FIRST BALLOT.

The result was received with no sign
from the convention as to what impress
sion had been made.
Before the second ballot was taken Mr..
Smith, of Pennsylvania, who had yester-
day nominated Edward Filter, withdrew
his name. This episode made no stir
whatever in the convention, and the with
drawal was made in so low tone of voice
that it was not known Filter was out OF
the race until the chair made the an
nouncement himself. The second ballot
was then proceeded with. During the
announcement of the votes the convention
was more sedate than it had been any
time during its sessions. The spectators

and delegates we're too much interested in
noticing the changes from the previous
ballot TO make a noise or indulge in any
Senator Qday had evil
IDENTIFY done good work among the Penn
sylyania delegates last night. Sherman
gained tweniy-four votes from that state,
most of them being the votes which, on
the first ballot, had been cast for Filter.
This was the most important event of the
ballot. and considerably elated the Sher-
man men, who had been disappointed in
the vote for their favorite on the first
b hot. The second was as follows:

SECOND BALLOT.

The result was disappointing to the
Sherman people, who had hoped that
the increased vote for him from Pennsyi-
vania would put him Op to nearly 300 votes
but he lost other places, and the anti
Sherman combination began to claim
that the Ohio senator's vote would go to
pieces ia few ballots.
As the vote on the third ballot pro-
ceeded there was little change in the
sherman vote, which everybody was
watching, and there are notable changes
in voting for other candidates. California
continued to cast her solid vote for Blaine,
ana Massachusetts still cast her vote
among nearly all the candidates. Ores
hams vote increased, but not materially.
When Pennsylvania was reached Sena-
tor Quay announced the vote of the
state, casting 53 votes for Sherman as be-
fore, the othe ten scattering. Johnston
demands a poll of the delegation which
proceeded amid much confusion. The
poll did not effect the result as announced
by Senator Quay, and the ballot was pro-
ceeded with as usual. When Virginia was
reached the demand was made that the
delegation be polled. General Fair
childs, of Wisconsin, made the point of
order that the call of the pol could not
le made uutl the vote h'd been an
nouuced and objection was made to its
corrsctaess.
Mr.. Wise arose and explained that the
vi ginia delegation had been unable to
get together and select chairman to
speak for the delegation. 1t had been,
therefore, agreed that whenever the state
was relched the delegation be po!led. He
asked for unanimous consent that this
should be the practice. Consent was
given. The result of the ballot was as
follows:

The cost of preserving given crop, as

under absolute free trade Il am very
sure that would not have to stop,
but would rather do so than have the
community trxed to support me),
while it is certain that with a lower
tariff the farmers supplies might be
more cheaply obtained.
=" In short, no benefit is derived by
the farmer from the protective system
it is, however, very certain that the
increased price he has TO pay for sup
plies impoyerishcs him and makes the
millionaire. If wool was placed on
the free list it would simply be what
the wool growing States desire. The
older States are growing less and less
dependent upon wool, but farmers
everywhere suffer more from increased
cost Of clothing than they wonld gain
by tariff on wool, and reduction of
tariff, therefore, would prove benefit
to the farming community
Although the prices of agricultur-
al implements are enhanced by the
tariff, the implement makers suffer by
the present war tariff system in several
ways. He is at disadvantage in the
export Of his wares he is at increased
expense for his raw material. His
sales are diminished, aud the high
tariff, bearing particularly hard upon
his customers, the farming community,
he suffers with them. Were the Pres
ident's policy carried out he would,
while able to sell his implements at
lower prices, make more of them and
make better profits upon his business.
" Protection is the father of mil
lionaires and paupers, and the question
simply is, shall we continue thus to
tax labor and trade to fill the already
overfowlng treasury vaults and pock-
cts of the millionaire, with certain
following of hard times and disastrous
commercial reverses? 1t should seem
that every one must know by this time
how tariffs arc made-lobbied through
Congress by those who expect to reap
the eneft Protection is asked for
infant industries, but the larger they
grow the more is demanded 1t is
cternally dinned into the ears of the
workingman that all this is done in
his interest. Who is to teach him the
truth that protection is always a tax
upon labor, not upon capital? The
duty must fall, indirectly or directly,
on the Congressman
d" As to President Cleveland, his
standard of duty lifts him above parti-
sanship. like his administration we'll
enough to continue it. He has a
place in the hearts of the people such
as never could have been acquired by
any amount ofscheming,"

UNTIL now The ARGUS has RETAINED
from publishing the list of g foppers
from the Republican to the Democratic
party, but the following letter from
one of the best known men in this
country, and life long Republican,
is so true that we reprint it for the
benefit of the farmers-the very pco-
pie Mr. Farquhar is dependent upon:
York, Pa, August Conc of the
largest manufacturing establishments
in Pennsylvania is that of A. b. Far
quhar, of this place, who makes agri-
cultural implements. He was warm
personal friend of Garfield, and only
last week pronounced for Cleveland.
In an interview to-day he said: A." /

can because believed that every man,

black, had an equal right to liberty
and the untrammeled pursuit of hap

can presidents. The Republican party
has deserted the principles of its noble
founders and now stands for the policy
of shackling trade and taxing labor to
give bountios to favored classes. 1t
has become the party Of Capitalization
and monopoly, imagining the govern
ment was instituted for its benefit,
while ], in common with its former
great lights, Lincoln, Chase and
mcCulloch, believe in the economic
principles Of Jefferson No old-time
Republican owes apology for adyo-
eating tariff reform.

party called Republican so long as
believed the national credit Cmore inn

safer in it's hands. But President
Cleycland's administration has proved
there is no difference between the par
ties in this respect, and his tariff re-
form policy is certainly in the direction
Of national progress. The effect Of
high tariff rates is 10 encourage monoT

ginning to understand tbs very well

IsN'T it little strange that the Re-
publican bosses will not distribute the
Presidents tariff message and the
Mills bill among the Republican vo-
tiers Z They send up an occasional
prayer that if every voter in the United
States could get copies of the Prcsi-
dents message and the Mills bill and
read them. it would make thousands Of
votes for the Republican party. For
from it. 1t would have just the oppo-
site result, and the Republican mana
gers know it; and it is safe to assume
that no Republican will get to read the
Presidents message or the Mills bill
unless it is sent to him by Democrat.
