this city this morning While
waiting here Hon. John Kelly and others
were called out, and spoke briefly. The
former said Tammany was going to Chicago

man among them. He would say to the
Democrats of Toledo that Gov. Cleveland could
not carry New York under any circumsancest
if nominated. There were three men in
Ohio with whom he was personally acquaint-
ed and politically affiliated, either of whom
would be acceptable to the New York Dem
ocracy A man from Ohio with the right
kind of a New Yorker for second place,
will carry New York The New Yorker must
be a man who will be strong in controlling

feet of Kelly for block, apparently taking
him all in at one fell swoop and

THE CALIFoRNIANs.

A well attended meeting of California
Democrats present in the city was held this
afternoon, with J. D. Carr, chairman. Among
the prominent Californians paesent were John
P. Irish, State Senators Kelly and Dough-
erty, Lieutenant Governor Johnson, Judge
Wright, R. D. Faulk, and others. Resolu-
tons were unanimously adopted, setting
forth that the recent affront offered to Judge
Field by the California state convention was
not the expression of the Democratic
party, nor of the people of
California, but was a factional out
burst in the convention, legally composed
of delegations appointed by county commit
tees in denial to the people of their right of
primary elections. The preamble declares this
action of the California state convention
without precedent and has seriously jeopar-
died the electoral votes which the united
party would be proud to present to victorious
national Democracy. Judge Field was
heartily endorsed. The resolutions point to
his spotless record as an indignant
denial of the attempted affront
They recite Fields services upon
the electoral commission of 1876, his valu-
able services to the country at large as an
upright, broad, liberal judge, and recognizes
his multitudinous benificent services as Judge
and citizen to California. The name of
Judge Field is presented for the respectful
consideration of the convention. The reso-
lutions particularly ask the favor and friend
ship of the representatives of the organized
labor of the country.

HEwITT's TARIFF PLANK.

The Daily Ne~s will say: "a. s. Hewitt
arrived this afternoon, armed with tariff
plank for the national platform. Although
he arrived at a late day, he created as much
of stir as did Henry Watterson when he es
tablished his headquarters at the Palmer
house. Hewitt's resolution was of concil-
iatory nature, and seemed to meet the ap-
proval of several western tariff reformers,
but was not sufficiently posi-
tive in its declarations against
protection to suit the reformers of most pro-
nounced types. During the day conference
was held between Hewitt, Manton Marble,
Smith, Weed and others, at which it was de-
cided by the opponents of the Watterson
school to reject the Hewitt resolution in part
and to unite upon plank similar to that
adopted in Ohio. This will not suit the ex-
tremists in favor of free trade, and the tariff
fight will will probably occur over that plank

MEMORIAL.

The Sad Death Of Charles w. Mooney.
Friday, the 2Sd of May, the news was
flashed over the wires to our city, informing
us of the accidental drowning of Chas. W.
Mooney, late train dispatcher Of the N. Y. P.
& o. road at Gallon, by the capsizing Of a
small boat on the st. Clair river near Ft.
Gratiot, Mich. The news spread like wild
fire, causing sadness to come over the faces
and deep sorrow to fill the hearts Of his many
friends and acquaintances. Anxious in
quiries were made seeking for information in
regard to the sad affair. During the Sab
bath, 1t was frequently referred to In the
prayers and sermons by many Of the minis
ters Of our churches.
The particulars of the accident as given
the writer by Mr.. A. j. Sage, IA near neighbor
of Charley's father, who spent thirteen days
searching for the body, are as follows:
Charley had worked all night. After break
fast, VIM. Wallbridge, one of the operators
with whom he was boarding, proposed to
cross the river to Sarnia Bay to fish; the
proposition was accepted; they then went to
see the baggage-master, John Ford, to pro-
cure his boat, who agreed to go with them If
he could get through with his work in time.
They went down to the dock, where the
boat was tied. Charley remarked he would
haye no use for his cuffs, 30 went back to the
Office, left them and returned to the dock,
where they were soon joined by Mr.. Ford,
the owner of the boat, and Thomas MeKeon,
who wished to 90 with them. The question
was asked il the boat would carry all of them
safely; the answer was that she had carried
larger loads before and would be all right.
They all got In and started to cross the river;
the current being very swift would carry
them down stream quite q distance, but
when they reached the eddy on the other side
would have no difficulty in rowing up to the
place where they wished to land; but the
current being stronger then they calculated
upon, and steam barge coming up with
four or five vessels in tow, passing between
them and the American shore, this with q
strong wind, caused a very rough sea, which
made the boat ship some water. McKeon
became badly frightened and wanted TO gel
out; they begged him to keep his seat and
they would be all right, but he stepped on
the side, jumped into the water, instantly
capsizing the boat He fought desperately
for life, caught hold Of the boat which rolled
oyer and over, then catching Mr.. Wallbright
by the throat, (where his finger marks are
yet to be seSn,) who forced him to let go hif
hold, to save his life, the poor man sank to
rise no more
Mr.. Ford being an excellent swimmer,
started for the American shore about one
fourth Of mile distant. He passed between
the steamer and the first boat in the TOW, and
when within about sixty feet Of the shore,
which was lined with several hundred people,

Ohio, where they lived 2 years. They
subsequently moved to White Oak Mich
where they.resided almost 10 years or unit

most respected citizens. Mrs. Sprague
was the mother of five children, two boys
and three girls. One OF the girls died ir
infancy, while the other four children and
their sorrowing father are left to mourn
the mothers loss. The cause Of her death
was Injuries to the spine, received by
being thrown from wagon by fright
ened team, on the 10Th of June, 1884. AL
that medical skill could do to save her
was of no avail and after less than two
weeks painful suffering death came to he
