people have selected the man they
want, Hon. Roscoe Conkling, of New
York, but it yet remains for Republi
can party tacticians to decide whether
or not he shall be chosen. as the stand
ard bearer in the approacliing cam
paign. Nominations were made in the
Cincinnati Convention on Thursday.
Kellogg of Connecticut placed in nom
ination Marshall Jewell for President.
Thompson of Indiana- presented the
name of Oliver P.. Morton. Gen.
102 at ' Harlan, of Kentucky, nominated
JBenj. H. Bristow, "Poland, of Ver
mont, Curtis of New York, and Dana,
of Massachusetts, addressed the Con
vention briefly in favor, of Bristow.
When Maine was called., "hats, voices,
j andhands went up for Blaine" as expect
ed. Ingersoll, of Illinois, (the sucker),
went for Dana on the Bristow remarks,
and mentioned Blaine again, when
"hats, handkerchiefs, yoices and
hands" again struck the key note of
wildest excitement. Finally, when
! New York was called, Woodford ad
j vanced to the platform and said that
' in obedience to the injunctions of the
New York State Convention he pre
sented the name of Boscoe Conkling
broad in culture, eloquent in de
bate, wise in council, fearless in lead
ership and true to the old Republican
party". He needs neither defense nor
eulogy. He is a positive quantity in
the body politic, etc. , and the Con
vention adjourned, without taking a
ballot..
The platform, adopjted at Cincin
nati, on the ICth is similar in essential
points to the platforms previously
adopted, since the war, with amend
ments. Declares the United States a
nation, not a league; the Republican
party as thedef ender. of popular gov
ernment; recommends a constitutional
amendment against any appropriation
for schools imxler sectarian control; sug
gests a moderate resolution to an in-
immigration on moral and political
grounds; favors a resxDectful considera
tion of woman's claims to participation
in the Government; reaffirms the duty
of suppressing polygamy; duty to the
soldier was recognized; it deprecates
sectional strife or anything reviving it.
It arraigns the Democratic party, etc.
as unworthy and incapable, etc.
When the question came up in
the Cincinnati Convention on Thurs
day, suggesting an inquiry into the
effect of Chinese immigration, Pierce,
of Massachusetts, moved to strike out
the resolution which he denounced
as a departure from every Repub
lican platform and of the principles of
the Declaration of Independence and
the law of Christian love, which makes
all men, Jew or. Gentile, equal. Sam.
B. Axtell, who happened to be in the
Convention from Mexico, opposed
Pierce, Jones of Nevada followed,
Dutcher, of New York sustained Ax
tell and Jones, but. Curtis, of New
York, who has so. much to say for
Blaine, urged that in the beginning
of the new century the Republicans
of America should not depart from the
principles of the Declaration of Inde
pendence. As his remarks inferred
that anti-Mongolian legislation would
involve this, he was received with
great applause. Bedford, of Colora
do, earnestly sustained the resolution
reported, and pointed out the failure
of the Chinese immigration to assimi
late to our own peorde in any way. A
delegate from Tennessee demanded the
previous question, which was-- sus
tained. The question was. taken by
States on Pierce's inotiou to strike- out,
and resulted, yeas, 215; nays, 532.
So the motion to strike out wa$. re
jected.. The resolution was then
adopted.
One advantage of the present low
rates of freight from Chicago and Mil
waukee to the east is the unusually
large mpvemeni of wheat and com,to
Atlantic cities, and Europe. For two
or three weeks there has been a good
demancl.. What exports from Balti
more, Boston awl Philadelphia have
been, large, from New York last week
the offieial lists of exports includes- no
less than. 1,310,125 bushels of wheat
and 443,749 bushels of corn. The re
ceipts and exports show increase,- of
50 per- gent, over last year.
It i very evident from the tone
of San Francisco dispatches that a
very, strong effort is made to suppress
the fapts with respect to small pox.
Two.dispitches on the same day are
widely at variance. One to the effect
that the only existing case terminated
in the death of the rjatient, whilst an
other dispatch says two more were just
reported, both white, and of a severe
type.
