tors are anxiously watching to see If there will
be a recurrence. Rigid treatment has been
prescribed with the hope of warding off any
threatened attack. Should the General go 49
hours longer without return of the heart
trouble, it is believed that he will then have
good fighting chance to get well.
TUESDAY, JUNE IL.
Gen. Sheridan's barometer of convalescence
shows no storm signal. The only change wor-
thy of note is mentioned In the evening bull
letin of yesterday. His powers of assimilation
are increasing, and his food supply is allowed
to extend in proportion.
The coughing, which has been the indica-
ton of lung congestion, has nearly ceased.
The General hreathes easily and deeply. The
various organs have so nearly resumed their
functions that unfavorable conditions are
rapidly lessening and disappearing. The
heart has slightly improved. Although
irregular. it does not show the same tendency
to run the gamut of speed which has been
its chief characteristic the past week.
If the periOdicity of attack continues to follow
the peculIarites of malarial tendencies, there
will be danger of a relapse on Wednesday, fol-
lowing upon hcmorrhage or any one OF half a
dozen secondary causes. If Wednesday, passes
without event, convalesceuce may be con}idered
to have fairly set in, and Gen. Sheridan will
land on his feet all the better conditioned for
the rigid regimen under which he has been
placed.
Col Sheridan strolled down town yesterday
for the first time since his brothers severe ILL
ness begun. He looked little pale and tired,
but was as sangHine aud emphatic as ever.
The General he said, had at no time been in
as dangerous condition as the newspapers had
made him out; but herein the Colonel disagrees
extensively with the physicians, especially
with DR.. Pepper, who, not being an Army Sur
geon, is not under obligations of secrecy.

COMRADES: came here to-day to see you
and talk with you aud shake hands with you,
while Col Carr, and others, you know, came
here to make eloquent addresses for you to
listen to. i think he has been too eulOgistie of
me in his remarks 1t is true that fought in
almost everybodys army, from Pea Ridge to
Appomattox, and although l fought with cav
airy and with infantry and on every line of
operation, and always had to change and take
new men on new lines, was very successful.

service, and the date of every commission that

great trouble with men who command troops
is that they kill men unnecessarily. You may
kill as many men as you choose if you give
them an equivalent for the loss. Men do not
like to be killed for nothing; they do not like
to have their heads rammed against stone
wall unless for some good results. These are
the points | made during the war. Whenever

TIE CONVENTION
The Democrats Select Cleveland and
Thurman as Standard Bearers.

The Democratic party met in National Con-
vention at st. Louis, Mo-. June 5, and from the
first had an exciting time. There were two
demonstrations marking the first days proceed
ings which clearly indicated the sentiment of
the assembled delegates, the first being sud-
den wave of enthusiasm which spread through
out the hall when Thnrman's name was men,
toned the second, upon the mention OF Presi-
dent Clevelaud's name.
Curiosity to see the new hall in which the
convention was to be held obtained the early
presence Of great many of the delegates, who
came as early as 10 o'clock, although knowing
the meeting would not be called before II
o'clock. They found themselves in a hall so
long and narrow that the band, stationed in
the furthest gallery could hardly be heard, and
their loudest sounds were mellowed into faint
melody ere they reached the platform.
The decorations were effective, but not ex-
travagant. consisting of heavy festoons of the
broad stripes of the National colOrs along the
galleries, caught and fastened at each column
by a couple of flags, with the cOat-of-arms of
each State. They gave a pleasant warmth of
color to the interior, and toned down the i'm
mensity of the hall wonderfully. Back of the
raised platform was painting of immense size
of the Capitol, which it was said had cost the
committee $500, aud it was not bad piece of
work.
The Cleveland Democracy of Buffalo, uni
formed in dark suits and white hats, appeared
st the southern entrance of the second gallery,
their band playing Dixie" marching around
the hall three or four times. The familiar air
created considerable enthusiasm. Several men
who entered the hall were roundly cheered.
Senators Voorhees, and German receiving ova-
tions, as did Col. Morrison, Mr.. Staley and
Henry WattersOn.

THURSDAY. JUNE 7.

To-day the Convention nominated Hon.
Allen G.. Thurman, of Ohio for the second
place on the ticket amidst the greatest uproar.
There was considerable strength shown by
Gov Gray, of Indiana, but Judge Thurman
was nominated upon the first ballot and his
nomination was then made unanimous.
When the Convention proceeded to vote, and
the names of the States were called. and a voice
from Ohio called out Gray, there was a storm
of Kisses aud cries of Put him out" Before
the vote of Wisconsin was announced it was
evident that Thurmau's nomination was as
sured, and the Convention was thrown into
fever of excitement and enthusiasm when the
Indiana delegation took down the gray hat
which had been held alOft all day on its BAN
ner-pole and flung a red bandanna to the
breeze.
This was signal for repetition of the scene
of yesterday, when Cleveland was nominated.
The Indiana banner with its hutterAg red
bandanna was caught up by two excited dele
gates and borne to the stage, where 1T was
waved frantically during the continuation of
the demonstration. Some one tied red ban
danua about the neck of the bust of Cleveland
in the rear of the stage, and cheers of the Con-
ventiou, which was now wild with enthusiasm,
were redOubled.
Tim O'Leary, a Pennsylvania delegate
brought live fighting cock in the hall and
tossed it in the air. The bird tluttered to the
floor, but not before ii had caught the eye Of
the Convention, and the hall became a pande-
monium. The delegation banners, all deco
rated with red bandauHas. were borne from
State to State about the hall in frantic man
ner and thousands of red bandannas waved all
over the hall. The demonstration lasted for
about 10 minutes. After something like order
had been restored the calling of States was pro-
ceeded with, but before it was completed Mr..
| Patterson, of Colorado, moved that Thurman s
nomination be made unanimous, and the mo-
tion was seconded by Mr. Shanklin, of In
diana who rose for the purpose of withdraw
! ing the name of Isaac p Gray and secOnding
/ the motion to make the nomination of Allen
| G. Thurman unanimous. He promised the
| Convention that as the delegates had been for
| Gray yesterday and this morning they were
now and from this time forward apostles OF
| Thurman. The motion was agreed TO and the
nomination was made unanimous amid loud
! cheers.
The Chairman then declared Allen g. Thur
man as the unanimous choice of the Conven,
ton After passing various resolutions Of
thanks and receiving the names of the Ma.
| tional Committeeman from the various dele.
cations, the Convention, on motion of Gov
Green, of New Jersey, at 200 p. m. adjourned
sine die.
The platform declares for tariff reform, agains
needless taxation, against trusts and corpora
tions and while guarding the taxpayer pro
poses to grant liberal pensions to all soldiers
who are worthy of the same.
The Convention adjourned sine die at
o'clock p. m.

seen very many instances within the past two
weeks where as deep feeling was shown by men
who never wore a uniform. as by those who

A DRAMATIC SCENE.

A Wisconsin delegate in the front row got
upon his chair and pinned large red handker-
chief to the banner of his delegation. Imme-
diately thrill of excitement ran through the
immense assemblage, and all over the hall men
arose and waved hats and handkerchiefs, shout
ing at the top of their voices. and several mem
bers of different delegations pinned red ban
danas to their delegation flags expressing, sup
posedly, their desire for Judge Thurman for
the Weep Presidency.
S. NJ. White, of California, was made tempo
rary Chairman of the Convention, aud f. o.
Prince, of Massachusetts, Secretary. Mr.
White delivered an address of some length, ar
raigning the Republican party, praising the
Democratic Administration for the manner in
which affairs have been conducted for the last
three years, and giving President Cleveland
special praise for his veto messages which had
saved the Government millions of dollars.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6.

Hon. Pat Collins, of Massachusetts, was made
permanent Chairman of the Convention, and
President Cleveland was to-day renominatcd
by reclamation amid the widest excitement
His name was proposed to the Convention by
Daniel Dougherty, of New York, and when at
the climax of his eloqHenee he named Ceve-
land for the first time in his remarks, the fran
tic cheering of both delegates and spectators
lasted for the space of % minutes. High above
tho heads of the delegates could be seen the
waving of hats. canes and red baudanas, while
many Of these were tossed high in the air, and
no single person could hear their screeches amid
the oyerpowering din. At this moment the
mammoth picture of the Capitol at Washing
ton, before alluded to, covering the wall above
the platform. opened, and a picture of Presi-
dent Cleveland appeared. At this everybody
in the hall seemed to go perfectly DAFT, shout
ing and yelling aud generally conducting
themselves as though demented. Everything
was hurry -burly, and continued so long that
order was not restored enough TO transact
business for nearly half an hour. A delegate
from Kentucky seconded the nomination when
order was finally restored. and upon his mo-
ton it was made unanimous amid another hur-
