The first comment to be made on the ticket OF
Cleveland and Hendricks Is that it is generally sat
isfsctnry TO the party for whose benefit it was
selected With one local exception, the democrats
uniformly endorse the ticket and will support It
no doubt, with earnestness. That exception Is the
Tammany society, which for many years has been
the thorn in the side OF the regular democracy.
TamInany fought Cleveland tooth and nall from

friends Of the defeated candidates feel disappointed
OF course. but, as SAIL no ticket would probably

The democrats may reply 10 the charge that
Cleveland IS an expediency candidate by saying
that all candidates are, and to extent that Is
true; that Is. no party deliberately dominates a
man whom IT regards as unable TO be elected. Par
ties nominate to Win. and put up the man most
likely 10 get the necessary votes. At the same
time there Is broad distinction between nomna-
ton based on the record and acknowledged fitness
OF representative party leader and OF an untried
man whose merit lies in his supposed peculiar
strength in some one essential direction Then
The name OF compromise or accidental Nominations
men who are taken up On the impulse OF the mo-
ment or as result OF a deadlock.
Both parties furnish Illustrations of all three
classes of candidates Perhaps the best example
OF steady promotion in politics is given by the
career or james Buchanan On the other hand,
Lincoln was notably an accidental candidate
Gen. Taylor was nominated by the wings from mo-
tves of expediency. and so was Gen. Grant by the
republicans. Greeley was pre- eminently an expe-
afency candidate and his failure cast diScredit on
that principle in nomination, the dissatisfaction
with The administration OF Hayes made objection
10 the theory OF COlurless compromises
But while Cleveland IS an cXpeiiency candidate
his strength, as such, lies in his record as reform
governor. His victory over so able and popular
rival Is Judge Folger gave him a national reputa-
tioh and the administration OF the Office to which
he WAS elected has satisfied the bulk OF those who
raised him TO that trust. Hence it cannot be said
that he is unknown or untrfed.

navigation thereof; that the convention
also emphatlcally approve of the appoint
ment by Congress of the Mississippi River
Commission as the first we'll considered and
efficient step towards permanently OPEN
ing the Mississippi valley to the markets of
the world; that the convention also ear
nestly urge upon Congress that a scien-
tihc and comprehensive system of river
improvement by competent COM
mission thus inaugurated as the
Mississippi, should be applied with
out delay to complete and make
permanent the improvement of the Mis-
souri,, Ohio and other naYigable rivers:
that in the interest of cheap transporta-
tion and to afford choice of water routes
to the seaboard, the convention regard the
connections between the upper navigable
waters of the Mississippi and the great
lakes as Of great Importance. and that
Congress in making appropriations ought
to have regard to the estab-
llshment of free water communication
between the valley of the great river of
the West and the tide water of the East.
The resolutions also express approval of
the views expressed by the President in
his message concerning the Mississippi
river improvement, recognize the benefits
resulting from the extension of the light
house system to the Mississippi and its
tributaries, and authorize the Executive
Committee to take proper steps for pre-
sentlng to Congress suitable memorial.
A supplementary series of resolutions
declared that the power of the govern
ment should be invoked to remove any
artificial obstruction to the navigation of
the rivers. Both reports were at once
unanimously adopted by acclamation,
fact which ELECTED great applause. The
convention then adjourned sine die.

Times Union from Sanford, Fla, under
date of Feb. 1, as follows:
1t was after dark when Lord Hunting
| don and his party arrived here, and several
other large parties arrived during the day,
! so that the Sanford House, already well
filled, was crammed to the top. Hunting
don and his friends had rooms, for they

came and Capt. Gambler, Mr.. Mast, N.Y.
self and others gave up our rooms to
them. Mr.. Mast was Obliging, but badly
out of temper. He and some of the others
had missed their suppers. They went
| hunting all about town in the dark for a
restaurant and l0dging-hOuses and, as
might be expected with cOmers who had
not yet seen the place by daylight. they
encountered many unsatisfactory things

Well, wouldn't l find them place? Why,
certainly.
l took them to the Nolan House, kept
by my friend, Judge Nolan, and though
his house was full, he had some rooms
elsewhere, and he went off with the party,
showed the rooms and said they were
quite welcome to them if they wished to
| lodge there; the rooms were nice and neat
with new furniture.
Then one man, hungrier than the rest,
brOached supper. 1t was IL O'Clock at
night, but Judge Nolan, assisted by his
chaming daughter, Miss Celeste, got the

with hot coffee, and when pay was offered

and agreeable.

NEW YORK, Feb. flames Lachlison,
of the State of Georgia, administrator of
the estate of Richard d. Fox, who during
his life was also a resident of that State,
as the next friend of a number of minor
children, has begun an action in admiralty
against the steamship Western Texas, of
the Mallory line, for the recovery of $20,-
600 damages for the death of Mr.. Fox.
The steamer, it is alleged, plies
between the ports of New York, Port
Royal, 5. c., and Fernandina, Fla. Mr..
Fox was a passenger on her in October,
1888, and on the night of the 23d of that
month, while passing along the deck, fell
through an open hatchway, receiving in
juries which caused his death. 1t was
charged that this hatchway had been care

AN AWFUL BIRTHNIARK.
Mysterious and Horrible Suffering of a
Pennsylvania.


Pennsylvania.
4 most remarkable case of human suf-
fering, says a Philadelphia special to the
Baltimore Day, and one which has steadily
batiied medical science, is reported in
Springfield, Erie county, Pa. William
Furgeson, when years of age, was
seized with severe pains in his right hand,
and though he is now 46 years of age, he
has been annually attacked, singularly
though at each time suffering more than
at the preceding.
Commissions and parOxysms now visit
him a. exactly the same period of the
year, and always at the same hour in the
evening. He is now suffering the most
acute agony, and is visited by scores of
physicians. who in every case have been
completely baffied. BY this peculiar freak
of nature his body becomes terribly con-
tOrted. Respiration almost ceases, and he
becomes for the time being unconscious,
and on awakening shows every evidence
Of having passed through a most terrible
ordeal. On being restored he becomes
perfectly well, and is only troubled at in
tervals of year, but with positive regu-
larity.
The case can only be accounted for by
the fact that FergesOn's mother, shortly
before his birth, saw the contortions and
evidences of agony in a snake which had
been thrown into fire. and that he has be-
come thus birth-marked.
