speech of Mr.. Villas in accepting the per-
manent Guardianship of the convention:

selfish, resolute and unffinching@tilI its great
object shall be achieved in the restoration and
security of an upright and constitutional gov

work Of this convention. lApplause.J
POSSIBILITIES OF THE HOUR.
Its important value lies not in mere parti-
san success in touching the spoils of Office. 1t
is a nobler opportunity. The hour is preg-
nant with possibilities of good to men. Lib
erty, constitutional liberty, struggling in the
surf Of corruption, injustice and favoFltisms
cries aloud for resuseitation, for publication i,
and for reform. fApplause.1 An assemblage

Explanations of the Vote on the Uni

Explanations of the Vote on the Unit
Rule, and Presidential Possibilities.
CHICAGO, July 0.-The Indiana head
quarters, both at the Palmer and Grand
Pacific Hotels, were scenes of activity last
night. Indiana was one of the few States
who cast her vote solid yesterday after
noon on the unit rule amendment. Her
30 votes were recorded in favor of abolish
ing the unit rule. In explanation of this
vote the delegates say that the motive OF
Indiana was to break the unit rule so as
to weaken Cleveland in his own State and
scatter the votes.
WORK OF CLEvELAED,s MANAGERS.
The Cleveland managers were industri-
ously at work all night. The circular is
sued by the Young Mems Democratic
Club Of Brooklyn was again pressed uDon
the attention of outside delegates. 1t
urges the nomination Of Cleveland on ac-
count OF his availability with the Inde-
pendent Republicans, who will be attract
ed to him. Their support will be for the
benefit OF the Democratic party. The
delegates are further advised that in or
der to insure the support of these Repub-
hcans It is necessary to have a
plank in the platform fayoring revenue
reform. IL IS fact to be carefully noted,
say these friends of Cleveland, that the
Republican revolt against Blaine is COM
posed, for the most part, of individuals
and journals that are ia favor of tariff re-
form. There are other Republicans rep
resented here not considered BY these
gentlemen. They are not free-traders.
but are those who do not ike the sweep
ing tendency to Capitalization of the Re-
publicaue.

McMullen, from Dearborn county, the chair
man of the House judiciary committee
'took the position that the House could
pass the bill, and in case of an extra session,
arguing from the standpoint that we do not
know there will not be a session tomorrow,
the bill could then be presented for his (the
Governors) signature or veto. He took the
ground that under the Constitution no bill
could be presented to the Governor for two
days next preceding the final adjournment,
but that bills could be passed up to the final
adjournment"
''Mr. McMullen afterward returned to the
question, and Commended that whether this
Assembly met again or not, the passage of the
bill would be binding, and the next General
Assembly might and should present it to the
Governor two years from now, if it did not
reach him before."'
These quotations will be found upon pages
295 and 296 of the Brewer Reports. They
show conclusively that, in Democratic opinion,
INC general appropriation Oil was ueaOer unan
kit of mackerel, so far as the then existing
session of the General Assembly was con-
cerned. The only way in which its passage
could be Of any avail would be by the Gov
ernor calling special session, and Mr.. Nc
Mullen went so far as to say that it could be
held over until 1885, to be constitutionally pre-
sented to the Governor The Democratic party is
convicted out of the mouths of its leading
men-the Speaker of the House and the chair
man of the Judiciary committee-with having
failed to pass the appropriation bill in time to
be presented to the Governor, and the only
way they could see to cure the evil into which
they had voluntarily plunged the State was by
the calling of a special session. The matter
is precisely as the Sentinel stated it at the
time-"the Democrats determined to with
hold the appropriations And they succeeded,
very much to their own injury. They would
be very GLAD now to expunge the record.

to child with foul purpose in his heart.
To those who appealed to him for modifca-
ton of the sentence he said:
II want to say to my friends right here, en-
tering, as l am, upon the discharge of duties
that may keep me on this bench for year,
that after l pass sentence, unless there is
strong presumptive evidence that I have made
a mistake, 1 do not want my friends, my enc
mics, or any one, to come and talk to me in
my Office, at my home or elsewhere with the
hope of inducing me to change my decision.
| will not be influenced by any such appeals.
But when an attorney comes before me in a
regular way, in open court, and presents afi-
davits showing that have made a mistake, or
that there is newly discovered evidence of an
important nature, l shall always be ready to
give such matters further consideration. l
will not, however, be annoyed after court is
over by applications for leniency with those
who have been before me, or who are about to
appear before me. l shall always be lenient
to those who deserve 'leniency, and will not
permit the continuance of private applications
for the suspension of sentences and the re-
mission of fines"

THE Indianapolis Journal was the only pa
per in Indiana which published in full the
magnificent Grafton of George William Curtis
upon Wendell Phillips. We imagine that
that sort of literature is what the great major
ity Of intelligent newspaper readers desire
and we, therefore, made room for it. The
general run of newspapers seem to be of the
opinion that there is no demand on
the part of their patrons for such matter but
they had plenty of space for the inanities and
trivialities Of which newspaper columns are
much too full The Journal is by no means
perfect in its siftings of the news; but it en-
deavOrs to measure up as well as may be, all
the circumstances considered TO the demands
of the best intelligence of lifetime.

Mr.. SPEAKER BYNUM, who presided at the
Democratic county convention on Saturday,
among other things, according to report,
enlarged that the Acknowledgements was
responsible for the general appropriation not
being made, by refusing to sign it." If we
gather the idea correctly, Mr.. Bynum in
tended to say that the general appropriation
bill, passed by the House on the last day of
the session, would have become law had the
Lieutenant governor signed it. In the BREWER
Reports, page 295, of the last session of the
Legislature, we find Mr.. Speaker Bynurn to
be credited with the following remarks:
'The question of passing bill and the
question Of presenting bill to tfs Governor
are two different matters entirely. He
thought it would be wrong to present bill at
this time Still he did not think that the
Legislative power of this body ceased Saturday
night at l2 o'clock"
According to Mr. Bynum, had the Lieuten,
ant governor signed the bill it could not
have been presented to the Governor. How,
then, could the bill have become law, and
how did the refusal to sign the bill prevent
the general appropriation from being made9
VIII Mr.. Bynum turn his attention to the
solution Of this question:
But further, we quote from the Brewer Re
ports, page 296:
"Nir Adams asked Mr.. Bynum the ques-
ton, Does not certain section Of the COnsti-
tuition provide that no bill shall be presented
TO the Governor within two days of the final
adjournment And does it not further pro-
vide that all bills passed shall be presented to
the Governor Mr.. Bynum replied, Certain
ly. All bills passed up to the time of Imits-
ton must be presented to the Governor in the
event Of his calling special session"
The BREWER Reports further say that Mr.
