years was elected district attorney, an
office which he held for four years. AT the
expiration of his term as district attorney

a law partnership with James I. Ewing,
in January, 1853, which partnership still
exists.
In 1864 Mr.. Stevenson canvassed the
state of Illinois as a candidate for presI-
Dental elector on the Democratic ticket.
In 1874 he was nominated by the Demo
Gratis for congress. The district had 1900
ReDubi icau majority, but Mr. Stevenson

national convention OF 1884, which nomin
ated Grover Cleveland tor president. After
the latter's election Mr.. Stevenson was ap-'
pointed first assistant postmaster general,
and held that Office during the entire
Cleveland administration. He was out
spoken IN the belief that it was a Demo
cratic duty to remove Republican post
masters from Office wherever pos
sible and to appoint efficient Demo
Gratis in their stead. The CELEBRITY
which Mr.. Stevenson displayed
in removing Republican postmasters and
appointing Democrats made him very pop

yentiou which yoday nominated him for
the vice presidency, aud was chairman of
the Illinois delegation.

The Parrees and the Dead Prince.
In connection wita the expressions OF
sorrow evoked throughout all parts of
ou- Indian empire by the sad death Of
the Duke of Clarence one oe the most
remarkable perhaps was the meeting of
the Parsee residents of Bombay. The
Parsees assembled the other day in the
beautiful Wadia Fire temple under the
presidency of Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy,
| the well known Bombay millionaire and
philanthropist. After prayers and ref
erences to the duty of loyalty to rulers
as inculcated by the Zoroastrian theol-
ogy and philosophy, the dustoor, or
iParsee high priest, observed that the FIRE
that was kept. burning ia the censer be-
fore the assembly was the emblem of
the light of heaven, and before that fire
they must all earnestly solicit and pray
to the Almighty Ahura Muzda that he
might grant a peaceful repose to the
spirit of the royal prince in the eternal
abode of paradise.
After invoking the archangels and an
gels to guard the princes spirit from
harm, the prayer specially composed by
the dustoor for the occasion ended with
beseeching the continuance of the safety
and prosperity that the Zoroastrian COM
munity enjoy under the rule of her
majesty the queenempress. All this is
touching, characteristic as it is of that
loyal and generous.spirit so consistently
displayed by our Parsee friends in In
dia's commercial metropolis.-Colonies

A DUBIOUS OUTLOOK.

CHICAGO, June 23-OOVernOH Flower of
New York said that he had no criticism to
make upon the work Of the convention.
I'VE can only bow to its conclusions and
do all the work we can TO elect the candi-
dates" he said The condition of New
York, politically. Is u rather curious one.
We have a very difficult fight to make
aud we certainly woulG have preferred TO
make it with some candidate who would
not have aroused opposition III our state.
The Judgment of our party, however, we
accept fully aud finally, and we will do all
for Mr.. Cleveland that we would have done
for Hill or German or GrHy. We feel hat
we are handicapped, but New York may
be depended upon to do The best we can,
even under the most adverse circum-
stances. 1t Is my judgment that with hard
work we can, perhaps, carry the state. |
do not like to make any promises, but if
The state can be carried Tor Cleveland by
loyal and faithful work, then nobody more
than ourselves Will be glad to know that
our fears Were groundlcss."
Bourke Cochran of New York said:
''Ihe New York Democracy will not sulk,
1t will do Che best II can. If we 20 into
this fight without very much hope il is
because we know New York better than
The pEople OF Texas or Illinois; but we are

been known IN that state for a long time

THE TARIFF PLANK.

The convention brought with it many
surprises. None was greater than that
the committee on resolutions should have
been repudlated, as dislOyal 10 the revenue
reform principles of the Democratic party,
and its tariff plank, swept aside for the
substitution OF a clause declaring against
the principle Of fprotectiOn. and maintain
ing that the federal government has no
power to impose tariff duties i'll excess of
The revenue necessities OF the government
when honestly and economically admins
Tered. In a convention controlled by the
friends of Grover Cleveland by bver Two to
one, it remained forhis principal opponent,
Henry Watterson. of Kentucky, to chal-
]enge the very friends of the recognized
leader of tariff reform for faltering at he
crucial moment and for endeavoring TO
compromise and temporiZe with the
burning issue OF the age. He it was who
brought the substitute TO a successful
vote, and so built the only platform on
which Mr.. Cleveland or any other nom
lnee of the party conld stand
The official vote for the nominees was:
