name Of a state which he said would give

all the essential characteristics Of manli-

Carlisle was the peer OF any great name
that had been or would be mentioned in
connection with that office. No name
carried with it more Of the talismanic

When the State of Delaware was called
there was an immediate outbreak Of
cheers. After the uproar had subdued
Mr.. George Gray, of Delaware, came to
the platform and addressed the convcn-
ton. He said he had been instructed to
present the name of man worthy to rc-
ceiye the nomination. He did so under
the realizing sense of the great RESPONSE
bility, relying upon the convention to act
50 that the great opportuni-
ty which God Himself had reyercntly
believed he had given them, should not
pass away unimproved. The Republican
nomination has flung defiance into the
face Of American manhood and had shirk-
ed the conscience Of the best men in that
party; such a nomination was
A l OF DECADENCE
Of that great party, not q sign of ~incrcas-
ing strength. The Democracy called for
a candidate who had been tried in the bal
ance and never found wanting. The
Democracy demanded a statesman whose
wisdom and experience were known. 1t
demanded a leader whose chivalrio cour-
age would never alter, and who could and
would bring to the dust the ''plumed
knight" of false p~retense, of personal dis
honor. 1t demanded a man with a pri-
waite character which would defy the ma
lignan: tongue of SANDER. 1t demanded
a man who should be in his public and pri
vate character the very antithesis and OPP
posite Of the nominee Of the Republicans.
The man who was this and more, aud
whose name was now leaping from their
hearts to their mouth, was Thomas +.
Bayard loud cheers. Mr.. Bayard as a
candidate would make no mistIke. His
name would still the voice Of the nation.
He would carry every doubtful State, and
would make some Republican States
doubtful. Enthusiasm would take the
place Of apathy, and would

Mr.. Villas Fakes the Chair.

Mr.. Villas, in taking the chair, returned
thanks for the honor done him, not as a
recognition of himself but of the young
Democracy of the northwest. 1t was
their fair due. 1t was a tribute to their
lofty zeal and patriotism. They hailed it
as a presage and prototype of the coming
triumph, Applause This convention

Earth's greatest, noblest free society

lay not in the hope of mere party victory,
in clutching the spoils of office.

held its convention here had rendered

Hendricks Presents Mcdonald,
When the State of Indiana was called,
Mr.. Hendricks came to the platform amid
loud applause. He said that the people
demanded q change in the management
of official affairs, and hat if the
convention would give them that OPP
portunity they would execute the pur-
pose in the election of Il President.
He believed that the nominee of this con
vcntion would become the chosen Pres
ident of the United States, the first in
augurated Democratic President in
twcnty-fo four years. [Checrs.l He spoke
of the official corruptions of the Republi-
can party, and referred to Secretary
Chambers recent testimony before n
Senate committee, when he said that
II DEFALcATIoNs IN mi OF HIS
BUREAUS
would not exceed $4,000, and yet four
years ago an administration had gone
down because of a defalcation of 500, 900.
In regard to civil service he said there
were men of ability in the public service,
and he would not ask that they should be
driven out of Office. None Others but
such should be continued; none
but the fttest should survive.
Referring to the foreign policy of the
government, he said it would be a beauti-
full spectacle if the Republic, SO strong, so
sure, should lead the nations in a govern
ment for permanent peace, and for the re-
lief of the people everywhere from
STANDING ARMIES AND wAsTEFUL WAR.
He then came down TO the main subject
of his speech, and suggested for the CON
of the convention a citizen of
the State of Indiana, Joseph E, Melon
aid. [Cheers lie sketched Mr.. Nc
Donald's career, and declared that if he
were in the White House no man who
would 90 to see him there would find
fault with the candid, frank manner OF his
reception. He did not speak for himself
or for Mcdonald alone, but fol the
great State Of Indiana, which had in
structed her delegates 10 present Mr.. Nc
Donald's name to the great convention.
No mattel where the Democratic candi-
date for the Presidency lived Indiana had
been always found true, but that fact
should not come in judgment against her.
They should not say from election to cleo
and from convention to convention,
that they need not trouble about Indiana
AS E VOTE WAS SURE,
but that they must take care, he would
say by way of illustration, of New York.
Laughter and applause. Mr., Mcdonald
was a man Of good judgment and of high
character, and his name was presented by
a great state. He therefore presented
that name and all that he asked was jus
tice.
General Black, of Illinois, seconded the
nomination Of Mr.. Mcdonald.

II shines for All.

The New York Sun, which Is enabled
to view the present campaign with
profound impartiality because its feel
ings are not engaged upon either side, Is
undertaking the role of censor or arbter
between the two parties and bids fair to
dcharge its duty with distinguished
success. II il succeeds, it will become
an influential factor in the canvass. Its
function is to tell the true from the
false in the declarations of the two sides
and to inform the voters just how a
matter stands upon which a dispute
RACES. This duty demands in the great
critic an encyclopedia OF know
edge in addition to a deep well Of can
dor. Owing to its poised attitude on the
political dividing fence, the S,m is well
stocked with the needed candOr, and It's
industry and intelligence will supply il
with a good stock of knowledge. 1t
makes what appears TO ba well sus-
tanned decision against the New York
Times on charge lately made by thai
journal that Blaine, after he stole the
before Congress ~ he claimed to do ut
the time, but in fact suppressed four
papers and substituted four innocent
ones instead. The Times proved this by
showing that four letters Blaine read
did not appear by their dates in
Mulligan's memorandum OF the stolen
papers, and that four which did appear
on it did not core, pond in date with any
Blaine read. The Sun explains that the
mistake as TO one Of the letters was
caused by clerical error in copying the
date in the memorandum that two
others OF the papers are printed in
another place in the Congressional Record,
and that the fourth one was not written
by Blaine, and was claimed by him at
the time not to have been In the package
when he took II from Mulligan. II
these statements are true, Blaine was not

declaring that he had read substituted
letters for the originals, and had at The
same time furnished the Mullgan mem

Pacific Railway Debts.

The New York Times prints nara @
tive of the effort made In the last session
OF the Senate, under the lead of Senator
Edmunds, to bring the Union Pacific
railroad to account for its failure to
comply with the terms of the Thurman
act. 1t seems that this road has not paid
cent into the treasury since July /,
1878, although since then 1t has paid
over nineteen millions In dividends TO
Its stockholders. The Thurman law
provided that no such dividends should
be paid while the road was In default in
the sums it required TO be paid into the
treasury, under penalty upon the OIL
GERS and directors of fine and imprison
ment not exceeding ten thousand dollars
and one year. Senator Edmu unds was

the attorney general should be instructed
TO proceed against the Union Pacific di-
