The Blaine influence largely prepon-
derated in the Chicago convention.
There was no time up to the Sth and
last ballot when, if his name could
have been placed before the COnVen-
vention on All equal footing with the
other candidates, that he would not
have been nominated with a whoop.
This, for reasons satisfactory to him
to. Being thwarted in this way from
nominating their idol, his followers
decided to name the ticket anyhow,
and concentrated on Harrison and
Morton, making it to that extent Il
Blaine victory.

CleYelanG'S Luck.

The career of Grover Cleveland,
since his first entrance into political
life. has been succession oftriumphs
and has excited the special wonder of
thousands, many of whom firmly be-
lieve i'll the superstition of good
luck" and that Mr.. Cleveland is to
succeed in every ambition Of his life.
Assuredly few men have had such
continuous success as has President
Cleveland, but in the minds of some
who have so strongly believed i'll his
good luck" Il thought may now in
sidiously creep, that there was danger
in dropping his "Mascot" in the recent
Convention, which renominatcd him
for the Presidency amidst whirlwind
of enthusiasm. 1t has been generally
conceded that Hon. Dan Lockwood is
Cleveland's "MaScot,' and there was
surprise expressed when ii was learn
ed that Lockwood was not to nomi-
nate him at st. Louis, but that the
honor was delegated to the silver
tongucd orator OF Philadelphia, Hon
Daniel Dougherty. The believers in
"luck' contend that Lockwood should
have been selected. He it was who
nominated Cleveland for Mayor OF
Buffalo in 1881, was called upon be
fore the mayoralty term expired to
nominate him for Governor of New
York in 1882, and before that term cX-
pircd again presented the name to the
triumphant Democracy at the National
Convention in 1884, who made Gov.
Cleveland tie President Of the United
States. 1t will he remembered that
Mr.. Dougherty nominated Gen. Han
cook ("thc superb'O who was defeat
ed, and there be some ola Supcrsttious
nature, who will doubtless see in this
change of luck for Cleveland, aud
who will deplore the dropringof" Mas
cot Lockwood as serious mistake.
But they need harbor no such appre-
tensions of evil. Luck or no luck, it
is almost an assured fact that Grover
Cleveland will succeed himself as

JACKSON, Miss, june 21.-AttOrncy
General Miller to-day sued out an in
junction before Judge Campbell of the
supreme court seeking to force the
lesseeS of the Gulf and ship Island
Railroad to discharge one Collins,
charged with the inhuman treatment
of conYictS now at work on that road
in south Mississippi. The injunction
seeks to further require the company
to comply with its contract in other
respects in which it is alleged it is be
ing violated.
So it seems Ike Pcnitcntiary LcsSees
are not only still keeping up their old
practice of brutality to convicts, but
intend to persist in it, in defiance OF
the authority of the State itself. There
is another thought just here, too, wor
thy OF consideration. Entrusted by
the State as the custodian of its crimi-
mails, this company of LcaSceS are con
tinually showing themselves to he the
most shameless and brazen- faced law
breakers. No wonder that one of
them should way-lay and murder an
editor who presumed to protest
against these wrongs and breaches of
faith, and that another should want ii
free press muzzlcd and editors who
dare expose such conduct prosecuted
for felony and sentenced to work on
the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad,
where neither the laws OF State OF hui
mainly are regarded. No wonder.
