the rendezvous of the visitors and within it's walls tonight one thou sand or more voices are chanting cold water songs to the tunes of the hallelujah chorus and ''Old Hundred D Speculation is rife concerning the possible outcome of the convention. Since Governor St. Johns emphatic declination of the nom1- nation was made known most Of the delega- tions have been at sea. The son of Mellon aid, the San Francisco millionaire, is advo- eating his fathers candidacy with vigor and earnestness and is reported to have won the sympathies of a large number. Stewart of Ohio has many friends, but western delegates ex- press the opinion that he has not that per sonal magnetism which should be desirable element in a candidate. It is understood that there is a prospect of the boom of Butler being sprung on the convention, and if this is realized lively scene will ensue as several members of the conven- tion have primed themselves with arguments tending to demonstrate that such nomina- tion would be an impolitic one and one un- just to the best interests of the party. Con corning the vice presidency there is strong disposition to nominate one of the ladies who have been prominent in the temperance cause. At late hour tonight the anti Me Donald delegates decided to resist the nomi- nation of that gentleman on the ground that certain vinegar bitters in the manufacture of which he is alleged to be interested contain more or less alcohol. They also claim that ex-Governor St. John will accept the nomi- nation if it is forced upon him.

regard for the Republican name and the American character, was unfit to be made. They desire not to evade the proper responsibility of American citizens by declining to vote, and they desire also to make their votes effective as possible for honest and pure and wise administration How can such voters who at this election cannot conscientiously support the Repubh- can candidate promote the objects which they desire to accomplish more surely than by supporting the candidate who represents the qualities, the spirit and purpose which they all agree in believing to be of controlling importance in this election? No citizen can rlghtfully avoid the issue or refuse to cast his vote. The ballot is a trust. Every voter IS trustee for good government, bound to answer to his private conscience for his public acts This conference therefore, as stunning that Republican and Independent voters who for any reason cannot sustain the Republican nomination desire to take the course which under the necessary conditions and constitutional methods of presidential election will most readily and surely secure the result at which they aim, respectfully recommend to all such citizens to support the electors who will vote for Grover Cleveland in order to most effectually enforce their con- viction that nothing could more deeply stain the American name and prove more disas- trous to the public welfare than the deliber- ate indifference of the people of the United States to increasing public corruption and to the want of official integrity in the highest trusts of the government.
 A. resolution by MT. Bowker that a com mittee be appointed by the chair to make report during and after the campaign was tabled after short speech by MT. Holmes, of Connecticut. MT. Everett, of Massachu- setts, offered the following:
 Resolved, That Grover Cleveland, of New York, and Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana, be declared the nominees of the conference as candidates for President and Vice President
 After an animated discussion the resolution was laid on the table and the conference ad- journed.
 The National committee afterward met, MT. Cunning presiding. Reports from the States were read. The chair was authorized to appoint 8 committee of ten to supervise the work of the campaign. It was decided to devote the most attention to New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Jersey

DRIVEN OUT BY FIRE.
Widows and Children Left Homeless The Havoc Raised by a Fire in Glou-

cester.
 GLOUCESTER, Mass, July 22.-A terribly disastrous confagration started here this morning, in carpenter shop on Duncan street, which was occupied by Harvey & Tarr's block manufactory. The wind was blowing gale at the time, and before the fremen could get to work with any effect the flames had leaped to the surrounding build ings. The situation became alarming, and calls for help were sent to Lynn and Salem. At 12 o'clock the fire was brought under control Eighteen wooden buildings were consumed in two hours, and the loss may reach total of from $50, ,000 to $6O, ,O0O. The fire closely adjoins the territory of the former great fire. The firms burned out are: George L. Fears, cordage dealer; Otis L. Fears, oil clothing; William Read, liq- uor; Luther Hayden, junk; P Ballew, junk; The Gwendolen House, Mrs. MeDonald's dwelling house, Robert Fears sail-loft and Timothy Sanford & Son, fish dealers. The building occupied by Harvey & Tarr, block makers was totally destroyed, and the nexA to it, Henry Martins tenement house, was partially burned, and barn was consumed. William c. Lyman, Turner George and the families of John Mcdonald, Mrs. McAuley, Mrs. Webber and Mrs. Jordrey were burned out.
 The worst feature of the fire was the loss sustained by families, nearly all of whom are working people, and many of whom are fish erInen's widows with dependent children. A large frame dwelling owned by Patrick McCauley was partially destroyed and thor oughly drenched and gutted. A portion of the goods were removed in damaged condi- ton. The house was occupied by MT. Me Cauley, the owner, with his wife and four children; also by Daniel Mcdonald and wife and six children and number of boarders. All lose heavily. A frame dwelling owned by the heirs of Stephen Mcdonald was occu- pied by Mrs. Mediera, widow with three children. She lost every Mrs. Fanny Mcdonald with one child lost all Peter Jordrey, his wife and three children lost everything. The dwelling of Henry Martin who lies ill at the Massachusetts Gen eral hospital, was totally destroyed with all it's contents It was occupied by Mrs. Nee, 8 widow with three children. The house owned by Enlow Smith, which was totally destroyed, was occupied by McKinnon, his wife and three children, MT. Moore and wife and Mrs. Mclean, widow with four children. None of these saved any house owned by Parmenter, Rice & Co.,, saved only bed Mrs Cameron, a widow with one child, and Mrs. McIsaac, widow with four children, lost all. All these are homeless and with nothing except the cloth ing they wore. The appearance of the homeless widows and children in the muddy street gazing at the ruins of their dwellings was pitiful in the extreme and appealed strongly to the sympathies of the charitable.
