ciplOs:
First-We demand the full remon-

nominees Of their conventions.

tors to support no man for President
or Vice-PresidenI of the United States

free coinage as defined by this Con-

Leagues OF Nevada, in convention as
sembled, the right Of directing said
Presidential Electors for whom te
cast their votes, should contingencies
require.

. Worlds Fair Com missioner Russell
received very interesting letter on
Sunday, from Mr.. E. G. Morrison, Of
Eureka, Nevada, ia regard to making
an exhibit OF the mineral resources of
our Slate at the Worlds Columbian
Exposition.
Mr.. Morrison and DR.. Snider, OF
Eureka, have two of the finest mineral
collections in the State, and perhaps
in the world, aud they are willing to
loan them tn the State for the pur-
pose OF making proper showing Of
our mineral resources at Chicago.
These collections comprise speci-
mons from all parts of Nevada and
the islands of the sea. Mr.. Morrison
has arranged his cabinet into q min-
erai alphabet, a unique feature,
which would attract a good deal Of
attention from visitors to the expo
sition and be the means Of calling
the attention Of capitalists to the
BtSoV uihOL al GOoOukCOS VI OuE EoIhL0.
All Mr.. Morrison asks for the use
OF his cabinets is that he be appointed
to take charge of. the State mineral
exhibit Mt n salary not to exceed $3.50
per month and transportation Of him
Eelf and collection to and from Chi
cago. o. .....-.
Mr.. Russell sent the letter to. Mr..
Skiff, of Colorado, chief Of the mining
bureau, and it is hoped that como
steps will be taken by the proper
authorities to have these collections
placed on exhibition at Chicago
where they would not fail to attract
the attention OF people from all parts
OF the world, who visit the greatest
Exposition the world has ever seen.

Great loss of life and property IN the

from sleep-Acres upon acres of fame
Terror stricken stampades for safety
Scores swept down the stream-No
word sent down to Oil City where ten
hours later thousands were watching
the flood, and in a twinkling of an eye
the town was ahame and thousands
were in pell NEIL rush for safety
Hundreds are missing and many OF
them thought to be dead-A strip forty

stream between the two towns is IN

In danger.
For eighteen miles along the famous
OIL Creek In Pennsylvania fire crested

A dam seven miles above Titusville

WASHINGTON. D. c., June 9th, 1892.
A sensation is no name for the furore
created here by the resignation of Sec.
rotary Blaine, and 1T Is raging to- day
with the same intensity with which it
started. 1t was not, of course, entirely
unexpected, owing to the persistentcy of
at least two members of the cabinet
Secretary Foster and Attorney general
Miller-in publicly sneering at Mr..
Blalne's accomplishments for this adj
ministration. Mr.. Blaine is too high
strung man to stand such treatment
without protesting, and his resignation
is a protest with vengeance for 1t
will, if Washington opinions count for
anything, make HIM the nominee of his
party, thus keeping MIR, Harrison out
of what he might have had if his friends
had been more tactful.
1t is believed that had Mr.. Blaine
been properly treated by the friends of
Mr.. Harrison he intended at the proper
time to have positively forbidden the
use of his name as a candidate and to
have thrown lis influence to the Presi-
dent, which would certainly have re-
NJ.
but when Messrs. Foster, Miller and
the small fry of the kitchen cabinet
began to cast slurs In public interviews
upon Mr.. Blame and his work and to
boast of Mr.. Harrison's ability to down
Mr.. Blame in a stand up fight before
the convention. as they did a few days
ago, they aroused the fighting blood Of

which would have been omitted had
the Presidents foresight been equal to
his hlndsight, as the saying Is. 1t is
but another case to be added to many
gone before in which the TOOL friends OF
public men have by injudicions utter
ances spoiled bright prospects. Mr.
Harrison recognizes the mistake that
his friends made and has ordered the
abuse of Mr.. Blaine's stopped. This
order will probably help the republican
party, but Mr.. Harrison's own chances
are considered beyond help.
The investigation of the Census Bu-
