The reunion of the men who were delegates
to the first republican national convention .
the one whIch met In Phiadelphia June 17 ,
1S56 , ought to attract the attention of the
whole country , I It takes place. I Is pro-
posed to hold It In the same cty on the same
day of the month In 1S96 , just forty years
after the frt ' &onvention . There was a ccr-
taln propriety , according to the St. Luis
Globe-Democrat , In the eelecton of Jlne 17 ,
the anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hi ,
for the ( men who calel the convention saw
that though the party might fail to win In
this canvass , its victory , its Saratoga and
Yorktown would come'soon afterward. They
were justified In that hope by the success
which the party had In the congressional
election of 1854. which occurred only a few
months after the legislation-tue Nebraska
bill of May 30. which broke the Misouri
covenant and threw the territories north of
latitude 36 degrees and 30 minutes open to
slavery-which had called the republican
puty Into existence.
I was a notably strong body of men which
gathered In Phiadelphia on that historic dar
of June , 1856. to frame a national orlanlza-
ton for the republican party. All the free
states.anl Delaware , Maryland and Kentucky
of thc slave states , were mepresenteth Maine
sent James G. Blame ; Massachusetts
Charles Francis Adams anti E. n. Hoar :

John M. Palmer and Owen I.ovejo , and \\'is-
consin John F. Peter and Timothy 0. Howe.
These were among the men then or subsequently -
quenty well known 10 the country who took
part In that convention.
Of course tbe result of the convention-tue
nomination of Fremont and Dayton-ta well
known to lie country , but..the fact Is not so
wel known that Lincoln was on aspirant for
the vice presidential candidacy . and received
10 votes , Dayton the successful man . get-
ting 259 , and Nathaniel Banks who a few
months earlier was chosen speaker forty-six .
This was about the first time that Lincoln's
name had been heard of outside of Illinois
out8le iinois
and a few of the adjoining states , and a story
Is laId In the New York Times of June 20.
the day after the nomnintion . that n. P.
Spalding of Ohio one of the delegates , when
he head the name mentioned . asked If Lln.
coIn could fight. Then W. B. Archer .
one of the Illinois delegates , jumped "at least
eighteen inches from . the floor . " beating .
Ing the air wildly \.Ith his arms . and cried
out In a voice heard on the streets : "Yee ,
sIr ; Lincoln Is a son of Kentuclt . " The
debate with Douglas two weeks later which
was published In one shape or another In all
the principal republican papers of the country
gave Lincoln the prominence which gained
him the candidacy In 18GO. The republicans
wee beaten In 1856 , as most of them expected -
pected to be , but I they hal carried Pennsylvania -
sylvania ( they had New York with 80.000
plural ) ) and Illinois , both of which they
secured In 18GO. they would have yri I

The commlsslontr also rya that of the appropriation -

Additional apportionments amounting to

the authorized surveys of the ceded Sioux
lands In Nebraska situated ImmedIately south
of and closing on the state boundary lines ,
and for the urvey of that part or the ahami.
Ioned Fort Randall military reservation lying

four contracts and one set of special Instruc-

the contracts provided for. the survey of the
Fort Randall reservatiomi . situated In South
Dakota ali Nebraska , and another embraced
the ceded Sioux lands lying welt of the
military reservation and east of the ninety-
ninth meridian , which Is the caster boundary
of lie Rosebud Indian reservation . Six con-

NEEDS OF TIlE BLACK IIILLS.
The commissioner speaks of the recommendations -
mendatols made by the ( purveyor general of
South Dakota relative to needed public land
and mineral surveys within te : district known
as the mack hills . The surveyor general
says : "The time Is certaInlY arrived when
lie surveys should be extended over all of
what Is locally known as the Black His
region. Upon Investigation It Is found that
the ( exterior township anti sublvlslonal lines
should be extended over about thirty townships ( -
ships In this region In order to embrace cx-
Istng settlements and for the purpose of
enabling the ( state of South Dakota . to make
selections It desires In tltit porton of the

number of survey mow.u1cts . to which the
initial monuments mOu\1e established and
those to be hereafter lSlabpshld may easily
be connected . and theey reduce tie number -

to ( Increased activity 11R lnlng circles In
the lacle Ills the grqlPJ of claims which
cluster around the ( durrnmt mIneral monuments -

desire to call atenton % to this mater at this
