now IT WAS DONE.
Chairniin Wilson hammered the con
vention to order at 2:4-5 o’clock, and
Rev. Thomas Green, of lowa, offered
prayer in opening the convention. The
roll call for speeches nominating a can
didate for vice president was begun at

Illinois, in a stirring speech.
Connecticut sent up Delegate Vance to
second the nomination of Gray, of In

lowa was called, when her chairman arose
and said: 'lowa, gentlemen, has no

that his name shall uot he presented for

Kansas, in a fifteen-seconds sentence, de-

dared that practical politic* demanded
Gray in the second place. Young John
8. Bhca, of Kentucky, was sent up to
second Mr. Stevenson’s nomination in
behalf of a part of the delegation. His
speech was 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. Flower
arose and announced that New York bad
uo candidate to present. North Carolina
seconded the name of Stevenson, and
then there was a skip a'ong the states in
the roll until Texas whs reached, and its
voice was lifted for Gray. John Goode,
of Virginia, got on his chair and sent up
his indorsement of Stevenson. Wash
ington announced for Gray. Then came
up Delegate Bragg, of Wisconsin, to put
up the name of John L Mitchell, of that
state. Oklahoma carno under the Steven
son umbrella, and Alabama, which had
passed at the end of the roll, came up
with a second for Morse, of Michigan.
CALLING THE STATES.
Then, the nominations boiug conclud

with a skip for Morse. Arkansas came
in with her sixteen for Gray. California
split squarely in tho middle—nine each
for Gray and Stevenson. Illinois’ forty
eight plumped into tho Stevenson bas
ket, but lowa first stirred tho crowd.
“We cast our solid vote for Henry

Were rh-ora. The biggest hreize of the
roll call swept the convention when Gov
eruor Flower stood on his feet and
s'ated that New York was s did
for Stevenson—seventy two votes. The
hreez • grew to a gale of applause. It
subsided only to rise aga n when North
Carolina stepp d into the Stevenson col
umn. When Ohio shot out thirty-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 of
cheering caused a cloudburst of confu
sion over the convention floor. Wi-cou
sin cast her twenty-three votes for John
L. Mitchell. When the roll w’as finished
the figures showed for Stevenson 402 and
Gray 243 —no choice.

Then began changes. lowa Brat come

followed by Nebraska. Ohio got into

Cime only a question of time, and when
a two-thirds vote for Stevenson had
been obtained the Domination was an
nou.ced. -
CLOYING SCENES.
The usual resolutions of thanks to'tha
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 the
next national convention, provide accom
modations only for delegates, alternates,
the press, national committee, but for no
others. This was demanded in view of
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 recommendation.
At 5:20 o’clock the convention adjourn
ed sine die.
VICE-PRESIDENT STEVENSON.
Sketch of His Lire -His Public Ser
vices.
The nomination by the Chicago demo
cratic convention of Adlai E Stevenson
as the candidate of the party for vice
pre-i lent was received in Washington
with every manifestation of popular ap
proval by the democrats.
Mr. Steven-on was born in 1835, in
Christian coun'y, Kentucky, near the
birthplace of Abraham Lincoln. His
parents removed from North Carolina to
Kentucky, one of his ancestors being a
signer of the Mecklenburg declaration of
independence. At twenty yea.s of age
Mr. Stevenson graduate ! from Centre
college, Kentucky, ami married Miss L't
tie Green, daughter of the president of
that institution. Among his classmates
were Senator Blackburn, Senator David
son, of Florida; ex-Governor Mc-
Creary and many other distingu sh
ed men. Soon after graduating Mr.
Stevenson removed to Illinois, where he
studied law with the late David Davis,
and was admitttd to the bar at Bloom
ington. He rose rapidly in his profes
sion, and was elected prosecuting attor
ney of McLean county. He was a .presi
dential elect >r in 1884, and was twice
elected to the house of representatives as
a democrat from a district largely repuh
lican. He was appointed first assistant
postmaster general by Cleveland July 0,
1885. One of the last official acts of
President Cleveland waste nominate Mr
Stevenson for justice of the supreme
court of the District of Columbia,but the
republican senate failed to act upon
bis nomination. Since his retirement
from tho pcstoffiee department, be has
been engaged in the practice of law at
Bloomington, 111.
MR. CLEVELAND TALKS.
He Issues a Statement to the Press of
the Country.
At 4:80 o’clock Thursday morning,
Mr. Cleveland, through Governor Rus
sell, sent from Gray Gables tho following
statement to the press:
“1 should certainly be chargeable with
dense insincerity if I was not profoundly
touched by this uew proof of confidence
and trust of the great party to which I
belong and whose mandates claim my
loyal obedience.
“I am confident that our fellow coun
trymen are ready lo receive with ap
proval the principles of true democracy,
and I cannot rid myself of the belief
that to win success it is only necessary
J to persistently and honestly advocate
i these principles. Differences of opinion
and judgment in democratic conventions
are by no means unwholesome indica
tions, but it is hardly conceivable in view
of the importance of our succe-s to tiie
| country and to the party that there
should be anywhero among democrats
any lack of harmonious and active effort
i to win in tho campaign which opens be
j fore us. 1 have, therefore, no concern on
th it subject.
“It will certainly be my constant en
deavor to deserve the support of every
deraoernt."
DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE
Meets and Closes the Business of
the Convention.
A Chicago ilispitcb says: The demo
cratic national committee met Thursday
afternoon and closed the business con
necti d with the holding of the national
convention in Chicago and adjourned to
meet iu New York with the notification
1 committee when it assembles there to of
j llcially inform Mr. Cleveland of the ac
tion of the convention. This date will
be fixed to suit Mr. Cleve
land’s wishes. The retiring mem
bers of the national committee gave way
to their successors. Chairman Brice,
Secretary Shcerin and Treasurer Canda,
of tile old committee, were re-elected to
the s ime offices in the temporary organi
zation of ti e new committee pending
pennanent organization. Resist ions of
sympathy with the families of Messrs.
Broadwater, of Montana, and Harbour,
of Virginia, who died while members of
the national committee, were passed, and
also resolutions of thanks to various per
sons
GLADSTONE PELTED.
Struck in the Eye by a Woman Mho
Threw “For Luck.”
A London cablegram says: Mr. Glad
stone, in a speech at Cher er Saturday
night declared that his opponents were
fighting with weapons of intimid tioii,
invention and religious biyo ry, and that
for the Hist time in our history the prime
miuister was a firebrand in the Uu 1. On
his way to the meeting Gladst ne was
struck in the eye by som 'thing thrown at
him. It was aubsequ ntly revealed that
his assailant was a woman. At the con
clusion of his speech he was forced to
consult an oculist aud went back to Ha
warden with his eye bandaged. It is re
ported that the woman who threw the
inissi.e at him sad she threw it "for
luck. ’
A FATAL CLOUDBURST.
Many l’coplc Killed and Thousands in
Property Destroyed.
Dispatelns of Sunday iroui Mason City,
lowa, state tiiat complete repo ts from
the cloudbuist that laid waste many sec
tions of Chickasaw county are now in.
In Fredericksburg two persons were kill
ed nud a dozen injured, some fatally. At
Summer five persons were killed' out
right. The destruction to property and
growing crops will exceed 1300,000 in
the path of the storm. The homes of
twenty-eight farmers were completely
destroyed, and as many more partially
wrecked. Many of the farmers are iu
sured and the balance have decided to
ask for assistance.
A Monument for Polk.
The friends of the late L. L Polk,
president of the National Farmers’ Alli
ance, have formally organized a P-lk
monumental and relief association, w hose
purpose is to raise funds for a monument
over his grave at Oakland cemetery at
Raleigh, and for the relief of his family
as far as may b« thought proper.
Do Animals Commit Suicide?
There is a story of a poor cat, de
prived of her kittens, who hanged her
self in the folk 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 ttho 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 exhibite i
an extreme form of colonial sensitive
ness. If we once admit that a dog may
reason on life and death (not being a mad
dog), and exercise a has>y but rational
choice, it is plain that the whole aystem
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 ae not fond of dogs.
The ghosts of dogs have been seeu, and
are as well vouched for as any o'hers;
so, on the whole, the poor Indian may be
less untutored than the poet imagined.—
Andrew Lang in Longman’s Magasinc.
He and His Wife.
Wife—“l need a litt'e more money.”
Husband—“lt is only two days since
Wife—“ Now, see here! I want you to
understand that I wouldn’t ask for money
if I didn’t need it, and I don’t intend to
be reminded that it’s onlv two days since

nor a menial, nor a slave, to be treated

Husband—“My dear, I was merely go

Ancient Rules for Carving.
Our ancestors fully recognized the value
of good carving, and many were the rules
by whicli a carver w, s expected to be gov
erned. The ancient “Bokeof Kervyng,”
among other things, admonishis him to
touch venison only with his knife and to
“set never on fynchc, flesch, beeste ner
fowle more than two fyngera and a
thumbe.” Fingers he was naturally
obliged to use, since forks were a luxury
of later date, and were Dot in private use
until James I’s reign. Piers Gaveston,
the favorite of Edward 11, had three silver
forks for eating pears with, but this waa
regarded, no doubt, os a great and special
luxury.—Kausas 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
i nsilv written upon than the bare wood.
Where wax was used errors were readily
erased by rubbing with the blunt efid of
the piece of metal which served for a
pen. To make the writing more visible
it appears that black substance was
smeaiod 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
appreciate that sort of thing.”
De Broker—“Oh, I do that; that is in
part."
Old Friend—“ You tell her of your
gains and losso«, I presume?”
De Broker—“ Urn—l ulways tell her of
my losses.”—New York Weekly.
A Precious Ornament.
Mary (during amoving)—“Tho missus
is very partic’lar about this brickyb ic
mantel clock, an’ says we’ll havo to carry
it. I’ll take it. ”
Jane—“No, you take th’ baby an’ I’ll
carry th’ clock. You might let the
clock fall wid your awkwardness.”—

There's a Übide difference
between 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, you
get them with every blood-purifier
but one, That one is Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery. With
thUt) ton get a guarantee , If it
doesn’t help toil, yon have your
money back. On this plan, a tnedi*
cine that promises help is pretty
sure to give it.
But it’s because the medicine is
different, that it’s sold differently.
It’s not like the sarsapurillas, which
are said to be good for the blood
in March, April, and May. At all
seasons and in all esses, it cures
permanently, as nothing else catl,
all the diseases arising from a tor
pid liver or from impure blood.
It’s the heel 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?
