CirSBATSS. The Situation In-Florlda. It is altogether likely that Florida, in the coming Presidential contest, will become the scene of a tierce political engagement. It is well enough to glance at the condition of the forces likely to be engaged. The population of Florida if mixed, politically and otherwise. There are Georgians alone in her bordera, while all other Southern States are . . . heavilv represented.

A vbry hot spell, now, would he at tended with mucli sickness, and this seems to he the outlook. It will take a good many days spent In hard work ,to replace the foolish waste of the “glorious Fourth.” The bottom of the Grant A Ward swindling hole has not yet been reach ed. It is doubtful whether the plum' met of human skill will be able to sound its depths. To succeed at any profession, a man must love it. The labor of indifference can never compare, in the matter of fruits, with the labor of love. Let young men note the fact. Nor to be outdone by France, Russia has a plague of her own, over on the Southeastern border. Between the two plagues, Europolias the promiso of a fearful harvest of death. Egypt has a superabundance of red tape and a scarcity of soldiers. The former isn’t very effective in military campaigns, except in promoting the de feat of the patty that uses it. The statement of Dr. Koch, the ccl- brated German doctor, that the cholera in France is of the Asiatic variety, and that it will go everywhere, is not re assuring. It is advisable to prepare to meet it. The promise of an abundance of candidates for Congress in the first dis- district is being faithfully kept. There are already four in tho field, and more than half of the counties have not yet been heard from. The Southern Democrats wouldn’t object to Butler's being made perma nent Governor of Massachusetts; but when it comes to voting for him for , President of the United States—“that ' alters the case.” The cholera icourge in France gatb era itrength aa it goes. A worse en emy than the Chinese is within the gates of the Republic, and its pathway will be strewn with tho wrecks ruined and desolate homes. In the smallness of death rates, Ma con Is the second city of the United States. The rate here can he further reduced by a stricter regard to the de mands of sanitation. Now is a good time to set about making oar city first in the list. Ms. Blaixe has declared himself In favor of the most advanced liberality in tho matter of pensions. It is not diffi cult to understand what woald go with “the surplus” if he and his methods should dominate the country tor the next four years. Sanitary precautions are often pow erless to prevent the attacks of epidem ics. That they may temper the vio lence of a plague is reasonable enough to justify the expense and the labor in volved in making them as complete as the suggestions of human skill can de vise. settlers in Florida, men oi all political complexions. In addition to theso are the old so-called Bourbons of the State, the large “Cracker” element and a large population of negroes who have been drawn in hv the many railroad de velopments and business extensions, as laliorera. As between the two parties, Demo cratic and Republican, the dividing line runs in a zigzag and varying course. In some instances it is sharply defined; in others it is barely visible; and others not to ho seen at all. The Northern and Western people, it seems, usual with emigrants coming South, align themselves in State elections with the best people of their adopted homes and cast the popular ticket, but in Presidential campaigns for the most part, if Repubicans, side with their old friends. It was through the assistance these Liberals that the Democrats have been enabled in the two recent State elections, to sustain their ticket. seems that wisdom would have die tated to the Democrats of the State, that this large and friendly element should have been cemented to the par- bv a liberal recognition of its sen-i ces, and indeed an effort was made to accomplish that result, which failing, lias created a rapture, and it is assert- , alienated.from the party candid ate a number of men upon whose sup port the new ticket relied. Nor is this all. Another cause for dissatisfaction is the Disston land sale, whereby it is stated the State was led dispose of its four million acres— any the whole of the public domain for twenty-five cents per acre to par ties nho ate selling it at figures from five to forty times as large. This dis satisfaction exists principally among the “Crackers,” who depend upon the lands for pasturage, and from the poorer people, who find lands placed beyond their reach. These empha size their dissatisfaction with charges against the administration which, whether they be true or ground less, have a tendency to weaken the party and to build up the Independents. Amongst the Republicans, however, there are also dissensions, the negroes seeking to lead, and bolting when un successful. The Cuban vote, though numbering hut eight hundred, becomes an important factor when it is remem bered that the last State election was carried by less than four hundred ma jority, and when it is further remem bered that only a third of this vote is assuredly Democratic. Viewed from a distance, Florida pol itics seem in a bad condition fora Pres idential year. They are fall of con- llicting interests, diversified opinions, passion, distrust and recrimination, the only ray of light being the fact iliat the Republicans are in almost as unsettled a condition as the Democrats. What will be the effect should a large campaign fund lie thrown into the State and a good leader lie sent in to unite the native Republican, the Northern, Western, Caban and negro vote, is hardly a matter of doubt. The only action that can eave Florida to the Democrats, in our opinion, is prompt union and harmony on the part of the leaders. And In this there is an opportunity for the display of un selfishness and patriotism seldom of fered to modem politicians. Let Flor id* Democrats, laying aside their differ- encee, hold a conference of peace, else mav, as in ’7C, the State become the national battleground, and defeat again stare the party in the face. a little more beer might bo used. But when a fugitive is undoubtedly guilty the method seems very attractive to those who have experienced the law’s delay. Had Mr. Benzine been sent after Mr. hno in Canada, doubtless ere this ho would have double-quicked him into New York, and avoided the diffi cult technicalities - of international law. An Eccsntrlo Snxton. Mr. Labeau, of Montreal, with the assistance of Mr. Justice Mathiere and a Mr. Turcotte, lias distinguished him self in court and before the country as an eccentric church sexton. Labeau was employed at St. Laurent Catholic Church, and the peculiar net of eccen tricity which brought him before the public so prominently was his failure to present to Mr. Turcotte the contri bution box one Sabbath morning, al though he honored every one else on his beat with the delicate compliment. Mr. Turcotte felt himself insulted. He read in the omission of Mr. Labeau a determined effort to convey to the con gregation the impression that he was saving time and losing no cash. He even fancied that Mr. Labeau's nose was slightly elevated, and carried with a kind of he-won’t-contribute-and-if- lie-does-it-will-he-a-copper-with-a-hole- in-it air. This was why Sir. Turcotte felt insulted; and upon this theory he brought suit against the sexton fpr damages. The case ' finally reached the superior court, and the plaintiff, who sued for MOO, got a judgment for $5 and costs. Mr. Tur cotte probably intended to sue for $200, but generously credited tho $10 he had intended to contribute upon the esti mated damages to his feelings Shall Ceorgln be Represented at the World's Exposition f We call attention to the letter of oar Atlanta correspondent in to-day’s issue, outlining the plan for an organization, looking to a proper exhibit from this Stato at the New Orleans exposition. Every State in the South, we believe, except Georgia, has made an appro priation to pay tho expenses of its own exhibits. Our Legisla ture would doubtless have taken similar action, but for a provision in our State constitution prohibiting it. It is of the utmost importance that Georgia should make a full display of her agricultural, mineral, manufac tured and other products. It is plain that this work cannot bo accomplished by independent, indi vidual effort. It will take combination and a thoroughly organized movement to do justice to the State. In Hon. D, C. Bacon as Stato Com missioner we have assurance of all that intelligent and energetic action in this office will accomplish. The assistants in the several Con gressional districts arc at work. Ma jor Couper, of Brunswick, has prepared the plan of organization embodied in the letter of our Atlanta correspon dent. We have not had time to examine it in detail. It appears, however, to of fer an easy and efficient organization, and we trust that valuable time will not be lost before it is practically adopted, Let the people of Macon and of Bibb [CONTINUED FROM WBST PAOE.1 until California was reached, when Sir. Spencer, of California, said: "The State of California wilt have to aak the indut- ice of the convention. We bare a name present for nomination. The gentle man who is to present the name is tembo- rarily absent. We ask that the State of California be passed for the moment.” The Chair—"Its ball be *o done.” The clerk then called the State of Col orado *and the Stato of Connecticut, hut received no response. UAYARD A SAME FBESENTED. When the State of Delaware was called, there was an immediate outbreak of cheers. After the uproar had subsided, George Grsy, of Delaware, came to the platform and addressed the convention. He said he had been instructed to present the dame of a man worthy to receive the nomination. He did so under a realizing sense of the great opportunity which God himself, he reverently believed, bad given, and which should not pass away unimproved. The Republican nomination had Hung defiance into tlie face of American manhood and bad shocked tliecon-clenceof the best men in the Republican party. Such a nomina tion waa a sign of the decadence of that great organization, not a sign of increasing strength. The Democracy called for a candidate who had been tried in the. bal ance and bad never been found wanting. The Democracy demanded a statesman whose wisdom and experience were known. It demanded a leader whose chivalric courage would never falter, and who could and would bring to the dust the plumed knight of false pretense and o( personal dishonor.* It demanded a man with a character which would defy the malignant tongue of slander. It demanded a man who should be in his public and private character the very antithesis and opposite of the nominee of the Republicans. [Cheers] The man who was all this and more, and whose name was now leaping from their hearts tqtheir mouths was Thomas Francis Bayard, [fond cheers,] Bayard as the candidate would make no mistake; his name would still the voice of faction; he would carry every doubtful State, and seal; the other as leprous with accusation and covered and lettered all over. [Ap plause.] When the forces of Oliver Croin. well were lying on their arms awaiting battle, they frequently engaged in angry disputation concurring matters of faith, but when the order to charge came down the line from old Ironsides and the forces of Prince P.upert were In front, they for got their differences and had no thought but victoiy until success crowued tlie arms of the Protector. So when the chairman of the convention would shortly give to the Democratic lioeti the command to charge, all along the line they would lay aside differences county take hold of the matter at once. Wo owe it to ourselves, as well as the State, to contribute freely of time and money for the success of this important undertaking. Georgia lias not been creditably represented at any It is pleasant to reflect that all this exporitlon that has teen held since the happened in Canada. Such a frightful war ' 11 for the State precedent does not exist in American legal records.

Tlie United States sexton and substitute climb over tenches, invade the organ loft, scour the vestibule and ratable around behind the choir, before they will give up the chase for funds to educate the heathen or pay for the preacher’s coal. Nor ought the precedent to be borrowed. For while few persons would consider themselves injured by the failure of the box passer to thrust the receptacle tinder their noses, and to move until the afilictcd pew-holder had at tracted the attention of everybody around by his efforts to wave him off, when it became known that damages could be obtained, plenty of them would endeavor, through the courts, to make the sexton pay over enough to serve for a year's contributions, should he omit the customary cour tesy But until the United States courts adopt the Cnnadiap precedent, it may be confidently asserted that Mr. Labeau would find a safe refuge In this section, and if the churches will employ him would receive an occasional “tip” from prominent church folks. The fact is, some of onr congregations yearn for Mr. Labeau. What seems to have damaged a Canadian would make the head of a family down this way join in the Uoxology with unmistaka ble signs of rapture. and we appeal to them to go to work and make such an exhibit as the State can make if the varied evidences of her enterprise and development are gath ered together and properly displayed. While the railroads of the State are furnishing the treasurer money with which to pay the July interest on the State debt, the Albany Vedium is ac tively engaged in getting up a “poor house” for their final resting place. It will, of course, expect* to ran the es tablishment. The opinions of men are often warped by their preferences. Thi» is especially the case in matters political. When a man asserts that Citizen Blank is too weak to carry this or that SUtte, It may safely be believed that the speaker’s low opinion of Citizen Blank’s abilities in the carrying line, is doe to his per sonal preference for some other candi date. The very beet of politiciani is apt to be weak at thia point. “Sealed proposals will be received at this office until September the 1st for the building of a poor house for the Georgia railroads,” says the Albany Medium. It is a very successful sar casm, but a very poor argument to show that the railroads are not entitled to tlie right of appeal from the decis ions of tha Railroad Commission to the courts. All other corporations have tho right to fake their wrongs to the courts and demand redress. Why should the railroad* be made an excep tion? .

Mr. George Benzine, fan explosive Frenchman, os Ida name would partly indicate, has illustrated the workings of a new writ of extradition just pat ented by himself, which would fill a vacancy in our wants of long standing, if it could be legislated Into our code. Mr. Benzinekeeps a barber shop, and besides being a razor artist, is a collec tor of coins, and something of s philan thropist. Recency he befriended a desti tute man, carrying him to his room and doing all in his power to make him feel comfortable. While engaged in this charitable occupation, it became necessary for Mr. Benzine to go out for beefsteak, and it was during thia ab sence that a coincidence occurred which made it necessary for Mr. Benzine to in vent an extra writ of extradition. The coincidence wax the simultaneous de parture of the barber's wallet contain ing $45, the finest coin in his col lection, and his guest. Mr. Benzine did not even know the ingrate's name, but was not disheart ened. Instinctively he turned into New Jersey, and at Fort Lee came up with him. His first act was to heal the breach. The two foreigners embraced. Then Mr. Benzine, resuming his benevo lent programme, so rudely broken into by the coincidence, called for beer and finally succeeded in filling the thirsty, emigre. These preliminaries arranged Mr. Benzine abandoned philanthropy, lie took bis countryman outside knocked him in the head with a stick, sat down upon him, tied his hands, marched him to the river, procured a boat, carried the fellow across, march ed him to the station and made a special deposit of him. There are instances in which Mr. Benzine’s extraordinary wit would not be desirable. A man merely suspect* *1 of crime ought not to te k The Eleetrlo Ctrl. Mies Lula Ilurst, the electric or mag netic girl, has reached New York, and the great dailies are full of her exploits. Without exception they give her credit for making good her claims, bat differ widely in their estimates of the power siie possesses. The most common theory is that the girl has unconscious ly tremendous nervous, or as one ex presses it, hysterical strength, and her fiue, large corded wrists, her grip and movements are cited in support of this theory. The Timet, however, inter views the celebrated Dr. Hammond, who declares that the apparent feats of strength are performed by "sugges tion that is, the person experimented on is in reality under the will of the girl, and does not, despite his strug gles, really resist her. Miss Ilurst, under any explanation, is a wonderful girl; the strength these gentlemen concede, it would appear, Is really more mystifying than any mag netic or electric explanation. The girl who can lift a 200-pound man, chair and all, with the palms of her hands under the rounds of bis chair; who can, with laughing ease, tumble strong men and skeptical reporters over chairs, footlights and orchestras, Is not to lie sniffed at. All there feats are ac knowledged. Indeed, Georgia thinks all the more of Miss Hunt, since she has become a phenomenally strong girl. Ice Cream Poisoning. As usual during the summer season, the press furnishes numerous instances of ice cream poisoning, so called, in which frequently people are killed, ar rests made and expensive ananlyses called for. Tho New York papers are now full of an wholesale poisoning in Brooklyn, in which the Fourth of July ice cream comes in for general condem nation. The Txlzouaph Is not prepared to say that poison has never been admin istered by means of ico cream; but never has an instance of poisoning by such mennsbeen proved to our satisfac tion. The most plausible theory by which the sudden sickness of ice cream eaters is explained, was given years ago by a Macon physician who made the matter a subject of care ful study. The violent illness some times caused by Ice cream he thought to be the result of fermentation in the stomach, of milk not altogether fresh, Many persons are not careful to use only perfectly fresh tnllk. Others make up their custards and allow them to stand too long. The result is, that when tlie fermentation, arrested by freezing, under the Influence of the warm stomach Is renewed, violent cholera morbus is produced. Care in the selection of your ice cream will no doubt he the test preventive. would carry every doubtful State, and would make some Republican States doubt ful. [Applause.] Enthusiasm would take the place of apathy and would grow and stilt grow as the leaves were falling until dreary November was made ri|ie and glo- riousby the ere of Democratic victory. [Loud cheers.] The nomination of Mr. Bayard was elo quently seconded by Mr. Hooker, of Mis sissippi. HENDRICKS XAMES MCDOXALD. When the State of Indiana waa called, Mr, Hendricks, of that State, came to the platform amid loud applause. He said that the people demanded a change in the management ot Federal affairs, and that if the convention would give them half an opportunity they would execute that pur pose in the election of a President at the coming fall election. [Cheers.) He be lieved that the nominee of this convention would become tlie chosen President of the United States—tlie first Inaugurated Deni, ocratic President in twentv-four years. [Cheers.] He spoke of the official corrup tions of the Republican party, referred to Secretary Chandler's recent testimony be fore the Senate committee, in which he •aid that the defalcations in one of his bureaus would not be less than $03,000. and yet, forty years ago, an administration had (gone down because of a defalcation of $00 000, and that the only one. In re gard to the civil service, he said that there were men of ability in the public service, and he would not ask that they should he driven out of office. None but such should be continued] none but the fittest should survive. Referring to the foreign policy of the government, he said it would be a proud npsctacle if this republic, to strong, so secure, should lead the nations in the movement for permanent peace and for the relief ot the people everywhere from standing armies and wasteful war. He then cams down to the main subject of Ids speech, and suggested for the consider ation ot the convention a citizen of the State of Indians, Joseph McDonald. [Cheers.] He sketched McDonald's career and declared that It he were In the White House no man who would go to see him there would find fault with the candid and frank manner of his reception. He did not speak for himself alone or for McDon ald alone, but for the great 8tate of Indi ana, which had instructed her delegates to present McDonald’s name to this con vention. No matter where the Democratic candidate for President lived, Indiana had been alwajrs found true.bnt that tactahpuld need not trouble about Indiana, as her vote was solid. McDonald was a man ot good Judgment, ot high character, and his name was presented by a great State. In present! “ ‘ Justice. Gen. Black, of Illinois, seconded the nomination of McDonald.

Cheers and hisses were about equally balanced, but it waa announced by Mr. Abbott tiiat Muuadimetls had no nomination to make at this time. CLEVELAND ENTERED. When the State of New York was called there was a good deal of cheering and waving of hats and handkerchiefs on the part principally ot the spectators in the galleries. At 3:55 Mr. Lockwood, of New York, came up to the platform to put in nomination Cleveland. lie said that the responsibility which he felt was made greater when he remembered that the richest page of American history had been made up from the records of Democratic administrations, and remembered that the outrage ot 1S7C was still unavenged. No man had a greater respect than he for the honored names presented to the con vention, but the world was moving, and new men, who had participated but little in politics, were coming to the front. L heers.) Three yean ago he bad the onor, In the city of Buffalo, to present the name of the une gentleman for the office of mayor. Without hesitancy the name of Grover Cleveland had been accepted as the candidate. [Applause In the galleries and from a portion ot the delegates.) The re sult of that election and of the hold! that office was that in less than months the Stato of Now York fonnd itself in a position to want such a candidate, and when in the convention of 1882 his name was pre sented tor the office of Governor of the State of New York, some of the people knew that that meant honest government, that it meant pure government, that It meant Democratic government, and it was ratified. [Applause.) Now the Demo cratic State of New York came and asked that there be given to the Independent and Democratic voters ot the country, the young men of the country, new blood, and presented the namo of Graver Cleve land [Cheers.] The nomination of Cleveland waa sec- onded by Mr. Harrison, of Illinois. Six weeks ago, the cry was Tilden and reform now it was Cleveland and reform. [Cheers.. The Democrats of Illinois believed that the mantle oi Samuel J. Tilden had fallen and rested gracetally on the shoulders i Grover Cleveland. He knew there was taction fight against him; he knew that a great church would oppose him on relig ious grounds. Now, that church never al lowed its ministers' voice to lie heard in the pulpit preaching politics. [Cheers and cries ot “never,”] so it was said that the Irish would knife him. Were the Irish ever known to knife the Democratic party except tor good reason ? A prominent Irish politician o( Chicago, John Forsythe, shouted out from among the audience an angry denial and the words "yes" and “no” were several times exchanged between him and Harrison. Finally order waa restored and Harrison proceeded with bis speech. He closed with the assurance that tlie nomination oi Cleveland would asatat the Democrats to win next November. The nomination oi Cleveland was-alio seconded by Mr. Jones, of Minnesota. Thomas F. Grady, o( New Y'ork, then came to the platform. The point of order was raised that unless Grady was going to ■tcond the nomlnkttou he was not now in order, bat the chairman overruled the oint and said that as he recognized rady, that gentleman must be heard, Grady then proceeded to address the con- ventton. He said be should be glad to sec ond Cleveland's nomination, except that he knew that gentleman could not carry the State of New York, A sure and un erring test ot that fact was that the last Democratic convention of New Y'ork was equally divided against him and the dele gates at large were divided between bta friends and opponents. At this point Mr. Bragg, of Wisconsin, ike a point of order, ho a nomi Allen roee to rusk Es-Covernor Hubbard a Ceoralnn, While many Georgians were disap pointed in the failure to elect Hon. A O. Bacon to the position of temporary chairman, of the national Democratic convention at Chicago, they find pleas ure in the fact that the person so hon ored was at least a Georgian. Ex-Gov ernor Richard B. Habbard, of Texas, was bom in Jasper county, twelve miles above Monticello. lie graduated from Mercor University at Fenfield, in this State, in 1854, in the same class with Prof. Steed. Prof. Sanford, who yet remains with the university, was one of the faculty at tiiat time, and claims Habbard as one of his brightest pupils. resenting that name all ah* asked was was drowned by shouts and yells from the galleries. When there waa lome degree of order, Mr. Bragg stated bis point to be that the order of business was the nomination anil seconding of candidates. The chairman said a similar point of order had been made in the St. Louis convention and sustained, bat he bad been disposed to be exceedingly lenient In allosring the course ot his re marks, supposing that Mr. Grady would corns to the point of making a nomination, but nnless he was about to do so the chair would be obliged to sustain the point of order. Mr. Manning, of New Y’ork, chairman of the New Y’ork delegation, asked unani ln5; The Vote Required. The question is frequently asked: “How many votes most a candidate re ceive to obtain the nomination in the Democratic Convention now sitting at Chicago?” There are 802 votes in the convention, and working under the rales which governed the convention of 1880 it requires two-thirds, or 534$j votes, in this convention to nominate. If the District of Columbia and each Territory are allowed two votes as rec ommended, these figures will be in creased to 549)j. pie, They also cedents, known of all men, conatUnted a satisfactory answer to all reasonable ob jection. They needed a man whose views on all public questions could be fonnd wlihout a search warrant and determined without an inquetL McDonald was] such a man. He bad favored the remonetiza tion of silver and the saving ot the Pacific coast from the Coolie’e servile labor. A wise legislator, a true financier, a brave •tateaman, hia record glittered with the •tare of truth, and all might eee Its glory. Every star in it was a Democratic star, and all ite glories were those of the people. [Cheers.] THURMAN'S MAMS. Mr. Breckenrtdge, of CaUfomis, Intro duced by the chairman as the son of the hut Democratic Vice-President who was not unjustly deprived of hit office, next came to the platform. He said the dele tes from California had been instructed _ present for the conaideratlon oi the con vention a man who needed no cuiogy. a man whose name was In the hearts ot the whole American people, a man who, U nominated, would be the next President ot the United States. That man was Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio. [Cheers.] For more than twenty years Thurman was the boldest and ablest advocate of Democratic doctrine and Democratic principles. The only objeetlon urged against him was that Ohio wee an October State. The reply to that waa that this was not a State conven tion but a national convention. The nomination of Tbnrman was In dorsed by Gen. Durbin Ward, of Ohio. He declared that Ohio would be the battle ad of the Presidential election. The locracy could win without ft, but if the Democracy carried Ohio in October the battle would be already won. They want ed an Ajax srlth helmet and spear to thun der along the line and deal death-giving blows to the foe. Allen G. Thurman waa mous consent that Gri . , lymuhi to proceed.

He did not claim that the Irish and Cathol ics were against Cleveland, but the anti- monopolist elements of ths State and the laboring interest of the State, Catholic and Pro tee tent, Irish. German and American, are opposed to his nomination and would te opposed to hi* election. Cleveland had been elected in 1882 by a majority of 182,000, but the last election m that State ehoweda Republican majority of 18,580, making a change of 2ll,0u0 in tbs Democratic vote. Here a good deal of impatience wae mani fested by the spectators, and shouts of "Sit down” cams from the galleries. A threat waa made that the galleries would te cleared, and so Grady was allowed to go on with hie speech, but not without oontinned interruptions from the galleries, le was told to "Make that speech for Blaine.” but the chairman announc ed with an air of determination that the gentleman should have a full and lair opportunity to say every word that he was entitled to • ay# Grady went on to disease the veto of the elevated railroad bill and to show how that veto was injurious to the working classes.

Chicaoo, July 10.—The Massachusetts delegates held a caucus last night. Ths members are reticent, but admit that But ler bad reconsidered his decision to with draw from the field aa a candidate and would be presented alter the second bal lot. The Daily A'eirt reports the followlng/u Butler's tariff plank: “Resofeed, That cuatoma duties should be levied for the purpose of raising money for tlie necessary expenses of the govern ment and to protect and foster American in- dustries and protect American labor; that raw materials manufactured In this country should come In free, as should also the necessaries which are used on the poor man’s table, such as tea, coffee, etc., and that the tariff on luxuries should te placed at the highest limit. THE PLATFORM COMMITTEE. The sub-committee on resolutions hae completed the fall draft of the platform which it commenced to read to ths loti committee at 10:30 this forenoon. The draft does not meet the approval of Gen. Butler, and he has prepared a minority re port, which will te submitted to the com mittee, but it Is expected that his report will be rejected by a heavy vote. It la an ticipated that a regular minority report may be submitted to the convention, in which event a sharp discussion la expected to follow. This may consume the greater portion of the day's session. It is not probable that the report willte read In the convention before noon. GRADY CONTRADICTED. The following dispatch has teen re ceived from New York by Mr. Manning, chairman of the New Y’ork delegation: Sew York, July 10.—Te Daniel Jf-tn* ititiy, L’sq., Chairman of the .Vew York state Delegation, Chicago: Reading to-day's proceedings and Grady’s resnsrki con cerning Governor Cleveland, I telegraph you that 1 waa a representative Irishman before Grady was iiorn, amt as such be lieve I know now the sentiments ot my countrymen and co-religtonlets, and plate my assertions against his. Nloe-temi:, of the Irishmen I meet are in (avor of Gruver Cleveland'! nomination, and tho univer sal sentiment expressed in this city to night te that Grady hoe uttered a vile cal umny against the Irish and Catholics ol America. [Signed] "Wm. R. Robison.” UNEXPECTED HARMONY. The subcooimUtee of the committer on reeolatlons made Us report to tlie general committee shortly before noon ibis morn ing. The majority report of the aubcom- mittce was signed by all the members, ex cept General Ilntler, who presented a mi nority report. The two roiorts are now.at 12:15 p. m., under.dlsctiv-lon, and it U not expected tiiat the platform will be sub mitted to the convention nntil To'clock this evsning. Messrs. Converse, Hewitt and Wattereon were appointed a commit tee to punctuate and burnish up the final report before it la sent In to tlie convention. Tlie membera ot the committee seem to think the platform, as it will be presented, ■finM trmuutkm Cleveland. He knew ot but one occasion on which Governor Cleveland was called upon to show bis hand, whether be was a Democrat or something else, and Cleve land proved at that time to te eomethl else. He denied that the fight agali Cleveland waa the same fight that had teen made eight yean ago again-t Tilden. A motion for recess at this time waa made and negatived. If the candidate wu to come from New Y’ork, some man should te taken who would not te antagonized by|tbe antago nistic elements ; but the Democracy of New York took no such position. The Democ racy could carry New York for Thurmsn, Bayard. McDonald or Randall, but not for Cleveland. New York was a safe State U the Democratic party wu kept solid, but not otherwise. Mr. i ’ochran. of New York, in behalf u> the minority of the New York delegation, cam* to the platform to second one of the Dominations, but wanted to go into a state ment of New York politics, to which Mr. Bran, of Missouri, objectej and against whldi he made a point of order, which wa* overruled bv the chair. Cochran declared amid ahouti of Incteda- loas laughter that no person felt more kindly thmq h* to Cleveland but te waa too old a friend of bis to wish to eee him nominated for President. He wu asked togfvelhenesne of the can didate whose nomination te sec onded. Hie answer was he would name a man who . never could be called gufity of a etogleeot and Blaine—the first u being a man on favoring corporate ineUtotkms; a man who whom every god had seemro to set hi bad never prostituted executive power to will be satisfactory os a whole. Session of ths Convention# The hour for meeting Is long past and delegates are still comivg In. There are occasional cheers and music by the band.

Ran dall is not present. The convention was called to order at It :10. The situation tills morning does not differ materially from that ot yes terday morning. The aecond day's event* of the convention have developed only one tiling, and tnts waa the stubborn deter mination to beat Cleveland at any sacrifice and by any meins. Itwss generally ooss* ceded that the action of Tammany In open ly opposing Cleveland was without prece dent, but that It had done the New Y'ork Governor no material harm. Tlie Cleveland men are strong In their he',i»! that they can bring matters to a crisis at their option. They could therefore afford to be generous In asking the convention to indulge (ira-ly in hia attack upon Cleveland ye-terday.
