tore cordially approve of the clear and
LofclDle expressions of the convention
upon this subject. The law should
naYe the aid of a friendly interpreta-
ton and be faithfully and vigorously
should be absolutely free from
partisan considerations and IN
huence. Some extensions of the
classified list are practicable and
desirable and further legislation ex-
tending the reform to other branches
OF the service TO which it is applicable,
would receive my approval. In ap-
polntmentS to every grade and depart
ment fitness and not party service
should be the essential and diScrimi
mating test, and fidelity and efficiency
the only sure tenure of Office. Only the
interests of the public service should
suggest the removal from Office. 1
know the practical difficulties attend
ing the attempt to apply the spirit of
the civil service rules to appointments
and removals. 1t viii be my sincere
purpose If elected to advance the re
form.
l notice with pleasure that the con-
yention did not omit to express its So
hc1tude Tor the promotion of virtue and
temperance among our people. The
republican party has always been
| friendly to everything that tended to
| make the home life of our people free
and prosperous, and will in the future
ne true to It's history in this respect.
Our relations with foreign powers
should be characterized by friendliness
and respect. The right of our people
| and OF our ships to hoSpitable treat
ment should be insisted upon with dig
| nifty and hrmneSs. Our nation is toe
| great both in material strength and in
moral power to indulge in bluster or to
be suspected of timOrousness; vacilla-
ton and Inconsistency are as incom-
patible with successful diplomacy as
they are with the national dignity. We
should especially cultivate and extend
our diplomatic and commercial
relations with the central
and South American States.
Our fisheries should be foStered and
protected and the hardships and risks
that are the necessary incidents of the
business should not be increased by an
unacceptable exclusion from the near
lying ports. The resources of a firm,
| dign1fied and consistent diplomacy are
undoubtedly equal to the prompt and
peaceful solution of the difficulties
that now exist. Our neighboTs will
surely not expect in our ports COM
mercial hospitality they deny to us in
| theirs.
| l cannot extend this letter by a spec
laI reference to other subjects upon
which the convention gave an express
sion. In respect TO them, as well as to
those have noticed, am in entire
agreement with the declaI Stions of the
| convention. The resolutions relating
to the coinage, TO the rebuilding
OF the navy, to coast defense
and To public lands express con-
illusions, to all of which gave my
support in the senate.
Inviting calm and thoughtful con-
siderati0n of the public questions, we
submit them to the people and their in
tellIgent patriotism, and the good Prov
idence that made and has kept us a
nation will lead them to wise and
safe conclusion. Very truly your
| Obedient servant,

Indians Signing the Treaty.

LOWER BRULE AGENCY, OAK, Sept.
| 12.-Yesterday was Il great day at this
agency. and the efforts of the COM
missiOners and the agent have been
crowned with a glorious success. Two
hundred and twenty-five signatures
| have been secured for the ratification
of the Sioux bill, the way being led by
a number of the prominent chiefs.
| Chief Bull had made the first speech
in which he urged his people TO grasp
the hand of the great father that his
people might secure those things which
| they Sorely needed to build up happy.
| prosperous and comfortable homes. lie
| said the Indians had plenty of land
and could well afford to dispose of a
share that the Indians might have
schools and educate their children and
start them out in life in the proper
direction. The time had come when it
was necessary for the red men to aban-
| don the old ways and follow in the
foot steps of their white neighbors, and
| this offer of the great father afforded
them an opportunity to do SO. Judge
| Wright and MIR. Cleveland both follow
| ed with urgent pleas for the Indians to
come forward and accept this
offer that the great father and his
council were presenting to the Indians
| of tue Sioux nation. and stated that to-
| day was the day for signing. A num-
Der of chiefs then came forward and.
| after making speeches on the bill, came
up to the table and signed, the first
signer being Iron Nest. The best feel
ing prevailed throughout and nothing
was done by either faction of the In
dams To intimidate or threaten the
other. The best elements, the indus
triOub and the educated classes are
| heartily in favor of the ratification of
the bill, and they have managed their
forces skillfully and to the best posi-
bic advantage. They have kept COM
parativeiy quiet up to yesterday, and
when signatures we're called for their
speakers at once got up, and after earn
est and enthusiastic speeciles walked
up and signed, giving the obstruction
lists but little opportunity to make
known their objections. The conse-
quence was that three-fourths of the
Indians at this agency were enrolled
before hardly dissenting voice was
heard. 1t is believed they will all be
enrolled by tomorrow. The commits

TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Sept. TO-
Yesterday morning Frank Morting, a
barber who came to this city six months
ago from Cincinnati, called at the
home of Lena Weber, to whom he
had been paying attention, and CON-
mitted suicide in her presence. The
girl heard he was a married man and
recently told him he would have to
quit coming. Yesterday afternoon he
called to have her receive him again. In
this he was unsuccessful. She adj
mitted him to the parlOr and after she
positively refused TO longer receive
his visits he took out a pencil and be-
gan writing on piece of paper. When
he had finished he pulled out a revolt
yer and, holding it to his right temple,
fired. lie fell dead on the floor.

often leading in entirely different di-
rections, it Is difficult il not impossible
TO settle upon perfect tariff plan.
But in accomplishing the reform we
entered upon, the necessity of which is
so obvious, believe we should not be
content with reduction of revenue
involving the prohibition of importa-
tions and the removal of the internal
tax upon whisky. 1t can be better and
more safely done within the lines of
granting actual relief to the people in
their means Of living and at the same
time giving an impetus to our domes-
tic enterprises and furthering our
national welfare. If misrepresenta-
lions of our purposes and
motives are TO gain credance and defeat
our present effort in this direction.
there seems to be no reason why every
endeavOr in the future to accomplish
revenue reform should not be likewise
attacked and with like results. Aud

tempt of court. w. !. Price, another
commissioner, is charged with the
same OtfenSe, but sickness prevented
his presence. These men are a por-
ton Of the temporary officers of
kearney county, appointed by Gov
ernor Martin, who also designated
Lakin as the temporary county
seat. An election for permanent cOun-
ty seat and county officers was held in
July. Omaha, Laken and Hartland
were candidates for. county seat, but
neither received a majority. tits de-
clared that the Omaha nominees for
county officers were elected, but thus
far the court has been unable to
compel the commissioners to count the
vote and a writ Of mandamus was
issued to compel a count, but only
one commissioner could be found
ed by an alias writ, aud this in turn by
a pluris writ, but none of them have
been of any avail thus tar, and when
the papers were turned over to the
sheriff the officials had disappeared.
The sheriff followed them to Topeka,
when they turned up in Laken, and
when he returned to Laken they were
heard of in Colorado.
