Convention Notes.

Following is summary of the proceedings
of conventions held Wednesday, April 30
not heretofore reported:
Iowa-The sentiment of the Republican
convention was unmstakably for Blaine,
but an attempt of his friends to have a
resolution passed directing the delegates to
use all honorable means to secure his nomi-
nation was defeated. The platform denounces
Democratic tariff reform, demands the con-
struction of navy in keeping with the i'm
portance of the countrys position among the
nations, declares in favor of the prompt pay
ment to soldiers and sailors of the United
States of all bounties back pay and pensions
due them, compliments Arthur's administra-
ton, and declares James G. Blaine the choice
of Iowa Republicans for president.
The delegates -at-large are J. s. Clarkson,
N. M. Hubbard, John r. Stone, and W. G..
Donnan.
Wisconsin Republicans-The convention
completed its work by the e1r :: y II the
following delegates-at-Iarge: E. II. Broad
head, Milwaukee; E. w. Keyes, Dane; Jona-
than Bowman, Columbia; T. B. Scott,
Marathaon. The following are the electors
at-large: c. j. l.. Myer, Fond du-Lac; F. A.
Husher, La Crosse. So far as known the
delegates stand eleven for Blaine, five for
Edmunds, three for Arthur, and one for
Sherman. The platform simply endorses
Arthur's administration and demands that
the nominee at Chicago be a man who can
best secure harmony. A resolution instruct
ing the delegates to propose the name of
Gen. Fairchild for president was defeated.
Maine-The Republican state convention
selected j. r. Bodwell, Of Hallowell; George
c. Wing, of Auburn: JosephS. Wheelwright,
of Bangor, and Josiah H. Drummond, of
Portland. They are all Blaine men, and will
vote for any one he wishes nominated. Gov
ernor Robie was nominated for reelection.
The resolutions favor protective tariff, civil
service reform, and approve of Arthur's ad-
ministration.
Michigan Greenbackers selected as dele
gates-at large to the Indianapolis convention
w. P. James, M. W. Field, w. d. Fuller,
and G. s. Hampton. The delegation was in
structed to vote for Butler, and the resolu-
tions declare for tariff reform,
Nine of the Republican delegates from
Kansas to the Chicago convention express
their preference for Blaine, six for Arthur
and three for Logan.
West Virginia-The Republicans held their
convention at Martinsburg and selected
egates to vote for Blaine. The.platform takes
strong ground for protection.
Virginia "Straight-out" Republicans-The
convention was overwhelmingly in favor of
Blaine and Lincoln, but the delegates were
urinstructed. The platform denounces Ma
hone and censures President Arthur for sus-
tanning him. One resolution tenders Mrs.
Garfield heartfelt sympathy in her affliction

Fen Rl3IIions.

| James Is. Keene Sees the Last of His
Ten Nz3IIions.
New YORK, May 1.-On put for 1000
| Western Union, AMI small puts on Erie,
James R. keene failed to respond Wednes-
day, and with that failure announced to the
street that he had reached the bottom Of the
splendid fortune which few years ago was
the wonder and admiration of speculators
1t had for some time been suspected that
Keene was in straits, but pluck kept him up,
| and until lately he thought he would pull
through. Very little was held against him
by brokers, but he has privileges out which
have involved heavy losses. He paid out
Tuesday to holders of his stocks SITS, 900.
The failure Wednesday was for but S14 900.
Brokers for a year or more had not allowed
their customers to buy or sell stock against
Keenes privileges, and the loss to holders
will therefore be largely on paper rather than
actual, the real losses being cash paid for
privileges. 1t is supposed he still has large
number of privileges on the street, but puts
alone have caused him loss, as the market
has gone against the holders of his calls.
Mr.. Keene refused to see any reporters at
his office. and at his house in the evening it
was said that he had gone out of town, and
was probably in Newport Later in the
evening, however, the following statement
was issued for publication to the Associated
Press reporter:
"After paying out millions of dollars
in cash in the last few months in
my efforts to protect nv privileges in fall
ing market, have finally determined to call
a halt in the interest OF those with whom I
have business. JAMES r. KEENE."
Shortly after the announcement of his in
ability to meet his engagements Keene was
offered by number of friends and business
associates the use of S4O0,0O0 He refused to
accept it, saying that he did not propose to
make the matter any worse by keeping up
his margins any longer.
LATER.-The employees at James r.
Keene's office refuse to make any statement
concerning the failure. Keene himself was
not visible, and all inquiries made for him
met with the reply that he would be down
later. No estimate Of the assets and liabli-
ties can be arrived at until all trades are
closed out and the books adjusted. An army
ofreporters is on Keene's track, eager for in
formation that mono of them are likely to
get for some uays 10 co,.n,.
NEW YORK, May 3.-Mr. Keere's en-
barrassment continues 10 be the topic Of
conversation on Wall street. MIR. Keene is
quoted as expressing himself in regard to his
troubles as follows: II own it's unfortunate.
very unfortunate. I have paid out money
like river; but | am not dead yet, and
don't expect to be, except that l may be so
I have been in worse places
before to-day" The following notice was
posted in the afternoon: Holders of privileges
issued by me are requested forthwith to
present the same for registration and adjust
ment at my office, 30 Broad street.

Texas ReDubIicaus.

DALLAS, Tex, April 30.-The state Repub-
lican convention assembled at Fort Worth
Tuesday morning. w. G. Pasco, of Sher-
man, was made temporary chairman. Much
wire-working and quiet scheming was
done by both Arthur and anti-Arthur forces,
and as soon as the convention assembled the
first trial of strength was made in the fight
over temporary chairman. 1t finally re-
suited in the choice of Postmaster De-
gress, of Austin, by vote of 2G911 against
2OS1S for Webb Flanagan, who, four years
ago, at Chicago, asked the historic question:
"What are we here for but the offices. "
Flanagan is Blaine man, and of course
Arthur's friends claim his defeat as vic
tory for them, which the Blaine forces deny
After the usual preliminary business the
committee adjourned for the day.
