Who Im liiies lteiiomluiilioii tt the ullon
nl I ongress.
Was born in Westford, Vermont, November
181fl. His early education was obtained in
such district schools as the time and region in
which lie lived ailbrded. At the age of 12 ho
was au errand boy, hostler and clerk for a vil
lage merchant, and while thus employed learn
ed to write and acquired tho rudimentary
knowledge of business. He then assisted his
father four years on the farm and as a house
carpenter. At the age of 17 he entered nn acad
emy and remained live months and this "fin
ished" his schooling. When 13 years old lie
left his home to seek his fortune in the busy
walks of life. He took with him a spare shirt
and stockings tied up in a handkerchief, and
went to. the neighboring village of Morristown.
There ho taught a district school during the
winter and in the spring began the study of
law, and after due time was admitted to the
bar. He was register of probate of Lawrence
county in 1830-10; was a member of the state
constitutional convention of Vermont ; was
prosecuting attorney in 1S44-4.1 ; was judge of
the supreme court of Vermont from 1818 to
18G,'), and in 18C0 was made chief justice.
Th3 mental qualities and traits of character,
the exercise and development of which had
raised their possessor so rapidly to his high
standing as a lawyer, marked and distinguished
him as a judge. With a mind of great native
strength, quick in its perceptions, rapid in its
operations, given to reasoning by a practical,
direct and forcih'c logic, he easily and with a
sort of spontaneous gracefulness addressed
himself to judicial duties in a manner which
showed that in making him judge the state had
.if fho virht. mnn in the riL'ht TlljU'C." Nona
have held that position in Vermont who more !
etteetively, upnguny, ana acceptaoiy nave nun.
istered in the dibpensinc of justice nercniW tc
t1? rr'r,r;
' Inn. With
possessed placidity and tteliberateness of 'man
ner that never faned him, with a fortitude and
firmness that were strangers to fear or waver
ing, he was at the same time courteous, com
plaisant and kind, so that while the most service-hardened,
coniident and captious member
of the bar yielded in ditfcrtntiul subordination
to the power above them, the most inexperi
enced and diffident were inspired with courage
and confidence in their efforts to do profession
al service in the courts over which Judge Po
land presided.
As judge in the supreme court sitting in bank,
his adaptedness to the place was equally mani
fest. His mastery of the principles of law, his
discriminating apprehension ot the principles
involved in the specific case, his facility in de
veloping by logical processes and practical il
lustrations the proper applications and results
of those principles, are very strikingly, evinced
in the judicial opinions drawn up by him con
tained in the Vermont reports, llis memory
of cases in which particular points have been
decided, is extraordinary ; and this memory is
accompanied by a very full and accurate ap
prehension of the very points and grounds
and reasons of the judgment. Some of the
cases in which he drew the opinion of tho
court, stand forth as leading cases, and his
treatment of the subjects involved ranks with
the best specimens of judicial disquisition.
Since leaving the bench Judge Poland has en
gaged somewhat in the practice of law appear
ing in important cases in the state and United
States courts, both at home and in Washington.
He has, however, devoted himself more espec
ially to politics. At the outset of his profes
sional career ho developed a taste for politics,
and soon became an influential member and lo
cal leader of the Democratic party. When
the free-soil wing of the Democracy took
oien ground in 1848 he was Its candidate lieutenant-governor
of the state. On lieing elected
judge he withdrew from active participation in
party politics. Since the organization of the
Republican party he has been one of the most
sincere and unwavering of its momlicrs.
In 1861 he received the degree of doctor of
laws from the university of Vermont; was ap
pointed to the United States senate to till the
vacancy occasioned by the death of Jacob Col
lainer ; was elected to the forf cth and forty-first
congress, and was re-elected to the forty-second
congress as a Republican, receiving 10,471) votes
against 3,206 votes for L S Partridge, Democrat,
lie was re-elected to the lorty-third congress
and has served most of the time since and has
just declined a congressional renomination.
Judge Poland has figured conspicuously in his
congressional career as chaiinian of several im
portant committees among others the commit
tee on Ku-Kluxism, the committee on the Cred
it Mobilter investigation, the committee on tho
question of the "Arkansus governorship" un
der Grant's adminstration. In all these he was
chairman and discharged the dillicult duties
devolving upon him with great sagacity and
tact. Ho was known by both parties iu con
gress to lie judiciously fair and has never been
carried away by partisanship in any of his du
ties. We are indebted toD A Clifford, St Johnsbn

LARGE 6ATHERIK8 OF THE
HOST AT CHICAGO.
Benjamin F. Butler's Entrance
Hissed by the Spectators.
KE WITHDRAWS FROM
THE' CONTEST.
Cleveland's Name Receives
Enthusiastic Applause.
The national Democratic convention opened
at Chicago Tuesday. A temporary organiza
tion was cffccUd by the choico of cx-Gov R B
Hubbard of Texas as chairman, with the usual
number of secretaries and other omeers. The
adoption of rules of order and the appointment
of committees on credentials, permanent or
ganization and resolutions occupied the greater
part of the day. The session was taken up i:t
a contest over the unit rule inaugurated by the
Tammany delegation from New York, who, be
ing in the minority, wanted the rule abrogated.
The rule was sustained by a large majority,
and Tammany thus suffered its second defeat.
Tho convention was called to order at 12 :10 p
m, prayer was offered by Rev Dr D C Marquis
of the Northwest Theological seminary, after
which Gov Hubbard of Texas was introduced
as temporary chairman and was received with
hearty applause. Ho is a tall, fine looking
man of the respectable weight of 300 pounds.
Ho stands fully six feet high and has iron gray
hair and whiskers. Ht is a native of Georgia,
but has resided in Texas for 32 years. In 183
he was elected lieutenant-governor, and was re
elected with Cook, who ran for United States
senator in 1870. Gov Hubbard is a successful
lawyer and for years was tho attorney of the
Texas Taciiic railroad. Ho now has the legal
affairs of the St Louis narrow gauge railroad
in charge. Gov Hubbard resides in Tyler. He
is an eloquent speaker and good parliamentari
an. Tho temporary chairman's sonorous voice
and crisp, deliberate articulation sent every syl
lable of his opening address to the furthermost
limits of the great hall, and he was applauded
and cheered ut nearly every period. Gov Hub
bard's reference to the campaign of 76 and Til
den and Hendricks, roused the convention to a
high pitch of enthusiasm, and the delegates, ris
ing to their feet, cheered themselves hoarse.
All the prelimimnrv action of the convention
proceeded as harmoniously as well-oiled clock
work until Senator Grady of New York placed
an obstacle in the cogwheels in the form of an
amendment to the national committe's report
looking to the abrogation of the unit rule. That
semblage was indicated by the rigorous hisses,
tho reading of the amendment, and the heart

made by Judge Fellows, John Kelly s old time
opponent, uraay mauo iiu (,"""

attention. The dobato bv other delegates which
followed was marked by not very brilliant dis
plays of oratory, and most of it was listened to
in an impatient spirit. It was frequently in
terrupted by the raising of points of order and
parliamentay questions, aud the chalrmanJs
skill as a presiding officer was severely tested.
He proved equal to the occasion, however, and
disentangled involved points, brought order out
of chaos and guided business with unerring ac
curacy. When it came to voting there was
much confusion, but immediately the call of
states began there was silence, only broken by
occasional applause as the voto of a delegation
was cast in an unexpected direction. It had
been evident from the tone and behavior of the
convention that the Tammany attack on the
unit rule would be repulsed, and tho result of
the vote which defeated Senator Grady's amend
ment was therefore no surprise, but there was
much curiosity as to how the several states
would vote. Nearly every delegation was split
on the question. When New York was called
in regular order, a request was made and
granted that it be passed until after the others
had voted In the interval much excited dis
cussion appeared to be going on in the delega
tion. Chairman Manning, when the time came,
finding, as was of course expected, the "nays'"
in the majority, declared the vote as unanimous
in the negative. This was the signal for a
storm of indignant protests from the anti-Cleveland
delegates, but they were not heeded by the
presiding ollicer or the convention. The secre
taries made an error of some hundred votes in
casting the ballot, and tho formal announce
ment was manifestly erroneous to all who had
noted its progress, but it was beyond a question
that the amendment was lost, and the hall rang
with hcartv cheers. The origiual resolution,
adopting the rules of the last convention, wab
carried without a dissenting vote, ana thence
forward to the end of the session there wa
nothing to disturb the harmony of the pre
ceedings.
The Second Day's Sesfclou
lasted 6 hours. Tho committee on credenti:.:)
reported, and their liciug no contests, tho rcpi i t
was adopted, together with a proposition to
give the territorial delegates the right to vote in
the convention. Col William Vilas of V is
consin was made permanent president of ;he
convention. The committee on platform not
being ready to report, an effort was mad by
the Cleveland men to proceed at once to the
nomination of president and vice-presi ent.
This was antagonized by the onposith i to
Cleveland, and a parliamentary struggle e: ,ued
resulting in the adoption of a proposition t pro
ceed to a call of the roll of states for namin can
didates for president, with a provision t .at no
ballots Ehali be taken until nftcr the pi -form
shall have been adopted. Bayard ot De "ware,
McDonald of Indiana, Tliurman of Ohi . Car
lisle of Kentucky and Cleveland of Ne York
were placed in nomination, and, shortl; after fl
o'clock, the convention adjourned ti 10:30
o'clock Thursday morning.
OES HVTl.F.n HISSt:l V HI'KCTAT' L.
Gen Butler did not arrive until the p manent
chairman was in the midst of his ech and
the convention was in perfect order. Then he
made what was evidently intended tc a very
impressive entrance, leaning on the .m of Col
l'lympton. Ho was quickly recog izcd, and
there was some cheering, hut thee .erg were
smothered in a storm of hisses ar : whistles.
The affair was not at aU dramatic, a ' the gener
al was evidently much annoyed, for .e remained
but a short time. His exit was n :de in com
pany with Col l'lympton, and the kisses were
even more energetic than when he came in. It
was a notable fact that the convention proper
took no part in this adverse demonstration, the
hissing all coming from the spectntors. It is
said the general expressed a great deal of indig
nation, on his return to the hotel, at the manner
In which he was received.
The opening proceedings of the session were
devoid of interest. A flood of resolutions on all
sorts of topic were introduced, and referred
nnder the rule, without deltate. to the appropri
ate committees, who will quietly pntmostof
them in the waste basket. There was no stir
over the report of the committee on permanent
organization and Col Vilas' election to the per
manent chairmanship cansed scarcely a ripple,
but when "the tail of the oM ticket" was ap
pointed at the bead of the committee to escort
the colonel to the chair, there was a tremendous
Hendricks boom. The new chairman is a tall,
well built man, of almut 40 rears, with thin
black hair and thick brown heard, close cnt to
the lines of his jaws. He wears spectacles, and,
altogether, looks like the prospemna lawyer he
U. He w as colonel of the 2Sth Wisconsin regi
ment during the war, and now lives at SI ad won,
the state capital. He has served trx years in
toe state assembly, one fn each Iwanch. His
debut as an orator was made at tho reunion of
tho army ot me jchih-oow, invumo u. u
Grant's return in 187J. '
Tho proceedings quickly took an interest
when the resolution to proceed to call the roll of
states for the nomiiiatftop candidates for the
first place on the tickVlSras introduced. This
was a Cleveland litfaffftq, and the opposition
immediately liegan to'wago war upon it. Vari
ous filibustering moves were made. Tho vote
was in some respects n test vote. Tito ballot
proceeded undisturbed until New York was
called, and Chairman JJtmning announced " 72
nays." There was a great cheer from tho gal
leries, and then Senator Grady aroso and ex
citedly challenged the count. He was cheered
and hissed, and for a few moments tho specta
tors ran the convention. The chairman proved
himself a resolute presiding officer, however,
and, after securing silence, hushed the disturb
ers with a few scathing sentences, which were
cheered. Grady's protest was not heeded, arid
the chair, later on, decided that the New York
delegation must abide by tho unit rule, as in
structed by the state convention. Tho roll call
having been completed, several states reported
changes in their votes, and the rosult of the
ballot was announced to be 282 yeas and 021
nays. The motion was therefore declared lost,
amid a storm of cheers from all parts of the
hall. The resolution was then amended by a
provision that no vote for candidates Bhall bo
taken until alter the platform is adopted by a
viva voce vote. All sorts of filibustering tactics
were then adopted to secure delay, but they
did not avail.
OOV CLEVEtAWJ I'UKSEXTED.
When the stato of New York was called,
there was a good deal of cheering" and waving
of hats and handkerchiefs on the part, princi
pally, of the spectators in tho galleries. At
3 :u5 o'clock Mr Locitwood, of New York, came
to the pkitfonn to put in nomination Gov
Cleveland. Ho said that the responsibility
which lie felt was made greater when he remem
bered that the richest pages of American his
tory had been made tip from the records of
Democratic administrations, and remembered
that the outrage of 1876 was still unavenged.
No man had a greater respect than he for the
honored names presented to the convention,
but the world was moving, and new men, who
had participated but little in politics, were com
ing to the front. Cheers. Threo years ago
he had tho honor, in tho city of BufHilo, to pre
sent the name of the same gentleman for the
Qlltce of mayor. Without hesitation, the name
of Grover Cleveland had been accepted as a
candidate. Applause in tho galleries and
from portions of the delegations. The result
of the election and of the holding of that office
was that in iess than nine months the state of
New York Ibund itself in a position to want
such a candidate, and when, m tho convention
of 1882, his name as presented for tho office
cf Governor of tho state of New York, the
seme class of people knew that that meant
honest government ; that it meant pure govern
ment ; that it meant Democratic government,
and it was ratified. Applause.! Now the
Democratic state of New York came and asked I
that there be given to tho Independent and
Democratic yoters of the country, tho young
men of the country, tho new blood of the coun
try, the name of Grover Cleveland. Cheers.
The nomination of Cleveland was seconded
by Messrs Ilarritonof Illinois, aud Jones, of
Minnesota.
Mr Apgar, of New York, in speaking in favor
of Cleveland said:
As Tilden was nominated to tho presidency
because hi two years as governor had com
mended him to tho people of the whole United
States, such is Gov Cleveland's situation. For
more than 12 years tip balance of power in the
state of New York f been held by a large un
attached vote wh f h'ligs to neither political
organizations, 'ftiav? in the state probably
about 600,0 $ jw v-hr, JiiU vote the Demo
cratic tteket, h6-ufeV',wj3m you may nomi

vote ttie'ltufnihlifS i-tkof itruler any and all
circumstances. Notvl outside of both these
organizations there ire 100,000 men in the
state of New York wlio doTiot care a snap of
their finger whether tlie Democratic party or
Republican party, as such, shall carry the elec
tion They vote in every election, according to
the issues and candidates presented. These
men actually hold the control of the politics of
New York in their hands. You must have
their votes or you cannot win. Every time f.or
20 years past when we have appealed to this el
ement victory has perched upon our banners.
When we have failed to do so defeat has come.
These men unitedly, to a man, implore this
convention, with the vast majority of the Dem
ocratic pajity presented by the delegated of the
Democratic party in this convention, to nomi
nate for t!to ofilce of president Gov Tildcn's
sucressor, elected governor for thesamo reason.
They ask you to place him in nomination in or
der that all tho elements opposed to a longer
continuance of the Republican party in power
may be united and' make its defeat entirely
certain. Loud applause.
111TI.E11 WITHD1UWX.
Although it is gencfttlly understood that But
ler has withdrawn from the fight in favor of
llayard, tho fact still remains that he has never
Given up the idea that, somehow or other, the
nomination would come his way, the idea of
his managers bring to wait until the two lead
;ng contestants exhaust their strength in ham
mering each other, and that then he will come

the prize. It is very evident that if Cleveland
is nominated Butler will bolt. Whether he
means to run on an independent ticket is still
an open question, but his ideas were foreshad
owed by a remark made to one of the commit
tee to resolutions, that if Cleveland was nomi
nated, tho resolution committee would have its
labor for its pains ; that Cleveland never could
be elected. He also remarked to the sume gen
tleman, alter he had been to the. convention,
that he was afraid titer would nominate him,
for which reason he nut out of the convention.

ture ol government monies. Tne nomination

there could be no contention over the name of
Randall. During his remarks, Abbot men
tioned Cleveland, when enthusiastic applause
broke out which lasted for some time. He
said that even if there was nnity in New

acceptable candidate on that score.

ABOVE THE CLOUDS.
rrofesHor Gi'imlpy's Balloon Voyage From
Vermont to Montreal Senetitions Jx
ncriencad. From the New York Ilcrald.j
Professor Grimley has just succeeded in per
forming i balloon voyage from Montpelier, Vt,
to Montreal, making one stop only, in company
with Messrs Charles A Owler, D G B Walton.
According to tho professor's story, ho left
Montpelier on Friday evening, and after nearly
deluging a lady and gentleman and their car
riage with sand they arose at the rate of 1,000
feet per minute, until they were over two miles
from the earth. At a quarter past six they
were over Mount Hunger and nearly twelve
thousand feet high. Lofty mountains were
passed, the grandest of them, the Mansfield,
.whiff) waf suddenly shut out from thair riew
by the hugh bank of clouds at least a mile and
a half below the baloon. As the party passed
over Stowo, Morrisville, Johnson, Hyde Park
and other places the altitude reached was 14,800
and there was no coolness of the atmosphere.
Buzzing In the ears and deafness was exper
ienced, however.
AGAIN TO EAltTH.
At seven o'clock they were descending and
soon were so close to the earth that the drag
rope was chased by a score of persons. One
man caught the rope, and soon tho party de
scended and found themselves in the village of
Watcrville.
At twenty-five minutes to eight tho balloon
again darted upward, swooping past a moun
tain and on toward Lake Champlain, over
which they crossed at the height of 4,000 feet.
It was nearly dark when thev passed over Lake
Champluin and soon afterward they crossed the
Canadian border and were talking French
with Canadian farmers. After this they
were told that they were heading directly for
Montreal.
Their speed was tremendous, but above tho
roar of the Lachine rapids they could hear the
drag rope splash iis way along. Soon they
were smashing tho tops of trees and afterward
landed in a potato patch. Here the storm over
took them and all were drenched. They were
finally driven in a cab to shelter and Monday
were able to present themselves in public. They
left for homo by the evening train.
tho great pivotal stato of Now York. With
unity and harmony in tho Democratic ranks
he sees no reason to doubt the ability of tho
Domocracy to carry New York, New Jersey,
and Connecticut, and thinks there Is a good
flithting chanco in Massachusetts. Vermont of
course is rock-ribbed in the Republican faith
though this time it will give a reduced ma
jority. Samuel J Tilden has again declined the pres
idential nomination. In response to a letter
from Mr Barnum, chairman Of tho Democratic
national committee, Inquiring if ho would con
sent to run if unanimously nominated, Mr Til
den wrote : I have received your telegram In
forming me of a disposition to nominate me for
tho presidency and asking, will you accept a
unanimous nomination from the convention ?
and also telegram from Mr Manning, saying it
seems absolutely necessarythat you I should
answer Barntim's telegram as soon as possible.'
Your Inquiry was explicitly answered in the
negative by my letter of June 10 to Mr Man
ning. There is a great dal of loose talk around the
Congressional headquarters about the future
plans of the Republicans. It io the opinion of
a number of tho Republican leaders that it
would be advisable to send speakers into the
south and make a contest to carry such states
as Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and
Florida. It has been even said that Mr Blaino
himself would try the experiment of going on
tho stump In these states. All this tnlk about
what Mr Blaine may or may not do is prema
ture. None of his friends think he will make
any speeches during the canvass. That is a
matter which will be decided later on.
One of the newest objections to Governor
Cleveland as a presidential candidate is that he
refused to sign the Grand Army bill. This bill,
which wa3 urged by tho members of the
Grand Army of the Republic, provided that
none but members of the order in good stand
ing should wear the badge. We can well ap
preciate the annoyance caused the organization
by bad men, some of whom were never in the
army, who persisted in wearing the badge for
the' sake of advancing their own interests. Yet
it seems a doubtful subject of legislation, even
if the New York legislature did pass tho bill.
When it is sought to regulato matters of dress
and ornament by statute, even though it be in
pursuance of what seems to be a good end,
a dangercus species of law making is entered
upon.
The venerable Luke Poland claims that he
has been broken and worn out by the demands
of tho pension bureau upon him. He could get
along with the ordinr.iy work of legislation
very nicely, but to have to look after three
hundred pension cases is to ranch for tho sim
ple salary of a member of congress. Hence he
is on a "strike." Tho actual work of legisla
tion In the House consists of going to tho capi
tal about 10 a m ; sitting around In a committee
room for an hour or two, writing half a dozen
letters to the politicians in the "deestrict," voting
when called, going over to Sandersons to take
a drink and eating a big dinner in the evening.

In the procession of laboring men that

The last hours of congress were peaceful and
decorous. The anxiety of the leading members
of the house to get to Chicago was so great that
there was no disposition to throw paper wads
or indulge in the hilarity usual to adjournment

Gov Cleveland served in the lato war. He

The Blaine managers have started the story

One of the most remarkable achievements of
the time is the subscription of $25,000,000 by
the people of Manchester, in one day, to build

city permits her fine harbor to be ruined, for
the lack of this English enterprise.
The Republicans are not talking so much
about carrying New Jersey, West Virginia and
North Carolina as ther were. The nomination
of Carter Harrison for governor of Illinois has
frightened them atiout that state, and there are
whispers that Wisconsin is liable ta enter the
Democratic fold.
The Hon John Sherman's opinion of the
Chicago platform is more just than flattering.
He charitably snpposes that the presence of so
much bosh in the platform is due to the hot
weather, which had an addling effect npon the

will be an Intolerably cold day when bosh is

The appointment of Grandfather Taft to the

According to a niemlier of Congress, who
speaks he says from positivo knowledge, Gen
Logan wrote the Fitz John Porter veto mess
age. Logan has disclaimed any communica

the question is narrowed down to one of veraci
ty. Some have thought that Lincoln wrote the
message, as it reflects his views, very closely,
but this Congressman says Lincoln did not and
Logan did. ' The most serious objection to this
theory is that it is gramatical.

7507 bills and 284 resolutions. Of these sixty
six senate bills and ten senato resolutions have

bills and 32 house resolutions have become laws
in the same manner. Threo house bills also
became laws without action of the president
and one was returned to the house. '
