OHIO WON'T BE A UNIT.

One Delegate Who Will Not Vote for
Thurman Under ANY circumstance.
ST. LOUIS, June Notwithstanding the
fact that the Ohio delegation received the
Indiana men last night with open arms, but
with the cold consolation that Judge Thur
man must and would receive the forty six
votes of the Buckeye state as a unit, it
was anybody's fight this morning. The
delegation went into prolonged
session during the afternoon and
passed resolution after resolution
of Endorsement. Still there were
members who would not fall into line
Robert Blee held back a long time, and it
required the adoption of the unit rule to
lend him from his opposition. No sooner
had this rule been adopted than John Brady
was ON his feet. He said: Gentlemen YOU
may adopt any rule you like, bat l came
from Cincinnati in opposition to Judge
Thurman. You may throw me out OF this
caucus or intimate that my presence is not
desired, and l will stay out but neverthe-
less | will go to the conven ion and take my
seat as delegate, and when the State is
called l will vote against Thurman
This determination caused confusion, and
there were dire threats but to no purpose.
Finally resolution was adopted releasing
Mr. Brady from the unit rule, and he
will act Independently In convention he
was more cautious but still opposition
showed itself in his remarks. 81 will domy
fighting in the convention, but when | can
not win there, will 60 home as Ihave done
many times before, and during the cam
paign will work and fight just as hard for
the democracy as ever before Mr. Brady
is one of the staunchest adherentS of the
Payne Mclean faction.

They had arranged TO reaffirm the tariff
clause of 1884, and to add moderate
Endorsement of the Presidents tariff
message, with long paragraph explanatory
of the Democratic party's position on the
tariff. MIR. Scott had also consented to let
Mr.. German have the honor of the chair
menship of the platform committee. Con-
gresham Scott yielded to this compromise
in behalf of harmony, and through desire
to bring all the disaffected elements of the
party into full sympathy with the admin
istration, but to-day the truce was declared
off
FEARS OF TRICKERY.
Messrs. German. Barnum and their
high tariff sympathisers were more active
in visiting the Influential men of various
delegations than was reliShed by Mr.. Scott.
There were signs that the high tariff men
were preparing to steal a march ON the
other wings of the party. Mr..
Scott was incensed at the selection
of ex-Mayor Cooper, a strong pro
tectionist, as the New York representative
on the committee. From the other side
Mir. Scott was subjected to great pressure
Messrs. Morrison and Watterson calling on
hun and insisting that no compromise, how
ever small the concession involved, should
be made, and the agreement between Messrs
Scott and German was finally declared Off
and Mr.. Watterson, who had been cGndi-
date for permanent chairman was put for
ward as the candidate of the tariff reform
people for chairman of the platform com
mittee. He was opposed 10y Mr.. German,
but the committee chose Mr. Watterson by
the close vote of % to 90 A change of one
vote would have given a victory to the OPP
pOuentS of the administrations policy. 1t
Is generally predicted that tomorrow the
committee win conclude its labors.

city Of Hull, opposite the city of Ottawa,
destroying between 800 and $50 houses, and
rendering over $500 people homeless. Six
or seven blocks are now a smouldering mass

fifth the amount of the loss.

most populous portion of the city, and q
raging wind served to spread the flames
with remarkable rapidity. The fire brig
AIDE was on the spot almost Immediately,
but the fire appliances were insufficient and
the water pressure was very low.
SPREAD OF THE FLAMES.
The building was soon a mass of flames,
and the wind hurled burning embers east
ward across the square into long block of
wooden houses, which took fire at once.
The fire then swept everything before it,
spreading further east, and also extending
northeast about three blocks, and literally
burnt itself out about half a mile from
where it started. The area it traversed ex
tends from City Hall square to McRae's
dock, outside the city limits.
Tonight hundreds of families are camped
in the open air without shelter of any kind.
Prompt measures for their relief have been
taken, and matt rs are liable to be in good
shape tomorrow.
The principal buildings burned, apart
from fifteen or twenty stores and shops,
were the city hall, Catholic church, stone
structure worth 100000, and three-story
stone presbytery and convent. The origin
of the fire is unknown

mtttee at considerable length urging the

committee at 8 O'Clock tomorrow morning.
Not clause of it has yet been formally
read or discussed by the subcommittee.

WOULD CLEVELAND DEoLINE2
The Republics Warning to the High
Tariff Contingent.

ST. LOUIS, June 5.-The Republic has a
double-leaded editorial this morning on the
subject of the tariff. 1t says: THE real
motive of the efforts TO prevent the incor-
poration of definite and clearly expressed
tariff reform plank in the Democratic plat
form ls hostility to President Cleveland
OF course there is a genuine desire
on the part of the half breed
democrats who train with the
republicans TO prevent any tampering with
impost duties which afford protection to
pools, trusts, infant industries" and other
monopolies under whose exactions the great
masses of the people groan and suffer.
These haif-breeds are hostile TO President
Cleveland because of his uncompromising
position against the maintenance of a war
tariff. Whatever is done in this matter OF
the platform should be done with eyes wide
open to the consequences, and we
assert again, what we asserted yesterday,
that President Cleveland will refuse TO stand
on platform which would proclaim to the
country that his policy of tariff reform has
been repudiated by his own party"
Henry Watte-son viii not allow his name

chairman Of the convention, and has in

of the committee on permanent Organiza-
ton, to withdraw his name if presented be-

THURMANs TRIUMPH.
But Very Little Doubt of His Nomina-
ton for Second Place.

But Very Little Doubt of His Nonina-
ton for Second Place.
ST. LOUIS, June 5-Nobody is able to
perceive contingency likely to throw the
convention into a struggle over the vice
presidency. Coz. Gray's friends have all
along had two grounds Of hope that they
might eventually win. One of these was
the attitude of the Ohio delegation, and it
is a singular fact that the movement to
bring ''the old Roman" from his retirement
came near being strangled in his own
state. 1t is claimed that a majority of the
Ohio delegation are really against
Judge Thurman to this day, and
are only accepting him because
the country is fairly forcing him upon
them. Ohio was brought over to the Thur
man standard Monday night and to-day
the delegation, having perceived that his
nomination was inevitable, passed Thur
man resolution, much stronger and more
satisfactory than the one of Monday night.
HOPES OF THE GRAY MEN.
The Gray men also had some hopes that
by making a courageous stand they could
hold in line the friends of all the other can
didates, thus preventing Judge Thurman's
getting two-thirds on the first ballot, but
the unit rule has been adopted by the Thur
man majority in six or eight of the states,
notably Michigan, New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Tennessee, thus forcing the
minority to help swell the votes for the
favorite and practically destroying the last
hope of the supporters Of Gov. Gray There
have been rumors of combinations to bring
Speaker Carlisle or Postmaster General
Dickinson into the contest, but the friends
OF both deny that any effort is being made
in their behalf.
Senator Voorhees, says the question
whether Gov. Gray's name shall be- placed
in nomination is to be decided tomorrow

ST. LOUIS, June 5.-A gorgeous parade of
fully 10000 uniformed democrats in pro-
cesson was witnessed tonight by people in
such numbers that they could be estimated
only by hundreds of thousands The pro
cession started at ali early hour and was
still moving at 10;40 O'clock Before the

leading to the convention hall, was jammed
for over a mile, pavement, sidewalk, gut
tiers and stairways, with such solid mass of
human beings as perhaps never before
gathered in any American city AT short
intervals over the entire distance great
arches of flame lit up the scene and marked
| the long vista 1t was spectacle of sur
passing brilliancy. The street was
| only cleared sufficiently for the procession
| by pounding passage through the mob
with trains of cable cars Wild enthusiasm
was evoked everywhere by the display of
Thurman bandanas among the marchers.
First in the line came the grand marshal
Col. John |. Martin, and staff, followed by
the first battalion of the Missouri National
Guard and the Marmaduke Guards of
