Baltimore, May :m.—In the African M. E.

commending that bishops issue a proclamation
declaring the union of the African M. E.
church and the British M. E. church, of Can-
ada and the British provinces, was adopted by
a vote of 111(5 to 5. Bishop Payne entered his
protest. Salaries of bishops were fixed at
$2000 per annum and traveling expenses, aud
salaries of general officers at $1350 each and
traveling expenses. Wornout bishops are to
receive $1000 a year, and bishops' widows $25
per month while she continues a widow. At
night there was an educational meeting.

COUNTY DEMOCRACY.
I-IHMT.KIHX;* ok the col'.\ty conven-
tion last night.
DpIrxaU-a Elected In the Kurt Worth and
Houaton Conventions An Ahaence of Re-
aoliltlonii, lint a Uood Oeal or
Machinery In Operation.
The Democratic County convention met at
the district Court room last night. Iu conse-
quence of the District Court room being occu-
pied at the time by Judge Cook and some
lawyers, the convention met at the Criminal
District Court room. The delegales, mag-
nates, politicians and mugwumps of the party
assembled earlier than the hour set for the
meeting of the convention in front of the
court-house. All the smallfry were present,
and only a slender sprinkling of the elephants.
Labatt was the central figure. He flitted
about from delegate to delegate like a mnsquito
about dusk, diving his bill into everything,
and tendering his sage advice to all who
would hear him. Stubbs was also on hand,
He was not quite as busy as La-
batt, though he seemed to feel his al-
leged responsibility quite as fully. A
promising young statesman, named Meyer,
was also on hand and did considerable wire-
pulling before the formal proceedings began.
A practical-looking patriot named Jerdone
was also present and attempted to enlighten
his fellow-clansmen with ndvice and sugges
tion whenever ha could find listeners. In fact,
it can be stated with perfect assurance that
advice was cheap and advisers plenty.
When tbe crowd adjourned from the side-
walk to the court-room, the delegates assumed
jxwition within the inclosure usually reserved
for the lawyers, while the laymen contented
themselves with places In the ordinary specta-
tor reservation. The crowd, on tha whole, did
not look very bad; but it must be stated that
the spectators presented a better appearance
than the delegates. There were no prominent
Democrats present." The smallfry had the
thing to themselves, and they worked it for
all it was worth.
The following prominent Democrats were
conspicuous by their absence: General T. N.
Waul, Hon. W. P. Ballinger. Captain M. F.
Mott, Colonel S. W. Jones, Robert J. John,

culty, however, in naming a list of Democrats
Bresent who would have strengthened the
emocracy by being Republicans.
There was considerable fun in an informal
way during the proceedings of the convention.
Ex-Governor Lubbock being present, Labatt
conceived the idea of making himself promi-
nent by moving that the ex-governor be in-
vited to address the convention. He was
choked off, and a delegate named Robinson
fot in his work by moving that Governor
iubbock be invited to addross the body.
Delegate Robinson put the motion himself and
appointed a committee to escort the old public
functionary to the platform. The easy manner
in which Mr. Robinson snubbed the chair and
took the bit in his own teeth created much
amusement. Labatt, however, was angry be-
cause he didn't get a chance to introduce Lub-
bock and he immediately made a motion that
Hon. J. N. Stagner, of Lulir.g, be
invited to a seat on the floor. This
was done, and Labatt got his work in.
Both Lubbock aud Stagner made neat little
speeches, perfectly beautiful in fact, becauseof
their brevity. Next a motion was made to
call upon John C. Walker to address the con-
vention. Mr. Walker was also brief. Then
Major McLemore moved that General John
M. Claiborne be invited to address the con-
vention. This was also carried, and a delegate
moved that a committee of five be appointed
to escort him to the chair. The chairman, in
introducing Claiborne, referred to him several
times as " Major General Claiborne," and each
time pronounced the " major general" with
emphasis. Claiborne mado a vigorous three-
minute speech, in which he lauded Democracy
to the skies.
It was easy to see from the start that the
whole business was cut and dried. The caucus
held at Hook aud Ladder company No. 2 a few
nights ago evidently did ist work brown.
From the time the meeting was called to order
until the permanent chairman took his seat
tbero was not a hitch. Even tho different
committees were already fixed up, and every-
thing done seemed mechanical, as if Mr. Fris
b yliad been rehearsing for davs past.
the proceedings.
At ten minutes past S o'clock Chairman
Frisby called the convention to order.
Mr. J. A. Owens proposed that the delegates
be seated by wards, for the purpose of better
consultation with each other.
Mr. Frisby, in opening the convention, ad
vised harmony and unity of action. He said
the convention was called to select delegates to
the various conventions. He then appointed
Mr. T. K. Thompson as temporary secretary.
Mr. Pat Enimett was elected sergeant-aV
arms, and was directed to seat the delegates
by wards.
Mr. McCormack moved that a com-
mittee on credentials, permanent organ-
ization and basis of representation be
appointed. Carried, and the chair appoint-
ed A. S. Newsom, M. J. Tiernan, Pat
Emmett, Joe A. Owens, Pat Walsh, J. A. Mc-
Cormack, James Daly, R. T. Wheeler, T. A.
Gary, W. F. Niemann, John Lovejoy, John
Mealy, Henry Weyer and G. W. Butler.
A recess of teu minutes was taken to await
the report of the committee.
During the recess Mr. \V. M. Robinson went
to the stand, and after addressing the chair,
|jro forma, announced that ex-Governor Lub-
bock was in the room. He moved that the ex-
governor be invited to take a seat in the con-
vention. Without waiting for the chair to
present the motion Mr. Robinson performed
that work and also appointed a committee to
escort the gentleman to the platform. Mr.
Frisby ignored this portion of Mr. Robinson's
business aud appointed his own committee to
bring the old Democratic war-horse to the
front. Governor Lubbock, upon being intro-
duced, was applauded. He spoke several
minutes, urging that the principles of the
party be carried out irrespective of men.
Hon. J. N. Stagner, of Luling, was invited
to a seat on the floor. He returned his ac-
knowledgments in a brief speech.
Hon. John C. Walker was next invited to
address the convention. He did so, in a brief
speech, merely expressing his thanks for the
compliment.
Major McLemore moved that Hon. John C.
Claiborne be asked to take a seat in the con-
vention. Messrs. McLemore, Shepard and
Labatt were the introducers of the state chair-
man, who was introduced by Mr. Frisby as
"Major General Claiborne." In responding
to the call, General Claiborne spoke elo-
quently for several minutes.
Upon the conclusion of General Claiborne's
remarks, Mr. R. T. Wheeler, chairman of the
committee on credentials, etc., submitted a
report as follows:
To the Hon. J. H. Frisby, Chairman, and Mem-
bers of the County convention of Galveston Coun-
ty: Your committee on credentials, permanent

The number of delegates to be chosen under the
basis of representation adopted by the State execu-
tive committee, is one delegate for every 300 votes
and fraction over 1B0 cast for Governor Ireland.
As this county cast S318 votes at tho last election
for Governor Ireland, it Is entitled to eleven dele-
gates to (lie Fort Worth convention, and eleven
delegates to the Houston convention, and seven
alternates for each of said conventions.
We further recommend that tho basis of repre-
sentation of this county to the congressional and
legislative conventions be one delegate to every 100
votes cast for Governor Ireland, viz : 33 delegates.
That the same delegates be sent to the Tenth sena
torial. Sixty-fourth reptesentative aud Sixty-sixth
representative district conventions. We further
recommend that no proxies shall be allowed
except from a regular delegate to an alternate.
The report was adopted
Colonel Shepard was escorted to the chair and
stated very briefly that this was not a time for
talk but for work. Ho thanked the conven-
tion for its compliment aud declared the con-
vention ready for business.
Mr. J. A. Owens moved to elect eleven dele-
gates to the Fort Worth convention. Car-
ried.
It was then moved that the eleven receiving
the highest number of votes be declared the
delegates elected, aud the seveu receiving the
next highest be declared the alternates.
Nominations were then declared to bo in or-
der, and tlife following names were presented:
W. M. Jerdone, Pat Emmett, C. A\ . Preston,
J. B. Stubbs, John Lovejoy, C. C. Sweeney,
J. A. Robertson, A. S. Newsom, Seth Shepard,
H. J. Labatt, O. S. Eaton, II. K. Mann, Chas.
George P. Finlay, John Mealv, George W.
Butler, H. W. Rhodes, A. S. Newsom, Staf-
ford Smith, R. G. Street, W. K. Hall, James
Daly, S. B. Noble, Alex. Sampson and J. H.
Frisby.
Messrs. Smith, Sampson, Labbatt, Stubbs,
W. K. Hall, Butler, Noble and Sweeney with-
drew their names.
A recess of ten minutes was then taken to
allow delegates to prepare their ballots.
At the expiration of the recess the conven-
tion was called to order, and on motion of Mr.
Griffin two tellers were appointecl to count the
ballots. Messrs. Griffin and McCormack were
appointed as tellers. The result of the ballot,
which was taken by wards, was as follows.
The gentlemen named received the highest
number of votes cast, as stated:
W. M. Jerdone, 50; C. W. Preston, 48; A. S.
Newsom, 40; J. H. Frisby, 47; Otis Eaton, 45;
Seth Shepard, (12; C. Clark, 51; H. W.
Rhodes, 47; M Coffey, 49; James Daly, 40;
Pat Emmett, 41; John Mealy, 41.
Messrs. Mealy and Emmett having each re-
ceived forty-one votes, and this making a tie,
the question aross as to how to decide who
should go ns the delegate. After a half dozen
motions Mealy aud Emmett went off to one
side and tossed up a half-dollar to decide the
proposition. Mealy won and was duly de-
clared elected, while Emmett was declared to
be an alternate. Six other gentlemen were
named as alternates.
After this matter was settled, a motion was
made to elect eleven delegates to the Houston
convention. The following names and a dozen
others were placed in nomination: C. C.
Sweeney, Joe A. Owens, W. K.
Hall, Joe Atkins, Lawrence Clark,
Alexander fSampson, R. A. Bumey, Patrick
Walsh, Patrick Barry, George W. Buttes,
James Hunter, I* C. Fisher, R. T. Wheeler, J.
B. Stubbs, Stafford Smith, T. K. Thompson,
George Morrast, C. B. Gardner, Jo'm Pentony,
T. A. Gary, 11. Bullacber, Emanuel Perez.
[At this point of the proceedings, The News
reporters were compellod to cut their reports,
in order to accommodate the situation under
which the office is place 1 by the recent acci-
dent to its press. When the reporters left the
convention, the ballot was being taken on the
selection of delegates to the Houston conven-
tion. A strong feeling was expressed amoug
the delef-ates to adjourn until one evening
next week for the teansaction of the other
business of the convention.]
notes.
The young fellows seem to run the machine.
John Lovsjoy did a good deal of clever en-
gineering in a quiei way.
There were a couple" of bottles on tho sly
iloating around the room, which considerably
relieved the monotony of tbe proceedings.
Seth Shepard made a good presiding officer,
aud received a hearty dose of applause when
he took the chair.
The large vote received by Otis S. Eaton
was very flattering to that amiable and clever
young gentleman.
John Claiborne's speech was the event of the
evening. John should never prepare his
speeches. His spontaneous efforts are his best.
The rain considerably embarrassed those
who had not a "drop of the spark of life"
along.
Many of the delegates were Tom Ochiltree's
warmest supporters during the last congres-
sional campaign.
The anti-machine statesmen were no more
than flees on the hump of an elephant. It can
be taken for granted that the elephant repre-
sents the machiue.
Four-fifths of those placed in uomiuation for
delegates to the different conventions were
members of the convention that nominated
them.
Remark of a prominent delegate: "IJ a
clique that won't stand by each other."
Jeff Tiernan, a grave and dignified young
statesman, did considerable quiet work.
The tellers could beat any two men iu Texas
couuting slow.
There were only a couple of plug hats
present, aud only one white vest.
A .lust Verdict.
The best judges of music iu the land unhesi-
tatingly pronounce the celebrated piano known
as the Mathushek, the finest instrument man-
ufactured. It has undergone possibly a closer
scrutiny than any other piano claiming to be
a competitor, for the reason of its wonderful
popularity, its ingenious construction, aud its
great power and sweetness and purity of tone.
Judges who have carefully examined the
mechanism of these superb pianos assert they
will lust a lifetime, and keep in tune at one-
quarter the expense of any other piano.
Those who wish to purchase for their own us i,
or wish agent's territory, will address P. Wer-
lein, 135 Canal etreet, New Orleans.

FORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS.
Proceedings in Senate and House..
Houxe-
WASHINGTON, May 24.—Mr. Hatch (Mo.)
presented the conference report on the bill to
establish a bureau of animal industry. The
House conference recommended concurrence
in all the Senate amendments. The amount.
of the appropriation is $150,000, and the juris-
diction of the commissioner of agriculture is
limited to such investigation and such disin-
fection and quarantine measures as may be
necessary to prevent the spread of contagious
and infectious diseases from one State or
Territory into another, and is prohibited from
appiyiug auy money toward payiug for ani-
mals found necessary to be slaughtered in or-
der to prevent the spread of the disease. The
report was agreed to.
Under special order of the House this day
was assigned to measures called up by tho
committee on naval affairs.
The first bill called up was the senate bill
grauting permission to Lieutenant Reynolds,
of the Lnited States navy, to accept the dec-
oration of the royal and imperial order of
Francis Joseph, from the government of Autj
tria, for gallantry in saving the lives of eleven
Austrians.
Mr. Robinson, of New York, opposed the
bill, saying: The dudes of the navy are con-
tinually asking permission to receive decora-
tion J
Mr. Cox, of New York, said: Lieutenant
Reynolds saved the lives at the peril of his
own, aud, for doing it, had been insulted ly
this man (Robinson) here to-day.
In the course of further debate Mr. Robin-
son accused Mr. Cox of misrepresentation.
Mr. Cox replied that the gentleman was
rather too flush in his words. He didn't like
that from anybody and never had, and te
gave it back to him.
Mr. Kasson said the gentleman from New
York (Robinson) was persistent iu dishonoring
his own countryman by deuying to them the
praise accorded to them.
Mr. Robinson (excited)—I want the words
taken down that I am a dishonorable man,
who violates the constitution and dishonors
himself. I stand by the constitution. Let
him withdraw the words.
Mr. Kasson—I withdraw nothing. I say
the man who stigmatizes with the word
"dude" a gallant naval officer does dishonor
to the navy aud the officers of the navy. [Ap-
plause.] The bill was then passed without
division, Mr. Robinson being unable to mus-
ter a sufficient following to call for the yeas
and nays.
Tho next, a bill restoring Alfred Hopkins to
the rank of captain in the navy, gave rise to a,
iong deliate. Hopkins is the officer who left
I'ensacola without leave wheu the yellow fever
prevailed there, and was dismissed from the
service.
Mr. Lyman moved to strike out the enacting
clause, which was lost. The bill was then laid
aside with favorable consideration, and wheu
the committee rose the bill passed.
The next bill was considered in committee of
the whole. It provides that that part of the
naval act of 1882 which limits the number of
graduates of the naval academy to be retained
in service each year, shall not applv to those
classes which had completed the four years
course at the academy prior to the passage of
the act and those members of the class of '81
who have been honorably discharged
may return to the service and take their
places in the naval register in the same manner
"s if fie past act had not been passed. After
debate without action the committee rose and
the House adjourned.

Hewitt's TnrilT bui. ~
W ashindton, May 24.—The committee "on ■
ways and meaus to-day continued considera-
tion of that portion of Hewitt's tariff bill rel-
ative to the administration of the present law.
While having taken no vote on the question
considering that part of the bill proposing a
reduction of the tariff, the members of the
committee say positively that it will not be
discussed iu the committee.
Senate Committee on Public Lands.
Washington, May 24.—The senate com-
mittee on public lands to-day decided to re-
port bills forfeiting land grants opposite the
uncompleted portions of the Northern Pacific
main and branch lines and the Atlantic and
Pacific railroads. Senator Piumb, chairman
of the committee, says it is impossible to cal-
culate the number of acres involved,
as in both cases some of the land
was taken up before the charters were
granted, and in the case of the Atlantic and
Pacific road, it v as not constructed in the
direct line contemplated nominally. The
senator thinks the forfeiture of the Pacific will
amount to about 13,000,000 acres, and of the
Atlantic and Pacific to about 36,000,000.
Senator Slater, who is the author of the bill
providing for the forfeiture of
the land grant of the Northern
Pacific railroad, says the actual number of
acreg forfeited along that line will be about
7,000,000 acres, which is about 30,000,000 acres
less than is proposed by the House committee
on public lauds. Senator Slater's bill further
provides that the lien lands hereafter selected,
if occupied by bona fide settlers, shall be sold
at $1.25 per acre for 160 acres.

ment. This action is due to a misunder-
standing ou the part of the bidders as to,the

UlhlM* SpenkM.
[Special to The News.]
Plano, May 24.—Senator Jno. Johnson, of
this county, in pursuance of an appointment
here to-day, met quite a large crowd at the
Masonic hall. In his speech he began bv criti-
cising the legislative policy with reference to
the revoking of the penitentiary lease. He also
attacked the administration on the public free-
school question, referring long and lustily to
Ireland's speech before the negro convention
at Austin, in which he charged directly that
Ireland represeuted to said convention that
our State was the best on God's green earth
for the colored man, an charged that he vir-
tually invited the whole of Africa to our bor-
ders to be educated out of our magnifi-
cent school fund, accumulated and paid
by the poor white men of the State, who, he
sai .1, ware unable to avail themselves of.
getting the benefit thereof. He accused Gov-
ernor Ireland of being tender in the land
fraud board matter, fo( "i reason that he
(Ireland) was afraid then istigation would
develop something wrong the creek, that
is, that a full . estigation of
said frauds might implicate Ireland.
He criticistd the action and policy of
the board of education particularly, with
reference to the appointment of the four pu-
pils for Johnson's Senatorial district to the-
State Normal-school and denounced as arbi-
trary .and unjust the appointment of a Galves-
ton man to teach the Normal-school atjMcKm-
ney, instead of Loouey at McKinney.
K. R. Craig, of McICinney, replied to Mr.
Johnsou in a brief administration and ably
acquitted himself, and from the rounds of ap-
plause that followed him, it would seem that
the friends of the administration are in the
ascendency here.
Hon. Barnett C ibbs, of Dallas, at the close
of the Johnson and Craig talk, arose and an-
nounced his candidacy for lieutenant-governor,
and, iu a brief and eloquent naniier, gave an
account of his policy pursued in the last legis-
lature on the revoking of the penitentiary
lease, and the leasing of the school lands to
stockmen, aud concluding in an eloquent and
eulogistic tribute to Governor Ireland and his
predecessor, Roberts, aud the administration.
