CONVENTION GOSSIP

The Democratic national convention at
st. Louis has adjourned without day but
the work which the party Of the country
placed before the delegates has been faith
fully and diligently performed. The re-
suit will be unanimously ratified by every
individual member of the party in every
quarter Of the country.
As to the head of the ticket the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Cleveland has been a fore
gone conclusion. Triumphantivictory was
once won under his banner and the dose
can be repeated. Under the pressure ola
tremendous strain which would have
broken down an ordinary man he has
faithfully performed his arduous duties.
The essence OF his administration is CON
tanned in the single sentence uttered by
him during the last campaign, Tell the
truth" He has faced every issue boldly
and manfully. In situations where dex-
trous politicians would have dilly dallyed
or hedged he has gone to the pith of his
subject, and carried with him the skep-
teal by his direct and forcible reasoning.
His administration throughout has been
conservative, and has won the confidence
of the business men of the country. His
reelection is assured beyond the perad-
venture of a doubt.
Every town in the country will over
and over again be painted red with ban
danas between this and next November.
The name of Allen G. Thurman is
synonymous with honesty and sterling
integrity. His private character is unim-
peachable and his public career is one
grand record of the struggle OF right
against might. For many long years CON
spicuous in the councils of the nation, as
chief %iustise of his own state or as a con.
stitutional lawyer OF national repute, in
e3ery situation in which he has been
placed, he has always commanded the ad.
miration and respect of his couutrymen.
There is no man in the country whom the
people will take more pleasure l n h,nor-
ing and zone who are more worthy Of
honor.
Samuel j.. ~krilden's slogan. ''retreuch-
ment and reform" is the essence of the
platform. The party pledges itself to do
all in its power to lessen the unnecessarily
heavy burthens Of taxation on the people,
through which $4,000 0 900 has been
uselessly heaped up in the treasury. 1t
favors modification of tariff duties to nit
igate the evil. The platform is one on
which all Democrats and a good many
Republicans can stand with n great degree
of comfort.

ACCORDING to the recently published
statistics of the Stock Yards Company, of
Chicago, and of the Board of Trade, the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad
maintains its lead of all other lines in the

Gates the rapidity with which the road
must have recovered from its recent labor
troubles, ard furnishes additional evidence
of the efficient manner in which the man
agement handled the strikes of employees
on its lines. Evidently, from business
stand point. the road is in able hands.

and Admit Both Factions
Voted Down.
The Result Said to Mean the Appoint

Church Wins.


ST. LOUIS, June Sit took nearly four
hours this evening for the committee on
credentials to settle the faction fight in
Dakota between the followers of Governor
Church and those Of the Dakota member
of the national committee. NJ. H. Day.
Church won. Col. w. s. Steel presented
the case for Church in manner that
seemed to take with the committee. A.
w. Bangs and T. j. Walsh were the spokes-
men for Day. A motion to divide the dele
cation between the contestants was voted
down. Mr.. Day appealed for time to talk
in behalf of himself. He was given five
minutes. Then the committee went into
executive session and voted by large
majority to sustain the Church delegation.
This action, it is said, means the disposal
of Mr.. Day as the Dakota member of the
national committee and the appointment
of Church. After the Church faction was
recognized by the committee on creden-
tials tonight it announced its committee
men.
