JOHN KELLY,
The curse of the Democratic party is
John Kelly, chief of the Tammany or-
ganization. He has a following of some
40,000 voters in New York, and with
these he defeated Gov. Robinsoh, one of
the best governors New York ever had.
With these he defeated Gen, Hancock
for President, and has given the party
much trouble in other respects,
With his handful of voters he threat.
ens to defeat all nominees whom he is
not allowed to dictate and plays into the
hands of the Repiblicans, This has been
his infamous political work in the past,
He undertakes to dictate local and state
nominations in New York and goes to
national conventions to dictate for the
whole party in the United States who
shall be the nominee for President, and
if it be not a man to suit his wishes he
threatens defeat—~be the nominee the
purest and best Democratic statesman in
the land,
If the parly has to submit to this im-
nudent political outlaw, thon let there
be no more national conventions, and
Kelly bo called on every four years to
say who shall be the Democratic nomi-
nee for President.

One of the most laughable things that
occurred during Mr. Blaine’s last days in
the Senate was a terrific sortie he made
down the
aisle straight for Judge Thurman's chair,
where he stood facing the great Ohioan,
on the Democrats, lunging
and shaking his fist in Thurman’s face as
he dramatically arranged him and his
methods; to which Judge Thurman
merely responded :
“Rit down, sir, sit down. Mr. President,
let's proceed to business.”
The Senate roared with merriment,
and Mr Blaine himself joined in, He af-
terward described his feelings as those of
#& whipped schoolboy.
There is one phase of Mr. Biaine's am-
bition which has singularly escaped no-
tice. It is a craving for social distinc
tion. While he had a long struggle and
a hard one to get into Garfield's Cabinet,
yet nothing like his domination over
Garfield was ever known. His influence
extended to the smallest particulers ; he
regulated the etigquet at the White House
as much as he did the conduct of the

of the National Comamibtiee in search of tickets for

Mr. Barnum st first refused to give them. The
ndignation at this answer was so great that he
afterward reconsidered his determination and al
them two hundred tickets. Irving Hall
and the County Democracy received
tickets,
The drapery of the Exposition Hall was similar
to the drapery used by the Republican Nationa
Convention. The same coats of arms of the dif
ferent States were festooned to the balustrade of
the galleries, with the same background of stan
and stripes, Large American flags hung from the
windows above the galleries, and two Irish, fags
fanked the platform. The platform was erected
on the west side of the hall, the wings being re.
versed for the use of spectators, The delegates
were corralied in a space on the main foor of the
hall, fronting the platform. * It contained a por-
trait of Washington, fanked by pictures of Jack
son and Jefferson, enwreathed in evergreens, The
desk was buried In bunting and medallioned

A CREE INDIAN DANCE
I saw a religions danos among these |
people. The spectacle was so atrocious
that I nearly fainted. The object was to
1e endurance of their young fight
A large conical tent, supported
y a central pole, was erected, of which
one side was occupied by a band of
drummers and by the chiefs ; the other
gide was left an open space for the ad-
ministration of the proposed test of
irtue. The performance began
by a chorus of tremendous shouts and
outcries from the men around, to an ao-
eompaniment of tom-toming on the
dramas. Tho men were got up in won-
derful style, some painted in colored
stripes to resemble tigers, with scalps
dangling round their waists and wrists,
and tomahawks hanging in their belts.
Their extremities were covered with In-
dian leggings, faced with beads and por-
cupine quills. Their faces were painted
in all the colors, of the minbow, and a
good many more. After a short silence a
young man came forward, about twenty
years of age. Him they seized, and im-
mediately cut a slit throngh each breast
and then passed through this hole a stout
stick. To these sticks they fastened
ropes, the other ends of which were
firmly tied to the central pole of the tent.
The young man then went to the extrem-
ity of the rope and leaned back with his
whole weight, being supported by the
sticks through his breast. He pulled the
flesh right away from his bones, and in
that awful position, without a ory escap-
ing him, he began to dance to the thun-
dering music of the band. He continued
dancing for forty-five minutes when hé
fainted. Fifteon others then passed
through the same ordeal, and were thus
admitted as braves to the tribe The
trial was somewhat varied for some of
them by getting them to pull guns
through the grass while harnessed in the
vase frightlal fashion,
