Seed distribution.

II may not be generally known that the
government does a large seed business.
The object is to introduce into the various
sections Of the country such new and yalu-
able products as may be adapted to the
soil and climate Of each. Last year $751;
900 was voted for this purpose, and this
year the grant has been increased to $780,
900. The work Of distribution gives en-
ployment to $50 women and So men.
Every year the chief of the department is
buying up tons of seeds, two-thirds Of the
appropriation being spent in the purchase
and the remainder in putting them up.
During the past year 1922. 730 packages
we're mailed, 2,912. 730 Of which went to
Congressman. The rest we're distributed
smong the crop correspondents OF the
Agricultural Department in every county
and State. All sorts are sent out, from field
corn and potatoes to the rarest flowers. In
last years distribution 565 packages Of
sunfiowers were given away.

and conservative spirit.

After the hall had been cleared, at 10

resumed and went on very successfully.
Col. Ellis, in his remarks, thanked the

in allowing the interruption. The tenn

rather as an advertisement, and a big
crowd Of generous merry.mskers are in
attendance as we go to press.

Hurrah for Cassidy

Reno P~laindealer: After a spirited con
test at the Catholic Fair last week, be-
tween the friends Of Congressman Cassidy
and Mr.. WOODBURY.. the celebrated Irish
black thorn stick was awarded to Mr.
Cassidy. He received 2oS votes to Mr.
W%oodburn's 1872. These votes having been
sold for two bits apiece, the fair realized
for the stick the neat little sum OF S97 Oh.
Straws show which way the wind blows,
and in this case it is particularly signifi'
cant, as the town is supposed to be he
publican, and quite a number of Republi'
cans bought chances for Cassidy. Mr.
Woodburn being in town Saturday night,
he visited the fair and put up $40 ON the
stick for himself, which equaled 40 votes.
SO it can be readily seen how Mr.. Wood
burn stands politically in Reno.

THE "FOOLS" ARGUMENT.
The Bets ON Election In New York
City.

NeD York Truth, Oct. %.
The betting on election uns in different
channels differently. The favorite bets,
however, seem to be upon the general re-
suit, on the majority in this city and in
the State, and on certain States consider
ed doubtful. Fifty thousand dollars came
up from New Haven last week to bet on
Blaine's election, and was Immediately
snapped up. For twenty-four hours there
after 100 sporting men travelled the city
from place to place to catch onto some of
that DOODLE" but the mar was cleaned out,
and went back to Connecticut for more
money to meet the increasing demand.
Last night in various parts of the city
the following bets were made. They will
give an idea of what is going on every
night in this line and index the popular
feeling:
Even ON Cleveland's election.
One to three that New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut will be carried by the
Democrats.
One to four that Cleveland carries New
York without New York county.
One to our that Cleveland carries New
York City by 10000 majority.
One to four that Blaine loses Ohio.
One to four that in Maine the Republi-
can majority Of 1884 will be reduced in
November, 1884.
One to three that Massachusetts, Re-
publican maiority of 1884 will be reduced
this year.
Even that Indiana will go Democratic in
November.
Even that Blaine will not get q Southern
State.
One to three that Vermont's Republican
,oaiori&v IF 2Q0 will ha raIraa1 kb;a uaor
Even that Michigan goes Democratic.
Even that Florida, South Carolina or
Louisiana, which we're declared for Hayes
in 1876, will go for Cleveland this year.
One to four that the Republican ma
jority OF 1880 in New Hampshire, Penn
sylvania, or Rhode Island, will be de-
creased this year..
One to four that the 1880 majorities will
be increased in any of the following Demo-
cratic States, namely: Alabama, Arkansas,
Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Missis-
sippi, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
Even that California will go Democratic.
One to four that Cleveland will carry
Kansas.
One to three that Nevada goes Demo-
cratic.
One to two that Oregon declares for
Cleveland.
One to three ON Cleveland carrying Con.
necticut.
Even that Cleveland's majority in New
York State will reach 10000.
One to five that Minnesota goes Demo
cratic.
Even that either Indiana, Nevada, or
Oregon, will go Democratic.
Two to n that West Virginia will give
Grover Cleveland a majority.
Even that Cleveland will receive DOT cleo
toral votes.
Even that Blaine will not receive TIA
electoral votes.
There are 401 electoral votes this year,
and 201 are necessary to elect.

TAYLOR, New, Oct. 26. 1884.
Ed. SENTINEL: The town Of Taylor is
swarmed with politicians from the head to

b~uttonholing every quiet or unquiet citi-
zen. Even Tom Robinson has had the
courage to beard the lion in his den. Tom

you would take Taylor by storm il Briggs

gerous. You no sooner drink Republican

q number of votes for Cleveland. A few
more such addresses in Washoe would take

Special 10 The San Francisco Alta.
New YORK, Oct. 26.-It is stated that
ex-senator Roscoe Conkling has decided to
come out openly against Blaine and sup
port Cleveland. He will probably address
a msss-meeting in this city on Wednesday
or Thursday. The Cleveland and Hem
bricks Produce Exchange Club has in
vited him, and he has decided to accept.
The arrangements for the meeting are not
yet completed, but it will be the greatest
thing of the kind ever known in this city.
Conkling's friends say that he would have
spoken earlier had he believed that there
was any danger Of Blaine's election. He
is disinclined to re-enter the political field,
and was determined not to do 30. But
now he yields at the solicitation Of his Stall
wart friends, who desire him to take 8 de-
termined stand for an honest government,
and he and they unite and bolt against
Blaine. This action of Conkling was only
needed to bring all the Stalwart forces into
line. Should it accomplish that result.
the Stalwart leaders anticipate that from
forty TO fifty thousand Republicans of New
York State, aside from the Independents,
will go to the polls on election day and
vote a straight Cleveland and Hendricks
ticket.

to promote the public welfare. He con-
tended that free trade is out of the ques-
ton, that no party favors it, and read the
tariff planks of both parties to prove the
assertion. Every body favors q tariff, and
differ only as to the manner Of adjusting
it. 1t is now As per cent higher
on dutiable articles-higher than in
any other country, and he quoted
statistics to show that the country
was more prosperous from 1850 to
1860, when the tariff averaged IA per cent,
than it has been since. During that de-
cade the property Of the country increased
l26 per cent, which is a higher ratio Of in
crease than in any decade since then.
Property is being concentrated in the
hands OF a few, and a few hundred mil
lionaires like Vanderbilt and Jay Gould
would own all the country. Here in Ne
vada we are all consumers; everything we
use is made somewhere else. Eleven com
panies in the United States are engaged in
making steel rails, for instance, and they
are protected by a tariff of $35 per ton. If
an English or German manufacturer
could make such rails at one cent per ton,
they would lose money unless they
could sell them here for more than
S35 per ton, as they would have
to pay $35 per ton duty. The
railroads levy a high tariff on
freight and passengers to pay for those
rails, 30 it comes out of the pockets of
the people. In Louisiana they pay S., 000,-
00O per year in the sugar business, and the
people of the United States pay $50. 000, 900
q year to protect them. In the East they
say we must raise the tariff because the
price OF labor is 80 high, and in the West
they say we must increase the tariff to
raise the price of labor. Like the late
Harry Mighels, he is for the interests of
his " State first. President Arthur, in
his message, recommended q reduction Of
the tariff, and a commission appointed by
him to investigate the subject also recon-
mended its reduction.
The speaker dwelt for some time on this
subject, and read some humorous extracts
on the matter, which created considerable
merriment.
MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS.
Col. Ellis explained the duty of the
Government in affording protection to its
citizens, and said he had q conversation
with Daniel insolvency upon his arrival
in New York recently, and was informed
by him that he did not know, ever to this
day. upon what charge, if any, he was i'm
prisoned for over IA months in Ireland.
He did not know, however, that when
Blaine retired from the Secretary of
States Office he went out Of prison. he
contrasted the policy Of the Republican
party in McSweeney's case with that of the
Democratic party IN Koszta's case, when
Capt. Ingraham threatened to blow an
Australian frigste out of the water If
Koszta, who had declared his intention to
become an American citizen, was not set
at liberty.
He referred to the great meeting of bust
ness men in New York, when Gov. Cleve-
land visited that city a week or SO ago,
when he saw 20, 900 merchants in line, and
later in the day 100, 900 w~orkingmen and
business men, all for Cleveland, whose
election by a large majority was assured.

A WHITE House DINNER.

How FOrty-eight Persons Were Squeez-
ed Where Only Thirty-six Were
Squeezed Before.
The President has managed to distance
all of his predecessors, says a Washing
ton New York Sul special, in one respect
he has squeezed torty-eight persons into
the state dining room at the White House.
Thirty-siX had been the limit before. and
that number could only be seated bv
putting four of the third-rate diplomats
at the corners of the table. 1t was very
grand and very tedious, and the life-SaV-
ing stations, as the wines served on these
occasions are called, occurred with com
mendable frequency. The President es-
cOrted Mrs Preston, the wife Of the Hav-
tleu Minister, Mr.. Preston being by semi
Ority Of service the dean of the diplomatic
corps Mr.. Preston took Mrs McErOv.
who wore a beautiful lilac gown. There
were not enough ladies to 90 around. so
fourteen of the diplomats had to be paired
with each other. Nine. De StruVe. the
wife Ofthe Russian Minister, was allotted
to the Chinese Minister, Mr.. Tsao Ju. who
knows only eleven words of any language
but Chinese, three OF which are. GLOW
You feel:' Miss West and Miss Freling-
huysen were the only young ladies pres
ent.
The Marine Band changed and rOared in
the main corridor, fairly drowning the con-
yersation, which was pOlyglOt There
were beds and banks of roses and lilies.
and the table was adorned with the long
flat mirror selected by Mrs. Grant and the
Hiawatha boat of silver chosen by Cousin
Lucy Hayes. The President pretended to
be enjoying himself hugely, although he
was not on speaking terms with about
half his guests, owing to the difficulties of
English as she is spoke. Mrs McElroy is
lively and self-pOssessed woman, and
helps the diplomats out when they are
tioored by the mysteries of the menu. Mr..
Frelinghuysen was in his glory. The
diplomats think that the Secretary of
State is quite an influential person.
No American hog product was served
in any form, and thereby painful sugges-
tiOns were avoided. At IL O'Clock the
President adjourned sine die, after having
taken champagne i'm fourteen languages.
II one should notice all the customs of
the White House, it would appear that
the President of the United States is al
ways treated according to the motions of
George Washington. For example at

WASHINGTON SOCIETY.

Some of It's Most Pronounced Types.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Washington
society, next to that of New York, with
the possible exception of the society of
Boston, is the greatest imitation of the
English in this country. There are dudes
of the most pronounced type and all the
other needed accessories. In one thing
Washington society goes ahead of either
Boston or New York. That is in the Ian
guage used in describing social events.
Big private balls are called ''routs."
Then there are "afternOons" and "tiffin.;
These Washington has had for several
years. 1t is but lately, however, that
new and more apparent imitation
has sprung up. The lady who presides at

journals are to be believed No. Mrs.
McElroy, the Presidents sister, don't
give receptions. Like Mrs. Victoria. she

THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
CONVENTION.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-St. Louis. Chi
cago, Louisville and Cincinnati are the
cities whose candidacy for the honor of
entertaining the next Democratic Con-
vention is the most prominent. Indiana
Democrats talk something of indianapolis.
arguing that to hold the convention there
will tend to secure Democratic ascendancv
in the State. New York men talk of
saratoga. They talk of the political effect
that Will ensue in New York State. But the
western men hold that it will be too in
convenient for Western delegates to come
all the way to Saratoga. Louisville seems
TO be doing the most work just now. A
kentucky member of the House told me to-
day that the city of Louisville had raised
very large sum of money to secure the
convention. The opponents of ex-senator
Mcdonald and the opponents of tariff re-
Iorm IN the party are, however. against
LOUISVILLE. The former say that Louis
vile is too near Indiana, and that the Nc
donald clans of that State would oVerrun
tne city and get up a hurrah for their
chleItaln, thus securing an unfair advan-
tage. The opponents of free trade
say that Louisville is the hot
bed OF that idea, and it will
not do to go there with a convention.
Chicago is strong and has many adher-
ents. SO also has Cincinnati, but the can
didates nominated there the last time were
defeated. st. Louis seems to be the strong
est. Ihe Missouri members say that al
though she has not made much of a de-
monstration, yet she wants the conven-
ton, and wants it bad. At the proper
time she will come out strong, they say.
They put forward, too, the statement that
Illden and Hendricks, who were nomi-
mated there, were elected. The chances
seem to favor ST Innis
