No Chance for Mcdonald The Effective Work
of the New Workers.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
CHICAGO, July 10.-The Indiana men have de-
stroyed any chances Mr.. Mcdonald might have
had for the presidential nomination by pursuing
policy directly opposed to any movement that
the Cleveland men have supported. The man
who is nominated must get a good many votes
from those who are at present favorably dis
posed toward Cleveland, and in antagonizing
them the Indiana men have compromised them
selves. Until to-day there has been much talk
about Mcdonald for the second place, but even
this has almost entirely died out and it is doubt
fulf he will get any further recognition from the
convention than he has already received. There is
very strong personal feeling for Mr.. Hen
drinks, and whenh he came into the convention
to-day he was given very cordial reception
from all parts Of the hall Those who are in a
position to know assert that, if he had allowed
il, the movement that is hourly growing in
strength for Mr.. Thurman would have been in
hisfavor; but Mr. Hendricks came here as the
avwed supporter Of Mcdonald, and he has thus

Two MORE osNpIpATEs.

The Committee on Platform Not Ready to
Report-More Nominating Speeches.
CHICAGO, July 10.-The convention was called
to order at II A NJ. and the proceedings were
opened with prayer by Rev. George G Lorimer,
Of the Emanuel Baptist Church. Of Chicago.
Carter Harrison, of Illinois, rising to a per
sonal explanation, repelled the intimation made
by one of the speakers yesterday that he had
packed the hall with clacque which applauded
his speech in seconding the nomination Of Gro
yer Cleveland.
A communication was received and read from
the chairman of the committee on resolutions,
stating that the committee, notwithstanding
constant and patient efforts, had not yet been
able to complete platform and would not be
prepared to make completed report before
7P.M.
The unfinished business of yesterday, being
the call of States for nominations, was resumed.
Mr.. Mansell, of Missouri, came to the platform
and seconded the nomination of Mr. Thurman.
He said that Missouri would have given thirty
two stalwart Democratic votesfor the old ticket,
headed by the Sage of Gramercy and his
venerated friend from Indiana (Mr. Hendricksl
AS they could not have the old ticket he had
been casting about to see who was the man who,
in the emergency, should lead the embattled
hosts Of the Democracy to grand and glorious
victory. Nothing short of a blunder could
make the Democracy lose the election. With
twenty five Democratic Governors and twenty
three Demoetatic Legislatures, representing 253
electoral votes out of 401, nothing but q
fatal blunder could make the Democracy lose.

noblest Roman of them ALL" Allen G. Thurman,
of Ohio. He therefore seconded that nonlina-

terday, and recognized in him '.the colossal
Democrat" of the country, "the Bismarck Of
America With Thurman as their standard
bearer, they could carry Ohio, and New York,
and California. In proof of this statement he
repeated a conversation he had had with Gen.
Spinola and other Tammany men, and read tele
grams from Ohio and California In conclusion
he declared that the Democracy was hungry,
even unto DEATH not for the venal spoils of Of
fee but for the glory Of doing good to their fell
low beings.

tinue to be favorable and there is
every reason to believe that next
season will see the camp even live
lier than it was last winter. Gold Is

gentleman who is an assayer reads
encOungingly:

after l left you enjoying the ride
very much. This place is very dull,
but Murruyville is advancing rapid

here and at Murrayville, but they
are not doing much. 1t Is too early
for much to be done in assaying. !

day since | arrived here, and so far
as my observation goes think there
is a great future before this district.
was told yesterday that the parties
owning the Dream Gulch refused to
take S6j;O00 for their claim. By the
favor of Mr.. Davis, one the owners,
/ was invited to see a surface clean
up about a week ago Of 33 ounces,
including a nugget Of half the size
of my littlGtinger. He showed me
the figures on his book for each run,
the total amounting to about $4,000
up to that date, value SIS an ounce
in San Francisco. There are good
opportunities for capital now, and
will be in the near future. | have
seen lots Of free gold in quartz found
in this district, and for the amount
of work done l think that the cOun-
try shows up well. II | had about
$4,000 now | could make an invest

CHEWELAH.

The weather is very warm and
dry in the COlTille valley at present.
The crops are looking very good 50
far, but II VIC do not get rain in the
next two weeks the prospects for a
good harvest will be rather slim.
There was quite gold excitement
in Chewelah last week over the dis
cOvery of Il placer mine about one
mile from town. Gold was found
but not in paying quantities. The
excitement has about died out, still
q few old miners are sticking out in
hopes Of finding something.
Everything is quiet here. The
town site has been surveyed out, but
nothing more done as yet. The
town is beautifully situated in the
centre of the richest farming land in
the Colville valley. The land has
just come into market and filing is
now in order.
Mr.. w. +. lIOckhart, clerk Of the
court here, has resigned his position
and left for Cheney. Sorry to lose
so useful a citizen. He was kept
very busy the last week Of his stay

VERDTRE INVIGORATOR.


Since the passing away Of the i'm
maculute sheeting that shrouded
the earth during the winter months
the aqueous invigoratOr has refused
to materialize, and a dryness sur
passing the thirst Of an old topper has
cOmbatted the efforts Of the hus-
handman and threatened to burn up,
dry out and withcr the crops upon
which he dependent for the where
withal to keep together body and
soul. Things had begun to look du-
biOu4, and the chances for harvest
Of grain were anything but 1atter-
ing, Notwithstanding the Territory
has the reputation Of growing good
crops under even the most unfavOr-
able circumstances. Rain was a
want felt along the front, and ev-
cry cloud that indicated moisture
was watched with Il longing eye.
These vigils have at last been re-
warded by the arrival Of cOpiOus
showers that dispersc the low muir
murings Of discomfort and insure to
Eastern Washington an abundant
harvest. For week or more Omi-
nous clouds have been waltzing about
the upper ether promising good
deal but accomplishing nothing to
brng of until Thursday, when an
abundant quantity of the reviving
fluid distributed itself over this Sec
tiOn. Reports reach us of rain in
various parts of the Territory, and
the showers of this week have been
general. The water has stamped a
new impression upon the counten-
ances of the people, and a universal
feeling of thanksgiving prevails not
only among the people of the cOun-
try but also among the uenizens of
the towns. The rain is worth big
money to the country and every
body will be benefited thereby. 1t
means broad fields of golden grain,
more certain and satisfactory than
the mines. 1t means encourage
ment to those here, and fresh i'm
petus to immigration. 1t means a
lively fall and winter for this city,
and prosperity all around.

SOME one on the way east, where
he has probably arrived by this time
and ought to stay, has been making
car-windOw observations Of the cOun-
try, and dishing up his conclusions
tor an Oregon paper. Either guile
less and easily imposed upon, or de-
string to see how ridiculous he could
make himselfappear, this cOrrespOn-
dent, speaking Of Spokane Falls,
says: "Here again, one is reminded
N Wizards princely ideas and the
lavish expenditure Of other peoples
money" Now, we challenge any
one to point out a single instance
where Wizards coin. or any foreign
capital, has been Invested TO the
bcneAt Of this city. The railroad
company, either under Wizards
management or that of any other
, president, has never shown dispO-
SitiOn to favor the Falls, let alone in
vesting money in building up the
place. Spokane Falls has advanced
purely on its merits, backing more
lasting than that OF the fallen Willard
or any other individual. 1t is just
as easy tO'Be truthful in these mat
tiers, and ii would detract nothing
from the interest of the correspOn.

THE RED DESTROYER.
spokane Comes In for n Visit From
the Dreaded Element.

After enjoying an immunity for
, months from a visitation in the
shape OF fire this city was treated to
a dose early Tuesday morning that
gave the public a good fright even
if the damage inflicted was compare
lively light. The fire broke out
about o'clock Tuesday morning in
the two-story frame building at the
southeast corner Of Stevens and
Main streets, occupied by frail wO-
men. The flames spread with Won
derful rapidity, aud in few min
utes the house was a wreck. The
fire communicated to the twO-stOry
frame adjoining on the east, used
for the same disrcputable purpose,
and it was reduced TO ashes. A
large crowd assembled on the ground,
but as there was nothing to use for
cxtinguishing the fire nothing could
be done toward checking the con-
fagratiOn. BY wetting the roof Of
the barn on the west side Of Stevens
street and applying wet blankets
the fire was prevented from crossing
the street. This barn is full OF hay
and is close to a number Of other
frame buildings. Had it ever ig-
nited there is no saying where the
destruction would have ended. One
Of the buildings consumed belonged
| to Chinaman and was not insured,
the other was the property Of Henry
Maxwell, a Spaniard living on Crab
I Creek, and was insured in the West
rrn Of California for 500. The total
loss was not over $1,000. Most of
/ the furniture was saved, but cOnsid-
crlbIy damaged from careless hand
ling. Mr. StOckwelly the well-knOwn
Main street auctiOncer, owned some
Of the furniture, and is a loser by
brcakagc. Two or three Of the girls
lost considerable sums of money, one
of them having Sl6j in greenbacks
in trunk, that was destroyed,
The fire originated from the cxplo,
sion of a coal Sil lamp.

Our space is too limited and time
too short to make an extended notice
of the grand Masonic ball, given in
honor Of the Grand Lodge, at joys
Opera House Friday evening. It
Pclipsed anything Of a kindred social
nature ever given in the city. The
hall was eIabOrntely, handsomely and
tastcfully decorated, and those hav.
ing the management Of the ball in
hand gave evidence Of their fitness
for conducting an afFeIr Of the kind.
The attendance was very large, the
immense room being crowded. The
toilets Of the ladies present we're rich
and fashionable, the most elegant
ever seen at similar gathering in
this city. The music was excellent,
the indulgrrS in the best Of spirits,
and the ball from beginning to end
was prolific in pleasure, and intensely
enjoyable for every one present. We
congratulate or Masons upon the
-ucc".> tfat crowned their efforts.

Without question, the banquet
furnished for the Masonic ball by
that prince of caterers, w. s. Mack,
was in every respect one Of the most
complete and elegant rcpasts ever
spread in Spokane Falls. The vacant
store room in Brownies Block was
occupied for the dining room, and
three tables stretched the full length
Of the room, giving seating room for
800 people. The tables were loaded
down with every dclicacy of, the
season, and prepared in style to
tickle the palate Of the most eXacting
cpicurcan. Pyramids Of oranges,
bananas and Strawberries decorated
the tables, while every variety Of
meats, salads, relishes, pastery and
confectionery occupied space on the
cloth. The display was rich in
viands and exceedingly beautiful to
the eye. Mr.. Mack Is deserving OF
great credit for the pains he took to
furnish a supper that could not be
surpassed in its quantity or quality.
There is not man In the upper
country who could have furnished d
better collation., and we very much
doubt il the spread could have beer
Cqualled in extent and variety.

SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1884.

AFTER long and anxious waiting,
the news reached this city about
half-past three O'Clock yesterday,
afternoon that JAMES G. BLAINE, Of
Maine had been nominated for Pres
ident by the Republican National
Convention at Chicago, No further
particulars were given than that
Blaine won on the fourth ballot.
The result was brought about by
the change of the vote of the
Illinois delegation. 1t was generally
understood that If the Illinois dele
CATION found that their man, John
A. Logan, was out of the race after
the first few ballots the vote of the
state would be thrown in favor of
the Plumed Knight. 1t seems that
the boys IRON the Great Prairie
States saw that their fuvorite had no
show, and feeling that the wishes of
the people should be respected, threw
their support to the strongest man
before the convention. While the
friends Of Blaine were sanguine and
have labOred hard to accomplish this,
result, yet so much opposition de-
velOped in the Convention that some
doubts were entertained as to the
ultimate result of the ballots. Blaine
will sweep the Pacific coast like a
whIrlwind, and it is safe to predict
that he will carry almost if not all
the northern States and develop un-
looked for strength in the South.
No nomination has been made for
years that has awakened such wide
spread enthusiasm, harbinger Of
victory to the party that has chosen
SuCll q lCdNtls lht tNdlllld ldiBl - hON
on, and will be hot one, full of the
bitter newspaper and oratorical de-
nunciations, charges and counter
charges, that charactcrizcs the macl-
strom of political fights every four
years, but in the end, when the 81
lent ballot decides the noisy prcfa-
tory warfare, the country will once
moro settle down to the monotOny
of peace, and all factions move to-
gethcr smoothly until the expiration
of the term Of Office, when the same
scenes will be re-cnacted.
Since the above was in type, we
learn that JOHN A. LOGAN, of nli-
nois, was the choice of the Convcn-
tiOn for Nice-Prcsidcnt. With such
Il strong combination as BLAINE
AND LOGAN in the field, success for
the dominant party is almost GER
tain,

Our young friend, J. II. Young,
one Of the proprietors Of the Spokane
Falls and Fort Spokane Stage Line,
informs us that a sharp thunder
shower struck the country west Of
this point Tuesday morning, and
quite heavy body of water fell.
During the storm the peals Of thun-
der and accompanying flashes Of
lightning were frequent and vivid.
Two valuable horses, the property
of Mr.. Rogers, were struck by the
electric fluid on the California ranch
ana instantly killed. The animals
were out in the open pasture when
struck. killing by lightning Is a
very rare occurrence in Eastern
Washington, but it is one Of those
freaks Of an element in which it Is
hard to put any reliance, that kicks
when and where it is least expected.
Makes no apology for its sudden in
trusion, and is irresistible in its
Titanic power.
