Kisses FOR w. X. GRACE
A little later the name of HIPS arch-encmy,
Mr. Grace WAS mentioned Instantly storm
of Kisses arose from all parts of the house that
could not be drowned by all the stamping and
applause of Graces friends from Hunters Point
and elsewhere.
The reorganization of the State Committee
was fully as radical as predicted in The TRIBUNE
No less than twelve substitutions were made,
and two of these, Thomas Costigan for ex-Mayor
Cooper and William r. Mitchell for William Il.

Before adjouming the audience manifested a
disposition to hear some speeches Daniel Dough
erty and w. Bourkc Cochran responded MIR.
Dougherty tired all his arts to warm up the
Cleveland sentiment but 1t was OF no avail.
The delegates would not cheer except in the most
half-hCarted way Seeing this, the orator gave up
trying. and after few remarks about harmony
and the glorious prospects, OF the Democracy,
sat down. His ol,l-fashioned style of oratory
and gestures were watched with a good deal Of
interest and amusement by the delegates.
w. Bourkc Cockrans speech was brief and
formal, merely prefacng the motion TO adjourn
which he made and which was carried.
THE NEw-AMsTERDAM CLUB RECEPTION.
No expense had been spared to put the interior OF
the New-Arnsierdam Club in gorgeous shape for

American dairy interests are stGrtlingly
enormous. They represent an investment
of nearly twenty -tiyc times the entire bank
capital of the country; that is to say, the
bank capital is little less than sou ,00O.-
O0O, while the dairy interests amount to
more than 1900. GOO coo. OF course our
readers cannot swallow such frightful
figures in lump, and we will, therefore,
arrange them in several smaller, but still
heroic doses. The number of milch COWS
is estimated at 21,OOO,O00 They give
each an average Of $50 gallons of milk an
nually. This would mako an aggregate
milk production of 1850. Goa. coo gallons,
miniature ocean, fair sized NIAGARA
Four Thousand millions are used for
cheese, and the remaining 2,G0O,-
0O0,o coo pass through the adulterating
hands of the milkmrh and grocer, and
down the Threats of Gp,O'O,UUO men,
women and babies in this land of freedom.
The quantity of butter manufactured and
used is about | $50, 000, 900 pounds, aud Of
cheese $500, 600 pounds. The value of
our dairy products for the last year. was
nearly $500 600 900. This is $4,000 600
more than the value of our annual wheat
yield, while it closely approXimates that
of our corn crop, which is the most valu-
able of our farm products. To support
this immense dairy herd 100, 600, coo acres
Of pasture land are required, worth $3.50,
600 600 1t is easy enough 10 see, therefore,
that 4 900, 900 farmers In this country are
an important elsment of our national wei
fare and prosperity. - Holsteip -Friesian
