CHICAGO, June 1S.-"Blaine, Blaine,
James g. Blaine" was the cry of a
large street parade tonight in
augurated by the Young Mems
Business clubs of this city.
Probably 1000 or 1,200 men were in
line with several brass bands. Besides
the young mems clubs, there
were $50 Califorhians; the Topeka
Flambeau club; number of Kansas
delegates: and pehaps 800 Ohioans. All
sorts of transparencies aud banners
were carried, the favorite notices be-
ing:
sBlaine and Protection" and ''Blaine
Brains. ."::The paraders marched through
the streets for couple of hours and
met with an enthusiastic reception all
along their route.

CHICAGO, June 1s.-"Far, far at sea"
aptly expresses the situation tonight.
If there is one man among the million
of people in Chicago who has definite
opinion as to the outcome of the con-
vention, he hasn't had the courage to
express it. This convention is excep-
tional in one respect. have never be-
fore attended convention before but
that on the eve of it there were some
evidences of concentration. Nothing of
the kind is visible here tonight.
On the contrary the conflicting
elements are getting farther apart, and
in most instances feeling of bitterness
is manifested. Blaine is the cinder in
the eye which causes all the irritation.
The Minnesota delegates are drifting
with the others. They, too. are at sea
in an open boat without rudder or
compass, and will land just where the
tide carries them. The day has been
one of noise and buster: of parades and
surging crowds. and consequently every

TO OVERTHROW THURsToN.
A Fight Against Him Will Be
Made in Convention.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 1s.-Late tonight it
was rumOred that, Notwithstanding the
concessions to those who opposed
Thurston, an effort would yet be made
on the floor of the convention to prevent
him getting the coveted temporary
craftsmanship. The anti-monoply dele
gates were saying that they would GER
>tainly make fight tomorrow at noon
when the convention is to assemble
provided they could get an available
man to stand against the brilliant Ne
braska railroad attorney. No one has a
word of objection to Judge Thurston
personally. In fact, he is great favor
ite even with his opponents, but they
see chance to make capital of oppos-
ing him on account of his business con-
nections.. 1t was broadly hinted that a
lively fight on Thurston by the West
erners would be wholesome lesson in
directly to the boomers of the greater
railway magnate and presidential possi-
bility, Chauncey M, DepeW.

CHICAGO, June 1S.-The New Eng

to-day. At the first caucus the candi-

and it was decided that New England
could make itself felt by presenting a
united front. At the second caucus the
feasibility of voting with New
York on the first ballot was
considered, and majority of
the Connecticut men strongly urged
this course of action. Conference
committees were appointed to talk
with the managers of various booms
and report the situation to the meeting
to de held tomorrow. The Texas dele
CATION at meeting to-day decided to
present the name of presidential cam
didate to the convention. They will
present Judge G. r. Sabine or Judge
Mccormick, both of United States dis
trict courts. This action caused vast
amount of comment.

DOUGHERTY'S AMBITION.
The Eloquent Orator to Be SEM
to Congress From a New York
Downtown District.

New YORK, June 1S.-Daniel Dough-
erty, who affiliated with Tammany i'm
mediately on his migration from Phila
delphia to this city, and who made the
speech in the st. Louis convention re-
nominating Cleveland, is slated for con-
gress. 1t was wonder to his friends
for awhile that he should make his DOM
icile at the AstOr house, because that
hotel, although not bad one, is too far
down town for residence purposes. But
it is all plain enough now. The Eighth
congressional district includes the lower
end of the city, where business struc-
lures have nearly crowded out all other
dwellings than tenement houses and
ianitors'. quarters, but it includes the
Astor house, and it is one of the dis
tricts which Tammany carries safely in
its pocket, another being the one
from which Congressman Cox is
sent to Washington. Tammany
as it's chief speaker, and was therefore
bound to give him politically whatever
within reason he desired. He chose a
seat in congress, and that is why he 10
Gated himself so far down town. Blu
there is congressman from the Eighth
district already in the person of Timothy
Jefferson Campbell, representative of
that part of town, and unique charac-
ter in his way. He is one of the boys,
with no polish and plenty of rough
edges, but whole-souled and popular
with his constituents. Two men more
distinctly unlike than Dan Dougherty
and Tim Campbell could not be i'm
agined, the one polished, oratorical
gentleman of the old school, and the
other roistering fellow, with an un-
grammatical tongue. But Campbell is
strong in the hearts of his neighbors,
and he declares positively that he will
not give up his place if he can help it.
Tammany is mighty, and is accustomed
to prevail in that district, and so Camp
bell will, doubtless, have to be unseated
for Dougherty. although there will be a
hot fight about it.

Upon the Tarver plantation, in Baker

height, and of almost superhuman
strength. His feet are large in proper
ton to.his stature, and it being impossible
to purchase any shoes large enough for
him at the stores, they have to be made
to order, at a great outlay of leather and
cost. He puts his large feet to excellent
use, being rapid pedestrian. He fire.

prOwess, and goes by the name Of Sam
Satan.
Between the Tarver plantation and
town there lies and old cemetery. Once,
while making rapid strides toward AL
bany, Sam neared the graveyard, and
he heard some one in loud voice cry

he reached the place he saw an old man
apparently driving pair of white
horses, and calling out to them in loud
voice. Upon approaching the horses and

It would probably puzzle Mr.. Samuel
NAVAL himself to tell what he is worth.
Ii is no small sum though, and is almost
wholly In real estate. He has the repu-
tation of having more dwelling houses
and business blocks to rent than any
other man in st. Paul. These Struc-
lures are located in all parts OF the city,
and comprise some of the largest blocks
as well as some of the smallest Struc-
lures on which rent is collected. MIR.
NAVAL came here a good many years
ago, and being a far-Seeing and Shrewd
man he was as fully impressed with the
Importance OF ST. Paul as was the Hon.
William H. Seward, when he made that
celebrated speech on the capitol steps.
In accordance with this idea,
Mr.. Mayall invested heavily in
real estate, and has held it with
an unrelenting grasp through a great
many periods of great depression. The
struggle to keep his realty has been an
exceedingly unpleasant one, and for
years he has been fighting his way
through lawsuits, struggling with mort
cages, paying interest, taxes and as
SeSsmentS, being defeated and swindled
by cheating. dishonest tenants, and
generally tieeced whenever any knave
could get a hook in on him. Mr.. Mayall
has made good fight, however, and 1t
Is pleasant TO know that he has held
everything so level that the last years
of his active life are likely to be blessed
with an abundance of this worlds good
things. Twelve or fifteen years ago he
went out Seventh street and on
one of the highest points on
Dayton'S bluff erected large
and expensive brick residence. AT
that time the bluff was a wilderness,
and lots could he bought almost any
where for $50 or 800. At that time Mr..
NAVAL was not under the necessity of
buying lots for the purpose Of securing
a residence location. His observation
had told him that that bluff was des-
tined to become of very great import
ance and value, and that sooner or later
large money would be made on real eS-
tate in that locality. He took a large
quantity and has held On to it. He
owns valuable property on Jackson and
East Seventh streets, and also i'll almost
every other part OF the city. In ordina-
rily good times he would be million
Rire.
F. F. Drake may be classed as one of
the wealthiest gentlemen of this city.
He did not make his wealth by bank
ing. but in a considerable degree by
ralrOading. He came here a good many
years ago, and with Col. John l.. Mer

ers' association, pricked with an upward
tendency. Then that association met,
and the ears of all pricked with for

decided to use the strong arm of the
law. Alas the courts of the land went
against the association, and now there is
a grievous and very unanimous ten
dency of ears to loop downward this
glad new year morning.

RAM built the St. Paul & Sioux City
road. This road was run for many
years between st. Paul and Sioux City
while it paid nothing, and Mr.. Drake,
Mr.. Merriam and others kept the bonds
afioat by paying the interest themselves,
and doing good deal of tinanciering.
They finally sold the road, and it be-
came part of the Omaha system.
After diSposing of his interest in the
road he erected several fine large blocks
In st. Paul, which rent readily and at
good prices. He has also made various
investments which have proved profit
able, and altogether he has accumulated
good, snug fortune of very ample pro-
portions.

ness. He owns here and there a
piece of valuable real estate in st. Paul,
but Notwithstanding all the induce
mentS to put money into realty he has
utterly and continuously refused to be
drawn into speculatiOnS of that kind,
and has steadily adhered to the banking
business. He is one of the shrewdest,
coolest, most conservative and judicious
of all our bankers. AS a result of his
investments he has accumulated very
large fortune, which places him in the

"To space then and to solitude must
be added, in order to produce the dis
tinctlvely tranquilizing, effect of land
scape, the felt presence of organic life.
1t is the total absence of this element
which made the starlit, heaven appear a
"sad sight" to Carlyle; it is its total alb
sence that makes the desert and the
glacier uniting objects of continual
contemplation. And it is its presence
which causes those vague lOngings that

ously allayed by one glance at York
