We reprint from the November number
of Nature q brief notice of three West In
dian hurricanes that took place inSeptem-
Der. OF these only one was near enough
to attract attention here, namely that which
passed to the north of St. Thomas on the
3lst of August and made its way weStwards
to Cuba and the Gulf Of Mexico. Ihls
hurricane was marked by a pecullarlty OF
extreme rarity, namely a departure from the
usual line of progress of West Indian nur'
ricanes. AS is well known, West Indian
hurricanes commonly move i'll a curve hav-
ing its convex end near the coast of the
United States. They approach this coast
from the s. E. curve towards the north
and leave it towards the N. w. The hurri-

What the Secretary Says About

EDITOR OF TIE ADVERTISER:
1T seems that some Of our esteem
ed citizens of Sullivan township
Wcrenot satisfied with the delcga-
tioAthat was sent to L%uurens on the
9th. of June, finding from n few
lines / saw in your worthy paper
in asst weeks issue. We acknowl-
edge there was not any notice Civ
EN- through the county papers by
u township chairman that a meet
ing would be held at Tumbling
Shoals on the 9th Of June, but 1t
va announced through The AID
vERTIsER In connection with the
Tumbling Shoals "dots" a week
previous to this meeting. SO any
one car plainly see that this gen
tleman, (Mr. "Voter.") is not n sub
scriber for this valuable paper, or
if he is, owing to his dotage and his
once quick and penetrating eyes
having lost their former lustre, he
is depending on others for his in
formation from newspapers. II
such is the case he has u heart
felt sympathy. Yes, we were Only
twelve that would quit our farms
for a few hours on the 9Th Of June
TO respond to our country's call.
We were weak in number and do
not deny our mental deficiency, but
we do not think there would have
been much added to our stature,
had Mr.. "Votcr" honored us with
his presence.

THE ADVERTISER is in receipt
OF q circular letter issued by the
National League of Democratic
club, relative TO the Baltimore Con
vcntion which meets on July Attn.
Most Of the states are already rep
resented in this League. and il is
desired thatthc fullest possible rep
resentation be made. state Lea
cues are being organized which are
entitled to delegates at la. &c, and
any Democratic Club desiring adj
mission into the league has only to
apply to the secretary and subscrib
to the platform Of the party and
support the nominees.
We believe that it is the duty of
South Carolina, II of the most So
idly democratic states, and Lau-
rens, one Of the foremost counties
IN the Democratic column, 70 be
fully represented i'm this Conycn-
tion.
In this connection we suggest.
tha each county in the state, fol.
lowing the example Of those who
have already adopted the plan
should organize clubs in which the
young democrats should be especi.

The fact that we have but
one party at present in this State
has had Il tendency to make South
Ca%rOlinians careless of their obliga-
ton to fellow workers in the same
cause; being assured of ucce ut
home, we have not entertained the
possible contingency of some day
losing the state in the national
election. Should the domant or
dead republican party revive and
fully organize and register the ne
gro voters and those of the whites
who could be bought be the pros
pcct of spoils, the G.. O.. p. might
prove lively corpse. Indeed, back
ed by the republicans North, the
negroes arc being registered all
over the state, while the Democrats
arc gradually becoming less mind
full of their duty in this regard.
Now let the young democrats
come forward and organize, and
this generous rivalry will speed the
cause and stimulate Il healthy in
tcrcst in politics.

The Fight Over Delegates at

Shortly after O'Clock the committee
Oh credentials having reported the con-

gates at large. The motion of George
F. Potter, of Houston county, that the
convention proceed to elect delegate
at large from the First congressional
district was met with cries of derision.
Mr.. Flynn, of Morrison, amended to
make it the Fifth district The hub
bub was fearful, and it was finally de-
cided that the delegates at large be
nominated first.
II. Steenerson-I nominate gentle
man who represents no faction, Henry
a. Castle, of Ramsey county.
Sam G. Smith-Ramsey county sec
onds that nomination.
Eugene Hay, of Minneapolis pre-
sent the name of w. D. Washburn.
Great applause from Hennepin dele
gateS.)
Col. Jenkins Douglas county seconds
Gen. Washbnrn's nomination.
Thomas Simpson-So does Winona
county.
st. Louis county presented the name
or q. q. Hartley, of Duluth.
Afterwards Mr.. Stevenson withdrew
Mr.. Hartley's name, and the contest for
supremacy on the delegation settled
down between Castle and Washburn.
This move of Steenerson's was a
clever one. 1t set Hennepin and Ram.
sey county to cutting each others
throat. 1t was notice from the county
delegates to the Fourth congressional
district that it could have but one dele.
gate to Chicago, and discouraged the
plans OF Ramsey and Hennepin to cap
ture two.
