Gray's Name First, Bui the Great Reformer ia the Back¬ ground. Washington, May 28.--(Special) ■ A Chicago special to the World says: “Exi Congressman W. R. Morrison has every reason to be well satisfied with the result of last weeks contests in the Democratic Stale Con ventiou. He won them all. He was elected to head the delegation to Sti Louis. He blocked Gan. Black’s scheme to get the indorsement for Vice President. He showed himseif the most poweiful influence in the Democratic party of Illinois. More than that he could hardly desire. “Assistant Postmaster General Stevenson could have had the nomi nation for Governor, but he positive ly refused to take it. Col. Morrison’s supporters hit upon ex«Gov. Palmer. They uaited for him the support of every other candidate, except Land Commissioner Sparks, and he went through the convention with a rush. •‘The delegation to St. Louis, to the immeasurable surprise of the Black and Stevenson men, will go without instructions as to the Vice Presidency. Under Morrison’s di rection they will vote for Gray, until it appears he is not likely to be nomi nated. In that case they will spring an Illinois man on the convention. He is most liaely to be Col. Morri son himself. Gov, Palmer is a very strong man, perhaps the strongest that could have been named. He will make a rattling canvass whether he is elected or not.” THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Of This District Meets and Fixes a Conventirn Date. Special to tire News.

The boys, by their gentle manly deportment, at onco became the favorites of everybody, and even if they had beaten our \\ ide-Awakes Americas would have forgiven them. T bey coaid have taken the town with them if tb y had asked for it,and the knowledge of this fact should and doubtless will compensate them for the failure to carry off any of the money prizes.
