CLEVELAND, UEYOND A
The o|«ening of the convention day finds
the clouds of political sensution clcuring
away, and it does not require the «iivine
gift of prophecy to predict the nomination
of Grover Cleveland on the first ballot.
Indeed, this result of the contest is gener-
ally conceded now, even by the frieuda of
Hill and Boies, the only two rivals of the
-President in the field to-duy, ulthougb
there is every indication that the cx-Presi

The selection of ox-Governor Isuuc P. Grav
of Indiana, as the running mate to
President Cleveland seemed probable last
night and this morning, but biter in the
«lay it transpired that Mr. Gray might have
some opposition where it was least ex
plored. There are various members of
tbo ludianu delegation, among whom are
be a number of leaders of the Cleve
land faction in the Hoosier titute, who are
opposed to the selection of Mr. Grav, and
'no would be disposed t«i construe his
ominatic
affront to the people
who have borne the brunt of buttle in the
Iloosiur State in behalf of Cleveland i

•ludianu'* favorite son. So it seems thut
the selection of Mr. Gray aa a means of in
snring the electoral vote of thut state for
the Democratic ticket might not after all
conduce with any certainty to the result
which is honed to lie attained, and the dis
cussion of tins peculiar situation in the
ier State hus caused the entire ques
o be opened up again.
The proverb that "politics makes strange
bedtcilows'' was never better illuotruted
than in this controversy over the Vice
presidency. The close of the day finds the
Cleveland {»copie of Indiana secretly allied
with the uiiti-Cleveland people fuction in
the attempt to prevent tl»o nomination of
Mr. Gray. The former are actuated by the
desire to prevent the ex-governor gaining
political supremacy in the state of ludiaua,
aud the latter are burning witli a desire
for revenge on tiie Grav people f«

Ex-Secretary Whitney was question«! as

During Ills visits we have cunvasswl the

he had
•oinpuuied Giles Lumbeon of the Wash
fisheries' department, who took out
u consignment of 2,&(J0,UU0 shad to be>
deposited in the Bear river, an affluent of
Suit hake. Tho shad fry were deposited
at a point Ö0 miles up-strenm, where the
intense salt ness of the great luko would !
not affect them. Dr. Shortlidge states )
ihut when the fish attain their growth
they find their way to the brackish water,
at the mouth of the river, and stay there
for three years. Then they migrate up
stream for Hpuwning purposes. Quite a
number of shad was caught this spring,
and enough has been shown to prove that'
the project of the government to propagate
shad in thut river is successful.
The party ruturned via Chicago. Dr.
Short huge paid a lengthened visit to the
Fisheries Building at tho World's Fair.
According to the fair catalogue it is 163x385)
