Texas Republican Convention.

HoUsToN. September 3.-The Republican
State Convention reassembled this morn
ing. Resolutions favoring endorsing the
Greenbackers and Independents, and en-
dorsing George Washington Jones, the In
dependent candidate for Governor, were
tabled by vote of 104 ayes, to 279 noes
The committee on resolutions then re-
ported the majority report, which declares
it inexpedient and impracticable at this
day to place a State ticket in the field ;
recommends the Republicans to aid all
Independent candidates favorable to the
defeat of the Democracy.
The minority report declares in favor of
a straight Republican State ticket, also
Blaine and Logan electoral ticket.
A motion to substitute the minority for
the majority report excited an angry de-
bate, and without coming to vote the
convention adjourned until o'clock.

Philadelphia Labor World: The with
drawal of Cleveland from the Dem ocratic
ticket is the only possible hope of saving
that party from utter annihilatiOn.
Catholic Uairerse The imperative con-
ditions must be understood and consul
mated Cleveland's withdrawal from the
ticket or vindication before the country.
New York San: There is even yet one
way to redeem the error that has been COM
mitted, and to put the Democracy in the
way of lasting victory. Let Grover Cleve-
land withdraw, and let Allen G.. Thurman
be nominated in his place.
Dubuque Telegraph (Dem.): If Grover
Cleveland will only give an unprecedented
exhibition of fealty to party and patriotic
devotion to country by withdrawing from
the ticket, and if the National Committee
will heed the popular voice and nominate
Judge Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio, to sue
ceed him, the country will be spared the
inf1iction of four years of Blaine, and the
next President of the United States will
be as pure-minded and able statesman as
ever filled that exalted Office.
ST. Mdrys Institute Journal Roman Cath
olic): No man with Cleveland's bad
record in private life can hope for election
at the hands of the people The religious
and moral elements in our life are too
powerful to admit of such result. The
chief reason that Aaron Burr's memory is
held in execration is the record of his lech-
erous life. The people cannot be brought
to favor any candidate for public honOrs
whose licentious habits preclude the posi-
bility of his representing the best estate of
American manhood in the Presidential
chair The American people will not take
kindly to another Burr.
The CongregatiOndlia : Common decency
the morals of the young, regard for the
sacredness of home life, and the very main
tenance of our National existence require
that the President of these United States
our foremost representative official before
the world-should be man Ofpure private
morals as well as of public integrity. If
these charges are untrue it ought to be
easy to show the fact They are definitely
and personally indorsed. If they be not
disproved, then the indignant public senti-
ment of the Nation should be given voice
and the party which nominated Governor
Cleveland should demand that he with
draw from the ticket which his name now
leads

THAT CHATTERER.

From early light to late at night,
chatter, chatter, chatter,
If things are sad or things are bad,
Dear mel what does it matter?
The livelong day to me is gay,
And keep always laughing
The world at best is but jest,
"Tis only fit for chatting.
Along the brim of life to skim,
Not in its depths be sinking,
With Jest and smile time to beguile,
Not bore ones self with thinking.
To touch and go, and to and fro
To gossip, talk and tattle,
10 hear the news, and to amuse
Ones world with endless prattle.
This is my life; hate all strife.
With none am | snarler.
like to joke with pleasant folk
In any pleasant parlor,
And when the day has slipped away.
Ere blow out my candle,
SIT awhile, and muse and smile.
ger that last bit of scandal.

New York Central Earnings.

NEW YORK, September 5.-The Posts
financial article says: The weakness of
New York Central is due to selling
from London, where it was announced yes
terday evening that the company declared
dividend of II for the quarter to June
30th instead of the usual 2 per cent. The
official announcement to that effect was
not made here until to-day, but in view of
the facts that the company did not earn
even one per cent net over interest, rentals
and taxes for the last quarter to June 30th,
and that the total net earnings for the
year to September in excess can scarcely
exceed four per cent, reduction in divi-
dends of even less than six per cent. would
cause no surprise.
Inquiry at the Grand Central depot as
to the dividend alleged to have been de-
layed by the Directors of the New York
Central yesterday, drew from high Off
cal the following: Il have no knowledge
of any dividend having been detarded by
our company for the quarter ending Octo-
ber as reported in Wall street"

A STRANGE SINGER.
FrCARL SPENCER.

joys the shyest bird
Mortal ever heard;
Listen rapt and silent when he sings
Do not seek to see,
Lest the vision be
But a flutter of departing wings.
Straight down out of heaven
Drops the fiery leaven
Beating, burning, rising in his breast;
Never, never long
Canst thou hear the song,
All too high for labor or for rest.
Hope can sit and sing
With "A folded wing,
Long contented in "A narrow cage;
Patience on the nest
Hour by hour will rest,
Brooding tender things in hermitage.
Singers true and sweet,
Mockers bright and fleet,
Close about thy door they fit and call:
One who will not stay
Draws thy heart away:
Listen! hsten 1t is more than all!

Helena weekly herald. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1867-1900, 1884-09-11

THE good old days are gone when the
southern blacks and the northern Irish
served their Democratic masters with
equal facility and profit. With evident
alarm the Democratic leaders are witness
ing the signs of independent action among
their Irish allies. Men who have left home
because British free trade has destroyed
manufactures in Ireland will not long or
knowingly submit to the same policy in
this country. Free trade may suit Eng
land. but it has been death to Ireland, and
SO it would be in this country.
