Advice From John Kelley.

The Tammany Democrats cmplct-
ed last night their arrangements for
the Chicago Convention. Six hun
dred warriors will start from the
Grand Central Depot in tho special
train on Saturday, July 5that 9o'clock
A. M.
The Hon. John Kelley urged every
Tammany man to attend the Conyen-
ton. lie said that the Democracy
throughout the country were looking
to New York State for advice, know
ing that it's electoral vote was ncceS-
Sary to elect Democratic President.
The delegates from this State could
name the candidate. The Republicans
had nominated vulnerable man, and
ii bchOoves the Democrats to name q
candidate whose personal and public
record was without stain. III such
man was nominated, he would re-
coivc the support of tho independent
voter, who had hitherto acted with
tho Republican party, but were now
dissatisfied with its nominees. The
New York State delegation had an
important duty to discharge. They
should see that a man was nominated
ior President who would stand for
the best interests of the people and
especially for that important element
Of the people, the workingman. If n
candidate should be nominated
who could not carry this State, il
would be the fault of the delegates
from this State.

BLAINE AT HOME.
How He Received News of His
Nomination. His Dnugh-
ter's Entlusfnsma.

/ was with Blaine while the news
from the ballotting came, and for some
two hours before. He related incl
dents Of his life, many of them sug-
gested by the situation at that time.
He seemed to be entirely free from
any care, trouble or anxiety. He said
to me one day: al am in state OF
mind where, whatever happens, am
content. IL the nomination comes to
me it will come unsought. deter
mined from the first that i would take
no part whatever in the matter, and
have steadily refused my strongest and
best friends any cooperation or advice
in regard to the candidacy for the
Presidency" | was alone with him
until about fifteen minutes before the
dispatches came. During that time
he was perfectly calm and free FREE
anxiety or concern. As the vote d
each State would come in he would
make some comment on it, saying
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1884-07-05

that such vote was larger or smaller
than he supposed it would have been.
/ took the figures down NJ they came
in. kept tally of them and when
the entire vote was received, before |
had added tho votes, he said ~ think,
Mr.. Homan, that you will find that
Arthur will lead on this ballot" L
said; mo, you are mistaken" He
said 81 have been watching the fig
ures and | think Arthur will lead
slightly" Just at that moment | fin
ished tabulating the returnsand found
that he had 1874 votes to Arthur's 274
When | told him the result he said +;
"That is just about what some of my
friends told me it would be. But
thought it would fall off a little"
While the second ballot was coming
in he said to me: "You take down the
figures. | am going into the garden"
He went ont with the children and sat
down in the hammock kept at
work on the figures in the house a
little while, but finally they began to
come in so slow that ! gave it up and
went out, too. Then Margaret Blaine
went to tho telephone and kept
tally.
After the third ballot the question
Of adjournment came up which was to
decide whether Mr., Blaine would get
the nomination or not, for those who
were in his favor would vote against
the adjournment. When they voted
down the motion to adjourn we knew
what the result would be. Mrs
Blaine and the children, Miss Dodge
Miss Stanwood, Mrs. and Miss Manley
General Beal, of Norway; Mr.. Alden
Sprage, of the Kennebec Journal: Mrs
Homan and | were with him when the
announcement was made. We hearC
Il shout from the house where Marga
ret was at the telephone, and instantly
she rushed out Of the house and owe
| the bank to the hammock where he
father was sitting and threw her arms
around him. AS soon as she recovered
breath she made the announcement
that her father was nominated, anC
though we did not get the figure
until lato in the evening that wa
sufficient. Mr.. Blaine disengaget
himself from Margaret, arose from tn
hammock, went over to his wife ant
kissed her. People from all over tn
, town were there in few minutes. >

The Tariff as am ISSUE.

b. f. Jones, chairman of the nation
al Republican committee has return
ed home and talks freely about the
campaign. He says that no definite
plan of Operations have been agreed
upon as yet, and cannot be until after
the meeting of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. The paramount
issue, however, will be the tariff. AS
national question it win enter largo
,ly into discussion upon the stump and
in the press in all doubtful States, and
will receive special attention at the
hands of the committee. The States
he names as doubtful and expects tc
carry are: New York, New Jersey, In
diana and possibly West Virginia
The latter he counts sure unless Bay.
ard is nominated, as he would be very
strong there.
In speaking of tho Democratic can
didates he said that Cleveland has nc
certainty OF nomination, but is in the
lead. Bayard or Butler would be
harder to defeat, Thurman is the
best man mentioned for the place, but
would not make as popular a cam
paign as Cleveland. Tilden might
except yet if he were rendered unan
imous nomination. Butler, hi
thought, might carry Massachusetts,
even il he did not get Democratic en-
dorscmcnt. With the Massachusetts
electoral votes in his pocket Butte
could put other candidates in pccu
liar position.

New York, June 29.-The bolt from
Blaine is steadily growing in Brooklyn
and the leaders of the Republican or
ganization are greatly alarmed over
the split in the ranks of the Young
Republicans. A canvass of the club
shows clearly that a motion to indorse
Blaine would DO voted down by Il de-
cisivc majority. Hitherto this club
has been the main financial pillar OF
the party in Brooklyn. The present
split makes it probable that the club

but simply asks that all this career of
splendor and success shall be jeopar-
died by reversing the machine and
switching the train on toNthe old bro
ken jointed, splintered rail side track OF
Democracy. Its unreasoning de-
mand that we shall do now and close
now and endorse now and suffer by
now, all that we may once have favor
ed, under changed circumstances, or
unchanged circumstances may he
meet by the inyersed method of re-
peating the adage that "wise men
change sometimes but fools never"
But we prefer language more courtly
and argumentative,and we now tell the
Comet that we are not for Democracy
because it has shown sad incapacity
to respond to the vital necessities of a
dethrOned and impoverished Southern
people. We are opposed to it because
it has simply become the instrument
of "h0rizontal' reduction of Republi-
can principles. 1t camps each year on
camping ground from which the Re
publican party has advanced, 1t has
no policy Of its own except the policy
of resistance and side switching to let
the Republican train pass it. We are
opposed to Democracy because when
a band of brave and progressive, liber-
al Virginia Democrats, under the
brilliant Malone, asserted the right to
advocate and introduce, reformsins
Democracy, they were formally tried
convicted of high treason, kicked out
of the party, and told that such con
duct was inadmisible inside the party
We are opposed to it because oul
willingness tomeet generous and liber
al Northern people half way in the
work of national reconciliation has
brought down on us a shower of dir
which no Independent and chivalrou'
people can submit to with self re
spect.
But in order that our readers may
see for themselves that we do not mis-
represent the Comet in saying that it
treatment OF this discussion is not al
argument of tho great question at is

I,inaI Adjournment.

Both houses of Congress seem to be
working with an object in view the
adjournmentof Congress on Satur-
day next Whether that can be done
depends upon the dismlchof business.
The only obstacle in the way of adj
journment is the disagreement be-
tween the two houses on four appro-
priation bills These are the naval,
postOilice, legislative and deficiency
bills The conference committees on
these bills seem in a fair way to adj
just the differences and it is expected
they will all be out of the way in =
day or two. Members of both houses
are very anxious about adjournment
and are even clamorous for the appro-
priation committees to hurry up mat
tcrs. Some Of them charge that
there is a conspiracy between the two
committees To prolong hesession. 1t
is asserted that if the Congress does
not adjourn on the 9th it will not adj
journ before the LIST of August and
that the time intervening will be oc.
cupied in political discussion and that
no legislation will be accomplished
Mr.. Randall says that Congress car
adjourn on the 10Th if proper atten
ton is given. Mr. Carlisle says it il
not probable that adjournment WILDE

On the seventh of July, one hundred
