reached here at | / o'clock Saturday night,
and at once proceeded to their quarters at
the Grand Pacific, Miller said there was
nothing in the report TINT Depew would not
run if he found the anti-railway man senti-
ment strong.
The hail was completed Saturday, and at
night view of the interior was given to
thousands of citizens who passed through it,
and all were delighted with the effect of the
lights and decorations.
The national committee held a meeting
Saturday night and postponed selection of
temporary chairman until to-day, The tenn
porary secretaries were selected, and are as
follows: Michael Griffin, of Wisconsin;
George W. Clsbee, of Michigan,

The committee did its most important
work for the session when it admitted Da-
kota to the convention as state, giving it
ten delegates, A proposition to admit Alaska
as territory tabled.
The committee has decided to admit both
the Malone and anti MahonC delegates from

ChaunCey Depew denies that he has
written or said to any one that he would
not accept the republican nomination for
the presidency. The inference is that he
will take the nomination if he can get it .
This inference is strengthened by the fact
that the New York Mil anil Express.
which is owned by Elliot F. Shepherd
who married William II. Vanderbilt's
daughter, is urging Depew's nomination.
The New York Star tells what would
happen in the event that Mr.. Depew
should become the republican candidate
His nomination would be resented by
many thousands of republicans, as well
as the independent voters Of the country
at large, as an attempt to establish dan
gerous autocratc corporation influence
in power. With such nominee in the
field the Vanderbilts and Goulds
would loosen their money bags and
pour out their millions literally to secure
his election. His path to the white
house. if he ever reached there, would be
literally paved with gold. His cabinet
would resemble council of corporation
lawyers, his receptions would be like
those of an imperial ruler, surrounded by
moneyed barons and mobiles, guarded al
every avenue by the combined wealth of
capitalists; while the common people
those who, in u true democracy, are the
sovereign power-would be kept in a
distance, and their rights and suffrages
trodden under foot.
Mr.. Depew may be nominated, but he
can never be elected. AS the Star says,
it will be many years if, indeed, it ever
happens, before the American people de-
liver their liberties over to a syndicate of
railroad kings.

THE charge is made against Judge
Thurman that lie was a Comprehend
during the war. In 1867, only two years
after the war ended. he was the demo-
cratic nominee for governor OF ONO.
This charge was then brought against
him, but it had SO little effect upon the
people that he came within 5000 votes
of an election, although the previous
year the republicans had carried Ohio by
$4,000 majority, The democrats, indeed.
secured the Legislature in this year (1SGO
and that legislature elected Mr.. Thurman
to the United States senate where, for
twelve years, he illustrated the highest
ideals of American craftsmanship We

The body of the late emperor yesterday

in the coffin at o'clock yesterday afternoon
Visitors were escorted in groups between

Park station to the entrance of the Jasper
gallery, and, on leaving, far rs the Chariot
tenburg station in the Sans Souci park, Visitor
waited in anxious suspense until admitted in
groups of six to the death chamber. They
were mostly warm hearted women. The
face Of the dead scarcely paler than that
of the sick man in life, lay upon snowy pill
lows, with framing of hair and beard ot
light brown color, rather than gray. The
expression of the face was peaceful and
sweet beyond description. Spectators were
unable To restrain their tears as they gazed
upon the features of the dead,

deathbed of the emperor Friday morning,
the empress rose and took DR. MacKenZies

When the younger members of the family
had lett the room the empress begged DR.
Mackenzie to tie handkerchief around the
throat, in order to hide the canula. Her
majesty also directed the laying ont of the

NoRTHPoRT, June 1S.-The schooner Flor
ida, from Taunton to New York, put into
this place Friday evening to land two boys
whom it had picked up in a skif several
miles outside in the sound. The boys proved
to be James s. Robinson, aged IL, and How
ard f, Barnes, aged 10, who while playing in
a skiff at Rocky Point on Thursday last, were
carried ont of the harbor by a strong tide.
The little fellows spent all of Thursday night
in the open boat, and when they were pick ed
up at p. m Friday they were nearly ex
hausted by hunger and fright.
