The Ticket.

No stronger ticket could be nominated
Thurman. The denomination of PRESS
dent Cleveland was a foregone cOnclu-
sion. The logic Of the situation pointed
to Grover Cleveland as the only possible
candidate of the democracy. AS the
head of the only democratic administers
ton for quarter of Il century it would
have been an admission that the party
had failed to fulfill the expectation of the
country had he not been renominated.
The ARGUS believes that President
Cleveland will also surely be re elected.
-Four years ago the democracy was handi-
capped by more or less prevalent feeling
OF distrust as to its ability to successfully
govern the country. This sentiment was
sedulously cultivated by the republican
newspapers and orators until there can be
no doubt that many good people really
came to believe that the democratic party
could not be safely trusted. The country
has been so uniformly prosperous during
the past four years, the government has
been conducted with such marked con.
servatism that not trace of this feeling
now remains.
1t is inevitable that when president is
a candidate for reelection the record of
his administration must be one of the
principal issues in the campaign. Mr.
Cleveland can confidently invite close
scrutiny of his acts as chief executive
The changes in the offices were made
slowly and with deliberation. not with
such indecent haste as charac terized the
advent of the republican party to power.
His appointees, from the cabinet officers
down, have been almost without exceps |
ton, men of the highest standing, and |
have executed the duties of their respect |
i've offices faithfully and well. No scans
dial has attached to any of them. The |
president himself has attended to his |
manifold duties with unprecedented in
dustry All bills submitted to him have |
been carefully scrutinized. and no inn
proper measure or extravagant appropri> |
alton has passed the gauntlet of the pres |
idential veto. The strongest argument
in favor of President Clevelands re-
election is his past record.
But If Cleveland is lacking in any ele> |
ment of strength Thurman supplies it.
1t is nonsense to claim, as some republi-
can papers do, that the nomination of
the old Roman is practically an abandon
ment of Indiana. If there is a single |
living democrat who belongs to the coun-
try at large. it is Allen G. Thurman.
His fame and the veneration with which
he is regarded are not bounded by state
His popularity on the far distant Pacific
rivals the love entertained for him at
home. He will be as strong in Indiana
as any citizen OF that state. perhaps
stronger on account of the absence of any
local rivalries.

Fort YATES, D. T., June 1.-THE great
est tempest ever known in this part of Da-
kota passed over this point at O'Clock Sat
urday morning. Houses were blown down,
fences lifted up and hurled through space for
miles, trees torn up by their roots and borne
along for several rods, Indian tepees picked
up and demolished The wind came up while
the people at the fort and in the vicinity
were sleeping, and the first intimation they
had was the removal of their roofs from
over their heads With the wind came the
heavy thunder and the vivid lightning Ten
minutes after the storm broke it began to
rain in torrents keeping it up for more
than an hour and causing immense dam
age by washouts in new-made gardens
and wheat and corn fields. Several persons
were killed by the lightning and falling
debris Those so far identified are Shell
King, the celebrated Indkal chief, and his
son. A farmer living two miles south of
here was found dead in his field half mile
from the point at which his house was
located. The building had been completely
wrecked, and it is supposed the man had
been carried to the point where found by the
tempest. One side of his head was crushed.
Matte Dambowski, girl of IL, living at a
settlement six miles SOUTH has not been seen
since the storm struck that point, and it ia
believed she was blown into the river and
drowned. Search is being made for her
body. 1t is feared others have been killed,

of workingmen here last night was called 10
take some action regarding the importation
of several hundred Italians by the Trust Gas
company. An effort was made TO indorse
resolution which would undoubtedly have led
to immediate trouble. and which was as fol
lows:
Resolved, That we give j. c. Gibney & Co.
twenty four hours to discharge any and all Ital.
ians they have in their employ, and IL they are
not discharged, we, AS All organized body OF the
workingmcn of Indianapolis and the state Of ln-
diana, will rise en- nasse and drive the said dagoes
from their work
A violent discussion arose. Tom Cooniield
gave "A graphic account of the treatment he
received from the trust officials as IA member
of the committee appointed to demonstrate
against the Italian labor lie said that they
told him Mr.. GIbney had gone to attend the
st. Louis convention, but that he found out
five minutes afterward that they had lied ia
him, and that Gibney was in the city. He
went back into the trust office, and they then
threatened TO throw him and his comrade
out of the office bodily, one Of the clerks
holding open the door while the others rolled
up their sleeves preparatory for tisticuif en-
counter Fortunately for the clerks" he
remarked, my companion and preferred
peaceful measures to those of hostility, and
quietly departed
Finally the more conservative element tri-
umphed, passing a resolution denouncing
Gibney q Co, and concluding as follows:
"rhat by any lawful means in our power we
will agitate this and kindred wrongs TO work
ingmen of indianapolis until the Consumers
Gas Trust company and every other organ
ization employing workingmen shall realize
that the work and wages incident to Indian
apolis enterprises belong to the worlingmen

LONG PINE, Neb., June 1l.-William
George, proprietor of the hotel at Spring
view, died in terrible agony Friday. He
owned a valuable blooded horse that was
shot on 9th inst. by State Veterinary Surgeon
Gerth. The animal had the CHAMBERS. In
caring for the horse during its sickness, Mr.
George contracted the disease. The horse
snorted and threw the poisonous pus over his
head, face, arms and hands Every spot OF
flesh it touched developed into an ulcer For
two weeks he suffered untold agony. Mr.
Georges last hours were spent in the most
terrible contortions and suffering, the poison
having secured such a hold on his system
that relief was an impossibility.

New York, June 1l.-"You are "A traitor
and a spy" This is what made the air blue
in the New Amsterdam club Saturday night.
At the time this reclamation was made the
reception room was nearly filled
with club members discussing the. st,
Louis convention Congressman Adams, of
Chicago and Bartholomew Buckley of this
city were present on invitation Of
members of the club, and the discus
sion was rather warm over the selection of
Dougherty, Tammany man, to nominate
Cleveland. Buckley is County Democracy
man, and he was easily riled over the fact
that the opposition organization had been
awarded the honor, and Mr.. Adams
riled him, wherefore the epithets.
The Illinois congressman let out
with his right and give-and-take battle
lasted until the bystanders had sufficiently
recovered from their surprise to rush in be-
tween the men. Both gentlemen seemed dis
posed to go in for another round but their
friends dragged them off. Members of the
club refused to talk about the row.

GENERAL PILLS CHANCE.
If He Can Stave on Relapse Forty Eight
Hours There viii BE Hope.

WASHINGTON CITY, June 1l.-Gen Sheri
dan passed comparatively comfortable day
yesterday. DIR. Pepper arrived here from
Philadelphia about 6 o'clock in the evening,
and after consultation with DR.. Lincoln and
regular attendant physicians the following
bulletin was issued at p. m;
Gen. Sheridan's condition continues at least as
favorable as it has been for three days past. His
respiration is still Irregular his pulse slower, and
expectoration less. The heart action is improved.
The nervous force holds out well and his mind is
clear. There is no present Indications of any Sc.
rious complications impending. His appearance
is better, and he expresses himself as feeling
hopeful of recovery.
At 1880 last night Drs O'Relly Matthews,
and Byrne, the physicians remaining at the
mansion at night issued a bulletin stating
that the general had been resting quietly
since Z p m. that he had taken Dourishment
and had good sleep, and that there was no
change to record in his condition.
Shortly before DR.. Pepper left for Phila-
delpha he said the case was critical but not
entirely hopeless. If tho general could get
through forty eight hours more without a re
currence of the heart trouble he would hav
a fighting chance for recovery
