standing vote, at the taking of which every
delegate arose 10 his feet declared the unan-
imous choice of the convention. Prior to
the taking of the last vote Mr.. Parkhurst
withdrew his name from the consideration of
the convention.
Mr.. Simpson, in few brief and well timed
remarks, thanked the convention for the
honor conferred upon him, and said that ho
felt it to be all the greater honor in that it
came to him wholly unsought; he had made
no effort to secure the nomination and had
asked no man to support him for the posi-
tion. He pledged his best service and prom
ised, if elected, to carry out the wishes of his
constituents to the best of his ability,
The other gentlemen whose names we're
before the convention all expressed their
approval of the choice of the convention and
pledged their earnest and hearty support to
the ticket and to the nominee of the conven-
ton. Hon. j. j. Woodman, being called for,
came to the front and briefly addressed the,
convention, congratulating il on its choice
and commenting on the bright outlook for
republican success. DR.. A. s. Haskin of
Lawrence, Chas. Duncombe of Keller, and

ton adjourned.

In front OF one door, half way up the
street, a child, who could hardly have been
more than twelve years old, stood out in
the cold oil day yesterday and attacked
the passers-by in a which did credit
to her teachers. At a door or two further
up another little gin stood shivering be.
side her companion, who was giving her
lessons in the business.
Before another door an old woman, who
had resisted the e~nticements of hall q
dozen solicitors below, was loudly wrang-
ling with a lively Italian. who would not
take NO" for an answer. The solicitor
argued and the woman swore. The
"puller-in' gained the day, however, and,
almost before the victim knew it, she was
hustled into the shop and left to the mer-
cies OF those inside. These "body-catch-
'ers", 80 the Bowery denizens call them,
are very wary, however, and know the mo-.
ment they look on q passer-by whether she
is game or not. Although every per.
son who walks through the street is APP.
preached in some form or other, there is
only a certain class OF women who are
rudely treated. Experience has made
them cautious about tackling a we'll
dressed woman, but the ordinary Bowery
resident is treated with little ceremony.

EXTENT OF
Omctal Reports Regarding the Increaa
and Decrease OF the Slave Tranic.

Onictal Reports Regarding the Increase
and Decrease OF the Slave Traffic.
A parliamentary blue-book con-
tanning correspondence with British
representatives and agents abroad and
reports from naval officers relative to
the slave trade in 18S+S5, has recently
been published by the English Govern
ment. The countries dealt with in the
book are Brazil, Egypt, Morocco, Per-
STA, Portugal, Turkey and Zanzibar.
The accounts from Brazil show that
both slavery and the sale of slaves were
greatly on the decrease. 1t was
reckoned that in April, 1884, the num-
Der of slaves was 1900, 900, and this
was continually decreasing, chiefly by
means of emancipation or ransom. In
Egypt, as Sir. E. Barring informed Earl
Granville, up to the end of January,
18S4-the period in question appears to
begin with Il occupation-the total
number emancipated was 1896. From
Morocco Sir J.. H. Drummond Hay
sends a very painful story. The num-
Der of slave sales in the early part of
1884 actually trebled in Morocco, and
complaint was made that some of the
slaves were mutilated in a barbarous
manner, from which numbers of them
persisted in horrible agony. The
authorities declared simply that the
abolition of slavery could not be eff
fected. Some months later, however,
the Sultan put a stop to the public sale
of slaves. On April II, 1884, Sir j. H.
d. Hay informed Earl Granville that
with the exception of the French Minis.
ter, no foreign diplomatic officers had
taken steps to prevent those under
their protection from holding or dealing
in slaves. Before the correspondence
is concluded we find that the Danish
and British agents have warned the
subjects of their respective countries
against the traffic. Complaint is made
of the existence of slave traffic between
the Portuguese possessions in East
Africa and Madagascar and the Comoro
Islands.
Wessington Springs herald. (Wessington Springs, Aurora County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1891, 1886-01-15

The "body-catchers" occasionally maks
8 mistake, however. One day last week a
modest little woman, plainly dressed in
black, passed the Milliners' row on her
way to the Chatham Square Station. The
first "puller-in" she came across ap.
preached her a little cautiously, and met
with no response. The second, emboldened
by the others failure, became a trif1e moro
attentive, while No. 3 grasped her by the
arm and nearly forced her inside tho door.
The woman became frightened, and ran
back down the street. Meeting an officer
a few blocks away, she complained to him,
and had the "puller.in" arrested. The
next morning the stranger appeared
agaist her, and the "body-catcher" was
fined ten dollars for disturbing the peace.
This was a rare exception, however, as, in
most cases, persons will not take the
trouble to go to court. The officer on beat
yesterday on Division street said that this
unwillingness on the part of the people in
suited to complain of the women is the
reason that the nuisance can not be
abated.
These women recognize the fact that
the police can not touch them while
standing within the limits OF their door
steps, and when the officer is in sight they
are very careful to not go beyond bounds.

and the moment he has turned the corner
word is %signa1led all along the line and they
indulge in their rad again with the great
est freedom. Besides the arrest mentioned
above, only one other has been made for
several weeks. A young girl happened to
be strolling down the street, looking into
the shop-windows, when she became the
bone Of contention between two rival
"body-catchers'' and wa nearly torn to
pieces in the struggle. One OF the women in
the excitement OF the momen slapped the
other in the face. The young girl who was
the cause OF the quarrel escaped and an
officer arrested the 'pullers-in' and put al
end to the fight. Generally, however, they
work with tho greatest harmony, and a
traveller runs the gauntlet from one to the
other without causing jealousy.
From eight O'Clock in the morning till
eight at night they stand at their posts all
the year round, bare-headed and scantily
clothed. Occasionally they go inside to
warm themselves, but they stand immedi-
ately before the window, on the alert for a
customer. Saturday afternoon and even.
ing is the time OF their high carnival, and
it is then they reap their best successes from
the crowd that passes through Division
street to the Bowery.-M Y. World.

AMBER. along the street
without getting them into the store. The
sidewalk is marrow, and all but about four
feet is blocked with a. mass OF hanging over
coats and full suits OF clothing mounted on
dummies! The "puller-in" is thus able to
block the sidewalk and turn the stream OF
pedestrians into the store. 1t is the ambi-
ton Of every "pullcr-in" to let nobody pass
him. If the man has escaped from the store
above a special effort is made to grab him.
At first the enterprising agents politely ask
their victims to look at their stock, but If
an attempt is made to get by force is used.
The "pullcrs-in" are big, muscular men,
and it is seldom that any one escapes them.
No matter how much resistance is made,
the man is landed in the store and held
there until the salesman gets his hands on
him. This sort OF persuasion has recently
made trouble for the "pullers-in", and sew
eral OF them have been brought before the
courts.
They are no respecters of persons, and
now and then seize upon a man who com
plains OF them. A short time ago Justice
