date was Ohio. Gen. Garfield took
the platform to present the name of
John Sherman amid great applause,
which was really more tribute to
himself than his candidate, as SO votes
out Of 1855 delegates was the highest
Sherman ever obtained. Garfield's
speech ranked next to Conkling's as
a question of oratory, but his subject
was too cold-blooded to grow enthusiasts
tic over. The most striking passage in
his speech, to my mind, was the follow
ing paragraph:
" Not here in this brilliant circle
where 15,G00 men and women are assem-
bled is the destiny of the Republican
party to be decreed Not here, where /
see the enthusiastic faces of 756 dele
gates waiting to cast their votes into
the urn and determine the choice
of the republi, but by 10000, coo
Republican friends. When the
thoughtful voters, with their
wives and children around them, with
the calm thoughts inspired by love of
country and love of home with the his
tory of the past and hopes of the fu-
ture, and knowledge of the great men
who have adorned and blessed our ma
ton in the days gone by, there God
prepares the verdict that shall deter
mine the wisdom of our work tonight.
Not in Chicago in the heats of June,
but in the sober quiet that comes to
them between now and November, in
the silence of deliberate Judgment will
this great question be settled
There was long and continued APP
plause as he concluded the words
quoted. When that subsided his next
words were:
"'But now, gentlemen of the con-
vention, what do we want?'
81 h1,
shouting 'Garfieldr and the outburst
that followed was significant of the
final result. The episode disconnected
Garfield for moment, but the respite
given him by the applause enabled him
to recover himself and he proceeded as
though nothing had happened"
Touching the process of balloting the
article says:
Nineteen ballots were taken without
cessation. On the second ballot w. A.
M. Grier, of Hazleton, Pa, voted alone
for Garfield, and with the exception of
five ballots he stood for his man. On
the eighth ballot Caleb N. Taylor, of
Bristol, Pa, also voted for Garfield.
giving him two votes. That was the
germ from which the president of the
United States finally sprung.
Tuesday, June g. was the last day of
the convention. The balloting was re-
sumed with no material change except
that Edmunds dropped out and most
of his vote went to Sherman. Garfield
had two on the first ballot Tuesday
morning, and one on each of the sue
ceeding ballots until the thirty-fourth,
when Wisconsin began the break by
casting her eighteen votes for him. On
the thirty-fifth ballot came the begin
ming of the end when Indiana added
her twenty-seven to the Garfield col
unn and enough scattering were given
to make his vote fifty, while Grant
had 313, Blaine 257 and Sherman SO.
"When this vote was announced
every one knew it was to be Garfield,
but Conkling held his Grant forces in
, line as firmly as he did the first ballot.
The final vote was, Garfield, 999; Grant,
500; Blaine, 42''

Chicago Trades and Labor Assem-

CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-What is ex-
pected to be the hardest fight that
will occupy the time of the coming
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor was started this after
noon at the meeting of the Trades
and Labor assembly, when that body
went on record as being opposed to
the future discussion of politics in
trades unions and instructs its dele
gates to the coming convention to
work against all political measures
that might be brought into the con-
vention.
1t was in Chicago that the famous
socialistic plank had its origin. 1t
is said to have been Chicago that
sent the delegation TO Denver which
practically killed that measure, and
now the Trades and Labor assem-
bly, wants to ride in the front car
riage at the funeral of political dis
cussion in the halls of bona fide

five feet deep. A large number were
more or less Injured, but no one was
killed. The accident threw a damper
over the baptismal proceedings for a
short time, but it was finally re-

ANOTHER DEMONSTRATION.

Lie eApeIleHCe Sdlieu ny the III
PRODUCTION of the canteen in army
posts comes to reinforce that gained
by the states that have put the
liquor traffic under the regulation Of
high license laws, and to demon
strate afresh the impracticability Of
our good-meaning, but sentimental,
friends, the prohibitionists. The
canteen, as well as regulation by
high license, was an admission, after
trial, of the impossibility of correct
ing the evil habits and tendencies Of
mankind by the strait-jacket proc
ess. Instead of producing good results
the latter aggravated the evil by de-
veloping, other and worse traits. 1t
bred evasion of and contempt for
law. 1t made sneaking a negative
sort of virtue. 1t drove men to do
had a right to do openly. It devel-
oped that new species of the genus
porcine, the blind pig.
Under a system that denied access
to stimulants within the limits Of the
post, it was the common experience
that leaves of absence were often
utilized to get to the nearest city to
obtain stimulants. The denial of OPP
portunity to indulge a fixed habit was
the profiigate cause Of desertions.
Then came the cautious experiment
of the canteen that provided within
the post a place where beer could
be obtained. 1t has been under test
for several years, and has fully
justified it's wisdom. The reports are
unanimous that drunkenness has
greatly diminished. With that has
martials for insubordination, for act
ual desertion or over-staying leave
of absence while on a spree, and a
decrease of illness resulting from
debauchery. The officer in charge
of the barracks at Plattsburg, where
500 soldiers .are stationed, reports
but one case of drunkenness in six
months, and in that the liquor was
obtained outside the post. One
captain says that under the
prohibitive method there was a
loss in his company in the year of
S52 days from illness and S04 days
from Imprisonment of the enlisted
men. Since the adoption of the can
teen, with a larger company, the
loss is 455 days by illness and 205
days from arrests.
These facts are but confrmatory
of those gained by a comparison of
the experience in those states where
the traffic in liquor is recognized as a
necessary evil, impossible of eradi-
cation, but capable of such regula-
ton as will minify its evils, with
those states where repression has
been tried. Minnesota, with high
license, Maine with prohibition, and
Iowa with a cowardly, evasive,
''mulct" law, compromising with pro-
hibition, are good illustrations OF the
differing results coming from a SEN
sible admission of the futility of
mere law to control appetite and the
direction of power to lessen its evils.

THE GREAT BEEF QUESTION
Secretary Morton Censured by the
Omaha Exchange
Strong Resolutions Passed by the Organiza-
tion-The Secretary Makes
Vigorous Reply

OMAHA, Neb., April 23.-The Omaha
Live Stock Exchange today censured
Secretary Morton for his erroneous ideas
at present working to the great detrlment
of the cattle interests of the country IN
creating wrong impression as to the rel
alive cost of cattle and beef.
After reciting the manner of his investi-
CATION this resolution was adopted.
'Be it resolved, That we the members of the
South Omaha Live Stock Exchange, call the
attention OF the Honorable Secretary of Agri-
culture and the country at large, to the fact
that during the first three months of the pres
ent year cattle receipts at Chicago, with full
corn crop IN Illinois, Indiana and adjacent
territory, fell off II per cent against 1894;
Kansas Citys receipts fell off 10 per cent, not
withstanding q big increase in Texas ship.
ments, and Omaha in the very heart of the
drought-s ricken country, fell off 81 per cent.
''On account of this shortage cattle prices
advanced from s. to So per 100 pounds, as
compared with year ago. and the higher
prices for beef naturally followed.
''With the higher prices for beef and the
press agitation on this subject consumption
fell off and the cattle values declined in con-
sequence. We regard the present depression
in cattle values, however, as only temporary,
as the indications are that the next three
months OF this year will witness a further re
duction in the available cattle supply OF fully
so per rent. We are satisfied that there can
be no combine possible among the beef pack
ers, on account OF the increased mber of
buyers in all the leading markets and the
diversified interests represented by them"
WASHINGTON, April 23.-Secretary
Morton was shown the resolutions adopt
ed by the Omaha Live Stock Exchange
yesterday, deprecating the agitation
about the alleged packers combine and
attributing the reductions in the price of
live cattle of 1.6 cents per pound in the
last two weeks to such agitation, said the
very statement of the St. Louis Live
Stock Exchange would lead to the belief
that the alleged combine of dressed beef
corners existed.
IF the agitation. as they call it," said
he. "has caused decline in the price OF
cattle on the hoof, why is it a similar
calamity has not occurred in the price of
dressed beef? 1t remains the same and
in some cases is even higher. Their own
statement, coupled with the prices Of
dressed beef answers their complaint. "

Novel Plea Made by "Lucky"
Baldwin in a Suit
LILLIAN ASHLEY'S ANGUISH
The Millionaire Horse Owner Makes a
Peculiar Defense
He Admits That His Reputation Is Such That
No Woman With Respect for Her
Character Can Go With Him

SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.-E. J..
Baldwin, better known as Lucky" Bald
win, the millionaire horsepower, mining
man and landed proprietor, has filed a
most remarkable demurrer to the suit of
Miss Lillian Ashley, against him for Sc
duction.
Baldwin has so many times been the
object of similar suits that, as he said, he
no longer worries about little thing like
that.
The latest suit against him is that of
Miss Lillian Ashley. formerly of Boston,
who alleges that while she was visiting
in Los Angeles the aged millionaire won
her affections and betrayed her. Now she
wants $50, 900 as compensation.
Some time ago Baldwin filed demurrer
to the complaint, alleging that it did not
set forth facts sufficient for action. This
demurrer was overruled today in Judge
Stacks court and another was filed.
In this second demurrer Baldwin pic
lures himself as gay deceiver, and says
that his reputation is so well known that
no woman of experience would trust him.
The demurrer sets forth that Miss Ashley
IS wise woman acquainted with men
and the ways of the world, and should be
able to distinguish between sincerity and
deceit Mr. Baldwin states that she knew
he was married man. and unable to
keep promise of marriage. Consequent
ly she did not place reliance in him,
though she declares she did.
The demurrer also says that knowing
Baldwin to be married man, she ought
to have understood his protestations of
love were insincere and that his expressed
sentiments of affection were but the means
toward an end, Miss Ashley knew the
general character of her betrayer and
should not have permitted herself to be
led from the path OF virtue by such evil
IDENTIFY insincere protestations of love.
The demurrer alleges that no promise of
money consideration for anticipated be-
trayal can be held to be good in law. and
that it does not appear from the face OF
the complaint that any other promise
had been made.

from Nebraska, was held in this county
on a commitment to Sheriff Easton to

ernor Jones of Nevada While Lamb

the necessary warrant from Governor
Jones. Williamson Immediately lodged
a complaint for the arrest of the two
sheriffs. Kavanaugh was arrested with
the prisoner in his possession at Winnie
mucca and on preliminary examination
today both were held.
Fugitive Lamb is held by Sheriff Had

SAN FRANCISCO. April 23.-A bout

Drought to the city today by Deputy Mar
sinai Harrison on bench warrant issued
by Judge Morrow.
Mr.. Springer explained to the court and
District Attorney that he failed to come
because he was without means to pay the
railroad fare and has been unable to Dor
row the necessary amount. Upon such
explanation being made, no fine for con-
tempt of court by failing to obey the
summons was inflicted upon him.
At one time Mr.. Springer was rated
among the wealthest men in this city.
He owned a large lumber yard and was
engaged in other enterprises. His lumber
yard was destroyed by fire upon three
different occasions and that loss, to-
gether with unfortunate investments,
ruined him financially. At the present
time he is employed in a sawmill, sup
porting himself and family upon the
small compensation he receives for his
labor.

tive evidence. 1t was discovered that one
of the jurors was also one of the de-
PENDANTS bondsmen.
Detective Lawson of Los Angeles, who
has worked on the case from its very in
ception, is of the opinion that if Sanders
is proven guilty of forgery there can be
charge of having murdered the man
whose name he forged and whose prop
erty he was found in possession of when
Wootton's strange absence was first
called to the attention of the authorities.
And this belief of Lawsons is coincided
in by every one in this county who
knows anything about the case.
And yet Sanders may not be tried on
the graver charge, because the body of
Wootton. in spite of the most persistent
searching, has not been found.
Sanders, 1t will be remembered, told
