Short Senator SrooNEB of Wisconsin made a long speech In celebra tion of Uncle Jekemiaii Busk, and then the Convention adjourned until 11 o'olook this morning. The slow proceedings of the day were en livened by a speech from Mr. Chables Emobt Smith, who nominated a Mr. Fitleb, who Is said to have three hundred and slxty elx pairs of trousers and to bo Mayor of Philadelphia. It is not expected that Mr. Puled will lead on the first ballot to-day. William McKlnloy. There are some facts about this gentle- 1 man of great Interest this morning, and I ,- porhapeof greater Interest to-morrow. He has been in Congress for ten years, and ' -' has made hardly half a dozen set speeches. ; Hla very first act as a Representative was to present a petition from the Ohio manu- i facturers, asking Congress to take no action In the way of tariff revision until after a thorough Investigation of the needs of American labor and the condition of Amorl- j can Industries. He has never departed from the position then taken. j His very first speech was a strong plea for I protection. I t Nine-tenths of his shorter speeches have been on subjects connected with the tariff. I He possesses good nature, a sense of hu- I , mor. and a good oommand of simple and j ' forcible English. 1 '-, He voted for the Otvll Service Beform bllt ' He voted for the Holman resolution de- ' daring forfeited the unearned land grants to j , the subsidy railroads. He voted for the Bill to Restrict Chinese i Immigration In 1883, as well as for the sup- I plementary restrictive leglslatlon of 1881. Five other candidates whose names are , also before the Convention voted on the j Chinese Beetxictton blllt Senator Auuaos, ,' Benator Hajuusok, Senator Hawley, Beno- l tar Inoallb, and Benator Buebman. I Every candidate of tho five voted against a it, and therofore against the Interests of the h , Padflo coast MoKxn&by would have no explanations to make to the voters of California and Oregon. i i l ;' Tho Honorablo Canvass of the Honor- ' able John Sherman. I There Is no aspirant now In the field who I deserves more respect for political stralght- I forwardness than the Hon. John Shebuak I , of Ohio. We pay him the tribute of lmpar- tlal oommendatlon. John Bueeman carries ' on his bock a load of past Bin heavy enough -. to make strong legs stagger, but his be- , havlor In the present canvass has been ad- mlrable from the beginning. I ', This is Mr. Sherman's third appearance I In a National Republican Convention as a I , candidate for the nomination. He entered the Chicago Convention of 1880 with 93 votes, Gen. Oabtceld presenting his name. He bad 81 out of the ii votes of Ohio. Sher man held his own, with insignificant gains or losses, throughout thirty-five ballots, and, on the thirty-sixth, saw almost his entire following go over In a body to Gabpield. Bhsbman's greatest strength at any time during that protracted struggle was 119 votes. He did not get the nomination, but the union of his forces with Blaine's at the . thirty-sixth ballot defeated Grans and the third term. At Chicago in 1884 John Sherman's name was presented by Joseph Benson Fobaxbb. The balloting did not begin until Saturday, the fourth day of the Convention. On the i first ballot Sherman had 80 votes. Ohio ! gave him 25 of theso, the other 21 members ( of that delegation voting for Blaine. On the second ballot Sherman lost two of his Ohio supporters to Blaine, and on the third " ' , two more. On the fourth and last ballot the " rest of the Sherman vote went over to 1 v BXiAInx, and Blaine it was. Twice, therefore, before this Convention, John Sherman has gone Into the fight with half-hearted support from bis own State, and twlco he has been sacrificed by his own followers. His experience has been de 1 pressing rather than stimulating to political ambition. It has been enough to turn hope :' ful courage into oonflrmed pessimism, and .' to destroy whatever faith he may have poo- r se&sod In the political loyalty of others. ) But melancholy experience has not had ' that effect upon John Sherman. He was the first man to put himself squarely before ' tho party as a candidate for the nomination of 1888. In the preliminary oontest in Ohio last year, he worked with the patience, con f stanoy, and Industrious Ingenuity of a, beaver repairing it domicile after tho rav- ' ages of a destroying tide. The moglo name of BzuUNB has had no terrors for him. Yet be did not begin his operations until after he hod written to Mr. Blaine, Informing him that ho should not be a candidate If Blaine desired the nomination. And it was only upon Mr. Blaine's assurance that he was not In the field that the Sherman canvass be gan. He has wasted no strength In re proaches, has thrown away no opportunity, has indulged,, tA.BO;EoaMOSfr &M w& .a 1 r talking horses, has played no game of sham or double dealing. His canvass has been open, manly, honorable, self-respecting, and respectable from tho first The result is that John Sherman goes be fore this Convention ob the loading candi date at the start, with a voting strength probably more than twice that of 1880, and seven or eight times groator than in 1B31. Ho is fairly entitled to all that he has won, In this his third and last effort to obtain tho great honor which ho Is not ashamed to say he wants moro than anything else on earth. Whatever may be tho fortunes of tho day for John Sherman of Ohio, he desovers credit from tho disinterested for tho manliness and straightforwardness of his canvass, and wo think ho will get It The County Democracy. Meetings of tho Executive Commlttoo of the New York County Democracy have been held every afternoon during tho prosent week to preparo for tho ratification which that organization will give to the Domoorotlo national ticket on June 28, at tho Acad emy of Music. Following tho successful and onthuslostlo gathering of Tammany, which occurred at the same place last week, the leadors of tho County Democ racy understand that If tholr organization is to display in November the strength and following which they claim for it no effort must now bo rolaxed which will tend to put tho various districts In fighting trim, and to secure for tho Control Committee that gon eral corporation without which success In the county Is impossible. Tho County Domocraoy, as a faction of the Democratic party In the city of New York, owes Its existence, primarily, to the bolt whloh followed the nomination of Lucius Robinson for Govornor In 1879. Prior to that time, Tammany Hall had always hod the prestige of regularity, and tho nominees It put up constituted what was called tho straight ticket At the Syracuse Conven tion of 1879, howover, tho Tammany dolegatos abandoned their hitherto Impregnable posi tion, and, while agreeing to tho rest of tho ticket put up tholr own loader, John Kelly, for Govornor. The effect was to give tho opponents of Tammany Hall an opportunity whloh they had sought for during many years. Tho local election tumod out dlsad vantogeously to Tammany. Its leaders, John Kellt, Richard Choker, Henby A. Gumbleton, Frederick Smyth, John B. Hasein, and Richard Flannioan, wero among the defeated. Tho anti-Tammany Democrats, being now for the first time In a numerical majority, determined to organize themselves Into a compact party which would have some other guiding prin ciple than mero opposition to their former opponents of the Wigwam. Tho movement was guided by 6omo of the most experienced and skilful local politi cians, and their primary purposo was to secure a different sort of leadership, and a method of selecting delegates different from that which prevailed In Tammany Hall. The usage of the latter organization has been to call the Democrats of each Assem bly district to meet at a primary elec tion once a year for the purposo of choos ing members of a General Committee on a single ticket. The effect of this is neces sarily to maintain the cohesion of tho party by having a committee which repre sents no antagonistic views. The plan of tho County Democracy, on tho other hand, was and Is for each election dis trict In town there are now 856 to chooso separately ono member each of the Gen eral Committee. Another point of differ ence between tho two organizations was that whereas tho Tammany delegates were amenable for their authority to the whole General Commltteo, which had tho right to accept or reject any delegation, the County Democracy membera wero responsi ble only to tho voters of tho particular elec tion district which chose them. The first contest In which tho County Domocraoy participated as a soparato organ ization was that of 1831, when its candidate for Surrogate, Stephen A. Walker, now United States District Attornoy, received 43,451 votes against 46,914 for D. 0. Calvin, the nominee of Tammany and Irving Hall combined. In 1882 there was a union be tween tho Democratic factions. In 1883 they united on tho county ticket, but split on the local nominees. The fight was a close ono, and one of its fruits was tho notorious 1884 Board of Aldermen, in which the Re publicans had a larger representation than would havo been posslblo had the Demo crats been united. In 1834 there was an out right split between Tammany Hall and the County Democracy, and the latter organiza tion won its most memorable vlotory, elect ing William R. Graob over Hugh J. Grant by a majority of over 10,000, and securing Randolph B. Martine as Dlstrlot Attor ney, Edward V. Loew as Comptroller, and Adolph L. Sanger as President of the Board of Aldermen. Tho next year, 1885, the tables were turned, and Tammany elect ed Grant Sheriff, Flack County Clerk, Nooney President of the Board of Aldermen, and Henry W. Bookstaver Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. In 1880 and 1887, the Labor movement being a monaco to Dem ocratic succor, the two factions united; but tho recent broaklng up of the Henry Georob forces has revived tho probability of a tri angular fight in the election of this year. Tho County Domocraoy bos always had tho advantage of skilful and adroit leader ship. Hubert O. Thompson, William B. Grace, John Eeenan, and Maurice J. Poweb havo in turn been its chieftains, but under tho last named it has suffered no re verses, whilo it has kept its hold upon some of the most Important local offices. Among the offices filled by members of the County De mocracy organization oro tho following: VAyor, AlUH 8. Uiwitt. ComptrolUr, Teiodobe W, Mtiu. CommUiloner of Publlo Worn, Johh Nrrrtm. Comralulontr of Stret CUanlnr, JiXH 8. Couua Police CommUslouer, Joax R. Vooehii. Fire Ctmmtiiloner, Umn D, Pdrt. BzcUe CommUtlener, Wuuu B.

SaptrrUer of Cttmmnrt, Thouu Coinau. Besides those, the County Domocraoy baa three of the four Park Commissioners, six of the eleven Police Justices, a majority of the Board of Assessors, of the Board of Exclso, of the City Marshals, and tho Water Regis ter, Corporation Attornoy, and llvo of tiio eleven District Judges, Tammany having five and tho Republicans ono. This is a formidable array of places to be held by a slnglo organization, and it evinces a very keen and judicious management This man agement has also materially strengthened and sustained the Democratic column in the city of New York, and has been effective In absorbing much of the floating vote whloh hitherto went to the Republicans, so that it may be sold that slnco 1681 the Re publican party has bad in tho city of Now York no genuine hold In local affairs. Of the twenty-four district leadors who united In organizing the New York County Domocraoy, sixteen, or just two-thirds, are still active and Influential In Its counsels as jMdcxa, These aw'WAiH in tho Bwond, O'Reilly In the Third, Jonas In the Sixth, Ooopeb in the Seventh, Voonino in the Ninth, Mitchell In the Tenth, Ford lu the Eleventh, Keenan in the Twelfth, Daly In tho Fourtoenth, Costioan in tho FIftoenth, Power in the Sixteenth, MtrnnAY In tho Bovontconth, Kerwin in tho Twentieth, Kelso In tho Twonty-flrst White in tho Twonty-thlrd, and Purroy in tho Twenty fourth. Of those O'Reilly, Ford, Power, MnnnAY, and White, flvo of tho sixteen, nro Police Justices. Tho eight organizers of tho County Democracy who havo fallen from Its ranks arc Nicholas Muller, tho plethoric and good-natured capitalist of the First who went into tho Labor movo mont in 1880, stayed thero In 1887, and then withdrew from politics and moved to State n Island. His successor In tho First Is Col. M. 0. Murphy. A second scccder is tho fat Alderman of tho Seventh ward, TnoMAS Sheils, whose hold on tha political destinies of tho Fourth Assembly has not boon relaxed, ho being at this time tho lead ing spirit of tho influential Thomas Jofforson Association. During tho leadership of Hubert O. Thompson, who was at tho time of his death Now York's member of tho Democratlo Na tional Committee, tho guiding prlnolple of tho County Domocraoy was patronage, and it was said then that this organization had the cash whilo Tammany had tho principle. Slnco the advont of Maurice J. Power, which was signalized In tho Mayoralty can vass of 1886, political generalship has takon tho place of patronage as the chtof factor In County Domooracy strength. The prodi gious growth of the city population slnco 1880 In directions whloh did not enter into tho calculations of Tammany leadors prior to 1830 Hungarians, Italians, Bohemians, Rou manians, and Poles has been obsorved by tho County Domocrats, undor Judgo Power's direction, and as a conso quonce the larger part of these now voters havo Joined their fortunes to the County Domocraoy. Tho Gorman voters, oastlng as thoy do 40,000 votes, aro an Important eloment In tho local politics of Now York. Naturally Democrats, but res tive under tho trammols of organization,, unwilling to accopt the leadership of pro-' fessional politicians, but conscious of tholr ability and influence, the Germans of Now York, who hold. Indeed, the veritablo balance of power in municipal mattors, havo boon out adrift from the Republican party by Its high llccnso legislation, and Tammany, con scious of its great popular strength, has not thrown open Its doors to thorn. Tho County Democrats, on tho othor hand, havo mado every effort to securo this German support, and have succeeded. Tho politics of nlno out of the twenty-four Assombly districts Is controlled In groat measure by the floating German and German-American voters. Both In 1886 and In 1887 the County Do mocraoy and Tammany united on a munici pal ticket and consequently no safe estimate of the popularity and following of tho County Democracy In any of tho districts of Now York city has boon available Lost year, howover, ono local contest occurred. It was on the east side in wards Seven, Eleven, and Thirteen. John Henry Mc Carthy was tho Tammany candidate for Judge of the Clinton Street Court and his competitor was Henry M. Goldfoolb, County Democrat. This, In detail, was tho result of the vote: IHitrlct. McCarthy. CoUfoelt. Fourth. 4,601 2.7va RUth R47J 3.709 Twelfth , 3,094 fiftf rouruenttu sss 27a Totel. 10,785 11,073 County DemocrMr majority, 297. At no election hold In New York during many years have the interests involved been so Important as those to bo determined by tho voters in November. Not only Is a Mayor to be chosen, having almost unre stricted powers of appointment and romoval far in excess of those exercised by any of his predecessors, but a Sheriff, County Clerk, three Coroners, eight Congressmen, and other officers are to bo elected. A now Com missioner of Public Works will have tho dis pensing of the onormous patronage of that department, hitherto the great stronghold of tho County Democrats. Important as these places nro locally, the interest in those who ore to fill thom will be overshadowed by tho Presidential and State tickets to bo voted for on tho 6amo day. With overy present prospeot of an active and interesting trian gular fight the whole destiny of the Now York County Democracy as a municipal or ganization may bo said to depend on tho outcome of this momentous political battle. Bliss Dodge and tho Women Teachers. Miss Commissioner Dodoe shows by her formal statement to the Board of Education that In tho case of Miss Mason she acted with prudence and discretion. In waiting until now to correct the Impression that she proceeded Injudiciously and without due deliberation to follow up anonymous accu sations against the teacher, she has also exhibited a capacity for patience and self control very desirable In a public officer. As the letter to her from President Sim mons proves, what she did in the caso was done at his express request and consisted simply In referring such evidence as she had to the trustees of tho ward In which Miss Mason's school Is. It Booms that previously he had asked her and Mrs. Commissioner Aonew to investigate similar cases, but that they bad discreetly refused to Interfere, for undoubtedly women ore more liable than men to be ac cused of unfairness toward women charged with sexual Immorality. "A woman can manage a matter of this kind much bettor than a man," wrote President Simmons, who evidently wanted to get rid of a disagreeable job ; but her motives and her Judgments are much moro llkoly to be misconstrued, and, therefore, Mrs. Aonew and Miss Dodob wero wlso in refusing to bear the load he would havo shifted to their shouldors. It seems, too, that the only foundation for the story that Miss Docan had employed a detective to dog Miss Mason was that she asked Superintendent Jasper If detectlvos wore ever usod In such cases, and the ques tion was "simply for Information, not that I thought such moans should be omployod." Of course they could not bo omployod without the grossest injustice to tho women teachors, of whom thero aro 8,500 In tho schools. At the best evidence in Buch mat ters offored by professional detectives is open to grave suspicion, and it would be an Intolerable Insult to single out women teach ers for espionage from among all those In the publio service. Women, too, are much easier prey for scandalmongers than men, and the eager competition for theso places would uf course furnish constant material for the spies to work upon. If a woman of evil life gets Into a school, the word trustees ought soon to be able to find out her true character, without putting spies on her track; but even If she remains In her place undetected, It Is batter than that thousands of women, puro and blameless, should bo subjected to tho chnnco of being shadowod becauso of roallolous gossip, as it they were possible or aotuol criminals. As it is, from the very fact that they are In the publio employment and in places for which, there la always a great asd an aager demand, theso women teachers are kept under doss observation without detective holp, and propriety of behavior Is, therefore, moro than ordinarily necessary for them. Thoy Won't Have It. Moro than ono Democratlo Journal Is In clined to attach no slgnillcanoo to tho faot which The Sun hos pointed out cloarly, that tho Democratlo platform carefully refrains from endorstngspcclllcally tho particular fea tures of tho President's programmo j and their Judgment Is entitled to serious considera tion. Among tariff smashors ttio Indlanapo' lis tknttncl porhaps expresses this opinion with tho greatest precision : "Ton Boit uri tint the 81 Loult pUtform 'reoedei front the ipeolSo recommendation of free wool od free rw mtterlelt. It melee from the recommendation that the Internal rerenne ejitem be retained Intact. It recedee from the Idea that the whole $100,000,000 of re daction ihould he made In the direction of free trade.' " It doein't do aorthlni: of the eort On the contrary, br Ha eintloll endorsement of the rreitdent'a menace It declare! for free wool and free raw material!, for the retention of the Internal lull on whliker and tobacco, and for the redaction of the menu b the repeal of tariff dullee. " Tm Son la trylnt to eonrlnce lte reader! that tha St. Lonla ConrenUon straddled the tariff time." Certainly thore is no straddlo in tho plat form as explained by our Indiana contem porary. Tho Sentinel accepts tho message without qualification, and of courso It must bo prepared to stand tho consequences. A different journal, whoso Democracy burns with equal intensity, though with another color, tho Anniston Hot Blast, agrees with tho Hooslor organ: -The mi nlattlt Democratic paper. It teller!! In tha Democratic partr. but It believe! alto In protection. It rejolcei In the nomination of tho two men who bare been made the candidate! of the parte- for President and Vice Pretldent, bnt It deplore! the snwlidom of tho Conrentlon aa manifested In the adoption of a tariff for rerenue-onlr platform, and In the endoriement of the Mills bllL The effect of this acUon will, we fear, be aein tn the next Congressional oleollona. There aro close district! where the loss of a fewrotea will remit tn the election of Republtoan Conrressmea. We trnst this adoption of the Winis-io Idea ef plidrlna; the party to tariff reduction will not resnlt In deitrortnf the Democratlo majorlt7 In the Uoai! of BepreientaUTea." Thus our Alabama friend argues that the first really Intelligible lssuo of tho oanvass is Groveb Cleveland, and that sentiments vary oven about him. But tho noxt issue Is far greater, moro vital, more lasting, and that Is Domocraoy, for it Is over Cleve land's head that the flag of Democracy has been hoisted. Democracy Is greater than all; It Is the glory of humanity! Tho Republican platform Is more than twlco as long as the Demooratio olatfonn. Yet wo aro bound to say that thero will not be half as much misunderstanding as to what It really means. The sudden foray upon tho chairs and tools of tho streot bootblacks the other day was not tho right kind of thing. The poor fellows oucht to have boon warned to leave, not pounced on without notice or draceed to trial without tne propor forms. Wo aro pleased to see that 3Iavor Hewitt takes this view of tho matter, and disapproves of the spaBmodlo raldB that are reported from time to time. Bo has requested Gon. Newton, bofore enforcing tho ordinances against stroot encumbrances, to cause notice to bo served upon its violators, most or whom aro unaware that they have been guilty of any misdeed. This Is the fair and proper policy to adopt in the premises. FIro Alarm Foraker is as modest as he Is reticent Here is an oxample from one of his Convention speeches: " I do not know any moro than tht ttlur iUttntmUhtS gentleman nmDLxrof Kentucky did jut who he tho candidate win be." FoitAitxn is distinguished and is not ashamed to say bo. Yet, knowing as the country does his bhiBhlna shynoss of spirit, there will be genoral surprise that he should lift up his drooping and maidenly clance to gaze for a moment upon his own greatness while from somo unguarded nook of his majestic mouth slips out tho tromulous confession, " What a good boy am 1 1" Joet B. Is devilish shy. It was a bright lad of 10 years of age who died as a sulcldo yesterday morning. The vender of the fatal drug is not free from re sponsibility in tbo case. There is too muoh carelessness in the sale of poisons. Lot tho beaten racers at Chicago rejoice. They will bo relieved from 135 days and nights of racking anxioty. Thoy will be saved from tho necessity of depleting theirsurplusrovonue In tho campaign. They will bo relieved from the reading of thousands of newspapers that praiee thom or abuse them. They will be able to avoid tho badcoring of politicians and the appeals of beggars. They will be able to make money by minding their own business. They will onjoy tho happiness of knowing for sure that they are not to be boaton at the pells in the eleotion on the 4th of next Novombor. , In view of these things they can all afford to raise a cock-a-doodle-doo at the sight of tholr suc cessful rival At this year's commencement of the Massachsetts Agricultural College four prizes for excellence in declamation were awardod. What a help to the practical young farmer tho ability to "speak" "Aye, tear her tattered enslen down," or "Blaze with your serried columns" will be, and what admirable institu tions are agricultural collegos for educating export tiller of the soli Tho applauso which greeted the mention of Flannaoan's name in the Chicago Conven tion shows that the famo which hs achieved in 1880 is likely to ondure. Flannaoan's memor able query. "What are we hare for. If it is not for the ofuceir" could bo answered now as then by the simple reply, " Nothing." But the situation has materially changed for tho Re publicans. Then it was merely a matter of re tention; now tho question is how to regain possession. Candidate Belva Lookwood says that If olected she would "dismiss the armies and rule by love." But Lovo is already commandor-in-chlet of tho army and tho navy and head of the civil sorvico and mastor of all sorts and conditions of men. It will be interesting, how ever, to see Mrs. Locxwood addressing man kind from the platform laid down years ago by Mr. Samuel Taylor Coleohkie: " Love rails the court, the camp, tho (reve, And min bolow, and saints abova. " It was but a small specimen of a stroot row with which Chlcaco entertained tha Re publican Contention yesterday. But tbowhole city was in a hubbub, scorched by the hot blast, inflamed by the burning alcohol, Merited by the contests of tho rival politicians, and dis tracted by tho yells of the not er endins pro cobslona of boomers. It has been a carnival week for Chicago. That Oldest Inhabltantof tho deep, the sea sorpent, is last reported two hundred miles cant of Boston. Tim mariner who sawhlm has a logical mind. " I distinctly saw," buys this sailor man, "a rough, scaly skin that could tare belonged to nothing else than a tea lerpenl." This seems to prove the existence of the ser pent of the mariues. Scoffers pleaeo notice. It is clear from tho condition of the B. a's skin that be has been at sea too long, and is begin ning to feel the need of lime juioe and fresh provisions. Bnt ha will make a mistake if he puts in ut Boston. There is nothing to eat thero, and besides, ho out-lit to respect tha sensibilities of tho Boston Lancers and the Ancient and Honorable Artillery. The Blaine screamers at Chicago have been showing their deep disappointment, and even their displeasure, on aooount of his us axpMUd attitude. tJoaa f tbaa axe highly jlnconsedat it, and othors foel at thoueh he had been guilty of wronging them by chilling their enthusiasm. It It all very grlovous to a calm observer at a dlstanco. And yot it would seem to bo a fact that a free and independent citizen of the United States may, without giv ing propor oauao of offonco to anybodr, refuse to run as a candidate for tho oflloo of President.

All the candidates exoopt Blaine have boon placod In nomination, and the roll call has ended. Tho Convention has adjourned until U o'clock to-morrow without i entering upon n ballot There was no trouble over the platform. Major McKlnloy marched to the platform and road it In a clear, resonant volco. Ho was enthusiastically cheered. As predict ed, It is a strong protective platform, advocat ing the ropoal of tho Internal rovonuo laws, nnd filled with platitudes calculated to catch tho votes of tho worklngmen oud Amorioan citizens of foreign descent Liko tho Demo emtio platform at St, Louis, it was adopted by tho Convention without a whimper of dissent Tho most of the nominating speeches wero dreary. Homo of them wero pointless nnd plthlea-j. Frank Hiscock presented Mr.Dopew's name lu a masterly mnnnor. Mr. Dopow was nbsont Frank noer appeared to better ad vantngo. Ho was the handsomest and most dldnlllod spoakor of tbo day. ni volco was distinctly hoard In every part of the vast build Ing. and thero ere no calls of " tlmo " on him. Tho bost presentation of the name of n candi date was Hint of tho nnmo of John Shorman. Gen.

As ho walked to the platform an immonso floral shlold waB displayed bear ing tho words: "No robol flags surrendered while I am Governor." It looked like an nrtfnl attempt to croato a boom for tho Governor himself. It was a practical waiving of tho bloody shirt and it created a great furore. Fornkor talkod oxcoedlnuly well, but ho hardly treated tho othor candidates with courtesy. His remarks concerning thom certainly did 8horman no good. Somo are so uncharitable as to assort that tho Govornor made thom for tho deliberate purpose of Injuring his candidate, Tho objeot, of course, would bo to prepare the way for tho entrance of ouo of the dark horses in Ohio. Tho Govornor took a vthock at Gen. AlKorvihon he paid: "Nominate John Bhor man and you neod not waste anytime on blo graphlcel sketches." Ho broke out a second time, saying: "I havon't hoard any breezos wafting sighs for John Shorman's nomination, ns is tho caso with another gentleman." Fora ker also made a wipe at Cbauncey Dopow bo causo he was switched Into tho Greeley move mont in 1S72.

H wound up his oration by an allu sion to tho American flag as an emblem of tho Republican party in opposition to the old ban danna. Itwat donesonoatly as to carry the entire Convention from Its feet In pntriotlo ferver. Tho most of the delogatos waved their fine handkerchiefs, and thore was an old-time thirlwlnd. Littlo flags were tlod to tho gui dons of tho States, open umbrellas draped in fines wore shown, and Mrs. Forakor nnd a lady nt her side produced n novel effect by opening whlto silk parasols decorntodwith littlo flacs and twirling thom around like pln whcels. Tho demonstration lasted twelve mlnutos. "Marching throuch Georgln" was sung, and the whole thine was artfully turned into a Sherman demonstration. John W. Langston, a colored mon, who had the courage to uso tha word "neero" when spaklng of his raoe, also made an ojccellent speech on behalf of John Sherman. Ho was followed by John C. Dareoy. a genuine Ethi opian from North Carolina. Sonotor Spooner of Wlfconsln presented tho name of Jerry Rusk, nnd Charles Emory Smith put tho littlo Fitlor boom upon its feet Mr. Hepburn of Iowa mado an earnost appeal on behalf of Mr. Allison. Gov. Porter of Indiana nominated Mr. narrison, and Leonard Swett Abraham Lincoln's old law partner, named Gon. Groshnm. Swott resembled Abraham Lincoln in feature, but thore the resemblance ended. Tho speoch was commonplace, and seemed to be a disap pointment to tho frionds of Gen. Grosham. Gen. Hawloy was placed in nomination, and that was all. Thore was no speech, nnd tho nomination wns unseconded. Tho spread-eaclo speech of the day was mado by Frank S. Davis of Minnesota, who seconded Grosbam's nomination. Ho yanked the feath ers out of the great American bird and tossed tho body In the air. He called President Cleve land "a monstrous Jueeernaut, who sits serene in innocuous desuetude." John R. Lynch, the colored orator front Mississippi, also seconded Grebham's nomination. Mr. Lynch was dressed very much like a dudo, and did not look llko tho Lynch who sent Powell Clayton to the rear four years aco. He lookod moro liko a dandy clork thnn a man worth $250,000. These wore the only speoches really worth montlonlng. The addrcssos and tho enthusi asm lacked tho vim and onercy dlsplayod at tho Democratic Convention bold in St. Louis. This Is n night of combination. Such shrewd politician as John C. New. Sam Fessendon, Matt Quay, Judgo Ilobertson, Cen. Mnhone, John Wise, Goorso V. Hoar, Jacob Galllncer, Gon. Henderson of Iowa, William Walter Phelps, and others have disappeared from sight, and the fruits ot their manipulations will bo seen to-morrow. Tbora was no great dis play of Blaine feellne in tho Convention to day. It may liae boon repressed by order of the Blaine managers, and It may have been that tho outsido Blalno delegations wero ex cludod from the gnllory. Ono thine is certain, Blalno's nrdent friends have not yot given up the doadlock scheme It looks as thongh they wore workinc to tiro out the Convention in fruitless ballots, and to spring the man from Mnlne upon tho delogatos us a last resort This is their declared purpose.

Tho horse H was ono for which Mr. Elliott had it strong at- H foctlon, and during the latter pnrt of his life he . did ovorythlng for the comfort of tho need nnl- M tnal. On one remarkably oold day Mr. Elliott brought out a palrof bis own trousers, and at- I tor considerable work sucocedod lu dtnwing H them on to tho hind lege of hla horse, and tying H them with strings. The horso was found In hla I stall thus clothed by Mr. Elliott's son-in-law. In order that the clause of tho will might be faithfully carried out, Mr. Soper hired a neigh bor. Itoawell W.

About four weeks ago Welllnaton got the horse nnd also his Si, nnd Exocutor Honor felt that ho had carried out tbo wishes of Mr. Elliott, Ho was somewhat surprised to be In formed nt tho vlllnco post oflloo, one ovonlna last week, that the horse, which ho supposed dead, wns bolng drlxon nbout tho streets ot Mlddlotnwn.

Tho lot Is a large ono, pasture land, covered with underbrush and small hillocks, so that a search for tho carcass was dllBoult and at tbo same tlmo unsuccessful.

I The Prohibitionists will soon hold their Stat Conre Hon, and they will then begin with renewed seal their ' condlot aitalnst rum and the Republican party. Then Is somethlm la tbe Prohibition mind that always Joual ( the rum power and the Republican party. Perhaps tha alliteration It attractive. The Prohibition leaders claim M that they will poll from 60,000 to 75.000 votes in the "V? State or Kew York this fall, and their ratio el lncreaa i for the past four yaara would warrant a claim of ever ' so,ooo If the rrehlblUonltts poll 60,000 votes, the Republicans will lose 40,000 of them. Republi cans seem to Incline more to htfh license, to the abolition of tbe Internal revenne tax an whiskey, than Democrats, and at tbe sam time none ot them era Prohibitionists, though the Prohibitionist denouno Me h license a belnt worie than free rum. An example of (he worklnn ot practical prohibition la Iowa in the Interior of the State, where the towns ara not large no liquor la sold at retail thonih the farmer ' wbe want It keep It In bottles and keits. alon the Mis souri and Mlssleslppl rivers, the western and eastern boundarle of the State, tbe law is disregarded almost as It It did not exist In Council Bin He. opposite Omaha, and tn Davenport, across the Mississippi from Itook Island, liquor Is sold aa openly and freely a in New York. The dlulnir ears of some ef the railroad! do net sell anything Intoxicating, hut on can step across th track and find aaloon after saloon with open doora. In Davenport there are some S00 saloons. The Town Council licenses them, and a fee ef t2i a quarter is paid to the town. In return for which a town license la Is sued. The town licenses ara cnrloua reading consider ing the stringent term! of th prohibition law. Th license antborlr.ee the holder "to do business." Another Ucense In equally mild-mannered term permit him 'to sell liquors not prohibited by law.1' Another form ' Is "alloenset sell non-lnuxlcatlng beverage." Un der theie permit! all ordinary drink! are sold la th same manner aa It there war no prohibition, sad th liquor tellers are practically unmolested. The reason far the absence ot molestation la that Ot buslnes men, especially the small ewrekeepen and tradesmen, encourage the sale of liquor. The towne on the Mississippi have towns In Illinois across th river, and the towns on tbe af Jssearl mr eppoeed by tewaeim the other bank In Nebraska, There ara many bridges, and the Iowa farmer on the river frenc can eroaa to Illinois and Kebraaka without much trouble. It was . found that If no liquor was sold tn an towa th farmers I would drive to another town wher liquor was sold. ' The rivalry between Western town would not aUowof any such thlag aa hampered competition. When tbe saloon keepers ot Davenport vera going to close, la obedience to tho Prohibition taw, tlier were requeitad by th storekeepers and business men to keep open, and prevent the Iowa trade from crossing the river to Book Island In Illinois. It was th same way In Council Il!uf? where the farmers would have driven to Omaha, and In ather near towns In like manner. Council Bluff ' has gone further than Davenport In Its rivalry with out side towns, for, besides keeping Its saloons oeen, tt sneauragee big gambling honses which will draw Ke braskans with cash capital from Omaha to drop tha sam In th (ash game at Council Huff. Though the saloon keetxrs seem to profit by this kind 1 of prohibition, tbe best class at them prefer lo tell nnder a high license law. With high license there would be fewer saloon keepers than with prohibition and titer would be less competition. The saloon keepero that paid the license fee would have a monopoly ef thebosl nsss, and they wauld make more out of th monopoly than the license would cost rn Minnesota, riUnots, and other Western high license States, the saloon keeper ar better satisfied than In Kew York. There are fewer of them. There Is leta competition and they make mora money. As many of the saloon keepers feel able to pay a thousand dollar license fee, and as they think that such a license would freeze out the majority of th other dealers, the strongest high license feeuar In pro hibited States Is among th aalooa keepers.

There is a hotel In Philadelphia frequented by Repub lican politicians that keeps Ha clocks from five to ten minutes fast That enables alt the gtesia to have a few ' minutes' margin in catching trains, and it seemingly makes the hotel ooache travel at a rapid spsed.
