SyracUSE, Neb,, April 24.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—The Otoe county demo- cratic convention was held at Syracuse this afternoon. After a stormy session and fight between the Morton and anti-Morton men, the farmer carried the day and elected their delegates to the state conventiou. Robert Payne, W. F. N. Houser, Dr. W.S. White, Colonel F, P. Ireland, A. Stout, N. A, Duff, Eugene Muun, Dr. E. W. Schermer, W. Al Cotton and W. E. Hill were elected. Resolu- tions were passed instructing the delegates to vote and work for Cleveland delegates to the national convention first, last and all the time, from land grant companies, has been the sub- 3laine and Sherman Ject of discussion by several members of the senate committec on public lands. It is under- stood that there was & practical concensus of opinion gleaned that the legislation called for would duplicate in effect the existing stat- utes. Senators Plumb and Paddock have looked up from the statutes at large of the Forty-ninth congress the railroad land adjustment act, approved March 8, 1857, the fourth section of which 18 believed to thor- oughly cover such cases as those over which the people of the west now seem to be agi- tated. The essence of the section is as fol- 1o ““That as to all lands, which have been s0ld by the grantee company to citizens of the United States, or to persons who have declared their intention to become such citi- zens, the person or persons 8o purchasing in good faith, his heir or assigns, shall be en- titled to the land so purchased upon making proof of the fact of such purchase at the proper land office, within such time and under such rules as may be prescribed by the secretary of the interior, after the grants re- spectively shall have been adjusted, and pat- ents of tho United States shall issue therefore and shall relate back to the date of the orig- inal certification or patenting, and the sccre- tary of the interior, on behalf of the United States, shall demand payment from the com- pany which has so disposed of such lands of an amount equal to the government price of similar lands. And provided, that a mort- or pledge of said lands by the company shall not be considered as a sale for the purpose of this act.” Senator Paddock, however, to be sure, has directed a letter to the secretary of the in- terior, to whom Senator Manderson’s bill has also gone, asking for a_construction of the statute and the bill with reference to the ob- Jects which are desired to be secured. The act of Morch 8, 1887, is the land forfeiture act under which the B. & M. land grant porth of Kearnoy has been declared by the interior department to be forfeited. ~The section quoted was intended to cover all cases of purchasers from land grant roads ‘Wasnixgroy, April 24.—Among the bills reported from committees and placed on the calendar was one to provide for the erection of public buildings for postoffices in towns and cities where the postoffice receipts for three years preceding have exceeded $3,000 sannually. A resolution was wmdopted directing the civil service commissioners to furnish lists of all persons certified for appointment to the tent office from March 4, 1885, to March 4, 888, and lists of all persons selected and ap- pointed under such certification. The international copyright bill was taken up, and_after an interesting discussion laid aside without action, O The senate then proceeded to the considera- tion of the Dbill for the establishment of a bureau of animal industry. Mr. Palmer made a statement and intro- duced and had read numerous extracts from newspapers criticising the manner in which the existing law is executed, some of the charges against the government's agents being, as he said, atrocious. ‘Without action on the bill the senate pro- ceeded to executive business. After the doors reopened several minor bills were passed, including the house bill to authorize the city of Chicago to erect a crib in Lake Michigan for water works purposes. The senate adjourned. Bay State Republicans. BostoN, Mass., April 24, —There is a largo gathering of politicians here to-night to at- tend the state republican convention to-mor- row. Permanent officers have already been selected. It is rumored Blaine's name will be culogized. The platform will endorse a national temperance plank. The delegates to the Chicago convention will, it is conceded, be Senator Hoar, Henry S. Hyde, Alanson ‘W. Beard and Dr. Fred. L. Burden, Florida Republicans. PALATRA, Fla., April 24.—The republican state convention selected the following dele- gates to the Chicago convention: W. L. Led- with (white), Samuel Pretty (colored), E. R. Gunder (white) and J. W.

INDIANAYOLIS, April 24.—Delegates to the democratic state convention are gathering. Congressman Matson appears to lead slightly in the race for the gubernatorial nomination, but the supporters of Myers feel confident he will get the most votes. There is every indication of Governor Gray's can- didacy for vice president if he is endorsed by the convention. there are two millions of people Ireland as loyal as he or I am, Ihavealway. advocated every movement for the advanoés ingand for the benefit of the Irish people, { but we believe that we should not be con- ferring a benefit upon Ireland, but would be doing her a wrong by soparating her from, England, by debarring her members of pars liament from the legislature of the realm. you want to form an opinion on this questio io into the gallery of the house of commons, look upon the Irish members, note their des meanor and appearance, and ssk it English, statesmen would be justified in handing Ire~ land over to their hands, Many times I havi talked to Richard Cobden on this Irigh quess. tion, and he always gave me the same answer.

KANsAs City, Mo, April 24.—[Special Telegram to the Ber.]—Judge Samuel Lecompte, aged seventy-four, died early this morning at the residence of his son, J. T. TLecompte. Judge Lecompte was a familiar figure in the stormy days of the admission of Kansas. He was born on the eastern shore of Maryland. In 1854 he was appointed chiet justice of the territory of Kansas by Presi- dent Pierce and served in that capacity until the admission of the territory of Kansas, Judge Lecompte presided over the first con- stitutional convention held at Lecomp- ton, which was named after the judge.

New York, April 24.—[Special Telegram 1o the Beg.]—A Philadelphia special says the Knights of Labor executive board, at a re- cent session, appropriated $10,000 to start a printing office at their headquarters, but find they appropriated the money from a depleted treasury. Schemes for raising the wind have been afloat now for some time. Aside from the brown-stone headquarters, the only avail- able assets the organization has is the Con- nellsburg coal mine in Ohio, and this they are trying to sell, They hope with the pro- ceeds to be able to start the printing ofiice, which is wanted badly to lessen the enor- mous printing bills of the order, which were §49,000 last year, The sale of the mine, how- ever, will only provide a little ready money for exigencies, such as the printing oftice, and will do but liftle to improve the frightfully bad condition of the finances.
