porter for the Recorder corralled Col.
Parker, of the Hills. at the Stebbins
house. After the usual courtesies We
asked as to the feeling at the Hills, With
reference to who would be the nominee
at the coming convention. He said:
"Well, our people will support McMas-
ters in the convention if he remains q
candidate. McMasters has strong fol-
lowing III the Hills, which is formidable
one. just what strength he will have in
southeastern Dakota am unable to state
The development of the Hills country in q

Masters, and it is but natural that our
people should work for his nomination.
not that they are opposed to Mr.. Ray.
mond, but from the fact that local pride,
and other considerations have their
weight"
"Who will the Hills support in case
that McMasters declines to 20 before
the convention?
swell, in case that McMasters ia not
a candidate, believe that when say
Raymond I but voice the sentiment of
my people. He has made
good delegate. OF course,
he lives north of the 46th par.
abel, but is as much in favor of o divi-
sion of the territory as any man can be,
and believe be can and will accomplish
more good for Dakota north and south
than any man we can nominate. Our
people want the territory divided, and
then we can force our rights on con.
gress."
Where would the Hills people favo
coating the capital when the territory,
is divided?"
"We cannot get it; that being true.
we want it located at Pierre, and will do
all we can ia accomplish its location" /"

Why Logan's Dog Died.

thusiastic sportsman and very fond of
dogs-told good dog story to the
writer many moons ago which is as fol.

1t seems the general owned q par

was never tired of discoursing. One

was the sole occupant, he having been
readily taught to repair twice day to

food, hole cut in back door affording
him means of egress and ingress. One
day, on returning from his dinner, Nero
heard noise in the dining.room, and,
on inspecting the cause, discovered q
burglar, who dashed into closet and
pulled the door shut after HIM before
the huge beast could pin him. The dog
laid down in front of the door, and wait

his breed tor his his victim to reappear.
A day went by-three, and still the
stubborn dog, weak and haggard with
hunger, kept bis post with a purpose
only death could subdue. On the fifth
day the family returned, and lifting
the emaciated brute from his station,
opened the closet. It was then revealed
that the house. breaker, provided with
kit Of tools, had sawed small section
out of the frame wall of the house and
escaped. When the dog beheld the
aperture, and the cold facts of the case
dawned upon his canine brain, his little
remaining strength forsook him, and ly

master, he gave his tail an apolageti,
quiver and-died. His obvious resem

Senator Bayard's Candidacy.

New YORK TINES.
From Trustworthy source it is ascertained
that some prominent New York Democrats
have been endeavoring to get Senator Bayard
to go to New York and have consultation
with leading business men who are Demo-
Gratis, with the object of bringing him for
ward as the candidate of New York i'll the
Chicago convention. Mr.. Bayard has evinced
an uureadiness to meet these gentlemen, not
from any unwillingness to become candi-
date, but from an aversion to appear
az il he were anxious to press his
own claims for recognition by his
party. 1t is understood that consultation
will be held on Saturday night in New York.
when the propriety OF urging MIR. Bayard as
candidate will be considered. The Demo-
Gratis in New York who favor Mr. Bayard do
not regard the fact that he comes from a
small State as one that would stand in this
way. They believe that should New York
present him as man who would insure the
confidence Of the business community there
would be no reflection upon Delaware's size.
The plan OF tho Democrats who favor
Bayard'a nomination for President il to nomi-
nate Morrison for Vice President and thus
secure an eastern and western representation.

terday, Gen. William P. Innes, ex-Con-

and C.S. Hampton were chosen delegates
At-large to the national convention.
Among the aiisrnates WAS one woman,
Matte Strickland. A full quota OF dis
triot delegate and alternates from the
IL congressional districts WAS also chosen.
Two oolored delegates from the Third
district were among those chosen as
alternatss. AL the delegates are
instructed for General Butler for Presi-
dent.
The platform claims that without the
Greenbaok party the greenbaoks would
have been destroyed, government bonds
made perpetual, silver again demonetized,
the legal tender act repealed, national
bank notes made the only paper currency
and gold the only debt paying money
and all debtors would have been ruined.
The platform favors the making OF
treasury notes receivable for customs, the
forfeiture Of unsArned railroad land
grants, the congressional regulation OF
commerce between the states and the re-
tiremsnt Of national bank money; de.
olares that the tariff is injurious to the
farmer and laborsr and demands the i'm
mediate beginning Of Its reform. The
platform also calls for the submission OF .

THE POOR TRUSTEES.
Yesterday Afternoon Weeks Session
of the Annual Meeting.

After the r. CESS for dinner yesterday
week, Brooks Foster was allowed to
make contradiction of a statement that
foundling which he had adopted had
died from bad treatment. The child,
bright, pretty little boy is months old,
who had been picked Up on the commons
was introduced to ths trustees to sub
stantiats the statement of his foster
parent thst he WAS still slive and we'll
treatrd.
The building committee reported in
favor of employing Architect Buttons to
superiptend the consti uction Of the steam
heating apparatus at SO so, and empower
ing him to engage a night watohman.
The report recommended that Gswthrop
& Bro. and John c. Brison be empowered
to make joint plan for the plumbing of
the new buildings at q coat OF $3.50. The
contractors for erecting steam heating
apparatus were reported to be progressing
satisfactorily with the work. A resOlu
tion was passed empowering the building
committee to advertise for proposals for
doing the plumbing work. ...
Mr.. Williams incidentally referred to the
large amount Of money expended for drugs
and suggested IS an economic measure
that they be purchased from wholesale
dealers in the future.
Mr.. Springer endorsed the proposition,
and going still further held that as
representatives of the country the aims.
house supplies should be procured where
they can be purchased the cheapest,
irrespective of the political proclivities Of
the dealers. He held that notwithstand-
ing the precedent, Republicans should be
invited to bid for furnishing supplies,
and that their bids ought to be fully
considered. The furnishing of supplies
is business transaction, into which
politics should not be allowed to enter.
These sentiments were endorsed ly
Messrs. Farra, Williams and Bradford.
After considerable discussson the matter
was dropped. The reading OF the bills to
be passed, amounting TO over $4,000, wac
next called for, and proceeded with until
two bills for the same goods, both
audited by the committee were reached.
This brought forth great deal Of murky
debate, as to the method OF passing upon
bills to prevent recurrence Of similar
mistakes. Nothing WAS done in the mat
ter except the ventilation OF different
views of members, and at 8 O'Clock the
meeting adjourned.
