Great applause).
 The committee on platform, after a few moments deliberation, reported resolutions, which say ill part:
 "It is fitting at the close of the third year of the presidential term of Grover Cleveland to acknowledge our sense of the services which he has rendered to the people of the United States. He has, above all, brought the pub lie service to the highest standard of eff clency, not only by rule and precept, but by the example of his own untiring and unsel- fish administration of public affairs With 8 full sense of his personal and political merits and powers for future influence, we declare our preference for Grover Cleveland as his own successor in the office of president of the United States, and we instruct our delegates to the convention at St Louis to cast their unanimous vote for him as Democratic can didate for the presidency, and to vote as a unit in all matters which pertain to the busl- ness of that convention.
 National taxation ought to be limited to the aggregate annual sum needed for the fol- lowing purposes: The interest on the public debt, with adequate provision for the pay ment of the principal at it's maturity; for the payment of pensions granted by the United States, and to provide means for all neces- sary expenses of an economically admins tered government"
 The following delegates at large were elected: Hon. A. P. German, Germon H. Hunt, Col. V. Baughman aud John B. Brown; ; electors at large, Henry Page and James Hodges. District delegates and electors were also chosen.

Against the settlers.

TOPEKA, Kas., Nov. 3.-Judge Brewer
has just handed down an opinion in the
famous Allen county case, in which GER
tain alternate sections of land granted by
the government to the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railway were claimed by the
settlers thereon. Judge Brewer holds
that the land in question legally belongs
TO the railway company. The settlers
will therefore be compelled to give up
possession to the company. The land
embraces a large amount of the most fer
tile farming land in the country, and this
adverse decision will be a blow to the
settlers whose homes are thus taken from
them, About five hundred settlers are
thus thrown out of their homes. Many
of them have occupied the lands for ten
or fifteen years and have made extensive
Improvements. The opinion has been
just filed with the clerk of the United
States circuit court of this city, but the
Judgment will not be entered until the
converting of the United States court in
this city on the 18th inst.

Chicago special: The nextissle OF Il Q
Railway age will contain the follt wing:
Few people have had any correct idea
OF she amount Of railway oonstr cotton
whIoh has been In progress in the United
States during the present year. The
impression which widely obtained at the
commencement oil the year that + ilway
extension had been practically Suspend
ed, and that 1888 would show very little
addition of railway track seems to have
oontinued, although the statements pub.
lished in she journals for the first six
months showed hat nearly four thou
sand miles of track had been laid. The
fact that the great companies which
added thousands of miles of new road in
1887 practically ceased construction at
the end of that year, for the time being ,
seemed to warrant the impression that
railway building had practically come to
q atsndstill, But while few of the prin-
oipal companies have been doing much
new building, still work has been quiet
ly in progress on hundreds of short lines
all over the land, and already new track
hes been laid this year in every n of
the torty-seven states and territories,
with the three exceptions OF Rhode Is-
land, Utah and Nevada, and almost six
Thousand miles of main line have been
added to the railway system of the coun-
try since the first of January last.

cartridge was inserted in a roll of the
stuff. The cartridge exploded with a
fuse, but the eStralite did not explode.
A hole two feet deep was drilled in the
hardest rock to be found in the neigh
boring quarry. Three rolls of the ex-
plosive, each containing three ounces,
were tamped down in the hole and o n
nected with a fuse. The explosion shook
the ground, and the air was filed with
flying powders. The result would have
required two pounds of ~gunpowder, or

The manufacture of the explosive will
be commenced at once.

sait for Forgery in Politics.

New YORK, Nov. 3.-Col. George Bliss,
counsel for w. w. Dudley, says he will
begin several suits against papers which
have published the Dudley circulars, al
legged by the Republicans to be a forgery.
He says, however, that ne believes the
national Democratic committee are the
parties guilty of the forgery. lie says
the circular as published here differed in
a dozen ways from the one published at
Indianapolis, showing, he argues, that
there was NOT only forgery, but very
clumsy work. He does not expect the
suits will come to trial until after the
election. He has not decided whether to
sue members of the Democratic party or
not.
