no serious difficulty in raising funds for
the early completion of their line of road
across the state of Ohio, eastward to the
Pennsylvania line, near Youngstown,
and westward through Indiana as far
as Fort Wayne.
1t is contemplated that this line of
road shall form part of the long pro-
jected American Midland railway from
New York to Chicago, on or near the
fOrty-first parallel, and on which much
work has been done in various places.
And until such through connection shall
be completed the New York. MahOning

There are indications that the Hi

very little talking, claiming nothing but
Michigan. but are confident of large
number of votes from various parts of

storm of denunciation which came from
Republican as well as Democratic
sources upon the devoted head of
the gossiper who insinuated the
existence of unpleasant relations be-
tween the president and his wife.
This declaration, emphatic and I'M
mlstakable, is gratifying evil
dence of the publication of political
methods which has been going on since
the last campaign. 1t is kind of
progress that is as creditable to the ma
ton as the slanderous exhibitions of the
last campaign were discreditable- The
argument personal is always question
able. When it degenerates into SLAM
derous vituperation it is despicable.
Therefore, whatever the outcome of
the present campaign-and Democrats
have no doubt at all as to what that will
be-the country can congratulate itself
upon the fact that it will have been
reached after dignified, if not heated,
discussion, entirely creditable to the
people, and IN which SANDER has not
been allowed to have place.

BUFFALO, n. Y, June 12-The
twelfth annual convention of the Mill
ers' National association was convened
IN Music hall at IL o'clock this morning
by Acting PresidentSeybt, of Highland,
Ill. About 200 delegates were in at
tendance and were welcomed by Mayor
Becker, who extended the freedom of

read his annual report, which showed
the association was III excellent finan-
cial circumstances.
Mr.. S. L. K. Prime read a paper on
1.-THE Crop Situation of 1885" Mr..
Prime summed up his paper as follows:
When the winter wheat crop is fail
ure, the spring wheat crop is doing
fairly well; in fact, very much better
than we had any reason to hope
for thirty days ago. The oat crop to-
day gives promise of an abundant yield,
except in very few limited areas,
which cannot cut any figure when we
come to measure up the crop as whole.
1t will come at time, too, when it will
add greatly to the financial benefit
of the producer, and give him what he
needs so much at present-feed for his
teams and money for his pocket. l Gang
not take hopeful outlook with regard
to the corn crop. If we had a good
stand the condition and future
prospect would not be as dis
couraging as they appear to
me now. l think the country has not
been as thoroughly cleaned up of all its
surplus of spring wheat, winter
wheat, corn and oats as it is to-day. My
sympathies are very largely with the
producers and those who convert
his product into food. I want to see
each class well paid for its labor, and at
the same time | want this season to see
the country blessed with bounteOus
crops. But in 1888 look for neither a
feast nor famine" A spirited dis
cuSSiOn enSued.

New YORK, June 12.-Tammany held
large meeting in the Academy of Mu-
sic tonight to ratify the action of the
st. Louis convention. The Tammany
lamb, Thurman" which was brought
from the West, all decked in ribbons, was
feature of the meeting. Hon. John
COckrane presided, and there was list
of 200 vice presidents and secretaries.
Resolutions were pissed ratifying the
nominations made and the platform put
forth by the convention. Gov. Hill was
the first speaker. In the course of
his remarks he took occasion to reply to
the remarks of Senator ingalls, in re-
cent speech, in which he said 1.-THE
nomination and election of Grover
Cleveland have made the pretensions of
respectable" Gov. Hill said he
agreed with Mr.. ingalls,. not i'm
the sense meant by the president of the
senate, but in the sense that any man,
however obscure, might aspire to that
lofty position. Intending an insult to the
president and the Democratic party, he
had unconsciously paid a tribute to
both and to American institutions. Con-
corning the platform Gov. Hill said:
''We favor freer trade
BUT NOT FREE TRADE.
The Democratic platform, while not
In every respect as some of us might
desire it, sufficiently expresses the prin-
ciple of tariff reform to which we are all
committed. If thought that our plat
form favored free trade should not be
here tonight. | believe in an intelligent,
fair, and honest revision of the tariff, a
revision in the interest of the people
and not of mOnopolies. We may differ
upon the details of tariff measures, but
we are all agreed upon the main essen
tial principle of our platform, which is
that unnecessary taxation shall cease
and that favOrltiSm shall not be the con-
trolling feature of our tariff legislation"
At another point in his address he said:
But Notwithstanding the attitude of
their representatives in congress and
their persistent opposition to all meas
ureS for relief from taxation, l venture
the prediction, that at the forthcoming
Chicago convention their platform
will explicitly declare in favor
of some revision of the tariff.
They will find that public senti-
ment is too strong to be longer resisted,
and they will endeavor to ride with the
current" He replied to the charge that
MIR. Thurman is too old for the vice

A motion was made by Mr.. Kelley to

speaking to it his time expired, and he
made formal amendment to gain time.
Mr.. Scott, Of Pennsylvania, said that he
was willing to have material amend
ments discussed. but he objected to mo-
tions of dilitory character. MIR. Reid,
of Maine, said that no motions of that
character had been made. There had
never been any attempt to induce men
to talk or to cause unnecessary discus
sion. 1t had always been as spontane-
Gus as the action of the last Pennsyl-

while Mr.. Scott was absent great
courtesy had prevailed in regard to the

had arisen to make request Mr.. Scott

No business man could tell from day to

inadvisable. Mr.. Kelly explained that
his only motive in offering the formal
amendment was patriotic one. He
withdrew it, and his amendment to

jected, and the house at 5 o'clock adj

FIGHTING A NfoNoPoLY.
The Mayor of ST. Louis Takes the
Bell Telephone Company by the
Throat

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 12.--The Bell
Telephone company have taken out Isl
telephones since the recent ordinance
was passed reducing the rental of an
instrument from 500 to $50 per
annum. Mayor Francis order
to commissioner Turner TO take
down poles and wires and preparation
by the authorities to do so brought out a
proposition from the Bell company that
the city make immediate application to
one of the judges of the supreme
court of Missouri for an alter
nate writ of mandamuS, directed
to the Bell company and returnable
June Is, such writ to require the COM
pany to show cause why peremptory
writ should not issue commanding it to
furnish to st. Louis one or
charge not exceeding $50 Der
telephone. To this Mayor Francis
this morning replied, refusing to make
such application with the following
cauStic conclusion:
1.-The ordinance you refer to does not
undertake to compel you to maintain tel
ephOne services. 1t establishes the rate
at which business may be carried on in
this city. Instead of obeying the ordi-
nance, you have seen fit to relinquish
business. That is your affair, not mine.
You are no longer telephone COM
pany. l shall not undertake the
idle task of applying to the courts
to compel you to be a telephone
company. The order heretofore issued
by me for the removal of your poles and
wires from public highways will be ex-
ecuted. Your right to occupy public
property terminated when you ceased to
render the service required by law of
telephone companies.
