Gov , Hubburd stated the object of the con
vention to bo national recognition of tha vest
commercial Interests of the northwest , the
greatest producing section of the continent.
* Ho eft id theiiorthwestcrn states had boon ueg-
lecled by congress and now they haa como to
gether to enforce its rights in ouch way as
they could not longer be Ignored , Oa this he
nfoiced hid argument by statis
tics , protested tint the convention
had , not been called with any bise
design against any ecctlon or to nntogoni/.a
any interests. Oa the contrary ho said it
would encourage every lection to develop
their waterway , but Insisted that the north
west should have the came consideration.
Ho prot csted against discrimination against
Ihe northwest In previous appropriations.
Although the northwest had boon the greatest
producer , It had received but a email
share ot the appropriations for rivers
and harbors. In conclusion the governor
p.ivo the delegates a cordial erecting to the
utato and introduced Major Rico , who , in a
few well chosen words , welcomed the guests
to the freedom of the city. Governor Hub-

A long discussion ensued on the breia of
representation , resulting in Governor Hub-
bard'd call being fixed upon as a basis.
The committee on organization reported for
pennant president William Wnrnor. of Mis
souri , and as tecretary Platt B. Walker , of
Minnesota.
These were accepted by the convention , and
William Broia , ' explaining that ho had given
out to the Associated press proof i of a speech ,
ho would deliver tha same , and did so. He
jpoko as follows :
Uontlomon of the Convention : Tbo great
numbers here assembled ; the wide tanga of
country from which you have come ) tha lead
ing position which many of you hold In tha
states of the Misilselppi valley In
politics and in all the relations
uf the social , financial and com
mercial affairs of the northwest ; the Intellec
tual and moral force manifest hire , givoakeur-
nnco that its influence will make itself felt In
the council halla of the nation and secure frcm
congress adequate appropriations to improve
tha waterways of the MlisUsippi yallny.
True , some ot in have ( jrown gray in the ser
vice of the cause for which we uro hero a sem-
bled , but in the meantime the states wo repre
sent have been growing vstly In wealth , pop
ulation , and power , and their reasonable do-
inanda con no longer bo ignored hy our repre
sentatives in Washington. We speak for
more than 10 000.00U of people whoso
products on their way to a m rket will
mainly peek the waterways for whoie improve
ment wo contend , and the lessened co t of
their transit by water will leave million ! of
money in thtir pockets , while they .will
cheapen the cott of tha bread and the animal
food on the table of every roan iu the seaboard
states from 10 to 20 per cent for every day in
the year. This eUtement has been proved
time and again , and it will be made plain to
the compreheutlon ol all men by the facts and
arguments that will appear in the proceedings
o ! thii convention.
The pretento that railways have entirely
superseded waterway transit Is In pait true ,
for , while long , narrow cinals with a limited
buiinoes have been filled up to give place to
railway ! , the larger and longer waterways
itill do most of tha carrying trade as agamtt
all railway competition , If not , how li it
that the freight ou wheat mounts up from 12
to 15 o-nti per buihel between Chicago and
Now York as BOOH as lake navigation ceaiea ,
wbile in itmmer it Is scarcely half the hUher
figure ? The propor.iouate clurge by rail for
the transit of a bushel of wheat between
Chicago and Buffalo would ba In the
winter from tix to eight centi ,
wiila by lake it ia generally only
two ceuta , and often lees than that ,
Tbo freight on a buihel of whoU between
St , Paul and Chicago i * from ten to twelve
cents , while Major Benvaurd lias shown thM
by the Mlulttlppl and the Henuepin canal il
would not exceed if x ceuti. Now see what an
amount of money it would leara In the pock
et ! of the people of the upp r Miisourl v ! lej
if each a reduction on the trtnnt of tbeli
wreali to maruet were realized , Official gov
ernment estimates of tin crop of wheat in tin
states ol the upper Mlgtlssipr.i valley for 183
wcro :
Wheat 188,34tCO ! (
Corn 8 > 7,574CO <
Total 1,023(923,00 (
Suppose only ono-half It to be shipped east
ward fur consumption there nd for export ,
and wo have 102,1)01,590 ) , butheli. If onlr one
cent per bushel wore saved to the paople by
water transit , the amount would bo $5,020,615 !
at five c ° nts per boshet the fabulous turn cl
$25,1-18,005 would ba loft in the pockets cl
the people every year. Spand but a qtmter
ol this cum for two or three years on Improv
ing the navigation of the upper Mlstlssippl
and the building olfthe Uennepin cana' , a
most important pait uf the river system , and
the most marvelous results would ever after
bo realized. For the want cf such Improve-
meut wheat ia forced up the Mississippi river
from Wlcoaa , and perhaps below , to seek the
shorter railway transit to Dulutb , and thence
tiy the great lakes on ita way to the seaboard ,
Whatever saving is thus effected is so much
the better for the people ,
It may be I eared that by opening n great
md adequate wnterway line to the Gulf of
Mexico and to the great Jakes the buslnois of
railways would bo sadly cilpplod and that
.heir Influence will ba potent to prevent kt.
This convention surely has no quarrel with
.ho railways. Its members will freely concede
.hat within the last forty yoara they have
transformed the commerce and the life of the
states , from narrow local communities Into
one vast national union ol social , intellectual ,
md religious progress such aa the world
ias never seen before While water
ways r litivo them from the car
riage of bulky , heavy , and less
profitable products , the money thus left
in the pockets of the people enabloa thorn to
? ivo the railway * a larger and better trade iu
lighter and moro expensive goods and larger
profits on their traveling over the country.
This railway managers of latger and more en
lightened viowe understand perfectly , and
.hoy would doubtless , if not handicapped by
, Uo more selfish and contracted ideas of their
directors , ba openly and earnestly with us in
til efforts to sccuro waterway transportation
'or ' the va t prtducta of the upper Mississippi
valley states. And hero It may bo ntkoJ ,
Dora the water transit of the lakes , the
Kt'io and the Wetland canals , and the
St. Lawrence ruin the trade of our four or
ivo ( rreat railway lines to the seaboard ? Are
they not gronirg rich and prosperous beyond
all the brightest hdpoj of their owners nnd
nojectori ? Have the sail-vesteU aud steam
ers on tbo Hudson r.vr . ruined the railway
jy Its side on the east ? Sjfar from that an
other on tha west bank has recently bean
opened ou to Lake Erie. There ought never
o bo any oppouition by the railways to the
mprovemeut of the great wateiwayeof the re-
lublic. It is sure in the end to bo both un-
) rnfitab1o and unwise for thorn to make any
objection to it ,
Another thing1 , The upper Mississippi states
laid into the national treasury ou Recount
of internal revenue in 1834 830 105,933. Illi
nois alone paid S23G2021G. Now , Invo not
tau 10,000 000 and moro of tno people repre
sented in this convention a right to demiud
of congresj at least 5-aye , 20 per cant of
vlmt they pay into the national treasury to
mprovc their great waterways and to con-
truct a short canal between them , costing
only § 7,000,003 , thus giving them the nnana
o make much larger contributions to the ro-
ourois of the government ? Only $300,100
was asked of the last oogresj to begin the
construction cf the Hennepln canal -only
. per cent cf our payments and the solfisu
> aifcimoty of other sections "of the union
lefeated it , and thereby the whole river and
larbor bill , to use a cant phrase , was sent
'where tlio woodbina twmoth. " Now let
his convention and the representatives and
onators of the great states hare represented
; ivo notice , distinct nnd emphatic , that until
.he . Improvement of our great waterways is
adopted as a constituent part of tha national
river system , with an sdtquate share tf the
appropriations , no river and harbor bill shall
ever become a law of the land. More than
39,009 peop.le east and west demand It , and
that demand mustbe heeded.
The Erie and WclUnd canal ? , with the
vater transit of tbe great lakes , now end at
Chicago , but with the Hennepln canal and
.ho . Mississippi it will be extended from COO to
! 00 miles to St Paul. Can any man doubt
.hat such a work would reserve to the people
; en times the interoit on its coat every year ?
Surely there should be no more delay than is
absolutely needed in its construction.
Some cf you may remember that Lord
Dufferin , while governor-general of Canada ,
made a speech at Winnipeg In which he
glorified tbo Dominion by showing that only
great country could support such rivers as
: he Frnzor , tha Saskatchewan , the Red. tbe
Mackenjio , and the magnificent St. Law
rence. True , roy Lord ; but wo beg respectFully -
Fully to suggest that we furnleh more than
tialf the water for the Red and the St. Law
rence rivers , and with our "Father of Waters"
and Its Missouri and cither branches , and the
rivers uf the seaboard , wo can give you large
odds in the number and leneth of our river
system and In Ihe extent and richness and the
vast resources of the country through which
they run , Wo envy cot the great extent of
the dominion , and are only eorry that the Ice
King bos hia romorsslosa Ktip on so largo a
portion of it.
And now , gentlemen , permit ran to say in
conclusion that the time lor. facts aud argu
ments on this subject ia past. They are con-
dual v a ai to the vast Importance ot tbo im
provement of tha waterways of the Mississippi
valley. It is In no tectlonal spirit that we
make this appeal , It ii for the whole nation
that we speak. Every town and bamlat iu
the outlro republic would be benefited were
our appeal in behalf of our watenvoys to be
granted , for the states for which wa
epaak furnish a very large percentage
of our exports to foreign nations ,
If America is to retain that vast trade our
waterways must bo improved , and thereby
the cost of tiansit of our ceroula from the
sourceof supply mutt ba greatly reduced ,
India , Rusila and ether countries are con
stantly competing with ui for this valuable
trade. Let coiigreaa complete them in do-
minded by this convention , ana the greatest
work and the most Important to the wealth ,
the prosperity , and the progress of the nation ,
for all time to comp , is accomplished ,
The convention then odj jurned until 9 a , m
to-raorjow.
"Warring Ijabur Organization ? .
PlTTHlJUlto , Bept , 3. There Is a division
among thn Monongahala coal company's

miners' union or Knights of Labor , The

for an advance t > three cents per bu.hol , and
the officials of the miners' union are opposing
it. If the men go out , the convention of the

Dan Manning's Iiovo for brand Army
Men ,
ALBANY , N. Y , , Sept. 2-SpJclal [ to Chicago
cage Tribune. ] Secretary Manning went to
STew York this morning. Since hi * departure
ha local democratic politicians who have thus
ar been entirely at sea concerning the pro
gramme fc r the state campaign have begun to
; allc a little about the governorship. Until it
wan definitely known whether the national
administration would have a candi
date they were afraid to take any posi
tion. Although no sign came directly or
ndlrectly dining the summer from the sscre-
tary of the treasury , whoso commands tnay
obey , the democratic worker * were confident !
, hat ttonamo of tha chosen standard-bearer
would l > 9 disclosed when Mr , Mannloc
arrived in Albany. lie has como and gone ,
and this morning the word was pissed around
hat the leaders at Wathlngton would beep
heir hands oil the contest in this state. They
inly desired a good democrat at the head of
ho ticket , it was said , and would take no steps
o advance or oppose the candidacy of any as-
lirant for the executive chair. Having ascar-
ainedttoviawsof Mr , Manning , loading dem
ocrats said that the vota of Albany county In
lie stftce convention would bo given on tha
Irtt ballot to the lion A , Bleecher Banks ,
After this compliment had been paid to the
mayor it was asserted that Allnuy would
wing into line for Gov. Hill. If this pre
diction , which comes from men thoroughly
listed on the workings of the democratic
nachine here , is verified , It would seem that
tlr Manning Is uot hostile 10 tha ambitious
schemes of the present executive , and his
nomination la constduied highly probable
An evening pipar nay * It Is reported tha

Lwc-thiids of the men , now in eorvico in these

been no lockout or discrimination on my part
or tha ether officers of tha company.
' I proposed to the chairman to day that I
would employ these men if they desired mete
to ai rapidly Imsino's and earnings would
justify , taking thara ia the following order :
lurat Men who have families and homes of
their own at points where they have been

it. " KTB
Tha conferenca continued for more than an

proposition , Mo srs. Powdorly nud Turner
returned to the Planters hou'o and held a con-

resulted in a rejection of the proposition of
Col. Talmadge. Another conference

ar.d u return to the agreement
of April 25 , under which the reduction

In three ways , the chairmau of the district
cimmittea to havathe choice of these ways :
First , a reduction of men employed ; second ,
the hours of work ; or third , an entire nuspm-
eion of everything except running repairs and
inspection.
What the result of this will bo no ono can
foretell , but cartaioly the diffianlty is not yet
