WASHINGTON REPUBLICANS.

ic that at a former meeting the republi-
ans had indorsed a precinct ticket before
he county convention had made a ticket

o make them eligible as members of the

hat the republicans of this precinct had
dopted a resolution favoring free and un-
»mi ted coinage of silver, which was a dem-
cratic measure. Hon. U. J. Moore, who

WANT TO MEET AT DALLAS.
Brenham, Tex., Aug. S.-A chunge in the
call by Chairman McCar of the Ninth con-
gressional district for the time of holding
the republican convention for the district
from the 20th to the 25th 'instant does not
suit the deU-gates from Washington and
other counties in the district because the

for the state convention, viz.. August 2S,

sional convention are also delegates to the
state c,onv<ntion and to attend both so
close together will be too- great a burden.

congressional delegates will be present,
and thus save expenses to the delegates.

CAUCUSING IS IN ORDER.
Col, Hodges Makes a Speech Defining His
Position—Dark Horse Talk—4921
Ballots Without a Change.
Texarkaua, Tex., Aus. 8.—After adjourn-
meat la-st night the politicians of this dis-
trict gathered at headquarters and dis-
cussed the situation.
Colonel Bob Hey wood of Bowie informed
Jake Hodgets that the Shcppard men, or
some of the Sheppard men, had acted in
bad faith with him and had never in-
tended to nominate him.
llardy C'Neill of Cass county, a Shop-'
paid delegate, emphatically contradicted
this statement, and for a few minutes ex-
citement ran high. O'Neill said he would
give $100 to any man who would produce
a Slieppard delegate who did not make an
honest effort to land Hodges.
Gius Shaw offered to bet $1000 or $.">00 that
if the Red River delegates would vote
solid for Hodges he would be the nominee.
Finally the participants of the discussion
cooled down and a row was averted. Cau-
cusing continued until long after midnight.
This morning early it was announced
that Hodges would throw a bombshell in-
to the convention during the morning ses-
sion and the Cranford men began to
brighten up and many of them whispered
around that "the end was in sight and
John was all right."
At 8.30 the convention assembled and 'bal-
loting was resumed, with Cranford 23,
Sheppard 16 and Hodges 14.
At 10 o'clock the Lamar delegation called
for a caucus and retired. The Lamar del-
egates returned and Colonel llodges
marched dowrn the aisle with them. Lamar
voted for Hodges and that gentleman as-
cended the platform.
"He is going to withdraw in favor of
Cranford," isaid an enthusiastic Cranford
man to hi-s neighbor, and then the Hop-
kins county delegates cheered wildly.
Colonel Hodges made a lengthy speech,
claiming that he was the choice of a ma-
jority of the people of the district and the
choice of nearly two-thirds of the dele-
gates in the convention. Colonel Hodges
altso said that several Red 'River delegates
had their expenses paid here "by him and
voted for Cranford. The Lamar delegates
cheered their leader, but no cheers came
from the Cranford contingent.
Hardy O'Neill asked: "Colonel Hodges,
has there been a bargain between the
Sheppard and Hodges forces?"
"No, gentlemen, there has not been a
■bargain, and the change from Sheppard to
Hoiigert was not brought about by any
pledges or agreement," replied Hodges.
After a IVw ballots the convention took
a r< cess until t p. m.
After adjournment the delegates 'began
to talk of a dark horse. Hodges had
-stated his iMXsitlon plainly. Cranford anil
Sheppard must name a man for congress
and Lamar .stood ready to ratify their
choice.
At noon the 8heppard steering committee
held a cadcus. When it broke J. M. Vintz
said: "We have decided to stay by She-p-
pard and against (Vanford until hell
freezes over and we have to skate on the
ice."
Balloting was resumed at 2 o'clock, and
at 3 o'clock, after ivcordlng 4981 "ballots,
juiother recess was taken till 8 p. m.
The Cranford men announced a caucus
at 4.30. The Sheppard men at 5 p. m.
Several of the &heppard men were anxious
to adjourn for thirty daye. The Cranford
men denounced Hodges' speech in private
in bitter terms. They say he has ruined
himself politically for all time to come.
The Sheppard men were close mouthed.
They are the politicians of the conven-
tion and put in the time sawing wood.
A -large number of delegates and visitors
returned to their homes to-day to prepare
for the state convention. A majority of
those who remained 'behind served notice
on their leaders that it was high time the
deadlock was broken either 'by adjournment
or a nomination.
At 5.30 The News reporter called at
Hodges' headquarters anil soon ascertained
that next to Hodges the people of Lamar
county wanted D. B. Culberson.
At 5.40 the Cra.nfords called for a confer-
ence. Judge Sheppard selected W. T.
Armistead of Marion county and H. A.
O'Neill of Ca.ss county. Hodges was rep-
resented by N. P. Jackson and Ben Den-
ton, The Cranford men were represented
by James Clark of Red River and Howard
W. Templeton of Hopkins. These gentle-
men held a brief session and then dis-
persed. Clark and Templeton, it was an-
nounced, would agre* to nothing but the
nomination of one of the three now before
the convention, which deadlocked the con-
ference.
At the night seMon good feeling was
rustored. On the 4921st ballot the conven-
tion adjourned till 1) o'clock to-morrow. No
change.
o
FEEDING HORSES SYSTEMATICALLY.
St. Louis Republic.
Horses are kept and fed for service, and
not like swine, sheep or cattle, for fat and
flesh. The Arab feeds a few dates, a hand-
ful or two of barley, and even if he wooild
he could not feed 20 or 30 pounds of hay for
24 ihours, because the desert does not pro-
duce it, nor ids nomadic life permit him to
carry much from place to place. And yet
his horses aiv the standard for symmetry,
beauty and endurance. Take a look at our
race horses; thoroughbreds and Ideals: in-
telligent, fleet as the wind and fufl of
staying qualities; and the ordinary man,
for lack of horse sense, would call them
scarecrows and rackabones; such a man
would not give $100 for a half dozen of
them and yet some of such horses would
sell for tens of thousands of dollars. How
could such horses run races carrying their
hides full of hay? No? The hay given them
is the best and they receive only a tithe
of what a dray horse will consume.
All things being even, a draught horse
of most weight can pull or draw the most.
But a saddle 'horse of a carriage horse
ought not to be given all the hay he will
eat. it would naturally make hfm lazy, un-
willing to move fast and unsplrited. Some
horses will cat everything they can reach,
while others, being trained that way, will
eat much less and perform their task with
more spirit and with more ease to them-
selves.
Again, horses being greedy of all the feed
they can hold, will also naturally require
more water. Now. no horse which is called
on for speedy service should ever receive
more than eipht quarts of water at a time,
and if traveling some dlstunce one gallon
would be better than two. A horse which
is a greedy eater should 'have his hay
weighed to him, his oats measured, and
his waiter gauged for him. It is said that
much eating on the part of a man is
habit formed by indulgence, and men who
favor such habit are slow both of bruin
and body. A physician who would eat a
large and hearty breakfast could not be
trusted with difficult eases or with the per-
formance of skillful surgical operations.
One of the most successful physicians in
New York would have only an egg, a roll,
a cup of coffee and a glass of wine, and
nothing more until 3 p. m., when he would
rest awhile, and take a comparatively
hearty dinner. He kept up his practice for
years, had good health and accumulated a
half million dollars, and he used or had
need of the services of three horses daily.
The men who make brilliant after-dinner
speeches do not allow themselves to In-
dulge in a large diet.
Horses which run or trot heats are never
fat It would be fatal to them. Pity that
It needs bo written also that pugilists arc
"trained down" for their brutnl connbats,
sometimes nearly 30 pounds, so that, while
before training a man whose natural
weight wtnuld be 200 pounds, Is reduced to
170 pounds; and so are race horses blank-
eted and sweated down by ruipld ex ere lee
until they look like scarecrows for their
supreme efforts. Now, we do not advocate
this kind of treatment for ordinary work
lioi-ses, but we are convinced that most
horses on farms and In stables where feed
Is handy and abundant, receive too much,
especially of rough feed and coarse grain,
it does them no good! and until they
empty themselves often it is a burden and
a hindrance to the performance of ordinary
labor.
TIDE OMAHA STIRIUvE.
Serious Situation for the Packers—MUrtia-l
Law Contemplated-The Crisis.
Omaha, Neb.. Aug. 8.—The crisis arrived
to-nig'ht, and, if there is no improvement
by morning, several companies of militia
will be sent to South Omaha and the
packing houses will be placed under martial
Jaw. The situation is more serious to-
night, and 1000 strikers have been doing
about as they pleased. This evening they
forced their picket line that has for forty-
eight hours ,i>ast surrounded the paeking
plants under the waMs of t'he big buil'Hngs
and their number was increased by the ad-
lition of several hundred men.
At 8.50 p. m. Mayor Johnson of S*uth
Omaha went before the Omaha jpoLice board
and asked that a detachment of police be
sent there as he was powerless to controJ
the lawless men. The board was informed
that the governor was in consultation with
the packers with a view o»f putting the
packing hoii'ses under martial law.
The packing house members held a con-
ference and at its conclusion Mr. Ctilahy
notified the adjutant general that unless
the workmen could be given adequate pro-
tection all packing houses would 'be com-
pelled to close to-morrow.
In the evening the governor and adjutant
general met the packers to canvass the
matter. The packers declared that the sit-
uation was most critical, and the governor
linally concluded to do nothing until morn-
ing and then if there was no improvement
to call out troops.
Mayor Johnson predicts that unless the
militia is brought into action at once that
the regular army will have to be brought
into action to prevent bloodshed on a large
scale.
Sheriff Drexel thinks the police and dep-
uty sheriffs can preserve the peace unless
something unforeseen oiccuirs, and he does
not favor the idea of calling out the militia
at once.

Decatur, Tex., Aug. 8.—The second day's
session of the Thirteenth district democrat-

convened at 9 this morning and adjourned
to 11 o'clock, and on reassembling at that
hour adjourned to 4.HO p. m., at. which
time it was given out that the credentials
committee was ready to report, there being
a majority and minority report.
S. P. Hard wick of Taylor presented the
former, signed by himself, Duncan G.
Smith, E. S. Hurt, A. H. Palmer and R.
C. Andrews. This report llxed the basis
of representation as previously given in
The News, fixing the total vote of the con-
vention at 119. The counties were disposed
of as follows: The Cockrcll delegates from
Andrews, Garza, Hutchinson, Lynn, Ochil-
tree, Motley, Terry and Yoakum were rec-
ommended to be seated, as were the anti-
Cockrell men from Childress, Sherman and
Palmer. The vote of Kent and Garza is di-
vided. This report also recommends that
the regular delegate or delegates cast the
vote in lieu of proxies when present; it
lixed the basis of representation at one
vote for 300 or fraction over 150 cast for
Cleveland electors ln 189:2, no »county in the
district to cast less than one vote. Hard-
wick moved its adoption; seconded.
XV. Q. Connellee of Eastland stated that
there w'ould be two minority reports pre-
sented, one of which was signed by him.
1Ie moved its substitution for the majority
report. It fixed the basis of representation
as follows: One vote from each county in
the district; one additional vote for every
100 and fraction over fifty votes cast at the
last general election for Cleveland electors
and fixing the total vote of the convention
at 319 instead of 119, as recommended by
the majority. 'Connellee and others con-
tended for the adoption of his minority re-
port, stating it was but Just to the larger
counties in the district that the representa-
tion basis therein embodied be adopted. On
motion of Hardwick, Oonnellee's report was
talbled by a vote of 71*4 to 42%. ['Cheers
from the iCodkrell men.]
R. E. Oarswell of the miinority commit-
tee presented the following:
To the Hon. W. J. Swain, Chairman: We,
a minority o your committee on credentials
and basis of representation, 'beg leave to
•make the following report and recommend
that the same be adopted as an amendment
to the report submitted by the majority:
1. We represent that trie great bulk of
counties in the western part of th§ district
are represented here iby proxies. In a
great many of said counties there
appears to be no chairman or
regular organization and in quite a num-
ber two different conventions have been
held and at different times, and delegates
accredited to the convention, and in the
great majority of 'suich counties we have
no evidence that any convention was held
except the presentation of credentials pur-
porting to have been signed by a chairman
and secretary of a democratic convention,
the great majority of which were prepared
at Abilene, Tex., by the supporters of
Judge Cockrell with blanks left for names
and dat'esv, the form of which seems to be
exceedingly uniform, and Kred Cockrell Is
with great uniformity selected as its proxy
to cast the vote of said counties. He ap-
nears to be so invested with authority to
represent twenty-seven different counties.
In some of said credentials the name of the
proxy was left blank and the names of
numerous citizens of Wise county are filled
In as proxies. Lynn county, entitled by
courtesy to one vote, is so represented by
forty-eight citizens of Wise county, friends
of Judge Cockrell. tn the great majority
of said counties the population is quite
small, ranging from four to a hundred
people, and In several of said counties the
uurnorted conventions were held by from
four to six persons. In these counties
where it appears that two conventions
were held It seems that any person
twlho Jearjd to could and did ;gather two
•or more par-scnis airound him and Ihold a
comvi niitlow. In view of tlhwe facta and t'he
giriut {importance o»f a fu'l'i and ifalr rep.iv-
t»3ntatl'on On this convention of all the
democrats In this district we recommend
that no delegation be seated in tihil# con-
vention unie-ss it ai;>peairl# that a bona fld'e
convention wa* 'he'Ai 'in the county from
wihJ'dh 'it i-s credited and a delegation regu-

LITERATURE FOR FAJIMERS.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Congress has appropriated many millions
of dollans of the public money in the publi
cation of books and documents, many of
which are very valuable to the farmer,
Subjects relating to agriculture, disease
and treatment of domcstio animals, fruits,
grains, etc., have been discussed by some
of our ablest experts In many of these
books, which should have been In the
hands of the farmers as «oon after publl
cation as possible. Now publications on
such subjects, of great and Important in-
terest to the farmer, are Issued annually,
but the farmers do not receive them. There
was ,i time, years ago, when members of
congress retained some remembrance of
their farmer constituents, but now how
rarely the eongres«man remembers his
farmer friends long enough to distribute
among them the books allotted for such
purpose 1
What becomes of these publications? Of
course a congressman would not care to
ktftp a large number <if duplicates. Two
years of service us congressman entitles
him to a cord or more of books, sorm- of
them elegantly bound, beautifully Ulius-
trated and published only by the govern-
ment H Is true, as asserted on apparent
Koori authority, that while a few are dis-
tributed the many alloted to members
reach, In a very direct manner, the shelves
of the book dealers, who sell them.
Some months ago the writer saw a notice
in a newspaper that the government had
published two illustrated works upon sub-
jects in which he was deeply interested, as
a farmer, and he made several efforts,
through congressmen, to obtain a copy or
each, which resulted only In vague and
uncertain promises. Much desiring to ob-
tain the books, he wrote to a certain book-
seller. reputed as a purchaser of surplus
distributions, tor them, and within a few
days received and paid for the coveted
oopitts, which were inclosed in the original
wra^ppers and bore the frank of a member
\A oongress.
(Fanners can not well ascertain what
books are published by the government
for public distribution In which they are
Interested, and if by chance they happen
to learn of it, they find it next to Impos-
sible to obtain a copy. Soime means should
be devised for a proper distribution of
such publications among the people carry-
ing on a business to which they relate.
The surplus copies of government publi-
cations remaining after the usual distribu-
tion among the favored are depo-slted in
the cellars, vaults and attics of government
buildings, where cords upon cords have
been rotting for half a century. This ac-
cumulation is constantly increasing, until
now there are hundreds of cords impris-
oned in these immense cellars, underground
rooms and attics, food for vermin and of
no present or future use to any human
being until some power be invoked strong
enough to force the government jailers to
throw open the sealed doors of these
prisons and scatter among the people the
treasures of knowledge and the gems of
the artist's pencil and of the engraver's
skill coniinea therein.

Mlneola, Tex., Aug. 8.—What promises to
be one of the most interesting and exciting
congressional conventions of the year was
called to order in the opera house to-day
at noon by Judge A. P.. Watklns of Hen-
derson, who congratulated the democracy
in his opening address upon the harmony
that prevails in democratic ranks and upon
the hopeful outlook for the party. "We
are well assured of the fact," he said,
"that the nominee of this convention will
lead the flag to victory. Upon all Im-
portant questions we will be a unit and
when we leave this hall we will not only
have nominated a good man but will have
a platform upon which he will be psoud
to stand." [Apptouse.]
For 'temporary chairman Mr. Perkins of
Hunt placed in nomination Jeff Cox of
Rockwall, a Kilgore man, and Judge Belard
of Smith seconded the motion and moved
that ilr. Cox be elected by acclamation.
The motion prevailed as did a motion elect-
ing R. L. Robertson of Smith temporary
secretary. Ernest Hruce was elected assist-
ant temporary secretary.
Leon Hart of Gregg had a telegram read
announcing that Oates had been elected
governor of Alabama by 25,000 majority,
and that the legislature Was also demo-
cratic. This created a considerable wave
of enthusiasm. Neither Mr. Hart nor the
secretary, however, announced beforehand
that Colonel Oates was the Cleveland can-
didate nominated by the Alabama demo-
crats.
Van Zandt county moved that congratu-
lations be extended to Alabama. Adopted.
Junius Oate was elected sergeant at
arms.
Mr. Perkins of Hunt moved that three
committees 'be appointed—one on platform
and resolutions, another on permanent or-
ganization and the third on credentials,
basis of representation and order of busi-
ness. each committee to be composed of one
delegate from each county to be selected
by the delegations from the varloius coun-
ties. The motion prevailed.
It required fifteen minutes for Hender-
son county to agree on its committee on
account of two factions, McCord and Kil-
gore. which evenly divided the delegation.
They did not succeed in agreeing as to
who should be on the credentials commit-
tee. but requested that each faction be
allowed to send a. representative before the
committee and have the matter settled.
Horace Oate had a telegram read an-
nouncing the nomination of Miles Crowley
for congress by the Halletteville conven-
tion. There was some applause and one
man shouted "Whoo-wee." [Laughter.]
Mr. Sherrill of Hunt in a loud voice: "Mr.
Chairman, I move that this convention send
a resolution of congratulation to the Tenth
district. No! Miles might whip me if we
did that."
The convention took a recess until 1.30.
The convention agafn at that time met and
a delegate read a dispatch from The Dallas
News stating 'that Oates' majority tin Ala-
bama was from 35,000 to 40,1100. He moved
that the Dallas News report be substituted
for Mr. Hart's telogram. Adopted.
The convention took a reoess un'tll 3 p.
