DAKOTA REPUBLICANS.
A Large Attendance and Much
Enthusiasm at Jamestown.

Special to the Globe.
JAMESTOWN, OAK, May 16.-Last
nights train brought over $50 of the
most noted politicians in South and
Central Dakota to add to those already
here. Fully two-thirds of the 52S
delegates entitled to admission are
here. Every county in the terri
tory is represented except Buffalo and
Tower. Over 600 people were on the
floor, over 400 of whom were delegates.
Interest in the statehood movement
last night was shown in the ram
South, but to-day has evidently
cooled their ardor, as the
more conservative leaders see the
folly or attempting to crowd down the

been fixed, however, since early this

after a night of diligent caucus

their decision was strongly considered.
The convention was called to order by
Gen. Harrison Allen, who stated
he congratulated the gentlemen be-
fore him OF being members of
the convention which had the
largest representation of any territorial
convention ever held in the United
States. Col. M. NJ. Price, of Sanborn
county, was nominated by Mr.. Me

THE YOUNG MEN.

One thing was particularly observable
in the Republican convention yester-
day. 1t was the presence of the young
men of the party and their activity in
shaping party affairs. In this respect,
at least, their Republican opponents
have set the Democrats an example
worthy of imitation. 1t is an infusion
of young blood that all the political par
ties are needing at this time. The
young men are wanted at the front be-
cause they are more in sympathy with
the progressive ideas of the age than
the old timers, who are still trammeled
by the force of ancient prejudices, and
who do not possess the elasticity to
adapt themselves to the charges which
recent years have produced. There is
no occasion for disearding the services
OF the political fathers. They are
needed. too. Their wisdom and eXpe-
rience will be valuable to their more
youthful associates. But so far as the
active management of politics is con-
cerned, and the shaping of the policy of
parties, the young men hold the win
ming hand,

TEXAS NEW CAPITOL.
1t is Formally Dedicated by the
Governor.

AUSTIN, Tex, May 16.-The third
day of the international and interstate
drill and celebration was given to the
dedication of the magnificent state cap
itol building. The military and civic
demonstration in honor of the event has
never before been equaled in the state.
The ceremonies of the day opened at 10
O'Clock, when the Masonic grand lodge
of Texas took up their position on
the plaza Immediately fronting the
great structure where the dedication
ceremonies were held. At the foot of
Capitol hill Gov. Ross, Gen. Stanley and
Gen. MeXia. of Mexico, in the presence
of over 10000 persons, reviewed the
parade. The pageant was truly mag
nificent. The column was nearly mile
long. GOV. Ross opened the dedica-
ton ceremonies with brief adj
dress. Among the most notable guests
were Gov. HenriQue MeXia, of Mexico;
with brilliant staff. especially dele
gated to represent President Diaz and
the republic of Mexico; Gen. Santos
Buenavidas, representing the governor
of Nuevo Leon; John V. FarWell and
Col. Abner Taylor, of Chicago, repre-
capitol. Judge Alexander W. Terrell,
of Austin, welcomed the guests to the
dedication. He was followed by Col.
Abner Taylor, of Chicago, who spoke
in behalf of himself and the
gentlemen associated with him
in the construction of the
capitol. The address accepting the
building in behalf of the state was made
by Hon. Temple Houston, son of Sam
Houston. The speaker acknowledged
the Indebtedness of the people of Texas

Farwell and his brother. John V. Far

COY. HILLS DEFEAT.

Gov. Hills repulse in the New York
Democratic convention was of his own
seeking. And he deserved it. In at
tempting to elevate himself at the eX-
pense OF his party he only showed him
self to be selfish person who didn't de-
serve the confidence of his political as
sociates. The New York Democrats
had honored Gov HILL in a singular
manner, and sense of gratitude, if no
higher consideration, should have
prompted him to behave more modestIy
than he has been doing. He is not to
be blamed for having ambition, but he
is to be blamed for allowing his ambi-
ton to lead him into the tolls the anti
administration element of his party had
laid for him. The result is that he has
been rebuked in an open and emphatic
manner that must be most notifying to
him and to his friends. and has probably
injured his chances for future political
preferment.

81. l. OulS GlODe-DemOcrat.
A most inhuman act was committed on
the wharf at JeffersOnville this morning.
About six o'clock this morning, Charles
Wurst, who resides in Louisville, and
drives an express wagon, went over ia
that city with load of vegetables. In
going up the levee the horse he was
driving baked. He got down from his
seat and beat the poor brute unmerci-
fully. The treatment made the animal
worse. and he refused to pull at all.
Wurst then took from his pocked piece
of cord. He forced the month of the
animal open and tied il around its
tongue. He then advanced few steps
and commenced pulling with all his
strength, and the tongue was torn from
its mouth by the roots. The inhuman
man picked up the tongue, united
the string and threw the tongue
into the river. A gentleman who hap
pened to be on the river bank saw the
act. and picking up stone, ran down
toward the man for the purpose of Civ
ing him beating. Before he reached
him Wurst took to his heels and fed,
crossing the river by the bridge. The
officers are on the lookout for him. The
horse, after being treated, was taken
back to Louisville to be turned over to
its owner, whose name could not be
learned,

L. +. Fife, a well-known resident or
the East end and son of eX-Sheriff
Fife, was married a few years ago to
Miss Lille Swishelm, niece of the fam
Gus Jane Gray Swishelm. The young
couple lived happily for several years
and there was apparently no cloud on
the horizon of their married life. On
February % Mrs. Fife disappeared and
it was afterwards learned that she and
domestic had taken a train for Chicago
on that evening. The little child of the
young married couple accompanied the
mother on her westward journey. The
husband, it is alleged, on hearing of
the departure of his wife. made fur
Their investigation and learned that 4
man had accompanied the trio to the
train. Mr.. Fife then went to Chicago
and learned that his wife had been there
at the house of a friend, but after re-
naming day or two had returned to
PittSburg. He came back to this city,
but could not find any trace of either
her or his child. He then says that he
learned that the man who had ac-
companied her to the train was VIM.

that by a strategy he learned on last
week that his wife had been correspond
ing with Deshon, who was still IN this
city, while she was in Chicago. He says
he has in his possession nine letters
which she wrote to Deshon, and that he
will use them as evidence in divorce
proceedings.
G. B. DeShon was asked last night by
a reporter of this paper what he thought
of the charges against his son. He re.
piled: Il am utterly astonished, but
do not think my boy is guilty. be.
lieve that his action in the matter was
dictated by desire to see separated

requested him to inform her what her

Why He Vetoed Them.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
1t is apparent that the Republican
editors who so glibly denounce PreSi-
dent Cleveland's vetoes of private pen
sion bills have prepared themselves for
this intellectual exercise by carefully
refraining from reading the veto mess
ages. One of the bills vetoed by the
President was that of a claimant named
BrOkenhard, who was received at draft
rendezvous on the 25th of March, 1865,
and was mustered out with his company
on the 30th of June, 1865, without any
record of disability and without having
performed any service in the field. But
in 1888 he put in claim for pension
on the statement that he had been Sin
jured in his RIBS by three other re-
cruits who were scuffling in room.
The pension bureau rejected the claim
on the ground that ''no injury was in
Cured in the line of duty" This is a
sample of the pension bills sent to the
president for approval. Another bill
proposed to grant pension to Hannah
G. Dewitt. And why was it vetoed?
Because the claimants name was al
ready on the rolls, President Cleveland
having previously signed bill in her
favor. Here, too, we presume, is to be
found another rank instance of Presi-
dent Cleveland's want of sympathy
with the cause of the Union veteran

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.
Platt and Depew Capture the Con.
VentiOn Bodily.

BUFFALO, n. Y, May 16.-The New
York state Republican convention as
sembled here this morning, most of the
delegates having arrived last night. A
lively fight over the nomination of the
four delegates at large to be sent to the
national convention was made. There
was a strong undercurrent of feeling in
favor of Blaine as the presidential can
didate. although few of the delegates
appear to be inclined to give decisive
expression of their views i'll this direc-
ton. Senator Tom Platt appears to be
running the convention, and if he can
have his way, tO-day'S choice will in

OMAHA, Neb., May 16.-When the
delegates to yesterdays Republican
state convention arose this morning and
read the daily papers they were mad.
Mad did not commence to express their
feelings. They were ready to go on the
warpath. When the platform had been
read and acted upon it was put in type
and proof sheets given to the Herald
and Bee. Somebody made horrible
blunder. or some Democratic wag
played practical joke, for the platform
appeared in all the papers this morn
ing with the following three planks
of the Democratic platform adopted
at their convention two weeks ago:
sympathy for the WrOnged and OPP
pressed of every land is avowed, and at
this crisis in the affairs of the people of
Ireland hearty encouragement is eX-
pressed to them in their struggle for
liberty and self government. Liberal
pensions to disabled and needy yeter-
ans of the Union army are RECOMMENDED
to congress. But jobbery and favorit-
ism, such as were exposed by President
Cleveland's veto measures, are en-
phatically condemned. For the best
interests of all the people of the United
States and their more harmonious
cementing into fraternal nation, sec
tional issues and the keeping alive of
the hatreds of the late civil war are de-
nounced. How the egregrious blum
der occurred has not as yet been eX-
planned, although n committee has been

Republican party. Though the most

Turn on Another Screw.

Atlanta Constitution.
When George Rice, a rival of the
Standard Oil company in refining coal
oil, was able to ship barrel of oil over
the Louisville & Nashville railroad at
80 cents a barrel, while the Standard
Oil company was only paying Is cents,
the railroad officials received this tele-
gram from an agent of the Standard:
Turn on another screw"
This advice was promptly followed.
This screw was turned, and George
Rice was compelled to pay fifty cents
per barrel. Just how much of this in
creased rate the Standard Oil company
got is not known, but whether 1t got
much or little. the turn of the screw
amoudted to robbery. The increased
charge was made, not for the benefit of
the public or the railroad, but for the
benefit of powerful organization.
