GRAFTON Convention.

Hon VIM. L. Wilson was the temporary
chairman of the Grafton Convention. Hon.
c. Wood Daily was permanent chairman.
The best of harmony prevailed.
The Committee on Resolutions made the
following report Thoughts chairman, Hon
/ II. G.. Davis, the report being adopted with
out "a dissenting voice and amid great en-.
thusiasm:
Rco1rsl, First-That the true end of civ
/ IL government is not to subserye primarily
the highes, interest Of the smallest class of
society, but to equalize both the benefits
and burdens of the community in a manner
consistent with reason, and the unalterable
principles of eyen-hauded justice, so that
all classes may participate and rejoice in
the protection, prosperity and progress of
the State
Second That the Democracy of the Sec
ond Congressional District of West Virgin
ia still adhere to the principles of the great
founder of the Democratic party, Thomas
Jefferson, viz: Frugal government, Repub-
licau simplicity and low taxation.
Thirl-Tha the early tendency to mon
archy in preference to Democracy, exhibited
by the opposition to the Democratic party,
known at first as Federal " and now as
Republican, has never cropped out in a
manner more alarming than in the policy
of the Republican party of to-day, embod-
led and illustrated in a war tariff, in extrav-
agant appropriations to unconstitutional
objects, in an enormous surplus in the Ma
tjonal Treasury, and in such wild schemes
to get rid of the surplus, as are unriyaled
i'm European extravaganza, and which if
cousummated win COS, annually double as
much as the standing armies of the Impe-
rial Governments of Europe.
Fourth-That We honor and endorse Pres
ideut Cleveland because he has administer.
ed the highest Office in the gift of the Amer
lean people as a sacred public trust and has
made an honest effort to curtail expendi-
lures, cure extravaganza and reduce taxa
ton TO the necessary expenses of an eco
nomical operation of the government, and
to restore to the business of the country the
money accumulated in International treasury
through the provision of governmental and
the exercise of unconstitutional powers.
Fifth-Ghat we approve and endorse
President Cieyeland's yetoes as the interpo-
sition of a wise and conservative executive /
power against unwise and improyident leg
islation.
SOLID FOR CLEVELAND.
SiXth-That it Is the sense of this con-
yention that President Cleveland should be
renominated by the Democratic National
Convention for a second term, for the rea-
son that his record entities him to a re-elec-
ion at the hands of the people.

The modes of deaths approach are yari.
Gus, and statistics show conclusively that
more persons die from diseases of the Throat
and Lungs than any other. 1t is probable
that everyone, without exception, receives
vast numbers of Tubercle Germs into the
system and where these germs fall upon
suitable soil they start into life and develop,
at first slowly and is shown by slight tick
ling sensation in the throat and if allowed
to continue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to the
head, causing Catarrb Now all this is
dangerous and if allowed to proceed will in
time cause death At the onset you must
act with promptness; allowing a cold to go
without attention is dangerous and may lose
you your life. As soou as you feel that
something is wrong with your Throat, Lungs
or Nostrils, obtain a bottle of Boschee's
German Syrup. twill give you immediate
relief

4 TRIBUTE
4 TRIBUTE
To The Memory Of Richard Undertake



" IN Honest lIaj, he NoJiest Work Of God"
For the benefit Of the youth of both sexes.
especially the young men and boys (of whom
the subject of these lines was peculiarly fond,
one who knew him well afFectonately dedi-
Gates this tribute to his memory. RICHARD
TplBERLAKE was born December 10Th, 1sOs, and
died April 10th, 1855 His father was Harfield
Undertake of King William County, Virgin
ia his mother, Mary Griggs, whose father,
Thomas Griggs, Sr.. moved to this section from
Westmoreland County, Virginia, at the time
of the surrender of CORVALLIS at Yorktown
Mr.. Timberlake possessed, in a remarkable de-
gree, the noble traits which belonged to both
branches of his family. He was left in early
youth the manager of Sheustone, large
estate consisting principally of slaves. With
what judgment equity and fidelity he accom-
plished that task his surviving friends can bear
the highest testimony. \ man of great natu-
raj strength, physically, mentally and morally,
he seemed to feel that God made him to defend
the weak, and how essential did he find this
strength. During the late war-liying near
the path of both armies-he was often subject
ed to depredations and indignities which tried
mems souls, yet his courage never failed, and
IN his presence the oppressor quailed and the
oppressed felt a sense Of security. A man of
strong convictions, he weighed matters well,
and when once convinced no power on earth
could move him. Upright by nature, he was
an example of honesty and straightforward
devotion to duty always just, impartial and
generous to those he employed and to the
deserving poor his hand and heart were al
ways open He held the highest position in
the minds and hearts of all lovers Of integrity
who knew him. To his sorrowing family he
has left an undying lcgacy-hs noble exam
Pile And to the young men I would say en-
ulate him in all your dealings with your fell
bowman. IL will bring 10 you as it did to him
the only real happiness this life can give and
glorious inheritance hereafter, for he believed
there was no piety which could recommend
itself to our Heavenly Father but that which
had its foundation in truth-and in love to
" thy neigh 3or" Though long looking and
preparing for the summons it came suddenly
and painlessy.
Great Jehovah Thou hast borne him
To thy glorious home above,
There to meet the angel spirits
| He loved with such undying love.
As the sun sets to rise again upon another
hemisphere, he has gone beyond the horizon
of time to rise in renewed and perpetual youth
in q brighter and better world

From Hc Spirit Of Jefferson

From hc Spirit Of Jefferson
The manly position of Col. r. P. Chew,
of this county, in the Grafton convention
last Tuesday, won for him host of addi-
tiona} friends and admirers. The Colonel
went to Grafton without the least idea of
being a candidate for the st. Louis conven-
ton, but after his arrival there it was in
sisted by gentlemen from other counties
that he should allow his name to be used,
and the solid vote of several counties was
rendered him. After Nlr. Clements had
been elected delegate at large, and Mr..
Moreland district delegate, and the vote was
being taken for the other district delegates
the candidates being Mr.. Hutton and Col.
Chew, the name of Mr. Q. W. Daily, of
Mineral county, was put forward, when Col.
Chew, although with every assurance of a
triumphant election, promptly arose and
briefly but eloquently withdrew his name,
stating that Jefferson county had already
been honored with one delegate in the per-
son of Mr. Clements, and moved that the
nomination of Mr. Daily be made by accla-
nation. His remarks were received with
round Of enthusiastic applause, showing
that he had made a marked impression upon
the convention Mr.. Hutton was then
withdrawn, and Mr.. Daily chosen delegate
Col. Chew was afterwards made alternate
without consent, by acclamation

OFFICIAL Report Concerning thu
Arizona Indian Troubles,

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The War De-
partment is in receipt Of the following
telegram from the Commandant at San
Carlos, Arizona, forwarded by General
Howard under date of July 29th: Cap
tain Lee, under a discretionary order
that had been given him prior to the re-
ceipt of your telegram of this date, has
just returned to, this post. He reports
that serious trouble resulted from quar-
rel among the Indians themselves.
Captain Lee remained upon the ground
until P. NJ. to-day, when he concluded
that the Indians were not disposed to
leave, and that his further presence tend
ed to excite them. Captain Lee then re-
turned to this post. From the Indians
Captain Lee learned that those ordered
to be arrested were seen near their
camps to-day, and he is of the opinion
and concur therein that these Indians
can be arrested quietly in few days.
The cattle herd is upon its grazing
ground undisturbed. Will send full
written report by Mondays mail. My
command is in readiness, and will move
at once if find it necessary.
Another dispatch forwarded by GEN
eral Howard from the commanding

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
CHICAGO, July 31.-A horrible double
tragedy was brought to light shortly after
midnight this morning, by the police,
when the dead bodies of Henry Husch,
a retired saloon keeper, and his wife,
we're found in their apartments, at $50
South Sangamon street. Both were well
past middle age, and were looked upon
by their neighbors as a happy couple.
They were last seen Saturday evening
sitting on the stoop. Sunday morning a
newsboy left the paper and the milkman
the days supply of milk. Lying neg
lected at the back door of the fiat, these
objects first attracted the attention OF the
neighbors. Late last night one OF the
neighbors notified the police, and two Of
icers were sent to investigate. They
broke open the front bedroom door, and
a sickening sight met their view. In an
alcove of the bedroom, lying in pool
of blood, lay the dead body Of
Mrs. Husch, clad in night dress.
Proceeding to the rear room, the officer
perceived a rope tied over the top of the
door frame. A vigorous push at the
door and it burst open and the officer was
nearly knocked off his feet by the body
of Husch, which was hanging there, the
feet almost touching the floor. Near by
sheet of newspaper daubed with blood
and butcherknife suggested the story Of
the tragedy. Husch had apparently
first killed his wife, then wiped the knife,
cut off piece of rope exactly long
enough to reach from the door-knob on
the inside over the door frame and allow
sufficient space for himself to hang. He
had tied the rope, shut the door and
proceeded to his self-murder. No reason
can be assigned for the tragedy. Every
thing around the room bespoke of com.
fort and there was no indication of any
struggle prior to the fearful crime.

THOUGHTS OF DYNAMITE.
The Palmer House Struck by Light
ming.

CHICAGO, July 31.-The guests of the
Palmer House were startled in their sleep
this morning at terrific clap like thun-
der, accompanied by very perceptible
shock in all parts of the house. Thoughts
of dynamite bombs and earthquakes
caused nearly all the guests to hurriedly
dress and crowd pell-mell through the
corridors. In the mean time the few
passers-by on the streets were kept busy
lodging flying splinters of timber. The
flagstaff on the northwest corner of the
building was found shattered to shivers
by lightning. Ropes were quickly
stretched across the sidewalk to keep pc.
destrians out of the possible danger of
some of the huge corners falling. Inves-
tigation showed, however, that the actual
damage done by the bolt was very slight,
notwithstanding the genuine scare given
the hundreds of people in the hotel.
