containing the New York and Brooklyn dele
gates to the Kelly, or anti TildeD State conven-
tion, arrived at $50 o'clock and the delegates
marched to headquarters, which they filled to
overhowing. The State committee met and
made up the roster of the convention and
chose temporary officers. Mr.. Moak, chairman
of this committee, was absent attending the
murder trial of Jem Billings. The convention
assembled in Shakespeare hall, where the Or
ganization was formed last year, aud Lieut.
Gov. Dorsheimer was named temporary chair
man. He walked to the platform attended by
John Kelly and Erastus Corning, of Albany.
Cheers were given for each. Dorsheimer said
it was the duty of every Democrat in Syracuse
to do all in It's power to bring about union and
consolidation of the party to the end that some
Democrats might be named in the National
convention who could secure the united sup
port of the Democratic party. Let those VINO

party, and it would move forward to victory
with the resistless current of the waves.

description of the storm at Marshfeld, was re-
ceived by the Globc-Democrat late tonight;
This town and vicinity were visited by one of
the most destructive cyclones on record last
evening. After passing through several miles
of county in Christian, Green and Webster
counties, destroying everything in its pathway,
dwelling houses barns, mills, and timber, it
struck this town about $50 o'clock. An eye
witness Of the approaching storm says it was a
FRIGHTFUL LOOKING BLACK CLOUD
lined with fleecy white, funnel shaped clouds,
and moving in the manner of screw propel-
Ter. 1t moved with wonderful velocity, liter
ally destroying and blowing away everything
in its path, which was about half mile wide
at this point. Large sized trees were twisted
off, telegraph wires snapped and the bark liter
ally peeled from small trees. Houses were
blown from their foundations. cattle, hogs,
sheep, horses and poultry whirled into the air
and carried great distance. The noise of the
storm, the crash of falling houses and
CRIES AND SCREAMS IS
of terrified people, made scene of horror that
beggars description. What was beautiful
peaceful. quiet town of 500 people twenty-four
hours ago, is now a waste of desolation Out
of 200 dwelling houses not more than twenty
are left standing, and but four of these re-
naming are uniniured. OF the business
houses around the public square, all but three
are utterly demolished and their contents
blown away, burned or badly damaged. About
8 o'clock freight train from Springfield
brought about three hundred people with pro-
visions and medicines for the wounded. As
soon as the bodies of the
DEAD AND WOUNDED
could be extricated from the ruins they were
prepared for interment. The wounded were
conveyed to the only available structure left
standing, the public school building, which
was not badly damaged. It was turned into
hospital. There are now fifty wounded in tie
building under the care of noble women from
Lebanon and Springfield who are doing all in
their power to alleviate the sufferiugs of those
under their care. The loss by this terrible cal
amity is estimated at S350,090 to 100000.
Every business house in the place is in ruins,
and stocks all destroyed, except two.
OF the eight hundred inhabitants of
who yesterday had happy and
comfortable homes, seven-eighths are without
houses, clothing, food or means to secure them.
The destitution and suffering is terrible. A
great many bodies are lying in the court house
Of Natal. The exact number of killed is not
far short of 100. Not more than q dozen have
been buried. Marshfield is the county seat of
Webster county, 2l5 miles from st. Louis, stu
lted on plateau of the Ozark mountains, but
not of great altitude or particularly exposed.

the degeneration o. the Democratic Organiza-
tion into machine for the interest of one
man and his personal following. Tilden Is
personalism, which is false to the Democracy
and dangerous to the republic. We protest
against the nomination of Samuel j. Tllden
for the Presidency, because he is unfit for the
office and his election to it would be national
calamity, and because his nomination
would defeat and disgrace the party
beyond recovery and because his
nomination would deliver the country to
another four years of Republican extravaganza
and misrule. We protest against his nomina-
tion because his record is not clear, because his
political career has been marked with selfish
ness, treachery and dishonor; because he has
lost respect, confidence and friendship of many
Of the best men in the party to whom it looks
for guidance, because he has damaged
the Democracy more than any
other man in the country; because
his name is irretrievably connected with at
tempts to bribe electors and the scandals
Drought to light by the cipher dispatches; be-
cause hundreds of thousands of Democrats
cannot conscientiously vote for him, and his
nomination would sound the knell of Demo-
