The following telegram from Canton
covers the closing sessions OF the Glass
workers Union:
The last important action OF the Flint
Glass Workers Convention, before adj
iournment last night, was the appoint
ment of committee Of six, who left last
evening!for Pittsburgh, where they will
meet tomorrow committee OF manufac'
turers OF prescription ware, and present
to them the new scale Of prices adopted
and adjust several matters in dispute.
The present officers were reelected as
follows: President and Treasurer, W. j.
Smith, Pittsburgh Vice President, John
+. Hinckley, Philadelphia; Secretary,
w. ]. Dillon, Pittsburgh. The conven-
ton adjourned to meet next July, in
Bellaire, 0. l.,
A telegram from Pittsburgh, received
last night, says: The committees of the
Flint Glass Workers Union and manu-.
facturers began u conference to-day on
the scale OF wages for next year.
The prescription scale was first taken
after being presented by the workers,
who ask for uniformity in some matters
and n slight advance in others. The
progress made at the forenoon session
was satisfactory and several points were
agreed upon establishing uniformity Of
wages. The conference was continued
this afternoon, and it may take several
days before the list is gone over:
After the prescription scale has been
disposed Of the iron mold, pressed and
shade wares will be considered.

The following from the Boston Herald
OF July ii will be encouraging news to
the friends OF the South Pennsylvania
& Ohio Railroad, rs the President OF the
Cleveland & Canton Railroad, II. A.
Blood, is also President OF the South
Pennsylvania & Ohio Railroad, and the
two have large interests in common:
"Cleveland and Canton preferred rose
81 to 500 and common 2 to 8. The rise
was on the successful placing OF 81, 000,-
600 OF the new IS with Messrs. Irving
A. Evans & Co. and Messrs. S. V. White
& Co. The company receives the pro-
cceds, and will contract for the rails TO
widen the gauge to the standard at once.
The Cleveland & Canton road will be Of
standard gauge by September |. The
Company has now sold 81, 800, 900 OF the
$2,O00,0OO OF bonds authorized. The
unsold balance will probably be sutti-
cient to take up all OF the old bonds
and notes, leaving the company with no
debt but S2,0OO,00O 5s, and the road has
earned the interest on that amount as a
narrow gauge property"

At GAINESVILLE - The game between
GAINESVILLE and Sandusky was rattler.
Only one OF the visitors reached second
base, and their only hit was made in the
ninth inning after two men were out.
Routclifie, who made the hit, was thrown
out at second, and the only hope the
visitors had at any time during the game
was frustrated. Zanesville's ten hits
were scattered through the nine innings
so they amounted to but little. Two OF
them were in the seventh, yielding one
run. Duck had his thumb badly
knocked out OF place by n hot liner in
the fourth, and Gumbert had to finish
for him. The score:

Awora to Bln Chandler.
Nashville Amer1cail


Bill Chandler, who is trying to fill one OF
the New Hampshire chairs as United States
Senator, is succeeding admirably in making
. conspicuous and picturesque donkey OF
himself. Mr.. Chandeliers whole career as
public man has been of suspicious char
acter, bat until he got into the Senate no
one had accused him of being an idiot. dis
new dignity seems to have given him soft
euing of the brain, as his whole attention
has been turned to maligning and casting
slurs upon the people of the South. de
took another step on this con-
temptible road yesterday when
he offered q resolution in connection with
the credentials of Senator Gibson, of Lou
isiana, in which he asks for committee
to ascertain whether louisiana is under
Republican form Of government. Mr..
Chandler ought to take warning from the
fate of the Republican members in the
House, who insisted on investigating the
administration of the Government Print
ing Office; the result being that enough
Republican rascslity to swamp even q
more inflated concern than the G. D. r.
has been unearthed. BY all means lei
Mr.. Chandler have his investigation, but
let it 90 back far enough to compare the
Louisiana of to day with the Louisiana Of
the Warmoth- ellogg- Packard gang.

Alger Has the Call.

Tom Platt and the other Republican
leaders who favor campaign with plenty
of money in it are talking very decidedly
in favor of Alger as the most suitable Re
publican candidate. 1t has been given out
that Alger values the honor of being Pres
ident Of the United States at not less thar
five millions. Such q statement is enough
to warm the cookies of the average heel
er's heart to summer temperature. Sher
man has been to see Platt about it, but h
has not been able to offer any sach con
vincing reason in favor of his own candi
Gacy, and it is said that his trip to New
York has not advanced his Presidential
boom bit. On the money question Algel
has the call at present, and the boys ar;
disposed to consider him the most ayaila
bic candidate until somebody is found
whose pile is bigger and who is more will
ing to spend it.

A MUGwUNIP VIEW.

The Boston Herald, the king bee of the
Mugwump hive, takes to task cOrrespon,
dent who attempts to answer for the IndC.
pendents the question whether they shall
support Mr.. CLEVELAND this year. The
Herald goes into the why's and wherefors
of the Independent exodus to the Demo,
Gratis, declaring it was on other grounds
besides civil service reform that they sup,
ported Mr.. CLEyELAND-in brief, the
purity ofthe Democratic candidate They
have seen no cause TO regret This step, u
say the Herald. MANY of them,
in view of the alternative, would have
taken 1T even had the prospect been less
favorable than it was. But, in point Of
fact, civil service has gained more under
Mr.. CLEvELAND's election than it has al
any time since President JACKSON intro
dueed the spoils system. 1t has not gained
all that il should have gained. Ii has not
gained all that President CLEVELAND,
after he was chosen President, gave Us q
right to believe that it would gain. But
it has gained more than there is reason to
believe that it would have gained had his
opponent been chosen; it has gained enough
to Justify the Independents in the course
they took, remembering always that it was
an alternative course in giving him their
snhrages. This is 3 sufficient answer to
those people who are disposed to reproach
the Independents because President
CLEVELAND has not done better in this re-
speet."
The real question in this case, continues
the Herald, is not whether Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND has been the ideal President as re-
CARDS civil services reform, butif his cleo
ton was more creditable to the country
and better in its results than would have
been the election Of his opponent. And
the Herald assures its captious correspond
ent that the Independents are entirely
satisfied on both these points. Outside Of
that humbug, civil service reform, the
Democratic administration has been, in
the words of the Herald, ''all that was de-
sired-prudent, conservative, patriotic,
and in its treatment Of the business inter
esls of the country one of the most sngac-
ious and wise administrations the country
has ever had. While these have been its
distinguishing qualities, those Of the Re
publieans who have opposed it have been
the reverse-Oppressive in taxation of the
people, prOdigsl in attempts at sxpeNdi-
ture to degree Of recklessness without
precedent in the history of the country,
and almost without conception in the
minds of men,"
