JUST THE THING.
Fills the Bill to Dot, and When
Things Get Hot Politically Every
body will Want 1t.

The special edition Of the B. & Q.
red book, devoted to the history of
the republican party and its antece-
dents, Is an almost Indispensable
publication to those at all interested
in the development of the campaign
of the year. Great care is manifested
in the complication of data, and while
everything is stated in the most con-
else manner, the information is so
clear and explicit as to be readily
comprehended. The chapter devoted
to the origin of the party and its ma
tional outcome from the dismember-
ment of prior parties is of exceeding
interest, as is also the points showing
party policy as expressed through
Con gressional action. The con-
densed proceedings Of the National
conventions of the various parties,
from the earliest period of the
country's history to the present, is Of
no ordinary value, and it is thing
never before attempted in such form
of publication. Indeed, it would be
difficult to tell of all the important
information gathered together and
shown so intelligently in the little
book.
Those who desire so invaluable a
a textbook for handy reference, as
matters grow interesting, will not
delay long in enclosing a two-cent
stamp with their address to G. X.
Lord, Baltimore, this beng the only
requisite to secure copy. In addi-
ton to the data having bearing upon
the one party, there Is vast amount
of information given as regards both
parties, and with the red book at
hand no one need be at loss for an
authority to settle almost any ques-
tons as to political history which
may come. In common with all the
B. & 0. publications, it is model OF
perfect Typography, the makeup and
type used generally being very far
above the average of political text
books,

Butler has taken stand under ar
rangement. He has 80 minutes. He
said he came here representing
155, 200 men, and demanded that their
rights and wants should be considered
in the question of taxation. He asked
convention TO read tariff plank and
see if they could tell what it meant.
He contended that the result of the
election depended upon this plank:
that 1t is the same now as when it
broke the back of the brave soldier
four years ago. He appealed to con
ventiou to amend tariff so as to not
only protect but foster interests of
worllingmen and women of this coun-
try.
Converse, of Ohio. endorsed part of
Buffers platform. Said all members
OF sub committee We're agreed on ma
jority platform except one. 1t is I'M
derstood that the exception is Waiter
son, of Kentucky. who will next take
floor. Continuing, Converse said the
great thing is determination in plat
form to reform all the evils of present
government, which covered labor and
all questions.
Watterson, taking platform, said if
Butler was not to help them if major
ity report was adopted, would have to
depend on God, to whom he relocated
them. Revenue plank was formed af-
erlong and full discussion, and it was
one on which all could stand.
Butler moved to substitute part of
his report relating to tariff for that
relating to same in majority report.
Call of States asked for and ordered.
Substitute lost.
Majority report was then adopted
almost unanimously.
Motion to proceed to ballot for cam
didate for president carried.

Eastern TieWs Of the C00f Irusie.

Aem lUrk,. - Biiuminous trade
drags along in much the same chan
mel so often referred TO. There is
little doing at any price, and when
ever one hears Of quotation it
is low one. The business can only
be said to show any improve
ment from the fact that while trans
actions. are but few, there is less of
that indiscriminate rush to sell at
any price. What the outcome will
be to this trade is an enigma it sure
ly does not pay any one to ship coal
at the prices which have been record
ed this year. A pool of this interest
for the tide-water trade would have
to cover so many varieties, from so
many districts, that it is hard to
reconcile them satisfactorily. Nor
folk and Western, Chesapeake and
Ohio, Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Reading and Lehigh Valley
each carry soft coal to tide, or will
do so shortly. Is it not peculiar
feature, too, that while the anthracite
companies as a whole act together to
keep up the price Of anthracite, that
the Pennsylvania with Its various
soft Goals, the Reading carrying
Clearfeld) and the Lehigh Valley
carrying Snowshoe) should bring in
soft coal that is sold at lower rates
than anthracite to compete with it ?
1t is interesting to note that the roads
leading to Buffalo have tired of their
low rates and have advanced. At
Chicago the price of all soft Goals
continues low. From Pittsburgh
there is the usual cry, al this season,
of a dull rade.-Coal Trade J0Nrual.
There is little new business, prices

are low, vessels abundant, and freights
very favorable.
Boston-There is very little doing
IN bltuminous coal save on contracts.
The Vanderbilt Clearfeld, from
Moshannon Greek, is now in the
market; but of course it is too late
for any business of Importance this
year. We understand that low prices
are given, to introduce the coal. Car

The DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS

The DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.
AT 12:4o yesterday afternoon
Chicago time) Hon. Grover Cleve-
land was nominated for President of
the United States by the national
convention of the democratic party.
Mr.. Cleveland's qualifications for this
high position are guaged by his re-
cord as governor of New York, and
it is presumed by his friends that, if
elected, he will make an exception
ally ardent reform executive. He has
it in his favor, more at least than any
competitor could have claimed, that
the position sought the man.
The nominee for Vice President is
the eminent colleague of Mr.. Tilden
in 1876. He is an able man, ripe in
years and enjoys good record.
