Democracy would swim without hlm u

after the death. There Is no other man
having any possibility OF nomination oy
the Democrats that would vote TOT IN
preference 10 Blaine. Blaine Is horough-
iy American. and the American people, A.
well A. the Irish, are getting tired OF BTU
lsh funkeyism In this country. The re
publican platform adopted Al chicago Is
the best that has ever been pat ior"afi
by either Democrats or Repuohcans. Nv.

q. Blaine Is my choice against the whole

tude while Secretary OF State. The Amer
Ican foreign policy adhered 10 for years
past, and carried by both diplomatic and
consular agencies, has been standing IN
sult 10 rfty millions OF Americans. Under
a Blaine administration all this would be
changed. As an adopted citizen OF Amer

4. Campbell, President OF the Knights OF
81. Vincent, said; "The Republicans are
making large gains from the Democratic

edge Of its truth, having perhaps larger
acquaintance among the young men OF

CONVENTION CHAT.
Senator Sabin's Preferences,

CHICAGO, June 5.-The attention of Senator
Sabln having been called to published state
ments originating in Minnesota. that he had
been elected delegate to the National Con-
vention on pledge that he would support
Blaine, remarked that on the contrary no such
issue had been made, and that it had been
well known for a year that his first choice had
been Arthur, on the ground that he would be
strong before the people. He SAID he was
friendly to Blaine, but that he had been assur-
ed by friend of ex-senator Blaine that he
was not only not q candidat but did not want
to be candidate. There had been no doubt
about his preference anywhere. He was not
tied to any one, and would exercise his best
Judgment in aiding the selection Of candi-
date who could be elected.
Democratic Comments ON the pIatfor,,,
WASHINGTON, June GA bulletin announo-
ing the purport of tho Republican platform
relative to the tariff, adopted at Chicago, ere.
ated much interest among the members of the
House.
Mr.. Morrison says that the plank means the
Republicans will keep all they have got, and
get all they can.
Mr.. Hewitt of New York, says the action of
the Republicans means that they want to
humbug the people. They tell the working
man he is to have protection; the business
man that the obstacles to trade will be remoy-
ed. The ways and means committee had bet.
ter go to work and do something now.
Mr.. Carlisle says the action of the oonven-
ton is a complete straddle of the question.
Mr.. Springer characterizes its action as SO
piece OF jugglery to catch all classes of voters.
MIR. Hiscock says it means an increase of
duty.
Messrs. Mills and Jones Of Arkansas. saw
the Republicans are lodging the question.
Nh. Eaton says: "0f course they want re-
vision. They did not favor the Morrison bill
did they?
Mr.. Herbert says: 81 expected this. We
have lost the golden opportunity. The action
taken is, however, nothing but q DODGE
Mr.. Blount considered the tariff plank as
complete dodge.

BLAINE AT HOME.

How He Passes the Time In AuHussa.
AUGUSTA, July 5--Mr. Blaine was seen sauntar-
ing up the street from his residence towards the
Augusta House yesterday. After awhile he return
ed down the street, leading by the hand the little
three year old child of neighbor Rev. Mr.. Thatch-
ers, with whom he was holding animated converse
ton in conventional baby style. He Is great faV-
orite with all the children in the vicinity. Mr..
Blaine soon went into the house to work upon his
history, which, he says, he has got well in hand,
and shall surely have it completed by the contract
time.
During the morning Mr.. Blaine called upon Mr..
CALDWELL another neighbor, and had a long chat
with him. To him he intimated that he thought
the disposition of the convention was to scalp him.
The grand baby is a source Of much interest In
the neighborhood. During Mr.. Blaines morning
Walk he met several acquaintance, among them
MIs Ex-Governor Common, with whom he passed sew
Srl moments In lively conversation. One OF Mrs.
Connors children was with her, beautiful little
girl OF four years. She insisted upon being taken
out and lifted up to kiss Mr. BlaiBe No one would
ever imagine that the chances of becoming the
standard-be OF great party were ever thought
OF oy MI Bldue, to see him romping along the
lawn or promenading the shady walks Of State
street playing with children, and greeting famil-
iarly and pleasantly the friends whom he meets:
rushing into the middle of the street to shake hands
with some old farmer, and filling the mind Of that
worthy with all sorts Of exalted notions OF himself
by asking how he managed TO keep his crops from
being frozen or killed during the bitter cold of last
week. WV " '''''
Last evening few personal friends called upou
him, but nothing Of political nature entered into
the conversation. He simply won't talk politics ex-
cept with his most intimate friends

APPORTIONING DELEGATES.
The Minority Report and How II was
Received.
Special to the Boston Journal.)

CHICAGO, June 5.-The minority of the commit
tee, consisting of the members from New York In
diana, Massachusetts, Connecticut, West VIRGINIA
and other States, reported through Hon. K. B.
BISHOP, changing the apportionment of delegates to
future conventions fir the present system in that
each congressional district is to have one delegate
and an additional delegate for each additional TO-
QUO Republican votes. A colored delegate moved
to table the report. Mr.. Bishop made an admirably
clear exposition of the minority side of the ques-
ton. Mr.. Sargent, of Indiana, seconded Mr.. Bsh-
ops motion to adopt the new plan, saying that no
ton.
Judge Bradley of Kentucky eoquently repre-
sented the So thern side of the question declaring
in impassioned strains that the time might come
when the gallows now to be erected, might hang
some Northern Republicans, and pledging that il
Virginia, Florida and North Carolina would vet
in spite of Democratic shot-guns, give their
electoral to the Republicans. Cries for Lynch
from all parts of the house brought the eloquent
colored man to his feet, and soon he was seen
he received an ovation. His speech was a very elo
quent porti ayal of the difficulties and dangers
which surround Southern Republicans. He wanted
the representation of the South in Congress- re-
duced in proportion to the Acknowledgement of the
colored men. This would be far better and far
more just than to turn the colored men out of the
National Convention. Mr. Lynch created a Ianob
by saying that the practical result of the proposi
ton would be to say to him and his friends tswe
Will only admit you on what the Democrats choose
TO give you" Their official returns were utterly
fraudulent. i1
The debate which followed, though short. was nv
1ar the most brl liant that has vet occurred The

When Ohio was called Judge Foraker made

demonstration of their candidates popularity.

When the excitement had subsidized Judge
Foraker concluded amid great applause. 1t

entation of the name of George f. Edmunds Of
Vermont, by Ex-Governor Long of Massachu-
sets in speech, which in fibre and rhetoric
surpassed any that had preceded it and he was
followed by George William Curtis, who
did not conclude until nearly one o'clock.
