Ir is officially stated by Mr.. Jones,
Chairman Of the Republican Nation
al Committee, that delegates to the
National Convention must be chosen
in the way that the Congressman is
nominated in each Congressional
district In other words, district
convention must be called to select
the two delegates. 1t is probable
that Ia some districts two birds will
be killed with one stone, and that
the convention called TO choose the
delegates vail also nominate the

PRISON CONGRESS.
Nashville Selected as the Next Place
of Meeting.
[By telegraph TO the DisptGch.l


BOsTON, july 19-In the session Of the
National Prison Association to-day 1t was
announced that the association had been I'm.
yited 10 Nashville, and the next meeting
would be held about the middle OF October,
1889. The details would be settled by the
directors. Mr. fillmore, president OF the
Wisconsin State Board OF Charities. objected
TO Nashville, saying the association had been
stability treated at Atlanta. and that Ten
nessee did not even send delegate.
Mr.. FELTON,, Of Illinois, made warm de-
fence OF Atlanta, saying they bad been nobly
treated.
Err. Love reinforced this view.
Secretary Weirs also defended Atlanta
hospitality. saying that the only complaints
they could have was that the southern war
dens did not attend the meetings, though
Atlanta was chosen for their convenience,
and that the southern women preferred an
argument IN favor OF the lease system to one
against il but the Governor had shown
them much attention and the people had
been bospitable. 1t would help the cause OF
reform to meet in the South, where aid was
needed.
Others took the same view. Ex-President
HAYES SAID that the reception at Atlanta was
most proper, cordial, and satisfactory. Al
most every clergyman Of the city had been
in complete sympathy with them.
DR.. Hapgood, OF Atlanta, had delivered
one OF the most cogent articles against the
lease system he had ever heard, and that
seemed to be the feeling OF very large num-
Der OF the southern people. He should be
glad ii. whenever meetings should be held
In Madison or Pittsburgh, IL their reception
should be as cordial and the meetings as
satisfactory 10 results as It was at the At
anta meeting. [Appause.l
Mr. Elmore withdrew his objection. BY
a unanimous vote the action OF the directors
in selecting Nashville was approved.

Ownership OF real estate by foreign corpora
lions Is denounced. Miners aud those en-
gagged in manufacturing occupations should
be protected by proper legislation. All I'M
earned railroad lands, especially ibose In
the upper Peninsula, should be forfeited.
Home rule Is declared TO be a cardinal prIu-
ciple Of the Democratic party, and therefor"

CHICAGO, July 19.-The following resolu.
ton was adopted by the charmen OF the
Grievance Committees OF the various railway
systems who are IN session here to-day:
While we do not withdraw word OF our
deuuncistious OF the use OF dynamite, we do
not want the public TO suppose that we are
condemning the men under accusation. The
exposures OF the past few days show that
many OF the men under arrest were detec-
tiyes scting under the direction OF the infa-
nous PinkertoD gang. IL Is easy TO
see how such villains could manufac-
ture evidence against innocent men,
and put up Jobs that would make unsrspect-
ing men say and do things which
could afterwards be tortured into the appear.
apce OF crimnallty. The whole business
looks at this time like policy adopted to In
lure aud disgrace the worklngmen who are
on the strike. We assure the public that we
have no sympathy whatever with lawless-
ness, but we sppeal TO all fair-minded cti-
zens to withhold judgment against the men
under accusation until they have been fairly
TIED In court which knows law and the
rules OF evidence and which will administer
them impartially.
