WEST POINT, N. Y, June 9.-The military
exercises which have been in progress. on the
camp grounds since the conclusion of the ex-
animation of the cadets will be practically
brought to close Immediately. Owing to
the precarious condition of Gen. Sheridan's
health and the imminence of his death since
the examination opened, no arrangements
were entered into having reference to the
usual commencement festivities. Monday
afternoon, after the graduating exercises are
finished, the first class will give a dinner and
reception at the Hotel Brunwick, in New
York, the furlough class also holding the
usual annual banquet and entertainment in
the city at the same time.

A Grand Entertainment.

NEW YORK, June 9.-Elbridge 7. Gerry
gave grand entertainment ON board his
beautiful steam yacht Electra. The unique
feature of the affair was the fact that the
yacht was anchored in East river directly in
front of Bellevue hospital and within a short
distance of the morgue. The blaze of cleo
trio lights on the yacht lighted up the hospital
and morgue. The patients and officials in
the hospital and the officials at the morgue
alike enjoyed the music of Mr.. Gerry's orch
estra and were delighted with the entertain
ment. Whether Mr.. Gerry chose his loca.
ton by accident or design is not known, but
the presumption is that he did it by design,
for the amusement of the hospital patients.

He Thinks the "Old Roman" Will Not

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June Ex-Governor For.
aker was asked what the effect would be of
nominating Thurman for the vice presidency.
He replied: ~ do not think his nomination
will add any strength to the Democratic
ticket in this state and do not know why
it should in any state. He is now not only
quite old, but apparently very infirm. This
will weaken him somewhat, but the truth is
he never was any stronger than his party; in
fact, not quite so strong The only time
since the war that he has been candidate
before the people was when Hayes
defeated him for the governorship in
1867. He then ran behind his ticket.
Every man on it got more votes than he re-.
ceived. The Democrats got the legislature
that year, however, and he was sent to the
senate; but it was not his strength that car.
ried the general assembly. The result would
have been the same in that respect had their
candidates for governor been either Payne,
Pendleton or Ranney. It was the question of
negro suffrage and the prejudice 1t excited
that defeated us as to the legislature that
year, and not Thurman or any other man.
$50 it was that they carried the state six
years later, in 1873, when they again got the
legislature and reelected Thurman to the
senate. His personal strength had nothing to
do with the result. That was the year of the
Rise Up William Allen campaign and the
panic. His election to the senate was due
both times to what were for him such for
tuitous circumstances as these. He never
had any special strength. At this time he
has less than ever before"

"The action of the convention is precisely

Mr.. Cleveland had no competitors for nomi-

it was equally clear that his views as ex-
pressed in his message to congress last win

a rebuke."

is virtually the platform, omitted all allu.

are contemptuous opponents to reform. The
silence of the platform upon the subject of
civil service reform can therefore be no sur
