HARRISON Ex-Governor 'Warwick Thinks the Fight lias Been Carried West., SPEINGEE BE.NDS TO POPULAR W1U SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIEFATCH.1 Philadelphia, June 23. Senator Quay braved the city heat to-day on account of business matters that demanded immediate attention. In company with his son, Rich ard IJ. Quay, he came up from Washington late Wednesday night and retired immedi ately to rooms in the Continental, seeing no one. Collector Cooper met the Senator at breakfast in his rooms this morning, and Ex-Collector Martin was almost as prompt They later went to the Custom House, and about noon Mr. Quay called on Mayor Stuart. City Solicitor Warwick was there also and the conference covered an hour. Mr. Warwick admitted that they talked politics, but declined to go beyond that "I think Harrison will be elected," said Mr. Quay. "He is a growing man before the people, and his adminiration is full of campaign material that the Republicans will know how to use effectively." "It is the same head as four years ago to the Democratic ticket," remarked tome one to the Senator. "That is so, and I think the Democracy hare a weak candidate in Mr. Cleveland. That is to the ad autage of the Republicans, but the fight will hardly begin before a month or so." Turning to Collector Cooper the Senator observed: "The Farmers' Alliance looks like abreak in the South,and we have noth ing to lose down that xvay. The election in he Mills district indicates a very weak spot in Texas." "When are vou going to Brigantine Reach?" "Not just yet I return to Washington this afternoon. Congress may adjourn about the middle of July and then I ex pect to try the ocean side ahile." , ET-Shenff Kern met the Senator at the CuMom House just as he was about to take a cab for an uptown trip. "I ill bet $10, 000 that Harrison goes through, and if you Know anyone who wants to lose money send him around," was part of the greeting between them. General Fra-ik Reedcr did not meet Mr. Quay for the iery solid reason that he is out on the ocean sailing, and has been since Saturday, on his way to Europe. Gen eral Reeder's party comprises his wile, his sons, Douglass aud Frank, Jr., and Mrs. A. M. Thompson, mother of Mrs. Reeder, and they do not expect him back in Easton be fore September. The Senator did not come across any of the State Committee officials either, as he met enougli ol the city leaders to tielp him out in an understanding of the city legisla tive nominations. The list of the candi dates will be canvassed at the Brigantine Reach cottage where the Senator expects to go next Monday ac cording to Dick Quay's 'statement. Collector Cooper wiggled a big fan and looked happy enough in Quay's company. "Cleveland is a weak candidate and stands on the same old Democratic free trade plat form, only more so," was his style of sum ming up opinion on the Chicago Conven tion's work. "What has been done will make easy business tor our side. Harrison will win easilv." TOOK THE FIGHT WEST. Ex-Llrmennnt Governor Warwick Says Mpvnion'n domination Takes tUo Bat tle Away From w Tork It Has Been Transferred to Illinois and Sister States. Philadelphia, June 23. Special. Ex-Lieutenant Governor John S. Warwick, who went in with Hoadly after a red-hot Ohio campaign some years ago, and two -ears ago beat McKinley for Congress in the Stark county district, is at the" Girard House, and goes on to Atlantic City to morrow mornip. "Cleveland and Stevenson make a strong and winning ticket," said Mr. Warwick, "and it starts straight at the beginning. I do not think the American people will be fooled by any alleged tariff benefit issue this year, after the experience they have gone through with the McKinley law. There never was a more flagrant bit of priv ileged class legislation. There never will be another like it The elections of 1890 undoubtedlv show the temper of the masses, and while the next Congress may not be two-thirds Democratic, as it is to-day, it will be Tery much over half. "The Farmers" Alliance is causing much concern touching the Southern States," continued Mr. Warwick, "and we are hav ing and seeing some of the effects of the free silver disturbance, but the Democrats are alive to the situation, and to be forwarned is to be forearmed. In Texas and Missis sippi and Tennessee the Alliance promises trouble on the Congressional returns. I note that the Mills district, the Ninth, elects a Democrat by only 300 majority, where it usually Eives 17,000. But this trouble may be only temporary. "However, the nomination of Stevenson for second place with Cleveland means that the Democrats intend to transfer the battle from JTew York to Illinois, Iowa, Wiscon sin and Minnesota. I was for Hill, person ally, but New York will appear in the Cleveland column. Tammany has no dif ferences to settle ontside ot the convention, and I do not think there is occasion lor alarm. . We w ill fight New York, and have just as good a chance for Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut in lact, much better than the other fellow." whiiiiet kade no tease. He Says the Cleveland Men Are Satisfied V ith Stevenson on the Ticket. Chicago, June 2a Ex-Secretary W. CL Whitney had nothing but satisfaction to express about the whole ticket "The nomination of Cleveland was a foregone conclusion, he said, ''and putting Steven son's name upon the ticket "means that Illi nois will this year be added to the Democratic column. In fact, all of the work of the convention seems to me to have been well done. "We have more than a fighting chance in Illinois ever since Altgeld was nominated. Now that the State pride is aroused by putting up thelat Postmaster General with Cleveland e should think that there would be no diffil culty in carrying the Commonwealth.". "But it was understood, Mr. Whitney, that you yourself had arranged to put the second place in the hands of Governor Grav, of Indiana." "There is absolutely no truth in such a story. I think Governor Gray has deserved well of the party, but it is a mistake to imagine that any trade was made with his friends. I think we will find Gray working as heartilr for the ticket as any man couli It seemed" he would be nominated, but the choice could not be urged further than was done. The Cleveland men are wholly satis fied with Stevenson. If they were not, .. ,-: . . ..., ., tvvt' THE PITTSBtTRG piSFATOHr FRIDAY, " JUJSre 1892. -- -'-?:- . JTOpF: yv - - they had the nomination in their bands, and they could easily have given it elsewhere, but it would have been a mistake. Mr. Stevenson will carry Illinois, and we have no reason to regret our selection." TAMMANY ENCOURAGEMENT. Flower, Coekran ana Croker Unite In Hop ing Cleveland Will Carry New Tork Mot the Man They Wanted, bat They Will Obey the Pnrty Command. Chicago, June 2a Governor Flower, of New York, said that he had no criticism to make upon the work of the convention. "We have made our case as strongly as we do now before the "court of final resort of the Democracy of the Republic," said he. "We can only bow to its conclusion and do all the work we can to elect the candidate. The condition of New York politically is rather a curious one. We have a difficult fight to make, and we certainly would have preferred to make it with some candidate who would not have aroused opposition in our State. The judgment of our party, however, we accept fully and finally, and we will do all for Mr. Cleveland that we would have done for Hill or Gorman or Gray. We feel that we are handicapped, but New York may be depended upon to do the best we can" even under the most ad verse circumstances. "It is my judgment that with hard work we can perhaps carry the State. I do not like to make any promise, but if the State j can be carried lor Cleveland by loyal and faithful work, then nobody more than our selves will be glad to know that our fears were groundless." Bonrke Coekran, of New York, says: "In my speech last night I gave the reasons why I believed that Grover Cleveland was not the most fortunate candidate that we could name. My advice was not taken, and now I must tace the advice ot the convention. The convention advises Cleveland, and for Cleveland all of our work will be done. The New York Democracy will not sulk. It will do the best it can. If we go into this fight without very much hope it is be cause we kne iv New York better than the people of Texas or Illinois. But we are Democrats, and as Democrats we propose to make the hottest campaign that has been known in that State for a long time." Richard Croker, of New York, occupied a eat beside Governor Flower in tlic conven tion. He was even more taciturn than usual, and all he would say in reply to the questions put to him was: "We people in New York thought that we knew how the Democracy would carry the State. The Democracy has not agreed with us. We will try to obey the command given to us last night I hope for the best. Had al most any other candidate heen nominated I would have been sure of the best That is all I have to sav." DECLINED SECOND PLACE. Ex-Governor Gr.iy Syi Th it He Refused the Vice Prcsldnntal Nomination. Indianapolis, June 2a Ex-Governor Gray said, after he heard the news: ! was not a candidate for Vice President and did not desire the nomination. At a meeting of a number of my friends on the delega tion, held last Thursday, I informed them that I did not want them to put me forward for the Vice Presidency, nor to make any arrangements to bring about my nomination. Last Sunday a mes senger from Chicago came to see me aud said that the Cleveland managers had pro posed to give me the nomination for Vice President if I would advise mv friends on the delegation to vote iot Cleveland. I per emptorily declined the prorjosi tion. "The office of Vice President has been filled by the greatest men that the nation has produced, and is worthy the ambition of her most eminent citizens, but for certain reasons I did not desire the nomination. My friends pursued the course which they undoubtedly thought best, and I deeply ap preciate their friendship and will ever re member their devotion, but I am infinitely better satisfied than I would have'been if they had succeeded in nominating me." COLOHEL JONES TALKS TABIFF. He, Thinks tho Platform Will Satisfy All in the Manufactarlnc Districts. Chicago, June 2a Colouel G. H. Jones, Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, and who was also Chairman of the sub committee in which most of the discussion of the platform took place, in the conrse of an interview on the subject of the plat torm, said: "As originally drafted it would have been the shortest platform that has beenjmt forth by the Democratic National Conven tion for 40 years or more. Its length is due to the lact that a number of resolutions were added by the committee, and a number of amendments adopted, each one of which ex panded it" "How are you satisfied with the tariff plank as it now stands?" he wasfasked. "Personally, I prefer it to the one re ported by the committee," he replied. "It furnishes a platform upon which we can un questionably gain ground here in the West I believe also that it will prove satisfactory to Democrats of the manufacturing portions of the country and where, of course, busi ness interests are more sensitive than else where, to any declaration upon the tariff question. It is bimply a declaration ot fundamental principles. The only specific declaration is against the McKinley law. Of course it is nothing more than a Republican device to pretend that any legislation which the Democrats in Congress would enact in pur suance of the platform declaration would have a destructive effect upon established industries. The Democratic belief is that the legislation it has proposed in exemplifi cation of its tariff reform principles such as the Mill's bill would foster American in dustries at home and enlarge our markets abroad. It would not and should not strike a destructive blow at established and le- gitimate industries. DICKINSON LIKES STEVENSON. He Says He Will Grow in Strength From Mow Until the Election. Chicago, June 2a The Hon. Don Dickinson, of Michigan, to-night expressed himself as pleased with the nomination of Stevenson tor Vice President "I think the nomination of General Stevenson will grow from now until election day," he said. "He is a man of the people, a Democrat of Democrats, and attaches his wide circle of friends ,to him with 'hoops of steel.' I served with him in the Postoffice Department, and like all who have ever been associated with him, my admiration grew as onr associations continued; and I feel for him that same affection and respect which his noble qualities inspire m all men." JOLLIFICATION AT HABEISBTOG. A Cleveland and Stevenson Parade In the Keystone State Capital. Habeisbukg, June 2a Special Gov ernor Pattison and Colonel L. F. Copeland addressed a ratification meeting of the Democrats here to-night A large number paraded the streets with Cleveland and Stevenson on their banners. To-day Governor Pattison telegraphed as follows. to Mr. Cleveland( at Buzzard's Bay: "Accept congratulations. The peo ple will ratify the work of the convention at the polU in November." B&CE RE-ELECTED CHAIRMAN, Bat It Is Only a Temporary Honor That He'll Scarcely Retain. Chicago, June 2a The Democratic National Committee met this afternoon and closed the business connected with the hold ing of the National Convention in Chicago and adjourned to meet in New York with the Notification Committee, when it as sembles there to officially inform Mr. Cleveland of the action of the convention. This date will be fixed to suit Mr. Cleve land's wishes. The retiring members of the National Committee gave way to their uc cesfors.

That's the Way General Clarkson Sizes It TJp He Says Stevenson W as a Far More Efficient Headsman Than the Present Chairman of the Republican Committee. New York, June 2a Special Chair man James S. Clarkson. of the Republican National Committee, with Mrs. Clarkson, arrived at the Plaza Hotel, from Chicago last evening. Mr. Clarkson i-aid that he looked in at the AVigvam on Wednesday, to see how his Democratic friends run their conventions. Concerning the ticket, Cleve land and Stevenson, he said: "It is a good one to beat I think that the selection of Harrison and Cleveland as opposing candidates this year will cause the campaign to be conducted on & higher plane than a Presidents! campaign has been for many years. There will, in my opinion, be less personality and mud-slinging than usual. Again, the fight will be one of pro tection and honest money against free trade and dishonest money. "I don't think that the Republicans have much to fear from New York, though I take no stock. in the stories of Democratic disaf fection here. The. affiliation, between 'the Democrat and his ticket is such' that he never deserts his ticket at the polls. There is more to be feared by the Republicans from some of the 'Western States, where third party doctrines have taken root, but I confidently believe that the Republican team will come under the wire first next November. "Mr. Stevenson having been my prede cessor in office, I have had occasion to search bis record, and therefore know some thing about him. I can tell you that as First Assistant Postmaster General he chopped a blanked sight more heads off than I did." Mr. Clarkson went to Washington to night, to arrange for the meeting of the Republican National Committee there next Monday. "I am not going to serve another term as Chairman of the committee," said he, in answer to a .question. "It is a most thankless place. It you .win you are treated with ingratitude, and if you lose you are accused with being incompetent and a blunderer." SPBIHGEB IS SATISFIED. Although He Opposed Cleveland He Bends to the Popular Will. Chicago, June 2a Hon. William M. Springer, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Repre sentatives, who has been among those who opposed President Cleveland's nomination on the ground that it would not be ex pedient, said this evening that "owing to the intense bitterness provoked by factional contests in the State of New York, I doubted very much the availability of Mr. Cleveland. That, however, is a question of fact which has been, adjudicated by the rep resentatives of the people in this "National Convention. These representatives came from every part of the country and are of the opinion that Grover Cleveland is available not only available, but the most available of all candidates. Of his availability., therefore, there can no longer be a question of doubt Personally and politically he has always been my first choice, but I honestly opposed him because of my fears of the State of New York. There is no man whose election to the high office of President would give me more in tense satisfaction." "The nomination of Mr. Stevenson for Vice President," continued Mr. Springer, "will add great strength to the Presidental ticket He is strong where Mr. Cleveland is weak,, and his nomination will give strength in localities where there is danger of disaffection. A distinguished Democrat from New York, an adherent of Tammany, told me this evening that Mr. Stevenson's nomination would add many thousand votes to the" ticket in New York." HDLL THARKS TAHHAHS.

Please express to the New York delegation my heartfelt thanks for their steady devo tion to my cause and for the gallant flght they made to presorve the rights and dir nlty of tho regular Democracy of the Empire State. David B. Hill. Ratification at Llttl Washington. Washington, Pa., June 2a SpeeUti.1 The Democracy of this place broke loose to-night, and painted the town red, aud a ratification meeting was held in the public square, which was attended by an immense crowd. Speeches were made by Chairman of the County Committee J. W. C. Bane, Robert Irwin and others. COLORADO KICKERS Kecommend a Democratic State Conven tion to Consider What to Do Free Coin ae;e Men Can Stomach Neither Cleveland Nor Harrison Their Manifesto. Chicago, June 2a To-night after the adjournment of the National Convention the following significant m document was framed and wired to the West: Chicago, Juno 23. To the Democratic Voters of Colorado: The nomination of Grover Cleveland and the palpably evasive declarations upon the silver question by the National Democratic Convention confronts the'Democratlc party of Colorado with a serious problem. If the convention had declared that fieo bi-raetallio coinage was a tenet ot the party, and Mr. Cleve land acoepted the nomination upon such a platform, we might have rested upon his reputation for honesty, and believed that he would, in response to the obligations thereby imposed, shin a free coinage bill abould Congress pass one; but with a plat form that is Intended to be quoted in the, Knit as not binding tho party in any degree to free coinage, and in the West as beinc favorable to it, and witli a. candidate for the Presidency whose past utterances and official acts show him to be unalterauly opposed to tree coin age, it is plain that with Mr. Cleveland as President free coinage cannot be realized durimr the term of hit administration. As between Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Harri son, tbeie can be no choice to tree coinage men. itotb. have acted and spoken; Doth hove made records that embody their de liberate judgments. These records show them to be enemies to tho cause so dear to Colorado, and unless free coinage can be case aside as of secondary Importance to the country's welfare, the plain question Is piesented to both the Democratic and Re publican voter: Can they honestly, with a full sense of their obligation to self, homo, State und party, aid either of them to the Presidency! Tills is not a question for us to answer; It Is for the party. We assume no responsi bility except to speak the truth without lalterinir. Ve simply make a plain state ment for tho party to consider and act upon. Thus tar, under the peculiar circum stances, we deem it our duty to uo. It is for the party, after full consideration, to de termine the rest That this may be done as speedily as possible, we lecommend that the proper authority shall call the party together in delegate convention, that the the matters involved may by passed upon by it This manifesto is signed by T. M. Patter son, Henry Paul, T. J. O'Donneli, M. D. Cur rigan, D. C. Donovan and William Bayly, delegates from Colorado to the National Democratic Convention. Katlfl.d With Horns, Bombs and Guns. CoNNELl,svTiLEIPA.,June 23. Special This city to-night is going wild over the general ratification of the nominations on the Democratic ticket. Bands are playing on every Bide, but their music is nearly drowned by the sonnd of tin horns, whistles and guns. Fireworks are also being sent up on every side. Meadvllle Democrats Have a Parade. Meadville, Pa., June 2a The Demo crats of Meadville ratified the nomination of Cleveland and Stevenson this evening by a street parade with brass band and fire works and speecnes on Diamond Park that was participated in by about S00 people. ENGLAND IS PLEASED With the Action of the Democratic Party This Time. Loudon, June 24. The Graphic says: "Tho defeat of Tammany Hall is a sratifyinjr demonstration in favor of tho dignity and straightforwardness of American public life. Englishmen will watch Mr.Cleveland's campaign with cordial sympathy, for not only is his tariff policy in accord with the orthodox economic school of England, but his party platform wisely condemned the arrogant and Irritating foreign policy of Its opponent The Chronicle says: "The nomination of Mr. Cleveland ends one of the bittcicst polit-, leal lights ever waged in the United States. The breach between the waning factions will piobably extend to the Presiden tal contest and will tell seriously against Mr. Cleveland's prospects, as it Is quite possible that in the present temper of the Hill faction they will refuse to support Mr. Cleveland, and so secuie the triumph of Mr. llnirison. The declaiation or the poll or Sew York State after the election In No vember next will, it is not improbable, show that Hill has repeated his treachery of 1SS8. "Perhaps the most remarkable event of the convention was the complete overthrow of the protection element, and the rein statement of the MilU feeling. Briefly described, the outcome of tho convention is a repetition of the struggle of 1888.and while the Democratic clea vase is is wide as it la now the outlook certainly lavors tho elec tion or Mr. Harrison." The Daily JSews says: "Mr. Cleveland's nomination was inevitable. He had no com- Betitor of anything like equal weight The emocrats denounce protection with vigor. This leaves nothing to decide. The net result is to make the two parties fairly issue on this vital poinr. We fall to see any great difference between them on the silver question. Both seem to think that it is within the power of Congress to make gold and silver equal in intrinsic anitexchangable value. Nature herself np- JjcBs to take a more modest view of icr powers; but Americans may be able to give her a lesson. The tariff Question is the key to the contest It Is gratifying to learn from our correspondent tnat tne campaign win ue one of argument, not of personalities. The cotitest must, thereforef be of great educational value. Like the coming elections heie, it turns upon great principles which co to the very root of national pros perity. Two elections or such importance have seldom come so near together in the history of the world." Tho Standard says: "It matters little to Englishmen which party is victorious. The general outlines of American history are too ilrnly fixed for cither party to devi ate materially from them. There Is plenty of sentiment in America, but since the slavery question was settled It does not find its.wav into politics. Against tne rest of the world the Americans can act together with fine, manly self-seeking. Wo have nothing but admiration for their un sentimental, unphilanthroplc patriotism. Canada regards Mr. Harrison's break ing off of commercial relations as an electoral move. The Canadians under stand better than we the amnsing maneuvers of American politics. Happily for the Americans, they are not divided now by such deep-cutting Issues at the Irish question here. It was their turn yesterday to be rent in twain. Let us hope it Is not going to be ours to-day." The Ttmet 9ays: "Mr. Cleveland had an easier victory than Mr. Harrison. It is probable that the Democrats hostile to Mr. Cloveland on personal grounds will fall into line nnd support him In November. At the same time it Is Impossible to deny that there are many elements of uncertainty in the situation. Some aro due to changes introduced in the Democratic platform and the Tammnny tactics ol 1S3 may be repeated. But it is creditable to both par ties that they have chosen candidates who were open and candid In their appeals for support. Wo see much to cen sure . both in the declared prin ciples and in the administrative conduct of Mr. Cleveland, as wollasof Mr. Harrison; but we cannot pretend not to be pleased at tho shock given by both conven tions to those who rely upon dodges, in trigues and surprises. While there is little to choose on the silver question, the tariff plank marks a distinct Democratic step in advance. The question is whether the Democratic party generally is prepared to go so far. It has been consideicd, how ever, that the Democrats have hard ly a Bbadow of a chance of winning In States where they are hampered by protectionists In their ranks. It is difficult to predict,' but we are Inclined to think that Mr. Harrison's chances are slightly better and Mr. Cleveland's slightly worse than in 1883. Ammonia In Fire Extinction. The usefulness of carbonic acid water in extinguishing fire has often been referred to, and not long ago a pharmacist, who hap- Eened to have a lively incipient fire on his ands, used his soda fountain for this pur pose with most satisfactory results. An equally successful application of the vapor ot ammonia under similar conditions is now reported to have been made by a French pharmacist A vessel of gasoline had be come ignited, arfd the flames resisted all efforts to subdue them until a bottle of am monia water was thrown into the apart ment It was thus broken, the vapor of ammonia was liberated and the flames were instantly extinguished. YJEWED BY EDITORS. How Mr. Cleveland's Nomination Impresses the Writers. ALL BIDES SEEM SATISFIED. Prophecies That Grover. Enemies Will Fall Into Line, THE TICKET PLEASES FOREIGNERS Below will be found the editorial opin ions of newspapers of all Bhades of polit ical belief upon the nomination of Grover Cleveland for President by tho Democratic National Convention at Chicago! Hill's Organ Is in Line. Elmiea, June -2a Special The El mira Gazette, in which Governor Hill has long been credited with holding a control ling interest, says editorially to-days The New York Democracy scanned the figures, looked over the field and reached the conclusion they laid beforo the conven tion. Holding their view it was their duty to the Democracy to mako it known and by effort and example down to the last moment endeavor to save the party from what tbey deemed unwiso action. But there is no oDstncle in principle to acceptance of the party decroe. The individual boast of the men who sent the Democratic delegation to Chicago Is "I am a Demociat." They are capable of prov ing It under whatever circumstances may be Imposed. They are the men who flght the Democratic battles and win the Demo cratic victories. They are the men whose zeal is frequently made the cause of criticism. They are tho men whose aggressive championship of the Democratic party calls upon tbcm freqnent and heavy denunciation by Domooratic allies. They have been patient The counsel of the Democracy of No w Tork has been rejected. But submission to the majority Is Demo cratic. The will of the greater number be comes the will of all; acceptance of the majority decree is a principle first in Democratic respect. Demoorats are not emancipated from obedience to It by the failure of others to observe and obey. Recollections of Syracuse are not license to do likewise. A political creed and a rule of action are crystallized In "I am a Demo crat" It may bang loosely upon others. It Is law to the men who sent Boswell P. Flower, Wm. F. Shechnn, Edward Murphy, General Sickles, General SloCum and their associates to Chicago. This unceasing loy alty was relied upon by men who have dis regarded the counsels of New York. They shall not be disappointed. Threats of mu tiny may do for tho militia; they are not be coming to soldiers of the line. Selected the Right Wny. The New York Evening Post (Slug.) says: Outside of New York every State in the North, which tho Democrats have over car ried in a Presidental contest or stand any chance of carrying now, was overwhelming ly in favor of the candidate who was chosen, lhls is exactly the way a candidate ought to be solected. Will Clear tho Atmosphere. The New York Telegram (Ind.) says: The present Democratic tariff utteranco is brave and right and suited to the times. Quite possibly 16 may have been thrustupon this Convention by opponents of Mr. Clove land for tho purpose of embarrassing his canvass. Any way, it will clear the atmos phere and Join the issue between the parties by giving tho Democrats a principle to bat tle for that has the unqualified support of a majority of the electors of the United States. 7h! Poplp Know How to Vote. The New York World (Dem.) says: It was fitting that Mr. Cleveland should again be tlio opponent of Mr. Harrison. Both nominees are sale men and enjoy the confidence of the business community. How ever the election mav result, the choice of the people will not be made in ignorance or misunderstandingof the real issues involved in the contest. Represents Character and Principle. The Boston Herald (Ind.) says: Cleveland starts out with many manifest advantages. He represents character; he represents dignity; lie represents strenzth. he represents more he repreientsprluoiple;. Nearly Everybody Will Be atlsfied. The Boston Journal (Kep.) says: Cleveland's nomination will satisfy every body except that active and persistent ele ment of his own party which has bitterly fought him in Convention and which will now seek to defeat him at the polls. Without New York He Is Lost The Boston Evening Record (Bep.) says: The result hinges upon New York's vote. Tammany Hall, with its firm grip upon the city of New York, and Senator Hill, with host3 of friends who believe in him and his unscrupulous methods,are enemies of Cleve land. If they "knire" the ex-President at the polls he will suffer defeat for the second time. To sum up the situation, can Cleve land darry New Yoik? Even then ho may not win; without it he is hopelessly lost. Takes the Campaign Ont of the Mire. The Boston Evening Traveller (Eep.) says: The people, without distinction of party, have a right to congiatulate themselves on Mr. Cleveland's nomination, since it insures a campaign in which principles rather than persons will be discussed, and frops the country from wallowing in the mire of per sonal abuse and vituperation which has characterized so many previous campaigns. Cleveland Won the Flcht Illmseir. The Boston Transcript (Rep.) says: With all Mr. Whitney's masterly skill as a manager, he could not have accomplished Mr. Cleveland's renomination had not Mr. Cleveland himself previously won the Dem ocratic masses of the country by raising the tariff issuo In 1888 again9t Mr. Whitney's ad vice. It was this that powerfully assisted in foiling the schemes of Congressional ln .trigues and soured office expectations who wanted a pliable nominee this time. The Choice of the People. The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says: Grover Cloveland is the choice of the peo ple, and the people have risen in their might and have put him onC3 more in the forefront of the fight lor the leformof the government and tor the reform of intoler able abuses with which tho Republican ad ministration is unwilling or unable to cope. A Good Thine foT the Party. The Baltimore Evening Kews (Dem.) says: The President makers, the Senatorial combine, the anti-Cleveland conspirators, the trlcksters.the tacticians, the "practical" politicians, have heard something not to their advantage. It Is a good thing for the Democratic party though that the will of the Demooratlc people prevailed at Chicago and not the wlll'of the little men who Im pudently assumed to dlctato to their party. ' In the I-lne of Conservative Action. The "Washington Evening Star (Ind.) says: The lessons of the two Conventions will he drawn by those who have watched the course of politics. Without special refer ence here to the personal qualifications of the heads of the two tickets it must be said by the thoughttnl observer of the events, that the outcome of the Conventions, so far as It has been manifest, is distinctly in line of conservative action and elevated politics. Influenced the Shara Market. The New York Evening Fost't London financial correspondent says: Mr. Cleveland's nomination had a good in fluence on American shares to-day. The re peal of 'the silver act of 1890 is anticipated, cither through a credit crisis or action by moderate men who forsee the danger of the situation. Has a Flghtine Chanc. The Philadelphia North American (Bep.) says: The loglo of the Democratic situation has been with Mr. Cleveland from the first Mr. Cleveland Is out and out tho strongest man the Democrats could nominate. His selection is good politics, because be has a fighting chance, whereas no man named in opposition stood any chance whatever, sup posing what we believe to be true, that the Republicans are nnite'd for President Harri son. Differences Bnrled In the Grave. The Columbia, S. O., J)aily Regtotcr (Dem.), which has led the fight against Mr. Cleveland, will say: From the instant that Mr. Cleveland was declared its nominee by the Chairman of our National Democratic Convention he Decame the lepresentatlve and embodiment of the success and the principle of Dem ocracy, so It is our duty as Democrats to bury in the grave of oblivion all past differences, and with a unanimity of pur poser and In unbroken ranks bear onward and to victory tho banner of our party. Tho man who seeks to revive old differences or attempts to create a breach In the Demo cratic ranks of this or any other State, is a traitor to his party and an enemy to his peo ple. A Victory Over Intriguing Politicians. The Atlanta, Ga., Journal (Dem.) saysl The triumphant nomination of Grover Cleveland on the first ballot In the Chicago Convention is a signal victory of the people over the managing and intriguing politi cians. One of the Greatest Popular Victories. The Richmond, Va., State (Dem., says: Cleveland's nomination signalizes ono ot the greatest popular victories in the history of the Union, for It demonstrates that bluff, open fconeny and a square stand un tq pledges made Is what the Democracy of" the United States approves best. There Will Be No Disloyalty. The Albany, N. Y., Tunes-Union, a strong Hill paper, says: "I pledge the electoral vote of the State of New York to the nominee of the National Democratic Convention," said DavId.B. Hill, in one of his many stirring speeches to the Democrats of other States. There will be no sulking over the result at Chicago among the men who have stood by tho Senator from New York with such loyalty and de termination. Ttt9 Best M-n Chosen. The London fall Mall Gazette, comment ing upon the nomination of Mr. Grover Cleveland by the American National Demo cratic Convention, says: It is a satisfactory seqnel to the nomina tion of Mr. Harrison by the Republicans. In both cases the professional politicians and wire-pullers were defeated. The good sense and good faith of the American elec tors caused the best men to be chosen. Berlin Paper Are Silent. The Berlin papers will have little to say on the nomination of Mr. Cleveland. The editors of the Fost, Vouische Zeitung, Borsen Conner, Tageblatt and other papers were in terviewed on the subject by representatives of the Associated Press. Thev all said that they had written so much in honor of Mr. Cleveland that nothing remained to be said. They all extolled Mr. Cleveland's honesty, and hoped that his election would cause the repeal of the McKinley tariff law. The Berlin National Zeit'tng will say: Mr. Cleveland's strength.lies not only In his official record but in his personal popu larity, which is sustained by his personal probity, straightforwardness and manliness. His nomination, esnccLillv after be became reconciled with Senator Hill, will evoke the full Democratic vote. Selected One Who Was Turned Ont The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin (Eep.) says: The convention which nominated Cleve land contained men of greater ability, equal devotion to conviction and much greater strength before tho people; but all of these were set aside for one who was made Chief Magistrate once before. His public opinions were known and he was turned ont ol office as soon as these had been revealed. The Best Citizenship Has Spoken. The New York Times (Mug.) will say to morrow: Tho best Democratic citizenship has spoken at Chicago as tho best Republican citizenship spoke at Minneapolis In both parties the opposition to the major ity's will was, In its leadership at leant, an organized conspiracy to do harm. The Lord be praised that these men have bocn put downl There was a great casting out oi devils at both conventions. The nomination of Mr. Cleveland Is vote of confidence in the Democracy of the State of New York. The party was betrayed by its organization, belied by its .official leaders; its real service was drowned by the cries of a noisy faction nnd a false pronouncement of its dispositions was put forth . It was tho Cleveland Democracy of New York that was reoognized and was in fluential at Chicago. It Is the Cleveland Democracy that now comes Into control in the State and into political relations with the Democracy of the nation. With a candidate who Is in himself n fortress of strength and a popular cause upon which it can appeal to a country already enlight ened, the Democracy has nothing to fear save from its own divisions or its own bad management of the campaign. DANA TAKES HIS MEDICINE. He Says the Democrats Slust Win This , TImo to Kill the Fores BUI. New York, June 24. Special The following is the Sun's leading editorial: Theie is one question depending on the election of the next President, which, in its momentous Importance and vital impera tiveness, must seem to every philosophic observer to exceed every other political question that the people are now called upon to determine. All differences of opinion respecting administrative re form or silver coinage, or free trade or pro tection, or the personal qualities or ante cedents of candidates In short, the whole ordinary array ol electoral controveisies are in comparison of inferior, In deed, of almost trivial moment. We mean the question whother those South ern States which have inherited a negro population surpassing the number ot their white citizens, shall, fry Federal lawand Fed eral military force, be subjected to the political domination of the negroes, to negro Legislatures, negro Governors, and negro jndges In their courts, or whether they shall continue to be governed by white men, as now. Now, it makes no difference who may be the President whom the Republican party elect since Mr. Blaine is now permanently out of the line of power that party Is by its nature and traditions under tho necessity of. enacting and executing an election law' whose purpose and effect will be to put the negroes In control of several of the Southern S.tates. There will be some unwillingness on the part of a pa triotic minority among the Republicans, who will revolt at the consequences of such a measure, but their opposition cannot avail. The necessity of the situation will suppress all such resistance. Afoicebillls the first and inevitable re snlt of a sweeping Republican victory in November. On tho other hand, and by the nature and necessity of the ideas involved, the success of the Democracy is death to the force bill project Killed in this election, it can never be revived. In this view of the contest, what conscientious Demo can licsitato about his duty? Better vote for the liberty nnd the white government of the Southern States, even if the candidate were the devil himself, rather than consent to the election of respectable Benjamin Har rison with a force bill in his pocket PHILADELPHIA'S INDIAN RESERVATION A Lot in That City Which Belongs to the Oneida Tribe. It appears that a lot of land 15x57 feet, that lies in the shadow of the Chamber of Commerce, Philadelphia, belongs to the Oneida Indians. While John Penn, the grandson of William Penn, was Governor of Pennsylvania, he granted this lot? by a "wampum belt deed," to a delegation of the Iroquois. The deed has been religiously preserved since and has descended to the Oneidas, who refuse to part with it for any consideration. The Chamber of Commerce sets up a claim to the land now by right of prescriptive possession, and it remains to be seen whether this Indian title will be allowed. Spanish Wires Controlled by Military. Madbid, June 2a The Government has decided, in view of the confusion and delay in official and 'private business arising from the strike of telegraph operators, to dismiss all the civilians belonging to the telegraph staff Henceforth all the telegraphing in Spain will be done by military operators. THE BUSINESS WORLD. Minneapolis Grist Hills- Exceed Any. Previous Week's Output EXCEPT THE LAST SEYDI DATS. Employes of Another Cleveland Car line Go Out fn & Strike. FIRES, FAILURES AND EAILWAT NEW3 Minneapolis, June 2a The Northwestern Miller says: The mills did not get out guite so much flour last week as in the week be fore, yet the outpuf was next to the largest on record. The week's production was 210,480 barrels, against 214,030 barrels the preceding week; 123,550 barrels for the cor responding week of 1891, and 82,500 barrels in 1894 Two less mills are running this week, leaving 18 in motion, with the daily output about 32,500 barrels. The flour market continues rather dull, the variations in wheat preventing the establishment of much confidence. The domestic trade'has fallen of materially in the past two weeks, and were it not for wheat being sold for export the volume of business done would make a sorry showing. Foreigners are buying rather freely. Low grades are less in request than they were a week ago, while bakers' seem to be sought after a little more. The direct exports last week were 69,905 barrels, against 70,420 barrels the preceding week. It is pretty certain that the year's work will aggregate 8,500,000 barrels. The direct exports of flour to foreign countries have also been unprccedentedly large. For the nine months ended June 1, 2,677,000 barrels had found a foreign market, againit 1,190,000 in 1890; 1,659,900 in 1889-90, and 1,106,500 in 1883-89. A Quaker City Stove Conesrn Falls.

Traiss on all Western roads termina'ting in Chicago were delayed yesterday hy the storms. The convention of the American Railway Master Mechanics' Association has ad journed, after electing as President John Hickey, Northern Pacific, St PauL It may transpire, after all, that Chairman Caldwell will not have very much trouble in setting things to rights in the Western Passenger Association. It rests largely with the general passenger agents whether he shall have smooth sailing or not, and a number of them have declared that, so far fi-nm thmwlmr obstacles In his wav. thev will do all in their power to make his taslc an easy one. The auditor of the Inter-State Commerce Commission has informed Chairman Blan chard, of tho Central Traffic Association, and the roads which put into operation the rates on provisions from Chicago to the sea board June 16. that In giving notice of the proposed reduction the roads failed to com ply with the requirements of the law.
