Horses on the Sick List.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, April 13-Dr. F. A. Mcclellan, veterinary surgeon of this city, went to New York to learn if the disease that is aff1icting Bridgeport horses was prevalent in that city. He found 100 horses ill at the Third avenue horse railroad stables, and the large livery stables reported large number of their animals suffering with disease sirni- lar to pneumonia. There are great many horses sick in this city with malady hereto fore unknown. The disease manifests itself in loss of appetite, and results in weakness and decline because of inability to take nourish- ment.

THE CONVENTIONS.

The two great party sssemblsges, one OF
which will name the President and Vice
President Of the United States, for the
next SUGGESTING term will both meet this
month.
The National Democratic Convention
will be in session at st. Louis to-mor-
row, and the Republican Convention will
assemble at Chicago two weeks later
The two conventions have the same num-
Der of delegates, to wit, $40, each State
being entitled to twice as many delegates
az it has electors of President and Vice
President. In addition to the SOP dele
gates from the several States the organized
territories and the District of Columbia are
entitled TO two delegates each. The whole
number of these delegates who represent no
constituencies voting at the presidential
election is eighteen. The admission OF
delegates who do not represent States is an
innovation 80 far as the National Demo
cratic Convention is concerned. The Re-
publican party was the first to admit these
delegates to a presidential convention. In
1884 the National Democratic Committee
invited the Democrats of the Territories
and the District of Columbia to send dele
gates to the national convention, reserving
the question of admission to the decision
OF thst body. The convention admitted
these delegates, and thus established o
precedent that undoubtedly will govern
future conventions.
In the Democratic National Convention
a number of State delegations, according
to their instructions, will cast their votes
under the unit rule, as majority or two
thirds Of the delegates from the State shall
direct, the chairman announcing the vote.
In the Republican National Convention the
unit rule was set aside by ruling Of the
President of the Convention of 1876, and it
was abolished in 1880.
In the Republican Convention a msjor-
ity of all the delegates chosen-4ll-is re-
quired for a nomination, no matter what
the number Of delegates voting may be.
In the National Democratic Convention
tie two-thirds rule prevails, requiring two
thirds of the votes cast. II all the dele
gates or their alternates or substitutes

"hypOcritical" Democratic party which
declares that the high tariff is burden to
the poor man.
The issue is this: The Democrats pro-
pose to reduce this burden about ~ per
cent; the Republicans do not propose to
reduce it cent, though distinctly pledged
to do so 10 their platform.
Isiss very plain issue. There are no
theories about il. The principles OF pro-
lection and free trade are not involved in
the slightest degree.
The question the people will cave to de-
eide in November is whether or not they
are willing to be taxed to keep an enor-
nous and threatening surplus 10 the treas
ury.
There is little doubt as to their decision.

Eustace Gibson to W. t. Thompson.

HUNTINGTON, W. Va, May 81, 1883.
Hyi. w. T. Thompson:
DEAR SIR: In your letter to me in the
REGISTER of the 9th inst, You deny max
ing any combination with Judge j. NJ.
Jackson in the Congressional race in this
district, and you charge that am respon-
sible for Democratic losses in the counties
Of Wayne, Cabell and Lincoln. As mat
ter of fact, which can readily be verified
in the office of the Secretary of State OF
West Virginia, the Democratic msjorities
in these counties was increased IN the years
when / ran for Congress over other years.
A comparison OF the vote for President
Cleveland in these three counties with the
vote for me at the same election will
wholly disproye your assertion. Since
ISL, when | removed to this State, have,
NJ the solicitation of the official representa-
tives of the Democratic party, advocated
the election OF every Democratic candidate
in Cabell county, and of every State and
Congressional candidate, This service
may have been insfficiently rendered, bat
il was rendered willingly; and in this
connection let me say that while you are a
lawyer and spublic speaker, you have
never during all that time, with one single
solitary exception, lifted up your voice for
the Democratic party.
must decline to give the names OF the
gentlemen who have advised me of your
arrangements with Judge Jackson and of
the declarations that was TO be eliminated
from West Virginia politics. believe
these things are true, and sm justified 10
this belief by the circumstance Of the de-
NAL made by you in reference to the
Congressional race two years ago. Your
memory is still, doubt not, painfully
fresh as to that incident When boasting Of
the character Of the Congressional delega-
ton recently selected in this county, you
should undoubtedly say, to be truthful
and fair, that was not in the State when
the delegation was chosen, and that had
asked no friend to work to Sc
cure q delegation that would be
friendly to my interests. Let me conclude
this letter by saying that my present
sources of information concerning your
Vaccinations with Judge Jackson are
equally as high and authentic as were
those by which / was apprised OF your
manners two years ago, and that propose
to end the discussion at this point, asking
You to relegate personal controversies to the
rear, and if you are sincere in your pro-
fessions of devotion to the Democratic
party, strive az earnestly as / shall for its
success, no matter how limited the sphere
ofaction to which we may be consigned.
Respectfully yours,

Is 1T NOT oPPREssIYEf


Our Republican brethren pooh pooh the
assertion that the present system OF high
tariff taxation is fearfully oppressive. In
their inimitable high protection way they
laugh and Joke at the idea that it hurts
the poor man and very bluntly intimate
that the party that says it does is no more
nor less than a party of hypOcrites, which
wants the poor mans vote. We've all
heard we'll dressed speakers get this on
in q very effective and jocular way.
Now let us candidly look into the mat
ter and see whether or not the present
system of high tariff taxation really is OPP
pressive to the poor man, and to the
whole American people, as the Demo
Gratis assert.
We all know that every day in the
year the United States Government col
lects from the people over 100000 In
federal taxes-if the taxes are not very
soon reduced il will amount to a million
day.
This 5000, 600 is about $500. 600 day more
than the government can honestly spend
or over 500, 600, 900 year lit is calculated
that the surplus on July l will amount to
about $3.50, 600, OOO)
These figures, mind you, are tie govern
meut's own, and are not disputed by the
most unfair partisan.
Are not the Democrats right? Is not
this system of high tariff taxation over
500, 900, 900 clear oppression, or as it will
be this year, $4,000, 900? Excessive
taxation is unjust taxation" says the
Democratic party in its platform. Could
we not with prOpriety carry the phrase
further and say: Unjust taxation is OPP
pressiys taxation ?-oppressiVe to every
man, woman and child in the United
States.
But this is not all, by any means. 1t IL
only about one sixth part Of the extor-
ton and oppression the American people
are laboring under. To get this surplus
of 800, OOG, 600 year into the Treasury
the people have to pay about $500, OO0, 600
that does not 90 into lie Treasury, for the
500, OOO, 900 represents only the surplus
of the government collections over and
above the needs of the government and
does net include q cent OF the increase in
the prices of the American made, highly
protected articles.
For instances the government will this
year collect something like $3.50, OOO, 600 in
duties from the tariff. The people pay
this tax when they pay the importer Of
foreign goods for his wares. Then they
nav the same tax over and over again
every time they buy q protected American
article. In other words to get this $780,
OOO. 900 into the United States Treasury
hey must pay about six times that
mount. or over 81, 900, 600. 600. This Is
Aha basis of thssstimAte Of Representa-
Cox, of New York. Think Of 1t!
MT 500 year for every voter in the
try! This is very rough ealcula-
bot not at all exaggerated.

THE Chicago Inter Ocean is OF the opin-
ion that the Republican party will elect
its nominee for President without the vote
of New York, and it reaches this conclusion
AZ follows: Republicans have 1s2 votes
sure. Admitting that Connecticut (6),
Indiana (15), New Jersey (9) and New
York (36), are in doubt, with Connecticut
and Indiana they will have 2O3 votes.
With Iudiana and New Jersey they will
have 2O6 votes. Give the bourbous both
New York and Connecticut and they only
have 1875 votes. New York politicians are

approaching point five miles this side

it encountered washout. The engine
left the track and car after car piled up
on it. Engineer Kaufman and fireman
John Bradley were horribly scalded, but
the conductor and brakeman escaped
with bruises. When relief arrived the
engineer and fireman were found running
about the prairie delirious. They were
brought to the city but Bradley died on
the way, and Kaufman's chances of re-
covery are small.
