pensible and ivfter a short time
lie was eleeietV with a whirl-
Wind of enthusiasm. Th.e ust)-
al^fiommittees on credentials,
basis of representation, arid
permanent organization were
appointed. The usual fight
with reference to the right of
unorganized counties voting
in the convention same
up before the committeo on cre-
dentials. It is reported that the
cltairmnn, A. W. Terrell, was
against it and justice for it but
justice lost it by a majority vote
of three, and so the unorgan-
ized counties. were excluded.
The committee on;;;orgahization
had a figh t over the; two-thirds
rulo but the ahti'-two-thirds
members were in a minority
and: the rule was adhered to by
tile committee and adopted by
the convention.
Dr. M. D. K. Taylor was olios-
on Dermanent chairman and the
temporary secretaries and ser-
geant-at-arms wre. retained
permanently.
Speeches were made to the
convention by Wellborn, Rea-
gan, Mnxey and Throckmorton,
but strange to say none of the
candidates for nomination were
inviced to make speeches to
those who were called upon to
support them for office.
O. M. Roberts Was nominated
by a large majority over Sayers
for Governor, on the first ballot.
The'} folio wing ticket was
nominated:

' . Judicial Convention.
.Mr. E. L. Shropshire, chair-
mari of this judicial di&trict,
has received reports from elev-
en county conventions, seven
of which oppose a convention
to nomtnate a candidate (for
District Judge, The majority
being against holding a con-
vention, we presume.Mr. Shrop
shire will not call orie. This is
right; Let the people call on
two or more men, known to be
pure and competent, to become
their candidate, and from this
number make their selection
Electioneering for judicial Office
is, we think, out of place.

; Messrs. Lee & Reynolds, of
Fort Supply, 1. T., are the proud
possessors of the first thorough-
bred Hereford calf born in the
Pan Han<He of Texas. Soirie
time ago they brought seven
car loads of thoroughbred stejek
to this city,, which th«y took to
their herds near TuscOsa, Texas.
This fine lot of cattle cost them
about $20,000. Two car loads
were, imported, from Canada,
audi the balance were purchased
in the States of Illinois and
Missouri.—City. Glibe.

From the Porttouil Adrtrtteer.
During the latter part of the
life cf Alfred Conkling, whose
son is the present Senator, fath-
er and son scarcely spoke to
each orher. The arrogant, dom-
ineering nature of the Senator
was, it was said,' shown to his
father, as it Was and is shown
to all men how. At a political
meeting Conkling pere wa in-
troduced as "Hon. Alfred Conk-
father of Hon. Rosco

ti, reports tho storm of the 12th
uid 13t!i very severe at that
place;, Tlje wind attained
its highest velocity at 3 a. m. of
the 13th, when the water rose
very rapidly over the: lower
portion of the town to the
depth of four or live feet, caus-
ing damage to property. AIL
the vessels in the harbor were
blown ashore. • : '
Meetlna of Knlshts Temolar.
Chicago, Aug. 10.—An im-
mense concourse of Templars
from all sections of the United
States arrived li6re to-day.
Every conceivable place which
can be used for lodging purpos-
es is bjeing engaged.
Already the. city is more
crowded than during the na-
tional republican convention^
The hotels which thought they
were putting their powers to
limit to accommodate a thous-
and, are trying to lodge and
feed donble that number. Sin-
gle cots will have, to do double
duty, and^quare yards of car-
pet are at a premium. ;
. On the north, west arid south
sides of the city commandaries
of KriigUts Templar continue to
arrive in such rapid succession
that it is impossible to keep
.track of them.
The streets are! almost impas
sable with spectators and Chi-
cago is at the feet of an. invad-
ing legion of Templars.
It is estimated that by inorn-
ing o ver , 200,000 s trarigers Will
be in the city. '
At Central Music Hall Mayor
Harrison in behalf of Chicago,
and Gov. Cullum on behalf of
the State welcomed the Knights.
Receptions were given to;
