When, in March, 1887, Warner Mil
Ter left the United States senate, his
term having expired, his interest in
politics suffered no decline. No more
earnest republican than he can be
found, and his readiness to serve his
party is aptly recognized in the honor
done him by making him permanent
chairman of the National Republican
convention.
Mr. Miller was born in OswegO
county, New York, August II, 1888.
He was educated at Union College,
where he was held in high estimation,
and graduated with hOnOrs in 1860.
Soon after this he was employed as a
teacher in the Fort Edward Collegiate
Institute, where he distinguished
himself in marked degree, and
where he remained until the breaking
out of the civil war, when he enlisted
as private in the Fifth New York
Cavalry, serving subsequently in the
Shenandoah Valley. His successful
career as a soldier may be gathered
from the fact, that he was steadily
promoted through the intermediate
ranks until he became lieutenant,
when he was taken prisoner at the
battle of Winchester.
In 1872 he was a delegate to the
national convention at Philadelphia;
and in 1874, and also in 1875, he was
elected to the New York legislature.
He was subsequently the republican
representative to the forty-siXth con-
gress, from the twenty-second district;
comprising Herkimer, Jefferson and
Lewis counties, and was reelected.
Mr.. Miller was elected to the United
States senate on July Is, 1881, in the
place of Thomas G. Platt, resigned,
and took his seat October II, 1881. He
has lived in Herkimer, New York, for
many years, and is a paper manu-
facturer and agriculturist of large
means and influence.
Warner Miller is Methodist in his
religious profession, and busy one.
His creed, as it directly relates to
national politics, is that of the ear
nest protectionist, and there is sig
nificance in his being chairman of a
convention which has declared itself
squarely for the doctrine of protec-
ton.

The Floresville Chronicle jumps
with the frisky kittens of the democ-
racy in it's pursuit of victory under the
bourbon bandanna. The "Old Ro-
man" is more popular in Texas than
at home, where the weakest candidate
the republicans ever nominated for
high office beat him out of sight. The
Chronicle says:
"All the stories circulated by re-
publican newspapers and politicians
about the failure of Judge Thurman s
health in the last few years, since he
left the United States senate, are
proven to be absolutely false by a
large number of gentlemen who have
called upon him since his nomination
by the st. Louis convention. The
old Roman is remarkable man in
many respects, will make remark
able race for vice-president, and when
elected will be no figure head"
The "Old Roman stands no show
of election, and if he did, stands no
more show of counting for anything at
Washington than Hendricks did. No
man who is in the shadow of the "Fat
Boy of Buffalo" will ever succeed in
cutting a figure in the democratic

CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS.

No ballots were taken in the cOnven-
ton during last nights session, and
when the convention retired to sleep
upon its work and gain strength for
the next days battle matters stood
as reported in these columns at p.
M, yesterday. When the convention
met in the evening, Chairman Estee
in the chair, having somewhat recOv-
cred his voice, Chauncey Depew took
the stand to explain matters connec-
ted with his candidacy and to give
the convention his reasons for re-
questing the New York delegation to
withdraw his name from before the
convention. These reasons were sole
ly based upon the objections he had
found existing against his candidacy
on account of his connection with rail-
road companies. This objection did
not obtain at the east and would be no
bar to his candidacy there, he said,
and the New York delegation had
determined to stand by him as
long as ballots were cast. In
view, however, of the situation, and
of his having no personal interest in
his own candidacy, having been in
duced thereto solely by the wishes of
the New York delegation since COM
ing to Chicago, and having so con-
sented purely for state reasons, to
heal all dissenslOns of his party in
the Empire sta to, now that national
reasons seemed to Overtop state de-
mands, he believed it his duty to the
party at large to withdraw his name
from before the convention, fearing
thai his candidacy, if nominated,
would be inimical to the success of
the campaign in states where HOSTILE
" TO railroad corporations was still
active. he assured the convention
that there would be no heartburnings
IN New York over this matter. that
the delegation had acceded to his re-
guest, and that they would return

so moved and his motion carried.
The outcome is as uncertain as ever.
No man knows what last nights con-
situations may result in as expressed
in the morning ballot. The telegraph
columns of this issue must be looked
to as affording the only clue to the
labyrinth. The manner in which the
ballots are scattered seems to indicate
a determination to prevent a nomina-
ton at present. No one is within
nearly 200 votes of a nomination, and
it is extremely idle to speculate. In
tense interest and anxiety will be
manifested to know where New
York's 72 votes will go on the opening
ballot of today. If they go solidly for
any one candidate, it will 60 a long
way towards securing that mans
nomination, but so far that vote can
not be counted for either Harrison,
Sherman, Alger or Gresham, and the
only virtue is in patient waiting.

party.

Prince William, by the death of his
father, Frederick III. after a reign OF
little more than three months, be-
comes the Emperor William III. Late
ly he has acted as Regent, not the
first time, by the way. 1t will be re-
membered that a decree was promul-
gated on the Sth of March last, the
day before the Emperor King Will
liam died, which read as follows:
considering the uncertain state of
my health, which compels me tenn
porarily to abstain from the transac-
ton of affairs, and in view of the ill
ness and prolonged absence of my
son, Frederick William, l charge
your Royal Highness with all cases
where believe representation neces-
sary in current Government business,
especially signing orders without a
special order being requisite on every
separate OCCASION 1t had been pre-
pared by the aged monarch several
weeks before, and was addressed to
the subject of this sketch.
The new emperor is the oldest son
of the late emperor and of Victoria,
his wife, who is by birth the princess
royal of Great Britain, as the eldest
daughter of Queen Victoria and the
late prince consort. He was born on
January q, 1859, and is consequently
in his thirtieth year. His wife, whom
he married February ~, 1881, is the
Princess Victoria of Schleswig-H ol-
MISUNDERSTANDING. She is more
than year younger than he. The
pair have four children, all boys, and
the youngest SO recent an arrival as
of January %, 1887. The favorite pic
ture, "Ths Four Kings" which every
reader has seen, represents the eldest
of the four as the baby who is being
aftectionately regarded by his great
grandfather, the aged emperor. The
baby of the picture, who is now the
crown prince, is nearly six years old,
having been born May 8, 1882.
The new emperor is said to hate
constitutionalism, and to be of war
like disposition. We shall see what

THE Llano Iron News scans the stu
alton in Joe Sayer's district and finds
it somewhat paradoXical. The real
relation between the Protective club
of this city and Jodie's nomination
evidently puzzles it, as witness the
following:
"a Texas Protective club has been
organized in San Antonio. 1t is COM
posed of prominent business men, and
its object is to maintain the present
tariff, at least in its main features.
Really, it is not an organization whose
main object will be to send prOtec-
ton democrat to congress from this
district in place of J. d. Sayers? Os-
car Bergstrom, the democratic chair
man of this congressional district, is a
member of the club"
The Iron News man will find more
out about this club some time next
November when the iron enters the
soul of the Texas democracy, as it
mourns for lost representative in the
halls Of the national congress.
THE San Marcos Free Press has the
following in it's issue of last Thurs
day:
"a letter from San Francisco, re-
ceived today, says "the hotels are
crowded all the time, the result of ad-
vertising. Texas is a better state, all
the while, than California, and all her
business men require is efficient ad-
vertising in her local papers and
abroad. Liberal and judicious adver-
Using gave California her great boom
and enriched so many of her citizens,
and it Is this keen, sharp-sighted pol
icy that keeps things moving so rap
idly. From my observations there Is
more advertising done by Californians
in week than by Texans in a
month";
This is a pointer for the secretary
and executive committee of the South
west Texas immigration association.
THE Cincinnati Times-Star has been
instant in season and out of season
fostering the Sherman boom. If
Treasury John" succeeds in getting
the nomination, it will be cause for
jubilstion in the Star Office. No one
doubts Sherman's ability to make a
very successful president.

some fool protectionist of Ohio, hav-
ing fired off brilliant paragraph to
the effect that you cannot grow sheep
by act of congress, the Cincinnati
Times-Star comments vigorously as
follows:
The facts and statistics show that
under the act of congress imposing a
duty on imported wool the number of
sheep in this country increased from
., All ,95l in 1870 to SO, 626, 626 in 1884.
The statistics also show that under
the act of congress reducing the duty
on imported wool the wool product of
this country has decreased from 337 :
500, 900 pounds in 1884 to about 32O, OOO.-
600 this year. 1t may be impossible
literally ito grow sheep by act of
congress-" but congress can clearly
so shape legislation as to increase or
diminish the number of sheep grown
IN the country"
The wool wriggIers can put this in
their pipe end smoke it at their leis-
ure.
