AT " or three minutes after II, DR.. Clinton
Locke, canon Of the Protestant Episcopal
cathedral in Chicago, led in prayer.
In response to q motion, the chair
said the regular order was b~alloting for presi.
dent, such would be commenced. Penn.
sylvania thanked the supporters of
Mr.. Randall and then Withdrew his name.
Ihe roll call commenced at IL 30, and went
aiong swiftly without any change worth the
noting, though each state was received with a
cheer it was soon determined that Homer
Cleveland of New York was the NOM
lnee, and states for others made
haste to change, Missouri came into line with
thlrty-two solid, and then people forgot their
WEAKNESS. A huge anchor OF white flowers.
surmounted by an eagle, was borne through
the aisles by a New Yorker, and placed behind
the speakers desk. Bragg of Wisconsin threw
the states standard into the air, and at twenty
minutes of ], Victory as she perched on the
cleveland banners, found a host drum with
joy to receive her.
The following was the result of the ballot:
Cleveland. .........6S3 Mcdonald. .. Q
Bayard.. .......... SlIoI -
ThuTman."..":.. 4 TOtal............82O
Hendricks ......... 45s choice -. ST
Then there was the usual hurrah. such as al
ways follows events of this chatacter The
nomination -as made unanimous.
The convention took a recess to 5 o'clock
p. m, and the first business was the adop-
Icn or a resolution electing Mr.. Villas,
chairman of the convention, as Chairman
of the committee to notify the nom
inees of their selection as candidates. A tele-
gram was read from the president of the New
York Produce exchange stating that the bus
mess men of New York were solid for Cleve-
land The names of Joseph Mcdonald of Ind.
John c. Black of ILL.,, Gen. Rosecrans of
of Cal, and Gov. Hendricks of Ind.
were presented for Vice President
But all save Hendricks, were withdrawn.
one by one, so that Mr.. Hendricks, name alone
remained before the convention. Hubbard of
Texas made q spirited speech in favor of giving
to Hendricks the Office out of which he had
been cheated. Weed OF New York sug
gested that the roll of states should be called SO
as to put on record the unanimous vote for
Hendricks. Wallace accepted the suggestion.
withdrew his motion to nominate by acclama.
ton, and moved that the nominations do now
close. The motion was agreed to and the clerk
proceeded to call the roll of states.
Tn result was the unanimous nomination of
Thomas A. Hendricks as the candidate for vice
president.
Finally the chairman got a chance to make
the formal announcement of the vote. He
said there had been SIG votes cast, all of them
for ThomasA. Hendricks, and that Mr.. HepdI
ricks was therefore the candidate of the ma
tional Democratic convention for vice presi-
dent of the United States. The convention
then adjourned

The programme had been kept in this-that
Cleveland did not get a majority on the first
ballot. The result was received with a good
deal of uproar, but with nothing like the en-
thusiasm thathad been expected. The conven-
ton then adjourned till Friday.
On the call of states the following were an
bounced as members of the national committee:
Alabama, Henry G. Semple; Arkansas, S. W.

CineaonatI Election Risss.

The election troubles in Cincinnati,
by which several people have been Ia
tally wounded, and a number more or
less wounded, are as usual blaraed
upon the Republicans, or upon the
United States Deputy Marshals the Re-
publicans had appointed. The Demo
Gratis had all the election machinery the
State could possibly afford in their own
hands, and it was well Known that for
two or three weeks before the election,
repeaters from the large cities, outside
CT Cincinnati, were fiocking into the
State by the Democrats, and their fare
paid out ofthe Democratic campaign

To counteract this food of fraud in
the sterests of the spotlessly pure

Desuty-Sheritf, that they could call
upon to protect them personally, nor

Valuable Eurniture woods.
lScientiflc Americana

A generation or moro ago the most
admired wood for furniture purposes
was mahogany. Until quite recently
the taste for mahogony has been held in
allegiance, and black walnut has long
reigned the king Of the furniture woods.
Before mahogany controlled the popular
desire, cherry was a favorite, and our
white walnut, or hickory, was used to a
considerable extent. These old-fash-
Toned woods are coming into favor
again, and very fine effects are pro-
duced by the contrasts of cherry and
hickory, and by mahogany and hickory.
Mahogany and cherry blend admirably
as shades of color instead of contrasts.
The so called branch" mahogany,
that in veneers on the fronts of bureaus
and in the frames of mirrors formerly
produced such impossible effects of
grain, has given place to that of plain,
straight grain, the effect of color rather
than of grain Deing desired.
Except yellow and black birch and
the satin and birdseye maple, there are
few of our native woods that show a
very distinctive grain. This makes
them valuable as foils to the more er-
ratio grained woods of the tropics. One
of these, the coco bolo, of a deep red
color, with broad striated grain, works
up beautifully with the cherry, making
complement of tints, or with the
hickory, showing a contrast of color
and of grain.
According to the statement of prom
inent dealer in furniture woods, our
cherry and hickory are coming rapidly
into demand, and for foreign woods the
mahogany and the comparatively little
known COCO bolo are much called for by
makers of fine furniture, carvers, and
internal fnishers.

LIncOIn,s FavorIte poem.
Chicago Tribune.l

Mrs L. E. Hills, of Elgin, ILL.,, has a
copy Of the well-known poem, 90 Why
Should the Spirit of Mortal be Proud4'
in the handwriting of Abraham Lincoln.
She was once a member of concert
company, which CHANGED TO put up at
the same hotel with Mr.. Lincoln in q
western town, when he was candidate
for the presidency. In the evening the
singers entertained the company in the
parlor for a time, and then called
upon Mr.. Lincoln, "My friends" said
he, ~ couldn't sing a tune, not even
'Old Hundred, if it were to save
my life, but l can recite poem for
YOU" Then, stepping to the other side
of the parIor that he might face them
all, he said: 81 will recite to you what
l consider one of the finest productions
of the English language" and then in
an impressive manner recited the poem.
AS Mr.. Lincoln was leaving the room
after his recitation, Mrs. Hills asked
him who the author of the poem was and
where it could be found. Lincoln re-
piled that he did not know. But" he
added, ''if you wish it l will write you
out copy of it." The next morning
while Mrs Hills was eating her
breakfast Lincoln handed her the copy
as he had prom Used. 1t was written or
the old-fashioned blue legal cap.
