A Letter from President Cleveland Read
Before the Convention.
CHICAGO, Feb. l9.-About four hun
dred delegates are in attendance at the
National Tariff Reform convention row
in session in this city. Prominent
among the delegates are Ex-Governor j,
Sterling Morton, President Burrows, of
the Nebraska Farmers Alliance, Henry
George and e. q. Sherman. Secretary
White claims an attendance of 1000 by
tomorrow. An autograph letter from
President Cleveland was read in which
he says:
.'The declared purpose of your
league will not be attained until
all those interested in the eco.
nomic question are freed from all
sopliistry and c~louding fallacies, and
until the subject of tariff reform is pre-
sented to them as a topic involving the
relief of the plain people of the land in
their homes from useless and unjust ex-
pense. The danger which we have to
guard against is the misleading of our
countrymen by specious theories Gun
ningly contrived, and falsely offering to
the people relief from present burdens
and legitimate expense necessary to se-
cur the benefits of a beneticient rule
under the sanction of free institutions.
The question is a simple and plain one,
and needs but to be fairly presented to
be understood. 1t is the positive duty
of your organization to guard the peo-
pie against deception. My extreme in
terest in the work which your league
has undertaken, and in the expressed
objects of tho proposed convention,
would lead me to accept your invitation
II it We're possible to do SO, but my pub
lie duties here positively prevents az
c~eDtance.r

Ripc for Riot.

HELENA, Mont, Feb. 19.-There is
likely to be serious trouble, attended
with fatal results, in the Castle mining
camp if the Cumberland company does
rot liquidate their indebtedness to the
miner6 who have been in their employ.
but are lying idle on account Of the
closing down of the property. There
came near being a lynching a few days
ago. ard the miners are worked up to a
high pitch of excitement and in a dan
gerous mood. The sale of the bullion
took place, and at that time there were
$4,000 worth of labor liens. The attach
ments of the other creditors covered this
bullion, and when the sale WI conclud-
ed, 81, 400 being realized, the money was
turned yer to the merchant creditors
and none paid to the miners, Natur-
ally the men were furious. Manager
King was present, and as he started to
leave in a buggy some one asked if the
miners would be paid. He made a re-
ply that still further incensed the men,
and they made a rush for the buggy.
and if King had not whipped up his
horses rapidly and drove away he would
undoubtedly have been lynched. Left
to themselves, bafiied and disappointed,
and under the influence of whisky, a
scene ensued which is said to have been
beyond description. King was hung in
etigy, and many fights occurred be-
tween successful aud unsuccessful cred
itors. The situation is critical, and
there is a possibility Of a riot.

nARRISON'S CABINET.
The Eight Gentlemen Who Have
Been Decided Upon.
THE SLATE OPEN ToCHANGE
That There win BE Any Is Not Likely
Maine, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois,
Missouri. Indiana, Pennsylvania,
and New York Represented.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. l9.-There is every
reason to believe hat Gen. Harrison
viii not make public the names of his
cabinet officers until after his inaugur-
alton. In the circumstances nothing of
an official character can be obtained.
There IRE excellent grounds for stating,
however, that the eight executive
officers have been decided upon and IN
less it is deemed advisable to change the
list between now and March 4, the nom
nations of the following named will be
sent to the senate:
Secretary of State-James G. Blaine.
Secretary Of the Treasury-Wm. Win
dom, Minnesota.
Secretary of War-Jeremiah Rusk,
Wisconsin.
Secretary of the Navy. r. Thomas,
Illinois.
secretaryof the Interior j. w. Noble,
Missouri.
Attorney GeneTal-W. III. Fl. Miller,
Indiana.
Postmaster General - John Wanna
maker, Pennsylvania.
Secretary of observation-disclosures
Miller, New York.
Friends of the president.el elect believe
that this is the list, and that it will
stand, unless Mr.. Miller declines the
agricultural portfolio.
h News, referring to the list as
given above, says.
This is the cabinet of the Harrison adj
nimistration, IL ii appears within the
next few days that there is any good
reason why n or two of the men who
have been chosen donbtfully, should not
be taken into the circle of presidential
advisers, changes ma be made, but it
is understood at this time, after having
carefully considered all information con-
corning them that could be, obtained, it
is not the intention of the p~resident-elecr
60 make any changes. However, it is
still within his power to leave out n
or all of the men rained except MI.
Blaine, without breaking any promise,
and all offers of cdbinet positions will,
it is said, be held under his
control for q few days longer.
1t is with this reservation that intima-
tons of his intentions have been com
inundated to the gentleman who have
been chosen, and their friends. In
making his selection Gen. Harrison has
been extremely cautious, but still he has
disregarded political influences and CON
siderations that would have been deter
mining forces with other men. Back of
the cabinet, which must be expected to
be a disappointment, there is supposed
to be an idea peculiarly Gen. Harrison's
own, and in that idea there is a priei-
pie. The Key to it all will be found in his
inaugural address, in which will be very
the evil szzssffirr
principles which It, has been deter
mined shall ctaraeterize the adininistra-
ton throughout, from the cabinet down
to the lower branches of the civil service.
A reporter by inquiring among
gentlemen who are very close TO the
president-elect respecting the names
given, established to his satisfaction that
the list, while not official, pressed that
point very closely, hence it is given as
the best probable information obtaina-
bic on the subject at this time.

An Important case

Bismarck Tribune: An opinion OF
considerable importance was handed
down by the supreme court yesterday.
The case grew out of an election held in
Sargent county in 1884, to determine
the permanent location of the county
seat. The towns OF Forman and Minor
were the principal competing points; the
face OF the returns showed that Forman
had not received q majority OF all the
votes cast, which left the county seat at
Minor where it had been temporarily
located. But Formsn claimed that gross
frauds had been perpstrnted in Minor
voting precinct, by stufing the ballot
box and other such frauds. The action
was madamus against the board OF coun-
ty commissioner; upon the application
of j. A. Walsh, the district attorney land
Miller & Green OF Fargo, for counsei,the
county II its corporate capacity was
allowed to intercede and become q party
to the action. The district court
found the frauds as charged and
decided that Former was the Iseal
county seat. From that judgment and
decision the iDterveners, by their said
counsel, appealed to the supreme court.
The attorneys for Forman moved to dis
miss the appeal upon the h.ound that
Intervention was without authority, that
neither Walsh nor Green had any n
thority to appeal and that the present
board OF county commissioners had
adopted resolutions authorizing the ap.
zeal to be dismissed. After full and
protracted argument by Judge WaIiin,
OF Ball Wallin, and Smith vi Fargo, aud
Geo F. Goodwin OF Goodwin, Van Pelt
and Gammons OF Libson, attorneys for
Forman. and M. W. Green, attorney for
Minor, the motion was granted and She
appeal dismissed. This result settles q
very yexed question TO the people OF
Sargent county and leaves the county
seat located OF Formap.

Solicitor Blythe, of the Chicago, Bur

when Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas,

They will not pay rates above those
charged in a neighboring state. That is
the only thing remaining to be done,
and it will bankrupt every trunk line in
the west. We will have to retrench in
every way possible, local trains will be
cut off; must be, because they have not

reduction in Iowa rates, if extended to
the states named, and it is likely to be
done, will ruin the roads"
