CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 25.-The Repub-
lican state convention was the hveheSt,
noisiest political gathering that has been held
in northern Ohio for a dozen years. 1t was q
battle in which each contestant claims a
victory but in which neither side has been de-
feated The names of Arthur Edmunds and
Logan were forgotten, and the only question
as to delegate was: Was he for Blaine or
Sherman!
During the proceedings for the selection OF
delegates to Chicago there was great con-
fusion and excitement. The chairman, Gen.
Mckinley, was declared elected two or three
times in spite of his protest and refusal to en-
tertain the motions to that effect, and is one
of the delegates as finally decided upon. The
other delegates chosen We're: Judge Foraker,
Judge w. II. West, Mark A. Hanna.
The convention revised the platform by
throwing out all references to the liquor
issue, and declaring for a system of internal
revenue.
There is but one solid Blaine man in the
delegation, and that man, Judge West, is
against Sherman only because the Ohio legis-
lature is Democratic. Judge Foraker, Con-
gresham Mckinley and Mark A. Hanna are
all Sherman men.

vention assembled here at noon. There were
739 delegates in attendance, representing
every county in the state. About one-third

most intelligent Readjuster conventions ever
held in this state. About IL o'clock Senator

called the convention to order. Senator
Malone was cheered vociferously as the
"black mans friend"

East India Competition in wheat

LONDON, April 24.-The daily papers COM
menting upon the fall of prices in wheat in
the United States, and the report that the
decline is caused by stories Of increased pro-
duction in India, state on the authority of
several Of the best English commercial
authorities, that there is no reasonable ex-
pectation that India will become formida-
BILE rival of the United States in the supply
of wheat The reasons given are the difficult
ties attending efforts to popularize modern
farming implements among the people and
the inferior quality of Indian wheat as com.
pared with American standards.

WASHINGTON CITY, April 24-The
report of the department of agriculture, just
out, shows some interesting facts regarding
the improvement of the cattle of Illinois and
Iowa by the importation and infusion Of i'm

that in Illinois 30 per cent. of the 1850, 900
cattle in the state are now "high grade, :"
those having more than half fine blood of all

"high grade" The commissioner estimates
the Improvement in the value of Illinois

Eowa Democracy.

BURLINGTON, Iowa, April 25.-The Demo-
cratic convention which assembled here has
been characterized with greater zeal than
is usually manifested in Democratic gather
ings in Iowa. In the final objec-
tive point there was almost absolute
unanimity at every stage. From the
time the delegates began to arrive
to the close Of the convention there was no
suggestion of t.Ie presidential candidate that
awaked any enthusiasm except that Of Til
den, so upon this point there is no division Of
the sentiment of Iowa Democrats. The con-
vention, however, was far from being
harmonious and, although the prelimi-
nary stages were passed with compare
tive smoothness, in fact with the placid tran
guilty which marks the operation of we'll
perfected machine, the afternoon session was,
to an extraordinary degree, g stormy and ex-
cited one.
The committee on resolutions preseIte a
series which favor the passage of tla Till

dent and call for tariff reloEiA,
The allusion to Tilden was the occasion of
intense enthusiasm and repeated cheers. Be-
fore the cheering had subsidized Mayor Claus
sen, of Davenport, was on his feet, and as
soon as he could be heard moved the adop-
ton of resolutions, denouncingiin the severest
terms the recent prohibitory legislature, and
demanding judicious license law.
This precipitated scene Of great confu-
sion, and for awhile the chairman was I'M
able to contgol the excited members. 1t was
evident at the outset that the convention
was about equally divided in sentiment as to
the propriety of the minority report.
A motion was made to lay the minority re-
port on the table. Although explained by
the chair as being in effect motion to table
both the minority and majority reports, it
was evidently carried by the convention,
The chair arose equal to the occasion, and,
by declaring that the motion had failed,
saved to the convention the platform, which
otherwise would have been buried by the op-
ponents of the minority report.
Cannon, of Scott, got the floor and
proposed, as substitute, the following:
Resolved, That the Democrats of Iowa are
opposed to all sumptuary legislation, and re-
gret any action which adds the method of the
informer to the infamy of the spy, and are
resolved, by every legal means, to blot the
foul stigma from the fair face of Iowa.
Everybody settled down for the enjoy
ment of another circus, but the rapidly flee
ing hours and the growing bitterness of the
dissension warned them that the dis
cussion must not be prolonged, and finally
the resolutions presented by the majority
and minority Of the committee were referred
back to the committee on resolutions, which
finally referred them to the next convention.
S. H. Kinnie and H. FL. Trimble were
selected as delegates -at-large, after which
D. M. Harris and E. FL. Thayer were added.
The district conventions of eleven districts
met and selected two delegates from each,
all of whom are for the old ticket.

SHELBYvILLE, ILL.,, April 26.-The residence
of L. M. Lynn, editor of The Greenback Her.
aid, of this city, was stoned about midnight
by hoodlums. Much damage was done to
the windows and doors, and many stones
went into the house, but as the family
had retired there was luckily no
damage done to the inmates, The cause is
supposed to be from The Herald's attack on
the hoodlum element and its doings during
the recent election. Citizens are deprecating
such base acts of revenge, and will make an
endeavor to detect the rascals and bring them
to punishment.

UTICA, April 24-There was much plan
ming and caucusing among the delegates to the
Republican convention during the morning,
the object of the same being the capture by
either the Blaine or Arthur men of the Ed
munds contingent which was compact and
abundanty large enough to control the ac-
ton of the convention. 1t tranSpired before
noon that the Arthur and Edmunds men had
made some sort of agreement, said to be on
basis of sending Edmunds men to Chicago,
the advantage to the Arthur men being that
these delegates would support their candi-
date, if Edmunds had no show, rather than
Blaine.
The convention met at $780, with full
representation from all the counties in the
state and an immense audience in the gal
eries. The only contest was from Mont
gomery county. Theodore Roosevelt nom-
mated n. c. Boynton (Edmunds-Arthur),
and Warner Miller named Edward L. Pitts
Tor temporary chairman. The result OF the
rol-call was. Boynton, 251; Pitts, 240;
which was the signal for tremendous cheer
ing. the vote being a black eye for the Blaine
ulen,
Boynton took the chair and the usual COM
mittees were appointed, and the convention
took recess till $50 p. m.
The COMMITTEES on platform then reported.
The resolutions express confidence in the sue
cess of the Republican party in the coming
presidential election; compliment the adj
ministration of President Arthur as prudent
and sagacious, commencing itself to the
esteem Of the country; approve Republican
management Of the government; endorse
the policy of protection; approve the party's
past action and present purpose to bring the
civil service to the highest state of efficiency,
its advocacy Of equal civil rights
and free ballot, its approval OF
national legislation to assist in the education
of the illiterate, its support of the movement
to put the navy upon respectable footing,
its adherence to sound financial principles
and advocacy Of suspension of coinage OF the
silver dollar and adjustment of the currency
to a gold standard, and its protest against
policy of unrest in matters affecting the bus
mess interests of the country and determlna-
ton to do nothing that shall create feeling
of uncertainty among them.
Mr., Nicol offered the following resolution,
which was adopted;
Resolved, That the. Republicans of New
York in state convention represented, re-
spectfully request the next national Republi-
can convention to provide that in the future
national conventions representations shall be
proportionate to the number of Republican
voters of the state and congressional districts
respectively.

tempt to kill by shooting, has been sur.
rendered by bis boudsmen, and Is again 10

ried and his family 10 time consisted Of ten
children, all Of whom survive exopt one.
Twenty three years ago be removed
to Pleasant Valley, Wisconsin,, and
from that time dates an
epoch OF crime In the Northwest. Poverty
soon created discomfort among the child
rem. This was the time, says the old man.
when the oldest son, Dell, fell into the
clutches OF man named Al Lansen. The
remaining six boys soon became In league
with the latter, and the family attracted the
attention Of the criminal world. An or.
ganizstion was formed consisting OF Dell,
Sam and George Moon, David George, and
Ed and Lon Williams. Shortly
after one of the incursions into Missouri
by the band q family by the name Of
Chase moved into the vicinity. Lucinda
Moon married David Chase. and their son,
William Chase, 10 in Wsupum for life for
the murder Of Perry Smith At Sandy Creek
some years ago. The interminging Of the
Cases and Moons swelled the dime usions Of
the gang, and 1t 10 broke up into parties,
some going TO Durand, others to Dakota,
and the rest remaining Ia the valley. Dur
ing the month Of September Dell Moon shot
one OF his brothers and wounded q nep.
hew. for which be was arrested, but re.
leased on bonds. with neighbor named
Thompson, as surety. Now the latter has
decided to surrender Dell, and Sheriff
DonnelI left the city early 10 the morn
ing and drove out out to Moons house TO
arrest him. The home OF the bandit is \
scene o! degradation. 1t Is composed Of
one room, dimy lighted, and occupied by
two beds covered with dirty trash. The
walls, where they are not hung with old
garments, are decked with dry shrubs and
evergreen boughs, between which hang
Winchester rides and other implements Of
warfare. The Shsriff's party arrived at
Moons about daylight, and rap at the
door brought Moon, who was in bed, 10
the window. He came 70 the door with
revolver in his hand, hut offered no resis-
lance, aud was brought to town and placed
in the county Jail.
