DALY'S DEFENSE

Does Not Convince the Jury and He Gees
Over the TramwaI for Niuety Nine
Years.
LONDON, August 1.-The trial Of the al
legged dynamiters, John DAILY, James Egan
and VIM. Mcdonnell, which began at War
wick on Wednesday, is drawing to close.
DAILY began his address to the jury to-day,
and made powerful argument in his
own behalf. His voice was good and
his delivery fine. After reviewing
the testimony of the prosecution be
argued that there had been nothing
of a criminal character proved against him
except that he had travelled under an alias
and this he did not consider was q criminal
act as the Queen herself had repeatedly
travelled under an assumed 1ame. Daly
spoke for two hours, and in conclusion said
that all he wanted was justice, not mercy
and his rights as citizen and not favor!
The trial who concluded this afternoon
Mcdonnell, who pleaded guilty to treason
! and felony. was released on bail to appear
at any time if called upon. James Egar
was sentenced to penal Servitade for y
years and John psly for life.

little colored boy, five or six years old,
which, the fiction was supposed to be, he
had picked up on the line Of Sherman's

Among the notables (no pun intended on
this word) present at the reunion were Gen
erals W. I. (Will Talk) Sherman and J. A.
(Jack A. Logan. General Logan rode in
the grand parade spirited bay horse which
seemed proud of its burden. He is good

bestrode curved its neck and pranced The

Minneapolis is two-to-one Republican town
complexion, so ''our Jack" was cheered to
his hearts content. He seemed to enjoy
the applause, too, and frequently -her grace
fully raised his hat and saluted the.crowd
in return. Between managing his horse
and his hat his hands were kept busy.
The Evening Festivities
at the camp were an important part on the
great parade days proceedings, probably
$4,000 people being gathered there listening
TO the music and the speeches. Loud and
continued calls for Logan we're made by

report prevailed that Black Jack had wres-
tied with Apple Jack and had been badly
thrown. After repeated calls for Black
Jack a colored aristocrat named Hector,
from Piusburg, took the floor and said that
as General Logan was not there and as he
was probably the next blacklist man present
he would presume to address them. He
then proceeded TO torture them with
an original poem which bore the
rather contraaictorsry title OF The Free
dom Of the Slave" As might have been
expected the recitation brought the perfor

never tried reading bad poetry to disperse

Riot Act, but 10 fire right bad quality Of
blank verse at them would make them melt

Logan mate two speeches during the
reunion but had sufficient good taste to
AVOID all political illusions. That is
he was polit' Ienough to not be political. His
speeches contained good deal Of high.

seemed to be all moonshine" His rea-

good deal Of animation, as is well known
and becomes very much absorbed in his
subject, which is probably the reason that
his predicate so frequently fails to agree

New YORK, August Geo. o. Jones
chairman of the Greenback State Commit
tee, is bewildered The Greenback party
nominated General Butler for President, but
the General has issued no letter accepting
the nomination. Meanwhile the Greenback
party waits. Mr.. Jones was so incautious
as to express the impatience of the Green
hackers at General Buffers inaetion. Then
the Boston Evening Traveller of Tuesday
last published purported interview with
General Butler in which that candidate ex-
pressed considerable dislike of Mr.. Jones.
The General is represented to have said
that Mr.. Jones opposed his nomination, but
that he secured his nomination in spite of
him, and that now all that Mr. Jones has to
do is to organize the Greenbackers Of New
York State to support the candidate of the
Greenback party for President. Mr.. Jones
is greatly surprised by this attack upon him
by Gen. Butler. He cannot believe that the
interview isa genuine one. Yesterday he sent
a letter to the Boston Traveller, in which
he says, The errors, lack of correct reason
ing and unseemly language contained in
the article referred to compel me to think
some enemy of General Butler must have
prepared it aud sent it over the wires for
the purpose of injuring his reputation for
veracity, good sense and good manners, the
want Of which / never before saw evidence
Of" Mr.. Jones then denies General But
ler's ASSERTION that he holted the Greenhack
Convention, and recounts his efforts to se-
cure support for General Butler among the
Greenbackers. Mr.. Jones says that he has
read all of General Buffers statements and
letters, but can not perceive that the Gen
eral has vet accepted the Greenback party's
nomination. Mr.. Jones expresses his grief
that he is not permitted to share General
Buffers confidence. The letter closes with
another expression of his doubt that the
Travellers interview is a genuine one.

CONSERVATION Mt Democratic Hsadquar-
ters Over an Article In the New York
sun-People Wondering What ft Means.
WASHINGTON, August IL Exclusive i
There is CONSERVATION at Democratic head
quarters to-day over significant article in
the New York Sun of this morning. The
excitement reaches all parts Of the city and
is the one topic of conversation. The srti-
Gle which causes this sensation is in the
shape of letter and is signed Veteran
Observer" 1t is only communication to
the editor, but as it appears: double-leaded
on the editorial page, under the caption,
"Never Too Late to Mend" it is evident
that it bears the emphasis of Mr., Dana's
approval. 1t is this which causes the effect
of surprise and CONSERVATION to the party.
The letter is in the nature of lament at
the action of the Democratic convention in
ignoring Tlden and substituting Cleveland.
1t concludes with these words "But is it
too late now to mend the matterH No, it
isn't. 1t never is.
Mr.. Dana Wants Tilden.
Let the Democratic National committee
tell Mr.. Cleveland that his nomination was
a mistake at any rate, or premature, and he
cannot hesitate to retire, for he must see
that that would secure success to the ticket
at once, and great credit to himself. But
would Mr.. Tlden in that event be persuaded
to consent to the use of his name. Mr.. Til
den is a patriot as well as statesman. He
would do anything to serve his country.
He has no false pride. His consent under
such circumstances would be the crowning
glory of his life, and the people would all
