the American In.
dian stricken out. General Porter spoke
with much feeling and gained the sym.
prthy OF the Convention, the result being
that rs he closed, motion to strike out
the preamble was made.
DR.. r. NJ. Moore, of Colorado, compll-
mentcd the Indian Territory Indians, but
wanted the preamble retained, as II ex-
pressly excepted from Its structures the
Indians OF the Nation.
General Brisbin, of Idaho spoke as
from the army, which had for one of It's
duties the keeping of the Indians in order,
and wished the preamble stricken out az
q gratuitous insult to the Indian, who
would leave the cattle men alono II the
StOckmcn let them aloue, In the name
Of Christianity and humanity he protest.

Why Cleveland IL Weak.

SARATOGA June 49, The opposition
to Mr.. Cleveland is based on many
grounds. 1t is simply ridiculous to as
sert that it is the outcome of dissap.
pointed office seekers. but it is indspu-
table that nearly all the State officials
appointed by the Governor were here
working for his nomination. They came
from all the departments at Albany
and from the Governors own office
Many Democrats like congressman
Beach and Belmont, Judge Hilton and
Others think it would be unwise for the
party to nominate a man like Cl.vt-
land, who is prominently identified
with faction of his own party to such
an extent as to be willing to vote re.
form bills to benefit that faction. Other
Democrats urge that Cleveland is un-
known and untried, and that so Tar he
has not shown any fitness for such a
high office
Further opposition is due to his arbi.
trary use Of the veto power. He has
just vetoed number of local bills
affecting Saratoga village which were
asked for by Democrats and Rebuilt,
cans alike, and which were greatly
needed. He offers no excuse for sucl
arbitrary use of power. In Troy and
other places there is a similar feeling o.
opposition because Of vetoed nou
partisan local measures. While doing
this injustice he has done further
public wrong by approving measures il
the interest OF such men as "Tin
Campbell and Hubert o. Thompson
The elements that urge his nomination
here were enough to condemn him II
the eyes of independent men. Hi
name ELECTED no enthusiasm, not f"rl
as much as John Kelly's, and one hal
the convention was outspoken a2alur
him.
