In conclusion Gov, Muryati put in nomination Hon. Theo, M. l'omeroy, of New York, for temporary 'diairulan. The latter gentleman haying been chosen, cn taking tV.e chair proceeded to deliver a .short apuech, iu which he made some Mr-J'Kugfjedtious to the convention. proposes that ' the convention thull emphatically, demand the i;rouipt and efficient execution of solemn" of both thos promise Presiand tbo Houses of Oongresi , dent, to redeem in cuiu the legal tender obligations of the Govern-lacon the 1st of January, 1879, ut and 'signify its opposition to any or1 repeal of this law that docs not guarantee a still earlier or better1 method of returning to modification ipecie payment." Another suggestion made by Mr. l'juieroy, is that the convention in-a- ing rt iu its platform a plauk renderan incumbent of the office of President ineligible to and extending the term to six years. II j said that to the last three conven-liuu- s of tho party, public sentiment had indicated the only man to place iu nomination, (nicauicg, of course, Liucolu aud (J rant) but that now the public auutitnent does not indicate any oue, and the responsibility of this convention will be greater than that of its predecessors; Mr. 1. stales that "the hi?tory of the Republican party iurnLshea of its desire that the government shall be administered with houesty and economy." He thinks party tics ere now so lax that a good evi-deu- platform will not suffice to float an uuworthy candidate. Mr. IV said the Republican party had many missions unfulfilled, lie indulged in, a tirade against the lmocratic party.

The committee on resolutions met hit un;ht at 7 o'clock, and coiu- aiouced the arduous labcr of fixing l up u platform. It was in session which hud at time it Uiidcight, not made much headway. ' . Tait Dispone of Far ken. MiLWAUKiK, June 8th, 1876. Editor Jckctios: In your edition of tho 15th of April, lust, there appeared an article, purporting to LftTe been written by Josiah I'urkes, in which be criticized certain statements made by me in a private letter written to Mr. Barker, of Willard, part of which was previously published in jour paper. As the article is headed "l'arkea vs. Tait," and aeks which is to be believed, permit me to say in reply, that the statements in my letter were based upou information derived from one of the Directors of the Ogden Iron Manufacturing Company.reniding at Mil waukee, and that since writing my letter to Mr. Darker, which Mr. 1'arkes so unjustly criticizes, I have come to Milwaukee and have examined the records of the bankruptcy court. I find from the records that George Parkes, not Dr. Parkes, was one of the assignees, aud it was George Parkes instead of Josiah Parkes woo applied to the court for an order, "permiitinr the trivate sale of the Iron works in your city;" so if I had been misinformed as to the names of these' parties, and it happens to be George Parkes, not Dr. Parkes, who was the assignee, aud Geo. Parkes who applied for the order to sell th' works at private sale, instead of Joeiah Parkes, the difference is merely one of names, and not material. If I thought it was the intention of Joeiah Parkes, in writing his letter, merely to have these corrections made, I would cheerfully give him the beucfit of them, as I do, and stop here; but when I find that Josbh Parkes knew that his brother George was one of the assignees in this Iron Company, when ho wrote in his letter that it was untrue that Dr. Parkes and his brother George were or ever were the assignees of the company, and that Mr Josiah Parkes, when he wrote that it "was uu true that Josiah Parkes has ever to the commissioner in bankan order permitting the for ruptcy, 'private sale of the Iron Works in your city," kaew that it was true that his brother George had applied to the court for that vdry order, I am forced to believe that his intention was, not to eorrect the names of the parties, but rather to mislead your readers under cover of names.to believe thatuo Parkes was an assignee, and that no such uppli cation for a private Sile had been made Again, in bis ldtter.Mr Josiah Parkes says that no plea nor oath or otherwise bn ever been filed by me, nor so far as I know by any one else, which sets up that the brickwork is nearly all destroyed, and the machinery is so spoiled, that it Will soon be no better than old iron." In answer to this I state that Josiah Parkes has made oath he. ore the bankruptcy court to that effect, and to substantiate tbii statement I introduce the language of Mr Josiah Parkes himself, as given by him in court, as a witness to show that the works ouht to be He said: "The sold at private sale blastfurnace is lined with fire brick; Tho rain is beating in; tlie brick is crumbling away; it will not stand the we v her; It will all crumble to piece; they (the ftre brick) ttand fire but not water; that U the conrfitijn of it. I consider the n;aohinery depreciates in vlue trior than anything else; it rusts, corrodes and degrades ia v&'uc; it is corroding deeper all the time; the rollers are rusted so that they would have to be turned over, and considerable labor expended upon tbeni before they could be used; I tuiuk depreciating as it is lying idle and unproductive is suaicieut cause to sell it.'1 ' I find that Mr Parkes has also sworn that "if the majority of the machinery Could not be sold for rolling mill purposes, it would have to be told for old iron," and that it would be best to sell the works at private sale. Mr Howard also swore thai all the bricks were crumbling away, and that "the machinery is rusting aud corroding and tlepre dating in value, and it would be best to dispose of the works at private sale." As I was not present at court whin the proceedings were had, I ha?e no personal knowledge of what was said, and have no means of knowing except from the records of the court; and in regard Xo the "oath filed," we must choose between believing the statement in Mr. Parkes' letter as to what he did not say, and the record of the Oaurt as to what Be did say, which ? hall we believe?
