The convention was called to order at
zoos, but it was not until two minutes later
when the proceedings were formally opened
by Chairman Estee calling upon Senator
Warner Miller of New York to preside over
its deliberations
The Pennsylvania delegation came into
the hall at l045, and yielded, after
long wrangle, to Quay's desire that they
should hold on to Sherman for two sure bal
lots. The great majority of the delegation
also proposed to vote for an adjournment af-
ter the second ballot.
The convention then proceeded to ballot
When Connecticut was reached, ore vote
was cast for Mr.. Mckinley of Ohio As
soon as this announcement was made, Mr.
Mckinley was seen to rise in his seat, and
amid the most impressive silence proceeded
to make a statement. He was greeted with
storm of applause. He withdrew his name
from the list Of candidates. The forth and
fifth ballots resulted as follows:
The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1888-06-28

At the evening session, and before a
ballot had been ordered Chauncey
M. Depew of New York withdrew
his name as presidential candidate. There
was on his face more serious expression
than is his won't He looked like man who
had a solemn duty to perform, who was glad
to do it, and who would feel relieved when
it was done. So long as the
task remained unperformed it was
burden to him. He spoke as a man
might he expected to speak who was turning
his face away from a great ambition. His
voice was strong and firm and clear, and
there was not culver in it. He spoke as
calmly, as simply, and yet as earnestly as
though he were announcing the retirement
of another man, and not making
public remuneration of his own hopes
He made his decliuaton in a
manly, patriotic way, SO that the
great convention knew that he did it for his
party sake
At the conclusion of Mr. Depew's speech
Mr.. Hastings of Pennsylvania made the mo-
ton to adjourn until ~ o'clock Saturday
morning. The call of the roll of sta+rs was
demanded, with the result that til, re were
535 votes for adjournment and oDiy 23a

Fourth Day.
The people and the delegates reassembled
In Convention hall little later than usual
There was intense interest to know what the
result of the first ballot would be. WISE
acres of every description were on hand with
tally lists and pencils ready to figure out the
presidency There was everywhere the
hustle and confusion and the low hum of ex-
pectation which is always noticeable in large
crowds on the eve of an important event.
Bob Ingersoll was one of the first distin-
guished personages to enter, and as he came
up the hall, genial and smiling, the picture
of hope and comfort, he was greeted with ap-
plause from all quarters, notably from the
Blaine benches
Three ballots were taken without result,
when the convention took breathing spell
until evening.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-05-15

THE HERALD thinks the Mills bill all
right, where it puts borax on tho free
list, and reduces the tariff on raisins from
two to one and one-half cents per pound.
Messrs. Thompson and Biggs, the Demo-
cratic members of Congress from this
State, are endeavoripg to have these
features eliminated from the bill VIII

press.
Be candid, neighbor, if there is any
candor in you. The HERALD has been
instant in its pleadings for our in
terests. 1t did, indeed, decline to follow
the lead OF you and of others of your
kind, when you set up an uncandid and
untruthful plant, that our fruit indus
tries would go to ruin if the Mills bill
should become law. Any such out Civ
ing is as unwise, as ill-considered as it
is false. Our fruit interests will not go
to pieces if the bill passes. At the same
time we are heartily glad that our Rep
resentatives have taken this matter mp
as they have, and urged some such
action not a week ago. The Express
knows this, for it commented on what we
said.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-05-15


| KNOW many people who came out
here last winter to invest in fruit lands
in California who have gone back with
out putting in dollar. Cleveland's
message and the Mills Tariff bill scared
them, and they will wait and see who is
to have control of the country for the next
four years. They say if the tariff is to be
removed on fruit they can do better to 90
and buy lands in Mexico. Land can be
bought there for one-tenth of what it
costs here, and labor costs next to moth
ing.
So the San Francisco Bulletin says a
Santa Ana fruit-grower stated the other
day. In the first place better
authority than the Bulletin must
be found for the assertion be-
fore those who knew anything of that
papers political tricks will credit the
statement. In the second place, if any
one has said it and said it truthfully,
then it only proves that the people who
took such action were badly. very BADLY
informed about our fruit industry. Its
profits do not hinge on so narrow mar
gin as the bagatelle tariff protection.
They are much more Pactolean in their
depth, breadth and flow
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-05-15

CALIFORNIA is to be congratulated on
the action taken by the Messrs. Biggs
and Thompson upon the Mills tariff bill.
They are Democrats, but they do not
forget that they are Californians. In.
stead Of blind partisan following OF
some chief, or imagined obligation to ac-
cept any measure put forward, they are
studious of the best interests of their con-
stituents. 1t is to be earnestly hoped
that their expectations will be fully
realized in the matter of procur-
ing such an amendment to the Tariff
bill as will work an easement
to our industries. The arguments for
such action are that the change will not
greatly affect the revenue, that fruit is
rather a luxury than a necessity, that
the making Of bags, hoops, and like mat
ter used in the shipping of our products
free will both reduce the reve-
nue. and benefit our farmers, and
that those interests Of the Coast
which are embraced in the provi-
sions of the proposed amendments
are still in somewhat of an experimental
stage. If our Republican members OF
Congress would stop talking to their in
telligent and industrious voters along the
Barbary coast in San Francisco and try
to do something for the benefit OF the
State, it would be more patriotic, if not
quite so loyal in the line of purely party
duty.

We say then let u5 put our emphatic
approval on the man, and on his meas

calamity into line in this respect. From
Maine to Texas, Vermont, New Hamp-

East Pennsylvania and Maryland in the

harmonious acceptance. in cordial ap-

this grand diapason OF the party war song.
Now is our turn. No discordant vote

greeting to the East, to the South, to the
valley of the great rivers and mighty
lakes,to the States along the slopes OF the
Rockies. She will join her chorus OF
strong voices to those from all
the sisterhood of States. The
burden will be, Cleveland, Statesman and

TUE Mills bill, we are told, scared of
the persons who were negotiating for the
purchase of the Coleman borax swamps.
These people should have first studied
up the history of the enterprise they
proposed to embark in. Had they done
so, they would have learned that when
we export commodity by the million
pounds to England, we do not need
protective tariff to keep that same
article from being shipped into our
own country from Italy. But
there are great many thick -and-thin
advocates of tariff for taxation who ev-
identity imagine that the movements OF
the heavenly bodies, and the tides OF the
ocean are regulated by the influence of
the present schedule, first formed to take
care OF the enormous expenses incident
to the war which ended nearly quarter
of century ago.
