Bloodhounds in Texas.

Every gang OF convicts in the State,
inside and outside o, the walls, is pro-
vided with three or more trained
hounds, sometimes bloodhounds, but
more ordinarily common deerhounds.
for they are trained mucn better than
the blooded stock. 1t is simply surpris-
ing to see how perfectly these brutes
are trained and how well they under
stand their business. The hounds of
the Huntsville penitentiary are kept
outside the prison walls at what is
known as the State farm.
"And these are the brutes We read so
much abo1t?" I remarked to the super
lntendent.
'Yes; they are tue famous blood
hounds-that is as much bloodhounds
as you will find in Texas. They are
simply deer or fox hounds, trained TO
hunt men,"
"Do you keep them shut up all the
timer"
"Yes; we do that to make them fierce
and to keep them away from the con-
victs. They would make 1t lively for
the boys if they had their freedom"
"Is there much difficult IN training
bioodhounds?'
1--WE do not consider 1t difficult, but
on the contrary, 1 believe the guards
consider it sport. 1t will only require
o few moments to show how it is done. J"
A convict or "trusty" was sent down
through large field with instructions
to climb the fence and make 4 detour
through the timber of couple OF miles
coming out in just the opposite dlrec-
ton from where he started, and return
ing to the farm through a small stream.
which he was compelled to wade. 1t
required some twenty minutes for him
to make the trip, and when he was seen
to emerge from the other side, and it
was certain he could get back in safety,
the hounds were turned loose. They
were shown the trail, ard they started
over fields, through marshes, over
fences and other obstructions with the
speed OF deer. In the meantime the
''trusty" had returned, and was direc-
ted to climb tree some 300 yards dis
tant from where We were standing. be
did not require second bidding, for
the yelp OF the hounds could already be
heard in the distance. Soon they ap.
peared at the edge of the timber and
sprang over the fence without stopping.
The trail was not lost for an instant
When the small stream was reached
they crossed it with bound, and In g
few moments more they were under the
tree, yelping at the convict, who sat in
the branches looking down at the brutes,
and smiling at the fact that this was g
training run and not reality.

WHAT IT MEANS.

No voter of Minneapolis will be at a
loss to know what the denomination OF
Mayor PuLSBURY means. 1t can have
but one meaning, and that Is so plain that
he who runs may read. 1t means that Re-
publican affairs in this city have reached
such a stage that he alone can represent
the party who can pay the price. Republi-
can high places are auctiOned off, as was
the purple seat OF the C-EsARs, to the
highest bidder, and for the mayoralty
GEORGE A. PmLsBURY was the highest
bidder. Others might have had it, but the
cost was too great. c. A. PILLsBURY had
it thrust upon him. but he declined to pay
the price and it remained but to tender it to
GEORGE \. PILLsBURY, who was willing
and able TO put up the necessary sum.
S. W. FARNHAM. q. A. CAMP,
S. p. SNYDER, r. b. LANGDoN,
all wealthy men, might have had it. but all
declined. c. w. CLARK wanted it and
W. W. SLY wanted It, but they were not
rich. and it was not for such as them.
The nomination means that these Re-
publican lords deem the necessities of the
poor of minneapolis are the means whereby
their VOTES ale brought on the market. 1t
means that the jingle of the PILLsBURY
millions will be the keynote of the cam
paign. 1t means an open. deliberate and
fragrant insult to the working classes of
of Minneapolis, for it is a declaration that
they can be purchased. Two years ago, by
the most corrupt aud lavish use of money, a
majority for PMLsBURY was purchased,
and this nomination means the attempt to
repeat the fraud.

AIdermauic Caucuses.

Immediately after the adjournment for
the noon recess the several ward delegations
met in various parts of the hall and pro-
ceeded 10 make their aldermanic nominal
tions. In many wards there were no con-
tests and the selections were eXpeditiously
made.
In the First. f. F. ComStOck. the retiring
alderman was unanimously Te-nominated
without opposition.
Aid. Z. NJ. Johnson, in the Second, was
without an opponent and was nominated by
reclamation.
The Third ward delegation met on the
stage and made a long and finally success
full effort to agree upon an alderman. The
candidates We're p. johnson. ]. j. Getchel,
A. Richardson, o. B. Skinner, Henry Nc
Allister and Bernard Hunt. John
son, Getchell and Richardson were the
only prominent ones the others get
ting one vote piece. Johnson led OF
with s, Getchell and Richardson 4, and
this continued until the sixth ballot, when
the scattering vote went to johnson and
nominated him, the voting standing: john
son 9, Getchell o, Richardson Z, Skinner o,
McAlliSter l. Hunt l. GeeSaman, the
workingman, was never mentioned.
In the Fourth ward Aid. Emerson Cole
was AClOuiAlldlCu W dCCAdlnobAOLAs HdNAils III
opposition.
Aid. s. c. Cutter was nominated in the
Fifth ward by close shave. Col. Hicks
nominated him and the vote stood: Cutter
10. c. ID. Hammond II.
The Sixth ward repeated its experience
of year ago in its struggle over an alder
man, and seventy-five ballots were neces-
sary TO reach result. The fight lay prin-
cipally between Hicks and Converse and
was a prOtracted and bitter one. Hicks
had carried the third precinct. which was
entitled to the choice this year, but Con-
verse had more strength, while the balance
of power lay with a few delegates who
would not go to either. Converse several
times mustered twelve votes, or within one
of a nomination, but could so no further.
| The fight ragged until it became apparent a
dark horse must be entered. On the sew
enty-fifth ballot. thirteen delegates voted
for Walter Babcock and nominated him,
| Converse getting the other eleven. 1t is
altogether probable that the fight will make
Republican chances still Simmer in the
Sixth.
The Seventh ward aldermanic problem
was soon settled. The throwing out of the
Richardson delegation by the committee or
credentials operated TO remove all obstacles
i'm the road for =. A. Grammar, who re.
ceived the unanimous vote of the delega-
tons from both precincts of the ward.
Aid. Albert Lawrence was easily renom.
mated in the Eighth, receiving votes to :
cast for A. L. Chestnut.

the times way back, and delegate, all
primed and ready. hoped up as soon as he
was through and cut OFF further debate by
moving the previous question Col. Cor
don's substitute was adopted. and the rules
as amended were then adopted.
CONFERENCE AGAIN.
Col. Roberts moved the appointment OF
three several conference committees OF nine
members each. 10 put in nomination two
candidates for the school board, four for
park commissioners and two for members
of the library board. Suppose" said Col.
Hicks. 1.-The other parties refuse TO enter
the cOnference?" Then these committees
will nominate and announce the result
through the newspapers, said Col. Roberts
The motion prevailed. On motion OF n.
j. Boardman the chair was instructed TO
appoint a city COMMITTEE of nine, one from
each ward and one at large.
There was nothing now for the cOnven-
tion to do but wait in patience for the re-
turn of the committee in search of Mayor
Pillsbury. This it did for time, and then
sent Col. Gordon out with a search warrant
for the committee. +. Il. Davis whiled
away the time with little speech. in which
he ironically predicted the reelection of
Mayor Pillsbury. BY this time the COM
mittee had returned and DR.. D. j. Evans
reported as follows:
Our apology for being so long is that
Mayor PillshuTy was very reluctant TO ac-
cept the nomination, but when we i'm
pressed upon him the fact that he was the
unanimous choice of the convention, he
yielded and accepted"
With three cheers for Mr.. Pillsbury the
convention adjourned.

MINNEAPOLIS
AMEs FOR MAYOR.

No more enthusiastic invention ever as
sembled within the borders of the state than
that which last night, at Turner hail.
placed A. A. AMEs at the head OF the
Democratic city ticket 1t presented a
marked contrast, and happy one, with tlat
asSemblage which few hours before ter
minated its session in Market hall. Inc
latter was listless, aimless body storhi-
tossed and forlon. looking for pain out oI
the deep sea in which it found ITSELF NO
preSage of coming victory inspired IL.
Without object and almost without hope IL
met and adjourned. The Democratic con-
ventiOn, on the other hand, was radiant win
hope and enthusiastic in the hush OF GER
tain victory. Unanimous in It's cholee or
leader and sanguine of IFS success IN his
election. enthusiasm was not only natural,
but boundless. 1t was not a kid-glove as
semblage. and would have been out of place
in Union league gathering, but
it was a convention representing the
city of Minneapolis through every pursuit
and ayocaton of life, and was representa-
tive to the last degree, When DR.. AMEs
presented himself to accept the nomination,
the storm of applause might have pene-
trated to the center of the richest Republi-
can home in the city. AMEs is the ideal
of a mighty mass of people which is limited
to no class or sect. He is, TO many, what
NAPOLEON was to the grand army of
France. His name is tower of strength
wherever heard, and will be the battle-cry
of victory in the campaign now opened.
Mr.. HoLBRooK. the nominee for comp
troller, is the bookkeeper for the j. l. Case
Implement company, and is an exception
ably bright, intelligent and capable young
man. who will fill the Office of comptroller
with credit and ability. Withal, the con-
ventiOn did its work in q crisp, clean-cut
style that will commend itself to the indie
pendent voters of the city.

George A. Pillsbury is the Republican
candidate for mayor. as has been generally
expected, his frequent and reiterated de-
mails and destinations Notwithstanding.
The moment the nomination was rendered
him, he accepted il and entered the race,
and Yesterdays conventions adjourned in a
well satisfied mood. Samuel GoOdnow was
nominated for comptroller without Qpposi-
ton. In accordance with a past policy.
the selection of candidates for the park,
library and school boards was left TO a non
partisan conference, the Republican mem
berS OF which were ordered appointed.
On the whole, it was a representative and
creditable convention, despite the many
ridiculous scenes enacted. and. for a body
OF men, most Of whom were utterly at sea,
got through with its business in good shape.

IS THE MAYOR HoNEsTs

If Mayor PILLSBURY had kept his mouth
closed or if he had waived or evaded the
question of a second term. he would to-day
be the Republican nominee and in posses
sion of all Of the respect with which the
people have honored him. He has been
honOred with that respect. In spite of all
OF the shortcomings of his administration,
the deceit. sham and hypocrisy which char
acterized it; the notorious corruption in
official circles; the dark cloud which over
hung the police and detective forces; the
open and fragrant violation of the Sunday
and liquor laws; in spite of all these, the
public had great respect for the mayor
personally, for it said he knew nothing of
it and was not to blame. This generous
public knew there was power behind the
throne, in the grasp of which Mr.. PILLS
BURY was a mere child and helpless-and
it forgave and still respected him. But
to-day the feeling has changed. That same
public heard him tell the convention he
could not decently and hOnorably accept
the nomination and then saw him, before
the echo of his own words had died away,
turn and accept it. He had pledged him
self not to accept it. He had told the pa
pers, he had told his friends, he had told
official deputations he would not accept and
that no circumstances nor combination OF
circumstances could induce him to accept
and then accepted. He did not accept be.

to his credit that honest shame deferred hin
