THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. VIEW.

In 1854 the Republican National Con-
vention met in Baltimore on June 9TH,
and Lincoln was renominated on the first
ballot. No other candidates were placed
In nomination before the convention. but
the Missouri delegation voted for Gene
raj Il. s. Grant, who was then engaged
in his campaign in Virginia.
In 1858 the convention was again held
in Chicago. 1t met on May 20th, and was
in session only two days That conven-
tion was a mere formality, so far as
the nomination of a candidate for Presi-
dent was concerned. There was no op-
position TO General Grant, and he was
nominated unanimously on the first
ballot.
In 1872 the Republican convention came
east again, and met in Philadelphia on
June 9Th. The convention was In ses-
sion only two days, and President Grant
was unanimously renominated.
In 1876 the convention of the party met
I'm the Cincinnati Music Hall on June
14th. and was in session two days. There
were seven candidates for the nomination
for President. and seven ballots were
taken. 1t was In that convention that
James G.. Blaine was first called the
"plumed knight" The words were used
by Colonel Robert G. Ingersol In MS
nominating speech There was hard
and bitter fight IN that convention Dut
Hayes. of Ohio, was nominated on uie
seventh ballot, receiving 3S4 votes 10 DOL

A DRAMATIC GATHERING.
The Republican National Convention or
1850 was more dramatic In its conuuc,
and outcome than all the other great
gatherings of the party. An article in the
Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette says that
as ha
now become a matter Of history that
ConkIing. Cameron. and Logan, with
others of lesser fame and influence had
formed a combination while Grant was
on his tour around the world 10 bring
him forward ag n candidate before the
convention Of 1850.
The convention met at Chicago on June
%. Conklng, who had charge or the
Grant canvass, sanguine on carrying the
convention. but fearing bolt after

will be laid by during the coming
week. The late planted and replant.
ed fields give promise of producing a
fair crop.
Oats suffered material injury in all
sections visited by heavy rain and
wind storms, portion of the rank
grain being lodged beyond recovery.
The full extent of damage cannot as
yet be estimated.
There are numerous reports OF
damage to spring wheat by rust.
The harvest of hay and fall grain

RACE FOR A METEoRlTE.

Suspected Object of Prof. Dyche's Sudden
Departure for tho North.
It Is possible that there is an object
that does not appear on the surface Of
the sudden departure for Alaska Of
Prof. L. L. Dyche, Of the Kansas state
university.
During his northern trip last sum-
mer the professor paid visit, while In
Greenland, to the largest meteorite in
the world, and Immediately announced
bis determination to possess it. Lieut..
Peary, however, claimed the meteorite
by right Of discovery, and warned the
professor not to attempt to remove it.
AS the meteorite weighs dozens Of tons,
peary's warning was of necessity heed
ed at the time, but Prof. Dyche stated
distinctly that he intended within
few years to return to Greenland for
the meteorlte.
Recently dispatches announced that
Lieut. Peary would sail for Greenland
this summer to secure the meteorite.
AS soon as Prof. Dyche can reach Seat
tie he, too, will sail for the north, and
it Is quite probable that his destination
Is neither Alaska nor the north pole,
but the point in Greenland where the
coveted meteorite lies.
Prof. Dyche will have the longer
route through Behring straits and the
northwest passage, but he is man of
great energy and if he has in reality
started on race for the coveted mete-
orite the chances are in favor Of lively
race to Greenland.
The meteorite is roughly estimated
to be worth $4,000.
