Mr. Ilalfley Is tall. Imposlnc. Improsslve, and silently deaf. It Is not on record that 'he ever failed to ho.ir nnythlnc that ho was particularly anxious to hear: but I1I9 hnrdnosn of hoarlne makes It nonlbto for him, when any ono re marks. " Vhelps Is tho man forim to tie to," to reply with tho utmost seriousness, "les.thnt'a just what 1 have said all alone; tbo l'lielpn movemont is bound to illo out." Jlr. Hnlsoy had little to ray in thn caucus, nnd mndo no fuss about bis lows ns to Mr. Wiolps, but afterward when ho told tho reporters, " Yes. 1 uitreed to vote for Wiolps for one bal lot," there was n very dlntluct and significant accent on tho " for nno ballot," No formal ac tion was taken by tho Jorsnymon nston sec ond choice for I'rcldent or as to Mee-l'resl-dent, but they make no pretetico of lntendlne to support f'helt a for i'resldent any loneer than until thny can see tho way to an avnllablo dlckor In his Inteiest for the Vleo-rresldeticy.

Tho Dnpew move ment In New York will tend to drlvo thn West ern Mates toeothor on tho strongest other candidate, for thoy are bound to beat Depew. Then, when that Is done, hew York will, we am afraid, demand thn Vlco-rrosldency for Morton, perhaps, as a sortof consolation. Thnt would lonvo New Jersey out. Htlll.

'J here was a deal of nnery commont In the cool corner room of the Jerseymeiiat tlieOrnnd 1'iielllo ovor a despatch dated from Camden, which appeared in thn Timrs here this morn Ine. It was n sensational story of how Now Jersey was not forl'helpsnt all, but was merely helm: manipulated by exbcnntor Howell to dnmnco i'helps as a United States renntorial r-nndidulo next winter. Tho Jersey delceatos found In tbo despatch suiface indications of tho hand of Thomiis II. Dudley, tho fnmous ex Consul to Liverpool, and chief kicker In tho nntl Sewell rnrty In Camden county politics. For some slneularrensonthosnmeidnnnppoaredto strike Mr. Dudley himself, for, almost boforo any one olo had seen tho despatch, ho was nt Mr. Wiolps's room protostlne that It was nono of his work, nnd that, for himself, ho was dolus all ho could to aid Wielps. In spltoof tbodisn, ereeuble fnet that the huted Kowell was dolnc the same thine. In spite of their protests that really they l.ave no second eholco end wnnt to Im entirely impartial between tho vnilous Western candidates, tho leaders In tho Jersey delcention are uu.loui to hao tho tickot Har rison and I'lHps. and are doliie all thoy can to turn the. deleeates In that direction. Another class morn conspicuous, if less In llueiiti.il. has been paintlne tho deleentlon lieadquurters Aleer red all day.

Tho Indiana deleentlon sent several committees to the Jersoy rooms durlnc tho day. nnd Harrison's white badees wcro quietly shoved Into the Jersoymon's Insldo pockets, "vrheio thoy would bo ready and handy when the time comes," it was explained. Mr. Jackson of Now York, who Is very dls-tlneui-hed looklnc. nnd woro badees all over bis coat, was introduced to tho Jer-eymen ns a brother of o-hpeaker Schuvler It.

COXVEXTIOX OP.ATOH8. The probabilities of n flow of oratory In tho Convention, rcmarkublo for anything but Its quantity. Is not promising at piosont. The nr rangemont Is that ox-Gov. Porter of Indiana Will rlnco Harrison in tho field. Tho ox-Governor is a great stump-speaker, they say, buthas Ftill his reputation to make in tho raoro pol ished and moro difficult stjlo of oratory necessary In such an assemblage as the Natlonnl Convention.

Tho bhormnn movement will liavo Gen. Has tings of Pennsylvania for its chief speaker. If his ability equals his giod intentions he will do vory well indeed. He Fays that he proposes to name Shormun. oven though not a single othor Pennsylvania delegate, stands by him. Joe Hnwlev probably won't eet any speech i nt all. Iho Connecticut people say they think 'they nie dolne enoueli in voting for him. An Illinois man. perhaps Cullom.per hnpsSiwott, will name Greshnm, but the sub ject In tho present state ot the Grosham boom i is not filled with infinite inspiration. John W. 1 Wrlees. who will nominate I'helps. will bo .1 debutante on the National Convention stneo. He Is slender, clean shaven, and stern looking, jouthful withal.

To choose tho man who would probably preside ovor the stormiest scenes ot tho Republican Convention was the delicate and important task before tho Na tional Committee whon the members assem bled at noon to soloct a temporary Chairman for the Convention. The cnll of States for tho presentation of candidates was at onco begun. California, almost at the head of the list, had the advantage of being tho first to nnmo Its fa vorite. M. M. Estee of California was the gon tlemun urged by 31 r. Davis of that Htato, Mr. Estco was presented In a strong speech as the candidate of tho united far West. Ho was put forward ns an anti-monopoly man of tho tlrst water, and attention was called to tho I quick action of tbo Democrats In choosing a temporary Chairman from the coast. John M. Thurston of Nebraska wns presented In a briof, iiolntod speech by Church Howe of that State. Stress was laid on bis ability as a parliamentarian and upon his brilliant spcoch seconding Gen. Logan's nomination In the I Nntlonnl Convention four yoHrs ago. Mr. Lelund of Kansas vociferously seconded the nomination of Estee for his nntl-monopoly I record, Oregon nlso seconded htm. The voto i resulted in a tie. nnd Chnlrmnn B. F. Jones i cost the deciding voto In favor of Thurston. I Tho nomination wns made unanimous, on nio , Hon of Mr. Hamlll of Colorado, who had actod . with tho Faclilc const men. J.

Judge Thurston, who has been selected for recommendation to tho Convention for tem porary Chad man. was congratulated from all sides after tho adjournment of tho committee. The Californinns, thoroughly unused to defeat, were simply dumfounded. Their opponents, liowovor. woro no less surprised, the closeness of the voto being almost wholly unexpected. It was pretty generally conceded thnt the amount of strength gathered b7 tbo Callfornians land the number of votes they mustered was. under the circumstances, a tribute to the Pacific slope nothing short of that accorded by tho Democrats at SL Louis. Nevertheless the coast men wore sore, nnd their Enstorn sup porters not loss so. Everybody else thought tho Eteo men had made a magnifi cent light, considering how they had been bandicapiied by their late arrival, homo talk of carrying tho fight into tbo Con vention was heard, but Mr. Estee. on consulta tion with bis friends, announced that he would not allow any contest in his bohalf. Cyrus Loiand of Kansas Is said to have been the most earnest champion of Estee in tho Na tional Committee. He said: "The press ot Nebiaska has vigorously opposed Depew as being a corporation mnn. yet at the first oppor tunity Nebraska presents a railroad attorney for temporary Chairman. We came here to mako votes for tho party, and not to drive them from the party." A consensus ot opinion from tho people in the corridors wns that Esteo would have won on his presentation as an anti-monopoly cnn dldnto. but tho friends of too many favorite son candidates for tho I'rosldonoy united largely ngalnst such a pronounced recognition of nu out-nn-out Blnlne delcgato ns the man from tho Pacific slope.

When The Bun bcf-an lte investigation of tho public schools In this city it had no dostro to find any individual or organlrutlon guilty of neglect: there was not even n desire to pick flaws In the eystom ot education, although many matters of common knowledgo led to tho expectation ot finding ovil features. On the strength ot personnl visits to schools In all parts ot the city speclfla chargos have beon published against tho sTstem. and in a general way against tho Board of Education, which Is responsible for It- Nothing could bo plainer than thnt tho schools demand a great deal of attention. It pnrents understood tho snnltary condition of tho buildings to which they con sign their children thero would be n con siderable exodus of pupils and a shorter list ot applicants for admission. It tho Commissioners actually porformed their duties and visited the schools thoy might awake to tho deplorable neods of tho system, and perhaps rouse themsehos to toko Bomo romodlal action. Thero are Commissioners who fulfil the duties lmposod upon them by tbolr offices, and thore are schools which mako an approach to decenoy and effectiveness, ns near. In fact, as they can. nnd not violate tho sacred principles of the Manual. It Is tho pur pose now to exposo In detail tho facts whioh have lnducod The Hun to advocate strenu ously a radical reform In tho public, school system. People may find those facts for them selves, and It nhonld be understood thnt no de scription ot the situation can ho as offectivo nn a singlo day spent In personal Inspection ot typical schools. Tins Sun has confined Itself thus far to a consideration of primary departments. Tho primary school Is usually subdivided into six. grade, the sixth including beginners, and tho Drat thoso who will pass Into tho grammar de partment at tho beginning ut anothor school year. There nre five primary schools In tho Tenth ward, ono in a building by itcolf, nnd tho others in grammar school buildings. Tho Tenth Is one ot tho smallest wards geograph ically undone ot the most denaely popidatod. Its westorn bonndnry Is the Bowory from Chatham sanaro to ltlvlngton street ltlvlne ton Is tho northern boundary to Norfolk, which Is tho oastorn boundnry to Division. Division forms tho fourth -bio of the ward, from Norfolk to Chatham square Grammar School No. 7 is at CO Chrystie street. It Is one of the oldest school buildings In tho city, having been orected nnd opened in 1K2B. In thntjear It is rjuite possible that the build ing stood In an open lot. but cow it Is almost surrounded by high tenement houses. Miss Amelia Sauer is thn principal of the primary department. She has sixteen classes with fourteen rooms to put thom in. Two classes are nccommodatod in tho assembly room, and nn elecant green curtain conceals one from tho view of tho other. Itlsijulto possible, how ever, for each class to hear the other recite when tho lessons are repeated In chorus. Ho great hns bocome tho demnnd for instruc tion in the district since tho building wns put up that It has beon nocessary to lease a dwell ing house adjoining. The rooms set apart for the primary clas-es are thorefore considerably scattered, and those In the unnox are. If possi ble, loss suited for school purposes than tbobo In tho ancient structure. In every room in tho primary department It Is necessary to u so gas at least a portion of tho time, and In most of them it is lighted every day. Tho ventilation is ot tbo crudest kind, and amounts to nothing at all. If windows aro openod they admit foul odors from tenement house areas; It kopt closed thore Is a speedy accumulation of enr bonic acid gas that Is unspeakably noxious. Tho seating capnclty of the rooms varies from 45 to (14. and tbo average attendance is within averyfewof the limit. In every room in tho department the children have less than half ot tho air space that experts agree upon as tho minimum allowance. Ihls is without tnklng account of tho rnpid consumption of oxygon by gas jots. Tho closets are nt the sldos ot the building, nnd hardly a day passes that the rooms are cot full of foul smells. Many attempts havo b -on made to remedy the drainage from the closets, but none havo been offectivo for more than a very brief period. Thore will be no help until Superintendent Dobevoiso's system of closets Is put In. and no real cure until the building Is destroyed and a bettor one erected. Twice each year tbo School Board makes out a classincntion ot tho schools Into twonty-one groups, varying in number from flvo to seven. A Commissioner is appointed to visit ouch group, as well as aepecillod list of corporate schools. Tho assignments are not only an nounced in the open meeting of the Board, but are neatly printed as a special documentwhen ever the assignments aro rearranged. This document is headed: Clajjlflcetinn of behoole nr Oroap for vttttatlon by e&ch ComtnU-loner between Jaly 1 and Dec. at. 1SM7. The data varies, of course, with every now assignment. The Commissioner whose name appears on the document, dated as above, on poslto Miss Sauor's school Is Edward J. H. Tamsen. His name docs not appoar upon Miss Bauer's record of visitors. Neither does that of Jacob D. Vermllye. tho Commissioner np- Sointed to look nfter her school from Jan. 1 to uly 1. 1R83. .Superintendent Jasper has not heen in the school this spring, or, as Miss Bauer said. " 8lnco the blizzard." At ICO Chrystie street Is Grammar School No. 20. Miss Annie Thompson Is the principal of the primary dopnrtment. The building was erected in 1856, and is hommed In on threo sides by high tenements. There aro nineteen classes there accommodated in seventeen rooms, nnd the green curtnln partition is a feature In tho assembly room ns described In Grammar School No. 7. Thero is not n claps room In the department that is not overcrow ded In n sanitary v ie w. but Miss Thompson hns been careful to kcop within the limits prencrlbed by tho law and tho Manual.

Tbo last timo Superintendent Jasper visited this school was on Jan. 14 1885. Commissioner Webb was assigned to visit It between July 1 nnd Doc. 31, 18rt7. but ho did not eet thero. Commissioner Gallaway. who Is down ns tho visitor for the current half your, has until tho SOth of this month to Inscribe his nnmo on Miss Thompson's register. Commissioner Dodge hns gone out of her way several times to visit the school, but excepting her visit no momborof the School Board lias boon thore to see for hlmsolf how it fared sinco March 5, 1489. Commissioner Dovoe honored himself by celling on thnt date. A particulaily Interesting school Is the pri mary department of Grammar School No. 42. at 3D Allen street. Miss Paulino E. Loss is the prin cipal, and under her supervision nre twenty eight classes, tucked nwny in twenty-six rooms nnd the curtain-partitioned iisreinbly room. Eight of theso classes nio In tho sixth grade, ana there nro four classos In each of thn other grades, Tho rooms are generally dark and very badly vontllatod, though comparatively few need gaslight. Tbo street Is narrow nnd noisy, and the Second avocuo elevated railroad passes through It, This nlono should mnko It advisable to purchase a new site. Tho elosots nro at tho side of the building, and though thoy are In fair condition, there Is oconMon.il trouble from them. For a wonder, there nro two rooms In which tho children ait at Indi vidual desks and on separate chairs. Thoso. called play room is a basement, where a gas jet Is kept burning to euublo the occupants to see their way. There Is nochnnco whatever for fresh nlr or recreation in It.
