ing the Famine.

London, Oct 29.-The Times dispatch
from SimIa. India. says:
During the famine the Punjab section
vii benefit enormously from irrigation
in the tract supplied by the Chenab
canal. the extensions of which are be-
ing vigorously pushed. Gujranwala
and Jung sections of the canal have
just been opened, watering 200 600
acres. which will mostly be sown in
wheat The soil is rich and is GER
tain to yield spIendidly.
The whole project is an enormous
one. bringing tracts of waste land into
cultivation. The crops from other lands
about the Chenab canal are abundant
and besides only one-tenth Of the last
wheat crop was exported. 1t is known
the grain supply of the Punjab is very
large. but the dealers are holding up
their stocks and raising prices for large
profits.

Chicago In 1868. but there was harmony
almost as remarkable as that IN the first
convention; Gen. Grant was nominated by
acclamation, but five ballots were required
to give Schuyler Colfax the second place
The fifth convention met in Philadelphia
with q clearly-defined understanding that
Grant should be renomiuated by acclama-
tion. All the disaffected elements had left
the party and were following Horace Gree
ley and B. Gratz Brown, so business moved
smoothly. even as to the vice presidential
honor. which went to Henry Wilson on the
first ballot.
The sixth convention, held at Cincinnati
In 1916, surprised the country with its nomi-
nations. The announced candidates were
James G.. Blaine, Oliver P. Morton, Benja-
min H. Bristow. Roscoe Conkling Ruther-
ford B. Hayes. John F. Hartranft, Marshall
Jewell and William A. Wheeler. At the out
set Blaine was a long way in the lead: on
the seventh ballot-after a most exciting
contest-Hayes secured the nomination with
five votes more than were necessary to a
choice; William A. Wheeler was nominated
for the vice-presidency by acclamation.
Another surprising convention was the sew
enth, at Chicago. Four great men were
presented-Grant, Blaine, Sherman and Ed
munds-and scattering votes were cast for
hayes, Washburne. Window, McCreary,
Garf1eld, Davis. Of Texas. and Hartranft.
On the first ballot Grant was leader and
Garfield was nowhere Thirty-four succeed
ing ballots were without result The thirty
sixth and final ballot gave Garfield first
place with 3S9 votes; he only needed 37S
chester A. Arthur secured second place at
the first effort
Inc elghth convention was a Chicago
event. but 1t had in it comparatively little
excitement. James G.. Blaine was NOM
mated on the fourth ballot, his competitors
being President Arthur, Edmunds, Logan,
sherman, Hawley, Robert T. Lincoln ALI.
General w. T. Sherman. Blaine had 5li
votes; only All were necessary to a choice
John A. Logan's was the only name pre-
sonted for the vice presidency. At me
ninth convention, held in Chicago, Ben;a-
min Harrison and Levi P. Morton were the
successful candidates, although first place
would undoubtedly have been given to
James G. Blaine had he not declined per-
emptorily. 1t took eight ballots and vast
amount Of convention work to settle the
matter, for among the names presented
We're those Of Blaine, Algar, Gresham,
Robert 7. Lincoln, Hawley, Allison, Depew,
lrgalls, Sherman, Filter. Mckinley and
RIsk. Harrisons winning ballot gave him
o44 votes. Morton. Bradley and Pheips
Contested for the second place; the former
wen on the first ballot. MINNEAPOLIS was
the scene of the tenth convention. Harri-
son. Blame, Mckinley. Reed and Robert T.
Lincoln were voted for, Harrison securing
o55 1-6 votes and denomination on the first
ballot. Whitelaw Reid was nominated by
reclamation for second honors. In ma
jority of the conventions the plans Of those
who appeared to have preliminary control
went wrong. The ST. Louis convention will
probably be in accord with the exceptions
rather than the rule
Evening star., 1896-06-16

1t is among the probabilities that the
eleventh national convention of the Repub-
lican party, opened in the city of St. Louis
this morning will, as to spontaneity and
CEanimity resemble closely the first
Republican convention. held at Philadelphia
just forty years ago. The st. Louis event
may not be quite as much of political
love-feast as was the Philadelphia conven-
ton, but there is likelihood of practical
unanimity from the outset as TO the party's
candidate. and that was marked char
acterstic of the assemblage that nominated
John c. Fremont on the first formal ballot
There was nothing approaching unrleas-
antness in the entire proceedings, although
JChn Mclean of Ohio had many friends
who desired his nomination as soon as
Gen. Fremont's voting strength-359 out Of
5JS-was developed, there was no further
semblance of competition. Four years
later there was friction in plenty at Chi
caSo, and wire-pulling equal to anything
that has since developed. 1t took four bal
lots to nominate Lincoln over Seward
Cameron, Chase. Bates and Mclean, and
two ballots to give Hannibal Hamilton Sec
ond place on the ticket. The third coi.yen-
ton was held in Baltimore while the civil
war was at it's height. In some respects,
the proceedings were deeply interesting and
even exciting, but the disturbing causes re-
lated rather to the representation and plat
form than to the nominations; Lincoln WAS
renominated without opposition, and An
drew Johnson was placed on the ticket by
the first ballot
Reconstruction and many propositions to
amend the constitution complicated and en-
livened the proceedings IN convention At

1t has been said by Mr.. Mckinley and By
many of his political ard personal asso-
cIates that he is an unpledged candidate
and that If he goes into the White House
ne will enter that somewhat desirable resi-
dence absolutely free from such incum-
brances as have been like unto millstones
around the neckS of several Presidents.
As a matter of fact Mckinley Is more
heavily pledged thar any other candidate
OF recent times. He is pledged to bring
good times for everybody. TO restore high
wages, to give us Big crops, low freight
rates, plenty of work, and the million
other things Incidental to prosperity.

The main body of candidates will not
report till the first week in September,
when Captain Fred Il. Murphy will meet
them at Black Rock. i'm this state. and
will drill on practice grounds near the
shore resort. They will remain there a
couple of weeks and will come to the
Yale field about week previous to
the opening of college. At Black Rock
no rough work will be done and il Is
doubtful If the team really lines up.
The main discipline will be in the drop
ping on the ball. passing and tackling.

Yale field about September 20 they will
probably for the first time this year
face an opposing eleven.
