GEORGIA AND NEW YORK. I'nbllc Cominendntlon of the Work of the Two Convention*. Washington, June 21.—[Special,]—Much favor* able comment was made In Washington on tho business like way in which the Georgia democratic convention finished up Its work hut Wednesday. It has been especially commended for not mod dllng with the tariff question or dictating to the national convention the platform it must adopt. New York and Georgia alike avoided useless dls- cusslonon tho question which lias so lately come near to working serious mischief in the party. Both left It to the national convention, with out any gratuitous declaration or Instruction. Only a few weeks ago the democrats of the houso were angrily firing at each other In a tariff debate, and to the casual spectator the p»rty seemed hopelessly divided. Bad feeling lingered for some days after tho Morrison bill had Its head chopped off, but almost every trace of that dissension has disappeared. The democrats have never since the . began, been so united and harrao- nloua aa they are today. Mr. Randall saya he does not see why party cannot formulate a platform pleasing to all and worthy of a unanimous support. Mr. Mor rison, to his credit be it said, has not sulked since bis defeat of his pet measure. He speaks hopefully of tho outlook and expresses himself as confident of democratic victor/. In the work of the house since the tariff was shelved there has been the most cordial co-operation of the friends nnd op(>oueiits e Morrison bill. I believe that with the exception of a very extremists on both sides they are animated by a common pnrpoae, and mean to present solid front against the republican party. When the caucus of democrats waa held some months ago sharp words were had on the tariff question, and on either side were heard threat* of an appeal to tbc Chicago convention. Naturally, these little quarrels gave rise to the expectation of a stormy convention, an angry contest over measures, if not over men. All probability of that misfortune has passed away, s as can be seen in a view of the situation from this high central standpoint, It has peon well observed by careful critics of the situation that the hope of Mr. Tihlen’a acceptance lingered long enough to consolidate the party on the great idea of admin- tratlve reform, Now that “tbc will of God,” to use hla own Impressive words, has removed him from the active leadership ol bis party there fa discernible no disposition to return to the dissensions which distracted ft before it merged all issue* In the de mand for bia candidacy ou high snd commanding principles. If that work can be attributed to the old man bia lasf service to hia party is enough to make his name still more houorable If that be possible. In every democratic household. Things are moving smoothly with the party in Washing ton as the democratic convention approaches. It will not be a divided camp or a boisterous coun cil. It will be a Jubilee. ^ Murdered by Clreus Men. Helena, Mont, June 21,—John Edwards, a brskemon on the Utah and Northern train carry ing Cola’s circus, was shot through the bead while the train waa leaving Deer Lodge, Thursday.

Hardaway held up with astonishing ability. Ho bad a very swift walk and a trot that carried him rapidly over the ground. He was off the track very little, In fact, leas than any of the other walkers, and his victory waa well deserved. He had a de termined expression ou his face, and at no time did he look to the right or to thff left, but with a desperate determination he pressed ou around track. When he passed his 45th mile a few mlnutca after seven there were no takers to bet that he would not beat Veel’a record. The general Impression was that ho would goat leant a mile beyond it, and by eight, or half past right beta were made that he would clear slxty-one miles.

Who IHknvow the Finns of the Parisian Jfead Center Stephens. Chicago, June 21.—Irishmen interviewed here upon the proposed armed movement upon Eng land, including the use of balloons from which to drop dynamite upon the cities, os outlined In the cable dispatches yesterday, ridicule the proposi tion In every possible way. John F. Scankm summed up by declaring “It U evident some Milesian Munchausen is havlnga heap of fun ou the other side.” Colonel Dan E. O'Sullivan, of Louisville, who was secretary for America of the 1*07 movement, said that no sane Irishman believes In an armed in vasion. The futility of such efforts has been satis factorily demonstrated. Besides. Stephens had announced himself aa opposed to the dynamite policy, and could not have originated the plan. Pat Crowe, of Peoria, said Stephens once had the opportunity to lead an armed rebelllon.but proved a coward and ran to save his own neck. He de clared, however, that a mass meeting of Irishmen wonld be held In this city during the democratic convention, to raise money for dynamite. T. V.
