gin with, Harper's Weekly calls Mr.. Carl
isle the ahlest man in Congress, and
every man of sense and observation in
Washington admits it. Then we en-
counter Cox, Randall and a score
Of others in both houses Of Con-
aress who dwarf anything on the Repub-
lican side. Our Republican brethren
seem to be, in lip service at least, very
much attached to George II. Pendleton,
the Democratic author Of the Civil
Service bill. Then there is Reagan, the
author Of the Interstate Commerce bill,
Mr.. Bland, the author Of the Silver bill,
Mr.. Springer, of Illinois, and half a
hundred other gentlemen who are not
only the peers but the superiors Of any
Republican politician who is now before
the Chicago Convention. The Messrs.
Reagan and Bland we regard as states
men OF supereminent worth and qualifi
cations, and only the fact that they hail
from States south Of Mason and Dixon's
line has prevented tumultuous move
ment in their favor for President up to
the time when Mr.. Cleveland's over
shadowing claims Of actual administra-
tive excellence made all other preten-
sions, through well understood rule Of
political propriety and courtesy, inadmis-
sible. The Democratic party has pre-
sented its candidates without. indirection
and without hesitation. In doing
so they have obeyed one Of those thor
oughly manifested, well understood
popular impulses which always mean
success. 1t is now in the politics of the
United States, as it was in critical
state of ancient history, case in which
the stars fight for Sisera-in this case re-
placing the name Of Sisera by that Of
Cleveland.

CHICAGO, June 24.--The sherman
managers have their second wind to-
night, and are mysteriously confident
and satisfied ovor the prospect of to-
morrow's session OF the Convention.
Nothing. definite can be learned from
any of them, but it is known they have
repaired all the broken fences in the
Ohio delegation, and that the
delegation will vote solidly for
Sherman again tomorrow. Governor
Foraker, who last night said there would
be break, says this evening the delega-
ton will be unanimous for Sherman.
The men having Shernan's interest at
hand here have been very busy with the
New York delegation to-day, and in spite
of the apparently authentic report that
New York had changed its determine
ton Of last night to vote for Blaine. and
would GO back to Harrison, it is
asserted in certain quarters TO-
night that they will support Sherman.
FORAKER RETRAcTs.
Governor Foraker, who was inter-
viewed by an Associated Pre- repre-
sentative last night, when he stated that
he would lead Blaine break from Ohio
OF twenty-six votes, was seen again to-
night. He said:
II suppose you know how matters have
been patched up and that the Ohio dele
CATION will stick to Sherman as before.
Your interview with me last night
was correct. At that time a
certain condition OF affairs ex-

combination, and that the ticket would
be Gresham and Phelps. Governor

THE Republican Convention has drawn
its slow length along like wounded
snake thus far. We are promised sensa-
tional developments to-day, and it is
perhaps not too much to expect that the
men whom Cleveland and Thurman are
to beat will materialize in time for a
Republican celebration tonight. Alas
poor nominees! Their fate will be a
sad one, whether their names be
Blaine and Harrison or Blaine and Nc

Hot Weather Telling On HI m

WASHINGTON, June "a. = To-night's
Sheridan bulletin says: General Sher-
idan's condition has continued to i'm
prove. The intense heat is, however,
beginning to tell upon his strength. It
is evidently becoming necessary to con-
slider the question of his removal at an
early day to more favorable locality" !"
1t is believed General Sheridan will be
removed to the seashore during the
present week, provided his condition
justifies it. Fortress Monroe, or Allan

most convenient OF access.

court of Chatham county of the offense of
''setting fire to a dwelling house in the city

which said Harris was guilty was in firing
a fence which stood near to shanty owned
by him on the edge of the city of Savannah,
resulting in actual damage of less than 81;
that said shanty was insured
beyond its value, and that his motive in at
tempting to burn the shanty, was presum-
ably TO collect the insurance upon It; and,
whereas, petition has boon on file in this
Office since October, 1886, asking executive
