tate Convention OF Republican Club
Second Call.
KANSAS HEADQUARTERS,
REPUBLICAN LEAGUE OF THE
UNITED STATES,
TOPEKA, March 10, 1883.

UNITED STATES,
TOPEKA, March 10, 1888.
The serious outlook of the railway
strike Saturday night, rendering travel
so uncertain that the attendance at
the Convention set for the 21st instant
would certainly be largely diminished,
made il apparent that the Convention
should be postponed. No one regrets
this more than we, but justice to the
delegates required that the order should
be made Saturday, in order to give
time for the notice to reach all the
clubs.
In order to escape further trouble
on account of the strike, we changed
the date for the Convention to meet to
April IL. Since that order was made
the situation, happily, has changed.
The strike is over; and finding that the
date chosen would seriously interfere
with other appointments. we now call
the Convention to meet in Representa-
tive Hall at Topeka, at 10 o'clock a.
m, WEDNESDAY, MARCH %, 1888. We
trust delegates will not be discouraged
by this change, as there is every pros
pect of a large and enthusiastic Con-
vention, and vigorous effort will be
made to insure its success.
Clubs that have not yet reported
their organization, names of officers,
delegates, ETC., will please send a full
report to J. G. Slonecker at once.
Those attending the Convention can
get return tickets for one-third fare by
bringing certificate from the agent OF
whom they purchased their tickets to
Topeka that they paid full fare COM
ing. Be sure to ask for a certificate
when you purchase your ticket.

Thefollowing letter is q strong endorsement
of the skill OF one Of Emporia's leading black-
smiths, whose work As an expert IN the line
mentioned Is important to every farmer In
this vicinity:
CANTON, His, Feb. 18th. 1883.
We ind in all agricultural communities that
IL is OF great importance to farmers to have
access to competent mechanics, especially
blacksmiths who are experts at adjusting and
reDairtng machinery, and especially ploWs.
These tools require the most scientific work to
adjust them properly, either in sharpening
repairing and setting, after anything has
gone wrong with them. and from our years OF
experience and knowledge Of VIM. Longs
workmanship, We would most heartily recon-
mend him IS expert on ploWs- Respect

FOURTEEN returned Disguised Cali
fornians got of the eastern bound
Santa Fe train last evening. They
were mostly from Breckenridge and
Shelby counties, Kentucky. and have
spent the winter in Southern Cali
fOrnia. Twelve of the fourteen had
not had days work during their stay
there. They were mostly skilled
mechanics. They said California was
overrun with all classes of mechanics,
and men who were working for one
dollar a day, when they had been
getting three dollars in their old homes.
They were mostly married men, having
families in Kentucky. Hutchinson
was their first stop since leaving San
Diego, it being the only city in the
west that they had heard of, their
being large number still left behind
who are coming here as soon as they are
financially able. They will remain
here for few days at least and look
over the prospects for permanently
locating here. They want work and
think Hutchinson, from the reputation
she has gained abroad, will surely be
able to give it to the thousands this
sprlng.-Hutchinson News.

DON'T you KNOW" said the free
trader to the farmer, that you pay the
tariff? Don't you know that, as Presi-
dent Cleveland said in his message, the
cost Of every article you buy is en-
HANGED by precisely the amount of the
tariff there is upon it?'' The farmer
didn't know it, but it set him to think
ing. He had just bought his wife a
calico dress, enyards, for which he
paid fifty cents, and when he found
that there was tariff of five cents a
yard on calico, he saw very plainly that
instead of payingfifty cents for that
calico ne ought to have got it for moth
ing. The ''robber tariff had stolen
fifty cents from him on a fifty cent
dress. News.

To THE CITY COUNCIL: Your commit

PLANS are now, thus early, being
outlined for taking the next or elev-
enth census of the Nation. In the
new plans it is sought to remedy the
shortcomings and errors of the
methods employed in 1880. That CEN
sus was more complete than any previ-
GUS one, but the work was so much
greater than the sum available to pay
for it that its day of greatest use was
over before it was put in serviceable
shape. General Francis Walker, who
was superintendent of the last census,
advocates the collection of the statis-
tics two years hence by the National
Bureau of Statistics, of which Carroll
D. Wright is at present chief.
He also suggests that the sta
tistics of population be taken by one
set of enumerators and published as
early as possible. There is a dispo-
sition to make the census of 1890 even
more complete than the one of 1880.

The men who abandoned the Republican
party In 1884 and continue adhere to the
Democratic party have defeated not only The
cause Of honest government, OF sound finance
OF freedom and purity OF ballot. but especially
have deserted the cause Of reform In the Civil
Service. We win not fail to leep our pledges
because they have broken theirs, or because
their candidate has broken his. We therefore
repeat our declaration OF 1884, to-wit: The :
form of the Civil Service auspiciously be-
gun under the Republican Adminis.ra-
tons, should be completed by the further ex-
tension OF the reform system already estab-
hshed by law to all the grades Of the service to
which 1t is applicable. The spirit and purpose
OF the reform should be observed in all execu-
tive appointments and all laws at variance
with the object OF affecting existing reform
legislation, should be repealed 70 the end that
dangers to free institutions which Turk in the
power OF official patronage may be wisely and
effectively avoided
The gratitude Of the Nation to the defenders
OF the Union can not be measured by laws
The legislation OF Congress should conform to
the pledges made oy loyal people and be so
enlarged and extended as to provide against
the possibility that any man who honorably
wore the Federal uniform shall become an
inmate Of an almshouse or dependent upon
private charity. In the presence of an
overhowing treasury it would be public
scandal to do less for those whose valorous
services preserved the Government. We de-
nounce the hostile spirit shown by President
Cleveland in his numerous vetOes OF measures
for pension relief and the action OF the Demo
cratic House OF Representatives in refusing
even consideration Of general pension iegisla-
tion
In support Of the principles here with enunci
ated we invite the cooperation of patriotic men
OF all parties and especially Of all workingmcn
free trade policy Of the present Administration.
When the reading of the report had been
completed Mr.. Marine, of Maryland, moved
that it be adopted by rising vote.
Mr.. H0rr, of Michigan. on behalf of his
State delegation seconded the motion and
demanded the previous question. The pre-
vious question having been ordered. the
report Of the committee was adopted unan-
imously by standing vote amid great en-
thusiasm.
NOMINATIONS MADE.
The chairman stated that the next order
OF business was the calling of States for
the presentation Of the names of nominees
for the Presidency.
Alabama and Arkansas were called with
out response. When California was called,
DR.. Raymond said that the California del
