THE LAST WHIG CONVENTION.
Some of it, History Given hy the Solita
ry Ohio Voter for Fillmore.
When the national delegates met at
Baltimore in 1852. says S. W. Ely in the
Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette, both Fill
more and Scott were placed in nomina
tion, as was also Daniel Webster, the
revered “expounder of the constitution,”
late Secretary of State under President
Tyler, and the favorite of a small, per
severing and uncompromising body of
Eastern politicians, merchants and
statesmen, who were ready “to spend and
be spent” in the worthy work of making a
President of their favorite.
The State of Ohio sent a full “college”
of delegates, with their alternates, all of
them duly elected, appointed and instruct
ed. With a single exception, viz.: the
delegates from the Lower Scioto Valley
district, all of the Ohio delegates were
the proponents and advocates of Gen.
Scott for President, and strove for his
nomination. Among these the writer re
members Samuel F, Vinton, John Sher
man, and other men then and since dis
tinguished, including his then brother edi
tors of the Cleveland Herald, and the
Lebanon f Ohio) Star. When the conven
tion met in the Maryland Institute the
Ohio delegation occupied a position of
eminence, facing Gen. Chapman, of Vir
the President of the convention,
and his fellow officers. Tbe more clam
orous Southerners, led by Cabell, of Flori
da, and some other determined support
°* “r. Fillmore, were disposed on the
left, while the delegation from New York,
of whom the lamented Raymond was a
conspicions member, filled a space be
tween the Southerners and Ohioans. The
Kentuckians, of whom Gen. Leslie
Coombs was tbe Chairman, and who oc
cupied the back part of the vast hall,
preceded 48 times the single vote from
Ohio for Fillmore. From the time tbe
balloting commenced to the temporary
adjournment of the convention, on Satur
day evening, each candidate was tender
ed substantially .the same number of
votes given to him at first, the balloting
routine, varied by the most passionate
and extravagant speeches, betraying the
determination of each division to' persist
in its course, even though the deliberative
body should be driven to adjaurn without
affecting the object of their meeting.
In the recesses tenders were made to and
from the various delegations, with the hope
of compromising on one or the other can
didate, and then, if there were any such
arrangement as Mr. Blaine says “thegos
sip of the day” described, it must have
been concluded upon by a very narrow
circle in a very quiet wav. No'such gos
sip came to my ears. 'When Saturday
night arrived the writer resolved to run
down to Washington with the purpose of
getting out of the seething maelstrom at
Baltimore and spending a quiet Sunday
with his kind and genial friend, the late
Hon. John L. Taylor, who represented the
laiwer Scioto district in the National
House of Representatives in several con
secutive Congresses.
On that Saturday night there seemed
but little prospect of the convention de
ciding on an individual nominee. Threats
had been made in various quarters of an
adjournment “in a row,” thus abandon
ing tbe attempt to make a nomination and
thus “breaking up the party.” The sub
scriber. who had withstood the alternate
persuasions and rebuffs of his colleagues,
for declining to disobey his instructions
and vote with them, was glad to seek a
day’s recreation in the comparative re
pose of the capital city—which he did.
On Sunday evening, in the course of a
walk about Washington, my friend and self
drew near the White House as tbe jani
tors were lighting the lamps. My old
friend suggested a call upon the Presi
dent, but I was loth to comply, urging
the indelicacy of tbe act under the extra
ordinary circumstances. I feared the
Chief Magistrate might in some way re
cognize in his visitor the one delegate
from Ohio who had voted for him every
time, and a mutual embarrassment might
mar the pleasure of the conference. Put
while I was remonstrating the door of the
President’s house had been opened, to tbe
summons of my friend, and we both en
tered. At the moment Mr. Fillmore and.
the non. Thomas Corwin, then Secretary
of the Treasury, were at tea, and we
awaited their entry to the reception
room. They presently came in, and I was
simply introduced by name to tbe Presi
dent (whom I bad never met before),
while Messrs. Corwin and Taylor made
a party by themselves.
Our interview was a short one, and the
subject of the Baltimore Convention was
mentioned.
“I notice,” said the President, “that my
friends are very persistent in their course,
and that a single delegate from Pennsyl
vania and one from Ohio are voting con
stantly for me. 1 seriously fear the con
vention will adjourn without deciding ou
a candidate; and if any frieffd of mine is
under the impression that it, would give
me more pleasure to see them do so than
to fix the choice en Mr. "Webster or Gen.
Scott, lje is very much mistaken. What
I most desire is the union of the party,
and the prevalence of Whig principles
and men.”
I shall never forget the impression made
upon me by hearing those words. They
were those of a large-minded, self-sacrific
ing patriot, who rose far above the
promptings of individual ambition to the
serene empyrean of principle and cour
age. While the utterance of such senti
ments inevitably increased my respect
for the speaker, at the same time they
widened the purview of my own action,
and suggested that my individual course
might be so directed as to unify the great
nominating body and happily close the
convention.
Sleep that night being impossible for
me. after parting with my friend Taylor I
roamed about the city till an early hour. I
remember passing the house of Mr. Web
ster. which was illuminated apparently in
everv chamber, while the flitting shadows
playing upon the ceilings showed there
were many sleepless waKers through the
corridors." It was understood that the
Sage of Marshfield had set his political
“life upon a cast,” and was anxiously
“biding the hazard of the die.” I may re
mark, at the time not a half score of
Western districts favored the nomination
of Mr. Webster. whose attachment to the
then late administration of Tyler had
clouded hiapopularity with the party.
Returning to Baltimore by the earliest
train, the writer ran across the street to
the old Maltby House, called for a room
and pen, ink and paper, and hastily jotted
down such notes as might enable me to
make such explanation as would grace
lully precede the changing .of my vote
from one candidate to another, with the
endeavor to guide the convention toward
a unanimous choice. I had thought out
the argument intensely, and soon commit
ted it to paper. 1 hastily drove to the in
stitute. and on entering "heard “The State
ot Ohio” called on for her vote, and, on my
solicitation, our venerable Chairman. Mr.
Vinton, suffered me to cast it in order to
“make it unanimous.” I began my re
marks, but was soon choked off by hisses
and groans from my compatriots’ of the
week preceding. The fair Baltimoreans,
who had showered me with bouquets,
now seemed almost frantic with passiOD,
and it one might imagine such hissing
beauties were capable of communicating
a virile principle, they would have in
stantly done it. But. by stubbornly
standing until the clamor subsided,which
was renewed anon and quieted again, ad
monishing my hearers that they were
wasting their ow time; that I had the
floor, had something to say, and was de
termined to sav it. I got through satisfac
torily, and inaugurated the stampede for
Scott.
On the fiftieth ballot the Fillmore dele
gate from Pennsylvania changed his vote
to Scott; on the next (or fifty-second) old
Gen. Leslie Coombs came over with 12
delegates from Kentucky, and before 12
o’clock, noon, the nomination of Gen.
Scott was made unanimous. The Whigs
throughout the country accepted the
choice nominally, if not heartily; but the
work of sectional factions, in either ex
treme, bad destroyed the animus of the
grand Whig party, and the brave old
General, as everybody knows, was de
feated!
The Engagement Stilt On.
A T ev Tort Sum.
“You have heard of papa’s trouble at
the bank, George, dear*” she asked from
beneath the lapel of his coat.
“Your papa’s trouble at the bank!” ex
claimed George, turning white. “Cer
tainly not!” Wbat is it?” a
“W*hy, he is $4,000,000 behimnn his ac
counts "and an investigation is to be had.”
“In that case,” replied George, coldly,
struggling to release himself, “our en
gagement must ”
“And mamma got a dispatch from him
to-day trom Canada,” interrupted the girl,
holding him down by main strength. “He
reached there only "this morning, and is
willing to settle matters at three cents on

to bis shoulder and stroking ner ringlets
fondly.
AT THE NATION’S CAPITAL
SEACOAST DEFENSES UP IN THE
HOUSE.
Representative Flnerty Make, a Gran
diloquent Speech in Favor of Patting
the Conntry in Readiness for War—
The Limit to Internal Revenue Prose
cutions Fixed at Three Years.
W ashington, June 30.—1n the Senate
to-day Mr. Slater, from the Committee on
Public Lands, submitted a report to ac
company the bill forfeiting the unearned
lands granted to the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company. The report, he said,
was not unanimous, and the minority of
the committee would hereafter submit its
views.
Mr. Allison, from the Committee on Appro
priations, reported the bill to continue the
public printing seven days in advance of the
approDriation to be hereafter made. Mr. Al
lison hail the Clerk read a letter from the
I’nblic Printer, saying that no appropriation
for printing would be available after to-day,
aua unless something was done to extend tfie
existing appropriation act until the passage
of the sundry civil bills, all public printing,
including the printing of the Congreemional
Record, would have to be stopped. The bill
was read the third time and pas-ed.
Mr. Morgan, from the Committee on Public
bauds, reported fovorsbir the bill declaring
forfeited certain grants of land made to cer
tain States to aid the construction of rail,
road- Doth hills were placed on tbe calendar.
Mr. Morgan, from the Committee on Public
Lands, re)iorted adversely the bill to grant
public lands to the survivors of the Mountain
Meadow massacre. Mr. Morgan said that the
committee was satisfied that if a valid claim
existed against the government arising out of
the massacre it was not a claim that should
be compensated in public lands, but money.
At tbe request of Mr. Garland the bill was
placed on the calendar.
Mr. Cameron, ot Pennsylvania, called np
liis resolution, heretofore submitted, di,-
rbarging the I inance Committee from further
consideration of the bill for the retirement
and recoinage of trade dollars,
Mr. Morrill expressed the hope that it would
not be agreed to.
On a motion to agree to the resolution Mr.
Morrill called for the yeas and nays, which
resulted in 21 yeas to 28 nays. So the resolu
tion was not agreed to.
A message from the House announced the
non-concurrence of that body in the Senate
amendments to the general deficiency bill.
The Senate insisted on its amendments, and
ordered a committee of conference. The
Chair appointed as such committee Messrs.
Hale, Allison and Cockrell.
I.VTEUKAL KEVKNUE VIOLATORS.
On motion of Mr. Harris, the Senate took
up the House bill to limit’to two years the
time within which prosecutions may be insti
tuted against persons charged with violating
the internal revenue laws.
Mr. Sherman moved to amend by substi
tuting three years for two. He thought two
years too short a time.
Mr. Garland said that the Judiciary Com
mittee had given the subject serious consid
eration. and bad concluded to recommend
two years.
Mr. Hoar said that in some districts grand
juries meet but once a vear, and the limita
tion would, therefore, be practically opposite
in Burh districts. As for one year only. Mr.
Harris said that the internal revenue authori
ties had found few prosecutions successful
when instituted after two years, and the Sec
retary of the Treasury and the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue had recommended the
two years limit.
Mr. Hawley thought that the failure of suc
cess in the prosecutions was an indication
that the Department of Justice might be im
proved in Us methods.
Mr. Sherman’s motion was not agreed to by
29 yeas to 29 nays.
Mr. Harrison”thought that some provision
siiould be made to protect against conceale l
crime, the limit lieing in his opinion too short.
Mr. Hoar offered an amendment, which was
agreed to. extending the limit to the period of
the discharge of the grand jury at its next
session after a complaint shall be instituted,
provided the complaint be instituted within
t wo years.
Mr. Sherman called attention to the fact
that a two-year limitation would apply to
offenses committed by collectors of internal
revenue handling millions of dollars a year.
THE BILL AMENDED AND PASSED.
The bill, being completed as in committee of
the whole, was reported to the Senate, when
Mr. Sherman renewed his motion to make the
limitation three years. The amendment was
now agreed to and the bill then passed.
Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, introduced
a joint resolution authorizing and directing
the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase
United States trade dollars to an amount- not
to exceed $10,000,009 at t heir face value, pay
ing therefor standard silver dollars, provided
the purchase be made prior to Sept. 1, 1884.
Mr. Morrill objected to its present consider
ation, and the joint resolution went over.
The Senate then proceeded with considera
tion of the river and harbor bill.
On motion of Mr. Allison, debate on the bill
was suspended while the House joint resolu
tion was read three times and passed provid
ing for the continuance for live days from
June 30 for the appropriations for tlie fiscal
year just closing, the amount to be expended
for the five days not to exceed five days’ pro
portion of the whole of last year’s appropria
tion.
Mr. Allison remarked that this resolution
was based on the expectation of adjournment
on Saturday. If that expectation should not
be realized, further extension would become
necessary.
RIVERS AND HARBORS.
Consideration of Hie river and harbor hill
was then resumed.
The five minutes’ rule was applied to the
debate. The section prescribing penalties for
Ailing up harbors by the deposit of garbage
and refuse matter, was ruled out on a point of
order, raised by Mr. Morgan, that it was new
legislation. At 6:30 o'clock, having disposed
of the committee amendments, all of which
were agreed to except the above noted, the
Senate adjourned, leaving other amendments
to be proi>osed to-morrow.
IN THE HOUSE.
In the House to-day the amendments of the
Senate to the deficiency appropriation bill, on
motion of Mr. Randall, were non-concurred
iu, and Messrs. Randall, Humes and Calkins
were apitointed conferees.
The following bills were introduced and re
ferred :
Bv Mr. Lewis, of Louisiana—Directing the
Attorney General to institute legal proceed
ings for the recovery and restoration of lauds
granted to the New Orleans, Baton Rouge and
Vicksburg Railroad Company.
Bv Mr. King, of Louisiana—Appropriating
sav 6400,000 to be expended by the National
Board of Health to prevent the introduction
and spread of Asiatic cholera in the United
States.
Bv Mr. Bagley, of New York—To prohibit
the business of importing lazaroni and beg
gars and hiring them out as laborers.
Bv Mr. Cox. of New Y'ork—A preamble and
resolution reciting that on Feb. 25 the House
adopted a resolution calling on the President
for the communications which have passed
between the United States and Russia With
respect to the treatment ot Hebrews by the
latter government, and that no snch commu
nications have been transmitted, and respect
fully requesting the President to cqpiply with
the resolution.
Mr. Randall introduced a joint resolution
providing that all appropriations for the ne
cessary operations of the government under
the existing laws which shall remain unpro
vided for after June 30, 1884, shall be con
tinued and made available for a period of five
days from and after that date, unless the reg
ular appropriation hills now pending shall
have been previously enacted. The resolution
was passed.
RID OF THE INDIAN APPROPRIATION
BILL.
Mr. Ellis, of Louisiana, submitted the con
ference reportpn the Indian appropriation bill.
The conference committee has come
to an agreement on all the points
of difference between the two houses,
except one, and as agreed to the bill
appropriates 65,8"9,402, being 4430,313
in excess of the amount carried by the hid as
it originally passed the House, and 4120,225
less thau was appropriated by the Senate.
The point still remaining in dispute is in re
gard to the abolition of the office of Indian In
spector and the detail of five army officers to
act as Indian inspectors. The House pro
vision to this effect was stricken out by the
Senate. The report was agreed to and Mr.
Throckmorton, of Texas, the author of the
question in dispute, moved that the House re
cede from its disagreement to the Senate
amendment. The motion was carried and
the law remains as at present. This disposes
of the bill as far as the House is concerned.
The House then went into committee of the
whole, with Mr. Blount, of Georgia, in the
chair, on the fortification appropriation bill.
Mr. Horr, ot Michigan, said that the bill, as
reported bv the majority of the Committee on
Appropriations, was a departure from the
practice of the government for the last seven
or eight rears. During that period money
had own appropriated simply in a sufficient
quantity to keep the forts on hand in a state
of preservation, without doing anything in
the line of making any new defenses. The
first item in the majority hill appropriated
411,000.090 for beginning the construction of
new forts on the deep water harbors of the
country, while the second item appropriated
43,000,000 for beginning new torts m shadow
ports.
USELESSNESS OF OUR OLD FORTS.
Many of the existing forts which had
been built with reference to 42-pouad
shot, were to-day utterly worthless as a
means of defense against guns throwing
2.000-ponnd shot. Any second-class iron-clad
vessel of any second-class power in the world
could steam right into New York, lay tribute
upon iis inhabitants and destroy the city, in
spite of everything the American people could
do. To-day China or Italy had in their
navies boats that could ride into anv deep
harbor on the coast of the United States, and
the Unitedi States had no guns worthy of the
name to meet their assaults. Talk about the
little artillery the government now possessed,
it would be as practicable to stop the career
of a wild rhinoceros by shooting green
peas out of a popgun at him as to
stop one of those vessels from enter
ing onr ports by means of the gnus which we
possess. Advocating briefly the items making
appropriations for the purchase of submarine
torpedoes and ot machine guns, be called
particular attention to the appropriation of
41.000,000 for the procurement of heavy steel
rifle guns, and the necessity which existed
that deep water ports should be furnished
with these engines of defense. What
was the sense of the government
waiting uctil a war was on its hands
before it began to prepare for it! He
would have the nation never insult any other
SAVANNAH, TUESDAY, JULY 1, 1884.
nation, but he would have it so strong and
well equipped that in the future it need never
submit to any insult from any other power on
the face of the earth.
ADVOCATING THE HAPPY MEAN.
Mr. Cox, of New York, contrasted the
appropriations made by the majority
and minority bills, and said that it
might be that upon an investigation of
the matter the House might strike the golden
mean. He would not be guilty of extrava
gance because there was no evidence of war,
neither would he be derelict in regard to the
proper armament and defense of the country,
while commenting upon the necessityof secur
ing iron-clads of a size for carrying halls of
large size for purposes of defense, he strenu
ously opposed the senate proposition for the
construction of new cruisers, and hoped that
the House conferees on the naval appropria
tion bill would not yield a
-point to the Senate. The "fault of
there unarmed cruiser- was not so much in
the light guns they carried, hut in their ina
bility to keep out the projections of machine
guns, which formed a large part of the arma
ment of modern iia ies.
Mr. Finerty, of Illinois, said that it would
give him pleasure to sustain the minority re
port if he could do so conscientiously, but he
believed that the national defenses were so
meagre that it became the dutv of every
patriot, irrespective of party, to lift his voice
in favor of an appropriation for coast fortifi
cations.
WHERE ECONOMY 18 TREASON.
Economy was a virtue, but an economy
which-proposed to leave the country free anil
independent and protected simply by the
t'deratioii of foreign power.ceaseu to lie"econ
omy and became closely allied to treason.
We stood a nation in inferior touonosn the re
sources which made a nation great. We
stood saying that we are at peace with every
one and need no defense. We were traitors in
spirit. We were petticoats of the Delawares
who were content to draw water and bew
wood. Was this the spirit of a nation
which refused the right of search upon the
seas' Was this the spirit of the nation
which against overwhelming obstacles carried
•is immortal flag into tlie hallsof Montezuma'
lie abhorred tins spirit of economy, practiced
to the extent of niggardness. It not only im
perilled, but degraded the patriotism of the
nation. More, it placed Americans in the
light of men who were afraid of their own
chief officers. If any party was as cowardly
as that, it deserved to lie beaten at the polls.
He did not want to be identiiied with any
party which set its face squarely against the
defense of the country, against insult,
or the invasion of a foreign enemy.
In conclusion, he said: “Vou, repre
sentatives of this government and gallant
nation, which has turned its back on no foe,
and has ever been victorious; you of the gal
lant South, and you of the independent and
sturdy North, this is not a party question. It
is a question of the whole nation let us
close our ranks, and give to the people of this
country assurance that here, in this chamber,
sits a patriotic and not partisan assembly.
DEFIANCE TO THE WORLD.
Let us fortify our seacoast, and then we
can say to all the ]>owers of Europe: “Come,
and you will find, as the Persians found
in Greece, that every spot oi our
soil shall be the grave of a
hero or an invader; that every
spot of soil shall be held sacred to liberty, and
that the American army can prove again its
supremacy in the sunlight of liberty and
place the stars and stripes in glory above any
empire which seeks to pollute our soil with
the tread of its mercenary hosts. [Applause.]
Sir. Holman, of Indiana, and Sir. Follet, of
Ohio, approved the majority bill and the
principles upon which it was founded.

Wise entitled to retain his seat as Representa

ST All ROUTE STABS.
Deteetive Wood Vents His Spleen on
Inspector Woodward.
Washington, June 30.—After a secret
meeting of the Springer Committee to-day
the Ctfhirman announced that the com
mittee did not think that it was necessary
for W. A. Cook to appear again as a wit
ness. He had asked for an opportunity to
reply to the testimony of Gen. Swaim and
Gen. Boynton.
The Chairman said that Mr. Cook had twice
been before the committee and it was thought
that Ihat was sufficient. Sles9rs. Swaim and
Boynton had only corroborated the evidence
of another witness, Mr. Woodward.
Mr. Cook was present, and said that lie re
fardetl the actiou of the committee as unjust.
Ie considered the te.aiof Gen. Swaim
&. ..ntjiy false, and the teetimo* l *-
en. ltovnton as unfounded in met.
C. C. Cole, the partner of W. A. Cook, de
nied that he had had an interview with a Mr.
Column relative to the prevention of an in
dictment of Mr. Colegrove, a star route eon
tractor. He characterized Mr. Column as a
man of bad repute.
W. p. Wood, a private detective, was be
fore the committee also. He characterized
Mr. Woodward, the Post Office Inspector, as
a scoundrel, and guilty of recommending
fraudulent claims, ilis language became so
offensive towards Ihat gentleman, who was
present, that the Chairman of the committee
was compelled to insist that he give a different
character of testimony or leave the room.
The witness, continuing, said that J. W. C.
Green, a clerk in the Post Office Department,
had produced facts and papers showing fraud
on the part of persons interested in the prose
cution of the star route cases, and that they
were not proceeding against the defendants
in good faith. Wood said that he was work
ing in the interest of Gen. Brady, and that
papers had been furnished him by Green as a
personal favor, and without Green s knowl
edge of his being interested in the defendants.
He characterized the remission ot lines to Mr.
Walsh by the government as a steal.
Mr. Woodward informed the committee that
Cook had written a letter recommending an
extra month’s pay to Mr. Walsh for service on
the Santa Fe aud Prescott route
“That’s a deliberate, studied lie,” interposed
Cook.
The Chairman requested Cook tokeepquiet.
Mr. Woodward said that he would prove by
Second Assistant Postmaster General Lyman
that the letter was written.
The Springer Committee has decided to hear
a statement from ex-Senator Kellogg to-mor
row. Mr. Kellogg had requested that he
might he heard.
KELLOGG WILL CONCEAL NOTHING.
Mr. Kellogg says that he proposes to tell
the Springer committee all that lie knows
about his case to-morrow. He has all the let
ters and papers deemed of importance, and
he proposes to spread them before the com
mittee. He has nO hing to conceal. He says
that he is the victim of circumstances, and
chiefly of circumstances surrounding an at
tempt on his part to do the famous witness,
Walsh, a personal kindness.
MR. ENGLISH’S LOBBYING.
Further Assertions That There Was No
Crookedness In His Appeals.
Washington, June 30.—W. H. English,
of Indiana, appeared again to-day before
the special House committee appointed to
investigate the qjiarge made against him
of using improperly the privileges of
the House floor while the Peelle-English
contested election was pending.
Mr. English said that before the Committee
on Elections made the report in the case that
he called at the homes of Messrs. Turner,
Cook, Converse and Lowry, members of the
committee, am* talked with .them on the
subject. Mr. Elliott, another member of the
committee, he saw at one of the city hotels.
He also had interviews regarding the case
with other members of Congress, including
Mr. Springer, before the report was made. In
his conversation with these gentlemen he
tried, by fair arguments, to influence them in
favor of his son, and to get them to use their
influence in his behalf with the committee,
“ Did it occur to you that any action you
might take before tlie case was reported was
improper?”
“It did not. I honestly believed that my
son was fairly elected, and that there was no
impropriety in my fairly presenting his side
of the case.”
Mr. Springer was then called t# the stand.
He said that Mr. English requested him to see
Mr. Cook and to have him consider the case
in favor of his son. The witness did not think
that Mr. Cook was present when the vote was
taken and did not know whether or not he
was paired.
Mr. Henley, turning to Mr. English, said:
“Was not Senator Harrison on the floor pull
ing and hauling for Mr. I’eelle?”
Mr. Millard, interposing—l saw him on the
floor during the discussion, but never saw him
speak to a single man.
“Isa v him,” said young Mr. English. “Both
he auc Senator Voorhees were on tlie floor.”
“Wfcat was Mr. Harrison there for—for
amusement?” asked Mr. Henley. “My seat
was within three seats of where fie sat and I
did not see him talk.”
“I challenge you to prove it,” said Mr. Mil
lard.
Mr. Millard, continuing, said that he thought
that it was unjust to criticise Senator Harri
son. Mr. Cook said that Mr. Springer and a
dozen other members had spoken to him with
regard to the contest, but such was the com
mon practice in election cases. Mr. Springer’s
interest, lie said, was personal, as he had been
intimately connected with the English family
for years. The committee then adjourned.

if the members of loth houses do their
duty. * The general desire to get away is
very great. The members threaten to ad

GLADSTONE COURTS CENSURE.
He Callft on the House of Commons to
Come to a Vote Immediately.
London, June 30.—1n the House of
Commons to-day Premier Gladstone
moved that the vote of censure of the
government’s Egyptian policy be gives
precedence of all other business. This
motion was defeated by a vote of 190 to
148.
The rejection of Mr. Gladstone’s motion
was wholly unexpected. Mr. Gladstone
and his colleagues in the government
voted with the Conservatives, in order to
allow the debate on the vote of censure to
take place as soon as possible. The sight
of the members of the government voting
with the opposition caused great amuse
ment. The Parnelliteß and a majority of
the Liberals opposed the motion. Before
proposing the motion Mr. Gladstone
stated that he anticipated asking the
House of Commons by a vote to sustain or
reject the Anglo-French agreement and
the result of the conference.
Three motions were made in the House
of Commons by conservative members for
that body to adjourn, but were rejected.
Sir Charles Dilke censured the oppositon
for its attempts to obstruct the business of
the House when the leader of the opposi
tion did not sympathize with such mo
tions.
Clifford Lloyd, recently Under Secretary
of the Interior in Egypt, has written a
letter to the Times in which he gives a
graphic description of the horrors of
Egyptian prisons, corruption, of murders
and the anti-English intrigues of the offi
cials at Cairo.

BUTLER TO WIN AT CHICAGO.
—————
Report* that a Democratic Conference
Has Decided on Him.
New York, June 30.—Benjamin F.
Butler has been selected by the Democra- j
cy to lead them to victory. A conference
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel settled the
matter. Tt was very quiet, and has thus
far been kept from tbe public. John Kelly,
Gen. Butler, Governor Hoadly, Represen
tative Ermeutrout for Samuel J. Randall,
Lester B. Faulkner for Roswell P.
Flower, and others, representing Bayard
and McDonald, met to decide on the best
man to oppose Blaine. Cleveland was not
represented, because the gentlemen as
sembled agreed that Cleveland could not
win. It was stated that tbe Republicans
were spending money to nominate Cleve
land. The conference soon resolved itself
into an anything to-beatfUleveland meet
ing, and Butler was unanimously selected
as the proper candidate. Butler agreed
to accept if uo revenue reform plank was
inserted in the plat lo nil. A Virginian
present said that his State would be
solid for Butler and Mahone’s
influence would be thrown to him.
Butler’s war record was answered nv
the argument that he would divide the
colored vote and thus couipen-isi
loss of the Southern white vote. A\\ est
ern Democrat urged above all that Butter
is already in the field, having received
four or five nominations, which would
bring a large floating vote, fully a million.
In the country. John Kelly urged Butler
because Blaine would poll a large Irish
vote, and Butler was the only man to
secure it. Even Maryland was unsafe
unless Butler was nominated. The
Western min were surprised at
tbe depth of feeling in the East
against Cleveland, and they accepted
Butler nith good grace. Mr. Ermeutrout
chnlle* ged any one to name a man who
weu.’d arouse the enthusiasm Butler
would. With due respect to Randall, no
man could make the tight against Blaine
that Benjamin could. Then a Flow
er-Bayard-Butler compact was for
mally made. Butler afterwards
went to Virginia, and has since returned
to v Lowell. He has rented a suite ot
offi cea in this city. Mr. Flower in an in
terview this evening admitted the sub
stant. <al truth of the above, and announced
bimseli • ott of the race.
A POLITICAL FAIRY TALK.
Tilden to be El ”ectefl and Then Turn the
Presidency Over to a Man of His
Choice.
Washington, June SO.—Here is a
Blaine story, telegraphed to* a *he Blaine
papers to-night, which ia quite a* ’ proba
ble as most of tbe stories turned ou' 1 ' •*>'
the Blaine literary bureau;
The recent conference of Democratic
leaders in New York was called to consider a
plan proposed by one of the gentlemen who
attended it and approved bv them all for
beating Blaine, whom they all believe could
not bo beaten by any ordinary methods. The
plan contemplated Tilden’s running as the
candidate of the party as the only man who
can heat blaine. After the Democratic
electors had been elected Tilden was to come
out in a letter declaring that on ac
count of his health ho could not take
the Presidency. Then he was to name
the man who was to tie voted for
by the Democrat: electors. This plan would
commend itself to Tilden because it would
give him the honor of a re-election, and at
the same time a unique place in hirtory. Then
it would commend itself toevery sther Demo
cratic candidate because each ore would live
in hope that he would be Tildenslegatee, and
would work in the campaign asdiougli he were
working for himself alone. The plan had
Tilden’s approval and world probably he
adopted. Here the story stoiped.
CHAIRMAN .JON *B SPEAKS.
The Tariff to he Madetlic Itone of Con
tention—His Views on Candidates.
Pittsburg, June 30.—8. F. Jones,
Chairman of the National Republican
Committee, has returned home and talks
freely about the campaign.
•iflfslvii that no infinite plan of operation
has been agreed o$ as yet, and it cannot be
until after the meeting of th nemocratic
National Convention. The paramount issue,
however, will bt the tariff. Asa national
question it will inter largely into discussion
on the stump, gad in the press of all doubtful
States at the hands of the committee. The
States which he says are doubtful, but ex
pects to -tarry, arc New York, New
Jersey, Indiana, and possibly West Vir
ginia. T.le latter he counts as sure,
unless Bayard is nominated, as he would he
strong there, in speaking of the Democratic
candidates he said that Cleveland has no cer
tainty of a nomination, but is in the lead.
Bayard or Butler would be harder to defeat.
Thurman is the best man named for the place,
but wouldn't make as good a run ns Cleveland.
Tilden might accept yet if he were tendered n
unanimous nomination. Butler, lie said,
might carry Massachusetts even if lie didn’t
get Democratic indorsement. With the Mas
sachusetts electoral votes in his pocket llutler
could put the other candidates in a peculiar
position.

guished accession from the Republican

nite to-day as to make him out to be ‘‘a
distinguished Republican, who served in
the Senate from New York, being twice
elected, and who received and declined
an offer of a place on the Supreme bench
of the United States.” This description
fits ex-Senator Roscoe Conkling better
than anyone else.
