York presented. 1t must be a whole, en-,
tire, f~aultless garment [Applausel. A
large part of the New York delegation
was bound hand and foot in this convcn,
ton, and he himself represented the
fighting labor district of Massachusetts,,
and he could tell the convention that if it
forced upon the Democratic party the man
who had rent the garment of success
in New York the party would
lose the State of Massachusetts,. His
district was populated with work
ingmen, opposed to the grasping
greed of monopolists, and he declared to
the convention, voicing the labor element
ofthe country, that if they tried to put
the torn garment CT New York on the
candidate of the Democratic party they
would Danish the labor vote and lose the
election. LChcers.l
Mr.. Leroy f. Yoeman. of South Caro-
lima, also seconded the nomination of Mr..
Bayard.
IL was manifest from the applause with
which the name of Senator Bayard was
received this morning that at last the OPP
position to Cleveland has found a strong
leader who is skillfully organizing to stem
the tide that has been sweeping New York
on toward the goal of success. Hereto
fore the opposing delegates have been
STRIKING WILDLY AND H~ARMLEssLY.
The threats of Grady and Cochrane only
seemed to serve to increase the strength of
Cleveland. When Massachusetts APP
peared on the platform in the person of
Mr.. Cummings to second the nomination
of Senator Bayard it was evident that
Benjamin I. Butler was the leader of the
organization against the opposition, and
that he expects the South to present 4
solid front in Bayard's support under the
influence of Senators Hampton, Vance,
Lamar and others of the states Of that
section. The delay in perfectiug a plat
form is felt to be a part of the scheme, as
it gives time for organization.
NJ. NJ. Rose, of Arkansas, stated that
after much consultation and consideration
the Arkansas delegation had determined
unanimously to cast its votes for Grover
Cleveland, of New York.

Missouri Shouts For Thurman.

The unfinished business of yesterday be-
ing the call of states for nomination, was
resumed.
Mr.. Mansur, of Missouri, came to the
platform and made a nomination speech.
He said that Missouri would have given
t~hirty-two stalwart Democratic votes for
the old ticket headed by the sage
of Grammercy, and his venerated friend
from Indiana (Mr. Hendricks). As they
could not have the old ticket he had been
casting about to see who was the man
who, in the emergency, should lead the
EMBArTLED HOSTS OF THE DEMOCRACY
to a grand and glorious victory. Nothing
short of a blunder could make the Dem
ocracy lose the election with twenty-five
Democratic Governors and twenty-three
Democratic legislative representatives,
253 electoral votes out of 40l. Nothing
but a fatal blunder could make the Dem,
ocracy lose with such 4 man, who was
spoken of as'the noblest Roman of them
all-Allan G. Thurman, Of Ohio.
Cheers. He therefore seconded that
nomination. He had looked in Mr.. Thur,
mans face yesterday and recognized ii
him "thc colossal Democrat of the coun
try, the Bismarck of America" Will
Thurman as their standard bearer they
could carry Ohio, New York and Cali
fornia. In proof of this statement he re
peated a conversation he had had witt
General Spinola and other Tammany mel
and read kilograms from Ohio and Cali
fornia. In conclusion he declared befor
God that the Democracy was hungry ever
unto death, not for the venal spoils o
office, but for the glory Of doing good t
their fellowbeings. Laughter and mp
plause.
Mr.. Livingston, of Missouri, rose I
second the nomination of Grover Cleve
land but the chairman stated that
would require unanimous consent. IN
matter" said Livingston, I'VE have GO

The Session Lasts Until After
Midnight.
n THIRD DAY
Proceedings of the Democratic
Convention.

The convention was called to order at
ll:10 O'Clock.
The proceedings were opened with
prayer by Rev. George E. Lorimer, of the
Emanuel Baptist Church, ofChicago. He
rendered thanks for a country where
liberty found a refuge, labor an opportup-
ity, domestic virtue a shield, and human
ity a temple. He prayed that the nation
may be awakened TO realize that not in
material property nor in wealth lay great
ness and salvation, but in those virtues
and principles announced in the word CT
God and echoed down through the cen
turies, In this century liberty may not
degenerate into license, nor authority into
tyranny, nor capital into oppression, nor
labor into robustness, nor conviction into
BIGoTRY AND SUPERSTITION.
He asked for a blessing on the conven-
ton, that the high sentiments and en-
n%obling principles that fell from the
lips of speakers yesterday may become
the governing principles o the great party,
and that its affairs to-day may be so
ordered that the nominee of the conven-
ton will be Il man of lofty character, of
resplendent reputation whose attitude
shall be an inspiration to the growing
manhood of the people, and that if such
nominee be elected he may be a blessing
to the nation and not a scourge.

John Kelly's View.

In an interview with Chicago Times
reporter Immediately after the adjourn.
ment of the caucus of the New York
delegation Monday afternoon, John
Kelly said: If the delegation does not
reconsider its action and still insists
upon presenting Cleveland's name, Tam.
many will appeal to the convention. We
shall state cur case clearly and plainly,
and attempt to have the unit rule
broken. If the convention refuses to dc
it. the responsibility rests with it. We
will have done our duty.
Whom else can New York present
asked the reporter.
Slocum, replied Kelly.
Would he make strong candidate?
don't know. He is popular in the state
and has made strong runs, but whether
be would do for president can't say.
The fact is we want candidate who has
been enough identified with the national
government, and who has had experience
enough to be called statesman. Cleve
land made good mayor and good
sheriff, but as governor he has been q
failure. Slocum has made good con
gresham, but how he would do as pres.
ident is problem. We want man OF
wide experience and broad views.
Are there any here who would ill
these requirements?
Yes, two, Bayard and Mcdonald.

Scared by Indians.

Huron Times: An Indian scare broke
the monotony of st. Lawrence Wednes.
day morning. Eighty wagons of In.
dians containing about $40 souls, came
within sight of the village and as some
of them were armed the rumor that st.
Lawrence was to be numerically
scalped, soon spread all over the village.
A noted divine of the place rushed to
the telegraph Office and sent dispatch
to Gen. Terry for troops; that the town
was at the mercy of hundreds of savages
and that q massacre was imminent. The
general replied in hundred word
special, calming the fears of the people
by saying that it would be no use to
send the soldiers, as the Indians were
already on the ground the whole town
could be butchered before the troops
could be started. He gave it as his
opinion that the braves were Just pass.
ing through the town; but if they show.
ed any hostile designs to let him know
at once.
The theories of the general were cor.
rect. The Indians came to participate
in the Miller Fourth of July exercises
and had no designs on the scalps of the
st. Lawrenceites.

The Sioux reservation bill remains
only half law with the closing of con-
gress. 1t has passed the senate and was
reported favorab!y by the house com.
mittee. A Washington correspondent
gives tie reason for its temporary fail.
ure:
Delegate Raymond, of Dakota, has
tried to secure the consideration Of the
Sioux reservation bill by the house, but
the Mexican pension bill has blocked all
legislation, aud for the last five days
nothing has been acted upon but the ap-
preparation bills. Whenever one of
them would be disposed of ths Mexican
bill, with the senate amendments, would
he called up at the regular order, and
the democrats would resort to filibuster-
ing tactics TO prevent Its passage. A
single objection was sufficient to prevent
the consideration of any other measures,
and there was always somebody ready to
make it. Yesterday Mr.. Brown, of Mis-.
souri,, tried to convince the house of the
folly of such proceedings while there
were important measures awaiting i'm.
portant consideration, but the house
would not listen to him.

obvious reasons it would prefer to have
the Press and Dakotaian dislike Gov.
ernor Pierce, but as the Press and Dako.
taian has frequently expressed itself in
the opposite direction, the Tribune con.
structs charge from its reserve force Of
misrepresentation, prints it and has
doubtless sent the governor marked
copy of the paper containing it. These
methods, however, will not work.
They were good enough for the
Ordway day. but under the new dis.
pensation are powerless to effect an
object. We know great many things
about Governor Pierce-more probably,
than has invaded the understanding of
the Tribune-and We are fully prepared
to repeat what we have previously stated
in effect, that the Press and Dakotaian
does take kindly to the appointment of
Governor Pierce. And it has good rea.
sons for this expression, chief among
which ls the fact that he is an honest
man and will not prostitute his position
to personal gain.

Ben Butler as the party candidate for
the president the Irish vote will go to
Blame. This declaration is distress,

practically alienates from it its reliable

means the disruption of the solid south
Not to nominate him means the loss Of

It is stated by Washington cores
pondent that great injustice has been
done Mr.. Frank Sperry, who was nomi.
mated for judgesh1p in Dakota. He
did not apply for that Office, but asked
to be appointed judge in Alaska. That
place having been promised to another
person, Mr.. Sperry was nominated for
associate justice of Dakota, but feeling
that his experience in law was not such
as to qualify him, he promptly declined.
The declination following so quickly
upon the heels of the appointment, and
before any of the published press opin.
ions could reach him, should count
strongly iu Mr.. Sperry's favor. 1t is the
highest credit to man that he recog-
nizes his own lack Of ability to perform
the duties of an important position, and
for that reason declines to undertake
them.

The Huron correspondent of the Chi
cago Inter. Ocean telegraphs the follow
ing interesting version of the situation: {:
Governor Pierce is not restricted to
the choice of either Yankton or Bis.
marck as his official residence, as most
people seem to imagine. Under the
capital commission act Dakota is with
out permanent capital until-quotinR
the language of the act itself-"the
capitol building is erected and complete" !"
when-to quote fdfther-"it shall be the
duty OF the commissioners to report such
facts to the governor, who shall there
upon issue proclamation, declaring said
building ready for occupancy" Then and
not until then. under that act, can Bis.
marck be the permanent seat of govern.
ment. Section l6 of the act designates
Yankton as the temporary capital at the
time OF its passage, giving the governor
the right to relocate the temporary cap.
ital at his pleasure, SO that Governor
Pierce, under the capital commission act,
can place the temporary capital at any
point he pleases within the limit of this
great territory. 1t may be that if left
by the department of the interior to de.
eide for himself which is the capital, he
will either consider the proprlety oi
choosing some point more central than
Bismarck in the north or Yankton in the
south. Such action on his part, if wisely
considered, might do much toward set
tling disputes arising from the ill-timed
attempt of tho Legislature at capital re.
moval before the people were ready fol-
it, and without submitting the question
at the polls. While this course would
virtually recognize the validity of the
capital commission act, it would still
keep the capital in south Dakota.
The above is based upon what promi.
nent citizen of southeastern Dakota said
in q private conversation. Those who
believe Yankton to be still the perma
nent capital, as the case stands in court
hope that Governor Pierce will share
their views.

A Des Moines telegram states that
Seward Smith. the appointee for associate
justice of Dakota, is native of Massa-
chusets, we'll educated, and has been in
the law practice in Des Moines for
twenty years. He is ffty.three years
old. He was for several years law
partner OF General Solicitor Withrow of
the Rock Island road, and is Justly re.
garded as thorough lawyer, perhaps
rather too amiable to shine brightly be.
fore jury, but hard to excel IN drawing
pleadings. The only Office he has held
was city solicitor at Des Moines few
years ago. He had been assured by MIR.
Kasson that he should be made assocl.
ate justice of Montana, and when that
place was otherwise filled he gave up
all thought of securing a federal posi-
tion. There is no question of his great
personal worth or of his legal ability.
