had at the expense OF the ladies and gentlemen
who sailed forth Tuesday last On that fox hunt
which the humane society so materially interfered
with. The fox which was let loose despite the 8.

that trace found OF It until yesterday AFTER
noon when the little fugitive itself was found hid
ing on the south porch OF the Executive Mansion,
near one OF the parlor windows II is suggested
now that SO far as this unusually sly fox was In
any danger OF being bounded to death by the anna
teur huntsmen, the society might have let the hunt

Before he could be killed, pet fox would have to be

company, 5000 Central Branch, Union
Pacific, $50, 600; Sioux City & Pacific COM
pany, $3.50, 600, or as much of such Sums as
will make Che total animal payment to the

earnings of the respective companies.

The New York Times, the leading re
publican newspaper of the United States
has bolted the nomination of Blaine. In
the course of leading article on the day
following the nomination, it says:
1--WE shall not be surprised if some re
publicans who do not like Mr. Blaine
resent with heat this allegation that a
man, who, as a speaker of the house of
representatives, bartered his official influ-
ence for private gain, who, as secretary OF
state, made the enforcement of a swindling
claim against distressed and perishing
sister republic the most conspicuous
feature of his foreign policy, man who
has had no part or interest in the work
done in the last five years toward the
publication of the public service, Is a fair
type and representative of the party that
saved the union, freed the slave andrestored
the national credit There will be nothing
ambiguous about the defeat of Blaine.
He who runs may clearly read the verdict
in advance: "A candidate unworthy of
confidence, and party too careless of its
nOnOT 10 DE longer Tusleu WlIh Ma"
tons"
One word as to the position of the
Times. 1t will not support Mr.. Blaine
for the presidency 1t will advise no mar
to vote for him, and its reasons for this
course are perfectly well understood by
everybody that has ever read it.
The interest the Times will take in this
canvass is that of a friend and physician
1t is not with cynical Indifference, but
with unspeakable sadness, that it sees the
republican party perversely set its face
toward error and its feet in vicious paths

the following resolution: E#
Resolved, This committee will postpone
until the first Monday of December, 1884, the
further consideration of matters arising
under the act of May o. 1878, relating to the
Union Pacific Railway company, etc, if the
said company shall Immediately carry out
the oifer of Mr.. Adams as stated in
his communication dated June, Is, 1884,
addressed to Hon. George F. Hoar, and on
the express understanding that this ac-
ton of the company and the United States,
IN receiving the money and security in said

effect on any penalty OF forfeiture on other
rights of the United States, incurred or
arising, or to occur or arise, against the said
company or any of its officers, but that all

The main points of the Adams propos ition
are that the railway company shall i'm
mediateiy pay to the United States treasury
$71S,000, the amount claimed by the govern
ment under the Thurman act for 1888, and
that all earnings for government transporta-

Inererore / said, / am glad that the
Question is no longer d part in political
consideration, and statesntansbip may now
turn from it as the country has lurned from
the questions of slavery and war; but aiasi
the power of the darkness OF error. The
resurrectionists of false Ideas of the dead past
dug up the molderng remains Of contention
from peaceful graves where they slept, and
threaten by aaehash OF exploded resolutions,
formulated into a platform by party con
yention, to ratify and asitate controversies
which will unsettle commercial values him
der and delay the business energies of our
people, with apparently but a single object
TO extend system of purely paper currency
issued by corporations, established by
the government. Indeed, but for pri-
vate emoiuinei.t ami gain to the coiporators,
which currency itself is to he valuable
only because it IS made redeemabl in the
very greenback which this ghoui1ke agita-
tions eeks to re, udiata overthrow and de- troy.
Such a currency, Andrew jackson, with he
prescience and wisdom of statesman, by tile
iron hand of the soldier, sustained by the
Democracy Of more thsn generation ago,
had wholly crushed out, and in hope of the
wise and good had burie forever, as one OF
the gTievous errors of an administration
which had insidously crept into government
for the aggrandizement of few to the
destruction Of people. As Democrat, taus bit
in the jackson school in my early youth !;
with my Judgment matured in many years

and deep study with an intensity of pur-
pose which topic of such magnitude af-
fectiug every interest of the people-nay, it
may be the very existence OF free insritu-
tons demands, am constrained, were it
the last act Of my life, in view of this at
tempt to undo what jackson had 50 well
DONE coming from whatever quarter 1t may,
to say TO you, gentlemen, there seems WIS
dom, indeed a necessity. for further eontin-
nance of your organization in this renewed
exigeucy, and therefore upon this eontesta-
ton l am with you. And If there were but
two of us we ought to stand together against
this great wrong and call upon all true men
to stand with us, either inside or outside as
the case may he, of other political organiza-
tons which may aim to perfect other meas
ures for tie coed of the country.
Gen Butler adds that he is in sympathy
with the principles or other subjects cnun-
ciated by the convention, and declares that
they have been the political rule of his life.
