UNSATISFACTORY GRAIN RATES.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 21.-Since the
adjustment of the through and local rates
on grain railroad men loudly complain
that the business; has not materially in
creased. They assert that the railroads
have yielded to the requests of the grain
merchants, yet the business is not such as
would warrant the adjustment OF rates
The grain dealers explain this by the claim
that the time flowed for the handling of
grain in this city is too short, and that the
concession is not enough, for it requires
that the receiver must be the shipper and
prevents the sale of grain here. For ex-
ample, several car loads of grain are ship
pfd INTO the city from the west, aud in or
der to get the benefit of the rates the party
TO whom the shipment is made must send
out the same within ten days. 1t may be
necessary to collect large number of car
loads, and within the limited time this is
sometimes Impossible. The market they
report hyelier since the low rates have
been issued, but the wheat crop in general
in the west has been very poor.

OwARFPuBllcAN CONVENTION.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Aug. 21.-The advance
guard OF politicians to the Republican
state convention is putting in its appear
ance tonight, although 1t does not meet till
Wednesday. Many of the candidates are
here and have opened headquarters. There
is large sprinkling of rural members,
and so many new faces are seen as to sug-
geSt that 3 new element is attending the
convention this year. This is largely due
to the interest in the railroad question, the
farmers alliance in many localities having
organized the county convention and sent
delegations OF theirs to the state conyen-
ton. SO it resembles the days before the
opening of the legislature, and many
things suggest one OF the old time granger
legislatures when the anti monopoly sup
port was particularly vigorous.
1t seems 10 be practically settled that
Railroad Commissioners Smith and Camp
bell viii be renominated. The Farmers
Alliances are for them, and many dele-a-
tions come pledged for them, though there
are so many candidates ostenslbly Tor the
third place that possibly one OF the first
two named may get lost IN the shuttle.
The candidates for commissioners are
backward in coming in. Part are here,
while all the candidates for attorney gen
eral are on the ground hard at work. OF
these John L. Stone, of Glenwood, seems
10 be IL the lead. with Milton kamley
Judge Wiuslow and Attorney General
Brker following in the order named.

ton. though IL is reported that Judge

TuRNFR,o EXPECTED REVENGE.

WASHINGTON, Aug eli. Milton Iur-
ner. the colored Democratic statesman
from Missouri, having failed to secure the
passage of the bill apprcprlatlng s71,OOo
for the Cherokee freedman, has secured an
engagement with the Democratic national
committee, and last night left for New
York. MIR. Turner attributes the defeat Of
his measure to Mr.. Owen, OF Indiana, who
perpetualiy objected to its consideration
in the house He is also incensed at Far
mer Wade, the representative from the
Thirteenth Missouri district. Mr.. Wade
was the individual to whom Mr..
Turner unbosomed himself IN the
hearing of Mr.. Owen and news
paper correspondent, concerning his
relations with the Democracy and the part
the Cherokee freedmens blll was TO play
as a reward for Turner's efforts ut the IN
dianapolis convention. Farmer wade
adroitly led Mr. Turner into the converse
ton and the colored statesman grew quite
confidential within the hearing OF the Two
witnesses The Democrats, having falled
to pass Mr. Turner's bill, have secured hlm
employment with their national commit
tee Ii is announced that he Will at some
time during the campaign be allowed to
revenge himself on Mr.. Owen by visiting
that gentleman's district and taking part
in the canvass against him. Mr. Owen
represents the Tenth Indiana district and
is serving his second term. He IS Re
publican and his majority over his Demo-
cratic competitor in the last election was
over 20G0 out OF 81, eco votes cast. 1t is not
likely that J. Milton Turner's influence in
the district will be seriously felt
Mr. Owen. in referring to j. Milton
Turner's boast that he will change the
Tenth Indiana district from Republican
to Democratic as soon as he can be turned
loose on it by the National Democratic
committee, said: There are only about
thirty or forty colored Democrats in the
whole district, and they are all friends of
mine l do not anticiDate that j. Milton
Turner viii have much influence with
them or with anybody else. The colored
Republicans in my district are not dis
posed this year to take up with the Dem
ocracy, and | apprehend that if j. Milton

reforner and Democrat, he may not
