The b iodle conference at Indian- apolis was killed by its own hands. J. M. Trotter’s telegram to elect Turner permanent chairman, killed him. Turner looked up and said, in a crying tone, “I deserve something don’t I?” You will vote for me wont you? Trotter wrote some resolutions and instructed the lieutengnts to pass them. They were passed un- der the table by C. H, J. Taylor. Taylor was too much for Turner. The boodle convention could have bought for $500. Quite a number hadn’t money enoug® to pay their hotel bill.

Taylor telegraphed to New York that Trotters candidate was de- feated. : The recorder of deeds would like to be a dictator but he is too light. The President is tired of Trotter.

The leaders of the Cleveland League, of New York and New Jersey, have been in consultation for the past few days and have hired headquarters and made ar- rangements for the distribution of documents or they have notified both state and national committees that they don’t intend asking either of these committees for one dollar, they intend to show what they can do for the success of Cleveland and Thurman in this doubttul State and N. J. by the returns on election day. The conference at the city of Indianapolis adjourned sine dei, bat the New York Trisune says that there are a lot of Trotters manipulators stranded there who are waiting for Trotters check to q prevent them from walking home. Trotter lied when he said he had authority for his action in discharg- ing the only two voters whom the Hon. J.C. Matthews left in the Recorders office of the District of Columbia, and kept only those whom he knew had no vote any- where. Heis the last man to at- tempt to hoodwink the voters of any state into supporting any seheme to keep him in an office that he is nowise able to fill, there- fore his telegram to Indianapolis to have J. Milton Turner temporary and permanent chairman was laid on the table and sat upon by the conference, who, while strongly in favor of the democratic ticket, did not consider Trotters wishes as worthy of notice. Trotter lied him- self into the Recorders office and will lie himself out. The Cuban picnic on the 30th, at Sullzers Park, was a complete suc- cess, and their reputation for first class entertainments was fully sus- tained. <A large crowd of their freinds spent a very pleasant even- ing there. Mrs. Smith, of Texas, is stopping at Mrs. Comelia Hills, on 40th st. Prof. W. A. St.Clair, of North Carolina, is at the home of Mr. W, E. Pross on 39 street. The Cuban Giants have won more games up to this time than they did last season. Among their victories are games won from the Athletics, of Brooklyn and the Ath- letics of Philadelphia. This club has done more under S, K, Governs management, to break down pre- judice than any organization among colored men in this country, Mrs. Lillie Powell and L. H. Gov- ern are among the late arrivals at the Gilbert House. D. A. Green and C. W. Ander- son have made arrangements to issue a monthly journal to be known as the RouTE, The first issue will be out early in August, Hon, J. C. Matthews and family were in the city Sunday. On Mon- day they left Prof. Reasons, where they spent Sunday, for Mt. Holly, N.J., where with Misses M. Matth- ews and Lucy Moten they are to spend a month. The New York World last Sun-~ day, was shrieking in hollow tones about Harrison’s remarks on the negro. It is true that Mr. Harrison did say that the negro had done harm to himself. No sensible man will take exceptions to it, nor will we attempt to pal- liate or deny its truth. There is a difference betwean ajust criti- cism made by an honest man and a friend, and a criticism loaded with calumny and mountainous hatred. Harrison’s words were a suggestion serving to point out mistakes to be avoided in the fu-~ ture. These same words have been spoken by others in rebuke, serving to embarass us. Our frieads point out mistakes that we may profit by them. It cannot be gainsaid that whatever of good that has come to the negro it has been most vigorously opposed by the democrats. | Whether pri- marily or secondarily with the republicans they bave brought us much benefit. Black men will not be led off by the ears. They are beginning to search their his- tory. They are reading up bills and measures passed in both houses of Congress. They read the utterances of both sides. They are enabled by the light of their own judgement to recognize their friends. They will not fiese for protection in robbery caves, nor acposa the threshold of avowed enemies, MARRIAGE OF H. ©. BRUCE AND NANNIE P. GEE. A large number of H. C. Bruce’s friends chartered a car on the B. & M. to go to Highland, to witness the marriage ot H. ©. Bruce to Nannie P. Gee. They were also accompanied by a fine string band, which made it very pleasant for the party. They arrived at Highland station about 1 o’clock , where they were detained for probably three- quarters of an hour, arranging for the conveyances for transportation to Highland, which was a pleasant drive over a beau- tiful country. They never saw anything to equal the prospect for a good corn crop. There was a hard rain there Sunday night, aud the rain came down in torrents yes- terday morning when they left there, but when they came home they found it had not rained a drop here. However, the party arrived at Highland, finding a beautiful in- land‘town, every residence being surrounded by a beantiful lawn. They stopped at the Bacrett House, one of the finest hotels in the West, and found the proprietor a perfect gentleman, This was about a uarter after 3 o’clock, and natur- ally they feltJike diving. Mr. Bar- rett said his cook was sick and din- ner was all over, and it rather placed him in a bad position ; how- ever he would do the best he could. In less then twenty-five minutes ne had refreshments served, good enough for avy presidential party. After dinner they went out on the lawn and the string band struck up some of their beautiful music, which attracted as much attention as if Dan Rice or Forepaugh had struck the town. They kept up this melodious strain for about an hour, and then left that lawn and went to the edge of the town, where several foot races took place, and wrestling matches, and a base ball game. This being about 6 o’clock they went to the house of Mrs. Hubbard, where the wedding was to take place at 8 o’clock, on a handsome lawn furnished with one of the best wells in Kansas. The lawn was beautifully decorated with electric lights of Highland and Chinese lanterns. The lawn was also furnished with music, in which Mrs. Kelsey Hudson did her- self great honor. At 8 o’clock sharp time was call- ed, every eye was sparkling to see the bride and groom march in, looking as gay as if they were just sweet sixteen, although neither is much under forty. The bride was attired in an elegant lavender satin, with Spanish lace drapery, and orange blossoms, hair fixed high and white kid gloves. The groom was attired in a black suit of Prince Albert style, and white tie and white kid gloves. Rev. H.H. Lucas of North Topeka, Kansas, officiated. Refreshments were sery- ed in abundance. Mr. and Mrs. Bruce received a large number of very valuable presents, too nnmer- ous to mention. The guests enjoyed themselves by vocal and instrumental music until 12 o’clock, then retired for the depot, and arrived at Atchison at 6 o’clock, sharp. Mr. and Mrs. Bruce arrived last evening at 4 o’clock, and went to his residence, where they staid over night. This afternoon they will go to Leavenworth, wherea reception will be awaiting them to be given by Mr. and Mrs, Harris his sister, and on Saturday they left for Washington. Among those present were Mr. Li: A. Bruce, Mrs. L.,Harris, siste: of the groom, Miss Nora M. Bruce, daughter of the groom, Mr. and Mrs. Kelsey Hudson, Mr. and Mrs, H. Elegan, Mr. and Mrs. K, L.

The old time hospi- tality of this pleasant home was dis- pensed with a genial gracefulness by the hostesses, Misses Lula and Mamie Stewart. No recent social event has assembled a more bDrill- iant company ot the youth and beauty of our city. There were ‘syoung school-marms” there, and “sweet girl graduates,” and school misses, all commingled iu one con- glomerate mass of loveliness that made the beaux ‘wink and smile and smile again.” There were some interesting beaux there, some of them interesting on account of their youthfulness, and some inter- esting on account of their age. In the midst ofsuch a company and under the inspiration of such sur- roundings what wonder is it that every one enjoyed himself to the fullest extent? It would be an in- vidious discrimination to name only a few in this large company of cou- genial spirits, and yet this space could not contain all their names. Among the school marms were Misses Linnie Waring, Lillie Welch, Mary McKinney, Maude Baker, Daisey Coleman, Hattie Bruce, Alice Strange, Mollie Syphax, Bes- while the ‘“‘sweet girl graduates” and school misses were represented by Misses Sadie Gaskins, Julia Peters, Mary Somerville, Goines, and others. present.

Not very far from Stamford there |is a manufacturing company at | the head of which isa well-known |and popular Democrat, and a | professed Free-Trader. Nearly | all his lieutenants and a majority of their workman are Democrats, | The raw materials used in their fac- ‘ories are ull foreign products, | Upon their manufactured goods | there is a specific duty of 4 cents per pound and an ad valorem daty of 83} per cent. In spite of this Protection Ger- man and Spanish manufacturers send to this country moderate quantities of the same goods. (he company is prosperous, and most of the employees are getting homes of their own. e dare not say how large « percentage the owners are getting ou their investment, but probably no manu- facturing business in Connecticut pays better, The Mills bill as originally drawn put their goods on the free list. Immediately the company sent to Washington their regular lobby- ist, but he failed to alter the bill. Another member of the company was added, and presented their side of the case in about this style: “Our mills are Jocatd in the doubt- fal States of Connecticut and New Jersey. Nearly all of our workmen vote the Democratic ticket. Unless you take our manufactured goods from the free list our men will vote the Repub- lican ticket this fall, and, being 1000 strong, may decide the issue of the election.” The Mills committee, on this representation, struck out these goods from the free list, and, not only that, but actually increased the specific duty from 4 to 5 cents per pound and the ad valorem duty from 334 to 35 per cent. ! Tariff League Bulletin. It is not so much for the inter- est of the manufacture that the increase was favored as it was to capture democratic votes. ———s1a oe Mr. Kelly Miller of Johu Hopkins University, was in town this week, He camein response to an invitation of Dr. Francis to take a positson in the High school. Mr. Miller respectfully declined the offer, preferring not to sus pend his studies at present. He is persuing a post graduate course in mathemstics, Physics and As— tronomy. This course is three years. Mr, Miller has just com~ pleted his first year with credit to himself and his race. Mr. Miller is a remarkable young man, and we shall watch his progress with interest. He graduated from Howard Univer- sity several years ago, and obtained a thousand dollar clerkship in the Pension office through a civil ser- vice examination. After spend- ing three years in the Pension office, aed preparing privately for the mathematical course in Johns Hopkins University under an eminent Professor, he resigned his clekrship’aud resumed his studies.
