RANDALLs SUPPORT.
The Deep Interest in the Saratoga Con-
YentiOn.

YentiOn.
The limited support of Mr.. Randall,
says a New York Times Washington
special, loses heart in the contemplation
of the unyielding hostility to his nomina-
tion in the South and West. Yet the ex-
Speaker will make the fight with bulldog
determination, encouraged by the belief
that he is the legitimate Elisha of the
lately translated Elijah of Greystone. A
prominent Philadelphia delegate to the
Democratic Convention next month was
at the capitol to-day giving assurances of
an energetic fight for Randalrs nomina-
tion, based upon statements of fattering
support from Ohio and New York and a
practically unanimous support from
Pennsylvania. Attention will centre
upon the Saratoga Convention in a day or
two, and the action of that body will be
awaited with even more concern than
was felt by the Republicans in the action
OF the Utica Convention. Mr.. Randall
admits that it will be very important
gathering in its bearing upon the Chicago
contest

A SHREWD sWINDLER.
He Pretends to Buy Farms and Live
on the Fat of the Land.


on the Fat of the Land.
A few days ago it was reported that a
Mr. George Livingstone had purchased the
Nealley farm for $4,000, says Bangor,
Me-, special to the Boston Globe. 1t turns
out that Livingstone is an impostor. He
left this part of the country, but before
doing so borrowed S15 of Mr.. Lufkin. of
Orrington, and, as alleged, stole some
shirts from a man who worked for LufIkin.
Tuesday night Livingstone took Mr., Neal
ley's horse and drove to Lagrange, where
he left the horse, saying that it belonged
to Mr.. Nealley. 1t is thought Livingstone
took the train for the West. His actions
are certainly very strange, and it is
thought he may possibly be
partially insane. He represents
himself to be a. rich man.
but it does not appear that he had any
money. He may be a harmless mono-
maniac on the question Of buying prop
erty. 1t is the opinion of some who know
about Livingstone that he is crank and
pretty shrewd one. BY pretending to
buy farms he gets good living. He is
treated to the best the farmers have, drives
out with women, and nothing in the pantry
is too rich for him. He may possibly be
the same person who, last winter, bought
numerous bulls and horses in Kennebec
county, and then, after having been
royalty entertained for several DAYS, sud
denly disappeared. Some officers think
he is still in Piscataquis, and if so he NAV
bargain for the entire county and so he

The news of the strange affair soon
spread, and any number of people went
down to the dock to see the steamboat.
The Commodore was kept busy telling
his story, and the people that swarmed
about him reminded him, he said, of the
crowds of insects that he saw the night
before.

scarcely a probability that he will get more
than i've votes from this city. Mr.. Flower
does not seem to have made any serious
headway in his canvass. He has many
friends, but few of them regard him as
strong candidate. On the other hand,
Gov. Cleveland has the support of the
county Democracy, Tammany Hall and
Irving Hall. All talk of quarrel among
these organizations has died out, and yes
terday there was a perfect harmony of
sentiment. In the light of past bitter ex-
periences, and in the face of the great op-
portunity offered to the Democratic party
at large in the coming Presidential cam
paign. the metropolitan factions have re-
solved to bury all differences and be a

ury to the Visiting Statesmen.
A long line Of men, says the Chicago
Nelos, with purses of every sort, moved
slowly up to the cashiers window at the
Palmer House, Saturday morning. A
policeman stood at the head of the col
umn, and two others patrolled the line to
keep it in order. Two clerks stood within
the railing. One arranged the bills of
rooms as they were called, and the other
handled the money. The line was CON-
posed of delegates and visiting statesmen.
Similar scenes were presented in the ro-
tundas of the Grand Pacific, the Leland,
the fremont, the Sherman, and other ho-
tells of the city. Their bills varied from
Sl5 to $500, according to the luxury of
their accommodations.
''We had 1900 people," Sam Turner of
the Grand Pacific said, ''and that was
about the number we expected. We could
have accommodated more, but only at an
inconvenience to ourselves and our
guests"
''Were any rooms occupied singly?'
''A very few. We did not like to let
them that way. 1t took up too much
space and crowded out too many people.
When man asked for a single room we
told him he could not have it. Some of
them who came early and wanted the
room regardless of cost got it, but the
rooms so assigned were the smallest in
the house. One or two rooms in which
six persons could have slept were rented
at $25 day. Some of the parlors rented
at $50 day. They were occupied by
men and their wives.c
Are there many men in the country
who will take rooms at $50 day?'
ga good many, but the occasions on
which they come are so different that we
do not have many OF them at a time.
Senator Hill, of Colorado, generally pays
$50 day for his accommodations if the
house is crowded.
Glow about the rooms occupied as
headquarters ~
They cost from $50 to $500, the highest
price being for the ladies' ordinary,
which was the Blaine headquarters. The
club rooms rented at about $3.50 day, ac-
cording to the number of cots they would
have contained"
Senator Malone paid $100 day for his
room and board at the Palmer House, and
MIR. Daggett, Of the New York delegation,
paid $50.

LONDON, June 15.-Sir Charles Dilke's
paper, The Weekly Dispatch, says
Mr.. Gladstone, in frankly conversrng with
one of his warmest supporters, declared
that he expected to be out of office in a

franchise bill to the House of Lords, and
then dissolve Parliament and appeal to
the country. The programme for the
Egyptian conference will be withheld un-
til a response has been received from the
powers to Earl Granville's note in relation
to the conference. The electoral agents
