speeial Dispatch to he hiteii0enocr:
ST. LOUIS, June 7.-since Thurman's
nomination the Democrats say John
Sherman will certainly be the Republi-
can nominee.
There is scarcely an effort to disguise
the fact that Thurman was put on in
the hope of forcing the Republicans to
nominate Sherman, whom the Demo
craft believe to be the easiest man to
beat. This idea was Mt the bottom Of
the Thurman movement, and it was this
that added to the enthusiasm. When
Gresham, Harrison and Depew are
named, they say they are all impossible
now.
The die is cast for Sherman. Not con
tent with making one ticket, they have

The News from st. Louis In tho House--Thc
Fishery Treaty In the Senate,


WASHINGTON, D. c., June 7.-The
House to-day wentinto Committee oithe
Whole on the tariff bill, Mr.. Dingley,
Of Maine, speaking in opposition to Mr..
Breckenridge'samendment to the proviso
attached to the lumber schedules OF the
free list, which proposes to admit Cana
dian fish free OF duty upon allowance to
that country OF commercial rights to
our vessels and also for reciprocity in
the exchange Of products between the
United States and Canada. A protrac-
ted debate followed, but finally the lum-
Der schedule was completed without
change. At one time politics got the
upper hand and several kilograms
and bulletins were read as parts OF
speeches. Mr.. Weaver read bulletin an
nouncing the approval OF the Mills bill
by the convention and to all appear
ances the Republicans took as much
comfort us the Democrats in the an
nouncement. Cox read the announce
ment OF Thurman's nomination and Il
scene OF wild confusion followed. Near
ly every Democrat was on his feet shout
ing and cheering, and bandannas APP
peared in every hand, and portrait OF
Thurman was displayed. Beggs, OF Cal
itornia, added to the excitement by call
ing out in voice broken with emotion,
II have worked thirty years in California
to see Thurman nominated. Thank
God, he is now on the second placcc,"
Mr.. Payne, of Pennsylvania, sarcas-
tically inquired OF the Democrats why
they manifested so much enthusiasm
over the tail Of the ticket and so little
over tho head.
Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, in explains
ton, as he said, Of the action Of the
Democratic Convention in omitting all
mention OF the Mills bill from the plat
form and patching it up in subsequent
resolution he had read two telegrams,
one sent by Breckenridge, OF Kentucky,
to Watterson saying failure to endorse
the Mills billmight defeat it, the other
from McAIillen, of Tennessee, to Cover
nor Brown, making the same statement.
Mr.. Kelly ironically inquired il the
Convention had fixed a date upon which
the. Mills bill should go into effect.
The salt schedule having been reached,
the committe rose and adjourned.

Governor Fornker says He Is Weak Can
didate.
CoLuMpUs, o., June 1.-THE following
interview was had with Gov. Foraker
relative to the nomination of Judge
Thurman:
Governor, what will. be the effect oi
the nomination Of Thurman for Vice
PRESIDENT"
Governor Foraker replied, 81 do not
think that his nomination will add any
strength TO the Democratic ticket in the
State, and do not know why it should
in any State. He is now not
only quite old but apparently very in
firm. 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 a candidate
before the people was when Hayes de.
feated him for the Governoship in
1867. He then ran behind his ticket.
Every man on it got more votes than he
received. The Democrats got the Legis.
lature that year, however, aud he was
sent to the Senate. But it was not his
strength that carried the General Assem-
bly,. The result would have been the
same in that respect had the candidate
for Governor been either Payne, PEN
dleton or Ranney.
He never had any special strength.
At this time he has less than ever before.
He will have difficulty in commanding
the full strength OF his own party. The
dissent to his nomination BY part Of
the Ohio delegation fairly represents the
sentiment to him among Ohio Demo-
Gratis"
"Will be get any Republican votes on
the ground that he is especially honest?"
NO" replied Gov. Foraker; che will
not get any Republican votes. He is no
more honest than most men are, or than
all men should be, and so far as his abil-
tiles are concerned, whatever they may
be, he has, at least, not made much use
OF them in a political sense. He opposed
the war, emancipation, specie resump-
ton, and almost everything else that
has been accomplished during the last
thirty years OF which any American is
proud to-day. He has simply been a
lifelong, unfaltering Democrat Of the
anti-war, Bourbonist char
acter, who has stood by his party through
good report and bad report"

sPRINoFIELD, o., June 7.-The meet
ing at Blacks Opera House tonight,
was overwhelmingly for Blaine. The
meeting was addressed by Judge Will
liam H. West, who nominated Blaine in
1884. He said the idea of the
meeting was not to antagonize any
Of the distinguished gentlemen
mentioned in connection with the
Chicago Convention, but merely to ex.
press the preference OF the Republicans
OF the Eighth Ohio District for leader,
He doubted not that all these men were
qualified for the high Office OF President,
but personal strength with the people
in addition TO qualifications was de-
manded OF the candidate this year. He
said Blaine had been driven from the
contest by the endorsement OF Sherman
atToledo year ago, and stated his belief
that the Florence and Paris, letters would
never have been written had It not been
iorthat endorsement. He expressed be-
lietthat Blaine or Depew could poll 90, 600
more votes in New York than any other
candidate, and Ohio ought to be mind
ful OF that.
Resolutions were adopted pledging
support to the Chicago nominee, but
commended to the convention that

GEN. SHERIDAN WORSE.
He Has Another Severe Attack
Of Heart Failure.
DISSOLUTION WAS FEARED
For a Time, But at Last Accounts
There Was Slight Improve
ment in His Condition.
Latest Bulletins.

WASHINGTON, June 7-S:9O p. NJ
General Sheridan's condition is unim.
proved. His recovery from the attack
OF heart failure this afternoon is only
partial. An unfavorable bulletin is ex-
pected this evening.
p. M.-The failure Of the heart,
which was noted in the last bulletin,
has been followed by q severe conges-
ton of the lungs. General Sheridan is
delirious. His temperature is a little
over 100; his pulse 1ls; his respiration
10. He takes nourishment, and has
grown Quieter within the last hour.
LATER-General Sheridan's condition.
is again exceedingly precarious, and tie
feeling OF hope and cheerfulness which
prevailed the household has once more
given way to gloomy apprehensions that,
the worst may occur at any time. There,
was q recurrence OF the heart failure,
this afternoon, but the attack was not.
so serious as some tha. have preceded it,.
The physicians, were warned of its ap-
proach and awaited its appearance with
dread forebodings. Prompt measures
were Immediately taken to tide the
patient over the fainting spell, but
with only partial success, and his
rally from the effects was slow
and feeble. The attack left him in
a delirium. His manner, however, was
devoid of nervous excitement, whether
or not from the fact that the attack was
less severe than some others was due to
the administeringof remedies to prevent
its recurrence, cannot be ascertained to-
night, though this is not improbable.
The congestion OF the lungs has again
become very severe, and is, perhaps,
more to be feared than the heart trouble.
/ m.-General Sheridan has become
more tranquil in his mind since o
o'clock. He has had several short but
quiet sleeps and is now sleeping. The
pulse and respiration are diminished in
frequency but not in strength and reg
ullrity,

In the Senate Mr.. Morgan asked leave
to offer preamble and resolutions set
ting forth that the report of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations on the
Fisheries treaty questioned its legality
and declaring it valid and lawful.
Mr.. Vance moved TO refer it to tho
Committee on Foreign Relations, but
Mr.. Sherman objected to this introduce
tion.
Mr.. Morgan demanded the right to
speak on the motion to refer. The chair
held that he could not be permitted to
speak until the unanimous consent for
the intraductionso Of the resolutions was
given.
Mr.. Cameron-I move to proceed with
executive business.
Mr.. Morgan--I do not yield the floor
for that purpose. Thisimportant treaty
has been made mere political foot bail
OF a great party for the sake Of advancing
the interest OF certain gentleman in
the National convention 10 be held in
Chicago. Despite the ruling of tho
chair against him, Morgan maintained
his ground and referred to the address
delivered by him on the subject in ex-
ecutive session. One Of the sentences
OF that speech was that the Senate
''may make war necessary, us am very
much afraid we are doing here to-day
The action OF the Republican Senators,
he said, was doubtless with a view
OF exciting the antagonism OF the Irish
voters to the President because Of lis
alleged snbseryiency to British indu-
ences. That charge ranked with injus.
tice, Congress,ihe said, had given tho
President power which all Presidents
possessed since 1850, to wage paper
war on British commerce. II the Presi-
dent had pushed it to the extent of real
war the country would have cried out
for his impeachment, but having failed
4 to do so he was charged in the report OF
the majority Of the Committee on For
eign Relations with usurpation and
abuse Of his constitutional power. The
resolutions went over without action.
After routine business the Senate ad-
journed till Monday.

which loved and honored Thomas A.
Hendricks and present and have adopt
ed serious OF resolutions Of respect to
the late Vice President and Of regret at
his death. The resolutions were adopt.

ment that the committee had been unan-

Mr.. Cooper, OF New York, dissented
with this exception-the committee was
unanimous.
