upon the subject OF the tariff, holding
that the grant to Congress by the con-

and forbid the opposing policy Of the Re-
publican party Of fostering one branch Of
industry 10 the detriment Of another, and
the promotion Of the interests OF some
portions to the injury Of other portions
Of our common country. And we
demand material reduction Of
the present excessive tariff duties and
such revision OF the laws in passing them
as will equilizs the burdens and benefits
derived from their levy and collection,
and that no more revenue be collected
than Is necessary for wise, economical

THE THIRD DAY.

CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, Ill,
July lO.-The third day OF the Demo-
cratic National Convention opened with
all nature smiling. The clouds had given
way to the warm sun, and the lake fog
had disappeared under the influence Of a
temperate breeze, The political pulse was
beating with feyerish activity.
THE PROBABILITIES
were that the nominees OF the party for
the Presidency would be chosen
before night and this of itself was
sufficient incentive to draw the thou
sands who at an early hour were clamor-
ing in vain for admission. Among the
populace, at least,
THE THURMAN BOOM,
was growing with remarkable activity,
and in front of the Senator's windows at
the Palmer was throng of several hun
dreds, cheering wildly and waving strips
of red flannel attached to walking sticks
and canes.
JOliN hEIlal AiihiN EHa
At lO:22 a. IN. John Kelly entered the
Convention and received warm well
come. The galleries were crowded, but
few delegates were present. A score Of
carpenters were making alterations on
the stage, and the din of the hammers
was appalling.
BAYARD OR THURMAN.
1t was understood that at the first OPP
portunity to-day Tammany representa-
tive would declare that either Bayard or
Thurman would be satisfactory to the
anti Cleveland Democrats of New York,
and beg the Convention to save the party
and secure victory in November by NOM
mating either of these two.
John Kelly and Cochrape were engaged
ina whispered conversation as the m
mense crowds went pouring into the
building, aud were the centre of all eyes.
CLEVELAND BREAK.
1t was said that serious break had
occurred in the Cleveland ranks. The
Iowa men had deserted him, four OF his
supporters going to Thurman and two to
Dayard.
When the Ohio delegation entered the
hall Allen g. Thurman was not among
them. His seat was occupied by an alter
nate. The "Old Roman" had determ.

1t was said that If Cleveland was not
nominated on the first ballot the county
Democracy OF New York would withdraw
his name and place Abram S. Hewitt in
nomination instead and that the Cleve-
land men would open the fight by moving
to cut of all debate and proceed to bal.

Randall was developing considerable
strength this morning.

Ben Butler insisted upon labor plank

will be used to consume time, and some
long speeches will probably be made.
The leaders of the opposition hope to
hold more than a third of the delegates
away from Cleveland for several ballots,
when he is expected to collapse. They
declare that there are $50 votes in the
Convention that can never be taken to

therefore an impossiblity, However, it

This is purely artificial instinct, created

intelligence Of the dog that 1t is unusual
TO find any individual animal in which it is
wholly absent. Thus We all know that
without any training dog will allew q
stranger to pass by his masters gate with
out molsstition; but that as soon as the
stranger passes within the gate, and so
trsspasses upon what the dog knows to be
his masters territory, the animal immsdi-
ately begins to bark in order to give his
master notice Of the invasion. And this
leads me to observe that barking is itself
an artificial instinct developed, believe,
as An offsheot from the more general in
stinct Of guarding property. None Of the
wild species Of dog are known to bark.
aud therefore we must conclude that bark
