Theevenine session. which was called to or der at 7si5, proved a disappointment to those who had gone expecting to see candidate nominated. as tho session passed off without any further attempt at balloting.
 The event of the evening was the formal withdrawal In person of Chauncey M Depcw from the contest In doing so he promised tho hearty support of himself and the Empire State to whoever might Dc the nominee of the con vention.
 General Hastings, Of Pennsylvania, then moved an adjournment until ten o'clock Satur day morning which, q call of the roll by States was adopted by vote Of 535 ayes ts sS2 nays. The Chair therefore declared tho con vention adjourned.
 The audience were not to be disrosed Of thus easily, and at once began shouts for Ingersoll. and that gentleman after some urging, stepped forward and addressed the convention, his re. marks showing him to be in favor of a ticket composed of Gresham and Hawley.
 Mir Charles K. Pope Of St. Louis, the veter. atl actor was then introduced, and recitcd "Sheridan's Ride'' in a manner that clicited en- ! thusiastic applause.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Juno 19.-In the Su- preme Court, yesterday, decision was filed in the case of Fred Harden burg against the St. Paul, Minneapolis 6 Man itoba Railroad Company. Hardenburg some time ago boarded a train at Minne- apolis to go to Wayzata. All the seats on the train were occupied and Harden burg refused to pay his fare unless pro- vided with a seat. The conductor stopped the train and forcibly ejected Harden burg at point five miles from the near est regular station. The Supreme Court holds that plaintiff had a right to refuse to pay, and that he did not therefore be- come trespasser on the train, for pas senger is entitled to seat, also that even when railroad company has the right to eject trespasser from a train, it must be done at a regular station.

The thing has been going on now for several weeks. and 1t is the more odd because several other milk wagons pass that corner every day, and yet the dogs always wait for mine l have never gwen them any en- couragement to accompany me and can't understand 1t, but every morning as my team approaches the junction of the streets named, there they are, waiting oil the sidewalk, and they never fail to fall in and follow me.v

The Result of Merit.

When anything stands test of fifty years among discriminating people, it is pretty good evidence that thsre is merit somewhere. Few, if any, medicines have met with such continued success and pop ularity a5 has marked the progress of BRANDRETH's PILLS, which, after trial of over fifty years, arc conceded to be the safest and most effectual blood purifier, tonic and alterative ever introduced to the public.
 That this is the result of merit, and that BRANpRETH's PILLS perform all that is claimed for them, is exclusively proved by the fact that those who regard them with the greatest favor are those who have used them the longest.
 BRAxDRETn's Pulls are sold in every drug and medicine store, either plain or sugar-coated.

CONVENTION HALL CHICAGO, June 22.--The convention was called to order at a few minutes after eleven o'clock by Chairman Estee. The latter, however, having nearly lost his voice in previous sessions, called on Senator Frank Hiseock, Of New York to preside over the ses- sion, which was formally opened with prayer by Rev. J. H. Worcester, of Chicago
 No time was lost in getting to work, and the call Of States was begun for a ballot for a can didate for President Three ballots were taken, resulting in but little more than a show of hands for "favorite sons" with the excep- ton Of Sherman, who entered the race with 249 votes, and dropped on in the second and third ballots. The convention was evidently not ready for actual business yet, and at the close of the third ballot a motion for recess until ' ?. m, prevailed.
 Below Is a summary of the ballots;

 edEess Of polyRamy.
 The Republican party IS in favor of the use of both gold and silver as money, and condemns the policy Of the Democratic Administration in its efforts to demonetizc silver.
 We demand the reduction ofletter postage to one cent per ounce
 in republic like ours where the citizen Is the sovereign and the ofncial the servant, where no power is exercised save the will of the people, it is important that the sovereig gn--the people should possess intelligence The free school Is the promoter of that intelligence which is to preserve us free Nation; therefore, tho State and Nation, both combined, should support free institutions Of learning sufficient to afford every child growing up in the land the op- portunitY Of good common school education.
 We earnestly recommend that prompt action be taken by Congress in the enactment of such legislation will best assure the rehabilita- ton of our American merchant marine, and we protest against the passage by Congress of a free-ship bill as calculated to work injustice to labor by lesseDing the wages of those engaged in preparing materials as well as those directly employed in our ship yards. We demand appro- priations for the carly rebuilding Of our navy; for the construction of coast Notifications, and modern ordnance and other approved modern means of defense: for the protection Of our defenseless harbors and coasts; for the payment of just pensions to our soldiers; for necessary works of Na- tional importance in the improvement of har- bors and the channels Of internal, ,ooastwise and foreign commerce; for the encouragement Of the shipping interest Of the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific States, as well as for the payment of the maturing public debt. This policy will give employment 10 our labor activity to our yar- ous industries, increase the security Of our country, promote trade, open new and di- rect markets for our produce and cheapen the cost Of transportation. We afirm this to be far better for our country than the Democratic policy-of loaning the Governments moaey without interest to banks"
 The conduct of foreign affairs by the present Administration has been distinguished by It's inefrciency and ocwardice Having withdrawn from the Senate all pending treaties affected by Republican administrations for the removal Of foreign burdens
