The New York Advertiser, from
which these facts are taken, says:
'sNearly all Of the surrounding houses

five stories high and barely twelve
feet wide It has very plain, undecor-

have Venetian blinds, painted green.
The main entrance is through double

which was probably used by the ser

an iron ring four inches long, which
was evidently used for the double pur
pose Of handle and knocker."

Seven cities claimed to be the birth

houses in Genoa are pointed out as the
spot where Columbus first saw the
light. However doubtful may be the
exact spot where the great discoyerer
was born, there seems to be no doubt
that the house where he lived in Genoa
may still be seen. 1t Is numbered 81
in the Vic0 Dritto Ponticello. Here
Domenico Colombo, the father Of Co

Ohio's Way-A Lesson to Al a.,
Republicans.

Ohio Republicans, in convention
assembled, Thursday, laid aside all
personal strifes and differences and
united for the Republican cause:
thereby securing harmonious and
enthusiastic convention. A SCUM d
platform was adopted and each wing
given two delegates. Major Nc
Kinl9y as permanent chairman
seemed to be an inspiration to the
convention. The following is the un-
qualified endorsement Of President
Harrison adopted:
"We declare our unbounded CON
fidence in President Benjamin Har-
rison and without qua ification in,
dorse and commend his administra,
tion of the great Office which he holds.
He has given the country a wise, just
and patriotic administration. He
has maintained the national dignity
and honor at home and abroad; he
has upheld the glory of the flag
while promoting peace and securing
prosperity;he has faithfully redeemed
the pledge given before his election
and jealousy guarded the interest of
the whole people. While carefully
and intelligently observing the plat
forms and teachings OF his party he
has been statesman, wise, broad
and eminently American and patri-
otic."
In the closing hours Ex-Gov. Fo'
raker was greeted with an ovation
and said;
eve are Republicans and Repub-
licans only. We came here deter,
mined to have peace, harmony and
unity OF action even it We had to fight
for it. We have secured it, and we
have secured it without any fighting
among ourselves. The selections OF
candidates on our ticket are the ones
with which all shades of Republicans
in Ohio are satisfied and can support
zealously. From this day let every
Republican have his gun pointed at
the common enemy. At Minneapo.
lis we shall strive for result as har
monious as here. | don't know
whether the nominee will be our ex.
cellent present President cheers or
that matchless man from Maine,
James G. Blaine wild applause
continued several minutes or any
Republican, but in any event we in
Ohio will be prepared to take off our
coats and work for the success of the
whole ticket"

Watson's Resolution Disposed OF.

WASHINGTON, April 2s.-After hav.
Ing considered the question of constitu
tlonality for long time, the house ju.
dietary committee decided to report a
resolution directing an investigation to
be made into the Pinkerton system. The
committee came to the conclusion that
as the charges alleged the use of Pink
erton men by interstate commerce car
riers. and also that their employment
had resulted in violence to persons and
property, that it would recommend an
investigation to ascertain if the charges
were true.
The committee will report substi.
tute for the Watson resolution, and will
strike out the allegations of fact made
in the Watson resolution, and simply
provide for an investigation.

SATURDAY, APRIL Both, 1S9.
FOR CONGRESS EIG HTH DISTRICT.
RICHARD W. AUSTIN.
The Two Conventions.

The holding of the two conventions by
the Republicans Of Alabama at Mont
gomery Thursday last is to be deplored,
whatever the causes that led to it. 1t
bodies no good to the party.
The Capitol convention, Of course, re~
elected DIR. Mosely as Chairman of the
State Executive Committee. But the
methods used to secure such reelection,
brazen and audacious at the hands of SO
many delegates as in this Madison Co.,
whose authority to represent the people
was vested not in any public mass meet
ing or even delegate conventions but in
secret caucuses of a few meL. is not com
plimentary to the Doctor and does not
represent the wishes of the Republicans
of the State, but on the contrary outrages
their convictions as openly made known
in their regularly constituted conven"
tions. The reelection by the convens
tion chosen by himself, is secured at
what sacrifice?
The division of the party, the estran-
ging of steadfact and hearty friends OF
the past and all the evil consequences Of
this state Of affairs. Such is the result
of selishness and ambition.
1t does not show such devotion to the
party and it's principles as the people
had right to expect OF one whom
they had heretofore so trusted and
honored.
AS to the court house convention there
can be nj doubt but that it more nearly
represented the wishes, aims and
sentiment of the Republicans Of the
state. Its delegates came with sound
credentials from the people selected op
enly and above board, in public meet
ings. In many places the other side
dared not show their heads in public
but turned up all the same at Mont.
gomery with delegates. Where they
got their credentials is mystery.
The platfol ms and resolutions adopted
do not differ widely,
The Capitol Convention instructed fol
the President, although some of the
delegates selected, are openly and avow
edly opposed to him.
The failure of the court house conyen-
tion to instruct the dele9ation is to be
regretted, although it is affirmed and
openly declared that President Harri-
son is their fret choice for Republican
nomination. We do not doubt this, buI
hold now as we have held heretofore
and advocated that the delegates should
have been instructed.
The President has made an able popur
lar and sound Executive, showing him,
self statesman.w hose purposes and aims
are for the welfare of the weole country
He has deserved the support no
alone of his party but OF the people gen.
orally.
Yet the GAZETTE has no doubt thai
Alabama will cast it's vote solidly fol
him at Minneapolis and thus voice the
wishes of the mass of the Republicans Of
the state. Any other course would be
misrepresentation.
We do not think the National Repub
lican party can afford to admit the Capt.
tol convention delegates and thereby
put its of seal endorsement on the methods
and practices that created it and tht
present situation in this state.

Let us meet in our places Of wor-
ship and there led by our ministers
devoutly pray to Almighty God.
First-That if it is our fault that
the hearts of our fellow countrymen
are so cruelty turned against US. that
He will show to us the evil and give
us the wisdom to remove it.
Second That our white fellow
citizens may be made to see tn It the
only security for the continuance of
republican institution is found in the
observance of law by all, however
powerful, and by the extension offs
protection to all. however weak.
That He will make them see that in
permitting these lynchings they are
sowing a wind which will grow to a
whirlwind in the time Of their chill
dren.
Finally that they vii, remember
our late'y enslaved cond ton, that
they will not forget our centuries of
toll without requital upon the fields
of their father, and that instead of
visiting as with prescription and
murder, they will be patient with
our short comings and encourage Us
to rise to that level of intelligence
and virtue which marks the scharac-
ter of good citizens.

CONFINED 70 mis- BED.

The many friends Of Mr.. Geo. L.
Sencendiver regret his illness, which
has confined him to his bed for some
time past. Shortly after being nomi
mated for the sheriffalty on the Demo;
cratic ticket, he was taken to his bed
with inflammatory rheumatism, and
has been there almost constantly ever
since. Some Of his friends may think
hard Of his absence in the present
campaign, but we feel assured that al
who understand his position will only
work the harder. This would certain.
~ be proper. MI. Sencendiver's af-
fiction, especially at this time, and
with the surrounding circumstances,
cannot help but meet with the sympa-
thy Of all.
His election will depend entirely on
his friends, who must go to work,
earnestly and untirinkly, and leave no
stone unturned. Let him see that even
under such circumstances his friends
are yet aliye to his interests. In . con-
versation at his bedside recently, he
informed as that he relied entirely on
his friends to carry him through, as
his condition would not permit him to
take any active part. Democrats,
shall We do it, Let'eysry worker and
voter bs up and doing at once. There
is no time to lose. We must do our
duty. Then you may rest assured
that after the setting Of the sun in The
Western horizon, on the eve of Mo-
vember 9th, 1892, in this grand old
county Of Berkeley. the news will be
heralded through every hamlet, and
shouted joyfully throngout our city,
that George u. Sencendiver is our
standard bearer, and has swept the
county. This then will convince him
that his friends were with him, both
in health and distress. 1t seems to us
that if one eyer feels inclined to aid q
friend, it certainly is in time Of sick
ness. Then why areswe, Democrats,
waiting in idleness. Our enemies are
attacking. Shallwe resist them ! Ii
so we must do it at once. We have
nominated our standard bearer, and
even IN his affection, shall we stand by
and see him sacrificed. Not Then
there is only one thing that remains
to be done. Let every man off with
his coat and pull-all together, and
when the election is over the cry will

well and our bearer is safe!

SOUND DEMooRACH.

Never has 3 great party, intent up
on the promotion Of right and justice,
had better incentive to effort than ii
now presented to us. Turning oui
eyes to the plain people Of the land
We see them burdened as consumers
with 4 tariff system that unjustly and
relentlessly. demands from them, in
the purchase Of the necessaries and
comforts Ct life, an amount scarcely
met by the wages Of hard and sturdy
toll, while the exactions thus wrune
from them build up and increase the
fortunes Of those for whose benefit the
injustice is perpetrated.
We see the farmer listening to a de
lusive story that fills his mind with ad.
vantage, while his pocket is robbed By
the stealthy hand Of high protection.
Our workingmen are still told the tale
oft repeated in spite of its demonstrat.
ed falsity, that the existing protective
tariff is boon to them, and that un,
der its benefcent operation their wag /
must ncrease-while as they listen
scenes are enacted in the very abiding
place Of high protection that mock
the hopes Of toll and attest the tender
mercy the workingman receives from
those made self5h and sordid in unjust
government favors.
We oppose earnestly and stubbornly

seek to justify and uphold tariff views.
