National Republican Convention
A SUMMARIZED ACCOU\T OF THE P/O
CEEDINGS.
Senator Don Cameron, cTialrman of th?
National Republican committee, called the
presidential convention at Chicago to order,
and called upon the Kcv. Dr. Kittredge, ol
Chicago, who opened ihe proooedings with
prayer. At the leanest ol Mr. Cameron,
Secretary Keogh rend the cail for the conven*
lion. Mr. Cameron then addressed th<
assembly, raying he hoped that whatever
bitterness liad been manuesieu iu uukhjui
tactions ol the country would now disappear;
that there should !>.? a determination to place
in nomination "the strongest possible candidates?
men strong in themselves, strong in
the confidence and affections of the people,
and men who will command the respect ol
the civilized world." Concluding, he said:
"When the nominations are made and the
convention has completed iu? work, let there
be but one sentiment animating all earnest,
sincere and unselfish Republicans, and let
that be that each shall vie with ti.e other in
carrying our grand old party to victory."
Mr. Cameron then announced that he
had been instructed by the national committee
to put in nomination for temporary
ohairman, Senator Gooree F. Hoar, of Massachusetts.
The nomination was unanimously
ratified, and Messrs. Davis, ol Texas; Frye,
ot Maine, and Raum, ol Illinois, were appointed
a committee to conduct him to the chair.
Senator Iloar, upon taking the platform,
mado a speech attacking the Democratic
party and declaring that "the Rfpublican
party lives that every man within our bordors
may dwell sccure 111 h nappy nome, may um i
and have counted liis equal vote, may send
his child at the public chargo to a lieo bohool.
Until theie things co:ne to pass, lrotn tho
Atlantic t> tho Pacific, Irom Canada to tho
Gulf, the mission ot our party is not accomplice).
nor its wmfaro with its ancient
adversary ended." Juhn II li'berts, ot Illinois,
and U. I.- McGee, ol I'ennsylvai ia, were
then appointed temporary secretaries; and
Chns. W. Clisby, ot Alabama. and ./ C.
Broadwe'l, <>i Missouri, reading clerk*.
Kugene Davis, ot New York, was appointed
tho ofiici'il stenographer. Upon motion ol
Engeuo Hale the roll ol Stiles was calkd and
committees?one delegate Irom each Stale
and Territory on each committee?on permanent
organization, on rules and order ol
business, on credentials a -.d on resolutions,
were appointed. Utah had been omitted Irom
tho roll-call, and was added theretJ (Mr.
Conkling at first objecting and afterward
withdrawing his objection) upon Mr. Frye's
HfniAmpnt that the secretary ol the national
commitu o had said thfl ommim-ion was a mistake.
Alabama and Arkansas i^&ve notice of
o ntcsta, Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, gavo
notice ot a contest in ten districts of Illinois.
Mr. Warmouth gave notice of a contest in
Louisiana; contests were also announced in
i Pennsylvania and U tah; in tbe last named by
Mr. Conkling, by request. Senator Logan
/ movod that instructions be given to the committee
on tickets ot admission to iuue 500
tickets daily to the Veteran association. He
aid that justice had been done to the veterans :
by oveiy other National Republican conven- I
tioD, and why Aould it not be done now and j
hero. There wore veteran eoldiers supporting |
each of the presidential candidates, so thai
there waa.no particular motive in his motion.
His motion was seconded by General Kilpat*iok
and adopted, and then upon Mr. ConkKng's
mot:o'n the convention adjourned until
the following day.
On the second day, after prayer by Rev. F.
A. Noble, ot the Union Park Congregational
church, Chicago, the regular proceedings
opened by Mr. Conkling's inquiring whether
.the committee on contested seat* was ready
to repoitThe chairman replied that the
committee wfts not ready, and Mr. Conkling
then eaid that he understood the committee
would not report until late in the alternoon,
and as no business could properly be done
until it was ready to report, he moved a
rece?8-until night. Mr. Conkling declined to
"give way a moment to Mr. Hale, 'when that
gentleman raised the point ol order that the
motion to take a recess was debatable, and
his point ol order was sustained by the chair.
Mr. Hale then opposed the motion to take a
v recess, Baying there was business which could
be done by the convention in ad v.woe of the
, . report on credentials. Mr. Conkling in reply
said that all the work the convention could
before live o'clock Was to sit on uncushioh?4
seats. His motion therefore was one
of convenience. It was an open secret that
- the committee on permanent organization
would report in favor of the continuance in
the chair of the present presiding officer. It
.* ^ 1 would not take Ave minutes to effect tho permanent
organization. Mr. Hals, in reply,
said that if Mr. Conkling's argument was
- ?ound,*and its theory adopted in every legisla>
_ tive body, all business being suspended until
all questions ol contested seats were settled,
" done wonld ever do any business. The motion"
to take a recess was rejected, and on
. * motion the convention instructed the com- j
mittee on permanent organization to report !
at once. Mr. Pierson, of New York, from
that committee, stated that its members wero
entirely harmonious in their action, and ho
was ready to report as tar as they had been
able to complete their work. They were not
sure,.in advanoe ol action by the committee
on contested .seats, whether the names they
hud agreed upon from the contested States |
wero those ol members of the convention.

twn upon the adoption of the report and de- i
clared it carried. Mr. Hoar was then presented j
as presiding officer, and in a few words |
. thanked the convention. Mr. Frye moved |
, < that tho committee on rules and order ot j
business bo instructed to repoxt, but withdrew
? * ^ the motion when Mr. Garfield, chairman ol
that committee, stated that Mr. Sharpe had !
? asked permission to make a minority report on |
behalt of nine States, to wliioh no objection j
had been made. Tnen, alter a passage bo- i
' tweon Messrs. Conkling and Frye, a recess J
was taken until evening. At the evening j
session Mr. Henderson, ol Iowa, moved
that the committee on rules bo requested to j
report. General Logan, General Sharpe. Mr.
Boutwell, and General Harrison spoke !
?i!ai:<bl tho oiiginal resolution. General
Garfield and Mr. Henderson spoke in lavor ef j
it. Mr. Sharpe. of New York, moved as a i
sub-titute that the committee on credentials ]
bo requested to report also. Mr. Conkling
spoke in support ot the aub^titute. Tho roll j
whs culled amid great excitement, the vot? I
be'114 regarded as a teat ot strength between j
tho Grant and the anti-Grant lactions. No |
attention.was paid to the unit rulo, each '
< < l<-gate voting lor himself. The substitute [
as beaten by 318 yeas, 406 nays. Tne !
pending motion was then laid on the table, ,
and tho convention adjourned until tho fol- |
owing day.
'lev. Aithur Little, ol the Now Eng'an)
U >ngreg .tional church, Chicngo, npen?:d the
third day's sossion with prayt-r. Mr. Conk- I
ling be^an the wort ol the day by olTsiing a j
rcso?-i*i?n that it was the sense ot tho cr>n !
voiilu'it that " every member ot it is bound
in honor to s ipport its nominee whoever that
nomine e muy b-j. and that no man should |
hold his seat here who is not ready so to
agree. ' Mr. Hale said ho supposed a It-publican
convention did not need to bo instructed
that its first duty was to elect its candidate
alter naming him; that all have their preteronces,
but if Mr. Conkling's candidate were
nominated he (Mr. Hale) and his Iriends
. would work night and day to elect him, and
- il they nbinina'ed their candidate, they would
expect Mr. Conkling to work for him night and
day. A voto was then taken, and tho re?olution
was carried by 71C yeaa to 3 nays-tho
latter from West Virginia. Mr. Conkling
then ofl'ertd a resolution "that the do?egat???
who have voted that they will not abide by
the action of the convention do not deseive to
h ive, and have torleitea meir vcues m uw
convention." Mr. Campbell, of We?t Virginia,
delended hia position, and alter iurtb?r
debate Mr. Conkling withdrew hit resolution,
saying there seemed to be some doubt. Mr.
IJruce (colored) was called temporarily to the
obair, and Mr. Garfield, lrom the committee
on roles, presented the majority report ol hi<
committee on the rules to govern the convention,
the most important sectio > being tha:
- which forbade' any unit rule. Mr Sharpe
p.esenled the miubrity report ot the comtnittec
on rules, signed by the delegates from
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentncky, Mm;
itoippi, Missouri, ,New York, Tennessee
Virginia, Illinois and Colorado, recommend- !
'. ug tho adoption ol the rule regarding the
* easting ol votes which prevailed at the convention
in 1876. Mr. Conger, irom tho committee
on credentials, next presented tho
majority report ot that committee in favor ot
the contesting delegations from Alabama, I
Illinois and Louisiana. Mr. Clayton preieut
?d a minority report in favor ot the sitting
members. Mr. Clayton's motion to substitute j
the minority report of the committee on ere- I
deutials for the majority report was defeated j
a'ter debate by a vote ot 449 nays to 306 yeas, j
and the majority report was then adopted.
. At the eveniog session a remarkable scene ot
uproar took place during the debate on the
question ot admitting the contesting delegates
Itom Illinois. The cheering, as the names ot
different candidates for the nomination were '
[ >
mentioned was tremendous, spectators ami
delegate! alike jumping to their seats, waving
bats, canes, umbrellas and flags, and yelling
themselves hoarse. At 3 A. x., after longcontinued
scenes of tumult and excitement,
such as havs never before been witnessed in a
convention, the Illinois contesting delegates
ware a trained, and tho convention adjourned.
Ob the fourth day, after prayer by Rev.
John R. Baxter, of Washington, four Grant
delegates from Kansas, the Sherman contesting
delegates from West Virginia and two
Grant delegates from Utah were admitted to
seats. A motion by Mr. Sharpe, ol New
York, that the convention proceed to ballot
lor presidential nominees, was opposed by Mr.
Garfield on the ground that the rules for tho
government of the convention had not yet
been adopted, and that therefore the convention
was without a rule prescribing whether tho
unit rule or whether ths right ol district representation
should prevail. Mr. Sharpo's motion
was defeated by 4 79 nays to 276 yeas, when
ho moved that the minority report of the
commiitee on rnles bo adopted, but this mo
tion was also defeated ana tne commuiee s
mnjority report was adopted. Mr. Pier-epont,
on behalf of tiie committee on resolutions,
then presented theplatlorm. Mr. Barker, ot?
Massachusetts, moved to amend by adding a
plunk declaring in favor ol civil service reform
and that office holders should retain their
positions as long as thoy behave themselves.
The amendment, except that part
which related to the tenure ot office, wa*
accepted and the platlorm was then adopted,
after which the convention took a
recess until 7 P. M. At the evening session
the new national committee was named, and
then upon Mr. Hale's motion a call ol the roll
ol Stales in alphabetical order was had for the
purpose of making nominations for President.
When Michigan was called Mr. Joy, ol the
delegation from that State, nominated Jame3
G. Blaine iu a speech which was lrequently
? 1 TU?
received with ouitmrsrs 01 appiuuee. mo

Frank M. Pixley, of Calilornia, who was lollowedby
Mr. Frye, ol Maine, in a speech in
which he referred to the recent election trouble
in Mttine and said that during that crisis
Mr. Blaine had steered " that graud old ship,
the State ot Maine," into a harbor of saiety
Mr. Drako, ot Minnesota, nominated Senator
William Windom, ot that State. The nomination
was not seconded. Whon New l'ork
was called Senator Conkling mounted a table
on tho reportors' stand and nominated Uiysses
S. Grant. During hi9 speech Mr. Conkling
pronounced a high eulogium upon the character
o: General Grant, saying that he, more
surely than any other man, could carry Now
York against any opponent; that with him as
a leader they would have no defensive campaign,
no apologies to make; that his integrity,
his common sense and his uncqualed
experience in this and foreign lands were
the qualities offered his country; that to
General Grant more than to any other man
was due the lact that every paper dollar wai
good as gold, and that his nomination would
be the dtath-blow to Democratic success. Mr.
Conkling concluded by saying: " Wo bave
only to listen above the din and look beyond
the dust ol an hour to behold the Republican
party advancing to victory with its greatest
marshal at ite head.' His speech was concluded
amid tumultuous cheers and great excitement,
tho Grant dole/ates Irom New York
and other States walking in procession
through the aisles, bearing a largo 11 ig and
a portiait ol the general. Mr. Bra'ley, ol
Kentucky, second* d Grant's nomination.
When Ohio was called Mr. Garfield advanced
to the place just vacated by Mr. Conkling and
nominated John Sherman. Mr. Garfield paid
a high tributa to Secretary Sherman's financial
policy and career as a Republican, and
said that he had shown himself "able to meet
in the calmuess of statesmanship all the great
emergencies ol government." Mr. Sherman's
nomination was seconded by Messrs. Winkler,
ol Wisconsin, and Elliott (colored), of South
Carolina. Vermont being called, Mr. Billing*
put in nomination Senator Geor ge F.Edmund*,
who, the speaker said, amid applause, was <' a
candidate weak nowhere, but strong everywhere."
Mr. Edmunds' nomination was
seconded by Mr. Sanford, of Massachusetts.
Mr. Gassidv, ot Wisconsin, next nominated
Eliha B. Washbnrne, ot Illinois. Mr. Brandagee,
ol Connecticut, seconded the nomination
in a speech which was applauded, and during

and those reserved Is to be determined by the National 1

Thl?l?The work of popular education Is one left to
the care of the several States, but It Is the duty of the '
National government to aid that work to the extent of f
Its c- nstituttonal duty. The luto.l|gen?c of the nation is
but the aggregate of the Intelligence In the several
States, ana the destiny of the nation must be guided not t
by the genius of any one State, but by the average genius
of all.

Making Flat! Krod.J
We dismounted at Gjelde, and found 1
j ourselves in a mountain hut or cottage, 1
the interior so dark that we could >
scarcely distinguish the long deal table
at one end, a rough chair or bench here 1
and there, and a bed in a kind of re- <
I cess. A woman, the sole occupant, 1
i appeared glad to see any one coming i
up from the world, though that world ]
might be no larger or more important '

I near a braize fire, in a chimney almost 1
J as big as the hut itself. The woman 1
I was rolling out some oat-cake dough 1
I into the thickness of a sixpence, large \
j and round about two feet in diameter, i
When rolled it seemed tough and hard, J
I more like paper than anything else.
This, with acrobatic dexterity and the '
aid of a long thin Btick, she tossed 1
upcn a large flat piece of iron, a sort of !
frying-pan without side9, and placed it ;
j upon the embers. When baked it is
j tossed again on to a pile lying beside 1

Italian statisticians calculate that

27,690 Italian settlers. The numbers

The Northwestern Lumberman remarks
hat each year's product of nearly 17,100,000
feet of timber in the United
Slates, signifies the total extinction
md "wiping out of a given quantity,
vhich cannot be restored in the natural
jrder of things. It is useless to argue
hat the amount now in sight is vast
ind sufficient for a generation to come,
["lie fact remains that the limit is growng
narrower each year, and the circle
>f commercial timber growth is being
jroughtinto smaller limits, xne ceners
of the pine lumber production ol
ifty years a?o are now, many of them,
mporters of lumber, and in all the disippearance
of pine is noted in the promnence
given to hemlock, spruce, and
)ther timbers suited only for coarsei
lses. Unlike cotton, another crop will

Paper Car Wheels.
A New York correspondent of the
tfolyoke (Mass.) Paper World says:
Tbe increased manufacture and adop,ion
of paper car wheels is making quite
in important addition to the many inlustries
in which paper figures as ac
:ver-growing and almost unlimited elenent
of strength and utility. These
ivheels are in much more common use
,ban is generally supposed. They are
ised to a greater or less extent (that is
lave been generally adopted or are beng
given atrial) on nearly all the principal
railroads of the country, among
;hem being tnc Boston ana Aioany aim
lie Connecticut River roads, the Jattei
jf which has used them for the last si>
fears. The Pullman Palace Car comaany
are putting them under all of theii
,iew cars. The entire equipment of th<
Metropoli an Elevated railroad,engines
ind cars, are running on paper wheels
jo that it can safely be said that the rolling
stock of this company (whose stocli
lias figured so conspicuously of late ir
Wall Btrcct) is having ' a run" wliollj
" on paper." It is reported that noton<
:>f these paper wheels has as yet giver
aut on this road. The wheels are manufactured
by the Allen Paper Car Whee
company, whose works are at Hudson
rhe producing capacity of these works ii
ibout fivi? hundred wheels per month
?nd the company are to start additiona
works at Chicago next tall, tlie capacity
of which will be about double thai
oi the Hudson works. Paper car wheels
were invented by a practical railroad
::ngineer, and were first put to actuaj
use in 1869, since which time many improvements
have been made. They arc
made of a combination of paper, st<<e
rind iron, the hub being made of castiron,
the central portion or body of the
wheel of compressed paper, and the tire
of cast-steel. In looking at the whee
one would not suppose that there waf
any paper about it, the paper not beinj
visible, as it is completely encpsed be
tween wrought iron plates stronely riv?ted
by numerous bolts, and this witt
the iron hub and steel tire leaves nr
paper surface exposed. Strawboard is
used for this purpose. A good qualitj
is necessary mid it must be thoroughly
dried; a very important consideration,
It may be of any thickness, the thickei
the better, provided it is thoroughlj
dried. The strawboard is notsubjectec
to any change in its character either bj
chemical 'v other process, though past<
is used to unite the layers and a powerful
pressure is applied. The wheel is
"built up" by placing one thickness o
sfiMiwVmorr) nwr nnntlipr und JLfter SfiV'
era! layers are put together applying
the pressure. This forms a section
Each section lias to be thoroughly dried
Then the sections are put together ami
pressed as -were the layers of strawboard.
The process is a Ions: one ow<
ing to the time required for drying th'
layers and sections, the building up ol
i wheel requiring several weeks. Tlie
pressure applied is something wonder
fill; for instance, a wheel forty inches
in diameter will be submitted to a pressure
of from eight hundred to one thou
sand tons. The result is a solid ol
ibout the consistency of a hard, finegrained
wood, the seams, hardly perccp
:ible, formed by tlic union of the secLions
resembling line wood grain. A
paper weight made of the car wheel paper
is on my desk before me ns I write
tnd it appears to be about as heavy a=
i piece of ebony of the same size would

ivheels before shipping from the mill,

\bout a ton ol strawboard is used at the
Hudson works daily. The utility ol
xiper wheels seems to have been pretty
horou^hly proved. It is not claimed
or them that the price is as low as that

iveragc it is more tl an twice as high.

50,000 to 800,000 miles with the first

oads as the elevated where the brakes

taper is used instead of strawboard.

Among the many associationb organized
in New York lor the benefit of tne
poor is one that has for its object the ba
promotion of the domestic industrial tb
arts among the laboring classes by giv- 8l>
ing to the children gratuitous instruc- ?]
tion in all that pertains to the house- M
wife's duties. This is the New York
Kitchen Garden association, which,
although i t w as started on ly four months ai
ago, has a large membership, and is d,
actively interested in the welfare of
twelve " kitchen garden1'classes, num- ?
bering more than 600 pupils. One of d:
the classes recently formed is composed
of thirty little girls belonging to the
Five Points House of Industry. They
range in age from five to twelve years, |}]
are for the most part naturally bright, ti(
and some ol them are very pretty. One
afternoon recently they gave an exhibition
in the chapel of the Five Points 0i
House of Industry, which was a com- dc
plete illustration of the methods of the tb
"Kitchen Garden" system, so successI
fill 1 v intrnHnrnrl hv Miss EmilV Hunt nr
ington in 1876. "
in the center of the chapel floor was * '
a collection of articles known teclini- 3
cally to the kitchen gardeners as "occupation
materials." Miniature bedsteads,
chairs, tables, bureaus, washtubs,
bedspreads, tablecloths, pots, n
kettles, napkins, forks, mattresses, ?
knives, dishes, plates, pillows, clothes ?
lines, brooms, salt cellars, dusting
brushes, clothespins, and other things j
recognized as essentials in the domestic p
economy were piled up on a convenient tl
stand. Twelve little girls occupied it
seats at a long table, at the head of p
which the teacher stood to direct operations.
The many industrial arts of the v
housewife were taken up in order, and a
the details of the work not only illus-1 ?<
trated by the young amateurs, but ex- fl
plained by them as well. n
One of the most interesting features g
of the exhibition was the lesson in
washing. At the sound of a bell the \
children rose, marched around the a
table to the lively music of the piano, 11
and received each her materials, with e
which the table was soon covered. f
Then the class wa3 questioned as to the
use of tubs, boards, soap, water, and
blueing, and as to how and in what
order eacti class of wash material
should be handled. Next, accom- oj
panying their work with a song, F
the children unpacked their tubs, c<
placed their boards, sorted their ?'
clothes, and, with invisible soa). -nd j
imperceptible water, performed Jie i
usual wash-day duties. Two short poles f
were planted at each end of the table, t
and between these a line was deftly i
stretched to the music of the orchestra, e
Then the wash was hung out to dry, ?
each piece being snugly at ached to the !
line with tiny dothes-pins, many of the }
little laundresses holding the pins be- j
tween their teeth till required for use.
This mode of disposing of clothes-pins, jalthough
natural to full-grown washer- n
women, is not taught in the kitchen gar- F
den manual; yet it does not seem to be tl
interdicted. The unwet wash having
become thoroughly dry, time was called,
' the lines were stripped, the materials
i packed, and the labors of wash day
. were done. ^
Next, one member of the class showed p
' how a cood girl woum receive uie
; housewife's visitors. Another demon- j
strated with materials for "occupation n
No. 3," how a sleeping room should be p
prepared for occupancy. Another
taught how the morning work of clean- 1
i inp and bed making should be done, the 1
: other members of the class giving their '
views in rhyme to brisk music. {

How She Recovered Her Property.
A recent letter from Wyoming Territory
says: Cummins City is still a crude
metropolis. Society has not yet arrived
\t the white vest and lawn sociable
seriod there. There is nothing to hamper
any one or throw a tiresome restraint
iroundhim. You walk up and down
the street without feeling that the vigilant
eye of the policeman is upon you,
Md when you register at tue leading
tiotel the proprietor don't ask how much
baggage you have, or insist upon it that
your valise ought to b3 blown up with
a quill to give it a robust appearance.
Speaking of this hotel, however, brings
to my mind a little incident which
really belongs in here. There are two
ladies at this place, the only ones in the
fity limits, if my memory serves me.
One of these ladies owns a lot of poles or
house logs'which were at the time of
which I speak on the dump, as it were,
ready to be used in the construction of a
new cabin. It seems that some of the
male citizens of the corporation had
been appropriating these logs from time
to time, until out of a good fair assortment,
there remained only a dejected
little pile of culls The owner had
watched with great annoyance the
gradual disappearance of her property
from day to day, and it made her lose
faith in the final redemption of all mankind.
She became cynical and misanthropical,
lost her interest in the future
and became low spirited and unhappy.
One day, however, after this thing had
Eroceeded about far enough she went to
er trunk, and taking out a large size of
navy revolver, the kind that sends so
many W estern men to their long home,
she went out to where a group of men
had scattered themselves out around
camp to smoke. She wasn't a large
woman at all, but these men respected
her. Though they were only rough
miners there in the wilderness they
recognized that she was a woman,
and they recognized it almost at
a glance, too. There she was
alone among a wild group of men in the
mountains, far from the protecting arm
of the law and softening influences oJ
metropolitan life, and yet the common
feeling of gallantry implanted in the
masculine breast was there. She indicated
with a motion of her revolver thai
she desired to called the meeting to order.
There seemed to be a general anxiety
on the part of every man present t<
come to order just as soon as circum
stances would permit. Then she mad(
a short speech relative to the matter o!
house-logs, and suggested that unless t
certain number of those articles, no^
invisible to the naked eye, were placec
at a certain point or a certain amouni
of kopecks placed on file with the chair
man of the meeting within a specifiec
time that the deuce would be rai3ed or
Main street in about two and one-hal
ticks of the chronometer. There didn'1
seem to be any desire on the part of th<
meeting to amend the motion or lay ii
on the table. Although it was arbitrarj
aliU impel ?lbl V C, anu anuuu^u au Vjjpwi
tunity was given for a free expressioi
of opinion, there didn't seem to be an]
desire to take advantage of it. A com
mittee of three was appointed to carr]
out the suggestions of the chair, and ii
about half an hour, the house-logs ant
kopecks having been placed on deposi
at the places designated, the meetinj
broke up, subject to the call of tin
chairman. It was not a very long ses
sion, but it was very harmonious- ver
harmonious and very orderly. Then
was no calling for the previous questioi
or rising to a point of order. The pale
