THE FOREIGN CROPS.

THE WKUEAT.

The wheat crop is also generally unfavorable, the production being equal only to a third of that of '78.

STILL MORE.

John Mackintosh, declared a defaulter on Stock Exchange, yesterday, has failed. His failure is due to the fact that for along period his clients had received large dillerences on the rise in Erie stock, but on re-action they failed to pay the principal.

REDOCTION-OF WAGES.

Balickow, Vaughan & Co.'s greet'iron and steel works, have reduced wrcges five to ten per cent.

THE FISHKIFY MUSS.

London, Sept. 2.—The Times reviewing the fisheries question says: The opinion expressed in the United States that the whole'question should be settled between the State Department and Foreign Office, without the North American colonies fcavinij any voice in 'the matter, betokens misapprehension of the polic}' of the Britich Empire wir.ch accords to itoolf the governing of colo-* nies freedom of action, which is limited only by imperial consideration. In-shore fisheries are 'the Inalienable heritage of Canada and New Foundland, and these countries must say whether, and on what terms participation in them should be granted to foreign countries. It is somewhat surprising that the United States which owc their existence as^a nation 4o the asser-': tion of the very principle that a colony, must have voice in any negotiations! which affect its interests, should not understand the same principle when exer-i ted on the behalf of Canada.

Tihe intrinsic value of the property destroyed on the occasion ot che Future Bay fracas is a mere trifle as icompared with $103,000, and as that aum is the American estimate of some two or three boats being prevented from waking a single catch of fish, looks as if the fishing privileges granted by the 4rtaty of Washington were of .greater value than the people of the United States here been hitherto willing to allow.

It is satisfactory to find that the government at Washington repudiates all intention of asking a reconsideration of the Hallifax award on the grounds of subsequent ill treatment of fishermen. Were the Fortune Bay claims the only surviving difficulty in connection with the fisheries question, it would serve to show by its insignificance the dimensions to which the formidable international matter had been reduced. Unfortunately, while the question will soon come up again, any further arrangement on the Halifax plan, unless preceded by a final and conclusive settlement of the headland dispute the rights of the American fishing vessels in British North American ports, would be unsatisfactory, seeing that the fisheries question is as old a6 the war of 1S12, and that it is happily the only grave question be tween the two countries. Surely it calls for diplomatic action to settle immediately and forever.

This statement of the Time# is thought to embody the official view of the question.

TRANSFER OF COMMAND. Ccnst&rtincple, Sept. 2.— The co.u

THE GRAIN TRADE.

London, Sept. 2.—The Mark Lane Express, in its review of the British grain trade, says: The damage done is irrepariablr. No subsequent weather can prevent the outcome of this wheat crop proving most disastrous, botfe in quality and quantity. Happily the weather for the last day or two has been well suited to harvest qperations many fields are still quite green, while in others, wheat through more forward, is a bad color. Root crope are choked with weeds, potatoes have gone from bad to worse in fact in no single instance can agricultural prospects the said to have improved during tiie last* fortnight. In consequence of foreign supplies, the bad weather -has little effect on the wheat trade. The utmost that can be said is that in occasional instances, needy buyers have submitted to ac advance of a shilling ,per quarter, and even that was obtained with difficulty. It is estimated that a similar agricultural disaster tien vears ago would have 'entailed an advance of ten shilling" per quarter. The supply for the moment foas completely distanced the demand, owing to the enormous outward movements from American Atlantic porte Trade, however, cannot be expected to remain in it« present inert condition for any length of time, acd.a marked advance may be expected when the attention of buyers, now engrossed* by the excess of foreign arrivals, is .given to the fact that, taking into consideration the diminished acreage sown aod the wretched result of the home crqp, the amount«f foreign wheat required to supplement our own deficiency is something like four million quarters more than is required in ordinary seasons.

MINN. REPUBLICANS.

Jno. S. Pillsbury Nominated for Governor.

Other Nominations, Platform* &c.

Two delegates applied for admission, one favorable to the renomination of Governor Pillsbury and the other in favor of Lieutenant Governor Wakefield, his most prominent competitor. After a discussion lasting all the afternoon, the Pillsbury delegate was admitted.

At 6 M. the convention took the first ballot for Governor. John S. Pillsbury, J. B. Wakefield, L. F. Hubbard, W. W. Billson and Gordon E. Cole were nominated. The ballot resulted: Pillsbury, 109 Wakefield, 49 all others, 57. The nomination of Pillsbury was declared unanimous, and the convention adjourned till 8 o'clock.

C. A. Gilman, of St. Cloud, was nominated for Lieutenant-Governor, after four ballots, receiving 121 votes out of 218. The contest was then transferred to the minor offices, and the sitting will be prolonged.

The resolutions agreed upon by the committee, this afternoon, were reported and adopted by the convention. They are as follows:

THE PLATFORM.

We adhere to the platform of principles adopted by the last convention of the Republican party of the United States at Cincinnati.

Theeminent success which has attended the resumption of specie payments, and the refunding of the public debt at a more favorable rate of interest than has ever before been attained by the Government, vindicates the enlightened financial policy which has steadily been adhered to by the Republican party. We cheerfully acknowledge the fidelity and ability with which the finances have been conducted by the present administration.

We especially commend the course of the President in firmly exercising his veto power to uphold the safeguards of the ballot box.

We desiie to cultivate the feelings of good neighborhood with our fellow citizens of the Southern states, and rely much upon conciliatory treatment and mutually friendly intercourse to produce those ood relations which in ail respects would prove beneficial. At the same time we demand that every constitutional means be exerted to maintain that liberty and security throughout the South which all citizens are entitled to under our government.

We adhere to the advanced position heretofore taken by the Republican par ty, in favor of civil service reform. A true reform of the civil service should, among other benefits, lead to a reduction in the number of offices, and promote economy. Any measure of civil service reform, in order to be effective, should be put into the form of law, and not be left subject to annulment by mere executive authority.

We demand retrenchment wherever practicable, and the strictest economy consistent with a wise administration in every department of National and State government.

Without abandoning the just policy 01 protection, we nevertheless believe the time has come when some reduction should be made in the tariff, especially in clothing, on books and such other ar tides as enter into industrial and household economy.

The Republican party sets face absolutely against anything that savours of monopoly, and against unjust discrimi nations and combinations by railroads or other corporations.

Whereas, The duty on wheat and flour exported from the United States is at the rate of |6 12 a barrel, and the restrictions both in the ports of Cuba and Mexico bear very heavily on the products of the Mississippi valley, we would, therefore, request our Senators and Representatives in Congress to use their best efforts to procure an amelioration of our commercial relations with Cuba ai.d Mexico.

Thanks were tendered to the Senators and Representatives of Minnesota for their successful efforts in obtaining an appropriation for inproving the navigation of the State, and it was also resolved that, We will generously co-operate with our fellow»citizens, without distinction of party, in securiug the shortest and cheapest route of transportation to the seaboard

DEMOCRATS.

Bntler's Party N. G.

Boston, September 3.—The Democratic State Central Committee decides that it cannot recognize the Butler party as Democratic, but that a convention be held soon to which all Democrats are cordially invited to send delegates. t?'

Albert Palmer has accepted the invitation to preside at the Butler convention at Worcester on the 18th.

SUGGESTION is a privilege all can make use of, and we woufd suggest to the myriads of sufferers from Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Indigestion, etc. to use Dr. Bull's Baltimore Pills, whose curative power over these diseases is gratefully appreciated jy thousands. Price only 25 cents.

SARATOGA.

The Republican Convention Being Held Their To-day,

"Konk" of Narragansett Pier Fame is Chosen Chairman.

As the Old War Horse Enters the Hall he is Loudly Applaudtd.

The Shot 6un Orator Makes a Speech.

Saratoga, Sept. 3.—A. B. Cornell, chairman of the state committee, called the conventiou to order. United States Senator Conkling, who, as he entered the hall, was loudly applauded, was unanimously chosen temporary chairman,. He 'said: We meet as representatives of an historic organization, in which many of us have grown old, but their hearts were young, warm and true, as in days long gone by. Reciprocating all your kindness, I like to receive it as an omen of concord and harmony in all conventional proceedings, to be crowned by popular success. I congratulate vou on an auspicious promise for the party and the Republic."

THREATENING DANGERS

now appear in public affairs. First the pretensions of state rights second, inflation third, disposition to trample on the liberties of part of the people. The Senator referred to the resumption of specie payment, and said our finances, if let alone, will be safer and better than they have been for many years. Abundant crops have been gathered, and this abundance will bring prosperity. The Senator proceeded to discuss

FINANCIAL ISSUES

at some length. His reference to the quiet man, meaning Grant, and his veto of an act intended to check and defeat resumption by repealing the law fixing its date, was greeted with vociterous applause, as was his claim for the Republican party—»that it had

EFFECTED RESUMPTION"

and made every paper dollar as good as gold. Following resumption had come renewed business prosperity and all that is wanted is to keep off the hands of scheming men, non-interference with business by legislation and all will be well. The Republican ascendancy means the maintenance and resumption of prosperity, and

REPUBLICAN ASCENDANCY

would be sure and easy if all the votes of the could be freely cast and fairly counted. But this, unfortunately, could not be, because in some parts of the country a vote was not free. Pretensions ot

STATES' RIGHTS

again, once more raises its head. It declares there shall be no tree elections there shall be no fair count.

MAJORITY IN TWO HOUSES

of Congress at its last session, took the government by the throat and then threatene I to strangle it to death, unless the President would sign bills which he knew to be unrighteous and unjust. Jurylaws which have stood for more than eighty years, were proitrated, and the jury prostituted this was in order to give license to unlawfulness on election day and every day. The army was manacled, not only on all days, but on that very day, when it shoald be most readv to act in support of 1

NATIONAL LIBERTY.

This w&8 all for the purpose of strangling elections in behalf of brutal candidates. Four Southern states are certainly Republican by a large majority, and two more are on the same side if their votes could be recorded, but there will be no contest in the -r

NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION in the South. There will be no election! there worth the name.

EVERY VOTE

will be registered fjr the Democratic candidate, whoever he may be. This done, only 47 more votes will be needed. New York has 37 of those votes, and that must be known and understood. Thus a great responsibility rests upon, her. She will •5-V^, DECIDE THE CONTEST of 1880. The action of New York this year will far toward deciding the question. The action of New York this year wili decide whether the tax paying people shall rule this country or not.

Referring to party differences in the past CONKLING CLAIMED that all of them had been settled and the party was a unit. No matter which waa right or wrong in the past, no A all Republicans stand together on every essential living issue. WE

KNOW

THAT DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS

now would mean sectional domination. Consequently with the ticket aud platform to be here made, 'the state could be lost only by inattention and neglect. New Yotk, imperial as she is, must this year go to the head of the Republican column. To this let us now and here

PLEDGE OURSELVES

and each other. VICE-PRESIDENT WHEELER was invited to a seat on the platfoimi but he had previously left the hall. Mention of the Vice President's name and that of George William Curtis made during the call of the roll of delegates, brought forth great cheers. After the appointment of the customary commit­

tee

recess was taken.
