State Board Of Canvassers.

The Nashville Banner says: "Sec.
rotary of State Allison is in favor OF
the passage of an act by the Legisla-
ture that will change the status of the
board Of canvassers as it now exists.
He thinks the Governor and Secre-
tary of State and three other mem

constitute the board. The present
law, he said, was too meagre, and the
duties of the board were not fully ex-

Home Entertainment.

One of those pleasant little home
entertainments, where everyone feels
at home and consequently thor
oughly enjoy themselves, took place
In the basement of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church last night and
was largely attended. The audience
as they came in were met at the door
by Pastor Brigham, and after a
hearty hand-shake were shown seats.
This church has filled up rapidly
with young people in the past few
years, and it was found necessary to
provide some place for the young
folks to meet in and where sociaIs
and similar entertainments could be
held. So with that view in mind.
the entertainment of last night was
given, and the old basement will be
fixed up in a neat and cheerful man
ner. The program rendered last eve
ming was varied, comprising vocal
and instrumental music, tableaux.
and Rotations. We wish
that space would permit Of our giving |
the program complete. Suffice it to |
say that taking it as whole, it
would rank favorably with any SINH
ar entertainment yet given, and pro-
Vided healthy amusement for the
young people and proper place for
hem to spend the evening.

REHABILITATION.

CHICAGO, June 16-A more complex SIT
uation was never seen two days before the
meeting of a presidential convention
Such developments as have occurred today
only tend TO pile mystery upon mystery.
The air is filed with rumors. with hints
of com binations, with charges of treach-
cry and suspicion of insincerity, and out
of it all develops nothing tangible. AS
accurate a description of the situation as
could be made at this hour is that about
five hundred delegates are tolerably Ger
tain how they will vote. if they do change
their minds before the balloting begins,
The remainder are all at sea.
Everybody is afraid to strike out in any
direction, preferring to wait and see what
other people do. There is much comforting
among leaders, much running after and
arguing with individual delegates, but
very few declarations in favor of the vari-
Gus candidates. Decidedly the feature of
today has been the arrival of the Pacific
coast delegation shouting for Blaine. Their
enthusiasm and reception are described in
other disprtches. The California people
declare Blaine their first and only choice.
They say they are not talking of other
candidates. and that Blaine viii
surely be nominated. If the
Pacific coast Democrats had not
gone to St. Louis with their red bandanas.
and by their enthusiasm and constancy of
their advocacy Of Thurman's nomination
succeeded not in only carrying their point,
but in attracting to themselves the atteu-
ton of the entire country and securing the
honor of the temporary craftsmanship of
the convention for one Of their delegates,
this Blaine movement would probably not
have come out of California But the
coast Republicans pricked up their ears at
the record made by their Democratic
neighbors and the thought came
to them TO achieve greater
success. Whereas the Democrats had
named the viee-presideat, the Republicans
determined 20 nominate the president
ALWAYS Blaine men and his most enthusi-
astic admirers, they naturally turned 20
Blaine as their piece de resistance Their
hope was 10 form the nucleus OF courage
and enthusiasm about which all the Blaine
men IN the country would gather and
form an irresistible movement. All day
the thousands of onlookers here have been
endesvorIng to ascertain what the effect
has been of the projection OF an additional
Blaine boom into the contest Tonight
the general verdict is that the effort. bold
and picturesque as i. was. has not great |

would call it up for action at the earliest
possible moment. 1t appropriates S23,-
sl4.79S.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the army appropriation bill
Mr.. Tracy, of New York. offered an
amendment appropriating Sl26, 600 for the
enlargement of the plant at Natervliet
arsenal, New York, and 100000 for the
manufacture of cannon and carriages,
proJectlles for torpedo experiment and eX-
penses of ordnance officers. Messrs.
Tracy and Sinola, of New York
set out the public demand
adequate coast defences and argued that
the Notifications appropriation bill might
again fail OF passage, leaving the great
cities on the coast exposed for another year
TO attack.
Mr.. Randall, of Pennsylvania, made a
point OF order against the amendment
He said that science had so advanced that
had tie last fertilization bill become
a law the money would have been
absolutely wasted. For twenty
years he had waited fer the
ordnance department to MAKE a gun that
they dare fire. We should invite private
nanuIacuurerS TO cooperate III the supply
Of necessary guns.
The chairman, Mr.. Springer, sustained
the point of order and the amendment was
ruled out.
On motion of Mr. Laird, of Nebraska, a
provision was added to the paragraph re-
lsting to post supplies requiring them to
lie purchased where they can be purchased
