RITTER FOR PERMANENT CHAIRMAN.

The Convention Declines to Let Absent
Delegates BE Counted in the Vote.
The convention reassembled at O'Clock,
when the committee on permanent organ
ization reported the names of Colonel Eli
Ritter, of Indianapolis, for permanent
chairman, and Rev. Sam Small for sec
rotary. The committee also reported a
recommendation that the votes cast
should only represent the delegates in
actual attendance, and that the votes of
delegates who had not come to Cincin-
matt should not be announced by the chair
men of state delegations. On behalf of
the minority Sam Small submitted a re-
port authorizing the casting Of the full
vote of each delegation. For nearly two
hours thereafter. amid considerable ex-
element and uproar, the convention de-
bated the pros and cons of the question.
Small Advocates His Report.
Small made one of his characteristic
speeches in behalf of the minority. He
declared that it was sought to perpetuate
an outrage upon the weaker delegations;
that if the majority prevailed the conven-
tion would simply resolve itself into a
mass meeting of people who had money
enough to come to Cincinnati and become
q grand mob instead of convention.

of them attended the reception to Cleve-

the reception was to congratulate Cleve-

two. one by Mr.. Chamberlayne expressive
of the feelings of the visitors, and the
other by Cleveland-were not at all polit-

They Determine to Make the Fight on
National Issues.
DIES MONIES, June 30-The Republican
state convention ambled here vester-
day. r. B. Huff, of Muscatine, was tenn
porary chairman and said he would rather
hold that position for four hours than that
OF Democratic governor of the state for
four years. His speech was a discussion
, OF national issues anC a eulogy of the ad-
| mlnistration and the national platform
Committees and elections were appointed
and recess taken.
Keynote of the Convention.
The keynote of the convention was no
recognition of state issues, notably the
prohibition question. The Temperance Al
( lance was represented by a committee
whose object was to secure a prohibition
plank in the platform, but the question
was ignored. L pom reassembling \. L.
Hager, of Adair county, was made perma-
nent chairman, and his speech was in the
same line as that of Huff The state ticket
was then nominated a follows: Secretary
Of state, W. NJ. McFar and; treasurer. By
ron A. Beeson; alto rrey general. John G.
htone; auditor, G. g. Mccarthy; railway
commissioner, G.. w. Perkins.
The Declaration of Principally.
Al selcCtluS tltCbOTs uut convention was
impartial as between Prohibitiouists and
anti-Prohibitionists A. b. Cummins who
is of the latter faction, and Milton Rumley
who is equally pronounced as cold water
man, both being put on. The platform is an
endorsement of the national declaration in
all its features. The Prohibitionists tried
to incorporate a Prohibition plank, and a
local option plank was proposed, but both
defeated, the convention considering the
national platform sufficient on the liquor
question. After adopting the platform, the
convention adjourned.
Cold Water Men Considering.
At meeting of mem ers of the State
Temperance alliance and prominent Pro
hibition Republicans last evening it was
decided to call full meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the alliance for next
Saturday to consider the situation with a
view tosupporting the Straight Prohibition
t icket in the coming campaign.

MRS. HELEN COUGAR. painted fac simile OF
the coat of arms of the various states and
territories, supported on the right and left
by the stars and stripes. Over the stage,
exquisitely painted on a single canvas sur
rounded by bunting and American flags of
tirge dimensions, were Portraits of we'll
known leaders of the temperance move
ment, including Neal Dow, Frances Will
lard, General Fisk, A. B. Leonard, John
b. Finch, Ex-Governor ST. John and John
Black. These were flanked on either side
by portraits Of Washington and Lincoln.
A Flag with a History.
Depending from the.canvas to within a
few feet of the stage was an immense
counterpart of the stars and stripes, with
an inscription showing that it was his
torical flag made by devout W. c. T.
Z. woman, of Woodbury.. n J., and had
been unfurled for St. John in 1884, fioated
for Fisk in 1sS6, was suspended over the
platform at Indianapolis in 1888, and
would wave for the nominee of the CON
vention But what attracted the greatest
attention on the part of both delegates
and visitors were the score or more of
notices that, incasCd in red, white and
blue bunting, ran around the railing of
the balcony, making the entire circuit Of
the hall. Gin mills grind boys; whose?n
asked one; "a tariff in souls means free
trade in souls" another, License of evil
completely with crime" etc, etc.
Convention Called to Order.
There was great cheering as the dele5a-
tions filei into their places, and great
cheering when some leader like st. John
or Dickie was noticed. Every delegation
was in place by 10 a. m, and just before
the gavel fell the whole convention broke
out with ~My Country IT'S Of Thee" At
1925 Dickie called the convention to order
and introduced Rev. Evans, the chaplain
of the day. His prayer was puuctuatcd
all through with ordinations from the
delegates: "Amenr "Praise Godm "Giory
TO GodP The next feature was the well
coming speech by Rev. Dr. Lockwood, and
Dickie made the response.
Temporary Organization.
Dickie said the Prohibitionists proposed
to force the fight and that the conventions
utterances would admit of but one inter
probation. He also said that forty-three
states were represented, and then informed
the delegates that John p st. John had
been selected as chairman of the temporary
organization. All through the two last
speeches the delegates had cheered, but It
was only zephyr compared with a cy-
clone to the way they "whooped it up"
when St. john appeared escorted by
Hastings of Wisconsin an Evans of Illi-
nois. He declared the gathering the
brainiest one that ever met and generally
eulOgized p rohibition, his speech being
principally recital of the probable plat.
form.
Decidedly Against Fusion.
There was one point, however, which
will be fought out in convention that St.
John was emphatic about and that was
that no fusion was wanted, and this was
loudly cheered. Temporary secretaries
were appointed, and it was agreed that the
chairmen of delegations should be allowed
to cast the votes of those not present
Rules were adopted, the roll was called
for members of committees and the con-
vention took a recess.

The Chimese Question.

EulJOr IuDune:
Permit me, as a representative of the
laboring classes of Olympia, to say that
your recent editorial in regard to Kidding
our beloved city of the Chinese, hits the
nail squarely on the head. Your plan of
comforting with the property owners,
through regularly constituted commit
tee, and asking them to warn their Chinese
tenants, by lawful process, to vacate their
objections. But, it may be asked, will all
our property owners fall into line and
agree to act according to the terms of this
regulation Well, there's the rub. But
there is only one course of action to be pur-
sued in the case of such kicker If there
be found man who would refuse to clear
his house of Chinese occupants, then let
him be declared a citizen disloyal to the
best interests of Olympia.
Now that good plan of operation has
been devised and outlined, let the laboring
people of Olympia proceed at once to test
its availability and efficiency. Let meet
ing be called in due course and a committee
created whose duty it shall be to canvass
every property owner who is leasing or
renting real estate to the Chinese. Let the
question be fairly and candidly put "Will
you agree to remove by legal notice all
Chinese occupants from your premises and
hereafter neither rent nor lease real estate
to people of that racer" AS you say in
your article, Olympia should be for Olym-
plans. What say the mechanics and
workers. A DAY LABoRER.

Beatty's Pianos and Organs.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, the great organ
and piano manufacturer, is building and
shipping more organs and pianos than
eyer. In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pen
nlless pillow boy, and by his indomitable
will he has worked his way up so as to sell
so far, nearly 100000 of Beatty's organs
and pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to
dishearten him; obstacles in his way that
would have wrecked any ordinary man for
ever, he turns to an advertisement and
comes out of brighter than ever. His in
struments, as is we'll known, are very pop
ular and are to be found in all parts of the
world. We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 100000
more of his make, that means a business
Of $20OO00OO if we average them at 500
each. 1t is already the largest business of
the kind in existence. Send to Daniel +.
