A pretty good story is told of a certain
young eolored man in Cheyenne. 1t was
not very long ago that he vent east to St.
Louis. He had accumulated quite a sum
of money and had 81, 500 in bonds, a gold
watch, diamond pin and a good many
other fine things too numerous to men
ton. The d.rky was a pretty good hand
to play billiards, cards and other sinful
games, and he concluded hat he would
try the st. Louis colored boys "a little
whack" as he termed it. Thus inclined,
he went into a pretty well arranged col
ored saloon, and, walking up and down
before the bar for awhile, he cooked his
head to one side and exclaimed, IN juss
play any coon in this yer house a game of
billiards for a hundred dollars He was
at once accommodated and lost, and kept
on losing until 81 900 of his money was
gone. This sobered him up a little, but
the next day he came back and went at it
again, and ''staid wild de boys until he
lost not only all the money he had left,
but also his gold watch, diamond pin, cuff
buttons, and even a nobby little cane he
had with him. This satisfied him thor
oughly, and after sending for money to
come on, he finally got back to Cheyenne.
In explaining about the matter to his
friends, he said, Il didn't care muffin
bout losin' de money, nor dat watch or
chain, nor de pin, and l didn't whine yo'
juss heah my racket bout de cuff buttons,
nor de cane, nor my gals picture, but
when lem cusses just got round me a
singin' dat air song
''Dere's n new Coon In town."
it juss did make me mighty hot, for dat
airs what l calls juss addin insult to in
jury"

gusta a few minutes before 10 tonight.

the committee entered carriages and were

The crowd clamored for a speech and Mr..
Lynch, of Mississippi, went out upon the
rear platform and made a few remarks.
Ex-senator Rollins, of New Hampshire,
and Judge Foraker, of Ohio. we're each
called upon for a speech, and each re-
sponded in turn. AT the other stations
along the route there were large numbers
to greet the train, particularly in Port
land, but owing to the short stop there
was no time for further speech-making.
Among the invited guests accompanying
the committee were Mrs. Chauncey |. Fill
icy NV liz -. Il Mn, wives VI mBIl-
bers of the committee, and Mr.. and Mrs.
c. l.. Macarthur, of New York. William
Walter Phelps is not with the committee,
owing, it is said, to the fact that his pre-
sence in Congress at this time was es ent-
ial to the proper care of certain local b lis
under his guardianship. The committee
will make an official notification to B aine
tomorrow, Blaine has accepted the in
v~itation to be present at the commence
ment of Bates College at Lewiston on

dence to -night, but beyond exchanging
greetings nothing was done beside to ar
range that Blaine should formally receive
the committee at his residence tomorrow.

morrow afternoon, where, in the evening
they will be rendered a reception, at which
addresses will be made by Henderson,

morning aud appointed a committee, with

mulate a platform, after which the con-
vention adjourned until . O'Clock.

Bible in the schools; asserts hat God re-
quires, and man needs the Sabbath; de-
mands strict prohibition laws; withdraw
al of charters to secret lodges and their
oaths prohibited by law; opposes prison
and imported contract labor; favors the re-
vision of patent laws; pledges the party to
vote for woman suffrage; asserts that civil
equality, granted by the thirteenth, four
teenth and fifteenth amendments, should
be extended to Indians and Cinnamon;
that international differences should be
settled by arbitration; that land and other
m~onopolies should be discouraged; that
the government should furnish a sound
currency; that the tariff should be reduced
as fast as necessity requires and vested in
such business interests as will allow; that
polygamy should at once be suppressed:
that the Republican party il censurable
for the long neglect of its duty in respect
to this evil; demands the direct vote for
President and Vice President ofthe United
States. The preamble adopte by the
National Christian Association in 1875
was also adopted. The convention then
proceeded to the nomination for President
of the United States. S. C. Pomeroy, of
Kansas Governor St. John, of the same
state, and Rev. j.. Blanchard, of Illinois,
were named. OF the II votes cast Pome-
roy received u. His nomination was
made unanimous. For Vice President,
j. A. Conant, of Connecticut, was nom
mated by acclamation. The national
committee by states was her appointed.
