Commissioner Weir also stated yesterday
that every effort was being made to solve
the mystery. and he feels sure of finding
the murderers. He said some people were
trying to throw cold water on the story OF
poisoning, but declared that at the right
time, when all the facts were known, there
would be no doubts left, even to the most
skeptical
Dr. G. G. Wiley, specialist in nervous
diseases, who wss called in consultation
about ten days before Gamble Weir's death,
says he does not believe he was poisoned,
because no arrests have yet been made. He
had, however, only been there once, and
that was over a week before Weir's death

In the First District Convention at Spring
field there was square fight between Hill

draw. DIR. A. c. Dean, of Greenfield, who
was elected delegate by acclamation, is
Cleveland man. j. j. Curran, of Holyoke,
the other delegate, would not commit him.
self and both parties claim him. Inasmuch
as he was nominated by a man who eulo-
gized Senator Hill, and as he was opposed
strongly by the Cleveland men, it is safe to
class him as an anti-Cleveland delegate.
At Worcester Senator John r. Thaver
was chosen as an avowed Russell delegate,
beating the Cleveland candidate by vote
of 65 to 2S. The other delegate, John
O'Gara, OF Spencer, is also a Russell dele
gate. Cleveland delegates were elected in
the Eleventh, Second and Sixth districts
The Ninth was carried by Hillmen after
spirited contest.

THE vICE-PREs1DENCY.

The Republican party has closed up its
lines and is now fairly before the coun-
try with ticket possessing elements of
strength that in our opinion will make it
resistless. The nomination of Mr.. White
law Reid of New York for the Vice
Presidency was a fitting conclusion of
the good work done in nominating Gen
eral Harrison for the Presidency.
Mr.. Reid is man who has won his
way from a very lowly beginning by
dint of hard labor, native ability, fixity
of purpose and cleanliness of life and
method to level of high rank, intel
lectually and politically. His simple
merit won him success in journalism it
was not seeking for, but call to the
place that gave him position upon the
New York Tribune. Horace Greeley,
without suggestion, chose him from the
crowd of hard-working, courageous
young newspaper men to become his
close associate, and later the Tribune. by
natural and legitimate processes, fell
under his supreme control.
Mr.. Reid, by his intellectually. has
gained deserved reputable place in liter
ature; by his business ability and deyo-
ton he saved and rehabilitated a great
journal; by his manliness, clean life and
upright bearing he wop esteem and re-
spect in business circles, and by his clear
judgment, practical sense and political
wisdom, he became the Minister of the
greatest to the youngest of Republics,
where he developed diplomatic skill of
such fine quality as enabled him to solve
problems of utmost difficulty, and to re-
store an important commerce with
France that had been wholly cut off. He
won in France the profound esteem of

SAN FRANCISCO is not without i'm
portance in the coffee trade. OF this lux
ury over 100000 pounds were imported
IN 1891, over 100000 pounds of which
came from the plantations of Central
America. The importation of 1891 ex-
ceeded that of 1890 by about 100000
pounds. Upward Of four and a quarter
million pounds were shipped out of San
Francisco by rail, about three-fourths of
which went beyond the Missouri River.
1t would seem that the consumption of
coffee on this coast annually is, say about
100000 pounds.
