General Wards Speech.
From Report of Convention.


Mr., President and Gentlemen of the Con-
vention-I am extremely grateful to my
friends for the gallant fight they have made
for my nomination. For more than thirty
years I have stood firm by the cause of De-
mocracy in hopeless county and hopeless
district, and always called on to lead for
lorn hope when victory was impossible And
now, at the end of a long life, when l ask to
be made Governor you have chosen to pre-
fer another. The voice of the Democracy to
me is law [applauSe] and when you have
chosen to nominate for Governor of the State
man who has not rendered you a tenth
part of the service that | have | bow in
acquiescence, and l shall take the stump
with whatever power have to bring victory
to the banner of the Democracy this fall
Applause.
Gentlemen, it has not been the usage of a
Democratic convention heretofore to call
upon the defeated candidate for Governor to
make his appearance before the convention
You call for the successful candidate, but
you leave the disappointed man without
coming before you to exhibit his grief or
complain of his wrongs. You have chosen
to alter the rule in this case; you have chosen
to call me here, to muster me out of the
service at the end of thirty years. [Cres of
Senator Ward" and applause.]
Gentlemen, 1 regret extremely that you
call me here now. 1t reminds me that when,
was wounded so that you see that lame arm
has to lie at my back, they attempted to
muster me out of the service. went to
Washington city and mustered myself in
again, and continued to fight in the field
through several campaigns; and so l tell you
now, gentlemen, | am to say what | didn't
desire to say; | am to say what you have
compelled me to say, being called to this po-
sition, refuse to be mustered out of serv-
ice [applausel; and l say to you that as you
have chosen to prefer another for Governor,
you have left no other place for me in TIE
State of Ohio but senator in CONGRESS [cheersl;
and l therefore openly proclaim myself here,
whatever may be the result, as a candidate
for United States Senator for Ohio. Long
continued applause.]
| did not desire to say all this, and be-
sought the committee that called upo me
not to bring me here; that would say that
which might be dsagreeable TO them and to

men, that l am too much of Napoleon to

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Alired B. King
one of the leading citizens of Liberia, is in
the city He sings the praises of that coun.
try with great fervor regarding it as the
place to which the colored people Of America
will eventually drift. "As the matter
stands said he, "the colored people in this
country are hewers of wood and drawers Of
water. When this class of educated blacks
increases largely, as it will surely do, the
pressure for higher employment will be so
strong that they will turn to Liberia as the
OILY country where negro has a full and
equal chance for the honors of life"

Colonization Society-a place he has held for
thirty or forty years-says there has been
remarkable increase in the number OF inquir.

Can anyone be elected Governor of In
diana on a strictly free-trade platform?'
Il do not think so. The Democrats have
learned that free trade in the abstract is not
the doctrine of the party. With the excep-
ton of Mr.. Watterson and Mr.. Pulitzer there
are no Democrats in the country in favor of
free trade, pure and simple"
1t was suggested that Mr.. Watterson and
Mr.. Pulitzer represented two of the leading
Democratic papers of the country.

neither Mr.. Watterson nor Mr. Pulitzer will
be permitted to dictate the platform" was
the response

the idea or not | would have to be satisfied,
since he is candidate in the fullest sense of
the word"
"Is there any likelihood of there being a
division or contest between the friends of
Mr. Hendricks and Mr.. McDonald?'
None in the world. Mr. Hendricks is not
candidate either for the presidency or vice
presidency. While | am friendly to both,
and great admirer Of both, am satisfied
that Mr. Mcdonald is the choice not only of
the Democracy of Indiana, but of the whole
country. If he is nominated, and the tariff
for revenue only plank kept out of the plat
form, the ticket will be elected beyond
doubt"

Details OF the Latest Tornado-SeveralP Per-
sons Killed and Injured
CHILLIcoTHE, Mo-, June 22.-Details of the
work of the tornado in the southwestern
part of this county on Tuesday night were
received to-day. The storm appeared at
about o'clock, coming from the west and
lasted two hours, working appalling de-
struction. 1t started near the west line of
Blue Mound township, and extended five or
six miles eastward, leaving path sharply
defined, in width varying from half to
three-quarters of mile, destroying farm
houses, crops and fences wherever it touched.
Edward James and Mrs. Jackson Wilson
were killed outright. Those thought to be
fatally injured are Mrs. Butch, Miss Amy
Click, Mrs. Dusenberry, Jack Wilson and
Bert Snyder. Several others received pain
full injuries, and child of John Hughes was
reported totally blind. The aggregate losses
were not estimated, but are heavy. The
buildings destroyed are all farm-houses and
barns.

Disgrsceful Scenes in the Convention and
the Bad Feeling Engendered.

Special to Chicago Times
The scenes were the most disgraceful of any
which have characterized a convention in
Ohio, large number of the delegates being
in drunken condition. Judge Thurman
left the convention early in disgust, and ex-
pressed the belief to friends that the ticket
could not be elected and did not deserve sup
port at the hands of the people, A party, he
said, that was so ungrateful as the Democrats
have shown themselves to-day, did not de-
serve the name of party. General Ward is
being consoled by friends, and has no enthu-
siasm to waste on the ticket, though he says
he has become familiar with it and can work
as well in the face of defeat as any other way.
Corruption is being freely charged on all
hands, and number of the leaders who
have been seen say that no party can sue
ceed under such tactics. There is no doubt
ing the fact that the bad feeling which has
been engendered to-day will last over the
campaign and show in the inal results. The
Republicans seem quite well pleased with
the work of the day.

Ward and Hoadly.

Correspondence Boston Herald.
Mr.. Ward is bluff and hearty, and like an
open book in his nature; but beneath Mr..
Hoadly's ability and genial manners lu = an
itsinuating quality and a lawyers craftiness.
There has not been year, for quarter of a
century, except when he was in the field as a
soldier, that Mr.. Ward has not left his bust
ness to do good party service without a
charge of any kind of recompense. Mr..
Hoadly has professed to be Democrat for
about six years only. Whatever may have
been his purpose in shifting party allegiance,
he has been thrusting himself forward for
office almost ever since. He was delegate
TO the Cincinnati convention in 1870 presid-
ing over the temporary organization of that
body. From that day there have been un-
easy whisperings of what he wanted. 1t was
suspected last year, when he accepted en-
ployment as counsel for the liquor dealers as
sociation, that be had something else in view,
and he stands, to-day, as the representative
of the liquor interest rather than of the
Democratic party. His ambition is to vault
even higher than the State-house. There are
no bounds to the mans fancy.

An Unbalanced Graft.
Murat Hnlataad

Murat Halstead.
The nomination of Hoadly shows that the
party has breadth of beam and freight ca
pacity greater than it formerly had, but the
craft is not well loaded; has too much steam
on for the old boilers, and is not to be trusted
with the treasures of the State where the
waters are deep and the storms arise.
The Democratic platform is considered
smart, and is not badly written, but it is
structure of phrases that give forth uncertain
sounds at the touch of business questions.
There is surely nothing alluring to the
young men of Ohio in a tariff plank that is
like the top rail of a fence whitfield away by
idlers until it will not bear the weight of a
small boy, and liquor plank that supple
ments the old screech about sumptuary legis-
lation with fresh proposal that does not
contemplate the most notorious provision of
the constitution of Ohio.
The Democracy have not taken an affirma-
tive position touching the actualities of the
situation. and will be thrown on the de-
fensive, both as to platform and ticket.

Secretary Teller's Reasons for Refusing to
Take CHARGE of the Prisoners


WASHINGTON, June 22.-Secretary Teller
was asked tonight whether he had reached
any conclusion with regard to the disposi-
tion of General Crooks captives. He said he
was willing to take the children and unmar-
ried women, and put the former to school
and the latter on the reservation, but as to
the others they shall not go on the reserva-
ton. His reasons were: First, that
the Indians now upon the reser-
walton, Indian agents and white
settlers in the surrounding country did not
want them there; secondly, putting them
upon the reservation would practically turn
them loose, because they would only remain
until next spring, when they would go upon
the war-path again; thirdly, his appropria-
ton for the support of Indians would n OF al
low of his keeping 400 or 500 OF Crooks cap
tves Secretary Teller said, also, that he
did not think there would be any disagree
ment between himself and the Sec
retary of War as to the disposi-
ton of these Indsans, and that when General
Crook understood the circumstances, he
would not ask to have them placed OH the
reservation The Secretary said further that
while his appropriations would not permit OF
his undertaking the care of the captured hos
tiles, many of whom he said, were not Amer
lean, but Mexican Indians, the War Depart
ment had S27, 900 at its disposal for the sup

in visionary schemes, he possessed
those qualities which combined make
up an ideal executive officer. 1t re-
quired a man like him during the
stirring times of the war, when the
National Government was iistless and
it behooved the state Governments to
inspire action of some kind. With
his sound common sense, he saw
what had to be done and with his in
domitable will he carried it out.
The welfare Of the Republican party
was always dear to him, and in his
quiet transformations, but none the
less vigorous way, he contributed
UNNECESSARILY to its support, and by
his presence in its ranks he helped
to give it that tone, that conservatism
which has made it the representative
party of the country and to which
the people are to look up to for the
preservation of their rights.
