The Oxford Bears had pleasant reunion
last evening 1t partook of the nature of a
family festival, where everybody feels free
to speak out of the fullness of his heaat, and
with warmth which, if it seems exuberant
to outsiders, is none the less genuine and
commendable. The presence of Hon. Han
nibal Hamlin was great qualification, and
his loyal and fervent address stirred the au-
thusiasm of the audience to high pitch.
Old Oxford has had large influence in the
affairs of the State and the nation, an influ-
ence quite out of proportion to the number
of its people, but not out of proportion to
their talent and virtues.

friends of Mr.. Blaine when they had reason,
as they believed, to suppose that they had
control of the issues Of the convention.
These are the specific duties that confront the
convention. But there is another and grayer one
which goes with all the others. 1t is the duty
which the majority owes to the minority, and the
minority TO the majority. The majority of the del
egates to Utica have distinct preference for Presi-
dent. In their judgment, the wisest thing the Ma
tional Convention can do is to nominate Mr. Blaine

bic to agree to disagree without any impeachment of
motive from any quarter. We look to see the ma
jority use their power with discret ion and the mi
nority, while insisting upon their rights insist upol
nothing more. After the Chicago convention, 'sthe
frat choice of all of us. the for whom We are
to stake off our coats is to be the nominee of that
convention. Any delegate to Utica who takes po-
son that does violence to this theory of first choice

AN APPEAL HOR
IMPROVED ClITLE CARS.

FNNHE United States law to protect animals during
IL transportation by rail provides that, whenthey
are carried in cars in which they can be fed, wat
cred. and have rest, its requirement that animals
shall be unloaded every 28 hours, and then have a
rest of hours, shall not apply to animals in such
cars. The law prevents starvation and too long con-
hnement in cars so FAR AS IT is OBEYED by the
Railroad Co.'s. and it's existence and enforcement
are of the first necessity while the common stock
cars are used but the reloading at the stopping
places is attended with much cruelty it being nat
uray hard to get the poor creatures back into cars
where they have already 50 suffered, without blows
orsworse.
To meet this want of an improved car the Ameri-
can humane Association offered prize of five
thousand dollars 60 00o for such car in 1880. to
stimulate the inventive ability of the country One
OF It's conditions was that the patents ON the APP
proved car should be given to the Association, that
the car might be offered to the railroad companies
BY 1t free from charges of royalty.
But the owners OF the best inventions decided not
to compete for the prize thinking that their cars
would prove more valuable to them than the five
thousand dollars. Accordingly the prize could not
be awarded. The offer, however, caused the con-
struction of cars WHICH MEET THE REQUIREMENTS
OF THE LAW and the trustees of the fund take this
way OF making known the fact to Officers, Directors
and Stockholders of Railroad Companies and to all
Humane People whose hearts have been touched by
the atrocities of this traffic.
Gold medals haze been given to the persons and
companies named below. The names are given in
the order that the several cars were examined
