The convention entered upon the eighth bal

thank the friends of this convention who
have shown their confidence in the charac
ter and fitness of William B. Allison for the
Presidency and here, with the authority of
that gentleman, l withdraw his name from the
further consideration of this convention"
[Great applause
The call of the roll proceeded amid unusual
disorder, the determination of throngs of the

preSSible.

A WOudarful Cave,

A Castle special says: Prospectors at
the end of the district discovered a
wonderful cave last week. It is stu
ated about seven miles from Castle and
about two and half miles from Bivin's
coal banks. A party of men with ropes
and ladders made an exploration one
day this week. The entrance is about
as large and similar to q mining shaft.
At about forty feet they found a room
about 25Ox2O0 feet. From this room
they went through an arched passage
$50 feet on an incline of about forty
five degrees, which dropped off perpen.
dicularly for fifteen feet. 1t then ran on
a level Is or 100 feet. From this main
passage lateral and ascending passages
were found, one extending in an up
ward course thirty feet into another
room about 20Ox10O feet and about 81
feet in height. The bottom, walls and
ceiling or roof were all crystalized. Or
the lower level the party found laks
of pure water of quite an extent. Tht
whole distance traversed in this won
derful underground cavern was estima
ted to be 100 or 1900 feet.

A VillainOus Plot Frustrated .

Walla Walla special: The prisoners
in the penitentiary here have been dis
covered in vile conspiracy. Four Of
them were employed in making brick
outside of the stockade in an enclosure
guarded by four armed guards. This
afternoon the brick yard overseer found
a large bottle Of nitric acid in the brick
kiln, which was placed there by trusty
man who was allowed his liberty and
passed as citizen. The scheme was to
poison the guards, who are stationed out
side the enclosure. The prisoners andlthe
guards drink the water occasionally
and the intention was to give the
guards drink of nitric acid instead of
water and then sieze the guns, go to the
prison and liberate 12O other prisoners
and make a grand break for liberty.
The escape would probably have been
successful but for the lucky finding of
the acid. The exposure of the plan will
cause great excitement, as ii it had
been successful the town and country
would have been largely at the mercy
of the convicts.

first time California's sixteen votes were
cast for Harrison, the delegation having
voted solidly for Blaine from the OPEN

in the choice of Harrison by vote OF
544 against 2S6 for the other candidates.
When the result was announced there
was burst Of applause and the great
audience arose to it's feet and shouted
until it tired itself out. One Of the Off
GERS of the convention climbed upon the
chairman's desk and waved a banner
bearing the portrait of Harrison and
scene of enthusiasm followed, cries OF
"He's all right" being heard in the din.
Finally, with three cheers for Harrison,
the convention became quiet. Foraker,

for Pennsylvania, and Farwell, for
Illinois, then moved to make the nomI-
nation unanimous, and when the chair
man put the question it was carried
with a mighty shout.
