London, june 7,?The London papers publish
pretty lull accounts of the delirious proceedings
it St. Louis. The tteady-ffoin!,' Briton hardly
knows what to make of the red bandanna**, th**
laurel wr-aths, Um bust, the portrait, the State
t-iiri-it-rs, the bunting, thc sixty wind instruments,
of brass nnd the other human wind instruments.
and the rest. He rends with a grin, but there is
as yet no serious comment. " The Daily News,"
always comic on Im rican topics surpasses itself.
Its knowledge of acts is only surit-assod by its
power of prophecy. " As" says this singular jour?
nal. " t-h<r< is ;iu absence of any serious opposition,
the PriMilcnts re-.lectioB may bo considered as?
sured. He is not less fortunate in his enemies
than in bis friends. Thc Republicans' cannot
hope to find any strong candidnte, nnd the chances
aro that Mr. Cleveland will sweep the country as
he liss swent the convention, and that the Repub?
lican party, in thc form in which it has hitherto
exisud, w._l beet m.. a thing of the past.*
Punctually at ll this moraine Mr. Carnegie's
conch lefl the door of the Hotel Metropole for
Cluny Castle, Too miles toward the North Pole.
His party consists of Mrs. Carappie, Mr. and Mn.
Blaine and their two daughters, Hip Dodge, Mr.
tnd Mrs. Phipps. Mr. Dararosch aud Dr. Eaton.
B.tween io and ll o'clock numbers of friends ap?
peared in Mr. Carnegie's parlor to sec them off, and
some hundreds of slightly astonished Englishmen
and women formed a sidewalk committee outside.
Mr. Carnegie is so good a general that all irrepara
tions had been completed over ni;:ht and he seemed
to have nothing to do but to talk politics with his
friends. Many Americans were present. Lord
l-osebery, Mr. Goude,-, the Radical M. P. for
Sunderland, j.nd (.thor Englishmen were conversing
with Mr. Dlaiue. A bouquet of La. France roses for
Mrs. Carnegie aud a basket ol lrnit for Mrs.
Blaine were on thc table, both pi fts from Mr. and
Mrs. Vulings, of New-York. Mrs. Carnegie dis?
tributed other flowers among the company. I
heard that both florist and fruiterer had declined
Io undertake to deliver anything nt the Hotel
Metropole. " We Lave tried it," said they, " in
vain. They are not deliver,d. or arc delivered to
the wrong j?Tsons.** On this occasion they came
lafclj* by fair private hands.
Just before 11 Lord Iioscbcry gave bis arin
to Mrs. Carne;.*!.', Mis. Blaine wat escorted by
her host, and thc whole party with their friends
wci.t down to the front door. Thc police cleared
thc sidewalk. Everybody's place on tho coach
Lad been fixed, and the party souled themselves
comfortably; Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie on the back
?at, and Mr. Blaine and Mrs. Phipps on tho box
next the driver. Tall white bats were the rule
for the men. The coach smartly turned out, with
serviceable looking horses, the leaders gray and
sorrel with black bay wheelers; aud so with a
sharp turu away they went amid cheers from
the croAvd. Mr. Blaine, like all the rest of the
party, looked weil. Ihe weather was all that
could be wished. Their first B-fht will be spent
at Hertford. On tho Fourth of July they reach
Cluny-Carnegie Castle, and the Stars aod Stripes
will float from this Scotti.-*h stronghold?if it be
t stronghold.
A new newspaper libel act is poing through tho

the hardships of th.- present law. As flr~t drafted,
howevr. it bettine in Mr. Justice Stephen's view
som'thing Iii;.' a bill to authorize free trade in
libel. " Thc Journal,*1 which of all morning papers
published in London deals most freely in abuse,
amis'". Mr. Stephen of habitually violating the
honorable traditions of the bench, of grotesque
pedantry, of quibbling and pertifo^-ring. The
article altogether is violent enough to make the

There are not, perhaps, in all England two men
nore remote from Mob other and more unlike
in all esse**'i.il TABBBtM but ono or two than
Lord Donington and Mr. Jo-.se Collings. When.
_-_.te.OW, yeu see Loni HaTtington pre-iding
at a dinner to Mr. Collings, it means something.
It tarama in this case that the great Whig noble
ITf.nr.lm in the plebeian e ham pion of thc agri
tu'tjral laborer a man ol genuine sincerity of
llktaett- who has done much useful work with
Wt reward, lt means also that the tie of a
ft minon faith in the Union and a common dread
ol Home Rait is as strong in these days as any
other political bond whatever. The 006?(ka of
this testimonial to Mr. Collings was his expulsion
by ihe Glad st on ians from thc presidency of the
Allotments Association*, oue more example of that
ferocity which Mr. Godkin admires in English
politics and practises in American. Mr. Chamber?
lain supported his friend Mr. Collings, and made
a si-e.-cli, la the course of which he announced
that an American statesman was about to publish
a b_ok on Ireland. Hm American statesman's
name is William Henry Hurlbert. Sir Lepel
Griffin, too, lent to this occasion the ornament of
his el-quence, abounding, like Jefferson Brick's,
iu UOMMdOM humor. Ile prais-d Lord Hart?

BUSINESS TRANSACTED IN A TUMULT.

fBT TKLKORArtt TO THE TRIBCXE.]
Washington, Jun.?.?The House to-day made
itself virtually a branch of the St Louis Con?
vention. Thero \vor a constant succession of
scenes, and the transaction of business waa re?
peatedly interrupted by an uproar worthy of
the French Corps Logislatif-member. shaking
their fists in each other's faoes and indulging
in shouts and gesticulations whioh were abso?
lutely unintelligible to thc reporters. Notwith?
standing all this and the reading of the tele?
grams and tho waving of Thurman ? wipes,'' the
main feature of the day, which was Mr. Breckin
ridge's unpatriotic amendment to Mr. Dinglcy's
motion so to amend the free lumber clauses as to
make their operation contingent upon Canada
giving to thc United States thc commercial priv?
ileges to which she is entitled, was not lost sight
of. It will be remembered that Mr. Dingley
proposed to insert after the proviso: "That if
any export duty is laid upon the above mentioned
articles (all these articles being sawn and manu
factored bimberi by nny country, all said articles
shall be subject to duty as no\v provided by law.'"
Mr. Dingley proposed to add to that the fol?
lowing proviso:
Tliiit all said articles shall be subject te the same duty
as now provided by luw when imported from any country
which denies in Its ports, to fishing or other vessels of
the United Suites authorize. to touch and trsde _t loreign
port*, the same commercial privileges, Including tho right
to buy provisions, bait snd supplies, and te transship any
portion ol csrpo, as are granted to almllir vessels ef such
country In ports of the Culled States.
To I'.n's Mr. 1-i'cckinrldgo proposed an amend?
ment as fol.ows:
That when tho said commercial pitvtleges, Including
the right to buy provisions, bait and supplies, and to
transship any portion of cargo, aro granted to the fishing
| snd other vessels or the United States by tho Dominion
I of Canada, then mackerel, herring, salmon and other
| Ash, smoked, dried, sal tod, pickled or preserved, except
j anchovies and sur.line*, or other fish preserved la oil,
shall be free- of duty.
And provided fuitlier, that whenever the Dominion of
Canada admits product*, wares and merchandUo grown,
produced or manufactuied tn the United States free of
dm.**, then the products, wares and merchandise grown,
produce, or manufactured in said Dominion of Canada
shall be admitted free of duty.
Mr. Dingley reiterated with force and marked
effect the points he made yesterday with regarfl
to the immense concessions which the Mills bill i
proposed to grant to Canada, and another speaker |
interposed tho remark that by the admission j
of one of the leuding Canadian authorities, thoso
concessions as already passed in thc bill would
amount to over $9,000,000 per annum, and he
showed how thc restrictions which the Canadians
now placed upon the fishery interests of the
United Suites were directly contrary, not only to
treaty rights, but to inherent righto which the
American colonies had inherited Irom the mother
country.
Mr. llitt, of Illinois, following in tho same line,
said that no English or Canadian statesman had
ever mentioned or claimed what Mr. Breckinridgo
in his amendment voluntarily conceded.
Mr. Reed quoted the constitution of the Knights
of Labor that. " injury to one was tho concern of
all,** and said that no matter how remote might
bo the Eastern States nnd the region represented
| by th? gentleman from Kentucky, the injury which
the National honor had received in this fishery
dispute should be the patriotic concern of all. Fie
declared the privileges which the barbaric powers
in tho days of piracy had given to the vessels of
the United States had within the last few years
been denied by Canada to the fishing vessels of
M.-sfaeh ii setts in order to coerce some stub pro?
ceeding as wns now contomplited. Only the im?
mediate object then kui nb t was to open the
American markets to Canadian fish ; now it was to
open American markets to Canadian lumber. In
| tne early days of the Nation'*, history, la its wook*
: ness and isolation, it had yielded some points on
I this fishery question, but tn-day. standing up as
' the peer of any nation, nothing but cowards pre
'. vented her asserting her rights. This declaration
! was received with tumultuous cheers.
Mr. Reed addr-d that even the doctrines laid
down liy his own D.-mocrni ic Secretary
i of State put to shame the pusillani?
mous proposition of tbe gentleman from Kf*n
' tucky (Mr. Ureckinri.ipre|, and called for
the voting down of his resolution and the voting
up of that offered by the gentleman from Maine.
Not withstand! aft however, this pntriotie appeal,
; which was seconded in vigorous terms by Mr
Adams, of Chicago, and others, the Rrerkinridrjo
I amendment to the Dingley resolution wan adopted,
I and then the resolution as untended was voted
Oown. _
THE SELF!.-Dr.E COURT MARTIAL.
TESTIMONY IN HIS OWX ni.IUI.-* BY TIU- ACCUSED
officer.
Washington, June 7.? The court m .rt lal of Captain
Thomas O, Selfridge continued Its scs. lons at the Navy
Department to-day. Tho accused officer took the stand
In his own behalf and detailed the precautions against,
danger taken by him on tho oreaslou of the target
praetlee in question. He said he did not claim that
he had any right to praetlee at tarpot within the three
mile limit, but asserted ihat lt had been a well-known
usage and custom not only of ships of the American
Navy but of other naval powers to have target practice
within this limit, and lt had never. In any instance
within hi* knowledge,, boen prohibited or objected to
ty tho Japanese authorities. On thc contrary, lt ap?
peared that the Japanese Government recognized this
as tho usual custom, and In 1881 Issued a letter of
request to the consuls of the different forelpn govern?
ments requesting them to Inform commanders of ship*
that they should not havo gun practice within tho
throe-mile limit unless they should ash and obtain
special permission. This order, lt appoarc.1, was not
made public, and Captain Selfrldse testllt'd that he
was entirely Ignorant of lt. as wet** also Rear-Admirals
I lavis and (handler who had commanded th ? squadron.
He stated that the practice wa? had again*! th? hluir,
and not In violation of any Japanese rights, but en?
tirely from eaaoMerattOM of s_feiy, tvs the sea fnr

L-reaier precaution that he scloetod this Mull an a

This ended the testimony for the defrnco, and Mr.
Kent will begin his argument to-morrow.

Wa-Wingtom, June t -Once ssore the gravest
apprehensions os to General Sheridnn are enter?
tained. Tho situation is so serious that it may
terminate in death nt any moment Tho parallel
drawn between his condition last Saturday and
thnt of yesterday with the intervening relapses
only casually referred to by way of indicating
what might po-sibly be expected, has unhappily
been verified. Tho downward tendoncy begnn in
the night. The. Gen ral wa*, restless. Ile com
plaind of nausea, bis tongue became heavily coat?
ed, indicating the known but unmentioned liver
disease, and he wandered in his mind.
As thc day wore on his symptoms increased in
Intensity, and tho heart failure returned. The
galvanic battery, once before applied, was again
tried, and tho inhalation of oxygen was resorted
to to the fullest possible extent. Father Chapelle
was sent for and passed nn hour or more with thc
General but lie was beyond consciousness. Pub?
lic anxiety, which had in a meaure calmed down,
agaiu roue to a high pitch, and was not relieved
by the 0 o'clock bulletii: which rend ns follows:
The failure of the heart which was notlcel In the last
bulletin, has been followed by a severe congestion of tbe
lungs, -.-.n-ral .sheridan ls delirious. Ills temperature

Dr. Pepper, of Philadelphia, sent for by tele?

Colonel Blunt at ll :.'I0 emerged from the house
and went home. He said that tho General wns
resting more quietly, but gav. no further informa?
tion as to his condition. The probability is that
the usual 12 o'clock midnight bulletin will bc
delayed perhaps until after Dr. Pepper's arrival.
There are no worse developments thnn are indi?
cated in the 9 o'clock bulletin, but a change in
the. temperature, which has set in hero to-night,
thc weather being many degrees cooler than it wns
early in tho evening, will probably have on effect
the reverse of beneficial upon thc congestion of
the lungs which thc physicians speak of, but which
is stated from unoflicial sources to have been a
well-developed congestive chill. All four of the
Army surgeons are in attendance, and will remain

Philadelphia, June 7.?The unfavorable change In
Oeneral Sheridan's condition has made the presence
of Dr. William Pepper again necessary, and ho left
here on a special train for Washington at ll o'clock.
When asked his opinion of tho ca.so as lt now stands
tho doctor said:
"Until last night the telegraphic reports to myself,
as well __s the published bulletins, Indicated that the
Oeneral had fully held the Improvement which had
boen secured. He then began, however, to show re?
newed symptoms ol nervouj exhaustion and heart
failure. This may have koon In part favote.l by the
fact that after tho hemorrhage lt wa., of course,
necessary to use food and stimulants with extreme
ratiMon. In addition, the heavy drain upon his vitality,
caused by tho long struggle, ls consequently MHog,
and thus makes lt very MO] for .light causes IO produce
serious symptoms. I trust, thoofh, that this telaj-se
will, like previous ones, scon be mastered."
Ihe doctor added th... today's relapse wu not as
severe, In his oplnlun, tm previous ones.

was much disturbed about the report thal he dictated
Thurman's nomination. It was said that .scott and

VENTION REGISTERS THE WILL OF THU
GREAT BOSS-WATTERSON AND GOR?
MAN WEEP ON EACH OTHER'S
NECKS-TIIE MILLS BILL
INDORSED WITH A
WHOOP - TUB
PLATFORM.
St. Louis, June 7.?The convention which ad?
journed to-day Las not only made Mr. Cleveland
a second time a candidate for the Presidency, but
| it has revealed him as the absolute dictator of
hil party. He has secured his own nomination,
he luis named tlie candidate for thc second placo
on thc ticket, und he has dictated the platform
to the Inst word and letter. William L. Scott,
of Pennsylvania, proudly assured a Tribune cor
1 respondent, as will bc seen elsewhere in thea?
(lisp:niches, that the platform is not changed one
iota from tho form in which he brought it from
Wu sh ingt on.
The nomination of Thurman for vice-President
; vms made with great enthusiasm, as one knew it
! would bc. There is no doubt of the affection for
, Allen G. Thurman among Democrats. In this
K>pecti the nomination is a singular one, for it is
nn example of a thing rarely seen in politics?a
.Notated nomination which is at the sumo time
I popular.
ANOTHER SENTIMENTAL BLUNDER.
But there can be no question that a considerable
proportion of the delegates to this convention
believe thai in Mag led hy ito affection for
i Thurman into yielding so readily to thia mandatory
nod frrm the White House, the Democratic party
I hns BUtdo another of thc sentimental blunders
, for which it is so famous. A man has beti
(.elected for thc second place who is considered
' exceptionally old (as men go) for active public
j life: and also is not like Gladstone or Bismarck
continually demonstrating that his strength is
: unimpaired) but who is in fact known to bc both
I feeling and showing thc weight of his years.
! If he had been chosen in order to strengthen tho
I party in a doubtful State, there might have seemed
' to Le a little more polities and a little less senti?
ment In this selection. But he represents a State
| which is so surely Republican that Mr. Thurm-in
himself has said since this convention began that
j the Democrats cannot hope to carry it. Indiana,
next to New-York the conspicuously doubtful
.State, has been left uncovered to the enemy. The
anew0! lo all this is that Democrats love Allen G.
Thurman. So they loved Horatio Seymour, as
they have never probably loved any man before
or since, but ho made a very poor run for the
Presidency.
Mirny of the more thoughtful Democrats here
feel that a blunder has been made. Tho dele?
gates from the Pacific Slope have, been talking In
their tropical way about carrying thoso States for
Thurman. Into the midst of this racket and bom
j bast has como tho report of 4,000 Republican
: majority in Oregon, and men who have got minds
above shouting and waving a red handkerchief
; are unquestionably somewhat uneasy about the
-it tia t ion.
When the convention met this morning it was
well known that the last spark of rebellion in
ilu- New York delegation against Thurman's nomi?
nation had been stamped out under the feet of
Messrs. Scott and Gorman. Forty-five members of
tho New York delegation met informally
this morning and made the pleasing dis
I covery that they were all for Thurman. The
utmost harmony prevailed, thanks to the nails in
tho boots of two bosses.
WATTERSON APPEARS WITH GORMAN.
The first business after the opening prayer was
tho report of the Committee on Resolutions, with
? which Mr. Watterson appeared. The announce
i. nt that it was a unanimous report, which af?
terward proved to be slightly inaccurate, was
greeted with great applause. Mr. Petty, noding
i clerk of the House, mounted the stenographer',
desk nnd read the platform to the convention.
Tlie delegate* followed it with interest, but were
too languid to io much applauding. When Henry
Watterson cuni' forward to advocate its adoption
j he was warmly cheered. Mr. Watterson is evi
< deiitly ono ol the very popular men of the Demo*
! cratio party. His frank, soldier-like face has only
I to be NOB to evoke applause. His speech to-day,
however, did not do him justice. Whether he was
i hampered Ity tlie physical effort to till the vast hall
or whether his heart was not in it, his speech
was comparatively lame. There was one charac
? lerist,.: touch at thc* close, however, when he said
. that Democrats could never know one another
; weil or love one another entirely until they have
had some fun with one another, and then intro
j dueed Senator Gorman, whoso presence thero was
e\ idently meant to signify the acquiescence of the
| protection element in thc platform.
Senator Gorman is not an orator as Brutus
waa but he whs there to show his smooth, pale,
cynical face for a purpose, and accomplished it.
His speech wus Interrupted by BO ebullition of tho
iiiob at the side of the hall about half way down,
who swayed over the policemen and took posses
si., ii of a number of empty scats. An overzealous
I . iitiiry on the platform, thinking apparently to
prevent a panic, pressed thc ever-ready cleetri<
button and started up tlie band, which proved to
be more dillieult to suppress tlian tho mob. Sena?
tor Gorman iinnlly succeeded, however, in saying
hil say, after whieh Watterson secured tho pre?
vious question and tha platform was declared
unanimously adopted amid enthusiastic cheering.
wak.m APPROVAL av THE MILLS BILL.
Mt. Watterson then announced three separate
i nsol.itions. The first of these, introducing a bill
before thc House commonly supposed to be the
Mills bill, but not specifically mentioning it. was
; received with a ringing cheer which left no doubt
[ wli.r.: tin* real heart of thc Democrat-, is in the
? larifT fight, and went through with a rush. It was
pr.sent.il by William L. Scotty whom many of the
delegates saw for the first time, and who thus far
had not opoaod his mouth in the Convention. Ile
is rather under the averago height, with the air of
ii (jiiiet Im,i,irss man, a drooping brown mustache,
and a faint bald spot, tlie ) miriest-looking man of
! sixty-live you would see in many a day's journey.
This resolution was passed without a dissenting
voice, alter all the prot.st'tions the more con
: servative cl.uncut had made, and the way the
! i.-\;.s. Illinois sad other delegations leaped to their
I feet with shouts while tho red bandannas waved
everywhere, showed how much it pleased them.
Then came forward youug Mr. Lehmann, of thc
Iowa -l-l -.-.tti-n. a beardless fellow with a square
eur. rosoluta*4ookiBc ba _? lo ptetaal th.< rcsoluUoa
advoa-tiBf tha adm Moa Bl Dakota, Woshingt-n
? ry. N'W-Mi \ieo, arid Montana as Stat.*-.
and making a magnificent exhibition of impu
dence l> charging tho Republi.an party with
denying the rights of Statehood to Territories.
lins, too, went through under the previous ques?
tion.
The dre*"* parnde of the Committee on Resolu?
tions (laird with the .'ii>i*carnnee of ex-Governor
I goa Abbett, of New-Jersey, with the Tammany
Itka tot HOM Rule In Ireland. This wns
received Wilh ar* QBlhBWt of cheering, Daniel
i Dougherty and Joseph J. (/Donohue rising in the
Ncv-York delila.oa and the latter flourishing
iiis cane, with its red bandanna attached, willi
I tho greatest enthusiasm. It noed hardly bo said
that the resolution was unanimously adopted.
After the Convention had adopted, by a rising
vote, a resolution of respect to the memory of
Vice-l "resident Hendricks, and it was stated that
Ldwurd Cooper, of New-York, dissented from p
PA rt of the platform, th* speeches on the nonv
ination of tho vice-President began, under a call
of thc States. M. F. Tarpey, of California, one ol
the bitterest opponents of Cleveland in thc conven*.
tien of 1884, presented Thurman. Thero wal
som. amusement when he called him the Knight
of the Red Bandanna. When he alluded to Gray,
there waa a great outbreak in thc galler.es, of
cheers, yells, calls, cries that were said to be im*
nations of tho coyote by persons familiar wltH
the musical habits of that animal and others that
were said to be Imitations of the prairie d(>?.
What with these and the rebel yell aud the flsH
horns, the galleries managed to get a good deal
of fun ont of the Convention. When Mr. Tarpcy
| mentioned Black, there was no rvsponso from th.
delegates, but when ho spoke of a candidate wh.
shall sweep the country like a tidal wave,
thew was an unwelcome response ia
a loud shout ot ? Gray, Gray,** ami
When he spoke of nominating Thurman by accla?
mation, there were cries of * No, no." General
Black, the ? Physical Wreck," had the undeserved
good fortune of having tho most skilful speech
of the day, if not of tin whole Convention, mad.
in his honoe. This was by T. M. Patterson, ol
Colorado, who filled the hall hotter than any othee
speaker, with mach tact. Mr. Patterson managed,
to intimate, without being offensive, that Mr.
Thurman was so old that he mUht not live long,
and left General Black a candidate before tho
Convention ot thc samo time that he had pi-actU
cally put him lu the Attitude of gracefully with?
drawing. This was done in a long telegram to
which General Black subscribed himself, ? Youl
obliged fellow eitizen."
Mr. Pigott, of Connecticut, seconded Thurman,
declaring that thc only open opposition to the.
adoption of tho President's platform came from
thc President's own State. Thc manufacturers ol
his State would not be afraid of thc platform jual
ad.lilied. I
When Indiana was called and the tall fl gurt,
of Senator Voorhees wus seen moving toward
the platform, there was great cheering. Tile Sen?
ator is somewhat slow Bince his famous encounter
with Senator Inglis. At all events, he has lost
some of his hair and all of his chin lieard. Ho
adroitly managed to remind Um convention that
they cojld not hope to carry Ohio, and told them
that since Indiana was admitted in IM ?">, no Demo?
cratic President had BTV been inaugurated who
did not receive its vote. While ho was talking,
borne one in thc gallery called out:
".Oregon!"
?* Yes," said Mr. Voorhees, ? take warning hf
Oregon," and then ho proceeded to enforce thu
lesspn that has been worrying a good mar.a
Democrats since they heard from the Pacitic Slope.
Albert F. Cox, who declared himself in rat hen
on egotistical way to be a Union man from
Georgia, and Evan E. Settle, of Kentucky, sco*
onded Gray's nomination. All of the speakers
for Gray hinted at disaster if he should not bo
nominated Nathaniel C. Dryden, one of tho
delegates-at-large from Missouri, aud an effective
speaker, raised a big cheer by coming out strong
for Thurman. But there was a decided anti-climax
when Mr. Dryden spoke of the rest that would
be so grateful to Thurman, and a man in tho
gallery called out, " Give it to him," at which
there was a laugh. Governor Green, of New*)
Jcrsey, spoke well for Thurman.
Tbi anxiety of delegates to talk through tho
newspapers to millions of people began to draw tho
speeches out to a wearisome length. J. W. Dori
soy, a young delegate from Nevada, visited somo
particularly florid eloquence on the Convention,
the effect of which was marred when a sagacious
critic In the gallery yelled, "Rats!" Georgo
Raines spoko for New-York and called Thurman
the Cato of the Republic This evoked no enthu?
siasm. The audience was too highly educated
not to know that Cato never carried a ni
bandanna in tho most remote pocket of!
his swflllow-taiL T. E. Powell, who
had the honor of being put up to be knocked
down by Governor Foraker in the last campaign
in Ohio, made a speech of tho conventional sort
in which he pronounced Thurman to be the Glad?
stone of America. Ex-Governor Throckmorton, ol
Texas, paid President Cleveland a doubtful com?
pliment when he said that no living apEa
in America stands higher in the hearts of the Do*,
mocracy than Thurman. Senator Daniel, of
Virginia, made the blunder of saying that Thurman
had been Governor of Ohio, whieh he never was,
and went to the length of conqiaring the red
bandanna which ho flourished before tho Coo*,
vention, to a liberty cap. The most polished
tribute of the di<y must not bc forgotten."
'* That distinguished statesman, that laithful
patriot, that bald headed gentleman," was Mr*
Settle's description of Grover Cleveland.
Tho ballot showed the States coming steadily!
into line for Thurman, though the original G:ay
and Black men stood lirm. Tho call went ont
amid thc usual uproar and bursts of cheering. By)
the time West Virginia had been called, Gray had
lij votes and and thc Black boom was a physical
wreck to tho tune of Ai votes. At this point
thc Gray stovepipe hat was taken down from
the Indiana pole, and, amid great cheering, a
red bandanna was flung over it. lhere followed
a brief reiietition of thc scene of yesterday. Tho
air was red with flying bandannas, while O. 0_
Staley, of Indiana, bore the Indiana polo to tho
platform and held it there. There was a new feat*
ure in to-day's jubilation ; a live rooster was Hu.iq
on the stenographers' table and tossed about from
hand to hand, bearing this inscription:
" I am for Allen G. Thurman."
The poor rooster was scared out of his wits,
and looked as sick as the Democracy rooster prob?
ably will next November. In due time tho norn*
inatlon was made unanimous, and tho work o|
the convention wns ended.
I
NOT ALL HARMONIOUS.
CHEERFUL WORD.. OE THE ADM INISTRATIOJt
LEADERS CONCEAL SOME SORE FEELINGS.
St. Louis, June 7 (Special,.? Now that tlie Con.
vention is a thing of the past and no one has at*
tempted to kick over thc traces, the Administration
| leaders arc beginning to congratulate themselves!
upon tue successful issue of their plans. Thor,?
were seme critical moments, to be sure, when art
open revolt seemed imminent, as, for instance, on
Monday when the Maryland delegation, composed,
for the greater part, of young and ino,*., minced
men, ventim-d iii their cups to forget that they;
had a ? boss" who might indulge them in a little*
frolic, but would exact strict obedience whenevon
the time came to enforce it. and again last night,
when for a moment it looked as if the County,
Democracy of New-York would try to smash tho
slate und vote for Gray to spite 'lammany.
Of Colonel Watterson, too, the Administration
man never felt sure until he was shorn like Sam*,
son, of his locks, and had fallen a victim to tho
wiles of Gorman. The latter has no use for i-mptfl
lu.aors. The chairmanship of the ('..mmutec oa
Resolutions had no attractions to him except as t,
means of playini; upon tho .an,ty of thc hem
tucklan. Watterson rose to the bait with the int
nocenco and eagerness of a blackhall, swallowed
hook, boh, sinker and all, and once caught in the
meshes of the Administration net, proved as harm*
less and tractable as could bc d sired. No woude*
Gormun is rubbing his hands to-day and Scott tip*
the wink at the knowing ones. The Pennsylvania
boss was found standing in the lobby of tho toalki
ern Hotel soon after the adjournment of th cc-n**
vention to-day. His btaad Mik rT.QHt.Qd ovcb
his features as he received the congratulations ol
his friends.
"Well," he r?iaark.d to | eOKMBptodeal of
The Tribune, " it all turned out just aa it waa
planned. The lamination, th. platform, c.cry
tliing included, not a single thing miscarried.*'
tt Ia this true also of thc platform ?"
? I brought out that platform myself, not tho
crossing of a t, not the dotting of an i waa changed,
