THE RAILROAD CONFERENCE.

It Was Continued Yesterday, but No Con-
clusion was Reached.
The conference between the representa-.
tives Of the Wheeling and Lake Erie and
South Pennsylvania aud Ohio railroads,
alluded to in tho REGISTER of yesterday,
was resumed at the Mcclure House yester.
day morning, and the talk was kept mp
until about an hour before noon, when the
gentlemen adjourned, with the intention
of resuming the conference at some future
time, probably 10 New York City.
The gentlemen interested refused to talk
much to the newspaper meu, but 1t is
known that considerable progress has been
made toward an amicabls arrangement be.
tween the two corporations, and that il Ia
not improbable that an agreement will be
finally reached satisfactory to all the inter
ests involved.
The assurance Is given that whatever
may be the result, the Union bridge project
is in perfect ssfety, and that work will 70
on upon it with ell possible despatch. The
estimates for the work have been received,
and everything is in satisfactory situa'
ton. The conference with the Wheeling
and Lake Erie Company relates solely tt
tho road between Martins Ferry and
BowerstoD, o., the question being ~ to
whether 1t shall be built by the W. & l.
E and used by it to bring the Ohio line,
down to the bridge, or built by the bridg'
people, as originally intended, and thrown
open to the w. & L. E. people upon fail
and equitable terms.
Judge Cochran will return to New Yorl
this morning.

JUDGE THURMAN's SISTER.

She Says the Old Roman Is Not Too
Old.
LANCASTER, PA, June S.-A press rep,
resentative to-day called upon Mrs. @.
Reimensnyder, at her home, to elicit hel
views on the subject of the nomination ol
her brother, Allen G. Thurman, for the
Vice Presidency of the United States, by
the Democratic National Convention in
st Louie.
Mrs. Rsimensnyder is the wife Of the
well known clergyman Of that name. Il
don't know how my sister-in-law, Mrs.
Thurman, will receive the news" she
said. she always hoped that Allen
would be President. For my part, be-
lieve it would be more agreeble to them
both to live in retirement in Colum-
bus. But the duties of the Vice Pres
ident are not so burdeDsome, and will
probably furnish the needed amount of ex-
erciss to keep Mr.. Thurman in good
health. 1t is n 'nsense to say that Allen
is in danger of death. He has had rheum
atism, but that does not kill at his age. he
needs to be careful of his food and drink
as all should be at his time of life. The
Thurman's are a long.lived family. His
grandfather died when he was upwards OF
eighty, and of his eleven children who
lived to maturity, my father, Pleasant
Thurman, died at the youngest age, and
he was seventy.two. Allen and are the
sole survivors Of the family. He is the
oldest and am the youngest.

PITTsBURG, June s.-Ths Chronicle.
telegraph rep prints the following from
Philadelphia: A labor bomb is the first
to explode in the Democratic camp.
All the assemblies of the Knights Of
Labor an all other labor organizations OF
this city have received, from st. Paul,
copies of circular issued by a committee
of locomotive engineers and firemen of
st. Paul, for promulgation among members
of the various organizations throughout
the country.
The circular contains series of resolu-
tious severely denouncing the Democratic
National committee for selecting the route
to the st. Louis Convention over the Bur-
lington road at time when that road was
'in the middle of the bitterest struggle
known in the history of combined capital
against labor"
The resolutions also state that the men
who adopted them will not vote for or
support the nominees of the Democratic
Convention under any consideration, re-
gardless of party principles" and they
pledge the labor element involved to "use
their utmost effort to defeat said nominees
at the coming election"

Some Southern Expressions.

MEMPHIS, June S.-The appeal thus
speaks of the platform: ''It more than
sustains the President. Itmakes his tariff
reform message the key to the interpreta'
ton of the party's declaration Oh the tari d
in 1884, and endorses the efforts row being
made by our representatives In Washing
ton to secure reduction OF taxation. 1t
saws nothing about reducing the internal
revenue, and thus fixes the attention oI
the country and our national legislature
upon customs revenue. This is all thai
the most exactipg of tariff reformers could
ask for, and must have the effect OF re-
arousing the enthusiasm of the party,
which was rather dampened by the reports
that came from st. Louis on Wednesday
night"
The Aralanche Gays: "There has always
been a certain degree Of doubt as to the
exact meaning Of the tariff plank OF the
platform of 1884, but as long as it wa'
deemed proper toreiterate it, the convention
should have stopped short after adding the
endorsement of Cleyeland's message. AL
that follows has tendency to befog and
confuse, or if it does nothing more it gives
opportunity for discussion as to the rea
meaning of the platform. 1t is not SC
straightforward and fOrceful as the coun
try had the right to expect, nor will it be 81
easy for Democrats to defend it without
looking around the corner, as its trainers
so ingeniously declare"

WASHINGTON, June s.-Dr. Pepper, Of
Philadelphia, and DR.. Lincoln srrivd ct
the Sheridan residence at $50 this ,orn-
ing.
At 4:3O o'clock they left the house, and
DR.. Lincoln said the patient was better
and that the congestion of the lungs was
somewhat lessened. A few minutes after
wards the following bulletin was issued:
$40 A. M-The reaction continues to
be well sustained. Tnere is no elevation
of oftempeIature pulse 104, respiration "a.
The mind ia more clear. Food and reme-
dies are well borne. The congestion of the
lungs continues severe, but in the absence
of fever indicates no development of ex-
tended Inflammation
The bulletin was signed by Drs. Pepper,
Lincoln, O'Reilly, Matthews and Yarrow.
At 1890 q. m. General Sheridan was
resting easily with no especial change in
his physical condition. His mind was per-
fsctly clear. He asked his brother several
questions about the political news of yes
tsrday and made two or three characteris-
tic comments on the information given in
reply.
At II o'clock this morning it was stated
that the Generals mind had remained per,
fectly clear. He was resting quietly, with
little or no pain, and for the time being his
condition was slightly improved. The or
ganic diseases from which LIE suffers, how
ever, remain uny Gliding. He was more or
less delirious all through the night; not vic.
lently, though, for he was too weak for
that, but he could not recognizs the mem
bers of his family or his physicians, and
refused to take any medicine or nourish-
ment. About s o'clock this morning his
mind cleared aud he readily took pepton.
lied milk. The medicine was given hypo-
dermically.
Each of the several attacks which he
has had lately have left him much weaker
than the previous one. His rallies have
been but partial and unsatisfactory, and,
altogether, the case is a most desperate
one. From information received from
high sources, it is believed that the end is
not far off.

Comments From A Distance.

LONDON, June S.-The London papers,
in referring to President Cleveland's re-
nomination:
The 81 James Gazette says: "The DEM
ocrats are extremely likely to have it all
their own way at the next election. The
Republicans have neither the man nor the
cause, as we pointed out yesterday. The
old issues of the war and the bloody shirt
are exhausted, and the Republicans are
looking about for o new cry, which is not
easy to find. Their still greater difficulty
is to find q candidate who can make good
fight against the present President"
The Pail Mall Gazette speaks even OF q
third term as matter of course, and says:
"a President who has been success is
almost sure to be nominated a second and
third time, and the danger Of the pro-
ceeding will lie in his entourage and not
in his personal greatness. If he governs
well and wisely only machine politicians
are likely to oppose him."

A PROHIBITION VIEW.
SC. John Thinks Cleveland q Strong Man
Before the People.

st. John Thinks Cleveland Strong Man
Before the People.
NEW YORK, June 8 -"What do think
of Cleveland and Thurman" said ex-Gov-
ernor st. John, repeating the question of a
reporter who ran across him. well
Cleveland is a hard man to beat and Thur
man will probably add strength to the
ticket. Still, the Democratic party is
again dodging the most vital question of
the day?"
"You mean prohibition, 1 suppose9"
ventured the reporter.
II do; and if you live long enough you
will see it the leading issue Of q canvass, ]"
"But you admit that Cleveland will be
reelected"
IT do nothing of the sort. The day of
election is good way of. There is no
telling what may happen during the next
five months. The Prohibition party has,
in selecting General Clinton B. FIX,
placed before the public man who is, in
the fullest sense a patriot, a soldier and a
statesman. He is also Christian. II
these qualities count for anything he should
be elected"
"whom do you think the Republicans
will select, now that the Democrats have
shown their hands?"
That's very difficult question to an
swer. and am not given to guessing"
SLOW about Gresham
"Well. there seems just now q greater ef-
fort being put forth in his behalf than for
any one of the twenty-five possible candi-
dates. The fact is the Republican party Is
practically without leader, now that Mr..
Blaine has retired"
"What chance is there for Depewp"
"His chances to get the nomination are
better than for him to be elected in Novem-
her. His connection with the great railway
monopolies would undoubtedly weaken
him in the West. 1t might not be fatal,
hut there is no question about his being a
weak candidate"
$50 Won are satisfied with the situationT"
"Ouite so. We may not win this year,
but our party will show such strength at
the polls that success is certain in 1892. "
sis that not looking too far ahead, Gov
ernor?n
isNo, sir; when you are talking of ma
tioual questions what are four years in the
history of q nation2 While I admit that
Mr.. Cleveland is strong man with the
people, a good many things may happen
between now and election day which would
entirely change what some might now
seem to be the inevitable result. 1t the
| election of 1884 had been held in October,
instead of November, Mr.. Blaine would
have been elected. But his party carried
the campaign Of personal abuse to such ex'
trsmes as TO disgust many people, and the
reaction set in to such an extent as to lose
IN Mr.. Blaine the State of New York, and
nossibly one or two more which otherwise
he might have carried"

HOW RECEIVED.
The News Of His Nomination Announced
to Thurman.

The News Of His Nomination Announced
to Thurman.
COLUMBUS, O., June S.-When the news
that Hon. Allen G. Thurman was the NOM
inee of the Democratic National Conven-
ton at st. Louis for the Vice Presidency
of the United States was received in this
city, the street in the vicinity was throng-
ed with people anxiously awaiting the re-
suit of the ballot, which had previously
been announced. As soon as the informa-
ton was read an enthusiastic Democrat
shouted:
THREE CHEERS FOR THURMAN I!
And right heartily were they given. The
news soon spread, and caused great en-
thusissm among the people who had known
the ''Old Roman" for years.
THE JUDGE TALKS
Areported on Judge Thurman. He was
found in his elegant library, surrounded
with books and, figuratively speaking,
smoking the pipe of peace in the shape of q
cigar, the Judge has not looked brighter
and more vigorous since he rendered his
decision to opermlt the use of his name for
this office. Congratulations on his NOM
inatiou were extended.
He said: "Well, / don't know; if a man
is struck by lightning, how en- he help
it?"
"You will now be called upon to make
an active campaign"
''Thst is hardly probable" remarked
the Judge ina humorous way, "as the peo.
decrepit old man."
A gentleman from st. Louis remarked
81 have just come from the convention,
and everything was for Judge Thurman fol
ths Vice Presidency, with no one raising
objections"
"Yes; there were objections" remarked
the Judge. ''My wife was objecting, and
l had serious objections. From the very
beginning of the agitation, as God is my
judge, did every thing
IN MY POWER TO PREVENT IT.
But with what success you now see. L
is, of course, gratifying to realizs that
so many people think well of me, and al
the same time, could have had my owl
way, would continue to do as am now,
reading q new history of Greece"
CoNGRATULAToRY TELEGRAMs.
As soon as it became known that Judg,
Thurman was the nominee congratulatory
kilograms began pouring in. They came
from leading Democrats in almost every
State in the Union until they filled bushe
and are numbered by the hundreds.
