BosroN, Sept. S,--The Republican
state convention was called to order
this morning,by Chairman Lodge. Rob
ert Nj. Morse yir., was chosen President,
who addressed the convention, He
noted the absence of some OF his former
associates, men of high character, who
thought II necessary To part company
with old comrades for while. He re-.
viewed the course of the Democrats in
Congress. In regard to the National
election laws, he declared il an impos-
sibility to have fair elections i'm
the South. He contrasted the
course of the Democrats in Congress-
with that OF Blaine: showed the progress
Of civilservice reform under the Repub-
licans. On the other hand he quoted
Carl Shurz In 1850. One thing was GER
tain, that the Democratic party, as is its
fashion, will reform the civil service.
that II will certainly do, but 1t will do il
according to the old Democratic princi-
pie. "To the victors belong the spoils,r
Morse then reviewed the attitude OF both
parties, and closed by lengthy defense
of the character of Blaine.
The Republican State convention as
sembled here to-day. After effectinQ n
permanent organization and appointing
committees, the convention took brief
recess. On reassenbling the report of
the committee on resolutions was pre-
sented and adopted without debate.
The platform favors tariff in which
reforms and corrections shall be made
with view to reduce the surplus and At
the same time correct the inequalities.
but not by horizontal reduction, which
is step toward disastrous expert
ment for free trade; favors con
tinued reform in the civil
service; opposes enforced political as
sessments. A foreign policy Is
demanded which shall protect citizens
everywhere. The restoration of navy rs
advised, and the further coinage of the
silver dollar deemed Indispensable.
On motion of Mr.. Hodge the nomina-
ton of Gov. George ID. Robinson for
Governor was carried by accamation.

renominated by acclamation as follows:
Lieutenant-Governor- Oliver Ames.

issued the following circular letter:
CoRsIcASA, Sept 2, lSsi.-To the Democracy
OF Texas;
The State Executive Committee of
your party, Mt "a meeting held in Hous-
ton, August 81, decided to urge a thor
ough local organization, which | am
glad to see is being effected in most
places.
II is believed, however, that local
campaign clubs can and win aid materi-
ally to create an interest and poll large
vote. therefore recommend and urge
upon all Democrats, especially young
men, OF each voting precint in the State
To meet at once and organize yourselves
into clubs, with central county club.
Each club and central club should adopt
such rules for its government as may be
proper and as in their opinion NAV be
necessary. The primo object, however,
should be to enroll all Democrats and Sc.
cure their attendance at the polls.
l request that all clubs, which have
beer, and which may be organized, will
furnish me with the names and address
OF each officer and member for record to
be used In the distribution of docu-
ments, etc, and report of all work done
and speeches made, for record and use
by this committee
II would certainly be matter OF no
little pride for us TO lead all other States
In the vote for our ticket, State and Ma
tional, and AZ the voice Of each precinct
in all the conventions Of the party is in
proportion TO Its vote polled, large
vote should be obtained.
Very Respectfully,

Yankees Learning to Cook.
Boston Globe.


"Well [ can't exactly say that we
keep what is known as an intelli-
gence office, although we do furnish
people with situations, said the agent
of a cooks association.
'After the manner of all these en-
ployment agencies" asked the report
err.
By no means. Twill tell you how
1t is. You see cooks are out of en-
ployment as often as any other class
of people. Yes, / might add Oftener.
They are a queer set, being very
cbangeable. I am one of them, and
know what am talking about About
seventy of us are banded together
into a benefit organization, of which
I am secretary and also agent. We
are a chartered association, and our
first object is to see that the members
are all at work
''Are you successful in this?"
Most decidedly so. You see [ adj
yertise to furnish male cooks who are
competent and reliable. A gentleman
comes to me and wishes to hire a man,
and if one of our members is out of
employment I secure the situation for
him. However, if there is no one in
the organization who is out of job I
put some outside cook in the vacant
position, telling the employer that I
know nothing about the man, and if
he does not suit [ will do better as
soon as possible"
''You do not look after your own
members exclusively them"

those belonging to the organization,
and then outsiders. We havefurnish-
ed good many cooks. both for hotels
and restaurants, in the winter time
mostly in the city, but during the
summer at the various seaside and
mountain resorts"
Are you all of one nationality"
THAT is just where we differ from
most cooks associations, as we are a
cosmopolitan body. There is the
French cooks club, and an organiza-
ton composed entirely of Germans.
But with us it makes no difference
what nationality man is. Why, a
few years ago you couldn't get a de-
cent situation as cook unless you were
Frenchman. People would say to
hotel clerk:
. What kind of a head cook have
you got?'
a Frenchman' would be the re-
ply, and that was all was needed
Whether or not he knew anything
about cooking made very little differ
ence, apparently. It is not so now
however. A Yankee can get as GOOD
place as Frenchmen."

well" said Conductor Jones to a
Globe representative, lone of the
funniest things that ever happened on
my train occurred one day at Bethle-
hem. An old man whom | had
noticed in 1.-THE drawing-room car IS a

off at that station. was standing at
an open window of the car just as the
train was starting off, when whom

rushing towards me from the outside.
He pointed frantically to a window
just back of me, exclaiming as well
as he could while trying to catch his
breath:
my valise-Ieft it-there- throw

Turning quickly / saw a large
black valise in the seat indicated,
and, selling it, rushed to the rear

quite a number of gentlemen. Toss
ing it to one of the men, as they block
ed the way so that [ couldn't get
through, / shouted
Throw it to the old man there"
Without a moments hesitation the
man did as directed. AS the valise
left his hand he made an Intellectual
effort to regain possession of it, then,
with a muttered exclamation which |
couldn't comprehend, leaped from
the train, seized the ill-fatted baggage
and was just in time to board one of
the rear cars. It was all done in an
instant, although it takes time to tell
the story. In a minute he made
his way forward and angrily asked:
What did you tell me throw this
valise off for2"
Because the old man wanted it."
.sWell, then, he's a thief. That
valise is mine"
Then" said I, laughing, fer the
whole situation seemed so perfectly
ridiculous, "Why under the sun did
you throw it off at all2 Didn't you
know your own property?"
