This is the ticket nominated by the
Republicans of Minneapolis at their
city convention yesterday. The selec-
ton for mayor is that of man who has
commended himself TO his party rather
by his negative qualities than by his
personal popularity. His nomination
is due directly TO the combination OF the
old soldier and temperance elements.
a. j. Blethen. who represents the bus
mess men and the liberal wing, whose
nomination would have been most
favorable to the voters generally, was
sent to the wall by the influences when
grew out of personal animOsItleS, which
he seems to have cultivated during his
career as an editor. The balance OF the
nominees will be acceptable to those
who vote the Republican ticket by IN
stinct OF from tradition, and Will
not be likely to draw even
from the independent class OF voters
VINO are apt TO disregard party lines IN
local politics. The convention per
formed its work with a fair degree OF
unanimity. but there were some dis
SentiOnS that will yet cause trouble
within the party. Particularly is this
true OF the aIdermanic nominations.

MILWAUKEE, September 5.-The demo,
cratic state convention met this afternoon
and organized, with W. H. Seaman as per-
manent chairman. His Opening address
was devoted principally to an attack upon
the republican party.
With reference to protection the follow
ing platform was adopted:
The democrats of Wisconsin hereby de-
clare their approval of the administration
and especially of the efforts of President
Cleveland to reduce taxation to the needs
of the government. They reaffirm the
principles enunciated in their platform
adopted in May last. They heartily in
dorse the action of the national demo-
cratic convention and its nominees and
its platform.
They believe that reduction is the issue
of this campaign, and that the people
should insist upon the moderate reduction
Of taxes suggested in the presidents
message. They believe that the interests
of all producers, whether in the field or
workshop, are with the democratic party,
the party of low taxes. They are opposed
10 sumptuary laws as an unjust abridgment
of the inalienable rights of the
citizen. The democrats of Wiscon-
sin stand upon those declarations,
and invite all voters to cooperate
with this effort to reduce taxation. They
especially invite the aid of the 5000
young men in Wisconsin who have be-
come voters since 1884, and whose futures
we're mortgaged by war debts, to cast
their votes with the party that is dealing
with present business conditions, and not
with a theory or with sentiment or
prejudice engendered by questions that
have long since been settled.

nominated for governor on the first bal

CAMP PERRY.

Description of the Camp for Refugees
From Jacksonville, Fla.
New YORK, September "a special
from Camp Perry, near Jacksonville, Fla,
says the camp is splendidly located on a
hill in fine, airy spot, but badly arranged
and managed. There are 1872 old army
tents, 6x5 feet, with two stretcher cots in
each. A band of canvas raised on
elevated wires. serves as a pillow, with a
horse rug for cover. Meu are given
single aud women double blankets
Ninety-fve per cent of the tents are
leaky. The food is fair, but poorly
cooked. A large crowd of low negroes
are hanging around, and, to prevent the
place from becoming II camp for
negro loafers, a commissioned officer
should be sent to take charge
At present there are 16S people in camp;
ninety colored-and not contented man
or woman in tho crowd. About 300 yards
from the main camp is the hospital with
one patient, Mrs. Mckee. Surgeon-gen-
eral Hamilton has been seen and conferred
with and gone away, but the people of
Jacksonville are just where they were be-
fore, save that they have secured some
promises. No train out, except to the
health camp, will be run.

WACO, September 6.-Mr. j. X. Street
and his daughter, Mrs. j. L. Wallace, ar
rived in Waco this morning from Craw-
ford, Tex, where they went from Dallas
on Tuesday night. Mr.. Street and Mrs.
Wallace have been searching for the
whereabouts of Mr.. j. Wallace, the son-in-
law of Mr.. Street, who left Fort Worth
for Dallas on last Monday. Not returning
at the appointed time, and receiving no
word from him since his departure his
wife and father in-law became apprehen-
sive. They went to Dallas from Fort
Worth on Tuesday morning, and spent
man, but failed to find him, or gather any
information of his whereabouts. Mr..
Street then went to Crawford, where Mr..
Wallace's father lives, thinking probably
he might ascertain something from that
source, but failed to gather any light
upon the matter. He than came over to
Waco, and consumed good part of to-
day in making thorough search
of the city, but without avail.
The matter was then placed in charge
of the Hall d Waller Detective agency,
here, and Mr.. Street and his daughter left
this evening on the north bound Missouri
Pacific train for their home in Fort
Worth. Mr.. Street and Mr.. and Mrs.
Wallace all have an extensive acquaint-
auoe and many friends in Waco, having
formerly lived here for number of years,
and his daughter and son-in-law
we're united in marriage in this
city. Mr.. Street and daughter,
are somewhat apprehensive in regard to
the fate of Mr.. Wallace, from the fact that
he had just recovered from spell of fever
when he left Fort Worth, and he might
probably have been stricken down with a
relapse and is suffering from temporary
mental troubles, which is often peculiar
to severe attacks of fever.

RICHMOND, September 6.-After the at

Jack Taylor, who had declined to leave the
county when advised by the committee
last night, left this morning for Wharton
where he said he was going to consult

TExARKANA, September 6.-The celebra-
ton of the democratic victory in Miller
county tonight was a complete success.
The torohlight procession, after marching
through the principal streets, halted at
the speakers stand which had been erected
III State Line avenue. The streets
were crowded with people, and the neigh
boring windows and verandas were
crowded with ladies aud children.
Hon. w. L. Atkinson, the Arkansas at
torney-general elect, had addressed the
crowd in an eloquent manner, and Mr..
s. O. McRae, member of congress OF
this district, had been introduced to the
audierce and commenced his speech, when
the cry of fire rang out and large volumes
of smoke issued from two-story brick
building, only few doors from the au-
dence, occupied by l.. O. Demorse as a
dry goods and variety store. The entire
contents of the store seemed to be en-
veloped in flames in an instant. But in a
few minutes lnrge streams of water
both from the east and west side water
works flooded the building, quickly ex-
tinguished the fire. Demorse's stock is
estimated at about $4,000 or $4,000.
The goods saved are in ruined condi-
tion; insurances $4,000, distributed
among various companies. The house
was owned by j. NJ. Meagher, and the
damage on it was said to be $1,000, Gov
cred by insurance. Levy d. Bro, wholesale
liquor dealers, occupied the adjoining
room on the west, and claim to have lost
several hundred dollars by damage and
removal of goods.
Demorse is in New York buying goods.
After the fire was mastered, Mr.. McRea
concluded his speech about IL O'Clock,
and the people were dispensing to their
homes when the alarm of fire rang forth
again. 1t proved TO be the storehouse
owned by I. II. Humphreys and occupied
by Martz d Wallace, situated on State
Line avenue, in the suburbs of the city.
The house and contents are
total loss, $4,000; partially
insured. The city officials are busy
Investigating the origin of these fires.
During the excitement several parties
we're held up and robbed near the Texas

three suspicious characters, the supposed
robbers, and placed them in jail. Yester-
