Nominations and Bitter
Speeches A Triumph for
Conkling Adjourn
ment. ' '
Rochester, N. Y,, September 27.
The speeches were -very bitter. It is a
great triumph for Conkling.
The convention had greatly thinned
out this morning. John O Churchill, of
Oswego, was nominated Secretary of
State. .... . ; - -
The work , of the convention being
completed, Lyman Tremaine was call-
ed for and addressed the body in rela-.
tion, to the magnitude and importance
of the coming canyasa. The Democratic
party boastfully declares that ' having
now the control of a solid South, they
propose and expect, to capture ?jNew
York and a few other Northern States,
ana thus get control of the national
administration for another twenty-five
years. Let them get legislative control
of this State and the .Republican party
will have little hope or rescuing it from
their hands again h) ten years. Are
the loyal . men of this State ready to
hand the government to the possession
of the men who so lately sought to de
stroy it ?
'Ihe speaker proceeded at some
length to review the political condN
tion in the Southern States, and the
alleged outrages upon Republicans
there, and asked how loyal men liked
the idea of being subjected again to
tne dictation or a "solid couth'
Mr Wood, of Alleghany, interposing.
asked, "who made the solid South ?"
Mr Tremaine replied, "don't reyive is
suer that were laid at rest yesterday.
Let us turn to the future, and unite
your efforts to ward off the disasters
that threaten the country through a
revival of disloyal Democratic rule by
the aid of the solid South. New York
is the key to the situation ; hold this
fort and all is safe; hold th e fort and
all the plans of the enemy will fall to
tne ground."
Me proceeded to argue that the Re
publicans could have carried the State
at the last election. In the presence
of great disadvantages we saved the
Legislature this year. Stimulated by
the fact that we have a New York Sen
ator at stake, we can do better still.
He did not sympathize with, but ear
nestly scouted the idea that because of
yesterday's debate we would lose the
State. When he was in the Demos
cratic party he always found that when
there was electricity in the air, bring
ing a storm, they were strongest, and
so it would be here and now. He
closed with an appeal for unanimity
and earnest work.
Then at five minutes past eleven the
convention adjourned.
FKOITI WASHINGTON.
1 lie Rochester Convention- -The
Conference with the Sioux.
Washington, September 27. Great
interest attaches to the Rochester con
vention. All the New York papers
have elaborate editorials on the sub
ject. The firebrand was that part of
Hayes policy divorcing the civil
from the political service. Bis South
ern policy was highly lauded by the
Curtis faction, and not denounced by
the Conkling party.
Key does not believe the statement
that a Confederate flag was displayed
during the reception at Atlanta, where
Key says the enthusiasm was greater
than anywhere else.
The War Department building is not
fire proof, but the commission found
every precaution taken against such
calamity as befel the Interior Depart
ment.
The grand council with the In
dians was held in the east room. There
were twenty-five savages. They were
painted and wore feathers. Speeches
were in the usual style. Big Roads
said: 'Great father,' (alluding to Hayes)
"1 have had some promise Irom the
President and have been looking for it
ever since." Little Wound said: "We
want religion and a Catholic priest."
The Dog said : "I am a Northern In
dian, but 1 am a wise man in that coun
try. I want my people to be raised
right, to be quiet, and we want to know
which is the widest road tor us, and
which is the best way for us to live.
You get rich, rich, and that is what I
want to do. It is the way you do.
The conference was adjourned till to
morrow.
Mrs Hayes made the acquaintance
of the savages. The Star says she re
ceived them graciously and they bow
ed with the politeness of dancing mas
ters, when shaking hands.
MARYLAND DEMOCRATS.
Meeting of the State Convention
They Congratulate Them
selves that the President
Adheres to Democratic
Principles.
Baltimoke, September 27. The De
mocratic State Convention met to-day,
Pinckney White, president. Thos W
Keating, of Queen Anne county, was
nominated Comptroller. The third
resolution wes , as follows : "It is a
cause of congratulation o the country,
at large; and especially of pride and
satisfaction to J the Democratic-party,
that its. peaceful policy of home rule
and non-intervention in the civil af
fairs of the States, has become a cardi
nal rule of action, even in an adminis
tration whose title to office - is not de
rived from an election : according to
constitutional methods, but exists by
the adjudication of a tribunal unknown
to the constitution, but whose award
has been acquiesced in by. peace-loving
people." ' .

London, September 27. A - Rus
sian official dispatch, issued at Gorny
Studih, says : "On the ; 22hd inst.,

ed their way through our cavalry post
ed to intercept them , and ; entered
Plevna. Furtber details are wanting.
All is quiet around Rustchuk and in

Vienna, September 27. In the Aus
trian Richstadt to-day, replying to the
interpellations of Prince Adolf Anes
perg, the president of the council de
clared that the government maintain
ed its policy of perfect neutrality. ; Re
garding the contingency of Servia's
participation in the war, he said the
government could not declare its poli
cy in anticipation of the event.
Burning of a Chromo Factory,
Boston, September 27. L Prang &
Co., a large chromo establishment in
the .highland district, is on fire and
will probably be destroyed. The build
ing is filled with valuable plates, chro
mos, &c. The loss will probably ex
ceed $50,000.
Latee The stock of goods on hand
at Prang's chromo establishmentwas
very large and valuable. This included
chromos, lithographs,- engravings and
other goods, also a large stock f val
uable plates and a considerable amount
of improved machinery used in the
preparation of chromos. The loss on
the building, wbich is considerably
damaged, is $10,000. The establish
ment was working full time. to fill large
orders for the fall trade. The loss occa
sioned by delay is no inconsiderable
item. The total loss is now thought
to be $100,000.
Boston, September 27. The insurx
ance on Prang's stock amounts to
$115,251, which is divided among thir
ty companies, and covers the loss.
Gen Grant on the American
Tar I ft and Other Matters.
London, September 27. Gen Grant
replying to various addresses which he
received at Sheffield, to-day, referred
to the American tariff and reminded
his hearers that the United States has
to raise money to pay off the great
debt incurred by the war. The reve
nue from imports was regarded solely
as a means of attaining that end. If
the United States were to abolish the
revenue from imports, the foreign
bondholders would very soon cry out
when their interest was not forthcom
ing. He added : " We get along well
enough wilh the payment of our debt
and will compete with you in your
manufactures in the markets of the
world. The more of your merchants
and mechanics go to America the bet
ter; nothing pleases us more than the
immigration of the industry and in
telligence of this country. We have
room for all and will try to treat you
asyou have treated me to-day."
Failures.
New York, September 27. Rufus
Hatch sent a communication to the
President of the Stock Exchange yes
terday, stating that he was unable to
settle differences against him on ac
count of the stock bought in for hi3 ac
count under the rule on Tuesday within
twenty-feur hours, which the rules of
the exchange allows. He hoped, how
ever, to be able to settle the account
soon.
Bonnett, Schenck & Earle, cigar
manufacturers, have failed; liabilities
$135,000
London, September 27. Ihe limes

of Batavia, have failed, owing to un
successful operations in sugar. The
losses, which are understood to be
large, will fall chiefly in America.

Jacksonville, September 27. No
death in the past twenty-four hours at
Fernandina. Five new cases are re
ported, among the number, J C Gross
man, collector of customs, and one of

FRENCH AFFAIRS.
London, September 27. A special
dispatch from Paris to the Standard
says : "The manner in which the so
called Socialists' manifesto .attacking
the government and the Gambettists,
issued yesterday,,, was made pub
lie, is calculated to inspire doubts
f its authenticity, and suggests the
possibility of a hoax. It is published
by tne moniteur univers and Defense,
They don't say how it came into their
hands, but merely assert that if was
determined upon at a private meeting
held early in August, and adopted at a
subsequent meeting." -

A Tery Good Reason.
The reason why only one sample bottle
of Merrell's Hepatine for the Liver will hn
sold to the same person, for ten cents, by
our druggists, in Charlotte, is because of the
enormous expense of importing the Hepa
tine into this country, but as there are fifty
doses in the large siza bottles, it seems two
cents a dose is cheap enough for a medi
cine that cures dyspepsia and liver com
plaint. All who have not had a sample
bottle are entitled to one for ten cents at all
druggists. Three doses relieves any case of
dyspepsia, constipation, indigestion or liver
complaint, inthe world Regular s:z8 bot
