HARRISON AND NORTON.

at noon Monday, and happily, In
the nomination of Gen. Benjamin
Harrison, of Indiana, as the candi-
date for President. Notwithstand-
ing the protracted session and sharp
rivalry between the friends Of can
didates, good feeling prevailed
throughout, and no personal bitter
ness was aroused. All retire to
their homes happy and equipped
with a determination to see that the
ticket wins.
From the organization of the
party Gen. Harrison has been an
earnest and CONSTANT Republican.
He took his place in it's ranks when
its fortunes were doubtful, and it
seemed to be in a hopeless minority
in his own state. When the rebel
lion broke out, he promptly enlisted
among the defenders of the Union,
and risked his life to uphold the
supremacy Of it's flag. He has had
large experience and training in
public life. lie has made his way
in the world, not by the prestige of
an illustrious ancestry, but by the
force of his own superior talents.
AT the bar and in the Senate, he
has given proof of distinguished
ability. He ranks as the foremost
member Of his profession in Indiana.
He is not q "barrel" candidate. No
apologies for or elaborate defences
of his past life will be required of
his supporters. His record is a
clean and honorable one. There is
no stain upon his public or private
character With such a candidate,
the Republican party can make a
compaign based upon principles of
public policy and enter upon it
with enthusiasm and the confidence
Of victory.
The American people judge men
by what they are and not by what
their ancestors have done, but it
will be no objection to Gen. liar.
rison that he comes of sturdy and
honorable stock, aud that TIE blood
of the English Republicans of the
commonwealth period flows in his
veins. His grandfather was presi-
dent of the United States, his great
grandfather was a signer of the
Declaration Of Independence, and a
vet remotcr ancestor was one of
those stern Republican judges, who

The Presidents 'sPithy" Talk.

1t appears that since President
Cleveland's denomination at st,
Louis he has spoken on the one idea
which appears to have possession of
his mind. A free-uade mugwump
newspaper, at least, quotes him as
follows: "The country will not
much longer endure the excessive
system Of taxation that creates such
a dangerous surplus in the Treasury,
and the good sense of the people de-
mands that taxes upon necessaries
shall be the first to be reduced. The
Republicans, forced to do something,
may seek to abolish the internal
revenue taxes, but the people viii

ABAD CASE OF FLUX CURED

My little boy about eight months
old was taken with tiux. After sew
eral days we commenced giving
Chamberlain's collie, cholera and
diarrhoea remedy according to di-
rections. We were very uneasy
about the child and sent for a physi-
clan. l told him what we had been
doing and showed him the medi-
cine. He examined it and told us
the best thing we could do was to
go ahead and give the remedy. We
used about half of a small bottle
and cured the child, although the
child was so low that he had no use
of himself. We thought so much of
your remedy that we would let no
one else have it, l told my wife a
few days ago that ! must write and
tell you what your medicine has
done. G. w. Lugar, Zion's Hill,

have carried the names of the next
President and Vice President of the
United States from one end of the
country to the other.
Mr.. MILLS, the chief exponent of
free-trade in Congress, declares that
the Republican platform "commits
the party to free whiskey and free
trade in whiskey and against any
popular reduction in the customs
duties for the benefit of the people"
A candid person reading the plat
form even with magnifying glasses
will fail to see anything in it justi-
flying this declaration. 1t favors
the repeal of the internal revenue
tax on whiskey used in the arts and
for mechanical purposes, and says
nothing that even squints at "free
trade in whiskey," and as regards a
production of the customs duties"
the platform is so clear and explicit
in its deliverance that no man who
cen read the English language can
misapprehend its meaning. But, of
codrse, the free traders do not like
the Republican platform; it was not
framed to suit them, but, son the
contrary, quite the reverse"
Look at him. Look him right in

Look at his record. Carefully ex-
anime the platform he stands upon.
You find no flaws in the mans
character. You find plain, manly,
straightforward platform. That is
our candidate and he will be elected.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
The River aud Harbor Bill .Considered In
Committee.

The River aud Harbor Bill Considered In
Committee.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 21.-Imme-
diately after the reading Of the Journal o
contest for consideration arose between the
special order, the Homestead bill, and the
River and Harbor bill. An attempt was
made to arrive at an amicsble arrange
ment, whereby the consideration OF the
special order should be postponed until
Nav 1st, but Mr.. Breckenridge, of Ken
lucky, fearing that the Tariff bill might
be interfered with, interposed an objection.
Finally the House refused-yeas 50,
nays 116 to consider the special order and
the House went into Committee CT the
Whole, (Mr. Mcmillan, of Tennessee, in
the Chair on the River and Harbor bill.
Mr.. Golf, of West Virginia, expressed
his belief in the system Of internal I'M.
proyements. He was in favor Of liberal
appropriations for carrying on that sys-
tenn by which the commerce Of the coun-
try had been built up and extended and
the interests of the country had been bene-
fitted.
Mr.. Randall, Of Pennsylvanis, offered
an amendment appropriatiDg $3.50, 600 for
the improvement Of the harbor of Phila-
delphia and for the removal Of Smith's,
Windmill and Petty's Islands or such
parts Of them as may be necessary; pro-
vided that no part of this sum shall be ex-
pended until the title TO the land shall be
vested in the United States free Of charge.
Mr.. Randall said that the warrant for the
amendment grew out of q law authorizing
a survey having for its object the removal
of distractions in the harbor between
Philadelphia and Camden. The commit.
tee then rose and the House adjourned.

CARTHAGE, Ill, April 2l.-John s. De-
lano, Of La Harpe, who was arrested on
charges of bigamy, as noted yesterday,

then married Mary Avery, a widow at

Boscobel, Wis during the Civil war, and
she died few months afterward. His
next victim was Ellen Battle, Of Clair.
mount, IA, whom he deserted in 1867.
He married Elizabeth Fritz st Boscobel,
Wis, and deserted her. He then married
Mary Holmes, residence unknown, and
she met the came tate.
On February II, 1871, he married Mrs.
Maria Fields at Iron Hill, Iowa. They

thought Delano was murdered by man
named Lyman Kellogg. He was assaulted
by such a person and was not killed.

PUGILISM.
PROMINENT WESTON GEIYLEIRI
Indulge in Fisicutf for Blood and
Honox

Specia, Ts,erdm 10 ne Sunday. Register.
WESTON, W. VA, April Alt Is SAID
that Weston can produce more sensations
to the square inch than any other town OF
its size in the State. This trite saying has
been verified several times within the past
year. This afternoon DIR. II. s. Holt was
standing in front of Anderson's shoe store
when W. W. Brannon, the Mayor Of West
on, came up and without saying . word at-
lacked him. A few blows passed between
them and they clinched. Ghey soon found
themselves down in the middle Of the
street, with large crowd around them,
some trying to part them and the Others
were for letting them fight il out After
some two or thIee minutes they succeeded
in parting them without any serious result
except few bruises.
The direct cause Of the trouble Is not
known, but it is supposed that Mr.. Bran
non took exceptions to an article. which
appeared in the Weston Republican, OF
which DIR. Holt is editor, but it is known
that an old feud exists between them and
that this is the third time they have had
encounters. Not n word has passed between
them for some time. A brother-in-law Of
Brannon's interfered, and il 10 said struck
Holt one or two severe blows. No arrests
were made, but Councilmen Newton and
O'Hara tried the case and fined the Mayor
ten dollars and costs.

THE SURPLUS
WILL NOT FIGURE IN THE B. & 0.
The Road Put Upon q SOupdsr Financial
Basis.

BALTIMORE, April 2i.-Under the plan
of B. & o. reorganization the big item
which, under the Garrett management,
was carried in the reports as surplus, "
when strictly it was nothing Of the sort,
will now be distributed under the heads OF
various investments"
Banker Hambleton's circular foT this
week issued today, says; The new man
agement of the Baltimore and Ohio Com
pany are evidently determined to conduct
the affairs of the company upon business
principles, and, as beginning, propose to
ind out exactly the true financial and
physical condition of the company. To
this end q committee Of Investigation mas
been appointed and the hold'rs OF the
securities of the company will in due time
be informed of the result Of the proposed
investigation"
The statements Of President Spencer are
much more satisfactory than former re-
ports, but there are many things which are
susceptible Of further explanation. The
fact that the Drexel- Morgan syndicate was
willing to buy $1,000, coo general mort
gage bonds, subject to all prior liens, Is In
itself sufficient evidence of the ability OF
the Company to meet all obligations. The
decrease OF 1928, QUO in earnings, as COM
pared with the corresponding six months
of last year, IA mainly attributal to in
creased expenditures for permanent better
ments. which, il seems, for the first time
are charged to the expense account, where
they properly belong. It is proposed IN
the future to make monthly statement OF
earniugs and expenses.
President Spencer, when asked II he had
noticed the recent purchase OF property IN
Philadelphia for an elevated railroad into
that city and . station at Market and
Broad streets, which would give con-
yenient connection foE the B. q D said
that he knew the Reading Terminal Com
many had made such arrangements for the
Philadelphia and Reading Company, and
tbsy would prove advantageous to the pas
senYsr part Of the B. x o., when the con-
tract goes into effect, the freight part now
being observed. He had not learned Of
any disposition By the Senate Committee
Of the proposed change in the Staten Islend
bridge, ~ provided by Senator MePner,
sons bill. Heexpected thatSenatorEVart
bill, extending the time for completing tie
bridge, would be passed, as there had beer
considerable delay for which the company
was not responsible, and he anticipated
that there would be no change in the plsns
a. more than BALI the cost of the bridge
has been expended.

At REST.
SIMPLE FUNERAL SERVICES
Over the Remains Of Roscoe ConkIing al
Utica.

Utica, N. Y, April 21.--The day on
which the citizens of Utica are bidding
farewell to all that Is mortal Of Roscoe
Conkling opened with clouds threatening
rain.
The draped city, notwithstanding the
presence Of many strangers, exhibited less
than its usual air, for business was sus-
pended during the entire day in many
establishments and at commercial houses
during the hours devoted to the funeral
and viewing of the remains.
The principal delegations from abroad
arrived during the night, but the trains Of
the morning brought throngs of official
and unofficial friends from all parts of the
nation.
The remains of Mr.. Conkling lay in state
from II to O'Clock. Before noon very
large number Of the friends of the deceas-
ed had assembled in the vicinity of the
house, and during the following hour q
continuous stream of people passed into
the residence TO take last look at the
the features of the dead.
The floral tributes were numerous and Of
unusual magnificence. Conspicuous among
them was q large wreath Of Gala lilies in
tertwined with blue immortelles, attached
to which was plain white card bearing
the words "The President"
At the head of the casket stood Hon.
P. F. Bulger. of this city, while at the foot
were two detectives from the local force.
Daring the hour allowed for viewing the
remains the grounds and street were
thronged with people, from the dignitary
to the shop girl. and some idea of the
throng may be gathered from the fact that
during that time the people, four or five
abreast, passed through the hall at the
rate of three and a half miles an hour.
At two o'clock Rev. DIR. Goodrich made
brief prayer in the presence of the fam
lily and the immediate friends, and then
the march TO the church was then taken
up. The church, which was draped in
black, was oyer-crowded and surrounded
by vast throng. The services were ex-
tremely simple and plain, consisting en-
tirely of the forms laid down in the ritual
Of the Episcopal Church, including the
lOmIulttdi bcENtCo usuaiiy oa'u W VIC S'"'''
DR.. Goodrich officiated. A male quartette
sang the hymn, "Abide With Me" my
God, My Father" the burial chant and
the occasional hymn, "Now the Laborer's
Task is Ger" The pail bearers wers:
VIM. H. Comstock, W. II. Watson,
Francis Herman, II. d. Pixley, Theodore
Pomeroy, Vim. Blake. p. V. Rogers, Z.
p. Bailey and G. M. Dennison.
After the service at the church the re-
mains were escorted to Forest Hill Gene
terry and placed in the receiving vault,
none but the family and relatives sccom-
panying them.
The remains will be inferred in lot
purchased by Mr.. ConkliDg, in which al
ready lie the remains Of his sister, Miss
Mary CoDkling, who died in April, 1885.
The bar of Oneida county held q meet
ing this morning and passed appropriate
resolutions on the death Of Mr.. Conkling.
