‘. A g Sullivan, Kilrain and Their Followers Leave New Orloans, THEIR DESTINATION UNKNOWN. Soveral Places Suggested by the Knowing Ones—Governor Nichols Will Hurry After Them With Troops. Twoking for a Place to Fight. Nrew OnvLeAns, July 7.—([Special Telegram to Tue Bep |—Sullivan left the city at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Kilrain follow- ing at 8:30, Their destination is of course a matter of conjecture. The tran carrying the spectators, management and press men left the Queen & Crescent depot between 1 and 2:30 this morning. Eight bundred and forty first class ticket holders in fourteen couches, each man having a camp stool, de- parted on the firat section at 1 o'clock. The newspaper men traveled in car No. 51, which also conveyed Bud P. Renaud and & number of attaches and some of those more inti- mately connected with the coming fight. Bection two steamed out at 2 o'clock, con- taining about cighteen hundred $10 oxcur- sionists, and ut 2:80 the third section, of eighteen cars, left with the same number. No wau was ullowed fo pass the barrier without producing a ticket. Fhere was & terrific crowd at the depot, but fairly good order was maintained. Unless sowmothing unforseen occurs Honey islund, sixty-two miles northwest of New Orleans, an island in the Pearl river, belonging to the chair- man of the republican state central comint- tee, will be the battle ground. It is neutral ground on the line of Louisiana und Mississippl. Governor Nichole called out battery B, Louisianu artillery, who have bean under arms all day. They may stop the fight from taking place in Louisiana, The Western Union will take no messages at any adjacent office to the scencof the fight, wherever it comes off. Honey island has no telegraph ofice, aud the nearest is thirteen miles away. Communication with the main land is by ferry. Sullivan has been under lock and kev since ¥riday. He is reported to be in aplendid form, but gaining flesh every day. Wk The seconds will be Cleary and Coburn for Sullivan, Muldoon bottle holder. McSchell and Douovan will look after Kilrain, with Murphy, the light weight, for bottle man. ‘The referce and time keeper are uot yet de- cided upon. Kilruin's condition Is considered adimirable. He strips superbly. Saturday evening ‘Lix BEE man in company with a few other press men saw the Baltimore champion in undress aniform. He looms up amaziogly and carries his 195 pounds so thatone wouid never im- agzine it was there, but some knowing ones say he is just n shade short for work. He drove to Moreau’s hotel yesterday forenoon and breakfasted. Tue troops arc still under arms and Cap- tain Benbham told The Bee mai “We go with thirty rounds in our belt. ichols de- clares the fight shall not come off in the Btate, The governor has ordercd a train to follow up the first section and will in person Qirect the troops." ‘The press reports will be elaborate, having ten men working. 2 Information has beon receivéd in New Orleans saying Kilrain and Sullivan reached their destination ut 6 o'clock. ‘This would confirm the rumor that Honey island is tho battle ground - Kilrain and Mitchell when leaving the Southern club this evening made I-;mrc speechos, Kilrain langhingly remark- ug : %1 will vo back, boys, with good news." Mitchell declares if Sullivan does not whip Jnke in twenty minutes he never wiil man- Bgo it, Sunday in New Orleans. New OrLeANs, July 7.—There is nothing of Sunday character about the aspect of this city to-day. Tho strects are crowded with people who have come to witness tho great toill. The demand for seats intho funer ¢ing was 8o great this morning by 10 o'clock 1kat the entire cupacity of the ring, 800 scats, tn- been disposed of. Speculators, howover, ud inner ring uckets for salo at prices benging from §25 vo §40. Colonel Garrett, ceneral southern passengor agent of the {‘_ueou & Crescont, estimates that there will 2,600 people on the ground, and that tho gate receipts will approximate 880,000 Of tuis amount the railrond company will only received &2 a ticket, say £5,000 in all; the remainder will be divided between the com- binations after first deducting expenses. If from any cause the fight is prevented, pur- chasers of tickets will get all their money back but $2 for actual railrond fare. The proceeds of the gate money will bo divided as follows: Sixty per cent to the wianer and forty per cent to the loser, Sullivan continues to be the favorite of tho talent, but publio sentiment, that 18 to say public sentiment which ' 18 backed by rinciple and uot by money, is all in avor of Kilrain, The genteel element of the eominunity aro almost unanimously in faver ot Kilrain, They consider the Hoston boy as aotbing better than o brute and want to see o whipped, but they are not inclined to el their proference. At the clubs to-day the general sentiment was: **We hope Kil- ain will win,” but when bets were offered -1 elubmen Wanted two to one, At Sullivan’s headquarters there was no eparture from the usual 2ir of quiet confi- nee. Sullivan pansed a lazy and luxurious ay. His appetite is enormons. For break- 8t he ate o good sized broiled bass, five foft-boiled ~ eggs, half & loaf of grahwm bread and half 'a dozen sliced tomatoes. The only liauid he took was & oup of tea. f[u\r breakfast Muldoon gave him a shave, uring the course of which ho fell asleep and v that condition Muldoon left him. At1 o'clock he dined, consuming his usual quota f three chickens, with rice and chicken roth and haMf aloaf of bread, There is still some conflict of opinion as to ilrain's condition. Some think he is to at, others too lean, The Associated press teporter asked Tom Allen, the famous pugi- ist, for his opinion. He said: “I am for ilrain.” ‘ITie reporter then requested his opinion s o Kilrain's condition. Allen replied : It is good, but | would like him better if Le were not so fat. I like to see tho cheek bones sticking out.” S0 there you are. The talent generally " consider Kilrain too light, and Tom Allen Ahinks him too heavy. Lverybody is at sea and betting is taking curious sho Lets are being made that Sullivan will win in less than six rounds. Thus fs ittle money has boen wagerea here. Tho ain men insist on adds of two to one, Tho other side are willing to concede $100 to §75, but there is no disposition to close at these figures, Western Union Wires Out.

NEw OrLEANS, July 7.—At 11 o'clock to- night there was considerable excitement in the city over the prospect of mlitary inter- ference, and the two military companies in the city, constituting the state national guard, had gathered together about one hun- dred men. It 18 stated on reliable authority that Governor Nichols will go out with the troops in person. One company will take a chartered steamer at Milneburg and cross the lake to Honey island, where the governor believes the fight will take place, owing to its disputed state location, The otber company will proceed on the train, Orders have also been posted threatening soldiers who do not auswer the call with a heavy fine and im- prisonment, Word has been received from F St. Louis, that a compuny of troops from hiissis- sippi had left there this morning for the dividing line between Louisiana and Missis- sippi, where they will intercept and arrest the principals in the fight if they attempt to fight in the latter state. The salos at 11 o’clock to-night of tickets to the riug side amounted to about §25,000. Governor Lowrey Slceps in Peace, Nuw Onueaxs, July 7.—Governor Low- rie sloeps in peace to-night.

New OnLEANS, July 7.—Kilrain arose sbout 9 o'clock nfter a most refreshing sleep and appeared bright and frash, and was in e xcel- lent humor and conversed freely. Ho re- mained in bis room during nearly the entire forenoon, but about 11 o'clock came down to the gymnasium, whera a large number of the members of the Soathern Athletic club and their guests were assembled. Kilrain looked around the spacious hall fanning himsel?, aud appeared quite at cuse. At noon Kilrain, Miteh- ell, Murphy and Pony Moore breakfosted at Moore's restaurant, and then strolled about the four returning to the gymnasium at2 o'clock. Kilrain's condition hus visibly im- proved. He was brighter and_his move- ncnts wuch more active than on the previous Muny members of the club who were ppointed at his appearunce on Lis arrival changed their minds to-day and expressed themselves as astonishod at his physical de- velopment as well as the improvement in his demeanor.

As soon as the fire subsided measures were taken to feed the nomeless. The fire came on 80 suddenly there was no time to save merchandise stocks. e A DESPEBAT CRIMINAL. Ho Opens Fire on His Pursucrs, Kill- ing Two of Them. BrmsuNeian, Ala,, July 7.—To-day a crowd of negros were playing craps on Red Moux- tain, when Henry Nicholls shot and sevegely wounded Johnson (white), and fled. The other negroes boarded the train, expecting Nicholls to get on further down toward Bir- minghem. They were right, and when Nichols came aboard and saw his_pursners heopened fire with a pistol, killing Juck Saunders and Bob Dickscn, 1le was riddled with bullets, but jumped from the train and dropped dead. Jack Chancy (white) was serious(y injured. L ST A Southern Sensatfon. ATLANTA, Ga., July 7.—[Snccial Telegram to Tue Bee,]—A sensation here is the news of the desertion of "his wife by Prof. W. H. Syford, of Cark university. This is one of the most prominent institutions for the educa- tion of colored people and Syfora had charge of the mechanical department. Syford be- came infatuated with Miunie Warren, a no- torions woman of Augusta, and went with her to Cincinnati, where they registered as min and wife, He trid to induce the woman to marry him, but she would not, haviug learned that he was already married. When the facts of his connection with the woman were made public Syford threatened suicide, Hedid not carry out the threat, however.

The flames were soon communicated to the boot and shoe shop of Joseph Burns, and inside of an hour both were burned to the ground.

[T WILL SURPRISE SHERMAY. General Joseph Johnston's Resigna« tion Accepted. TUTOR TAYLOR PROVIDED FOR. cnator Spooner's Political Teacher Kills the Vacancy—The Real Reason for the Persian Minister's Blaft 513 FOURTERNTA STRERT, Wasmzarox. D. C., July 7. 1t looks very much as if Senator Spooner had made auother hit in the office seeking linoand found a place for his fellow towns- man and_political tutor, H. D. Taylor, of Hudson, Wis. Ever since the inauguration of President Harrison Mr. Spooner has been looking for some oftice for Taylor, and has the active backing of Senator Sawyer and Secretary Rush, but until his return from Turope ho was unsuccessful. ~ When he got back to Washington ho went to the president and oxplained bow important it was to the party in Wisconsin and to himsglf personally to have Taylor taken care of. H. C. Paine, of Milwaukee, was on hand to corroborate his statements. Mr, Spooner asked that a vacancy be made in the office of commis- sioner of railroads to bo filled by his friend. This office, ever since it was created three or four years ago, has been held by Gereral Joseph Johnston, the real Lero and the mili- tary leader of the confederacy, and General Sherman’s opponent 1n his march to the sea. Commissioner Johnston, like all other promi- nent officials of the old administration, sent a formal lettor of resignation to President Har- rison on the 4th of Marcn, for it was the custom to do so, but he was anxious to re- tain tho office, even if he wasa democrat, and Le got all his friends to use their in- fluence to prevent its acceptance. Among others who interested themselves in his be- half was General Tecumsen Sherman, who came to Washington, dined at the white house, and mado a special requestof the president to retain General Johuston in his office. General Sherman said this was all he would ask of the administration, and he begged very hard. While the president did notmake any promise, General Sherman came away with the impression that Johnston would not be disturbed, and he will be a good deal surprised when he learns through the papers that his resignation was accepted by the president yesterday, to take effect on the 18th of July, When it is understood that Mr, Taylor, of Wisconsin, will succeed him. HURT HIS PERSIAN VANITY. 1t 18 sald that the true causo of the indig- nation of the Persian minister is not so much the newspaper comments on the habits and character of his royal master, but lis own wounded vanity. He is a man of the highest rank in his own country, where he is accus- tomed to receive a great deal of deference and attention, the natives prostrating them- selves as he pussed along the street and per- forming acts of respect which a genuine American, however humble, does not often indulge 1, but instead of being received with great honor and being a uon in the di- plomatic menagerie here the Persiun minis- ter has not been courted ut all. By reason of his rank and the date of his commission ho comes at the end of the diplomatic pro- cession, with the representatives of the smaller nations of Kurope aud the little South American republics in advauce of bi. Ho has not reccived many inwitations to din- ner and has not attracted anywhere near as much attention or received so much hospital- ity as the curious looking Coreans, Another fict that hus grievously wounded his pride 18 that he has been regarded as a colored man, when he believes himself a Caucasian and his veople to be the fathers of the whole Caucasian race. His face is about the color of the light side of a piece of shoe leather, and if he did not dress in_Turkish costume he would bo recognized on the street us a mulatto. JUSTICE FULLER'S DAUGHTER SICK. It appeara that Miss Mary C. Fuller, the daughter of the chief justice, who has been studying in Germany and returned yester- day, is more seriously 1l than her friends supposed. Her father and mother, with somo other members of the family, went down the bay yesterday morning at 6 o'clock to receive her. They were given the use of the revenue cutter by the goverament and intended to bring her to New York on that vessel, but she was too ill to be movad until the steamer reached the dock 1 Hoboken, when she was taken to Jersey City and from there to Wash- ington, where she ‘arrived last night. Al though her illness is not neceesarily danger- ous, it beg nervous prostration, the phys ciuus say thav rest and quiet are absolutely essential to her recovery. MISCELLA The sceretary of the treasury yesterday ap- pointed J. W. Link, of Madison, Ind.,a special agent of the treasury department and assigned him to duty at New York. Mr. Link was previously appointed an agent of the internal revenue service shortly after the inauguration, but_resigned to accept his present position. W. H.' Kensetey, of Indi- ana, has been appointed an internal revenue agent to succeed Mr. Link, Charles McMillun, who has been appointed medical referes of the pension ofice, during the war was the chief medical officer of the army of the Tenuessee and served at ( eral Logan's headquarters for three y Through Logau's influence he was afte wards made consul to Rome und remained there for several years. The prevailing iwpression here Sevelan A. Brown, who was chief the department of state for many vis removed to make place for Mr, Lee, who now holds the office, will be re- stored to his old place in a few days. Mr. Brown was originally from Aubura, N. Y., und was brought to Washington by ' Wiliam H. Seward when he became secretary of state under Lincoln, and sppointed to a clerkship. He was promoted from time to time until he reached the highest grade be Wasniyerox Bureav, Tre Ovana Bre, } . Tenner iow assistant secretary, and was really the balance wheel of the department, Sir Koight William R. Boweo, grand sec- of the grand lodge of Nebraska, is in v on behalf of the grand commandery of Knight Templars of Nebraska, to make arrangements for the visiting kunights of his state at the coming trieunial conclave, THE NEW STAMPS, “\What is the idea for advertising for pro- posals for a simaller postage stamp than those now iu usei” was & question put to Third Assistant Postmaster General Hazen by your cor respondent Saturday, General Hazen re- plie: It is not yet decided whether the smaller stamp shall bo substituted for the larger one, but the change in color will entail some addi- tional expense, and I think that this can be reduced ayain by the proposed reduction in size, that is to say, the cost of the higher priced inks which it is proposed to use ou the saller stamp will be offset by the smaller quantity required.” ‘*Has there becn any particular demand for u smailer sizea postage stump “No; the size does not seem ‘0 nave troubled the general public, It was the coler of the 2-cent variety against which the poo- test was made.” ““When was it decided to change its color I'he fate of the ‘sickly pale green’ was decided some months ago. It has been ouly 8 question as to just when the change should be made, aud we decided to wait until a new contract was awarded.” There was a time some years ago when the United States used a swaller stamp than that unow in vogue. It was during the period when instead of vigneltes the stamps were adorned with smalljhistorical pictures. This issue did not last very long, and it is quite probable that if a change is wado to a smaller #tamp again it will not be followed by the substitution of landscapes and other pictur- retary l“ e sceues for e bead of prowinent 0 Americans, which have become features of our postage stamp issues. TIME SERVERS, “The one thing that strikes me s quite strange,” said an old hanger-on around the departments, ‘*is the reniarkable difference in the utterances of a class of clerks in the departments from Indiana within the past few months, There were no more offensive- 1y partisan democrats than these Indiana follows all last summer. They scoffed at the civil service law, sneered at the republi- can nominee, swore by Voorhees, and de- clared their unqualified hatred to everythin with the name of republican attached, an openly bonsted that their resignagons wonld be atthe disposal of their superidrs the mo- ment that the political atmosphere in the white house should change, I have noticed, however, that these same Indiana people are the quictest lambs in the departmental service to-day. There were three or four who used o gather every afternoon in front of a restauraut on one of the side stroets, and thewr denunciations of the republican party and their laudation of Voorhees and the sainted Hendricks conld be heard for blocks. This little party secms 1o hava thrown up its charter, and 1o pore gutherings are held now. In fuct each of the crowd seems bent on getting his meals as far ¢ from his fellows as possible. 1 think that their work in_the department is very much better than it used to be, and I have no doubt that the public service is benefitted to that extent, but it shows how easy it is for men to change their political opinions, or at least to smother them when they fear that ir bread and butter is in danger. It is another evidence of the demoralizing t upon the manhood of & man which a government position has.” ARMY MATTERS, Cotonel Mike Sheridan, assistant adjutant gencral, United States army, who has been on duty at headquarters for several years, and hias been allowed to romain in Washing- ton to close up the affairs of General Sheri- dan’s estate, will shortly be detached and ordered to Chicago to succeed Colonel Cor- bin, and Colonel H. C. Wood 1s expected to return here. The understanding at the war department is that Colonel Corbin will go to Governor’s 1sland or to San Franciaco. Captain John G. Burke, third cavalry, who has been in Washington for the past two years on detail at the war department, will leave shortly for Chicago where he will resume his old duties as aide to General Crook, This change is made on the personal request of General Crook. e gt S ATTENTION, GREENBACRERS, An Invitation to Reorganize the Party Azain. WasniNGToN, July 7.—George O. Jones, chairman of the national greenback party, has issucd an invitation requesting all per- sons who desire to aid in reorganizing the national greenback party to meet in their re- spective states and congressional districts on or before Sevtember 4 next and appoint one delegate and one alternate to attend the na- tional greenback convention called to meet at Cincinnati September 12. The invitation is extended to those in favor of a distinct American policy regarding, its finances, who believe that full legal tender notes, ereen- backs, 18sued by the goverament for value received In promoving the general welfare, constitute the money which marks our ad- vancing civilization, mukes the best money the world ever saw and should become the permanent circulating medium of the Amer- ican people, the life of whose free government' - they saved, ~and that a party bearing. their name should be perpétuated, to keep these great truths constantly before the people. Those who believe with the prophet of old, that ‘money answereth altthings,” and that no other reform can be wisely considered nor honestly determined untii tho great economic wrongs brought about by bad legislation have been corrected and the mooey question forever settled in the interest of the whole people; and who are willing to act in accord- ance with the spirit of the resolution passed by the constitutional congress of 1773, viz: *“'Not to eat, drink, wear nor use anything manufactured in Great Britain; nor after oue year trade with any one who deale in £oods brought here under the British flag.” The call says ikat the reorganized party will also advocate the payment of publi debts according to the original contract under which they were issued; the encouragement of the American merchant marine and of home industries, the limitation of debts of corporations to the amount of stock actually paid up, for the restriction of dividends of corporations to a fair return on the invest- ment and therestriction of private owner- ship of land. e O A C THE DULUTH RIOTS, The Militia Prepored to Move at a Moment's Natice. Durvrn, Minn.,, July 7'—Last night the strikers made a desperate attempt to kill Joe Wolf, of the firm of Wolf & Knot, who have been particularly obnoxious to them. While Wolf was driviog in the west end he was surrounded by strikers and stones were thrown at him. Wolf jumped and escaped Jjust as the police came up. The wagon was overturned and demolished by the strikers. Ofticer Force was found to have received in- juries on the legs by gtones thrown by the strikers, y The friends of Carlson. claim that he had nothing to do with the strike, although he was arrested by the police as the leader Captain McLaughlin aimed at him uwice ut close range but the shot did not take effect. Affairs quieted down | last night, but there were fears of an outbrehl this morning. The air is still thick with ugly rumors, but with hundreds of well armed special policemen it is believed that the authoritics, with the as- sistance of the militid, will bé able to with- stund any attack. The'militia is prepared to move at & moment’s nptice, and the pol; will be employed in the neighborhood of yes- terd ay’s disturbance. . The mayor has given orders to aisperso all gssemblics promptly, and the contractors whl=res ime work to- morrow morning under police protection at the former rate of wages. It is difficult W get at tho true faous concerning the dead and wounded among the strikdrs, Many were taken away durng the battle and could not be traged to their homes or boarding places. From what can be learned at the hospitals and bording houses, a fair estimate of the woundad will be twenty-five, and several more are ghought to be seriously injured. It is not positively kuown that more than one man 18 dead, kEd Johnson, aged twenty- five. The death of Matt Mack, aged toirty- five, and Tom Fitzsiinmons, uged eighteen, is momentarily expected, and it 18 probable that all the others will recover. Of the po- lice, all are doing well and several have returned to duty, limpig slightly or carry- ing an arm in a sling. "The action of the police is unanimously commended and their bravery praised. It is seitled to the satis- faction of everypody that the strikers were the uggressors. ¢ Late this evening, a8 ap additional precau- tion, the sheriff swore in thirty extra depu- ties, and the army now numbers nearly 200 determined men.’ A servant gl of thy sheriff on returning horie from church to.day overheard some strikers pl ining ncendiary fires and as a result Lue ofticors are gn watch.

A LIMIT TO THE The Sum Which the Constitu‘fon Al- lows It to Incur Considered Entirely Too Small-A Plan for Relief AMOUNT, €light Trouble in Prospect. Srovx Fat July [Special Telegram to e B |—Unbless tho con- stitutional convention stands by the recom- mendation which its committee on state and county indebtedness makes there will be a first-class row over the limitation of stato indebtedness, which is the most important problem to be determined. The fight over it will be commenced by the middle of the week, if not earlicr, and if thero is a dead lock that will bo the bone of it in il praba bility, The constitution of the state of South Dakota, as it now stands, provides that the indebtedness shall at no time exceed £500,000. At the very outset it will be compeiled to take upon itself a larger indebtedness than this amount in round figurcs. South Dakotn will inherit 700,000 of the $1,100,000 or $1,200,000 indebtedness of the territory on the basis now understood for the apportionment or division of the debt. South Dakota, to_be moro precise, will ns- sume §650,000 indobtedness, It is held by some of the technical constructionists that the costitution will not have to be changed, as the language of it means that the state shall ot contract or create more that £500,~ 000 indebtedness, whoreas the €050,000 it will assume is a territorial debt. Be that as it may, the state will have £650,000 to pay, and 80 the matter is as long as it is short, looked at in any light. Delegate Sterling, of Sprink county, will bo chairman of the committee which will report on this subject, and he will recommend one of three propo- sitions, namely : 1. That the limit in the constitution bo creased to £650,000, leaving the legisl: power to create debts of any kind. 2. That the limit, s it_now stands, be not changed, but_that provision bo wade on a separate scction for the ussur S ption of South Dakota’'s share of the territory's aebts. in- are no 3. That the limit be increased to £750,000, which would allow $150,000 for necessary expenses incident to the changes which must be mads in the coming state. . It is generally believed by the lead of the convention that the sccond proposition will be the one recommended. There would not, as the conditions now exist, be any funds for establishing a now capitol. and, furthermore, it would be uniawful to raise funds unless the constitu- tion was changed. This is a very im- portant matter, and, as I have said, unless the convention readily adopts the recommendations of the committee it will lead to almost interminable discussion, Many are the demands being made for changes in the constitution, but the leaders will try to counfine the work to as small bounds as possible. A demund is made by oliticians for o large increase jn the legis- ative districts. The constitution avpresent provides for mmety-uine members of the lower house. The politicians say there must be 149, an increase of fifty, The constitu- tion now provides for thres members of the upper house, orsenate. The politicians say this number must be increased to about fifty. Tho statesmoen say that if this is done Presi- dent Harrison may refuse to issue & pro mation admitting South Dakota to state- hood, and thus congress would have to be invoked for another law. The constitution at present provides that but one constitu- tional amendment shall be submitted at a time to the people for ratification. Nearly v one says this is foolish and a demand will come that thix be stricken out. 'The county officers in the proposed state want a clause inserted providing that the county officers elected last November shall serve tiil the regular state election in 18 will not carry. A caucus is talked of for the purpose of agreeing upon an order for busi- ness armendments to be made. Unless this is done there may be merry war at any time. ¥ Hearm, PATRIOTISM AND POLITICS. Both of Them Receive Attention From South Dakota People. Hukoy, S. D., July 6.—[Special to Tnr Bes.]—The thousands of patriotic people of this state honored themselves by the mag- niticent manner in which they celebrated In- dependence day. This they did because it is our first Independence day—the first Fourth of July on which we could look out and actually sce independence just ahead —the promised land in sight. The chief ceicbrations were in Huron, Sioux Falls, Armadale and Brookings. In Huron “Sun- set”” Cox was the orator, while Judge Mood; made & very fine speech and Governor Mel lette spoke a few words. Mr. Cox's ora- tion was a gem of the purest ray. He had taken great care in preparing it, and it was deficient in nothing. It was delivered in the opera house, which will only seat 1 people, There were 12,000 visitcis in the city, hence many did mot hear it. But the Huronians are so hosp itable that the order went out, ronians allowed 10 the hall during Cox’ speecn,” And it was eunforced. Later the gentloman spoke to the crowds out in the park, which at least satisfied them with a sight of Dakota's Lafavette, The procession ‘was the length of two miles, Sioux alls had a very imposing procession, and E. E, Clough, “'the fighting parson’ of Watertown, made them an excellent spoech. Huundreds of old soldiers held a reunion in Brookings; five thousand Kuup]e assembled at Armadale, and many other smaller cele- brations were held all over the state. It was the happiest fourth that many of us had ever known—the oldest settlers being the hap- piest. The clans are getting into battle array. The republicans have fixed the day for their nominating convention; next week the dem- ocratic committee will hold & meeting in Sioux Falls to arrange for their state con- vention, True, their convention will be about as uninteresting an affair as a demo- cratic convention in Vermont. But the faithful will go through the motions in hope of a better day by and by. General 'l‘A_\'fur. long a democratic editor in Yaukton, and oné of the most popular citizens of the ' state, i liable to be their nominee for governor Judge Tripp, of Yankton, and John M.

Hood, of Aber- deen, and H. E. Kratz, of Mitchell, desire to be superintendent of public instruction. The friends of John H. Patten, of Miner county, believe that he would honor the chair of lieutenant governor, and they will be heard from io this behalf, There is no doubt that the “‘outs” are pre- pared to make an assault on the convention or the purpose of inducing taat body to order an election of county officers this fall, They have been very quietin working up this matter, but itis well under way and will need to be vigialutly matched if the plan is nullified. No Hu A Chance For Omaha Capitalists, Warerrowx, 8.

There are about seventy five thousand votes in South Dakota and the place that succeeds in getting 80,000 of them will win.

A SWARM OF OFFICE-SEEKERSs Plenty of Patriots Willing and Evem Anxious to Have Their Names Placed Upon the Pay Roil of the State, Candidates Being Groo ned. Des Morxgs, In,, July 7.—[Special to Tnm Bek. |—Politics are beginning to warm up in Towa and the candidates for tho more impor- tant state ofiices are rapidly developing. From now until the 14th of August, the date of tho republican convention, the whole state will be aglow with political excitement and the feeling is Yound to run high between the adherents of tho various aspirants for polit- ical honors, Three leading candidates are alrcady in the fleld for governor, with any number of dark horses in the background, Lieutenant Governor Hull, of this city, was vrobably first i the field—in fact he has. been a standing candidute for several years as being in the direct line of political promo- tion. Captain Hull was a brave eoldier and is personally extremely popular, but he is heavily handicapped by the support of nearly all the recognized corporation organs. As president of the senate two years ago it is claimed he was not in full sympathy with the ! ment, were arrested in Loudon to-duy, railroad legislation that wus enacted, and en- deavored to defeat bills of this natura by the. appointment of hostile committees. Captain. Hull was originally an anti-monopolist, and once made the race for the nomination for governor on this platform, but many of his friends have deserted him on the ground that. he “'has faltered by the wayside,” and has not kept pace with the rapidly advancing anti-monopoly sentiment. Among his most determined opponents are the Daily News. and the Homestead, of this city, both of which are favorable to Wheeler, ‘the *far- mer” candidate. ‘The Homestead exercises a powerful influence among the farmers, and this is bound to tell largely in the cauvass. Captain Hull is also efubarrassed in his can- diducy by the fact that Jodge Josiah jiven, of thi ty, who is now filling’ & vacaucy on the supreme bench by appointient, is a candidate for the full term. Judge Gliven seems to be Hull's “po- litical double.” Whenever Hull aspires to an_ofice Given is sure to be on the track, and the effect is to so complicate the canvass as to neutralize the efforts of the frionds of cach candidate. Polk county can hardly ex- pect to capture two of the leading omfices, and. tha inevitable result will be that tie fricods of Given und Hull will knife cach other in the convention. Both candidates, however, are on friendly terms, ind Polk county will send a solid delegation to the convention in- structed to support Hull for governor aad GiVen for supreme judge. The fatal work will be done by the warm partisans of each in lobbying with outside delegations in the hotel corridors before tho battle opens. Another aspiraut for the republican nom= ination for governor is Senator Hutchison, of Ottumw; cuator Hutchison is a man’ of large political experience and one of tho most alert and sagacious politicians in the state. He is o banker, well supplied with the ‘‘sinews of war,” afid lias apparendly kone into the fizht to win. Senator’ Am.uhlh- son is unfortunate in_having been a member of the state senate during thoe lust sessio: Being naturally of a conservative turn o mind, he voted ‘ngainst most of the pronosed railrond legislation and stood in with the op- atructionists on many occasions. However, he m good record ou othier cconomig questions, and is universally regarded a8 g cloan, capable man, who would dignify the governor’s chair should he be called to that position. Wapello county will send up.s sting delegation, and he will quite entnusiastic support from his eutire congrossional distr ‘The third leadimg candidate for the repub- lican nomination for goveraor is Hoo, H, C. Wheeler, of Sac_cou Mr. Whecler en- joys the distinction of being the lurgest favmer in the state, Ho owns und farms nine sections of land near the tewn of Ode- bolt and hins beon very successful 1n his busi- ness carcer, Herctofore Mr. Wheeler has been rogarded as a_conservative ou the rail- road question, but h d in heartily with the work of the Farn alliance, and the support of thut powerful organization, so far 28 it may have an influence on politics, will be pr Ly solid for Whecler, Locality will also figiro to his advantage. The eps tire northwestern par of the stute is moral; certain to coie down as a unit for Wheeler, and the infection will extend to the cast and south to an indefinite extent. Of the papers i northern lowa, the Spirit Lake Beacon, edited by Senator Funk, is friendly to Senutor Hutchinson, and he will quite likely receive o fow. seat- tering votes that should naturally go to Wheeler. I'he influence of the soldier ele~ ment, which is no inconsiderable politicgl fuctor in this state, will go lareely to g und In this lica Iis greatost atrongthy Fhis is the only source from which Whecier may expect litile or no support. Several papers, especially in the southwestern part of the stute, socmed determined upon the renomine ation of Governor Larrabee for a third serm but it is understood that the governor will positively decline to allow his name to be presented to the convention, That Gover- nor Larrabee 1s popular in Towa goes with~ out saving.
