POLITICAL , NOTES.
*
' Hon. M. U. GCUfKU , rryubllUiUl cuu
didate for congress iu Oregon , is can
vassing the state thoroughly. Ho has
served in the senate of the state two
terms.
Several prominent republicans of
Texas have issued a circular advocat
ing the nomination of ox-Governor
Edmund J. Davi , of their state , for
vice president on the Grant ticket , as
recommended by the republican state
convention.
Ofapopsiblo candidate for presi
dent the Albiuy Journal says : "Gen.
Chatnberlaiu , of Maine , is all oak.
Ho would be a good second with any
one , and a better first than some who
have held the offico.
The intensely democratic governor
of Kentucky has appointed his brother ,
the Hoc. James Blackburn , late state
senator , to the important position of
secretary of etate. The usual demo
cratic howl over "nepotism" can now
ie waited for.
V Senator-elect Mahono is credited
with demanding iu his recent speech
at Lexington , Vato know what right
"auch aliens and foreigners as Gordon
of Georgia ; Vance of North Carolina ,
and Vooihees , of Indiana"have to go
there to toich Virginians their duty.
The first state Run in the great cam
paign of 1880 will be fired in Oregon
on the fourth Tuesday iu Juno before -
fore either presidential nomination is
made. State officers and legislature
will bo chosen. The bittlo rages with
great fierceness. No cipher dispatches
from Gramercy as yet.
Supreme Court-Justice Stephen J.
Field is 63. As a California forty-
niner he became a lawyer , and his
first foe was nn ounce of gold. Ho
had his fights , became a politician ,
was made a judge , reformed the laws
and was a member of the Union
League and a war democrat. Lincoln
appointed him to the supreme court
in 1803. lie vas married in 1859 at
St. Louis , but ia childless. Heis _
large , with hair and beard that arc in
clined to curl.
, Advlcea from Indiana state that
there is R decided preference in re
publican circles for the nomination of
Congressman Orth for governor , as a
vindication of that gentleman from
the aspersions on his cluracter by
Springer's committee , and as repar
ation of the injury done him four
yesra ago in taking his name off the
republican state ticket.
Ex-Gov. Fcote , superintendent of
the United States mint at New Or
leans , who died at hii home near
Nashville on Wednesday , had been a
notable character. A native of Vir
ginia , be begin the practice of law in
Mississippi , was elected United States
Senator in 1847 , and in 1851 defeated
Jeffewon Davis for governor. Ho
was an ardent secessionist , but as a
member of the confederate congress

supporter of Mr. Hayes' administra
tion he was rewarded wiih the officia
appointment which ho held at the
time of hu death. He had nearly
completed his eightieth year.

DECORATIONS FOR THE CONVENTION.
B xicial Dispatch to The Ece.
CHICAGO , III. , May 23 , 4 p. m.
The work of preparing the Exposi
tion building for the republican na
tional convention is practically com
pleted , a few finishing touches and
decorations nlouo remaining to bo
added. Tlio lalter work was begun
this morning. Some of the bunting
and materials for beautifying the im-
nionse amphitheatre have already been
brought in ready to be put up. An
accurate estimate of the seating ca
pacity of the auditorium places
it at very nearly 9tOO. , The
delegates and alternates , who number
about 1500 , will all be accommodated
on the main floor , leaving 8,300 to
: cupy the gallery. The chairman
and secretaries will occupy n large cir
cular platform at the south end of the
building. A rAilin ? has alao been
p'aced so as to prevent anyone
approaching too close to the ofliccrs.
Three feet below the chairman's plat
form is another elevated platform de
signed for the use of reporters. Con
venient to this , and underneath the
gallery , are offices to be occupied by
the Western Union and American
Union telegraph companies. The
committee rooms are immediately ad
jacent to the seats occupied by the
delegates.
POWELL CLAYTON ,
of Arkansas , arrived at the Palmer
House to-day. Ho is a member of the
sub committee of the national republi
can committee. There are now in the
city Thomas B. Keogb , of South Car
olina , John U. New , of Indiana , and
Chauncey J. Filloy , of St. Louis ,
also of this sub-committee. Sen
ator. Cameron , will be here this
evening. Clayton couies Ironi a state
that is not expected to give a republi
can majority. His presidential pref
erences harmonize with other mem
bers of thosub-coinmitteo , who are all
strong for Grant. These gentlemen
hold a private conference all morning
at the Grant headquarters.
BAD BUSINESS.
Grant people around hotels were ex
cited to-day about the bolt of the
Grantilcs in the Louisiana convention.
It was privately admitted to be bad
business , as the delegation from the
Pelican state was counted upon for
the ex-president.

NEW ORLEANS , May 25 4 p. m.
It is now said hero that Sherman will
have eight of the Louisiana delegates.
Tbo Welcome Rain.
It has come , the long needed , hoped
[ or and prayed for rain. Late yes
terday afternoon the clouds , darken
ing as the evening came on , gathered
over the dusty city , but so often have
our citizens been deceived in these in
dications that little notice was taken
of them. About eight o'clock , how
ever , the rain began to descend to the
accompaniment of rolling thunder
and a brilliant electrical display. The
shower proved to be but a light ono ,
but before daybreak this morning the
floodgates of heaven were again open
ed , aud there is every indication that
wo are to bo blesaed with a sufficiency
of rain.
A Murderous Couple.
Spcciil Dumtch to The Bee.
NASHVILLE , May 26 , 1. a m. Adri
an Rynard and wife were lodged in
the penitentiary yesterday to serve a
term of five yeas for the murder of
an adopted child. The father and
mother were accompanied by their
two young female children.
Sunday's Cyclone.
The Nonpareil of yesterday gives
an account of the damage done at the
Bluffa by Sunday's storm. It is lucky
that two or three more buildings were
not blown dowj , or theie would not
have been anything left to speak of :
At the U. P. depot the worst work
was done. Four C. & N. W. box cars
standing on a sidetrack near the depot ,
were blown off the trucks and on their
side. Six or eight cars standing near
the stock yards were also blown from
the track , two of them loaded with
hay. About 150 feet of the platform
and shed at the U. P. freight office
were blown down and demolished.
Twenty fiva or thirty Western Union
te'egraph poles , between the C. , R. T.
and U. P. depots , were thrown to the
ground , and the wires tangled and
broken. This caused considerable in
terruption in Omaha and in this city ,
but one through wire west baing in
working order .yesterday. The poles
will bs up to-day , and work will prob-
abiy being going smoothlp.
The carpenter shop of John Fitz
gerald , near the U. P. depot , , was
blown down and completely demol-
iSaed. The house of W. W. Bennett
w a moved several inches' from the
foundation , but was not thrown over.
A number of outbuildings , chimneys ,
etc. , in tha vicinity of the depot wer
blown down , and altogether the frtorm
w < < 3 ono of the most severe and dama
ging cf the kind ever experienced it
this vicinity. 'Iho went feature oi
the whole thing was the almost tota
alseuco of rain. A flood would have
bron prefeired to nothing in the shape
of rain.
TEINITI CATHEDRAL ,
Laying of the Corner Stone
Last Evening.
Interesting and Imposing
Ceremonies.
The formal c't&eruonies attending
the laying of the corner stone of 4he
now cathedral of the Episcopal church
in this city , took place last evening.
Precisely at 7 o'clock a procession
was fotincd at the Christian church on
17th street between Dodge and Capitol
tel Avenuu. The procession moved in
the following order :
Ninth Infantry band , from Fort
Oan.h.i.
Compaircs G and H of Omaha.
* Bishops and clergy in official robes
Lay delegates to the annual council.
Laity and citizens.
The procession moved up Capitol
Avenue to 18th streetsouth en 18th to
the site to be occupied by the new ed
ifice.
ifice.Tho
The bishops and clergy took posi
tions on or near a stand erected at the
northeast corner of the excavation ,
while the band and military occupied
positions on the south side. A quar
tette of siogerfjrere 'also placed near
the stand. The church grounds as
well as the adjoining premises were
covered by a concourse of aevoral
hundred spectators.
Sections of the lower basement walla
had already been laid extending to
the south and west. A cavity six
inches deep , six inches wile and ten
inches long _ had been prop. rod , and
into this a closely sealed ca-kot of
copper was deposited. This recepta
cle contained copies of the bible , and
prayer book , jouinil of the 12th , and
last council of the diocese , proceedings
of the installation of the dean , copy
of church guardian , containing a
record of the diocese , catalogue of
Brownell Hall , copy of THE DAILY
BEG of yesterday morning , containing
announcement of the exercises , copy
of each of The Daily Hurald , Daily
. , . . _ _ .
Order having been rtstorcd , the fol-
owing programme was c < rried out :
ringing by the entire audience.
1. The Pioceislonal hymn
The Church's one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord.
which was accompanied by the Ninth
infantry band.
2. Appropriate reading by Dean
Millspaugh and responses by the au
dience ,
3. Recitation of the Apostles' creed ,
followed by a prayer by Bishop
Clarkson , of Nebraska.
4. The Corner Stone hymn , to air
of "Old Hundwd , " composed by Rev.
H. B. Burgesi , B. D. , of PlatU-
mouth ,
God of Hosts , Thou Mighty Lord ,
Who art in highest heaven adored ,
Feign would we here thine altar raise ,
Emblem of everlasting days.
In laving f.iith wo lay this Stone , ,
To honor Thee , O Lord , alone.
Be Thou our Comer Stone , and we
Thy HolyTemple ownedby Thee.
And here when prayers and praisa are
heard ,
Bless Lord , each mipplicant , with Thy
word.
Increase our hope and faith in Thee ,
Thy loving kindness may we Bee.
Bless Lord , each stranger at thy door ,
Enrich thy poor with heavenly store.
Let men of high and low degree
Dwell here in love and unity.
So through the ages all along ,
Praise , praise to God , shall be our Bong ,
Let taints on earth with choirs above ,
Here laud and praise the Lovsd of love.
5. The stone being placed in posi
tion , Bishop Clarkson striking it
three tiiiifs , said : "In the faith of
Jesus Christ , wo lay this Corner
Stone of Trinity Cathedral , Omaha ,
of the Diocese of Nebraska , in the
name of God the Father. God the
Son , and God the Holy Ghost.
Amen. "
The Bishops and clergy followed
by the people and military repaired in
procession to the old church , where
Bishop Wliipple , of Minnesota , deliv
ered an earnest , eloquent and acnolar-
ly address. The leading thought in
this able production waa a plea for
church unity end expressions of regret
over the lar e numbarof sects into
which the Christian church 5s divided.
.
One sentiment especially wotthy of
remembrance may bo summarized as
follows : "We cannot bring back the
gorgeous cathedrals of the middle
ages any more than we can bring back
the feudalism of that period. If we
could we should shut out this modern
busy , thinking , freedom-loving world
ii which we now live. We can now
r ar beside the cathedral the honor * oi
mercy , charity and love. We have
brought our ideas of casts within the
? L > lds of the church. It Is our pride
that the humblest laborer can kneel
beside the highest , and all humbly
say , 'Our Father. ' "
Besides nearly all the clergy ot the
Episcopal church of Nebraska , there
were in attendance from abroad Bish
ops Whipple , of Minnesota ; Garratt ,
.cf Texas ; Wail , of Kansas , and Spaul-
ding of Colorado. Alio Rev. Mr.
Durlin , of Wisconsin : Her. Dr. Bat-
tenon , of Philadelphia , and Rev. Dr.

Colorado Republicans.
DENVER , Col. , May 25. The re
publican stata convention mot hero
this morning. The couventon ws
called to order by ex-Governor Kouth ,
chairman of the state central commit
tee. Col. John Cleghoru , a Grant
man , was made temporary chairman.
Pending a motion to appoint a com
mittee on credentials , a delegate from
Cbaffeo county offered the following :
WHEREAS , A republican caucus was
ia session last night for the purpose
of determining the work in to-day's
convention , and whereas , wo , eighty-
one delegates to this committee re
presenting the republican counties ,
which cist In 1878 one thousand seven
hundred majority received by the re
publican candidates for the governor ,
were not only inv.tad to said caucus ,
but absolutely excluded therefrom on
application for admission simply be
cause not pronouncing a regular 'pass
word would never before required at a
republican caucus.
Therefore , \Yo protest against said
action which completely atilica the
voice of the ttrongeat republican coun
ties of the state and renders the pr. < 3-
once of their representatives a mock
ery and a farce. Wo protest against
it because it is contrary to the prac
tices of the republican party of Colorado
rado and the country , because it is
unfair and tyrannical and hence un-
republican in its spirit. Wo have
met in this convention as friends to
fight a common foe and not each other ,
hence wo deny the right of any sec
tion of the party to take any
secret action which treats us as a fee
and unworthy a share in the proceed
ings of the convention , though repre
senting as we believe the sentiment of
an actual major'ty of the republican
voters of the state.
The resolutions were not entertain
ed , and a motion to appoint a commit
tee on credentials was agreed to. The
committee , largely composed of Grant
delegates , was appointed and the con
vention then took a recefs until 2 p. m.
DENVER , Col. , May 25. Conven
tion reassembled at two o'clock. The
following delegates to Chicago were
chosed : Ex-GovernorKoutt , Lieuten
ant Governor L. Ilcad , Antes Steck ,
George T. Clark , J. A. Ellett , M. N.
Maguire ; Alternates E. L. Campbell ,
Kent Wolf , Loudurer , A. P. Cary ,
J. T. Blake and J. D. Hall. Ex-Gox-
ernor Eotitt was chosen chairman
of the Chicago delegation. Res
olutions were adopted request
ing de'egates to the Chicago
convontton to me all honorable means
to secure the elect'on of Gen. Grant
and declaring Can. Grant a fit and
competent person to conduct the af
fairs cf the nation ; else , that while the
republican party of Colorado express a
preference for the nomination of Gen.
Granttheyreco n'Z9 In Mr. Elaine one
of the purest patriots and most able
men that America has ever produced
and should he ba the nominee at Chicago
cage they pledge him Colorado by a
large majority.
The convention stood 16G Grant to
66 anti-Grant delegates , and was per
fectly harmonious , the anti-Grant
men making very liltle fight.
