MILWAUKEE,, July Ii, 1885,. Henry G.
Payne Of Wisconsin, member Of the Re
publican National Committee, left yester-
day for Cleveland to attend a meeting Of
the Executive COMMITTEES. Of which he is
member. Before his departure Mr..
Payne said he believed It would be de-
cided to move the headquarters of the
National Committee from New York to
Chicago. Mr.. Payne said he was in favor
of the change, and said ii ought to be
made. Mr.. Payne admitted that owing
to the action of the Chicago Convention
the fight would have to be made in the
West, and he thought 1t would be essen
tial to have the committee right in the
battlefield.
Speaking of the free silver movement,
Mr.. Payne said he believed 1t reached its
culmination at Chicago and would now
begin to subside.

Mount Holyoke has all her appli-

South Hadley and vicinity, would be
roofless. The faculty and students,
with personal possessions gone, and In
sight of ruins and smoke, rallied in the
basement of the village church for roll

never before, lHolyoke, Holyole, tried

This means no break in the work at
Mount Holyoke, which goes straight
on. and it means, too, the strong con-

to give at least one of the needed cot
tages or other buildings. Money given

MAssACH UsETTs REPUBLICANS.
Convention to be Held To-day-Harmony
will Reign Supreme.


Boston, Sept. 30-The convention of
the republicans of Massachusetts,.
which meets tomorrow at IL o'clock,
bids fair to be one of the smoothest
gatherings Of recent years. Quite a
large number of delegates and local
party leaders gathered at the AmeM-
can house tonight, but after paying
their respects to Governor Wolcott and
other state officials at the pre- -conven-
ton reception, they almost to a man
disappeared at an early hour.
The only contest is on the lieutenant
governorship, and 1t seems to be pret-
ty well conceded that w. Murray
Crane will secure the prize over Col
onel Sam Winslow by an overwhelm-
ing majority. Some even predict that
he will have two to one. Congressman
Walker of Worcester Is expected to
nominate Winslow and Senator Law
renee will perform a like service for
Crane The state committee had an
interesting but uneventful session, and
the committee on resolutions of which
Congressman Moody is chairman, was
also in session, but made no substan-
tial change in the draft of the platform
previously prepared.
The platform will indorse Mckinley
and the st. Louis platform; will de-
mand strictest supervision of corpora
tions, and that they should be apprais-
ed at a fair value to prevent stock wa
tering. 1t is understood that biennial
elections will be omitted from the plat
form. Representative Krebs of Boston
appeared before the committee, advo-
eating a plank in favor of caucus re-
form, but it was not inserted, and
Is liable to create a breeze in the con-
vention. Neither Senators Lodge nor
Hoar will attend the convention.
Chairman Lyman will call to order
and Congressman Draper will be per-
manent chairman. Harmony is ex-
pected to reign supreme from begin
ming to end. Tne present state officers
will be nominated excepting lieutenant
governor.
