Conventions are becoming great frolic
Grave, level-headed men seem to lose
their wits when they meet in convention.
They go into a "spasm" at the mention OF
a name. They mount chairs, wave ban
ners wildly and finally gather in groups
around some particular state banner. En-
thusiasm is contagious and they can't help

THE STATES.

Inc doubt III States in the coming
election are conceded to be Connecticut
Indiana, New Jersey and New York
Some enthusiastic Democrats also place
California az, 4 Nevada in the doubtful
column: but tho. . who do this are ig-
norant Of lhepoli.ic, 'lsentimeatin those
States. As to Negad,, 1t is practically
without sentiment OF its ON 1t gets
sill its cues and cash from California.
San Francisco controls the pelltics Of
Nevada absolutely. In our opinion
California i, hopelsssly Republican, It
has Republican majority 0rai1arilu
and the iss11As Thu ...,
1t, as the State is in favor of protection.
me really doubtful States, therefore,
are tic four first named. 1t is there.
fore interesting to know how these
have gone IN late Presidential elections.
In 1876 Connecticut was Democratic, in
1850 Republican, IN 1881 Democratic.
The record is precisely the same as re
CARDS Indiana. New Jersey has been
Democratic in the last three Presiden-
tial elections; indeed, with one excep-
ton, 1872, the State has given her cleo =
toral vote to the Democratic nominees
since 1850. New York did as Connect
cut and Indiana, going Democratic in
1876 and 1884, and Republican in 1880.
1t will thus be seen that the tendency
in all the doubtful States is toward De
mocracy, and also that those States in
Variably run together.
The States that have been uniformly
Democratic in the past three elections
are Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware.
Florida, Counted for Hayes in 1870,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Counted
for Hayes in 1876, Maryland, Missis-
sippi, Missouri, New Jersey, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Counted for
Hayes in 1850, Tennessee, Texas, West
Virginia and Virginia. The States that
wers uniformly Republican in those
elections were Colorado, Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts,, Michi-
gan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hamp
shire, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin |
The popular vote also shows the DRIFT |
of public opinion in the matter of poll
tics. Ia 1876, Tilden's popular ma iority |
was $50 1000; in 1880, Garfeld's majority |
over Hancock was only 1000; IN 1884 |
Cleveland had a popular majority Of
p 600. For the last three elections
here has been steady decrease IN the
vo:e as compared with the
;otal vote, Indicating early dissolution
Ind decay.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
Cutting Rates Still Continues Undated
De Bow Dead.

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-TOday's rate cutting
Chicago & Northwestern reducing the
rates from Chicago to Duluth, Ashland
and all Superior ports to the same basis as
the cut rates made between Chicago and
St. Paul. This move was in retaliation
against the Wisconsin Central for reduc
ing rates to Duluth, as competing lines
thought it possible to keep reductions out
of that section. The action of the North
western did not please the Milwaukee a.
St Paul and they came back with another
reduction between Chicago and st.
Paul of IL per cent. below the
recent cut, making rates first
class % cents second class p. third Il.
fourth IA, fifth 10, sixth s. The Burling
ton, in order to hit the Milwaukee g. st.
Paul at Council Bluffs and Omaha reduc-
ed the rates on live stock from $50 to S37 80
a car load to Chicago. The Milwaukee &
St Paul has a dressed beef contract at
Omaha, which is based on the relative live
stock rates and the Burlincton's reduc-
ton pulled down the ST. Paul's dressed
meat revenue. The st. Paul retaliated with
similar reduction on live stock rates from
Kansas City and southwestern Missouri
river points to chicago $3.50 per car load
The Chicago and Ohio river lines met in
the morning and reduced meat rates from
Chicago to Atlanta, Ga, and other south
ern points j. cents a hundred. This was
done 20 meet the cut rate competition
from Kansas City via St. Louis.
The dressed meat rates, Kansas
City TO Chicago, were brought down
by all lines 80 to 20 cents a hundred
Burlington decided to meet the cut rates
to Des Moines, and the decreased figures
to that point We're also extended to Daven-
port, Dubuque, Burlington. Ottumwa,
Oskaloosa, and other principal Iowa cities.
This ended the cutting for the day. No
attempts are being made to bring about a
settlement of the troubles.
CHICAGO. Feb. S.-The agreed passenger
fare from Kansas City, southwestern and
Missouri river points to New York. via
both ST Louis and Chicago has been for
some time past fixed at S3l. Bytaking adj
vantage of a low rate made by the Ohio
Il Mississippi east from ST. Louis, lower
rate of $50 was made, and the current of
western travel turned in that direction
The Chicago roads met today and arranged
to put in force a rate of S21. 80. Kansas City
to New York via Chicago. This meets the
st. Louis cut.
CHICAGO, Feb. S.-Samuel DeBow, gen
eral manager OF the California fast freight
line, with headquarters at Chicago, died
here suddenly last night from an attack of
rheumatism of the heart. Deceased was
widely known in railway circles and highly
esteemed.

ANOTHER ACCIDENT.
The Kansas City Cable Cars Cause More
Loss of Life.

KANSAS CITY. Feb S.-Just IS train
on the Kansas City Cable railway was
rounding the top of the steep viaduct lead
ing from the union depot to the summit
of the bluff at Ninth street, at $50 O'Clock
tonight the shank, Or that portion of the
apparatus which passes down in the slot
and connects the lever with the grip,
broke, and one passenger coach was whirl-
ing down the incline at a frightful rate of
speed. At the bottom Of the incline at
the elevated station where the cars are
switched for their return trip, stood an
other train just about to start up the
hill after its predecessor. Fifty feet
further back was still another train, empty.
Although the first train ran down 400 feet
it stayed on the track and at the bottom of
the grade its passenger coach struck the
grip car of the stationary train almost
totally demolishing Ii and hurting the pas
senger coach back to the third car, wreck
ing it badly. Although the evening trains
wsre just arriving at the union depot 100
feet away, it happened that there were
very few passengers on either OF the
trains. Those in the car standing still saw
the car which had slipped come fly
ing down the grade and man
aged to get out ont OF the way be-
lore Une CRASH sOCCulreu. warn nuSScll,
an employe of the road, was not so fortu-
nate and was caught between the bumpers
of the middle train and fatally mangled
The gripman on the first train, II. f.
Guide, remained on the car and when the
collision occurred was thrown off and
suffered broken leg. Brakeman Boff-
man, also on the first train had his right
arm broken, and Al. Sharp, a passenger,
was slightly injured at the same time.
Sharp is a passenger conductor on the
Hannibal & st. Joseph road and had ar
rived just half an hour before. The other
persons who were injured were all passen-
gers, and the most Of them were on the
train which became uDmanagable. They
were all men and all stayed on until the
platform was reached and as a result none
were very seriously injured.
Following is a list of the injured in
addition to those above mentioned: L. A.
Carter, Of Marion, Kansas. ankle sprained
Z. H. HILL head bruised; j. d. Peters. EN-
poria Kan, head bruised and internal
injuries; Peter Stromberg, travelling man,
ankle sprained: Mr.. Foster, of this city,
cut about the mead; 4. H. Tuttle, left leg
hurt.
1t is regarded as miraculous that out of
the ten sufferers only one was fatally hurt
The shank that broke is supposed to have
been defective, but nothing positive is
known as to that assertion. Another
remarkable circumstance was the absence
of any women on the trains The injured
were all given excellent attention, and are
in good condition, excepting Russell.
