Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
CHICAGO, June 22.-The heat was great
in the auditorium this evening, and the
futter of fans was incessant The desire
for comfort was stronger, with many men
in the audience, than gallantry towards
the ladies, and coats were removed and
vests opened, but the desire remained
unsatis6ed.
1t was rumored that New York had de-
cided to break to Harrison, in order to
prevent an agreement between the Indi-
ana and Illinois delegations to solidify
the strength of either Harrison or Gres-
ham; but it was also stated that this ac-
ton on the part of the New Workers
would prevent split among the Indi
anians, and transfer a number Of votes
from Harrison to Gresham.
The Convention was called to order al
Z 10 P. NJ. by Chairman Estee, who had
recovered his voice to certain degree.
The band struck up number Of spirit
| ed National airs, amongst them beins
Dixie" which, however, did not create
the enthusiasm which it excited at thu
st. Louis Convention. "My Country
'Tis of Thee" was more popular, ant
was greeted with applause, as was ais,
Marching Through Georgia."
After the music and noise had quiete,
down, Chauncey M. Depew was recog
nized by the Chair and took his way +
the platform amid applause.

New YoRK, June 22.-The Prohibition.
lists held ratification meeting at the
Metropolitan Opera House to night,
Clinton B. Fisk, the Prohibition candi-
date for President, was chosen speaker.
He said:
"The home protected against the sa-
loon will be the greatest factor in pro-
tecting the industries Of our people. st.
Louis said not word on the important
question before us. Surely from Chicago
we should have received deliverance on
this question"
John A. Brooks, OF Missouri, the next
speaker, said: We will not take the
chief representative of monopoly in Ne
braska and make him temporary chair
man of our National Convention, nor a
whisky man from California for perma-
nent chairman. Polygamy, feudalism.
and slavery are dead, and the whisky
traffic must die.

A SCENE OF CONFUSION.
The California Banner Plays
Cons picuOus PART.

After the excitement commenced, there
was grand mixed cry for Blaine, Alger
Sherman, Allison, and other indistinci
utterances, impossible to recognize. II
was noticeable that many OF the dele
gates, particularly some of those from
Kansas, Maryland, Maine, Ohio, Massa-
chusetts, Indiana, and Pennsylvania, left
their seats, evidently to leave the hall.
The large banner, with "Blaine and Pro-
lection" upon it, was lifted up from the
seats Of the California delegation, and its
exhibition was largely cheered. This
flag was held up by M. II. DeYoung and
Henry I. Gage, of California. Dur
ing all this, many ladies' in the
gallery enthusiastically waved United
States flags, amid enthusiastic cheers
for Blaine it was attempted to
bring up to the platform the banner con-
tanning the words" Blaine and protection
but it was carried back again. After the
excitement had run about eight minutes,
the secretary, with a gavel, endeavored
to bring the meeting to order. While
this was going on, Fred. Douglass had
taken the chair, but in moment or two
left it, and Fitch, of California, sat in it.
However, there were repeated cries for
Douglass.

"Jim blaine of California;,

CHICAGO, June 22.-The general i'm
preston around the Leland Hotel, before
the nights session, was that Blaine
would be nominated at the first session
tomorrow. The California men are par
ticularly active and enthusiastic, and
claimed that the only man upon whom
the Convention could unite was "Jim
Blaine, OF California"
blaine is bound to be the nominee, I"
said Colonel Gage, one of the most active
California delegates, "the ballots OF this
morning show there is no chance for any
other man. The Convention had Just as
well vote for him first as last. 1t is
bound to be Blaine in the end"
"Has there been any conference OF his
supporters since the Convention ad-
journed?"
at would be funny il there had not
been. No, sir, cannot tell you what
was done at the meeting. 1t would not
be justice to the gentlemen who we're at
the conference, nor would it help Mr..
Blaine's prospects. Rest assured Mr..
Blaine will be the nominee OF the Con-
vention."
"Who will be given second place."
II don't know anything about that
and care less. All we want is Blaine,
and Blaine we are going to have"

Immediately after adjournment, the
audience set up a wild yell for Bob In.
gersoll, in which the majority OF the
delegates joined. After withstandinp
considerable urging, Bob Ingersoll
stepped out from behind the desk where
he had been sitting and was received
with enthusiastic cheers. He addressed
the meeting as follows:

Charles II. Pope, the we'll known vet

Upon conclusion of Pope's recitation
the Chair (Douglass) said:

you on Republicanism." [Cheers.
Fitch then addressed the Convention
as follows: "Citizens-I behold in this

ssPatfence'' by the Pykc COMPANY
AT the Pavilion.

nv tne l-aNlil0ms
The first performance Of Patience by
the Pyke Opera Company at the Pavilion
last night was witnessed by very large
audience, whose verdict was one of lavish
appreciation. Mr.. Pyke has spared no
expense or trouble in mounting this
piece, and he has succeeded in producing
what is his best effort here so far. There
is only one weak point and that is the
drill of the soldiers, who should certainly
be relegated to the awkward squad But
this is forgotten among the pretty re-
Trains, most OF which are we'll known to
the musical word, and the quaint libretto
which is put in the hands OF actors
we'll suited to their parts. Mr.. Rochester
is capital "Bunthorne," his make e.up
being very fine, and Mr.. Valerga's tenor
voice is heard to advantage in his rendi-
ton of the character Of The Duke"
Miss Manfred scored ano her success, and
the rest OF the caste well sustained their
regulations.
There will be a matinee to-day at which
Patience will be again produced, and il
also holds the boards for this and to-
morrow nights.

RELUCTANT WITHDRAWAL.
Depew Would Rather Be Preside en-
than a RaiIrOader.

Chauncey M. Depew was seen after
the Convention tonight and asked his
reasons for withdrawing. Before replying
directly Depew spoke OF New York and
its peculiar condition politically.
"There is" he added, sin New York,
an undertone of indignant feeling against
Cleveland. This feeling can be utilized
only bya citizen Of New York one whohas
the confidence of the business classes
from long connection with them and resi-
dence among them. 1t is feeling
which, with proper direction, and can
didate in whom they have confidence,
feel sure would succeed in carry
| ing the State. The dissatisfied would
strike and strike to kill l am in the en-
ploy of the railroad of which 1
am president, and which employs
thirty thousand men, and twenty thous-
and OF them are Democrats, and
every man of them would vote
for me. Why? Because ever since
my Presidency, my Office door has been.
open always to any employe of the road.
The charge is, that as railroad man /
am not to be trusted; that, having
worked for salary for the
own one-thousandth part OF one per cent.
VI PiOPCitiCo ludndec, l. ndtc Dt~
come SO imbued with devotion for them
that when l quit work and my salary
ceases, will continue to favor them in
every possible way to the detriment
of the public service. That is
the charge. 1t means that the railroad
men of the country are to be disfran-
chised; that to be railroad man is to be
a bar to public service; that railroad men
are not to be trusted, and that they are to
be denied the right belonging to the
humblest citizens in the land. Repre-
sentatives Of five Western States came to
me this afternoon after the Convention.
They told me my nomination would be q
serious thing to the Republican party
in Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska and Wiscon-
sin. They told me it would permanent
lily endanger the Republican par
ty in these States, perhaps dis
rupt it because l was q railroad
man; that it would identify the Republi-
can party with railroad monopolists; that
as a consequence members Of Congress,
State officers local officers and electors
would be defeated. They said it would
permanently endanger the party. They
were sincere in what they said. Some OF
them were sorry it was so; they said it
was a sentiment to be stamped out, but
that five months of campaign was not
enough to do it in. l said, very well,
will not be candidate"

Sottd Progress.

Judged by the standard OF substantial
Improvements which are now under way
in the city OF Los Angeles, this munich
pality is passing Just now through the
most prosperous period it has ever known.
There is nothing meretricious about this
state OF things. Buildings Of great archi-
tectural pretensions and of magnitude
fitted to adorn New York, Chicago or
Paris are going up on every hand. Bus
mess blocks costing $150,000, and private
residences that cannot be finished and
properly furnished short Of 5000 are
not in,requent incidents OF this improve
ment impulse. They are being erected
by people who know what they are doing
and who can pay for them. There is not
only great settlement under way in Los
Angeles county just now, but the area Of
lands devoted to production is extending
rapidly. Farming proper. with the
profitable incident of market gar
dening, is increasing greatly in all
directions. More money can be made in
truck gardens in the rich bottom and irri-
gated lands of Los Angeles county than in
any other portion of the United States
In many vegetables two or more crops
can be taken in the same year from the
same ground. and irrigation is of itself O
sufficient fertilizer. The cultivation O
fruits, both of the subtropical and tenn
perate zones, is also being extended
Our vineyards are widening every year
the few orange trees sacrificed to Tho
corner.lot craze are more than bein,
made good by the great acreage of tn,
citrus fruits which is daily coming int,
bearing. Financially matters are on
healthy basis although speculation ha
received much needed check. Oul
banks are on most excellent footin,
and capital from abroad is flowing il
daily, not only from the East but iron
San Francisco and Northern and Centra
California. Good acreage propert,
is to-day as much in demand as a
any time in what was know
as the "boom." The number of peopl
who realize that they cannot get on with
out the climate OF Southern Californi
was never 50 large as now, and the i'm
migration to this section will be large
than was ever before chronicled. Will
an occasional "paper" town has beer
blotted out, at least for the present, tn
work of development and of railway ex
tension goes steadily on. The movemen
of population towards this section is s.
large, and will became so much larger
that even the "paper" towns will b
brought into play in time, while all prop
erlylocated towns for which there ever wa
any legitimate excuse are already on
sure and satisfactory basis. Take it 10
all in all, matters are very bright in Lo
Angeles just now, business of all kinds
good and if we have any "busted'
''boom" we don't know it. In fact, tn
legitimate growth travestied by tina
absurd word is remarkably comely anc
prepossessing looking proposition.

Stabbed at Rauchito.

A serious stabbing affray was reported
at the Police Station at l O'Clock this
morning as having taken place near Ran.
chito early in the evening. So far az
could be ascertained, John McConno and
Peter Perguela who have been ranchinr in
partnership became involved in a QUAR-.
rel, during which McConno seized rifle
and attempted to shoot Perguela, who
closed in on McConno and stabbed him
several times. Perguela then ran away
and McConno was brought to this city in
a wagon. His brother gave the above
account at the Police Station, and stated
that the Constable at Los Nietos was in
pursuit of Pergnela.

The WEEKLY HERALD issued from this
office yesterday was the finest hebdoma-
dal published in California. Its twelve
pages OF carefully selected reading matter
gave a complete picture Of the occur.
rences in all quarters OF the world. Dur
ing the current campaign we shall present
to our readers a complete history of all
political events OF interest and we shall
supplement it by splendid volume OF
local intelligence and of special articles
descriptive OF this section and especially
OF Los Angeles city and county. No
Angeleno should be without either the
daily or weekly HERALD. To be without
one or the other is to behind the age.

THE Republican Convention sitting at
Chicago adjourned last night to ten
O'Clock this morning. Probably during
the later hours of yesterday and the
"wee sma'" hours favored by politicians,
a slate will be arranged. The withdraw al
OF Depew is highly significant. The
forecasts OF the strength of the respective
candidates thus far made by the Associ-
ated Press have been signally successful,
particularly so in the instance of John
Sherman, who was allotted $50 votes and
whose highest score was 249. Sherman
either saw his highest vote yesterday or
will be the nominee to-day. The ad-
iournment was moved by Judge Hast
ings, who nominated Sherman, though
what point could be made for the leading
candidate by an adjournment it is hard
to see. If Mr.. Blaine wants the nomina-
ton, and were really playing a game, he
will be nominated to-day. If not, the
action OF the New York delegation will,
in all likelihood, decide the issue.

In Is doubtful whether in the history
of any nominating convention that sat in
the United States there has been more
clap-trap than in the proceedings of the
advocates of great moral ideas now sitting
in Chicago. The way sugary adiectives
are daubed over everything Republican
is calculated to excite unbounded admira-
ton. To read the fowery harangues of
the orators one would suppose that at a
time when the leadership OF the party
has been reduced to notably common
place men, the race OF statesmen and
patriots was never so lush and prolific as
now. The nation has been waiting a
long time TO find out that Alger is com.
bination OF statesman and soldier. with
out peer in the present or parallel in the
past, and that the cold and scheming
John Sherman, with his millions, accumu-
lated on salary not sufficient to enable
his family to live in Washington in a
first-class boarding house, is modern
combination of Colbert and Alexander
Hamilton. Fortunately, however, adiec-
tives cost nothing. The most encomiastic
come as cheap as modest ones; and WHY
be economical when everything in that
line comes gratis, like slices OF Bologna
sausage in lager beer hall? 1t is per-
hap' good policy to at .empt to compen-
safe foi the absence OF real merit bv un
deserved praise, but the practice violates
the time honored adage that good wine
needs no bush.

theaters to which they can resort; but according
to those rules which society has prescribed as almost
memorable, the wife must remain at home. There
is no escape for her. Her troubles are stfed in
her bosom. She dare not utter even one loud cry
of broken-hearted agony and despair.
And it must be admitted that as q rule these pa

lures of jealousy the GOODNESS, perhaps the cruelty
the long and anxious watching for her lord who

Yet they utter no murmur Of complaint to the

than the partial spirit of the general who buttons
his coat to conceal the fatal shot, these noble wives
