EVENING SESSION.
REsnLrrIoNs nrEEREn.

CHICAGO July 11th.-It was half-past
before the evening session was called to
order, and the first business was the adop-
ton of resolution electing Villas, Chair
man Of the Convention, as Chairman of the
committee to notify the nominees of their
selection as candidates
4 telegram was read from the President
of the New York Produce Exchange, stat
ing that the business men Of New York
were solid for Cleveland.
a delegate from Louisiana offered a reso-
luton, providing, in case of a vacancy on
the ticket for the Office of President OF
Vice-President, that majority of the Ma
tional Committee shall have power to fill
the vacancy. There was so much oppOSi.
ton made TO the resolution that il was
withdrawn
A DELEGATE from Texas offered a resolu-
ton, declaring that the Democratic party,
in Convention assembled, indorse the Nor
rison bill for a reduction of war taxes.
There was a storm of opposition to the
resolution, and the Chairman ruled that it
must be referred to the Committee on Reso-
iutions
THE v1CE-PREsIDENCY.
The Convention then proceeded to the
call Of the roll for the nomination Of can
didates for Vice-President,
Searls Of California came to the platform.
| He said that California was loving mother
| to her children, and they in turn we're de-
voted to her. On her behalf and as u repre-
sentative of the delegation from the Pacific
coast, he presented for their suffrages a
man who had been eminent among his
| fellow men who in the councils of the ma
| ton had Seen pre-emiDent; who had led
their soldiers 70 bat1le; who had achieved
victories who had assisted in upholding

the honored name Of General VIM. Z.
| Rosecrans, the hero of Stone river, the
| faithful soldier, the grand old commander,
whose image was impressed on the hearts

Branch of Colorado nominated Joseph

Bacon of Georgia said he was commits

name of man eminent in war and peace
| soldier-General John L. Black, Of Illinois
LCheers for Black
Black expressed his appreciation OF the
high and unmerited compliment 10 hun,
1t was almost an absolute surprise TO him
but he had come here as the spokesman
and the representative of another citizen OF
the republic. He had put his hand in the
hand of Joseph E. Mcdonald, and while
that gentleman was before the Convention
he Black could not appear in any sense
his rival for any position. He thereiert
respectfully declined the nomination.
Mann of Illinois hoped that the declina
ton would not be received. He paid
high compliment TO Judge Black, saying
that when the surgeon was operating or

4 SCENE OF CONFUSION.

At this time all the delegates were upon
their feet and many of them were clamor-
ing for recognition. Florida changed her
vote to Cleveland, as did also West Virginia
and Maryland. The changes were so nu-
merous and accompanied with so much
uproar and excitement that it was almost
impossible to keep track of them. The
Missouri delegation announced the change
of its 81 votes solid for Cleveland This
set off the enthusiasm again. The cheer
ing was deafening. An anchor of flowers
was carried to the New York delegation,
and a stuffed eagle was carried in process
sion. The band struck up more patriotic
airs, flags and banners were waved, and
the excitement gained the fever point be
cause the Cleveland vote had nearly
reached the necessary two-thirds. At this
juncture, when the success of Cleveland
was certain, some OF the minority delegates
left the hall. Outside the artillery began
to boom and inside the uproar was tre-
mendOus.

THE CLEVELAND DEMONSTRATION.

Now was the opportunity for the friends
of the New York candidate, and they
availed themselves of it, the delegation
from that State rising to their feet and
cheering Justify, while they waved fans, hats
and handkerchiefs Justify The spectators
took part III the demonstration, but not 10
the same extent as in the case of Hendricks.
After awhile the band joined in the air
" Wen not so home till morning" which
seemed to stimulate the enthusiasm This
scene lasted three or four minutes
Illinois continued for Bayard 5, McDon-

number Indiana gave for Hendricks 80

Moral Inf p5ncc of the Cocoanut.

But the VOL thing about the Cocoa
nut palm, thau missionaries always say,
is the fatal faG that, when once fairly
started, it goes on bearing fruit unin-
terruptedly for forty years. This is
very immoral and wrong of the ILL
conditioned tree, because it encourages
the idyllic Polnesian to lie under the
palms all day long, cooling his limbs
in the sea OCCASIONALLY, sporting with
Amaryllis in the shade, or with the
tangles of Neara's hair and waiting
for the nuts to drop down in due time,
when he ought (acording to European
notions) to be killing himself with hard
work under blazing sky, raising
cotton, sugar, indigo and coffee, for
the immediate benefit of the white
merchant and the ultimate advantage
of the British public. 1t doesn't en-
force habits of steady industry and
perseverance, the good missionaries
saws; it doesn't induce the native to
feel that burning desire for Manchester
piece-goods, and the other blessings OF
civilization which ought properly to
accompany, the propagation of the
missionary in foreign parts. You stick
YOUR nuts in the sand; you sit by it q
few years and watch it growing; you
pick up the ripe fruits as they fall from
the tree, and you sell them at last for
illimitable red cloth to the Manchester
piece-goods merchant. Nothing could
be more simple or more satisfactory.
And yet it is difficult to see the precise
moral distinction between the owner OF
cocoanut grove in the South Sea
Islands and the owner of coal mine
or big estate in comercial England.

The next speaker was l., W. Brewer. He
referred to the very able body of men who
had selected the candidates-men who had
only the good of the country and party at
heart. As in 1876 the Democratic party
would elect their men, New York and In
diana would again give Democratic majori-
ties, and Harrison's nomination made llli-
uois doubtful safe; Connecticut and New
Jc..r could be considered Democratic, nor
Goa N isconsin and Iowa even be consid-
cred sure for the republicans. The old
Democratic party is the party of the people
- the party of personal liberty.
NJ 7. Moloney was the next speaker. He
said that owing to physical inability he
could not on this occasion make the address
his heart and desires prompted but it would
seem that he was fully able to awaken the
latent enthusiasm Of his Irish friends, who
frequently interrupted him with expressions
Of loyalty to their old party lie said the
Irish people had never gone back on a friend
and would never 90 hack on the Democratic
party-"and' with laughter 81 might say
the Irish compose the Democratic party and
they cannot 20 back on themselves
Judge Supp followed with a rousing ad-
dress Of few minutes length He felt in
his bones, in the air, and in all the sur
Iroundings that Democratic success was sure.
Twenty-four years ago it was the Democratic
soldier that assisted in putting down gigan-
tic rebellion, but for which result the Re-
publican party now claim all the glory, and
take all the Offices. (Laughter.) The Re
pubicans want civil service reform. Who
will reform them. Will Dorsey, Robson,
Belknap, Colfax, or epen Blaine who fought
so valiuntly-by a sweet substitute-reform
them? Hendricks was once elected wee
president by the people, but was stolen out
by scoundrels We will again elect him.
But to follow through the eloquent ad-
dresses by such able speakers as Senator
duncan, NJ. n. Armstrong, G. W. W. Blake
and others would take more time than the
reader might want to give, just now. These
gentlemen will be heard from throughout
the county during the campaign and that
with effect.
During the whole of the meeting marked
attention was given and the large audience
remained unbroken until the close. This was
the first shot from the Cleveland and Hen
drick gun for the campaign of 1884 in Of
tawa, and its echoes are still reverberating
all along the line. 1t spoke with no uncer-
tain sound

The Ratification.
Large and Enthusiastic Meeting Of OF
tawa Democrats.

When the news of the nomination OF
Cleveland and Hendricks reached Ottawa
Friday evening, the hour was too late to gel
up formal ratification meeting that even
ing and have the able speakers present that
afterwards so ably and successfully present
ed the names of the next President and Vice
President to the public. But during the in
tervening time before the Monday night.
meeting, there was no lack of congratula
tions nor enthusiasm on the part Of the Dem
ocrats of Ottawa.
On Monday night, therefore, when the
meeting was announced to take place at the
court house, there was no surprise at the
large throng that gathered in the square
A large bonfire had been built in the street
and Fitzgerald's band discoursed music,
adding to the occasion.
On the platform which had been erected
at the south door of the court house, were
seated such men as Hon. J. d. Cation, Judge
Stipp, Judge Gilbert, Hon. J. W. Duncan,
Messrs. L. W. Brewer, NJ. T. Moloney, G.
W. W. Blake, j. R. Shaver and others, prom
inent in state and county politics.
The meeting was called to order by Mr..
Brewer, who introduced that veteran DEM
ocrat and able jurist, ]. D. Cation, whose ap-
pearance was greeted with loud applause.
His address was an able effort, filled with
arguments for the success of the ticket and
pointed hints at the corrupt administration
of public affairs by the republicans. He
had intended to refrain from taking prom
inent part in this canvass, but like the old
war horse he feels something of the spirit Of
battle and cannot keep out of the conflict.
His mention of the names of Cleveland and
Hendricks was received with loud and pro.
longed applause, as was also his reference TO
Carter Harrison. The Judge felt confident
that success to the Democrats was sure, nor
could an overpoweriDg administration again
count ont the honestly elected men. Before
closing his remarks Mr.. Cation demonstrated
conclusively why the Irish vote, which the
republicans so proudly boast of having cap
tured, was not going to be given to them.

Barber county Is receiving large inn
migration, beyond doubt; but the inn
preston that has gone east that all the
good land has been taken up is errone-
Gus, and it is also an error 20 think that
cattlemen have been crowded out of
the county entirely. There are vet
thousands Of acres in the county that
will never be fit for any purpose other
than ranging cattle and this land is
not wanted by the new corners. The
prices OF cattle are as high to-day in
Barber county as at any time in its his
tory, and IL one has an idea that stock
men are anxious TO sell out, even az a
sacrifice, he has but to travel around
and try and make purchase at the re-
ported reduced prices. II will be found
that no one is particularly anxious 10
sell.
Persons who are so fortunate as 10
possess Barber county real estate are
in as good condition as the stockmen,
for 1t is no uncommon thing now to
hear Of quarter sections selling for
$1,000, 81 900 and even 81 ,6OO-and hun
dreds of claims are being held at 5000.
All Of this goes TO show that Barber
county is not disturbed as to its future,

Bringing up by-gones is not always
pleasant, and an instance now being
made public is no exception. When Mr..
Arthur was in charge of the New York
custom house, a decided rottenness was
supposed TO exist under his manage
ment. 1t was then that Wayne Mac
Veagh and Mr.. Brist0w attempted TO
bring to justice the guilty in.high places
In accordance with the instructions of
President Hayes. Mr.. Arthur laughed
at their efforts #; he scorned the civil
service orders, and deded the president
and his cabinet to do their worst, and
did not resign his position, either.
Now, Mr. Bristow, that high. toned
Kentucky reformer is down for speeches
in New York i'm the interest of Mr.. Ar
thurs nomination. MacVeagh has not
been ''seen,1 and so he is out in an
open letter TO Bristow bringing to view
the old recOllectious and experiences.
AS Shylock would have it, MacVeagh
says:
