Total,

Chippewa, Lincoln. Martin and
Pipestone counties were not repre-
Sented.
Some question arose as TO the vote
and the counties were again polled.
For the sake of harmony and
peace, a motion of MIR. Thornton to
make Mr. Wilkinson the unanimous
nominee of the convention, was unan-
imously carried. AS Mr.. Wilkinson
was found not to be in the room, a
committee was dispatched for him.
His entrance created some applause,
which was renewed when he was in
troduced. He thanked the cOnven-
tion for it's honor to him. He hoped
that the meeting would show good
Judgment. as the campaign would in
some respects be different from any
ever had. The oldest party in the
land has remained unsullied from the
days of Thomas Jefferson until the
present. 1t has made some mistakes,
as all parties have, but has stood by
its one or two fundamental principles.
Some new ideas not formerly discuss
ed are coming into this campaign.
The Republican party has become
since the war the monopoly party and
has destroyed the great principle
laid down by Thomas Jefferson and
made it party of special privileges,
throwing wealth and power into the
hands of a few people. 1t has become
worse and worse until it has become
unblushing in it's contempt of the
people. Who ever heard until recent
ly that there could be private police
and military, or that an English cap
italist could bring in foreign military
forces. The Pioneer Press winks at it,
and calls the protest of the people
against it anarchy. He would remove
the cause of such things. He paid an
eloquent tribute to Gladstone, in his
endeavors for home rule. Since the
Mckinley bill passed there have been
473 strikes for the reduction of wages.
l hope you will nominate man hav-
ing these ideas in his head, and who
will show that the protective tariff is
a delusion and fraud.
Fred Pf9nder, of Brown, was elect
ed secretary, and Mr.. Lindstrom as
sistant secretary.

Chairman after a Tie
on the Contest for
the Organization.

a special train from St. Peter over
the Omaha arrived Tuesday morning
atabout eight o'clock, bringing a hun
dred St. Peter people, ladies as well
as gentlemen, and drum corps. All
wore badges with the words "Our St.
Julien" and the picture of a large red
rooster in the center. The drum corps
did good service in front of the Cox
headquarters on the first floor of The
Saulpaqgh. Both Mr.. Cox and his
son were on the ground.
1t was ascertained that L. G. Long,
the Peoples party nominee, had one
or two delegations.
There was great uncertainty as to
the outcome of the convention when
the delegates to the Democratic Con-
gressional convention assembled at
the city hall at ten o'clock this fore
noon. No one could give any idea as
TO the probable successful candidate.
Judge Porter called the convention
TO order promptly on time and as
chairman of the central committee
read the official call
j. j Thornton nominated VanBur-
an Crane, of Jackson, as chairman,
and G. B. Trowbridge nominated
Morton S. Wilkinson, of Wells. The
former was favored by the Hammond
men and the latter by the Cox dele
gates.
Mr.. Thornton moved that the bal
lot be taken by call of counties.
Albert Lindstrom, of Nicollet, was
chosen secretary, and the roll was
then called. The result was as fol-

The exhibits which form the feature
of the ninth annual exposition are now
in perfect order for the opening next
Wednesday, when Gilmore's band with
100 pieces win give a grand concert,
which will be attended not only by
thousands of visitors, but also by the
governors of Missouri and other states,
each accompanied by large suite. As
Gilmore's New York engagement does
not terminate until Tuesday morning, it
has been necessary to charter a special
train to bring him here in time for the
opening on the evening of September
z. The train will bring the largest as
we'll as the finest band ever heard in
the west, and it is safe to say that the
playing of one hundred skilled musi-
clans under the leadership of the great
est band master of the day will afford
a musical treat such as has never been
attempted heretofore in the west. IGi5st

LONDON, Sept 3.-President Harri-
sons circular relative to the quarantin-
ing of vessels carrying immigrants finds
general approval here. There is some
feeling of envy also that the American
law enables the government to take
such prompt and thorough steps to stop
the importation of cholera
The cholera in Great Britain seems to
have been fairly mastered The chief
physician of the local government board
told an Associated Press representative
yesterday that the outlook was entirely
satisfactory. esaid that although about
thirty cases of cholera at all the ports
of Great Britain had been dealt with
during the last ten days, there was
no single instance of the disease
spreading beyond the person first at
tackled. While it has been proved that
every case of cholera occurring in this
country was contracted abroad and that
the medical board put its best face on
the situation, still the fact is palpable
to everybody that the public has become
utterly unconcerned and has become
imbued with the conviction that the
disease win not be allowed to spread
and that it viii never assume an cpl
demic form.

WISE COURT HOUSE, Va Sept. g.
Talt Hall, the notorious desperate,
slept but little last night and at
daybrealI this morning he was wake
full and nervous. He was not defiant
or staggering as yesterday, but child
ish, petulant coward He refused TO
eat any food, but drank cup of coffee
and then called for whisky
Father Luclxie entered the cell ut an
early hour and remained with the
doomed man until the last minute.

died in seventeen minutes after the
drop fell. He made a speech from the
scaffold- His neck was broken. No
attempt was made by his friends to
rescue
Talt Hall was one of the most noted
desperadocs i'm the district He had
killed twenty people in the last ten
years and admitted having killed five.
The crime for which he was executed
to-day was the murder in cold blood of

with contrary winds, high seas and ter
rife storms, he reluctantly consented to
give up his efforts after a struggle of
sixty-two days, and returned to Ameri-
ca on bark which kindly consented to
take him and his sea beaten boat back
to New York.
The captain is very interesting char
acter. He is man of fixed purposes,
very hard to turn from the object which
he has in view. He has made the sub
ject of small boat sailing such study
that he is prepared to meet every argu-
ment against the risks which spring to
the minds of his critics, yet the New
York Herald put the case in nutshell
when it said: ''The fact that Capt. An
drews can cross the ocean in a cookie
shell merely proves that small boats are
safe when Capt. Andrews sails them.
Amateurs should remember this when
the wind begins to sing"
The captain himself says that "half
the people who are drowned lose their
lives because they do not realize that a
boat cannot sink. An iron vessel might,
or ship loaded with heavy cargo,
but row boat, sail boat or ordinary
wooden vessel may capsize, but will,
nevertheless, float. The passengers on
the great ocean steamers run some risk
when they go to sea, but all around the
deck they see wooden boats hung up on
which they are taught to depend for
their lives if the big steamer goes down.
These boats are often crushed against
the great vessel or are capsized in
lowering. am alone in a wooden boat
entirely under my own control, and, in
my opinion, far safer than others" An
ingenious theory but hardly fair one.
Capt. Andrews. is by trade piano
maker. He built the .'Sapolio' at At
lantic City in the presence of hundreds
of people, and exhibited it on the Long
Pier for several weeks. 1t is a canvas

The DEVIATION of AN old slave.

MEMPHIS, Sept. scarcely was there
ever told more pathetic story than
that which was brought to light by the
death of Miss Sarah MADISON at the
home of her whilom slave, William
MADISON, at 1876 Manassas street, yester-
day morning. The slaves devotion to
his old mistress was fitting tribute to
her kindness. The war of the States
and the proclamation of emancipation
did not shake the devotion of William
MADISON. He had learned in his earliest
years to love and honor Sarah MADISON
when she was young, and he never for
got the lesson.
Sarah MADISON was the daughter of
wealthy man. He was large planter,
and he owned many slaves before the
war. Among them was William Nab
son and the wife with whom he is now
living. The war set theuifree and they
came to Memphis. William was not
anxious to leave his master, but the
time came when he was forced to do SO.
The old master died. The young mis-
tress was left alone with barely enough
property to support her. She managed
to take care of herself for while, but
finally she had exhausted her means,
and then it was that she needed the as
sistance which was so kindly offered
her by William MADISON, the old family
slave. She had grown old and could
not care for herself and none of her
own race extended a helping hand. The
slave had prospered in an humble way,
though the wealth of. his mistress had
disappeared. 1t was at this time that
William threw open his door-the door
of a little cabin he had paid for out of
his hard earnings, and invited his
former mistress to spend~the balance of
her life with him and his wife.
She accepted the generous offer. If
what is said be true, the old slave was
as: good to his former mistress in her
MISREPRESENTATION condition as he was
when she was wealthy and when he
was her humble bondsman. This was
several years ago. Since that time she
has remained with William MADISON and
his wife in their humble home on
Manassas street. s.Efssis.s Sara Is .,Hs
Yesterday morning brought the close.
While William was dressing himself he
heard faint cry in the room occupied
by his mistress. He Investigated the
cause. He found her dead. The end of
the drama had been reached. She had
died at the dawn of day,
An inquest was held by Justice Gar
win, and it was developed that Miss
MADISON had been sick fer several days, |
but died more from old age than from
any specific ailment.
Miss MADISON has no relatives here,
but her body will be properly buried by
some of the charitable associa tons OF
the CITY. ,rfs4

To Extend the midland.

NASHVILLE, Aug 29.-President I. j.
Moss of the Midland Railroad made a
proposition today to the Davidson Conn
ty Court that if the county will vote his
road $3.50, 900 as subscription to the
capital stock on or before November 20,
1892, he will construct ana put in opera
ton astandard gauge railroad from East
Perryville, Perry County, Tenn, to
Nashville, Davidson County, Tenn, its
terminus, not later than December rs,
1898, and will operate its line from
Nashville to Memphis in connection
with the Paducah, Tennessee & Alabama
Railroad. When said railroad shall be
in operation and trains running from
East Perryville to Nashville, and not
before, then said subscription OF S350,o00
shall be payable by Davidson County,
and at its option, either in cash or
twenty-year 6 per cent. coupon bonds,
interest payable scmi-annually and
redeemable at par at the option of
Davidson County at any time after five
years. Upon payment of $50, 600 cash or
delivery of the bonds to the amount of
$3.50, 900, then $500 of petitioners
fully paid up and worcestershire capital
stock is to be issued and delivered to
the proper officers of Davidson County.
This application is made under and
by virtue of an act of the general assem-
bly, OF. the State of Tennessee, approved
February IL, 1887, entitled ''an act to
enable counties and Incorporated cities
and towns to subscribe to the capital
stock of any railroad company incor-
porated under the general laws of the
Staten the mode prescribed therein,
and to provide for the payment of such
subscription" S.
The petitioner attaches hereto as
part of this application a map certified
by petitioners chief engineer, showing
the general direction of its line of rail-
way in Davidson County Judge Cald-
we'll has called an extra session of the
Quarterly Court for September 18th to

order to fold it there must be three long
canvas hinges from stem to stern, and
the daring Captain writes by an in
coming ship (when he is hundreds of
miles from shore) that he finds the
$ 'Sapolio' in sea-way is scrubber
but very lealy." No better proof of his
GOODNESS and pluck could be given
The start was made at 4:30 Wednes-
day, July 10th, the destination being
Palos, Spain. Capt. Andrews has in
Structions to scour the seas until he
discovers that port and the starting
point of Columbus. It is believed that,
sailing in fourteen foot boat without
SO much as q hot cup of coffee to vary
his diet of biscuits and canned goods, he
will, single-handed, eclipse the record
of that Spanish-Italian adventurer who
almost failed to cross the great ocean
with three ships, $50 men, after secur-
ing the Queens jewels to pawn and
having the blessing of the Church
thrown in. This Columbus is sailing in
a boat which had never been in water
until the hour when he started on his
1000 mile trip. He has been spoken
in tnid-ocean several times, scorning all
assistance and confident of ultimate
success. His effort should interest all
Americans as test of pluck, endurance
and good seamanship. That tits not
foolhardy affair is proved by his for
mer success and by the notable trip in
which he battled for sixty-two days
without reaching the other side. Thou
sands of people saw the start, his pres
enee at different points on the ocean
has been noted by large numbers of
vessels, and his landing on the other
side will no doubt be made a matter Of
public demonstration and rejoicing. AS
he; sailed from the pier he said, GIN
sixty days will be in Spain, and up
to the last reports he had made better
time than he anticipated. Every day
during the voyage a bottle viii be
thrown overheard noting the location
and other information about the trip.
If Capt. Andrews succeeds in reach
ing Spain and joining in the October
celebrations which will be held in
honor of the discovery of America, he
will then return in one of the great
steamers and arrange to exhibit his
boat and the log which he writes up
day by day, at the Worlds Fair in Chi
cago, where he win be one of the fea-
lures of the magnificent display which
the manufacturers of Sapolio are now
perfecting. The assurance, we might
almost say the impudence, of these ng-
gressive manufacturers in securing a
Columbus of their own In probably with
out precedent in advertising.
