A STRANGE STORY.

Report that CleVelam0 rs 10 pc WItnurHWus
CHICAGO, July 9.-The following current
rumors are creating great excitement: II has
been ascertained from a gentleman occupying
confidential relations with many members OF
the New York delegation that Communications
are now being interchanged between Cleve-
lands followers in the New York delegation
and his friends at Albany and New York city,
with view of uniting all factions upon the
name of some New York man and the with
drawal of Cleveland. At 1 O'Clock this after
noon Mr.. John Kelly received telegram from
gentleman in New Yord, occupying high
post in the politics of that city, inquiriDg
whether the name of Abram S. Hewitt would
prove satisfactory to Mr.. Kelly. No reply has
yet been received. This inquiry, coming from
such confidential source, indicates that
Ceveland's own friends have suggested
Hewitt's name. Mr.. Kelly is represented as
being not unfriendly to Hewitt. 1t is said
that Cleveland's organizers held half hour
interview with Gen. Butler this morning and
rendered to him the position OF Secretary OF
the Treasury under Cleveland, if he came TO
Cleveland's support on the first ballot. Gen.
Butler promptly replied that he could not con-
sent to hold Cabinet office under o man so
unskilled in politics as Mr.. Cleveland was. In
making this reply to the overtute Gen. Buffers
language is said to have been more vigorous
than delicate, but it conveyed the contemptu-
GUS idea above mentioned.

that unless Mr.. Grady was going to second the
nomination he was not now in order, but the
chairman 0verruled the point, and said that as
he had recognized Mr.. Grady that gentleman
must be heard.
Mr.. Grady said that he should be glad to
second Mr.. Cleveland's nomination, except
that he knew that that gentleman could not
carry New York. A sure and unerring test of
that fact was the last Democratic convention
of New York, which was equally divided
against him, and the delegates at large were
divided between his friends and opponents.
At this point Mr.. Bragg of Wisconsin rose
to make point Of order, but his voice was
drowned by shouts and yells from the galleries.
When there was some degree of order the
point of order made by Mr.. Bragg was waived
unanimous consent. He said that the object
of the convention was to make nomination
for the presidency that would be ratified by
the people at the polls. He did not claim that
the Irish or Catholics were against Cleveland's
nomination, but the ant-monopolist elements
of the State and the laboring interest of the
State-Catholic and Protestant, irish, German
and AmerlcSn-were opposed to his nomina-
ton and would be opposed to his election. Mr..
Cleveland had been elected in 1882 by major
ity of $4,000, but the last election in that
State showed Republican majority of IS ,5s7,
making a change of oil 600 in the Democratic
vote. Mr.. Grady went on to discuss the veto
of the elevated railroad bill and to show how
that veto was injurious to the working classes
He declared that the State of New York
could not be carried by Mr.. Cleveland, not be-
cause of any Irish question or any Catholics,
but because of the anti-monopoly cues
ten, in which the people had a
deep-seated feeling that no man could
be worse to them in that regard than
Mr.. Cleveland. He knew of but one occasion
on which Mr.. Cleveland had been called upon
to show his hand as to whether he was a Dem
ocrat or something elss and Mr.. Cleveland
proved at that time to be something else. He
denied that the fight against Mr.. Cleveland
was the same fight as had been made eight
years ago. II the candidate was to: come from
New York, some man should be taken
who would not be antagonized by these antag-
onistic elements, but the Democracy of New
York took no such position. The Democracy
could carry New York for Thurman, Bayard,
Mcdonald or Randall, but not for Cleveland.
New York was safe State if the Democratic
party was kept solid, but not otherwise. Mr.
Grady was frequently interrupted by shouts
and yells from the galleries, and such cries as
make that speech for Blaine being heard
The chairman finally threatened to have the
galleries cleared If order was not maintained

was that this was not State convention, but

It was observable that part of the Ohio dele

Running Up Stream,
Galena ILL., Gazette.


The novel sight of the Mississippi
lowing up stream was witnessed at
North Pepin recently when the Chip
pewa poured such volumes Of water
into the lower end of the lake that
it could not escape down stream. A
number Of illustrative incidents are
noted by the Pcpin Star. A mail
carrier and his companion found it
beyond their power to row sliti'
down the Mississippi to a point OPP
posite the mouth Of the Chippewa.
So great was the violence with which
the roaring torrent poured out ofthc
latter river against the Minnesota
bluffs above Reeds landing that the
water recoiled, bubbling, eddying
and dividing. and even staying the
current of the great Mississippi that
runs at q velocity of three miles per
hour, and turning it back up stream
at the same rate. Logs, drift-wood
and all manner of debris floated up
the Mississippi River into Lake Pc
pin, and on above the red, muddy
waters of the Chippewa could be
seen even to Lake City. Thesteam-
er Robert Dodd was unable to tow
a raft out Of the mouth of the lake.
The steamer Pepin encountered a
stout resistance on Friday to get by
the mouth Of the Chippewa, in pass
ing to and from Reeds landing. An
other steamer, with araft IN tow was
| twelve hours pushing from Prescott
to the head of Lake Pcpin, the usu-
al time being six hours. This is
easily explained. The head OF the
lake is not any higher than the Chip
pewa is at the ferry crossing at the
"Flowcr Pot" At Pcpin the water
level ~ lower. Prescott Is seven
feet higher by the railroad survey
than the head Of the lake, distance
Of thirty miles. The rise at that
place from the Chippewa alone, was
estimated at four or FIVE feet. This
affected the running current above
Red Wing and undoubtedly deaden-
ed the velocity Of the Mississippi
unaffected by external causes. The
river is stationary at the top of the
rise, l4.6, which it reached yesterday
morning. 1t is falling all the way
above Dubuque---at st. Paul it reg
listers 3.l0--and is rising from Du-
buque to st. Louis.

There is . certain easy, good ma
tnred Incidence, that takes things
rs they come, and submits to almost
any convenience, rather than make
a fuss, which is much praised and
fostered. It has its good points. TO
fret and fume over little troubles, to
worry ones self and every one A.
round to no purpose, about what
cannot be helped, is silly in the ex.
treme. But when the selfshness and
carelessness Of few persons serious
" interferes with the comfort Of
many, or when in any way the best
interests of the community demand
es an alteration, then patient silence
and good natured passivity are at q
discount. Not by fretting and fun
ing, but by wisely taking such steps
as the circumstances call for, may the
real principal of freedom be upheld
TO mind ones own business, andl
other peoples alone,n is excellent
doctrine, only we must DO very sure
that we include in the former clause
all that really belongs to it, and not
make it pretcxt for Sinking any
responsibility that falls to our share.
