 Of His Nomination to the Presidency A Big Demonstration in Albany TO- night.
 ALBANY, N. Y, July 28.-The hotels are slowly filling with politicians. Several mem bers of the National committee have arrived and the remainder will be here in the morn ing A meeting of the committee will be held at 10 a. m. tomorrow to receive the re- ports of committees on plans of the cam paign and the selection of headquarters in
 New York. It is expected Chairman Bar mum will announce the executive committee. The notification committee will arrive from
 New York in the morning The Albany
 phalanx will escort them to the executive
 mansion where the ceremony is to take place. Nothing is talked of around the hotels but
 the demonstration of tomorrow night. The
 Cleveland men declare they will open the
 campaign in manner that will astonish the
 State and the country. The report that
 press is incorrect. According to some pa-
 pers," said the Governor to-day, ''the letter
 is written, but say it is not. It will be time enough to write it after I have been of
 ficiallyTnotifed of my nomination. No, have not committed my thoughts to paper
 yet"
 l Late tonight the local managers say they will not indulge in big parade since it might disturb the ratification meetings. The phalanx and one or two clubs from neighbor-
 ing towns will simply escort the speakers to
 the halls Congressman Dorsheimer will pre- side over the meeting at the Leland and John
 E. Devlin over that at Music Hall. Messrs.
 Carlisle and Randall have been added to the
 list of speakers, but it is doubtful whether
 they will be in the city. Colonel Villas will
 speak at Music Hall and General F. A. Col lins of Boston at the Leland. The opening
 meeting will be addressed by local speakers.

ARATTLING GLOVE FIGHT.
CIeary and Burke Fight a Draw with
 the Gloves.

the Gloves
 NEW YORK, July 28.-Irving Hall was crowded tonight by a very large number of gentlemen and sports to witness the glove fight, Marquis of Queensbury rules, between Mike Cleary and Jack Burke. Previous to the grand glove encounter several lesser lights donned the mittens and showed what they could do with their hands. Professor William Mcclellan and Ed. Hummer were chosen referees with Billy Edwards as time keeper. Mike Cleary weighed 160. pounds, stands 5 feet S15 inches and is twenty-seven years of age. Jack Burke is thirty-two years old weighs 165 pounds and stands , feet 915 inches. Both men were in prime condition. The first round was very tedious affair, only five blows being struck. Burke led at the chest and was short, then he got home on the mouth. His next visitation was at the chest, Cleary countering in the stomach, but before he could get back Burke hit him in the mouth again.
 The second round was a little more lively, Cleary planting a sharp blow on the chest and Burke was short in his return. Then came some counters; after which Burke
 visited the mouth and Cleary the stomach.
 This was repeated. Burke then put in three
 hits, on the nose another on the mouth
 and the next on the chest. This brought
 on some rapid exchanges, when Burke got
 home again the mouth, chest and nose
 twice, Cleary failing to reach his mark in the return.
 No sooner had they toed the scratch for the third rouud than Burke became very az gressive, dashing his left hand on Cleary's nose, following it by punches on the jaw, nose, eye and chest again. C1eary countered in light manner, but the major portion of his returns were either short or badly caleu- lated. Burke's leads were straight and eff fective, invariably landing on the mouth
 In the fourth and last round Burke led off on the mouth, but was neatly and heavily countered. He tried again at the nose and Cleary hit him in the stomach. The coun- ters were about even, but when Burke tried to make lead he planted them on the face, paying no attention to Cleary's body blows. Seven times in succession Burke got home the Bowery boys fgurehead and always had a shade the best of the counters. When time was called the judges were divided, Me Lellan voting for Cleary, while Hummer gave the verdict to Burke and the audience applauded the return

Ground Several Times During the Search For Greedy.
 WASHINGTON, July 28.-A brief prelimi- , nary report from Captain Schley came by mail to-day to Admiral Nichols, acting Sec retary of the Navy. The report is dated St. Johns, July 21, and merely states that in prosecuting the search for the Greedy party it was often found necessary to take greater risks in navigation than are ordinarily justi- fable, the waters navigated were in the main unknown, i1nperfectly surveyed and their dangers uncharted. The course was to a great extent covered with ice, and although great prudence was constantly exercised, both the Thetis and Bear grounded several times, but without sustaining serious injury Captain Schley purposely avoided reference to these mishaps in his first telegraphic re- port for fear of causing uneasiness, but in his final report will furnish minute state ment covering the circumstances attending each miShap

BLAINE AT BAR EIARBOR.

His Family Anxious to Shun Publicity
 BAR HARBoR, Me, July 28.-It daily be- comes clearer that Mr. Blaine came to Bar Harbor for the purpose of avoiding publicity. He seldom appears on the streets and receives none but social callers. His and family like any other family summering here enter into social gaieties with the others The household seems to desire notice either in the way of entire seclusion or as leaders of society None of them went to church yesterday and this morning beyond a short walk with his sons MT. Blaine has remained quiet. His secretary, MT. Sherman, ran down to Bucksport on Saturday, returning to Augusta this morning. He says there is so much work on hand that he is doubtful of getting to Bar Harbor this summer unless MT. Blaine should decide to shift his head quarters to where he can have matters under his eye.

CHINESE GORDON's POSITION.
Stanley Thinks Hets all Right.

Stanley Thinks He is all Right.
 LONDON, July 28.-Henry M. Stanley, the distinguished explorer, arrived at Plymouth to-day on a visit from the Congo region. In an interview he expressed the belief that General Gordon would have no difficulty in escaping from Khartoum if he so desired by way of the Congo. The Nile deserts could be crossed without any risk to health and Gen eral Gordon was known t o ave on store enough food to carry him through and enough powder and ammunition to make him 8 match for any force that Fl Mahdi could send to oppose him. MT: Stanley ridicules the idea of sending military expedition to succor Gordon and says it is needless. He is convinced that Gordon has the game in his own hands.
 Mir. Stanley considers his work on the Congo finished. He speaks in most glowing terms of the future of that fertile region and rejoices that the Portuguese treaty is to be abandoned, as the influence of Portugal in West Africa has been productive only of bad results
