THE TRUE AND THE FALSE.

Mr. Blakely Hall, the well known cor

Gently made very strong point in favor
of Mr.. Parnell in the celebrated Parnell-
Times libel case. BY it Mr.. Hall claims
he has clearly proved that the letters pub

been written by Mr.. Parnell regarding
the Phoenix Park tragedy are forgcries.
The two fac-similes herewith reproduced

form.
ST. LOUIS, June 4.-The executive
committee appointed by the Peoria
waterway convention of October, 1887,
of which Judge Prendergast, of
Chicago, is chairman, met to-
night and prepared request
to be presented to the COM
mittee on platform of the national
Democratic convention tomorrow for
an opportunity to lay before the COM
mittee the resolutions of the Peoria con-
ventiOn. The request sets forth
that the he convention consisted of
over 600 delegates from various
plated is to connect the great lakes with
the Mississippi river and so with the
Gulf of Mexico, so as to provide COM
modiouS waterway for commerce and
for defense of the northern frontier in
time of war. The plank prepared for
Endorsement by the Democratic party
tomorrow is broader even than
this, to meet the views of
New York and the East. and recon-
mendS. also, connecting the lakes, for
similar purposes, with the Hudson river
and Atlantic. The request shows the
progress already made in congress and
the approval of the Memphis national
waterways convention and of the farm
ers' national congress, held in No Ca
Der in Chicago. Similar action will be
taken at the Republican national con-
Vention in Chicago.

Friends of Gray and Black Are
Working Like Beavers, But
With Little Hope of Success.
ST. LOUIS, June 4.-The Gray and
Black men do not take kindly to the
Thurman boom. But all opposition
seems to be in fair way to be over
whelmed. Illinois is divided and can
exert but little pressure for the soldier
candidate. However, they claim a
strong following from Colorado, Mime
sofa, Dakota. Michigan and Ohio, some
from Maryland and many from the
South. Their cry is that the
ticket must have soldier on
it to win the soldier vote.
The advocates OF Gov. Gray are making

for the 'Old Roman" but at the pres

of politics."

arrived Sunday, the great mass came
this morning, accompanying the Hawk

drew up in the union depot over 400
men disembarked. The delegates came

favor OF Thurman, but a strong Gray
feeling soon manifested itself, and the
indications were that a dispute would

tary''-that is the title to which Mr..
Blaine undoubtedly aspires under the
next administration, if the nominee of
the Chicago convention is elected. This
is the belief of those leaders of the Re-
publican party whose opinion is of the
most value, and it is because Blaine as

that none of the candidates in the field
can claim to be his heir or can look with
confidence to the support of the so-called
Blaine forces. Mr.. Blaine announces
his purpose for the campaign to be to
work for the election of the Republican
nominee, and it is the Blaine doctrine
that the political laborer is worthy of
his hire. Blaine will not announce
himself for any candidate, and he will
not endeavor to turn any of his army,
which has become a mob, over to anv
one of the other aspirants for the presf.
dency. He intends to maintain neutral
ground in the race to excite no enmities
on the part of the candidates, some one
OF whom may be successful, and he will
return to be the central figure of the
canvass, and, if his party shall be sue,

NOT A LOVE FEAST.
Kentucky Delegates Much Di-
yided in Sentiment.

ST. LOUIS, June 4.-The Kentucky
caucus proved to be anything but love
feast, and resulted in several surprises,
When the meeting was called to order
it was evident that the delegates were
much divided in sentiments-the Thur
man and Gray forces being evenly bal
anced and both ardent for their own can
didates. The officers of the delegation
were elected without much trouble,
James A. Mckenzie being elected chair
man; John ID. Harris vice president for
Kentucky; Henry Watterson, who it
had been expected would be the chair
man, member of the committee on
resolutions; John B. CastletOn, member
of the committee on organization, and
Robert Riddle, member of the commit
tee on credentials. When the vote for
the national committeeman was taken
it was found that III. D. McHenry, who
had held the office for twelve years, and
who enjoyed almost a prescriptive title
to it, had most dangerous opponent in
P. j. Force, most enthusiastic Thur
man man. Three ballots were neces-
sary to decide the contest, McHenry
finally securing the prize by a vote of
10 to 8. The delegates were unable to
agree upon candidate for the vice
presidency, both the Thurman and
Gray men standing firm, and it was
finally determined to leave the question
undecided for the time being. The
Gray men claim slight majority, but
the Thurman men declare that they
will finally carry the day.

Their HonOrs and a Successor to

ST. LOUIS, June An the Massa-
chusetts caucus, Hon. Frederick o.
Prince, member of the national Demo-
cratic committee, was nominated to sue
coed himself and unanimously elected,
but the chairman then presented the
following letter from Mr.. Prince:
~ ST. LOUIS, June ito the Massa-
chuSettS Delegation to the National
Democratic Convention: AS several of
the delegates have asked me if l desire
reelection to the national Democratic
committee, write to say that should
any of my friends propose me for the
office, or take any action in the
matter, am not candidate
for the Or. AT or continuous
service of twenty eight years en-
the committee, it is time for me to re-
tire. Furthermore, there are reasons
unnecessary to state here which will
not allow me to serve longer if elected.
This declination is made without re-
serve and there is 10 Blaine ambiguity to
be found between the lines of this note.
Let me improve the occasion to express
my cordial thanks for the confidence re-
posed in me by the Democracy of mass
in selecting me for so many years as

against his cuirass. At present the I'M
horSed enemy is still grooming.
Ihere is good deal of speculation as
to what particular position Mr.. Scott
Will occupy in the coming campaign:
whether he will go to the head of the
national committee or relieve himself of
the exacting duties of the position and
act in an advisory capacity. This much
is certain, Mr.. Scott will have a promi-
nent hand In the management of the
campaign, no matter what special as
Segment he may accept in the organi-
cation. He is closer to President Cleve-
land in political affairs than any other
man in public life. The president
wants Mr.. Scott to manage the issue.
The $4,000 which Mr.. Scott raised in
1884 at the critical moment when Cor
man announced that they would have to
close up headquarters without it. is not
forgotten. Such emergencies, while not
SO likely to happen this year, may arise
again. There is one point beyond
dispute, and that is with Scott at the
head of the Democratic organization,
the Republican managers will not have
time to eat or sleep from the middle of
June until the sun gees down on the
hrst Tuesday of next November.
MI. Scott is no amateur in politics.
when boy he was page in the house
OF representatives, and became familiar
with public men. He was delegate to
the Democratic national convention
held in New York city in 1868. He was
one OF the delegates at large from Penn
Sylvanla at the Cincinnati convention
OF 1880, and has served eight years on
the Democratic national committee. His
ordinary amusement is in wiping out
Republican majorities in his own con-
gressiOnal district. Politics is his di-
version. He has achieved many re-
markable successes, and the present
campaign will afford him opportunities
for new laurels.

The committee then took up the oues-
ton OF distributing tickets. For this
purpose the basis of distribution at Chi
cago in 1884 was adopted. The tickets
were brought out in boxes, with badges,
etc, and delivered to the committee.
Much surprise and some hard feeling
was expressed over what was alleged to
be the small local allotment. Without
taking up any other matters of impor-
lance, the committee adjourned until 10
a. m. tomorrow.
