On the first ballot for Governor Hon George D. Robinson received 991 votes and Charles Francis Adams, Jr., 117. Mr. Adams at once caused the nomination of Mr. Robinson to be made unanimous. The remaining State officers were renom­ inated.

The question of salaries to be allowed State officers was decided aa follows: The Governor, t-',(00; the Treasurer, Auditor and Attorney Gen­ eral, f1,000 each; the Secretary and Super­ intendent of Public Instruction, $1,500.

The New York reading public were aurprised, the other morning, by the an­ nouncement of a reduction in the price of the Timet from 4 cents to 2 cents a copy. The Tribune partially followed suit, reduc­ ing its price from 4 to 3 cents. The multi­ plicity of cheap morning papers, which had made heavy inroads upon the circulation of the blanket sheets, brought about the re­ duction. The Chicago Christian Convention, led by Moody and Sankey, opened atFarwell Hall, in that city, in the presence of an im- naenae audience. Many noted evangelical workers were in attendance, and during the series of meetings the best methods of Christian work were elaborately discussed. Interest in the meetings did not flag as they progressed, but there was a great rush and packed houses each day. Rev. U. Heber Newtoh, testifying before the Senate Sub-Committee on Edu­ cation and Labor, said the condition of the laboring classes was a subject for expert study, and at the piesent time there was not sufficient information regarding it upon which to ba«e any Intelligent legislation. The difficulties me; with by labor reformers were the intemperate hafaita of the laboring classea and the improper methods to which labor resorted in endeavoring to ac­ complish ita desires. The great want of tbe people he considered to be industrial ed­ ucation. Instruction in public echools was woefully deficient and ita tendency was en­ tirely one-sided. It has given to the youths of the country a dislike for labor, which had a very dangerous tendency. Co­ operation wasnmkenof by tbe witness as the greatest aid to the elevation of the worcing classes Iillie Devevanx Blake, an­ other witness, advocated the establishment of matronshipa in all tbe penal instltu- *5d "tate reformatories for girls. Mrs p. G, Croly. a newspaper writer, who has given considerable study to the tion of the laboring women in New York tnj, recommended a system of oampulsorv education, not only in the common schools but in industrial schools. Mm Dr. & Loxier advocated the use of the ballot by women as the next practical means of im­ proving their conditions.

F. B.

There were numerous monopolies, such as those in land, eurrencv, transporta­ tion, tariff, combination in trade, and taxation, and all had a bearing on the problem under dis- cu'Bon. Intemperance and ignorance were also vital factors. The carrying trade on land could be centered in a tew *"""*•*. but onsei competition would trevent undue exactions by the carriers. Legislation was enacted in the interest of corporations, and offenders in this direction cotud on'y be reached with grent difficulty. If the State constructed railroads and directed other public works it would not have wat­ ered stocks, discriminated against persons and places, corrupted elections and Legisla­ tures, and debauchei the courta.

It. G. Dcn & Co's Mercantile Agency, reports the number of failures throughout the United States and Canada during the week ending Sept 22 as lfr8, compared with 133 the previous week. The report says: "No withstanding the fact that transactions, as interpreted dv the bank exchanges, show a large decline as compared with last year, all symptoms regarding trade point to a prosperous condition. Specu'ation certainty is less rampant than a year ago, but legitimate trade is al­ most as large in volume and certainly more satisfactory, both as to condition, stocks held and promts iealizrd. The large ab­ sorption cf goods at tbe chief lobbing cen­ ters indicates a healthy tone in the ret ill trade. In dry goods there has been a great deal of activity of a very healthy character, and, as in groceries, iron and other trading staples, there is in the main a satisfac:ory condition."

The follow­ ing platform was adopted without dissent: The Re..nb!u ann of New York, in State Con- veuticn, hold that the teo TO of the l.' .pub ioan parly in the past affords the beat guaranty of the par.v's purposes and acts in the future. The pr nervation of the national life, the keep­ ing of fie mtioiial faith, the pn motion of the national c:eJit, the payment of the pu .lie debt, the r?di;ction of taxation, the protection of bomj induetrics, the elevation of labor, the purifloat on of the civil service--and, in fine, administtatlve policy Lased. uron wire legisla­ tion, that has given unexampled prosperity to the country and promoted the happiness and progress of the pcoj Ie--are the achievements that commend the Republican p rty to con­ tinued popular favor.

[Washington Dlspatch.1 It is generally understood that an effort will be i«ade to have the Census Bureau niade a permanent iMtitutton. ThemAiraer In which the census leports for llf80 have dragged along would seem to justify a sus­ picion that such a law would be almost un­ necessary, for it will be at least another year before the reports will appear, although the compositors of the Gov­ ernment Printing Ottoe are working extra hours every d!fc determined tiui the blame for delay shall not rest upon the Publlo Printer s force if a little extra exertion will m'loft It is urged in favor of the scheme to make the bureau a per­ manent one that with very little annual expense a corps of experts oould be main­ tained whose experienoe would be valuable when organizing a force for taking a new census. The ooss of another such under­ taking as that of 1880 would be very greatly reduced, and much time would be saved in getting out the report The bureau would be of tervice to the different State Govern­ ment?, some of which take a State census every live years Data and gener j1 instruc­ tions, given so as to secure a uniformity of the work In the different States, would, fa­ cilitate the taking of the regular deoennial census by the General Government.

In preparation for this general United States register, a new regis- ter for the Interior Department has just been prepared. It shows 3.0JI persons on the Department rolls, not including Indisn police, as the unabridged register does, but on the other hand not limited to the employes here in Wash­ ington.

It is true that the major­ ity of the colored people employed in the department are watchmen, janitors, mes­ sengers, {lackers, laborers, and charwomen, but seventy-one are clerks and copyists with salaries ranging from ITM to#l,f-0 >.

New York and Ohio lseem to have a little in exoess of their Quotas, bntthoeroeaa la not great. Illinois does not get quite its share. Colorado and Indiana have a little more than belongs to them, but the personal equation must be expected, and the head of the department is from one of theee Statea, while the head of the largest bureau In the depart­ ment Is from the other. What will at once strike the reader as surprising is the num­ ber of sppointments from Maryland, Vir- Suia and the Diatrict of Columbia, espoc-lly the latter* There ia a natural explana­ tion for this In the first place, a large number of the employes are janitors, watchmen, scrubbers, packers, laborers, messengers, eta The jobs are naturally given to people near bv, that Is, to residents of the District and the ad­ joining part of Maryland and Virgin's. Peo­ ple do not come to Washington from remote parts of the country to get menial employ­ ment. The other consideration is, that the .solidly Democratic Southern States- do not set their quotas, and. the shsres that would Igo to them on an equitable arrangement go tiothe neighborhood of the capital; as the "South has no political roaaons to urge for office, the places are disposed of for per­ sonal reasons to people whom Congressmen Set acquainted with nere Beside all this, lere is, of course, an advantage in being on or near the ground when vacancies oc­ cur. It might be said still further, that nearly everybody in the District came here from some cue of the States, so that ap­ pointments from the District are scarcely more than appointmenta at large. < Of thoMb placea that Illinois has in the four pay in fees.
