SENATOR DAVID B. HILL
Nominated for Governor of New
York.

On Wednesday the Democratic con.
vention of New York State nomi-
mated Senator David B. Hill for Gov
ernor. Mr.. Hill had called the con-
vention to order and the names OF
several gentlemen had been placed
before the convention, when Delegate
REYNOLDS, of Allegheny county, arose
and said: "The united delegation
from Allegheny county desire to
place in nomination for Governor
their first and only choice, David B.
Hill ;"
Then occurred one of the widest
scenes that could be imagined. Dele
gates jumped upon the chairs, specta-
tors crowded into the aisles, hats were
thrown heavenward, canes with rib
bons waved wildly, and men yelled
themselves hoarse in their cheer after
cheer that almost rent the frail build
ing in twain.
Senator Hill grew pale with emo
ton, but in an almost faint hope that
he would be allie to stem the tide,
pounded vigorously with the gavel
and cried for order. The Secretaries
left their desks, and, jumping upon
chairs, also cheered with the multi
tude. Bourke Cochran, John r. Fell
LEWIS, Mayor Gilroy, Thomas f.
Grady and other leaders jumped upon
the press tables and urged on the APP
plause. The only persons in the hall
who were seated were those few men,
bers of the press who during the
chaos were endeavoring to complete
their stories.
1t was in vain that Senator Hill
protested and called for order; the
convention had taken the bit in its
teeth and was running things
to suit itself. State Senator
Guy and Congressman Bourke Cock
ran seconded the nomination. SEN
ator Hill, the Chairman of the con-
vention, was compelled to sit by and |
see himself nominated whether he
would or no.
Hon. Daniel N. Lockwood was with
out opposition nominated for Lieu
tenant Governor, and Judge VIM.
Gaynor for Appellate Judge.
The convention adopted a platform
the Tariff Bill and de-
precating any further revision for the
present, declaring the Income Tax an
to the party, and de-
nouncing Trusts and the A. p. A.
This done, Chairman Hill proceeded
to adjourn the convention by saying
'"The convention that is running it.
self wants to adjourn. 1 declare it
Senator Hill has not yet signifled
either an acceptance or rejection of
he nomination.

Lieutenant Harry Slough, of the
Lexington police force, yesterday re-
turned Marcus Dean (colored). who
had been convicted of vagrancy in
our Circuit Court, and had skipped
before he could be placed in the hands
of the Jailer. His bondsman, under
the mistaken idea that he was releas-
ed from all responsibility, advised
Marcus to "git," and later invested $40
to have him returned.

Losing their Perquisi tes.

The hard times are having at least
one good effect. They are arousing
the people to the necessity of economy
in public affairs. Public Office is be-
coming every day less of private
snap. The Walla Walla Statesman
thus recorps the tale of woe of one
kind of officials whose perquisites are
gradually slipping away from them:
A curious set of documents is going
the rounds of the various county clerks
Offices in the state. 1t was started for
the purpose of obtaining the ideas of
the various clerks regarding fees, etc,
and to obtain their sentiments as to
holding state convention of clerks in
the near future. On Monday it reached
the Office of County Clerk Egan, who
sent it on to Columbia county. 1t is
voluminous and contains many curious
comments of clerks through whose
hands it has passed. For instance,
the clerk of Chehalis county, j. E.
Lyons, says: ~ am busy as HI.
Court is in session and also a mass
meeting of taxpayers. No time to
give an opinion; but if you ever get
out of office and can get 500 per
month, just keep it. Telegraph.

talk until We were sleepy, when we
would crawl into our tents and sleep
the most refreshing sleep. The best
part of it was that our wives who we're
not very strong when we started were
not fatigued by the trip in the least,
and when we returned to the lake
were strong and healthy as could be.
"It was on our return to the lake
that / caught the 14-pound trout l
was telling you about. We had stop
ped off to visit the iron mines which
were then being prospected by San
Francisco mining company, and 1 had
made up my mind to try my luck in a
particularly inviting place in the river

two or three casts without result. FL
nally, however, made Il cast in a
deep pool about twenty feet square
that was like Il basin cut in the solid
rock, which was free from underbrush.
L felt a raise at my fly and knew I had
hooked a big one. He went to the
bottom at first and did not seem in
clined to stir. | commenced to pull
gently on the line and finally got him
started, when there commenced one
of the prettiest battles l eyer had with
fish. He would circle around the pool
several times and then jump foot or
two out of the water If I had not
had everything to my advantage |
would surely have lost him with my
very small hook, but as it was I let
him fight until he was tired out when
l managed to get hold of him and land
him. 1t had taken probably half an
hour to do the job, and / tell you,
gentlemen when I saw him lying on
the grass at my feet felt like hero.

up camp and returned to Seattle the
next day with my trophy, which had
photographed, and if any of you will
call at my Office l will be glad to show
you proof of my statement. ."-Tele-

Millions of Acres Involved.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-By virtue of
the adoption of special order, the
House was enabled to reach vote on
the McRae land grant forfeiture bill
this afternoon, and it was passed. The
bill amends the act of September 20.
1890, which, in substance, declared the
forfeiture to the United States of land
heretofore granted to States and cor
porations to aid in the construction of
railways to the extent of lands OppO-
site to and contiguous with the portions
of such railways as were not completed
and operated at that time. The bill
passed to-day extends the forfeiture to
the portions of the several railways
to aid in the construction of which
the grants were made, which were un-
completed when the time expired
within which the roads were required
to be completed by law. 1t involves
portions of the grants OF twenty-five
roads, the principal one of which is
the Northern Pacific, and will restore
to the public domain about 54,OO0,OO0
acres. A proviso was added to the bill
so as to prevent it from being con-
strued to forfeit the right Of way and
station grounds of any company, and
also to confirm to purchasers from
such railways the titles to land not III
excess of three hundred and twenty
acres to any holder.

"Well I'll be" And the Port
Townsend man concluded the remark
by pulling tiercely at his mustache
and sending out volumes of smoke for
a space of several minutes. The good
natured man from Tacoma fdgeted
uneasily on his seat, while the gentle
man from Olympia stopped smoking
long enough to hear the questions and
answers, when he, too, commenced to
blow out smoke as though laboring
under suppressed excitement.
They were party of four gentle
men who had boarded the steamer at
Victoria and were now seated on the
upper deck, where they had gone to
smoke their after-dinner cigars and
enjoy the cool breeze which was a
rather uncomfortable warn day.
1t had started from a discussion of
the various resources of our great state
and after taking up the subjects of
lumber, coal, agriculture, mining, etc.,
some one had remarked about the
fisheries, claiming they ought to have
prominent place on the list. The
excellent qualities of our salmon, cod
nalibut, smelt and various other
members OF the finny tribe had been
discussed at some length when one Of
tho party spoke of the splendid trout
fishing that could he found in almost
any of the numerous mountain streams
and lakes that are found in Western
Washington. AS is generally the case
when the fishing question comes up
for discussion it had resulted in the
different members of the party re-
lating their experiences in angling for
this gamy fish, each one trying to
make his story little more interest
ing than the proceeding one.
The dialogue introducing this article
was between Mr.. of Port Town
send and Col. - of Seattle, a gentle
man well known through Western
Washington and generally believed to
be man of veracity. A silence OF
several minutes had followed this last
statement of the colonel's neither
member of the party caring to give
expression to their feelings.
Finally, however, the good-natured
man from the City of Destiny asked
the colonel to tell them how il
happened.
! Very we'll, gentlemen, if you wish tc
hear the story will relate it, and also
tell you how l spent one of the most
ENJOYABLE vacations of which l have a
recollection.
