WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE following
appears in to-daY's New York Times :;
"Texas Is now in prosperous condl-
ton, - said Mr.. Julius RuDge of Calves
ton to Times reporter. ''After num-
Der of bad years, values touched bottom
in our state in 1888. -
He said: "Good crops last year
brought about change for the better 4,
and now from all sections come reports
of improved conditions. There has been
an unusual increase in the number of
national banks of late, and several
millions of capital have been
added. Texas offers inducements for
investors and settlers not excelled by
any other state. There are large bodies
of grazing lands well watered, which can
be bought for 81. rs and upward per acre
and good lands for cotton, wheat, corn
and oats are available at prices ranging
from 81 upward. Last year the state
taxes were only twenty cents on the 500.
Moneys invested for the school fund OF
Texas and the lands held by the state for
the same are estimated at $50, OO0, 200. -

named by you, said statement being
based upon the daily reports OF enumer-
ators, as made to this office during the
progress of the enumeration. The actual
count of population for these counties has
not been ascertained. but as soon as it is
you will be promptly notified. Special
pains will be taken to obtain the official
figures on population for those counties
where the estimated population is nearly
or quite 10, 900. Meanwhile, l think this
memorandum will be sufficiently indlca-
tive for your purposes.
In the case of those counties showing q
population of over 10 900. according TO
the enumerators' returns, l do not think
there Is any question but that the actual
reports will equal the amount stated,
aud in many cases will be il excess OF
those figures. Very respectfully,
ROBERT p. PORTER,
Superintendent of Census.

The Raum Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-George b.
Fleming was the first witness To-day be-
fore the committee investigating the
charges against Pension Commissioner
Raum.
Mr. Cooper asked if Butler Fitch had
not told him that Bradley Tanner had
given the names of six or seven pension
office employees who had refrigerator
stock.
Witness replied that Fitch had said SO,
and he (witness) had told it to Cooper,
as well as what Fitch had told him about
the deal with the Chinese legation. Wit
ness also heard Fitch tell Cooper that his
cheek turned pale when he read Tanners
testimony to Commissioner Raum. Wit
ness said that he had brought Cooper
where he could meet Fitch. Before the
resolutions for inquiry had been pre-
pared witness had assured Cooper that
the charges could be proved, but had not
mentioned Fitch's name, Witness had
written an article on the subject
which appeared in the Indianapolis
Sentinel and had supplied information
about the matter to the St. Louis Re-
public. Six or seven good men besides
Fitch had supplied witness with informa-
ton about the refrigerator, four of whom
were pension Office employees. The COM
missioner offered to get their names, but
Cooper and Lewis protested against the
question, the former saying that the
evident purpose was ''to get even'' with
the employees. The commissioner replied
that he desired to bring those men be-
fore the committee. Cooper said the
men had seen Bradley. Tanner was
stakeholder and that was now proved.
Continuing, witness said that he had sent
men to Tanner to talk with him and
bring the information to him [witness).
He desired to use it in his newspaper
business. He had been an employe in
the office himself and knew the men to be
reliable. That was last spring. His OBJ
jeot was not particularly to ''put I'D
to get at the truth. Witness
finally left the pension Office January
% last. Never had any personal feeling
against the com missioner, nor had he
said that he was gong after the commits
sioner because of his discharge. Had
said that he would get even with the man
who got him out. Theodore Smith had
done it. Witness was then dismissed.
The commissioner denied that Leman
had Endorsed note for him at the
Second national bank in addition to
the National Bank of the Republic.
The chairman having ascertained that
amined, announced that the case was
closed and the committee will at once
begin the preparation of its report.

Republican County Convention,

The Republican County Conven-
tion held at Ellendale on Tuesday.
May 9th, to place in nomination a
candidate for County Superintend-
ent Of Schools, was we'll attended,
every precinct IN the county beng
represented, with the exception Of
7 Yorktown and Wright townships.
The convention was called to order
by 7. H. Faus, of Ludden, and prN
ceedsd to elect temporary chair
man by roll call, the result standing
as follows: Al. Cole, of Monango
Sc votes; G. S. Brown, OF Ludden,
81. o. M. Botsford, of Oakes, was
made temporary secretary.
On motion committee on
credentials consisting of Messrs.
Dickie, Richie, Bristol, Newton and
Baker was appointed. A committee
Of fiye consisting Of Messrs. Lock.
hart, kellogg, S. H. Martin, Pritch-
ard and b. Il. Martin were appoint
ed on permanent organization. Af-
ter some little delay the committee
on credentials reported and were
discharged. The committee on per-
manent organization recommended
that the temporary organization be
made permanent, the convention
approving by a unanimous vote.
After some little sparring the con-
vention proceeded to take an infor-
NAL ballot for Supt. Of Schools,
which resulted as follows: John
Kelley receiving 50 votes; Miss
Jessie r. Hutslnplller, %; Mrs.
John VanHorn, 6; A. j. Cole, 4:
total votes cast, go. On motion the
informal ballot was made formal
by viva voce,' and motion to
make the nomination Of John Kel-
ley unanimous was put and carried
without dissenting voice. Mr..
Kelley on being called upon, ex-
pressed his thanks to the conven-
tion in few neat and well-chosen
remarks, and the convention ad-
Ejourned.
Oakes weekly Republican. (Oakes, Dickey County, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1883-1898, 1890-05-30

When Prof. Kelley made his
speech in the convention stating
that he was not owned or controlled
by G. G. Bows6eld Or any of his ilk
Of political tricksters lie very much
strengthened himself with all good
Republicans present. It proved
Mr.: Kelley to be a man of nerve
and all admire him the more for
owning that he was ashamed of
those who follow ill his political
wake simply for the prestige and
spoils they hope to gain. If the
truth Was known Bowsfield is held
in about the same esteem by the
better class of politicians at Ellen
dale as he was when -ren out of LA
Moure Il few years ago. He is Il
traitor not only to the party but
every man it nonliiiates when he
cannot Use them to serve the i'll
terests Of G. G. Bowsield. @
Oakes weekly Republican. (Oakes, Dickey County, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1883-1898, 1890-05-30

The RepublicaA convention met
pursuant to call on the 27th inst.
and placed in nomination Prof.
John Kelley for County Superin-
tendent of Schools. MIR. Kelley is
a gentleman well known through
out the western part Of Dickey
county yHand we are assured is we'll
qualified to fill the position Of
County Superintendent with honor
/ to himself, with credit to Dickey
county and benefit to the schools
and educational interests thereof.
In Ellendale, Mr.. Kelley's home, he
is respected and esteemed by all and
is looked upon as broad-guaged
man, an educator Of more than Or
dinary ability, and one who if elect
ed will earnestly and impartially
fulfill the duties Of the office. The
delegates from the east end of the
county had a candidate, a lady Of
eminent qualifications, whom they
felt called upon to support in the
convention. There was also some
apprehension that Mr.: Kelley's can
didacy was inaugurated and pushed
forward by one or two men in Ellen
dale who as non-residents of the
county could not have the educa-
tional interests Of -Dickey county at
heart, but wished to secure Mr. Kel-
ley's nomination solely for the pur-
pose Of gaining political prestige
for themselves, and for their own
future ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Mr.. Kel-
ley's public denial of any political
afiliation with those men and his
statement that he was under no OBJ
legation to them for his position be-
fore the people, was manly and
earnest, and the; delegates from the
east end felt sure'of the correctness
of his statements. The REpUBL1-
CAN feels confident that every dele
gate from eastern Dickey county
will give Mr.. Kelley their earnest
and candid support and that he will
get rousing majority from Oakes
and surrounding townships. The
Office Of County Superintendent is
the most important one in the
county-there is no question about
this-it directly concerns every par
ent and every home. The instruc.
tion and training of our children
should be paramount to every other
interest. We'hepe, therefore, that
the voters will take an interest in
this matter and turn out on election
day, giving Mr.. Kelley a rousihg
vote, as we feel certain his election
will mean better organization and
a higher standard for our schools.
