HUNDREDS OF LAW SUITS.

The Receivers of the Wabash Railroad
Make a Showing of the Task Before
Them.
ST. LOUIS, June 25.-The receivers of
the Wabash Railroad have filed petition
in the United States Court concerning a
large number of suits now pending
against the company. The petition recites
that there are now pending against the
company two hundred and siXty-seven
suits in Missouri of an aggregate OF $780,
600, one hundred and fOrty-two in Iowa
for S24O,000, two hundred and six in Illi-
nois for 100000, one hundred and twenty
seven in indiana for $4,000, thirteen in
Ohio for $l96,000, two in Michigan for
100000, one in Nebraska for $S17, 200, and
several others in New York, Massachu-
setts, Kansas and Wisconsin. making the
total of over $4,000. 600. These suits are
growing out of the cOnstruc-
tion Of roads, and the receivers
think that if they are properly defended
or compromised il viii require only from
100000 to S150,000 to satisfy them. An
other petition recites that judgments to
the amount of $247, 900 have been rem
dered against the company, or are now
pending, in appellate courts in Michigan,
| Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Iowa.
| Other petitions are filed asking that the
/ receivers be empowered to adjust claims
| for damage to person or property so as to
save expensive litigation, to purchase
new equipments and pay for roll
| ing stock, and tor various other
/ things deemed necessary for the success
/ full operation Of the road. The court or
! dered the receivers to defend the pending
suits and adjust claims not exceeding
| $4,000, and ordered all other petitions to
be referred TO Special Master Allen.

to order at 1890 O'Clock this morning by
Hon. Joseph E. Mcdonald, Chairman of
the State Central Committee, Mr.. Nc
Donald was received with applause. A
call of the counties showed all repre-
sented. Prayer was offered by DR.. Allen.
who asked blessing upon the grand old
Democratic party, which was greeted
with cheers. Daniel w. Voorhees, was
elected permanent President. He made
but few remarks. The platform was read
by Hon. w. II. English. The plank in
dorsing Mr.. Mcdonald was loudly
cheered. After the adoption of the plat
form /. 2. Gray, NJ. D. Manson, and Da-
vid Turpee were placed in nomination for
Governor. On the first ballot Gray was
nominated, he receiving 500 votes, Turpee
223, and Manson 1S1. Manson made a
speech, Saying that he had supposed that
soldier of two wars would have received
more consideration in a Democratic con-
vention, but he was satisfied, and moved
that the nomination be made unanimous.
Mr.. Turpee followed in a brief speech.
Mr.. GRAY responded at some length.
Several nominations were made for
Lieutenant Governor, but all withdrew
in favor Of Mr.. Manson, who was nomi-
mated by acclamation.
w. r. Meyers, of Madison, was nomi-
mated for Secretary of State, j. H. Price
for Auditor, and John j. Cooper. for
Treasurer, was renominated by acclama-
tion.
One clause in the platform says:
We insist that FadaraI favoa h, wo.5....-a
to the lowest point consistent with efficiency
in the public service, and we demand a re-
vision and reform of the present unjust tariff.
The constitution of the United States which
is the only source Of taxing power cOnfers on
Congress the power to establish tariff for
revenue, and, as just exercise of that power.
we favor such an adjustment of its provisions
within the revenue standard as win relieve
as far as possible. the necessaries of life from
the burdens OF taxation, and derive the pr1n-
clpal amount of revenue for the support of
the government economically administered
from luxuries, and such tariff should be adj
1usted without favcritlsm so as to monODolize
and thus in effect promote labor and the i'm
terests OF the laboring people Of the United
States.
The platform fayors the enforcement of
national eigh-thour law, the use Of
prison labor in such manner as not to
compete with free labor, demands the en-
torcement of the laws against Chinese
immigration and all importation of labor
under contracts.
The resolutions highly commend the
course of Daniel w. Voorhees, and his
Democratic associates in Congress and
proceeds:
1t will be the mission Of the Democratic
party TO foster and build up the great huai-

ness and material interests of the country, and
restore the government to the purity of ear
her days. To successfully accomplish this q
man should be placed In the Presidential
caair IN whom business men of the coun-
try and the people have implicit
confidence: man fully endowed with the
qualities desirable in the head Of the great
American republic; a man with pure and
spotless personal and political record, and
always sound upon all the great questions OF
the times. We know Joseph f. Mcdonald, of
Indiana, TO be such man. We respectfully
give his name TO the people Of the United
states as that OF man worthy to be their
President, and we hereby instruct the dele
Llonal Convention to support his nomination
Tor that high Office as unit, and use all hon.
orable means to secure his nomination.
The declaration on temperance was in
favor OF standing faithfully by the rights
Of property and personal liberty gparan-
teed by the constitution, but with dis
tinct declaration in favor of sobriety and
temperance, and all proper means for the
promotion of those virtues. The license
system was suggested as better than the
extreme measures which subvert per-
sonal liberty, bring law into disrepute,
and make people sneaks and hypOcrites.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Private advices
from Peno Blanca, south of Fort Davis,
Texas, say that the great water from
above on the Rio Grande has come down,
and is now filing the grand canons of
San Carlos, San Vicente, and the Rio
Grande, a depth of more than 300 feet,

into Ottar creek, just above the old Pre-
sidio of San Vicente, covering all the
splendid grazing plains along it, and
sweeping off stock on the American side.
In Presidio and Palcos counties there is
no lack Of water. All the mountain
tanks and natural reservoirs were full to
overhOwing. Such a wondrous pluyiaI
dispensation has not been known in fifty
years. The grass is green and luXuriant

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The best in
formed men on the Democratic side of the
House say that they have now no doubt
that Cleveland has majority of the New
York delegation, and that he will be NOM
mated at Chicago. Their private advices
from New York show that Cleveland has
between fifty and sixty of the New York
delegation. The list of delegates pub
lished by the anti-Cleveland men in which
Cleveland is given 80 and the
opposition 81 votes is full of mis-
takes. Oddly enough they all agree in
the votes set down as opposed to- CleVe-
land. Abram S. Hewitt is one of those set
down as opposed to Cleveland, who is
really for him. He said to-day that he
never had been asked to state his prefer
ence. but that he was for Cleveland. Smith
Nj. Weed and Erastus Corning are in the
same category. Representative Wemple,
who attended the Saratoga Convention,
says that though Kelly, Grady, and large
number of their followers, are opposed to
Cleveland, there are still a majority Of the
prominent Tammany men who are
friendly to him. He says that

INDIANAPOLIS, June 25.-Austin II
Brown, of this city, Chairman of the Press
Committee Of the Democratic National
convention, has received and registered
several hundred applications for press
privileges. Those from daily papers alone
call for more than double the space al
lowed for special reporting. Many who
expect desk privileges must be disap-
pointed, ana will have to be satisfied with
seats in the auditorium. At the meeting
of the subcommittee at Chicago last
week it was decided that no club or asso-
citation should be admitted as such or
ganizations, and their members must look
to delegates for fickate
