HOW DICKINSON VOTED.
Republican Delegation Was With the
Winners.

The Dickinson delegation Of - to
the Hutchinson convention showed
good sense and sagacity in its vote on
candidates, selecting in every instance
except on governor the winner. On
governor, while it was not difficult to
see that Stanley would win, the dele
cation, except two who had personal
reasons for their choice, stayed with
Hessin, being true to the Fifth dis
trict which was eminently right and
won respect from all. 1t is always
best to stand with your neighbors and
Dickinson believes in that policy. By
acting in harmony the Fifth district
was, as the REFLECTOR predicted, able
to name the winner in almost every
instance.
On the first ballot for governor
Dickinson voted II for Hessin, one
for Coburn; second ballot, ten for
Hessin, two for Coburn; third ballot,
when Stanley's nomination was prac-
tically certain, nine for Hessin, two
for Coburn, one for Seaton.
The delegation voted unanimously
for Clark, Grimes, Richter, Smith,
GODDARD, Bailey, Cole and Nelson, all
OF whom were nominated. 1t is q
record to be proud Of and the dele
gates are to be congratulated on their
action.

The Rio Grande arrived this morning
with the 9Th volunteer immune regiment
under Col Sergeant and the second regu-

from Mississippi and Alabama but there
are some from Illinois
The Rio Grande will leave tomorrow

shipment of the first division troops con-
tradicts suggestions of discrimination
against the oolored troops
The Mobile will sail tomorrow with
the eighth and twenty second regulars
and the second Massachusetts,.
The remaining volunteers OF the pro-
yjsional division are expected TO leave
next week.
Owing to the lack of coal the embarka-
ton Of the Spanish troops on the Isle
de Luzon has been delayed; but they will
be shipped on Sunday.
The Ward line steamer Philadelphia
sailed for New York today. carrying back
the greater part of the cargo she brought,
owing to the fact that there is not market
here for anything at present as the gov
eminent, the Red Gross and the relief
societies have glutted the city. Nobody is
purchasing what can be got for nothing.
General Wood today published a tariff
which is official for retailers, under legal
pen lilies. The scale of prices was agreed
upon after conferences between merchants
in q branches of trade here. This will do
much toward opening up a market and
increasing sales as formerly the prices
charged were SO exorbitant as to be prac-
tically prohibitive.
