APPRoAcAINo Conventions.



Taanspire This Month.
Chairman X. II. ruten. Of Iron Noun
tain, has issued call for the Thirty
first district Republican convention to
convene in the city OF Iron Mountain on
Sept. 10. In this isconvention, Iron county
will bo entitled to two delegates and viii
be represented by Messrs. NJ. b. McGee
md G.. Il. Roberts. Alexander Matt
land, OF Negaunee, is said 10 be the lead
ing candidate, although Marquette coun-
ty, with minority ~ delegates in the
convention, has instructed for John
Jones, Of Ishpeming. +. j. Trudell, Of
Iron Mountain, has also been mentioned
and should he enter the race, may meet
with favorable consideration at the
the hands OF Dickinson and Iron. Geo.
Wager, OF Marquette, has erected his
lightning-rod, as usual, but need not be
considered as candidate in serious
considerations.
Chairman Frank Scadden has issued
call for the Republican representative
convention for the Dickinson district to
meet in the city OF Iron Mountain on
Tuesday next at 1880 o'clock, p. m.
Geo. ID. Crippen, OF Stambaugh, il the
only avowed candidate in the field and
will undoubtedly capture the prize
without serious opposition.
The Republican county convention for
the county OF Iron has been called to
meet at Iron River on September 10 by
Chairman Bach. The abundance OF can
didates for county offices precludes The
DIAMOND DRILL from discussing the
"favorites." Time and primary results
will probably siIt the field to proper
tions within the canvassing power OF n
newspaper within the next few days, and
then this matter will receive the atten-
tion OF THE DIAMOND DRILL.

Millions Saved.

Some have very u~Djustly criticised
the Administration and the syndicate
of bankers who took the bonds issued
last February to maintain the gold re-
serve in the U. S. Treasury. 1t is
charged that the Government was a
large looser by selling the bonds 30 low
and That the syndicate made too big a
profit.
DuE.'s RerieW states that the bonds
we're bought for S104. 494 in gold and
sold for Sl124, OF curse for notes; that
the syDdicate's profit was 6 675 and that
after they had completed the gold pay
ments on June 24Ih, they continued to
make deposits of gold in exchange for
notes until Sept. 18th to the amount of
about SIG, 250, 900. The Governments
contract with the syndicate required
them to bring half the gold from Eu-
rope and to protect the treasury until
