CHICAGO, June 23.-The Tribune says
that the anti-Harrison forces have COM
bined to prevent his nomination this
morning, and after a ballot or two will
adjourn to unite on some other candidate.
The Netcs says that the ticket still looks
like Blame and Harrison or Blaine and
Alger.
The Tribune says that Alger and Alli-
son gained strength during the night.
The Herald says that the Alger and Alli-
son men are very hopeful, and that part
of the Pennsylvania delegation will go to
Allison after Sherman. All papers agree
that at present Harrison IS the most prom
inent candidate.
The Tribune says: The Harrison men
claim that it was first agreed that Harri-
son should have % out of the 72 votes
from New York. But Hiscock took a
hand in it and the recaloitrant seventeen
were all corralled save two. Who these
two are it was not given out. Hiscoclc
spent nearly his entire evening at the
Harrison headquarters.
The original programme of the New
Workers in going over to Harrison was
simply to test his strength ON iwO, pos
sibly three ballots. If at the end of these
ballots Harrison failed of a nomination.
then the New York delegation would
abandon the Hoosier candidate, such
was the programme TO be carried out last
evening, and it might have been had not
an adjournment been taken.

Saved from the Storm

SAN Francisco, June 22,--The steamer
Bertha, from Kerleck, Alaska, brought
three of the sailors from the cod-fshing
schooner Isabel, which encountered
gale May and two days later had to be
abandoned. The men took to the boats,
but in the storm got separated. The eight
skitis, which contained the nineteen men
on board the Isabel, at first divided them.
selves into two parties of four skitfs each.
The skifls of each party were lashed to-
gether. After being out three days two
of the men went mad from the hardships
endured. They had to be put into separate
boats and soon were drowned. Another
boat capsized, and Captain Nickerson, in
trying to save the lives of the men, was
drowned, as were also the men whom he
tried to rescue. 1t is believed that the
men in two of the boats, which got sepa-
rated from the Others, were also drowned,
making fourteen who lost their lives.

Jennie Bowman Aveneed

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 22.-William
Patterson, colored, was hanged this morn
ing at Gil for the murder of Jennie Bow
man on April %, 1887.
Death ensued from strangulation in ten
minutes. Patterson died very hard, lift
ing his body up and down by his neck
in horrible manner. Four minutes
after the drop fell he drew his legs up and
cried, Lord, take me-" DR.. Garvin says
talking after the drop is unprecedented.
He protested his innocence to the last.
Patterson was convicted of completely
with another negro named Albert Turner
in the murder of q servant girl named
Jennie Bowman in April, 1887. Turner
was executed for the crime on July 1,
1887, confessing the act and declaring just
before the drop that Patterson was inno-
cent of any participation in the deed,
On April 81, 1887 an excited mob sur
rounded the jail bent on lynching the two
negroes. The State militia was called
out and guarded theprisoners for three
days, keeping the moh at bay, when the
excitement subsided and the crowd dis
persed. Patterson's case was taken to
the Court of Appeals and argued before
the Governor, who declined TO interfere
in the matter.

Opinions of the Press.

New York World: The tameness of the
tariff portion of the platform indicates a
division in the party on the question of
high protection and an unwillingness to
go 10 the people without some sort of a
pretense in favor of reducing taxation
and revising the war tariff. 1t
practically indorses the Democratic posi-
ton, that tax reduction and tariff re-
vision are necessity.
New York Stn' The Republican plat
form is more than twice as long as the
to say that there will not be half as much
misunderstanding as to what ii really
means.
New York Star. The Republican plat
form is diiiuse document, explanatory
and apologetic in tone, which fails to pre-
sent any plausible pretense for asking the

New York Tribune; The convention
has put Mr. Blaine into its platform,
whatever candidates it may nominate.
The principles for which he stands, the
ideas which make him strong with the
nation, make this grand platform last
ing memento of his brave spirit and wise
leadership.
New York Herald: We congratulate the
country that the Republicans have COM
mitted themselves squarely upon the one
question of which everybody Is thinking,
and on which the canvass ought to be ami
will now be made. They are for high
taxes, and for wasteful and jobbing ex-
penditures in order to perpetuate high
taxes. The Democrats oiler against this,
low taxes, economical administration and
no surplus.
New York Times; And there is, OF
course, variety of arraignments of the
Democratic party. We fought that party
for many years, but we never found it,
except in 1864 and 1868, so hopelessly and
stupidity blind to the issues of the time as
the Republican party now is, and never
so completely under the domination oI

THE ANTI-sALooN MEN.
They Get Nothing But snub From the
National Convention


Says W. II. d. in his Chicago special to
the Baltimore Sun this morning
"What has become of the anti.saloon
plank ?" was general inquiry in news
paper quarters after the reading of the
platform was concluded. That plank
had been dropped out almost at the last
hour before the resolutions were read to
the convention, A member Of the Com
mittee on Resolutions explained
"There was long discussion and de.
cided squabble over the question of an
anti-saloon resolution, and the commit
tee was in session until late hour
last night but when they got to-.
gether this morning the vote against
resolution bearing upon the
saloon and the temperance question was
decisive Very few votes were cast in Its
favor"
The belief had been general that a
temperance "straddle" would be made as
concession to the Prohibitionists, but
that belief was not realized. The Anti
Saloon Republican National League
made their appeal to the committee for a
plank, but the Republicans appeared to
be content TO make their platform simply
take issue with that of The Democratic
issue, and they did not venture far into
the regions of originality.

port from the Northwestern grangers,
Ohio's name provoked the first great
demonstration of the convention. Gen

THE MAN FROM MAINE.
The Shadow Blaine Casts Upon the
Convention Grows

CHICAGO, June 22.-The shadow of
Blaine grows. 1T the probability Of his
ultimate nomination was strong three
days ago, It has doubled its force to-day.
The nominations have shown very clearly
that not only is no candidate likely to be
the favorite of a majority of the delega-
ton, but there is no mistaking the timbre
of the applause INr him. II is not for
Blaine, the belovZl Republican, but for
Blaine, the hoped.for leader. There is
even talk tonight that his name will be
pushed with all vigor on the third ballot
tomorrow. There is no doubt that his
friends are in constant communication
with him.
They say he has refused any reply what
ever and Elkins, Kerens, and the rest are
begging CalifOrnians not to preclpitate
matters, but to wait proper moment,
which means the moment Of a seemingly
hopeless deadlock But the Pacific
people say they were sent here to nomi-
nate Blaine, and they will vote for him
upon the first ballot. They may be per-
suaded meanwhile, but the foremost men

CHICAGO, June 22.-The air was filled
with rumors of combinations and dicker-
ings, plots and counterplots this morn
ing.
The Blaine undercurrent seemed to be
as strong as ever, and the fact that
Walker Blaine was closeted with the
Maine delegation until late hour last
hight and again early this morning was
generally commented upon as having
more than ordinary significance.
There was confident feeling in the
Sherman camp, and the Greshamites
were also in similar mood, as a result of
the rallying of the United Labor forces
under their banner.
OF course the enthusiastic contingents
of the other candidates were claiming
everything in sight, but 1t was noticeable
that the managers of the booms had
adopted at last conservative policy, and
were unwilling to go very far in the di.
rection of prediction.
