At G :24 o’clock Charles Jones, of Mis-
sou i ch drman of the resolutions com

dressing the convention he said : “I am
instructed by the committee on resolu¬
tions to piesont to you as the nport of

you may more distinctly hear what the
committee has prepared, I intend io ask

with the phrase >logy of the platform, to

(Cries of no, no, no.)
Mr. Patterson, of Colorado, ad van red
0 n the platform and said: “In view of
the statement just made, I will say that
I represent the minority of the commit te
on resolutions, and I desire to announce
that, that minority expects to be heard to
present its report be ore the previous
question shall be put.” Quick cheers
followed this announcement. Then ex-
Secretary Vilas commenced to r ad the
resolutions at 6:28 o’clock, but when he
reached the phrase ‘ From Mad so i to
Cleveland,” there was the quick shout of
one vo ce near the platform. It was lost,
however, in a fl isb, for it seemed that a-

che* r* d Tue school law plank was
carefully listened to, and was punctuated
at the end of nearly every sentence by
shouts of approval. The only features
of the platform which seemed to call
forth divided sentiments was the tariff
and silver planks which were apparently
not sufficiently rad cal to satisfy dek-
gttes with pronounced views. the .Mr. platform. Jones
m >v d the adoption of
Mr. Neal, of Ouio, was recognized, and
moved to strike from the tariff section
ail words preceding the denunciation of
the McKinlev ac\ ;.nd to substitute
therefor the following:
“We denounce republican protection
as a fraud ou the labor of the great rna-
joritvof American people for the benefit
of the few. We declare it to be afunda-
men’al principle of the democratic party
that th « f « deral government hasno con^
stRutional power to impose and collect
tariff duties except for the purpose of
revenues only (applause and cheers) and
we demand that the colled ion Df such

applause.)
A tremendous tumult followed. Neal,
Vilas and WaterSon took part in the de¬
bate. Mr. Jones retire 1 in despair. Mr.
Neal demanded a roll call on his m tion
to sttike out and i-ubstitutc. The roll
was called and resulted: ayes, 504:
aays, 312.
Mr. Patterson, of Colorado, then took
the floor and preet nted the minority re¬

was voted ou by the yeas and nays an i
carried.
Mr. Ch firmau—The next order of
business, gentlemen, is a call of the roll
of states for the n miuation of candi¬
dates for the office of piesident of the
United Mates ihe clerk commenced to
call the roll and got as far as Alabama,
when he was interrupted.
Mr. Fenton, of Arkansas, attempted to
have an adjournment but no attention
waspiidtoit. Arkansas yielded her
place to New Jersey and ex G vernor
Abbett, of that state, came forward to
the i>latforrfi, accompanied by enthusias¬
tic cheers from the Cleveland wing of the
convention, it being uuderstoo 1 that Ab
bett was to nom • ate ex President Cleve
land. When order was restored Govi-r
nor Abbett addressed the body, formally
placing Grovu- Cleveland in nomination.
He began by saying:
“Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention:—In presenting a name to
this convention I speak for the uni ed
democra ic principles, faithful service-
to the party and whose contributions to
its success entitled it to the respectful
convention got promptly down to the
only busine.-s left for it to transact—the
nomination of a vice president. Gray,
of Indiana; S.eveason, of Illinois;
Morse, of Wisconsin, were pres* nted.
Stcvenso» was nominated on the first
ballot.
HOW XT WAS DONE.
Chairmm Wilson hammered the con
vention to order at 2:47 o’clock, and
Rev. Thomas Green, of Iowa, off- re 1
prayer in opening the convention. The
roll call for speeches nominating a can¬
didate for vice president was begun at
3 o’clock p. m. Arkansas yielded to In¬
diana, and Hon. John E Lamb took the
floor and placed in nomination Governor
Gray. Colorado, next in the roll of
states, was called and gave way to Illi¬
nois, which state sent to the platform ex-
Congr* ssmau Worthington, who present¬
ed the name of Hon. A. E. Stevenson, of
Illinois, in a stirring speech.
Connecticut sent up Delegate Vance to
second the nomination of Gray, of f r.—
diana, and Idaho spoke f' r the H >osier.
Iowa was called, when her chairman arose
and said: “Iowa, gentlemen, his no
candidate for the second place. It is the
wish of G'>v. Boies and this delegation
lhat his name shall not be presented for
the vice presidency.” Deieg .te Scott, of
Kansas, in a fifteen-seconds senten -e, de¬
clared that practical politic-* demanded
Gray in the second place. Young John

S. Bhea, of Kentucky, was sent up to
second Mr. Stevenson’s nomination in
behalf of a part of the delegation. His
speech v.as roundly cheered. Edwin
Fuhl went up to the platform to speak
for Michigan. He presented the name of
Chief Justice B. Morse, of the Peninsula
State.
New York being called. Gov. Flow*r
arose and announced that New York had
n*> candidate to present. North Carolina
seconded the name of Stevenson, and
then the:e was a skip a ! ong the states in
the roll until Texas was reached, and its
voice was lilted for Gray. John Goode,
of Virginia, got on his chair aud sent up
his indorsement of Stevenson. Wash
ing on announced for Gray. Then came
up Delegate Bragg, of Wisconsin, to put
up the name of John L Mitchell, of that
stite. Oklahoma came under the Steven
son umbrella, ami Alabam *, which had
passed at ihe end of th -roll, cime up
with a second for Morse, of Michigan,
considerations of the democracy of the
United States. We fe 1 certain that
every democratic state, though its pref
erences may be for some other distiu
guished democrat, will give its warm,
enthusiastic and earnest support to slit-
nominee of this convention.”
Governor Abbett proceeded without
receiving more than mild applause until
he re cbed that portion of his addrtss
where he says, “If there was any doubt
existing in my mind of the results of this
national contest, I would not urge on
behalf of mv state the views of its dem¬
ocracy in favor of Grover Cleveland.’'
The mention of the sage of Buzzird’s
Bay was a sigud for a thunder of cheers.
Men and women who thronged the great
galleries waved fans, umbrellas and ban¬
ners.
Mr. DeWitt, of New York, followed
Abbett, aud nominated Hill. DeWitt
was f Bowed by John R. Fellows, who
eloquently and amid some enthusiasm
seconded the nomination of Hill. Mr
Green,of Illinois, took the stand to second
Cleveland's nomination, bu t ie audience
called for “time” upon him and he sat
down. Mr. English, of Indiana, edged
in a brief speech stconding Cleveland,and
then Mr. Duncan, of lows, put Boies in
nomination with au excellent speech, ami
although it was midnight there was a
great show of enthusiasm.
SECONDING THE NOMINATIONS.
After many other speeches, seconding
the nominations of the three‘candidates,
amidst the greatest confu-ion and cries
of “time, time,” Senator Daniels, of
Virginia, took the stand to second Hill’s
nomination. The immense audience ini
mediately commenced crying “time.”
After this order had gone on for half an
hour, Bourke Cochran, of New Y ork,
declared in a tone of thunder
above the din, that unless
New York was given a resDect-
fu hearing, it would l e befit for its del-
gitos r • leave the hall. It Was then
11 :3<) o’clock, and a per ect bedlam was
reigning in the hail. Some delegate
yelled i th- chairman wou'd use his
cave’., there would be order. Finally
the {mlifcemen und sirgeant-ut-arm-
were instructed to remove all persons
from the hall who nude confusion. A
moti u w s also made to adjourn, but
* he chairman declined to recognize it.
Or er w s at last secured, and the call¬
ing of states was continued.

The third and closing session of the
national democratic convention vv s ca!'-
ed to order at 2:45 p. m. Thursday. The
CALLING THE STATES.
Then, the nominations being cone’ud-
ed, roil call was begun. Alabama Ld off
wi ll a skip for Morse. Arkansas came
in with her sixteen for Gray. California
split squarely in the m ddle—nin■> each
fo Gray and Steveusou. Illinois’ forty-
eight plumped into the Stevenson has
kef, but Iowa fir-t stirred the crowd.
“We cast our solid vote for Henry
Watter on,” said the Chairman,and th re
were cheers. The biggest breeze of ihe
roll call swep' the convention when Gov
erncr Flower stood on his feet and
stated that New York was s lid
for Stevenson—seventy two vo’es. The
breeze grew to a gale of applause. It
subsided only to rise again when North
( arolina stepped into the Stevtnson col¬
umn. When Ohio shot out thu tv-eight
of her forty-six votes for Stevenson the
excitement grew, and when the Key¬
stone State dropped sixty-four votes into
the hat of Gray, a counter current o:
cheering caused a cloudburst of confu¬
sion over the convention floor. Wi-con-
sin cast her twenty-three votes for John
L. Mitchell When ihe roll was finished
the figures showed for Stevenson 402 and
Gray 243—no choice.
Then began changes. Iowa firs’ came
into t he Stevenson camp, Montana next,
fallowed by Nebraska. Ohio got into
liue amid great cheers. Miss uri climb
ed over the wall, Georgia was clo c he—
hind, and Kentucky cinia next. It be-
c one only a question of time, and when
a two-thirds Vote for Stevenson h *d
been obtained the nomination was an¬
nounced.
CLOSING SCENES.
The u e ual resolutions of thanks to the
officers were passed, and the national
committee nomination were made. Gen¬
eral Pa rck Collins, of Massachusetts,
thentook the platform and moved ‘that

the democratic committee should, at ttsc

modations only for delegaus, alternates,
the press, national committee, but for no
others. This was demanded in view <>f
the gallery interruptions that are possible
and have been demonstrated. The reso-
lut on was referred to the executive com¬
mittee of the new national committee,
with an affirmative recolftinenda ion.
At 5:20 o’clock the convention adjourn
ed sine die.
Do Animals Commit Suicide I
There is a story of a poor cat, de¬
prived of her kittens, who hanged her¬
self Id the fork of a branch. But this
may have been an accident; we should
have given the cat the benefit of the
doubt. News comes of a dog who com¬
mitted suicide. His master declined to
take him out to shoot rabbits, and the
dog went and drowned himself in a
pond. The story is true, but Australian,
and the dog may have merely exhibited
an extreme form of colonial sensitive¬
ness. If we once admit that a dog may
reason on life and death (uot being a mad
dog), and exercise a hasty but rational
choice, it is plain that the whole system
of ethics will have to be altered.
The poor Indian may be right about
the equal sky, which is a poor prospect
for people who a e not fond of dogs.
The ghosts of dogs have been seen, and
are as well vouched for as any others;
so, on the whole, the poor Indian may be
less untutored than the poet imagined.—

Ancient Rules for Carving.
Our ancestors fully recognized the value
of good carving, and many were the rules
by which a carver w s expected '» be gov¬
erned. The ancient “Bokeof Kervyng,”
amoi g other things, admonish* s him to
touch venison only with his kuife and to
“set never on fynche, flesch, beeste ner
fowle more than two fyngers and a
thumbe.” Fingers he was naturally
obliged to use, since forks were a luxury
of later date, and were not in private use
until James I’s reign. Piers Gaveston,
the favorite of Edward II, had three silver
forks for eating pears w ith, but this was
regarded, no doubt, as a great and special
luxury.—Kansas City Star.
Writing on Wood.
Some persons are of the opinion that
the first writing was upon thin pieces of
wood. From their convenience this
seems probable. Such boards were used
at an early period by the Greeks and
Romans, and were frequently covered
with wax, which was. of course, more
easily written upon than the bare wood.
Where wax was used errors w 7 ere readily
erased by rubbiug with the blunt end of
the piece of metal w’hich served for a
pen. To make the writing more visible
it appears that some black substance was
smeared over the surface of the white
wax and remained in the scratched
marks.—New York World.
In Confidence.
Old Friend—“You should always take
your wife into your confidence. Women

De Broker—“Um—I always tell her of
my losses.”—New York Weekly.

Amulets ou Watch Guards.
It is upon watchguards nowadays that
amulets are mostly worn. They are sup
posed to possess all sorts of virtues super¬
natural. It is astonishing how many
people, even in this enlightened nine
teeth century, have faith in them. A1
though belief in ghosts and witches no
longer prevails, yet dread of the mysteri¬
ous unknown in nature retains more or
less ii fluence over every human mind
Individuals are often heard to say that
they “have no superstitions,” but in real¬
ity there is no one who does not cherish
a few secretly. The form in which this
weakness is most c> mmonly exhibited is
an unreasoning la'th that luck inheres in
certain objects. You pick up a copper
cent in the street and put it in vour poek-
etbook for a “luck penny.” It is an
amulet pure and simple.—Washington

Y. “This Spring while away from
home teaching my first term in a
country school I was perfectly
wretched with that human agony
called dyspepsia. After dieting for
two weeks and getting no better, a
friend wrote me, suggesting that I
take August Flower. The very next
day I purchased a bottle. I am de¬
lighted to say that August Flower
helped me so that I have quite re¬

There’s a wide difference
betweeri the help that's talked of
and the help that's guaranteed ’.
Which do you want, when you’re
buying medicine?
If you’re satisfied with words, yotx
I et them with every blood-purifier
ut one. That one is Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery. With
that, you get a guarantee. If it
doesn’t help you, you have your
money back. On this plan, a medi¬
cine that promises help is pretty
6ure to give it.
But it’s because the medicine is
different, that it’s sold differently.
It’s not like the sarsaparillas, the which blood
are said to be good for
in March, April, and May. it At all
seasons and in all cases, cures
permanently, as nothing else can,
all the diseases arising from a tor¬
pid liver or from impure blood.
It’s the best blood - purifier, and
it’s the cheapest, no matter how
many doses are offered for a dollar.
With this, you pay only for the
good you get.
Can you ask more?
