An instance of remarkable solfcontrol
and presence OF mind under sudden and
intense suffering recently occurred in Bel
GUM. Two workmen were employed Mt
Ville-sur-Ou Ourthe, in fastening n light
ming conductor, Mt the top Of Il stoeple,
seventy feet from the ground. One man
stood at work upon the shoulders Of tho
other, and sudden gust Of wind caused
him to spill some molten lead which no
was using. 1t fell upon the hand and
arm of the other, and he had the nerve
to stand still while the hot metal burned
into his flesh. The slightest movement
might have thrown the man on his shoul-
ders 10 the ground.

THE DEMOCRATIC STANDARD.
20. BEARER.

Governor Samuel j. Tiiden, OF New
York, wal yesterday selected by the
! St. Lthis Convention as the standard
bearer Of the Democratic party in the
pending presidential contest. This
choice was Effected on the third ballot,
Governor Tilden receiving 535 votes, or
80 more than the requisite ~two.thirds.
He was the leading candidate from the
+. start, receiving 4l9H votes on the first
ballot. Hendricks and Hancock stood
next in the favor OF the convention.
Following is the third and last ballot:
Tilden,- has; Hendricks, 60; Hancock,
50; Parker, 10; Bayard, IL; Allen, 81;
Thurman, ~. Itdoes not appear from
our dispatches that Thurman was for.
mally placed in nominations. After the
nomination of Tilden, which TRANSFERRED
1t abtut 7P. NJ, the convention adj
journed until 10 o'clock this morning
without attempting to name the can
djdate for Vice President. 1t Is 10 be
hoped that some one of the distin-
guished statesmen who aspired to the
first place on the ticket will be chosen
for the second. Tilden and Hendricks,
or Tilden and Thurman, or Tiiden and
Hancock, would constitute n of
the very best tickets that the con-
vention could we'll present to the
voters Of the United States. The
fact that Thurman's name was
not formally mentioned for the
Presidency . would seem to mark
himras the coming nan for the second
position on the ticket. His name
would add great strength in the North
west, and possibly result in securing
to the Democracy Ohio and Indiana.
The nomination~of Hendricks might
also have the same effect.
Governor Tilden, the head of
the ticket, is too we'll known to
need any encomiums at our hands.
As an earnest. effective reformer, he
stands to-day without al equal among
The public men of the nation. During
his brief career as Governor Of The EN-
pire State he has successfully throttled
and crushed to dust some Of the bold.
est and most defiant rings that have
ever disgraced this or any other coun-
try. Heis. In brief. the champion ring
smasher Of the age. With two such
me as Tilden and Hayes in the field
there can be no fear for the safety OF the
Republic during the next four years.

THE PLATFORM.

We have not been furnished the full
text OF the declaration Of principles
promulgated by the st. Louis Conven-
ton yesterday. Enough is telegraphed,
he wever, to carry the conviction that
the platform Ia eminently sound on all
Of the vital issues of the day. The hard
money plank was inserted by a vote OF
SIS 10 200. This achievement was
greeted with loud and long-continued
cheering. We haven't the resolution
itself on this subject, but q special by
the Atlantic and Pacific line informs us
that It is unequivocally sound. The
antt-coolie resolution is equally pointed
and emphatic. Hereit is:
1--WE demand such q modification Of
the treaty with the Chinese Empire, or
such legislation by Congress within
constitutional limitation, as shall pre-
cent the further importation or immi-
grafton ofthe Mongolian race"
There Is nothing evasive or non.com-
initial about that declaration. It means
what it says, and says precisely what
Il means. II IL the pledge Of q great
national party that an evil, against
which the people of n section of the
Union are crying out, must and shall
be eradicated. The people Of the Pa
ci6c coAst.have reason to congratulate
themselves. that they have at last Sc
cured such . recognition OF the grow
Ing eyil olMongolian immigration as
gives positive Insurance. t Its speedy
sxtincsion. .Tba'Tateness Of the hour,
coupled with fhs great pressure on our
tslsgsaphio cclumns, precludes any ref
erence to the other planks of the piats
form with which we have been ia
vorod.
