How Cleveland Was Nominated.

The stampede began in Kansas. One of
her Bayard men ran into the Cleveland
camp for shelter. Then North Carolina
thrilled the Convention by changing her
solid Bayard vote to Cleveland. The
flood had begun, and the galleries and
outside crowd were in ecstasy. Every
body was on his feet, and all the dele
gates were buzzing excitedly. Virginia
was the next to change. She added ten
more Of her votes to theCleveland colurln
He had now passed the 500 mark, and
needed only forty more votes to no1ni-
nate him. Georgia jumped into the gap,
adding eight more votes to his column
Then little Delaware lowered Bayard's
standard and went under with her 6
votes. Florida came next with 9 more
votes. West Virginia added 8. Missouri
came next with II additional votes.
Cleveland's total had reached $40. He
needed seven more votes to nominate
him. There was Great confusion. The

THE GRAFTON 8 eREENBRIER n. r.


Supt. Butcher is 10 charming frame OF
mind over the prospects of near compile
ton Of the extension Of the. Grafton and
Greenbrier railroad through the county Of
Randolph. During the early fall Mr..
BUrcHER devoted good deal Of 'ime work
ing upon interests favorable to the road. 1t
win be remembered thatRandolph and Bar
bOunties subscribed nearly 81, 100000 to the
road in order that it be extended from
PhiEppi its present terminus up the Tygarts
Valley river up to Beverly, and thence to
Huttonsville, distance of fifty miles. The
read, il is estimated, will cost $4,000 per
mile. The cost, therefore, win be $500, 900
for the fifty miles. If the 100000 was
raised, syndicate agreed to furnish the
other 100000 on first mortgage. The
farmers were ayerse to the proposition until
SUPT. BUTCHER showed them to certainty
that they could save 100 per cent on the
merchandise that came into the county. He
illustrated his point very forciblY
on salt. This article is used
in large quantities by the stock
raisers in Randolph 1t costs about seventy
FIVE cents a barrel at the works. It reaches
PhilEppi by river and rail sta cost Of sl.25.
or making the salt worth g barrel
From PhiEppi to Huttousville the haul BY
wagon is s.. II they had railroad the
haul from PGIlipgi would not cost over
forty or fifty cents. The saving on this
article alone would more than pay all the
taxes of the Randolph county farmers.
Mr.. BUTCHER SAYS this argument was
convincing. he further says: "Six miles
of the road will be completed this winter
and within one year there will be railroad
communication to Huttonsville, making sew
enty -four miles Of narrow-gusge road from
Grafton right into the heart Of the State.
The time was when narrow-guage roads
had decided opposition on the ground of
being compelled to break bulk wherever
they connected with trunk roads,
which, of course, are standard.
gauge. This objection is entirely done
away at Grafton by an ingenious coutri-
vance called Jersey shifter." By this
means the body of the car is virtually lifted
from the narrow-gauge trucks and the stan
dard gauge run under. The order of this
is reversed when car loads of freight are in
tended for the narrow gauge, substituting
the proper trucks. This improvement for
avoiding breakage Of bulk will unquestiona-
bly, bling narrSw gauge roads for short dis
tances into more general use.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF the secretary of the Interior.

OF the Secretary OF the Interior.
WASHINGTON, D. c., November 2T.-The
following is a synopsis Of the report of the
Secretary of the Interior.
The first subject treated is the Indian
question. The Secretary says the last year
has been one of peace among the Indian
tribes. New buildings have been
erected at several of the agencies
during the past year for the
accommodation &C of the children in the
boarding schools. In the same time hve
new boarding and twelve new day schools
have been established. The number Of
boarding schools now in operation is 81;
day schools, 76; industrial schools, s. Four
teen boarding and four day schools are pro-
vided with teachers and other employees by
various religious bodies. There are also
% schools maintained by churches and as
sociations without expense TO the Govern
ment, and to the support of which the Co..
ernment contributes nothing. Three new
industrial schools have been completed and
put in successful operation during the last
wear with capacity Of 900 children.
The Osages.
The Osages have taken an advanced po-
sision in educational matters, having en-
acted law through their council requiring
eight months attendance at school of each
child of school age, or the forfeiture of a
years annuity, amounting to about 500
Der capita. Besides the children in the
agency schools they have about 100 chill
dren at other schools away from the agency.
The total anmber Of Indian schools outside
the Eve civilized tribes is 2l1. The total
number of pupils is 1878.
The buildings provided for the Indians
will accommodate but about oue-iorth OF
the school population. The Secretary de-
precstes the insutfeiency of the appropria-
lions for school work, and says j. greatly
retards the progress Of the pupils, He

claims that the manual labor school is the
greatest agency for the civilization of the
Indians and favors their rapid establish
ment. There is now due the Indians from
the government under various treaties
81, 4,033, 100, and it is urged that tins
should be promptly paid. On this pointthe
Secretary says:
at is true that the debt is due to depen-
dent and weak people who have but little
disposition to complain of the neglect OF the
Government to fulfill its obligation, and are
wanting in ability to compel the perform
ance thereof; vet their very weakness and
lack of disposition to complain ought to
stimulate the Government to sacredly per
form all the provisions of treaties providing
for the education and advancement OF these
people," The disarming of the Indian IS
strongly urged, and he recommends the gen
eral establishment of '"Court Of Indian
Offenses," and asks that suitable appro
priation be made for the Indian Judges who
act in this court. The idea OF leasing In
dian lands at fair rental is advocated,
and he saws the cash annuities due Indians
should be paid in stock, agricultural imple'
ments, or BY erecting suitable dwellings for
those who wish to occupy them. The Crow
reservation is said to be larger by 3,OOO,OO
acres than is necessary.
The General Land ONCE.
The report of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office shows that sales, en-
tries, and selections of public lands under
various a cts of Congress, embrace Il, ,934,-

over the year 1888 of S,l0l, 1920 The
receipts for disposal of public lands are
IL, $40, 993. OF; Indian lands, $038, 1926,
or total Sl2,779, 1893. The Commis-
sioner reports the total number OF entries,
&c, to be as follows:
The total number of entries and filings
made during the year is 2S6, 1892, aggregat-
ing 4O,625, 900 acres.
The total number of entries and filings
posted during the year is 327, 1876.
Twenty one thousand two hundred and
eighty-six pre-emption entries were made
during the year, embracing an area OF 3,2O6,
U95 SO acres.
The repeal of the exemption law is re-
commended because of the fraud that is
practiced.
Pensioners.
There are 34l ,874 pensioners on the Gov
ernment rolls, of whom 23,4lO draw pen
sions because of the war 1872. The singu,
lar fact appears that while the survivors OF
that war are but 1893, the widows of those
who served number 1882. The average
annual value of each pension is SlO6 10.
The, amount paid for pensions
during the year was S57,OOO,OOO. Two

who is also chairman Of the Cook County
Democratic Central Committee, said this
morning: Every member Of the Federal
grand jury that had any hand in vio-
lating the state law by opening that bal
lot box will have his name pre-
sented to the county grand jury tomorrow,
and an indictment against each one Of the
eighteen will be asked for. Yes, and
we will try to have Judge Blodgett and
United States District Attorney Tuthill
indicted too. If we cannot reach
them in this way we can through Congress,
and we will do it." Several prominent local
Democrats held conference last night with
Congressman Springer and it is reported that
on the assembling of congress he will moVefor
the appointment of a committee to inves-
tigate the election in the Sixth Senatorial
district and the legal proceedings which
resulted from it. The indictment against
the three judges, Peter Hansbrough;
DR.. Simon Strausser and Samuel
P. Shields and against fhe two clerks, E. D.
Kelly and NJ. Sullivan, has net vet been pre-
sented to the court, but each Of
them has arranged bail in the
sum of $4,000. The State canvas
sing board meeting at Springfield is expected
TO decide whether certificate OF election
shall be issued to Leman or Brand to,mor-

however, it will have no effect on the CON-
