Two Kansas Conventions.

Topeka, Kas., Aug. 20.-The Democratic
state conYention met at 4 p. M, 219 dele
gates present. Hon. A. A. Scott, of Fort
Dodge, was made temporary chairman, and
Fl. Miles Moore, of Leavenworth, temporary
secretary. The temporary chairman taking
the seat, made speech endorsing the
national Democratic ticket and platform,
condemned the misrule of the Republican
ism, censured the prohibltionists and de-
manded resubmission of the amendment.
The business committees were then appointed
which were instructed to report at 10 a. m.
tomorrow, after which the convention adj
journed.
A convention of Republicans favorable to
the resubmission of the prohibitory amend
ment, also met here to-day, and the appar-
ent purpose of that body being to join with
the Democrats in making state ticket that
viii be acceptable to both Democrats and
Republicans. The resubmission plan most
freely suggested is division of the state
ticket about equally between the two ele-
ments, with G.. W. Click, present governor,
as candidate for governor. The two
branches are not unanimous on this propo-
sition, many Democrats insisting upon a
straight Democratic ticket throughout. The
resubmissionists met at the skating rink and
organized by the election of j. G. Wohler
chairman and Frank Herald secretary. The
attendance was only fair. The proceedings
SO far have not yet developed the exact pur-
pose of the meeting. After the appointment
of the usual committees the convention adj
journed until o'clock.

Connecticut Republicans.

New HAVEN, Conn, Aug. 20.-At the
Republican state convention Judge w. /.
Elmer, was elected temporary chairman, who
peer of any man in the world to-day for in
tegrity. He predicted the Republicans
would elect the candidates high and dry,
above all Democratic tidal waves.
John A. Tibbits, collector of New London,
was elected permanent president On as
Stunning the chair he said, the principles
upon which the Republican party
was founded were its principles
to-day. He arraigned the Democratic party
for its position during the war, and said its
borer Of America to the condition of pauper
labor. He eulogized James G.. Blaine as the
most illustrious man of his time. He said
that among the volunteer soldiers of the
Union none were Drawer than John A. Logan.
There was no brighter name on the roll of the
Union veterans than John A. Logan,
through whose veins flow the warm blood of
the Emerald Isle. He endorsed the Repub-
lican platform, and said with such platform
and such candidates the result would not be
in doubt.
A committee on resolutions was appointed.
The convention then voted to take an in
formal ballot for candidate for governor.
The names of General w. FL. Bulkely,
Phineas C. Lounsberry and Henry B. Har-
rison were presented. The informal ballot
resulted in no choice. On the second ballot
for governor Henry B. Harrison was NOM

DETROIT, Aug. 20.-The Michigan Green
hackers met this morning. After heated
discourse resolution in favor of fusion was
adopted. The platform adopted reaflirms the
national platform, commends Buffers letter
as worthy of endorsement at the polls, de-
plores the condition of the manufacturing,
mercantile, producing and laboring classes,
which is attributed to contraction of the vol
ume OF money and excessive taxation, favors
emigration of industrious foreigners, de-
mands Of the legislature the enactment of
the mechanics lien law, giving to a laborer a
first lien for wages due, or to
become due, denounces the system of con-
tract labor, asks an amendment to the
bureau of labor statistics, demands the pro-
lection of the lives and health Of employees in
the industrial institutions, objects to the con-
sgnment of the dead poor to the piekling
vat at Ann Arbor, believes the minority
stockholders should be represented in the
management, demands the enactment of q
just system of taxation, and heartily com
mends the administration of Governor
Begole. Begoie was then renominated by

The contest for the Northwestern pennant
Mas opened here yesterday between the
home team and that Of st. Paul. The
weather was quite unpropitious, and the at
tendance was not so large asi would have
been on clear, bright day. 1t was game
EASILY won by the home club, yet it was
most admirable game, with the exception of
the deplorable pitching by Calvin for the st.
Paul club. He was exceedingly cratic in
his delivery and was freely hit, although not
hit for more than single bases. The error
column only charges the visitors with two or-
rors and both were made by Carroll, the
short stop, although there were those who
thought Carroll should have been charged
with wild throw when lie undertook to
throw McCauley out at second on Caruthers'
hit. Hengle was not on his base, and Nc
Cauley got it, but Hengle fielded Caruthers
out at first. In this instance Caruthers
would have made first but for his laneness.
Calvin hit him a severe blow in the leg, and
twice he failed to get first through his inabil
ity to run. In fact, there was scarce y a man
in the Minneapolis team who was not in
jured by Galvin's wild pltehing. In the first
inning, Andrus, short stop, was laid up with
hit in the ankle, so that he was obliged to
retire. McElwain was called to right field
and Kinzie played short. The only error
made by the home club was made by
McElwsin in dropping O'Brien's right
field fly. Fosters umpiring was favorably
commented upon by Minneapolis spectators.
Although a member Of the st. Paul club he
showed no partiality in the eyes of the Min
neapolitans, yet his own club charges him
with an erroneous decision, putting Carroll
out at third base. The bag was loose and in
sliding in he kicked it four feet away and
made no attempt to follow it. Murray got
the ball and touched him. It was decided
after some ten minutes consideration that
the rules require the runner to follow
the bag as a printer should follow copy.
Reid had his batting clothes on. He
covered himself all over with glory by max
ing four clean hits. MeCauley came next
with three safe hits. Isaacson and Caruth-
ers were the only members who failed to get
u hit, yet Isaacson did some handsome field
ing and Caruthers pitched an effective game.
McCauley caught without an error. Rcid's
second base playing merited the applause
he received. For the visitors Hcngle
did perhaps the best fielding Tilley made a
brilliant running catch. Kinzie hit the ball
so everybody thought it was safe, but Tilley
was equal to the emergency. Cancels
catching was fine. He played without an
error, put eight men out and is credited with
two assists. Had the st. Paul club an eff
fectiye pitcher in the box, the struggle would
doubtless have been close and exciting.
Following is the score in detail:

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 20.-The Green back
State convention was called to order at noon
by w. H. Ronthoff, of Monroe county, IT'S
delegates being present. Peter johnson
was made temporary chairman, the commit
tees appointed and recess was taken until
o'clock.
The convention reassembled at 3 O'Clock.
The reports of the committees were received
The platform was adopted endorsing the
platform of the National back labor
convention at indianapolis, and pledging
earnest and enthusiastic support to their
nominees for president and vice-prcsident.
1t invites the various liberal political orga-
nizations of the state to unite with the party
in an effort to overthrow the Bourbon dy-
nasty in Missouri. The party presents the
name of Nicholas Ford, of Buchan county,
for governor, and declares its best interest of
the party to make no other nominations for
state officers, leaving the matter to the CEN
trail committee minority report pre-
scented, favoring the nominations of a full
state ticket, was tabled. At Z o'clock the
convention adjourned. The action of the
convention is understood to mean fusion
with the Republicans, leaving with the latter
the nomination of the remainder of the
state ticket.

The Grent Purnn,it.

CHARLES LATIMER, of Cleveland, Presi-
dent International society for preserving
weights and measures, says in the Tribune !:
s'While we acknowledge the wonderful ac-
curacy of many of the pyramid measures of
William Flinders Petrie, we are obliged to
note the bad animus of the man in desiring
to overthrow all previous theories and to
give the impression that the measures of
Piazzi Smyth are at fault. He coveres up
this last very adroitly by giving the measures
only on the payment, whereas in fact he
agrees precisely with the theoretical meas
ures we have given, namely, at the base at
its lowest socket, 9f39 s7125S plus inches.
Mr. Petrie went to Egypt with the deter
mined intention of making himself q great
measurer and the hero also to overthrow all
the theories of Pyramid students. In this
he has lamentably failed. He helps US by
his measures, because he has established
ours beyond controversy. He has made
some remarkable measures, but he has not
finished the matter by any means. In his
measurement for the base he did not do
what is absolutely necessary yet to be done
before this question is settled; that is, un-
cover al the sides of the pyramid clear out
from the structure so that we shall see it in
its original condition. His measures of
the base are made BY underground tunnels;
but he acknowledges the wonderful accuracy
with which the stones were chiselled, so
that they could not be proven in error even
by a Jewelers. straight edge, the cement not
more than one iftieth of an inch in thick
ness, and the stone polished within one
hundredth Of an inch, and even less. In
the whole length of the base there was prob
ably not more than one-hundred an inch
error in laying If out Ii was to be expect
ed that, with his motives, he would be trip
ped up On some point, and such has proved
to be the case.n
