Result of the Tournament of the Local Club
The Match at St. Louis.
The Indianapolis clubs tournament has beer
completed, and the score stands as follows:

Messrs. u. j. Hammond and Samuel Delzell
belonged to this class, and were compelled to
withdraw, the latter going to Florida. Owing
to the absence of Msssrs. Heller. Watson, and
others the contest has come to a standstl, If
Judge Heller had not been compelled to leave
the city, on account OF his health he, in all
probability, would have led the score. Other
strong players in the club did not take part in
the contest.
The scores in classes B and G are not COM
pleted, but Mr.. A. G. Metcalf easily leads.

congressional conventions were appointed. The

and, among other things, changed the time of
the county nominating election from April 10 the
second Monday in March. A. O. Marsh made a
ringing speech. in which he arraigned the Demo
cratic party for fraud and corruption of every
kind The following resolution was unanimously
and enthusiastically adopted:
Resolved, That we condemn in unmeasured terms
the cowardly policy of the Democratic executive in
the removal of Republican Office holders, wherein,
der the guse of civilservice reform and pretended
compliance with the law it encourages character
sassination and robs the Republican oficeholder of
place and character at under apparent cloud
without trial
Several gentlemen, heretofore prominent Dem
ocrats, were present and took lively interest
in the convention. They have become disguised
with the hypocrisy and fraud of their own
party, and declare their intentions of deserving
their party and joining the Republican ranks.

Mysterious Quake.

Between IL and l. O'Clock yesterday
Mr.. Frank W. Christian and Colonel
W. W. Gordon, who have law Offices
over the Planters Bank, came into the
bank and asked Mr.. VI. S. Quarles, the
cashier, what they were doing down
there to shake the building so ; were
they moving a safe: Mr.. Quarles said
mo -; that he hadn't felt any shak
ing. They all then went up stairs and
found that the building was still in
tIemor. Coming down into the bank
again, the same sensation was expe-
rienced there. In the vault-which Is
soldly built up from the earth Of brick
and stOne--it was found that piece Of
paper attached to the gaS-fxtures and a
lot Of papers on file were swaying to
and fro. There being these in
dubitable evidences Of the motion
of the building, an effort was made to
ascertain the cause. 1t was supposed
that the DispdteA's big press was run
ming, and that the tremor was attribu-
table TO it; but upon inquiry it was
found that that press was not in use at
that time nor was any large press in
motion at Pizzini's or at Andrews.
Baptist q Clemmitt's printing-oilices.
All effort to account for the mysterious
moving was in vain.
On the basement floor, where Mr..
George II. Poindexter, Mr.. William
Loyenstein. and Mr.. William Ellyson
and others have offices, the shaking. was
not felt at all. though it must have heen
going on on the two floors overhead for
ten or fifteen minutes.

Alnrd from MIR. POlia ri.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
| beg space in your columns to say in
reference to two articles that have lately
appeared in your paper, one signed by
Colonel Rufln and the other by :" A
Member" in which | am given the
credit for introducing the scheme " 70
appropriate a portion of the surplus
revenue of the Commonwealth to the
purchase of its recognized debt" that |
did not originate the scheme, though |
heartily approve it and am willing to
say so under my signature.
1t is due to General Wickham that it
should be said that he introduced the
bill-Senate Bill No. rs, session Of
lSs3-'o4. II may also be said, with
out being inyidious, that If A Men,
ber," who criticises the scheme, has
ore half the financial sagacity OF Gene
raj Wickham he need not have written
anonymously.
In the House Of Delegates at the
same session Hon. Thomas p. Filz-
patrick, Of Nelson county, than whom
few wiser men have ever been in that
body, moved to amend the appropria-
tion bill by incorporating on it the pro-
visions Of General Wickham's bill, and
this amendment was adopted and thus
passed into law. See House Journal
lee3-'S4. page 7l9.
1t would be easy to defend the mea-
sure from the attack Of 4" A Member ="
if any defence was needed. While he
has been writing Riddles have ad-
vanced four points and are now worth
65, and the liquor-dealers have wisely
repudiated his gratuitous suggestion to
pay their taxes in coupons. Surely no
defence is needed.
