town, captured them, after a brief struggle, brought the prisoners back to town, and lodged them in the calaboose. A crowd gathered and attacked the building. One of

the robbers opened fire, whereupon the crowd riddled him with bullets. The remain

THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE

The Great Party Machinery In Active Motion All Over the Land.

State Conventions in Iowa, Michigan, Hew York, Ohio, and Other States.

STATE CONTENTIONS. Iowa Demooratle, Every county but one (Pocahontas) waa represented in the Iowa Democratic Convention, at Burlington. It was the largest convention ever held by the party in the State. Hon. Bonj. J. Hall, of Burlington, was selected to wield the gavel, and his mention of Samuel J. Tilden's namo was cheered till the building shook. The following were chosen delegates-at-large to the national convention at Chicago : L. 0. Kinne, of Iowa Conntyj H. H. Trimble, of Lee: E. H. Thayer, ot Clinton: and D. M. Harris, of Harrison. Alternates-at-largo: John Duncombe, of Webster County: Chas. Toclkcr, of Dubuque; H. C. Bowman, of Plymouth; W. H. Butler, of Fayette. The delegates are unanimous for Tildcn, bnt have no instructions. The Committee on Resolutions reported the following, which wero adopted: Hcsolved, That tho Democracy of Iowa, recognizing the duty wo owe to the Union soldiers of our late war, favor the passage ot the bill now pending before Congress to grant to them a warrant of 180 acres of land to be taken from the pnblio domain. Sesohed, That we reaffirm the principles of the Democratic party as expressed in the platforms of the national convention ot 1876 and 1880. Resolved, That in view of the late prohibitory legislation in the State wc hereby emphasize the utterances of the platform ot the National Democratic Convention of 187t; that we are in favor ot the liberty of individual concinot unvoted by sumptuary laws. Jiesolved, That the Democracy of Iowa reaffirm the resolution of our last State convention in favor of a tariff for revenue a gradual and persistent reduct ion of tariff duties. Jiesolved, That in Samuel J. Tilden and his official record wo recofmizo a man and platform combined, and one who represents more than any other Democrat the principles of the Democracy, and whose name is a guaranty ot viotory. The allusion to Tilden was the occasion of intense enthusiasm and repeated cheers. A more emphalio resolution on tho prohibition question was offered as a minority reporo, but was finally disposed of by referring it to the next State Convention. Col. Eeatley offered appropriate resolutions upon the recent death of Oen. A. C. Dodge, the pioneer statesman ot Iowa, which were passed with a rising vote. The district conventions met and elected the following delegates and alternates to the national convention : First District Delegates: Georso R. Smith, Tan Buren County; John Walbank, Henry County. Alternates: George Jamison. Loulea County, and E. A. Howard, Jefferson County. Second Delegates: W. F. Erannan, Muscatine; h. B. Wadleigh, Clinton. Alternates; H. O. Locart, Jones County: Dr. X. B.

Oblo Republican. Hon. William McKinley was mads Chairman of the Ohio Bepublican Convention, at Cleveland. The various Congressional districts reported the names of their delegates to the Chicago convention, and their committeemen. Twenty-six of the delegates are pronounced Blaine men, fourteen are for Sherman, and two are without known preferences. There was a hot light between the friends of Blaine and John Sherman over the delcgates-at-large, the Sherman cohorts coming off victorious, by securing three of the four delegates. Tho delegstes-at-laree are Marcus A . Hanna of Cleveland, Judge West of Bellefontaine, Hon. William McKinloy of Canton, and Judge J. B. Foraker of Cincinnati. Four colored men were chosen as alternates. J. S. Robinson, ot Hardin county, was nominated for Secrot .ry of State ; Chief Justice W. W. Johnson was renominated for Justice of the Supreme Court; 0. A. Flickinser, ot Defiance, was nominated for member of the Board ot Public Works. Tho following resolutions were adopted: The Bepublican party approves the policy ot protection in all economic legislation, and it favors its application without discrimination to American industries, thereby securing employment at remunerative wages to American labor. That it is in favor of collecting an adequate revenue to defray the proper imd economical expenses of the Government from duties upon foreign imports and proper internal taxation, and that it condemns the Democratic doctrine of tariff for revenue only as destructive to the business interests of the country, and that the doctrine of tho Democratic party favoring petting what Is improperly called raw material, such as pig iron, wool, etc., on the free list is dangerous, and if carried out will be destructive of the best interests of the nation. That tho reduction of duties on importod wools made by the act of 1883 has seriously injured the prosperity of an important agricultural pursuit in which more than a million of 'our citizens are engaged, and, unless this legislation be amended, the business of wool growing will be paralyzed if it be not transferred to foreign nations ; therefore we demand restoration of the wool tariff of 1876, which gave the firt-t and only substantial protection ever offered to the sheep husbandry in the United States. That the Republican party having aided labor, liberating it when oppressed, giving to it homesteads in the vublfc domain, and supporting schools at public expense for Its children of all classes, recognizes now more iully than ever the great interests ot American labor, its claim upon the enre of the Government, and its rights to equal consideration with capital. That the Republican party stands bv its legation known as the Scott law, and condemns the want of sincerity of the Democratic party in respect thereto. The position of the Republican party touching civil service, as repeatedly expressed through its conventions and exemplified by its legislation faithfully administered, Is heartily indorsed. The party is in favor of maintalniugequal civil rights to all classes of citizens under the guaranties of the law and Constitution in all parts ot the United Slates, and it also demands that the elective franchise shall be respected to the end that every voter shall have a free ballot, which shall be honestly counted. That we heartily apiwovo and indorse the administration of President Arthur, both in his foreign and domestic policy. Michigan Bepublican. The Michigan Republican State Convention was held at Grand Rapids. Congressman Boswell G. Horr acting as temporary Chairman. M. 0. Burch. of Grand Rapids, was made permanent Chairman, while S. T. Bennett, ot Bay Cit y, discharged the duties of Secretary. The roll call showed 610 delegates in attendance. There was avigortus fight on the nominations lor delcgates-at-large. Boswell G.

Atwood, of Saginaw, both colored, wore then placed in nomination by representatives of the two colored factions ot the State. A ballot was demanded, and the Detroit man carried tho day. The last fight was between Julius C. Burrows, of Kalamazoo, and Harry Comuit, of Monroe, Joseph Mooro, Ezra L. Koon. A. B. Turner, and George W. Ro!ey were elected alternates. It isnotoworlhy that Watson is then st colored man ever sent lrom Michigan as a delegate to s national convention. The political preferences of the delegation are between Blaine and Edmunds. No instructions were given. The Committee on resolutions reported tu0 following, whioh was adoi.tcd: 1.

They hm e conridencc t iat the wisdom and patriotism of the ChUy.RO convent ion will formulate a platform and nominate a candidate tint the people will approve, n-l lint will next November tall out from ihc State of Michigan its old-time Hcpiihlican majority. Jndg P. T. VanzTe, ot Charlotte, was elected Chu rman of tin Suite Central Committee by acclamation. New liork Kopnbllran. A combination of ths Arthur-Edmunds men organized the New York Kej ulilican Convention at Utica, Nathaniel ('. Boynt-m defeating Edmund L. Pitts, the Miiler-l'Mno-C'orncll candidate for Chairman. They also elected Theodore Roosevelt, Andrew D. Whi.e, John I. Gilbert, and Edwin I'ackur I deleatcs-at-largo to the Chicago convention, (w i o; whom. It ia paid, are for Arthur. .ludgs Andrw.4 and l;nicllo, of the State Court of Appeals, were lonomtnated. Senator Miller 1 re-cnted to the convention his plan for the liberalization of the Republican arty, and providing for direct representation by the pojplo in conventims. On motion of a colored delegate, it was doc dfd that the colored voters nh'tild havo a representative upon the elm total ticket. A resolution was also adopted that the next National Republican Convention honld be requested to provide that in future national conventions' repreaentativi s vhnnld bo proportionate to the numborof Republican votersand Congressional districts, rvsjMTtively. The resolutions indors.t the President's administration, oall for the rep -al of tlio silver noinago aot, demand protection of national industries, and condemn the Democratic 1 arty for Its proposed revision of tho tariff laws. When tho reference to Ptcstdcnt Arthur waa read there was loud and

loBg-eonHnned applause, and, in respaase te s oall for three cheers, they were given with s will and a tiger. Mississippi Bepublican. The Mississippi Republican Convention, at Jackson, selected tha following delegates-at-Urge to the Chicago convention; Branch K, Bruce (colored), James Hill, J. M. Bynum. and B, T. Beck, all for Arthur. Fourteen district delegates were chosen, thirteen of whom are for Arthur and one for Logan. Seven of the district delegates are negroes. Ex-Senator Bruce addressed the convention, and in a conservative speech advised against instructing the delegates to the Chicago convention. The resolutions urge the Importance ot the Mississippi aa a highway and the necessity of its improvement; express a belief in tho policy of protection as calculated to inorcase the manufacturing industries, and enhance the valne ot products, and las conducive to tho prosperity of the labor ing classes: Indorse Blair's educational bill; declare that, among the eminent Republicans named for President, the Mississippi Republicans havo no first choice, but willhoartilygupnortany one ot them that may be nominated; say that the delegates to Chicago should ylold their preference for the general good, and, after oaref ul inquiry, to cast their votes tor the candidate most acceptable to the people of the Republican States and the doubtful States necessary to the election; and indorse the administration ot President Arthur. Judge Green C. Chandler in the First DIstriot, and Capt. J. R. Smith in the Fifth district, deputy internal revenue collectors, were nominated for Congress in their respective districts. The other districts will make Congressional nominations later, Virginia Republican. The Republican State Convention ot Virginia, whioh met at Richmond, waa called to order by Senator Mahone, and Col. William Lamb waa made Chairman. Four delegatea-at-large Mahone being one and olghtccn district delegates were chosen. Four of them arc colored and eighteen white men. A motion that delegates to Chicago be instructed to cast their votes in the national convention tor Arthur was received with almost unanimous disapproval Eaoh district delegation reported in favor of Gen. Mahone

Las Chairman of the delegation to Chicago, and

tno delegates were instructed to vote as s unit on all questions in the convention. The platform, which was read by Gen. Mahone, declares that the coalitionists of the State shall hereafter be known as the Republican party of Virginia, and tbat in the nation's affairs they shall act with the national Republican party and support its nominees for President and Vice President. The platform also declares in favor of free education and liberal appropriations of the surplus Government revenue for educational put poses; demands a protective tariff in the interests of national industries; cordially Indorses President Arthur's policy, which is characterized as conspicuously conservative and entitled to the respect and confidence of the nation, and concludes with an emphatic preference for his nomination at Chicago. Maine Greenback, Col. 0. S. Emerson waa called to preside over the Maine State Greenback Convention, which assembled at Lewiston. Three hundred and twelvo delegates were in attendance. Ex-Gov. Flaisted left for home before the convention was called to order, having failed in bis efforts to bring about a fusion with the Democrats. Ex-Congressman Ladd, however, remained with the hope of being nominated for Governor, but in this he was worsted, the Rev. Dr. H. B. Eaton, of Camden, getting tho honor. A resolution was introduced early in the session, pronouncing against fusion with "cither of the old parties, open or secret." and after a lively debate was adopted. Tbo platform points to the Supreme Court's legal tender decision as an unanswerable indorsement of the principles ot the Greenback party, and indorses the national platform ot 1880. Resolutions were also passed advocating the Government control of railroad and telegraph lines; advocating an income tax; condemning tho employmeut of children in manufactories, and deprecating the Introduction ot the prohibitory amendment question into party politics. A full set of nominations was mads for Congress, for Presidential electors, and for national convention delegates, and all the delegates and cleotors were instructed to vote for Benjamin F. Butler. Dakota Bepublican. In the Dakota Republican Convention, at Huron, which waa presided over by W. C. Plummer, ot Fargo, a resolution was adopted with three cheers favoring Blaine for President and Lincoln for Vice President, and the delegates were instructed to vote for them as long as there was a probability of their being nominated. N. E. Nelson, of Pembina, and CoL J. L. Jolly, of Clay, were elected delegates to tbo Chicago convention. Byron E. Pav, of Brookings, and Robert E. Wallace, of Stutsman, being chosen as alternates. Resolutions were adopted by a rising vote indorsing Arthur's administration, instructing the delegates for Blaine, favoring the division of Dakota and the admission of the south half. There was a bitter fight between the delegates from the northern and southern sections of the State for tho organization and control ot the convention, resulting in a victory for the northern section by a bare majority of one. Connecticut Republican, Hon. Samuel Feasenden, who presided over the Republican Conrentlou at Hartford, expressed no personal preference as to the Presidential aspirants, bnt briefly named those most prominently mentioned. President Arthur received a round ot applause, and there was prolonged cheering when Gen. Hawley was mentioned. The del-egates-at-large John L. Houston, Samuel E, Morwin, Jr., Augustus Brandegee, and Frederiok Mills were Instructed for Senator Joseph R. Hawley. Eight district delegates were appointed, all of whom are tor Hawley. The resolutions eulogize President Arthur and his administration, and pledge the Republicans ot Connecticut to support tho nominee ot the Chicago convention. New Jersey Greenback. Tne National party of New Jersey, called for the purpose of elooting delcgates-at-large to the Indianapolis convention, convened at Trenton, and was presided over by E. E. Potter. Benjaman F. McCaliister, of Gloucester, R. W. Terllnde, ot Union, D. A. Hopkins, of Essex, and George H. Larison, ot Hunterdon, were chosen delegates. It was at first determined to get up a platform, but it was finally concluded to adopt the platform of the last national convention. It was adopted without being read. All the delegates are for Ben Butler for President, Tennessee Greenback. The State convention of the Tennessee Greenbackers, at Nashville, was largely attended. N. J. Buchanan, ot Fayettoville, was nominated for Governor on tho first ballot. The national platform of 1880 was re-affirmed, and delegates to the national convention at Indianapolis were chosen. They were uninstrneted, but are understood to be favorable to Gen. Butler as the Presidential standard-bearer. MISCELLANEOUS POLITICS.

Michigan Democrats. The Hon. 0. M. Barnes, Chairman of the Michigan Democratic State Committee, was interviewed at Chicago by a Tribune reporter, and is reported as saying that "Tilden being apparently out of the question, the delegation! from his State would come to Chicago with no pronounced preferences, but prepared to go for the most available man. In regard to fusion this year with the Grecnbackers, Mr. Barnes expressed himself unqualifiedly in favor of it. With such a union of forces there would be a fair prospect of capturing the electoral vote of Michigan. Wit hout it, Michigan was surely Republican. He thought that tho majority of both the Democratic and National parties were in favor of such a union. In such an event the electoral ticket would probably be divided, as was tho case in Maine in 1880. Ho believed the Fusionists would be able to hold the Congressional districts carried by them in 1882." The New York Republican Convention. New York Wortd: "The convention at Utica made Mr. Edmunds a prominent candidate for President. Ho may now be regarded as Mr. Arthur's heir. The fight henceforth is between Blaine and Edmunds. Not only were the President's friends compelled to submit to the election ot four Edmunds delegates: they had to bear the humiliation of voting tor four delegates who besides favoring Edmunds were pronounced first, last and all the time against Arthur Theodore Roosevelt, Andrew D. White, John J. (iilbert, and Edwin Packard, the antiArthur Republicans." New York Times .- "The Utioa convention has eettlo-1 nothing. It has not settled Mr. Blaine Mnoh less has It settled Mr. Arthur. But it has named as delegates-at-large to the Chicago convention four Republicans of Intelligence, independence, and representative character, who can be relied upon to speak at the great council ot the party in the name of the thousands ot independent" voters in this State, whose support cannot be had lor a candidate thrust upon the party by machine effort or for a candidate of unclean record,"

Blaine's Strength in the South. I Washington Telegram to Now York World. The World correspondent has heard from a high and authentic source that the Blaine managers have been conducting a secret canvass throughout the South. It is said they havo reoovered tho entire Arkansas delegation and a number of States in the Southwest. It is not intended to make any parade of these captures. Thedclegates are to profess to be for any one of the candidates mentioned. It Is liolleved. however, by the Blaine men that 150 of these Southern delegates can bo relied upon to vote for Blaine upon tho first ballot without any advance word ot information upon tho 6uhject. This, with what Blaine can command in the North, would insure his selection upon the first ballot. An Excltliic; Incident. New York telegram: "A resolution offered in the Seventeenth Assembly District Association recommending the nomination of Arthur for I reslilent, exoitcd John P. Frascr to insinuate that Gen. Arthur was in some degree anaworable for President Garfield's death. A dozon members left) ed to their feet and shouted that he was a liar and not lit to lie a member of tht. party. The resolution was thon adopted." Political Morsels. TnE Boston Traveller argues that Mr. Arthur has a claim upon tho Republican party because ho has not "Tvlerized." Senator Waknkb Mnxsn Is blamed for the defeat ot the Dliiino men In the New York Republican Stato Convention. The Charleston Xeiot and Courier thinks it recogub.es the kindly hand of President Arthur in the discontinuance of tho political prosecutions in South Carolina. NEW Yoke's independent Republicans have decided to send a committee Chioagq"to notify the Republican Convention that, under no clrounutances, can Blaine carry that State,"

A HUMAN HOLOCAUST.

Shocking Occurrence by the Burning

of a .Michigan County Almshouse.

Fourteen of the Pauper Inmates Caught in Their Beds and Entirely Consumed.

Hartford (Mich.) Telegram. The Van Baron County Poorhouse, situated two and one-half miles oast of this village, was burned to the ground this morning. Fourteen paupers wore burned to death, and many others narrowly escaped with t heir lives. The cause of the lire Ik unkn wn. It originated in the inmates' sittlim-room on the first floor, and when discovered was beyond control.' The connty farm lies midway between tho vUlages of Hartford and Lawrence, three miles from eaoh, and I eyond assistance from firemen, but when the flames were discovered the buildings were already so involve 1 that help would have been useless. The lmiitllngscomprised a large two-story frame upright, with a wing extending cr.st ana a two-storv addition projecting south from the rear of the main building. The Utter was occupied by Superintendent Cash, his family, and the hired help. One of the latter named Halsey was aroused by the cries of tbo inmates. Going down the hall he opened the door to the twostory addition, when ho was almost overpowered by a volume of flame and smoke that burst out. He had barely time to give tho alarm in the Superintendent's quarters. The paupers in the a idition were air 'arty past help. Tho oooupanta of the front building only escaped with their lives, nothing else being saved but two or three articles of furniture. The following are the names of those who perished: Jim rate Johnson, from Covert; Henry Bunlccs, trom Warerly; Benjamin Bogardua, from Brcodsvllle; Thomas Sawyer, colored, from the Kalamazoo asylum; Jonathan Sargent, from Antwerp; Fred Ekenuurger, from Decatur Myers, from Wavorly; Peter Golden, from Keelcr; Carolino Lang, from Covert; Caroline Paerer, from Covert; Sirs. Curtis, fromBreedsvillc: Mrs. Wilson and her 8-year-old daughter; Ann Maria and Debby Craret, ot Bangor. When morning camo the ruins presented s sickening eight. The victims of the conflagration, when taken from the ashes and half-consumed timbers of the building, were so burned as to be unrecognizable, horriblo masses of flesh and t one, impossible to Identity, being viewed by hundreds ot visitors. The addition contained sleeping accommodations for about twenty, and tho only ones who escaped were a boy named Parker, who jumped from the 8"cond window, and two little boys of Mrs. Wilson. Their mother and sister perished in the flames. Tho remainder of the inmates were in a detached building known aa "the jail." .They comprised the idiotic, violently insane, etc. Between that and th main structure there was another detached building, the distance scp.v ating the two being, perhaps, forty feet, which delayed tho progress of the flames till tho inmates of "the jail" could be saved. One of the occupants of the Superintendent's quarters was his daughter, just recovering from on attack of typhoid fever. She was saved. The inmates who were lost comprise the better class ot paupers, those In a comfortable condition and able to assist about the premises. Tho county authorities have made provisions in the neighborhood for tho temporary care of the remaining inmates. There were about sixty occupants ot the burned building?. Tbo loss to the county on building and contents Is about $10,000, on which there is S9.0M insurance. Mr. Cash the overseer, lost all his goods, to the value of about $300, on which there was no insurance. PLEUR0-PNEUM0NIA.
