Smallpox at jackson.

The fve-year-old daughter of Fred
j. Beaman, Jackson playwright, has
been sick several days. Doctors at first
said she had scarlet fever, but DIR. u.
w. Waldron decided that the child had
smallpox. The announcement created
great Consideration in the neighbor-
hood. The germs of the disease are
supposed TO have been brought from
Chicago by relative of the family
who called at many homes during his
stay. Physicians fear that the disease
may become epidemic.

a. of NJ. Football Team to Leave.

It is reported that half the football
team of the University of Michigan
will leave that seat of learning next
fall and enter the University of Chi
cago. The reason assigned for their
departure is rather indefinite, but it is
said in general way that there has
been n row in the Athletic association
and particularly the football contin-
gent. A college controversy of some
easily imagined nature has arisen in
which the men who fought in the
eleven for old Michigan's glory on the
football fields last fall were not given
their just honors. They are going
TO join Captain Allen, the old war
horse" of the University of Chicago
eleven, TO help make a team that will
go down east and spread the name and
fame of western football.

1892, which we indorse and reaffirm.
And we declare it to be our belief that
the existing inequalities in the con.
dition of the people, the immense &C.
cumulations of wealth in the hands Of
the few, and the increasing poverty Of
tho many, the increasing power oil
trusts and corporations, and the power
lessness OF the people to reaist them,
are the direct and immediate results oil
the policy OF the Republican party; and
especiallv we believe that the existing
! acknowledgements is but the natural
and inevitable consequence of the fnRn.
cial and revenue policy OF that party.
Second-We especially approve and
.eafirm the revenue policy OF the ma
tional Democratic party OF 1892; and
We commend the courage. ability and
patriotism displayed by the president
and tho house Of representatives in this
earnest effort to carry this policy into
effect; and we again denounce the mask
of protection, tor more than 80 years
used by the Republican party, to cover
the conversion of public taxes as private
benefit; and we especially denounce the
BETRAYAL OF tie Democratic party by the
so-cslled conservative Democratic sem
ators in their obstruction OF tariff re-
form.
Third-We denounce the great crime
of the Republican party in demonetiz.
ing silver in 1878. We favor the repeal
of al! legislation hostile to bimetsllism.
and advocate tho free coinage OF silver
in the ratio OF 16 to 1. We favor the
foreclosure OF the governments mort
gage against the Union and Central Pa.
cific Railroad companies, and the en-
forcement OF the claims of the govern
ment against those corporations and
their ockhoiders, And we are further
in favor of the operation of those roads
by and under the direction OF the gov
eminent, 80 as to make them what they
| were designed to be--a great public
hiphwsy-and thereby break the spell
of arrested development now produced
by an unconscionable monopoly.
We favor immediate efficient legisla-
ton by the state and federal govern
ments for the regulation of railroad
transportation, with Euch provisions fol
forfeiture Of charters and other penal
ties as msy compel an observance OF such
laws.
THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Fourth-Ws favor the carly construc'
ton OF the Nicaragua canal by or under
the auspices OF the government of the
United States.
Fifth-We unqualifiedly favor the es-
establishment and construction OF deep
sea hsrbor at San Pedro, where the OPP
portunities for commercial competition
are most perfect, and as repeatedly
recon mended by the several boards Of
United States engineers; and we de-
nounce the officious Interference OF the

General Mathews then finished his
speech, and the convention proceeded to

Third ward was called. When the
Third ward was reached il was evident
that Judge Stephens had been elected,
and Judge ]. w. Mitchell stepped for

Judge j. W. Mitchell-I trust this

THE AFTERNOON sEANcE.
At the opening OF tbs afternoon ses.
sion, Henry Wilson, chairman OF the
committee on credentials, submitted his
report to the effect that proxies should
be held in the hands OF the delegates
and not by outsiders, and majority OF
the delegates Of each precinct ehall cast
the votes OF an absentee. Further, that
delegates to the state convention must
be selected from seated delegates ia this
convention.
K. F. Del Vale moved for . reconsid-
GRAFTON of the last section, saying it was
following in the path laid down by the
Republican party and inimical to the
best interests of the Democratic party.
He was satisfied there were plenty of
good Democrats outside of the conven.
ton whom it would be an honor to
name as delegates.
Mr. Bledsos--If any gentleman had
desire to go to the state convention he
should have placed his name before the
people at the precinct elections.

The meeting Of the Democratic

memorable one in many respects. In

there were numerous faces to be seen on
the floor that have not doomed up con-
spicuously in local Democratic politics
for, 10, these many years.
There WAS q good turnout OF the
statesmen. both municipal and rural,
and at times they were up sufficiently
to chase up tho mercury in the German

head, to an incredible altitude.
On the other eide OF the hall j.
Marion Brooks, Martin @. Marsh and

ties about the weather with General

Judge Mitchell occupied front pew,
and after the vote on the Temporary
chairmanship was announced, his face
took on an expectant look, which lasted
all through the hot and feverieh alter

Mr.. Brooks--I speak in the interest OF

Mr.. Clay borne-I was surprised when

advocated that we send men to the state
convention whom the people in the
wards and precincts would not send to
this convention.
George 8. Patton-I dc not believe the
report should be adopted as it stands.
do not think any man should be ig-

A SMALL EXPLOSION.
There were erie, of question, 'ques-

and Dir. Burke got up and wanted to
know II il would not require q two

consider it Democratic to 60 outside Of

no harbor at all. The people OF Santa
Monica are being bamboozled. The

it's ~ years of crime, is trying to fool
them and put its shackles on that com.
munity."
ELECTfEG THE DELEGATES.
The motion to strike out San Pedro
was voted on. and q number OF dele
gates who favored Santa Monica left the
floor OF the convention. Avote was then
taken on the selection of delegate at
large to the state convention. G. F. A..
Last received $50 votes and John r..
Mathews 254 votes. On motion Of Gen.

The convention was then divided into
five supervisorsl districts to select dele

following gentlemen were elected:

PLENTY OF sTATEsMEN.
In another corner OF the room sat ex-
Mayor Workman and Michsel Collins,
who held little green book in the palm
of his hand and occasionally cast fuYtive
chances at . dark stairway in the rear OF
the hall.
One OF the unexpected moves in the
convention was the sudden. and to them
painfully unexpected, turning down Of
the federal brigade. The resolution,
holders, went through with surprising
quickness.
The day was warm, in fact it was
sultry in the hall in the afternoon, but
the cold ice.like chill that ]. Mario n
