SENATOR CAMDEN and ex-senator Davis
both speak with the greatest confidence that
the electoral vots of West Virginia will be
given to Cleveland. This, of course, is the
logic of the views of the people of the state.
But Steve Elkins has singled out the state
for his prey as Dorsey did Indiana in 1850.
Nobody believed Garfield could carry Indiana,
but he did, though it involved the experdi-
ture of 500, 600 brought into the state, in
addition TO the tens of thousands spent in
campaigning by the local politicians. Sem
aior Camden says ''the Indiana Golden
Stream dodge won't work with us. The Re-
publicans would be obliged to 90 into bank
ruptcy before they could wheel our state into
their column 1t is to be hoped this is ex-
actly true, but it viii not do to take anything

The engagement of the NJ. B. Curtis COM
pany in the new play of ''Spot Cash, or
SAMUEL of Posen on the Road,n came to a
close at the Opera house last night, and the
performance was witnessed and evil
IDENTITY enjoyed by a large audience.
Whatever may be considered the merits or
drawbacks of the play from a purely critical
standpoint, the uniformly large audiences in
attendance since the opening night
have demonstrated that the enter

elements of popularity, which have
already assured for it certain success.
A noticeable improvement characterized last
nights performance, the action of the play
being much smoother and more enjoyable.

TIE THIRD DISTRICT.

If a multiplicity of nominations counts for
anything Mr.. Donnelly ought make for
midable competitor for Major Strait in the
Third district. He has received the Demo-
cratic, the Peoples and the farmers nomi-
nation, and if he receives the full Demo-
cratic vote of the district his election is as
sured.
1t is to be regretted. however, that the
proverbial instinct of Minnesota Democrat
to kick over the traces whenever there is n
reasonable prospect OF success, is apparent.
A minority party can never become major
ity party unless it wins support from its OPP
ponents.
The report of the Democratic convention
at Glencoe yesterday indicates that consid-
cradle number of the Democratic delegates
are especially alarmed lest persons who have
hitherto acted with the Republicans, should
vote the Democratic ticket this fall. Mr..
Washburn was elected by Democratic votes
in 1878 in this district and if Major Strait is
elected in November, it will be by Demo-
cratic votes So long as the Democrats en-
Joy such victories they are reasonably sure Of
being able able to secure them.
In the way off dim-ge7y dina-future it
may dawn upon an especial element of the
Minnesota Democracy, that it would be well
upon each others. necks, not to weep, but
that they may be better able to claw each
other bald headed.

TRENTON, N. j., Aug. 20.-The Demo-

tense heat nearly 600 delegates
gathered in the Opera house at noon. Every
body appeared hopeful and confident and
applause was frequent Gen. Mcclellan was
chosen chairman and made speech that was
repeatedly cheered.
''Time has brought its revenge he said.
''The despised bands of the Democracy
lave become mighty army marching under
glorious banners, behind great lead
ers to an assured victory. We
shall gain from our opponents,
ranks much more than by any possibility
we can lose by any detection from our own.
The Democratic party is now as it ever has
been, the truest exponent OF a government

Democratic success, not because 1 am n
Democrat, but because | think the true in
terests of the country are bound up in
the success of the Democratic
principles. Now, as ever, we
oppose Capitalization of power. We believe
that the expenses of the government should
be brought down to the lowest point consis-
tent with good government, and that the
revenue should be no greater then neces-
sary to meet these expenses. Success is
within our grasp We must seize it,
We have no defensive campaign to make.
It is our ANTAGONISTS who are on tbe dpfen-
sive at every point, and must resort to dis
reputable calumny to offset our attack on
public record and official character. Let US
confne ourselves to the public matters.''
The electors were chosen without any
fight. After they had been chosen and the
resolution adopted Gov. Abbott made a

logs cut in excess of sixty per cent OF the
capacity OF the mills.
lengthy discussion on the motion FOL
lowed, during which Secretary Hotchkiss
was called upon to present statistics re-
garding supply. He declared the
information he based them upon
was very meagre and for that
reason they we're SO incomplete as to be
valueess. They were read and then re-
ported as incorrect. The cause of the in
completeness was the failure of the members
OF the association to respond to requests for
estimates of the quantities of stock in local
depots.
Major Camp of Minneapolis, was of the
opinion that the amount of lumber to be
consumed next fall was much less than the
quantity consumed during the same time
In the two years previous. In the past two
months the consumption was less than for
the same period in 1882 and 1888 Railroad
companies were not building so many depots
and other structures as before, and not so
many small towns were springing up along
their lines
exchanges meet and agree to a discontinue
ance Of cutting because Of the overstocking.
Lumbermen were at present better able to
take such action than at any time since 1858.
BY overproducing the manufacturers were
injuring their financial credit. Reduce the
log cut so per cent, or even so low as 40
per cent, and not only would forests become
more valued but the impaired credit of lum-
bermen would be augmented. The motion
was finally modified so as to require
of the association merely an express
sion of opinion on. the question
whether there was sufficient stock at present
to last to Nov. l, 1885, or not. 1t was an
swered in the negative by three fourths OF
the members. The question of stoppage was
then brought up again, when the following
resolution was adopted:
In the Judgment Of this convention, in
view of the amount of logs and lumber now
on hand, we recommend to the manufac-
turers of lumber that they do not get out
over 90 per cent. Of the amount of logs cut
In 1883, the coming winter, and that they
stop their mills the coming fall as early as
possible, and not later than Nov. l next.
This was merely tn the form of a recon-
mendation, and Mr.. Hart, who objected to
shutting down before Nov. /, introduced the
following resolution, after adopting which
the convention adiourned:
From the facts and statistics gathered and
learned at this meeting, and in view of the
assured large crop of the northwest, the
probable demand for lumber, and the
further consideration of the large
number of men employed at the several
mills who would be thrown out of work it is
not deemed wise or expedient to close down
the mills before November l next leaving it
optional with any to close earlier if deemed
necessary or best.

TIE IERETCHED IRE4SURI

THE WRETCHED TREASURY SYSTEM
Gen. Longstreet has been turned out of
office add his successor has been turned in.
The General wants to settle up and get re-
ceipt in full. He says he has for many
months been endeavoring to bring about d
a settlement of his accounts, but has been
unable to accomplish it. He claims that
there is a considerable sum due him from
the government, and he wants it, he also
wants close the case so that his bondsmen
may be discharged. The only reason why
the eX-marshal is not gratified is the negli-
gent way that the business of the treasury
department is done. The system or want of
system in keeping the accounts is SO
wretched, the employees are SO indolent
and inefficient that all the business of that de-
partment is way behind. 1t may be year or
even two years before Gen. Longstreet can
settle and get his final discharge. This is a
great injustice and great evil. There is no
reason at all for it, and it exists because
there is no proper management. The clerks
do not work one-fourth of the time. Half
the number employed, if required to work as
pcOpIe MOFh everywhere elsc, Woulu w al
that there is to be done, and keep the work
up even with the current day.
The systems of the department seem to
have been invented and continued to pro-
mote inefficiency and invite rascality. The
case of Burnside, a recent defaulter, is an
instance in point. His accounts had not
been settled in years. Nobody knew any
thing about them. He took advantage of
the laxity and absence of business system
and turned thief. When the exposure finally
came the first controllers office
had spasm, and half dozen clerks were
put at work to get up his accounts. If Burn
sides accounts had been settled as they
should have been, monthly or quarterly,
he would have remained an honest man and
the government lost nothing Where such
things exist honesty can not prevail. Re-
form is needed Change is needed. Revo-
luton is needed. Turn the RascaIs out.
