day. The results have not yet been an

tom to leave two sets of ballots, having on
them the names of the Presidential elect
Ors, at each dwelling in the city on the
Friday preceding the election, but this
time this fOrmality was omitted, and it is
believed that the ballots were sent in bulk
TO the polling places to save voters

THE SARATOGA CONVENTION.

Cleveland Probably the FavOrite with
TwO-thirds of the Delegates.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-Everybody in
Congress is looking forward to the Sara
toga Convention with very much the same
interest as is manifested in regard to a
national convention. 1t is felt that its
action will probably decide the result at
Chicago. The action of the Saratoga
Convention, Gen. SlOcum and others who
came over from New York to-day are in
clined to believe, will be harmonious.
Tammany's meeting of Saturday night is
understood to have been held only for
the purpose of getting larger
representation. This will be accord
ed and Tammany will subside.
The best opinion is that Cleveland will be
indorsed by twO-thirds of the convention.
but Gen. Slocum, who is formal candi-
date for the Presidency, says that the unit
rule will not be adopted and the delega-
tion will be divided between Cleveland,
Bayard, Flower and Slocum. Slocum is
the only man who attaches any Importance
to this movement on the Presidency.
Flower and he are understood to be
working up booms in order to throw
the Presidential nomination West, and so
secure the Vice-Presidential nomination
each for himself. MeGHwh;%A.s Blaine il.
said to be counting on the OBJECTIONS
from the Republican party to Butler,
which are to occur in New York, for the
defeat of the Democratic nominee there.
Almost all the New York Democrats in
Congress are for Cleveland. Tammany
they understand to be favorable to him,
or to whOmsoever else may benominated.
All that Tammany wants, as they under
stand it, is to have larger representation
in the State Convention.

House of Representatives relating to the
bill in whose engrossment or enrolment
an error had been made, Mr.. Ingalls, said
that he could not permit the occasion to
pass without calling attention to the fact
that at least eight or ten times this session
Congress had been called upon TO repass
or amend by concurrent resolution bills
that had been imperfectly enrolled or en-
crossed, either in the House or Senate.
He expressed belief that it was a very
dangerous method Of legislation, and
there was evidently somewhere a serious

One of the commissioners of the
New Orleans exposition, Alex Nc
Kinzie, was here a few days since
and appointed the editor of this
paper as a local agent, in regard to
exhibits to be sent. There are
several reasons why we should be
interested in that exposition.
Such mingling of the people Of the
north and south, tends to overcome
prejudice and to bring about q
kindly feeling. Then we have a
selfish motive. Dakota has in her
vegetables, corn and other cereals,
4 wealth Of production, that would
advertise very fully the fertility of
her soil. To present with these
exhibits, the price of the land on
which they grew, would bring TO
our territory many useful settlers.

OUR

With about a dozen others, we
had the pleasure Of attending the
opening exercises, of the high school
on Monday morning. There were
over thirty pupils present, of gent
elmanly, and ladylike appearance.
America was sung, the 23u Psalm
read in sentences, and repeated by
the pupils, then all united in the
Lords Prayer. After these short
opening exercises, the Principal in a
practical and interesting manner,
outlined the work to be done, and
the manner of doing it. He illus.
trated very clearly the need Of dis
cipline and of self control. He told
the pupils the school was theirs not
his; they were working for the
school, not for him; but he was at
work for them. He wished to
place the school in their hands, as
it was theirs, and he believed they
would work well for their own in
terests. We came away feeling the
impression was favorable with the
pupils and visitors. In the other
rooms the teachers are well and
favorably known and have CON-
menced the term under encour-
ageing cir umstances. We expect
a pleasant and successful year Of
school work. Therewere enrolled
in the four rooms ab ut one
hundred and seventy pupils.

seen reflected by the powerful light
used, yer grander than anything
we had ever witnessed. Some we

to be desired that Mr.. Phillips will
visit our place again at no very
distant day.

pated. The decorations in and
about the city were profuse and
tasty and far exceeded Gun expec-
tations. The weather was all that

might have been expected from a
great big hearted man like Judge

The A~lleghanians.

Speaking of this grand old music
al combination, the Advertiser; of
London, Ont, says:
1t is the same old j. NJ. Boulard
who used to appear in the City Hall
years ago, and we would like not to
assert that he does not 60 back to
the time of the Royal Exchange
Hall. He has an excellent company
of bell players and vocalists, and
the entertainment they give is novel,
refined and amusing. The solo,
duet and quartet singing of a high
order, and the concerted pieces on
the bells won double and triple en-
cores. Every one in the Grand
Opera House last evening was de-
lighted, and there should be a
crowded house this evening. The
price for the best seats III the house
is but 80 cts. and at this rate a high
class entertainment ought not to
turn people from the door. A gen.
Grafton of show-goers has sprung up
since the last visit Of the Alleghan-
ians to London, but this need not
give any one the idea that the per-
formers are antiquated. Barring
Boulard, they are all young, and if
we count spirit and vigor rather
than years, he is the youngest Of
the party.
