A stauch Democrat—Took the Stump f 0r Douglas—Turned Out 40,000 post Masters-Republlcans Looking up His Record* Bloomington, Ill., June 27.—Mr. Stevenson’s political record begins with the era of Stephen A. Douglas. 11 is true that he had talked politic? when a member of the debating class at Centre Coll ge, but that was only in an a auteur way. His real practical exp - r ience with affairs of state began in jsjs, when those grants of that genera tion, Douglas and Lincoln, were con ducting their memorable canvass in ev ery part and corner of Illinois, for the United States Senatorship, for wtic the Republican and Democratic con ventions had nominated them. Mr. Stevenson met£Mr. Douglas dur ing that campaign. He had heard sev eral of the joint debates held by Lin coln and Douglas, and one night ir Bloomington he met Mr. Douglas Stevenson was tnen just a little mop thantwenty-two years old, yet he had attained a prominence which won f him a place on the Reception Commit tee which greeted Mr. Douglas upot his arrival in Bloomington. The meet ing resulted in a lasting friendship be tween Douglas and the young lawyei. Mr. Stovqpson spoke a number ot times during that campaign, and he ha<- appeare l ever since in every contest waged between the Republican an. Democratic parties. He has sever* times been a delegate to various Stat. conventions, but never has been i member of the State or National Demo cr.dic Committee. His partner, Mr. lining, has represented him in thesi details cf political management. Mr. Stevenson has been nevertheUs a power in the Democratic organiz - tion of tho l’rairie State. He was the McClellan electoral ticket in 18C4 a delegate to the National conventic-i in lSsl and also to that of 1S92. He bu «p >keu in advocacy of every Democrat ic candidate in the State of Illino fr m the time that he made bis a] pearacce in the political world. B. lias argued, too, for every Democrat', candidate upon theXational tickets at. never has his voice beenheartl in sup port of any other cause. Took the Stump for Douglas lie took the stump for Douglas, foi McClellan, for Seymour, forGreely, f< TihVn, for Hancock, for Cleveland, am 1 again in IssS for Cleveland, and now Li will take it for Cleveland and Stever son. I: was on June 30, 1884, when Adial fining Stevenson first saw Cleveland the man with whom his destinies now so intimately entwined. It was in tho capitol on the hill at Albany, whe the Committee of Notification waited upon Mr. Cleveland to notify him of hi nomination. The result of that meet iug was similar to the result following the meeting between Douglas and Stc vvnson in Bloomington in 1858. Douglas had become interested in the young lawyer and Cleveland, twenty six j ears later, became as tborougbl} interested in the Illinois leader. The outcome of it all was that Mr. Cleve land, on July 7, 1835,J appointed Mr Stevenson First Assistant PostMaater General. Turned O .t 40.000 Post Masters. When First Assistant Postmaster G.ncral Stevenson went into ollioe he Land 10,000 Republican post masters enjoying the profits of many years of Republican dominion. D lieu First Assistant Postmaster- <■ ner.il SL-.ve.iEOU went out of Ollice he I f. forty thousand loyal JeffcrsoniaL -k-ribbed Jacksonian Democrats tfe place of ihe forty thousand Itepnl I lu-aiiE-. He had acted up; n the princi ph that “l'o the victors belong tin What, then, more natural, what, then, 1 more logical, than that those guardians should be selected from that party which had dictated the line of action to be pursued and had placed in control the man who was to be held responsible. Does Not Pose as a Headsman. “I do not wish to pose as a headsman, man with an axe in his band, but I do wish to have it distinctly understood that public ollice being a public trust should be held and performed by trus tees who are in sympathy with him who ultimately is to be held responsible.” The story of how Mr. Stevenson treated Democrats while he was First Assistant PostmaBter-General ought to be familiar by this time to everyone in the land. There was no doorkeeper to the en trance of his office, there was no red tape, no cards, and he never refused to see a man who came there after office hours and wanted to transact some Democratic business and take a train that afternoon. While Mr. Stevenson was First As sistant Postmaster-Genera 1 , he-made friends in forty thousand towns and oities in the United States. There iBn’t hamlet, be it ever so small, where he can go and not find a loyal supporter. Republican Spies Looking up His Re cord. Spies—Republican spies, emissaries acting in the interest of Benjamin Har rison and Whitelaw Reid—have been in Bloomington today endeavoring to find vulnerable points in Mr. Stevenson’s Democracy. They have failed. They have met re publican friends who have told them tbat they had better give up the job. Mr. Stevenson has been a Democrat Mr. Stevenson is a Democrat, and his friends believe that he will be the Dem ocratic vice-President along with the Democratic President, Grover Cleve land. Those who have closely read thi pvj-inpirs will remember that becaue |of 'hi- fait Tammany gave its hearty | p,! PP *rt to Mr. Stevenson at Cuicago. Those who wire, in the convention |h„li will remember what a thundering clamor arose when one of the speakers l*hoh. l;.ed to iiouiiuateMr. Stevenson |io tbe Vice-Presidency, declared tbat P ,llt: cne Democratic National Admin • ’-ration sii.ee tho war he had been the Miihoiiiinrnt of the doctrine which Wil f iam i.

A Very Queer Looking Couple Wed ded at Clarksville. Clarksville, Tcnn., June 27.—Two marriages, both out of the ordinary, and one of them particularly so. occurred here today. W. C. Moss, and Miss Lilian E. Clary were a young run away couple from District No. 4, of Mon‘- gomery connty. After the ceremony the groom begged the clerk not to rc cord their names and visited every newspaper office to prevent the mar ringe from being given publicity, so as to keep the old folks in the dark as lor g as possible. The people at the court-house were afterward witnesses to the marriage cf Ely Dobbs and Susan Edwards, who came all the way from Christian Coun ty, Kentucky, this morning. The ap pearance of tbe contracting parties was enough to make all present feel sad to think that a couple would venture into the marriage estate in the condition they were. The bride was barefooted with uncombed hair, and had hardly sufficient clothing of the commonest sort to hide her person, while the groom looked like a Mississippi river deck hand just off from a long trip. Yet, after being made man and wife, this couple walked out of the principal streets of the town, looking as happy and contented as possible. ■■ i • ■ ^ Tbe Blttn Is Nut l>ea<l. San Francisco, June 27.—A woman named Cline has made a statement to the police here to tho effect that aftei tbe Moffat bank robbery, three years ago, tbe notorious coufidance man.

She also says that Pine did not die in New York two years ago, as reported a: the time, but that he secured a death certificate from a physician, and after being placed in a eoflin he was shipper to Baltimore. Pine, the woman says, is at present traveling in Germany. A Hot Fight la Kansas. Topeka, June 27.—The nomination Oi Governor Lyman U. Humphrey by th Republicans and Thomas J.

MW Cleveland Said to Have Been Im posed Upon. BUZZAJRD’S Bay, Mass., June 27.—It is Whispered about the village that some one at Gray Gables has imposed upon Mr. Cleveland’s generosity daring the past few days by repeating every re mark be made during the balloting at the Chicago cou van tion. Private letters are said to have been sent from Buzzard’s Bay to certain X -w York politicians containing alleged in formation of opinions expressed by Mr. Cleveland which were not intended for general circulation. Where the leak is, nobody-has ven tured to express an opinion; but Mr. Cleveland is not in the best of humor, and bo has taken vigorous measures, il ls said, to prevent a repetition of th.- offense. ; He has had a council chamber co : atructed with walls and ceilings s<> deadened tbat no sound can pierc them. Upon investigation this repor. verified. Carpenters were workiu all ths evening building a double ceiling to Mr. Cleveland’s private study a:i . staffing handfuls of mineral wool be tween the double floors thus found. I., was in this room that the dispatch.' • had been received on the night of th nomination, and here thut Govern ! Hassell and Mr. Cleveland had consum ed. The telegraph operator went uw..,< Saturday. Putting two and two to gether, your correspondent became co,. viuced that there had been a leak som.- where. The departure of thetelegra : operator, the position of the servati'' < room, the haste to put in the doul. ceilings—certainly looks as if Mr. Cleveland expects important visitor early this week with whom he propose to talk without having eaves droppers around him. -- Thi* Explains It. New York, June 27.—Tbe explan i- tion of the dispatch above is probably in be found in the fact that the telegraph operator who haudled messages in Mr. Cleveland’s library at Gray Gables w.i - in the employ of a newspaper of this city and was in a position to report Mr. Cleveland’s e”ery movement in h- paper. The same man has served 1: i - saper in a similar capacity before, bn t was not thought tbat the paper wou impose upon Mr. Cleveland, BLEW OUT HIS BRAINS, Suicide of a Prominent Man In Char leston, South Carolina- Charleston, S. C., June 20.—Dr. Arthur B. Rose, one of the oldest a: d most infl lential citizens of this town, committed suicide at 4 o’clock yester* d«y morning by blotting liisbrains oiu. The tragedy occurred on the Folonul 'akc, a pretty pond and terraoe in tin fashionable portion cf the city. It was a determined act, the top of the sui cide’s head being almost blown off. Dr. Rose was over seventy years of ago, and <t is difficult t j assign a cause for the deed. He was president of the Sou'll Carolina Agricultural Society, the old- e t agricultural soeiety in the United States; also president of the Phosphate Miners’ Exchacgo of this city ;also pre - idem of the corporation of the Unita< - ian church, one of tho oldest churches f thst denom'nation in the State, and had served the city as alderman' for many terms. He ia reported to b- wealthy, although it is iumored that be has been borrowing largo sums of mon ey recently. His intim&te connection with the business interests in the city and his high social standing, as well as his ripe old age, surround the deed with the deepast mystery. It Did Not Hold Good and Builnw Went on iu Concre**. Washington, June 27.—The thir.l party people made the point of no qa rum and forced a call of the house. Tin house showed more than a quorun present, and the Democracy, solid inth saddle, began the transaction of busi ness in a manner worthy to win th confidence of the country.

St. Joseph, Mo., June 27.—Consider able indignation has been aroused here by an attempt upon the part of specula tors to purchase the frame house in which the noted bandit and train rob ber, Jesse James, was killed some year.- ago by Bob ForJ, ami remove it to Chi cago for exhibition during the Worlds Fair. The citizens are a unit in con detuning tlio scheme, and threaten to barn the house if any attempt is made to remove it. A petition is being circu lated and generally signed by tbe citi zens asking tbe state board of Worlds Fair commissioners to exercise their in flueuce to have the national board ex clude the house - from the World’s Fair grounds. SHOT FROM AMBUSH. John Lott Killed in Coffee County, -Tho Murderer Unknown, Douglas,Get., June 27.—News of the murder of John Lott, colored, near Shepherd, Ga., Coffee county, reached here yesterday. He was ambushed and shot while returning from Douglas ac companied by a negro school teacher and a negro boy. The school teacher was riding in the buggy with John and the boy was riding a mule just behind. The murderers were secreted iu the jam of a fence at the old Gaskin place, six miles from Douglas. Only one gun was fired, but it hit all three of the negroes. John was hit ,in the breast with twen ty-one buckshot and fell from the buggy and died almost instantly. Tbe school teacher was bit in tbe right arm and shoulder with three shot, but was not hurt much, and the boy was hit on the fingers. The teacher and boy failed to discover whether the murderers were white men or negroes. Tbe coroner s jury failed to find any clue and rendered a verdict in accord' ance with the facts as above stated. The murder was committed about sunset. Time for Dlaseiuiion*- to Ccaae. Albany, V. Y. t Juno 27.—In an in terview on the situation Governor Flower said tbat the New York delegates at Chicago faithfully carried out the in structions of the New York Democracy. The sentiment of the convention, how ever, said the governor, was strongly in favor of Mr. Cleveland’s nomination, and the Democracy of the state will work earnestly anddoyally for this elec tioy. It is time for all internal dissen sions‘in the party to cease and all Dem- ooYats should .work harmoniously fox party success. If you want a good Thresher lor En gine call on W. L. Dobbs, Ag’t for Anltman, Taylor & Co. the blame, and if he is elected we will get no credit. However, we will have to turn in and work for the tioket ” “If Burke C ckrau g >t up in a Tam many Hall convention and made a great speech against the slate be wouldj no: beat it. A good delegate nowadays is bomb-proof sgiinst argument.” “Dick Croker will see to it that w< organize a Cleve'a id club in every elec tion district, and we have the machine tbat can d > it.” “I will bet that 'Dry Dollar’ Sullivan will stump the Fourth and Sixth waide for Cleveland.” When Cleveland was nominated for President in 1884 he was bitterly op posed by John Kelly, who was then the big chief of the old machine. Kelly and his followers sulked in their tents for weeks before declining to come out ia his support. It was late in the sum mer when Tammany Hall’s banner, with Cleveland’s name upon it, wiu flung out. It may also bo remembered that tlie Tammany Hall orguiizaiion of tbe Four eentii Assembly District indorsed Clev-- and’s nomination a few days aft> r ewouthe prize. Leader Kelly was very angry at John Reilly, the district leader, for taking this action without consulting him. He threatened to di:- cipline Reilly and ail hiB followers. “You should have waited until you knew what the entire organiAation would do,” said Kelly to Reilly. “Any how, districts should not act on their own l ooks.” “Mr. Kelly,” replitd Reilly, “Tam many Hall will be compelled to indoi se him, for there will not be anything fi ft of us. Wo have not yet recovered from the 187# bolt. We might as well ome out for the ticket now.” Kelly was too angry to continue the conversation and he issued orders to his other district leaders not to follow the example of the Fourteenth District Committee until they had heard from him. v Now Richard Croker is leader of Tammany Hall. The Cleveland-Stev enson bancor was in front cf Tammai y Hall two days after the ticket was nom inated, Several district organizations, including the Fourteenth, have held mect.ngs and indorsed theticket and t le leaders have not been “called down.” An artist will be busy today painting the portraits of Cleveland acd Steven son ou the Tammany Hull banner. As is now well known, State Senator William L. Brown and ex-Senator Eu gene S. Ives were at the Chicago con vention shoutiDg for Cleveland. There w re other prominent Tigers who ihoi ght G-at Cleveland’s nomination wou'd be the best thing for Tammany Halt but who 'nought it would not be good policy to follow the example cf Brovu ai.d Ives unless the organization as a vvhob- deserted David B. Hill. It : s rat 'er a safe bit to make tha' May r Grant bas not shed many tears of regret over the failure of Senator Hill to be nominated. Then there are friends of Commissioner Gilroy who are quietly sr.ying tbat he never took a bold stan* 1 against Cleveland. He is an or gan ziticn man right up to the handle and w ill follow the lead of the majority of tbe leaders, although he may think his opinio a the right one. And while John D. Crimmins has a powerful influence in Tammany Hall and is a warm personal and political friend of Leader Croker, it is not un likely that he thought Senator Hill stood no chance of securing the norni nation. Then there were hundreds of the rank and file of Tammany Hall at Chicago who were convinced that the nomina tion ot Cleveland would prevent the nomination of an independent Demo cratic county ticket in this city this fall. Here are some conversations between Tammany Hall politicians overheard at Chicago: “Cleveland will astonish everybody by the vote he will get in New York City.” “I will give Cleveland as hearty a support as 1 would have given Hill. 1 think that after what Hill did for na it was oar duty to stand by him. Tam many Hall should never desert a friend.” “We will work harder for Cleveland than we would have worked for Hill, because if Cleveland is defeated by New York his friends all over the Union will forever blame ns. We have got to elect him.” “If the Syracuse chaps and the Mug wump press stop calling us hard names and stop saying that we will sell out Cleveland be will have 70,000 majority in New York City.” “Do you think we would be disloyal to Cleveland and hurt the future of Tammany Hall ?” “There goes Wauhope Lynn, who succeeded the late Peter Mitchell on the Civil Court bench. Lynn has been a Cleveland man on the quiet, but as an organization man he could not telk for publication.” . “Wait till you see the send-off we will give Grover at our Fourth of July cele- b ation.” “Albany, Troy and Buffalo politics should not interfere with tbe politics of Tammany Hall. It might hurt us if we get in it big doses too frequently.” “If Cleveland is defeated we will get POINT PETER GOSSIP. What Is Going on at Thl9 Thriving Village.

On receipt of the news of Cleveland’s nomination, a mighty shout was sent up by the boys here. This section has been for him all along, and we feel like we have, in a great measure, helped to save the c nntry once nura. Miss Jannie Broach, who has bem attending the Normal college at Mil- ledgeville, since September last, is now at home to speud vacation. She speaks in high terms cf the grand work this coll ge is doing-fer the daughters cf Georgia, and hopes to see a larger at tendance next term. Third partyism ought to die now. A man who cannot get on our Chicago platform, ought to go square over to the Republican party. The hair split ting business should stop.

French Lick Spring*, Iud., Jane 26. —Judge Walter Q. Gresham will not be tbe standard-bearer of the People’s Party. He is at this salubrious resort in Southern Indiana, with his estimable wife, enjoying the luxury of perfect weather. “I have not permitted and shall not permit the use of my name at the Oma ha Convention,” said he. “I have no right to assume that tl e honor will be tendered me, but I will say my name will not go before the con vention with my consent.” “Have yon told any of the leaders of the Peopl- ’s party that you would ac cept if nominated ?” asked the corres pondent. “I have not,” Regarding the People’s party plat form the Judge said be believed in the larger portion of it, but, but not in the sub-treasury scheme.

A meeting was bald and over .200 delegates, represent ing the local chapters of abont 140 soci eties, including the Odd Fellows, Free masons, Foresters, Knights ef Honor, Knights of Labor and numerous mntual benefit and aid associations, were in at' tendance. Schwab wrote a letter to the meeting which concludes as follows: Our mistakes as to our methods of agi tation may be tranquilly admitted as true and we cannot deny that we committed grave asid fatal errors. The court did not even accuse Fielden of bding the direct cause of the catastrophe on Haymarket. Resolutions expressive of the senti ments of the meeting were passed. 8A8E BALL RECORD.
