will as being well-nigh invincible source
of strength to the ticket it almost fell fiat.
The evident mood of the convention led
the Maine delegation TO ask that no
further action along the Reed line be taken
until authority could be received from the
ex-Speaker himself to use his name. This
feeling of caution developed most de-
cidedly when one Of the Maine delegates
arose, and with sad expression of coun-
tenance said he was certain that Thomas
b. Reed would decline a Vice-presidential
nomination if rendered.
THE EDITOR WON IT.
Thus it transpired that, shortly after Mr..
Loudon of Tennessee, had withdrawn
Thomas b. Reeds name, ex-Minister
Whitelaw Reid was nominated at 9.35 p.
M, to be Vice-presdent.
This result was hastened, too, by mem
bers of the Iowa, Delaware and West Vir-
ginia delegations arising simultaneously
to move that the nomination of Whitelaw
Reid be made unanimous and by acclama-
tion. That was the treble motion which
made the journalist and not the ex Speaker
the nominee,
There were three lusty Cheers without

being due to vivid recollections of how

Tammany could make its voice and power
felt.
The roll of states was next ordered called
for presentation of committee to notify
the candidates, and there were loud calls
for ex-senator Ingalls, of Kansas.
THANKS AND GOODBYE.
The convention thanked Mckinley for
fairness in presiding; said ''much obliged"
TO the citizens of Minneapolis and Mime
sofa for their kind courtesy, and finally, by
vote appointed Governor Mckinley chair
man OF the Presidential notification COM
mittee.
The delegates had already begun to leave
in droves, and the convention which had
nominated the Friday candidates was,
at 057, adjourned sine die, without further
demonstration.

The life and career of Benjamin IIarri-
son, who has been President Of the United
States since March 4th. 1889. are thoroughly
familiar to the people of this country.
Whitelaw Reid was born in lS36in Nenia
Ohio. His parents were Scotch Prcsby-
teriaps, and, of course, he received rigid
training and discipline in his early youth.
After his school course he served as editor
of a country weekly, correspondent for Il
city daily and finally as war correspondent
for the Cincinnati Enquirer. When the
war closed he tried cotton-planting on an
Alabama plantation. lie made failure
as a farmer. Then he was offered posi-
ton on the New York Tribune and when
Horace Greeley was nominated for Presi-
dent Reid was made editor-in-chief.
For u long time it seemed that the
1iijne would be forced to the wall by its
losses in consequence of Greeley sdefeat and
death, but Reid's able management placed
the great journal on its feet again. His
work as Blaine henchman, his conuec-
tinn with the convention of 'SS, his ap.
pointmcnt as minister to France and his
work in that country are matters of recent
history.

history

MfNYEAPoLIs, June 11.-After the even
ing recess the delegates, at $50, began re-
turning slowly and in struggling groups to
the convention. The impression was
quite generally expressed that Editor
Whitclaw Reid was sure to receive the
nomination for Vice-president.
When 1t became known that the New
York delegation had selected Horace
Grecleys successor as its choice for the
Vice-presidency there was no longer any
doubt as to the outcome for second place
ON the ticket. Then, when Pennsylvania
followed suit, and announced that Reid
was also the choice Of the Keystone state,
assurance was made doubly sure.
That these signs were not erroneous was
made apparent in an official way very soon
after the evening session had been raped
to order. 1t was S53 o'clock when, with
ont single dilatory melton or other cause
of delay, the roll of states was ordered for
the presentation of candidates for the Vice
presidency.
REIp's NAME PRESENTED.
State Senator O'Connor of New York
presented the name of Hon. Whitelaw
Reid, cx-minister to France. II was Il

Horace Greeley's great Republican paper
was presented. MIR. Reeds distinguished
services to his party not only, but to the

were first recited. His good work in
dipiomacy-the securing of q pledge from
France TO resdmit American pork as All
import to that country--was also enlarged
upon and enthusiastically commended.
Then General Horace Porter, also Of New
York, stepped upon the platform and elo-
quently seconded the nomination of Editor
Reid. The name of the eminent journalist
was received by the convention with great
applause, which was renewed as General
Porter concluded his speech. having evi-

THE OTHER REED NAMED.
Mr.. Settle of Tennessee. presented the
name of that equally famous, but totally
different Reed-fhoinai B., the ex-Speaker
of Congress. from Maine. There was great
cheering all over the hall when the popu
lar partisan's name was announced. But
it soon became most apparent that this
convention, having set aside the strongest
Republican who could have antakonisei
President Harrison, was in no mood to
hestow high henors upon an unwilling
lientonaut of that retired antagonist. So,

MISERY IN GERMANY.
Army-Ridden People Too Poor
to Buy Christmas Presents.
BUSINESS At A. sTANDsTiLL.
Socialists Taking Advantage OF the Dis
tress--The Anti-J wish Campaign
Vigorously Pressed.

BERL1S, Dec. 24-There is stagnation in
business here, and wet and sloppy
weather. The week preceding Christmas.
usually characterized by hustle in bust
ness, was about the duIlest within the
memory of the oldess resident. Accord
ing to the shopkeepers holiday sales were
never before SO small. The curse of hard
times prevails. The people Of the middle
classes. who are usually the best of Gus
toners during the festive period. have
bought only cheap trifies, and working
men, with little or no money. are obliged
to do without their small share Of the
Christmas fare. The outlook for an i'm
proyement in any branch of trade is ex-
ceedingly gloomy. Commercial and finan-
cial circles take pessimistic view of the
situation and operators on the bourse
have lost their usual daring and now enter
into speculations with timidity foreign
to their natures. Bourse transactions are
overshadowed by the political CONFUSION
in France and disturbed by the condition
of home affairs arising from the army bill.
The socialist papers have seized upon
the occasion TO comment upon the misery
that is prevailing among the working
classes. Vor,eaerts publishes Christmas
article in which it expatiates upon the
frightfui sufferings of the poor through
out Germany. The paper says that, while
there is plenty of carefully nourlshed
game in the forests and in the domains of
the atistocrats, workinguen are allowed
to die of hunger. Though the article IS
written in the customary style Of socialist
exaggeration. it has large basis OF fact.

Gone Beyond Recall-A Christmas
Eve Incident At Tacoma.

TACOMA, Dec. 24-lSpecial. Ed Hazel
ton (colored) attacked Joe Hagan (colored)
with club tonight to settle dispute for
the affections of a woman. Hagan is %
years old and has a set of large teeth. He
got hold of Hazelton's nose, bit it of and
spit it out in the snow. Hagan then
wrote note to his girl. telling her of his
trouble and saying he mus: leave town.
While trying to deliver the note on Opera
alley he was arrested. Detective Flanni-
gan. believing Barber Jim Eddison was
shielding Hazelton. demanded admission
to his shop. Eddison got abusive. and
Flanagan says he reached for q razor to
slash MIN.
Eddison's friends bailed him out of the
city Jail. and then the officers and .
dozen colored BARRIERS joined in the
search in the snow for Hazelton's nose,
expecting. if found, to sew it on
again. There was plenty of blood
and gore, but the nose could not be found.
Some of the BARRIERS said tom cat had
run away with Hazelton's nose; others
volunteered to have pieces Of flesh cut
from them to graft nose on Hazelton !;
and still others said both negroes were
bad men and q nuisance to the colored
community.

In n St. Louis school Room.


The fact lat the child is q child is en-
tirely forgotten, and the characteristic
feature of the st. Louis schooIs-absoute
lack of sympathy for the child-ensues.
The unkindly spirit of the teacher is
strikingly apparent: the pupils. beng
completely subjugated to her will, are
silent and motionless; the spiritual at
mosphere of the class room is damp and
chilly.
! Ia one regard the treatment of the chill
dren cannot be considered otherwise than
barbarous. During several daily recita-
ton periods, each of which is from twenty
to twenty-five minutes in duration, the
children are obliged to stand upon the
line, perfectly motionless, their bodies
erect, their knees and feet together, the
tips OF their shoes touching the edge
of a board i'll the floor The
slightest movement on the part of the
child attracts the ttention of the teacher.
The recitation is repeatedly inter-
rupted with cries Of Stand straight"
against the wall" and so on. 1
heard one teacher ask little boy, "How
can you learn anything with your knees
and toes out OF order :" The toes appear
TO play more important part than the
reasoning faculties. The teacher never
forgets the toes; every few moments she
casts her ewes toe rrd. ~
That such barbaro:Is procedure should
be tolerated in civil .zed community to-
day is surprising, ANA when we consider
that IL exists in a city which may be
called the home OF the kindergarten It be-
comes truly InarveioJ:s. In spite of the
fact that the kindergarten has been
a part of the public school system Of ST..
LOUIS for some fifteen years. its spirit has
not extended beyond the kindesarten IL
self, the children IN the lowest primary
grade being treated with as little consider
alton as those il the higher grades.

WARRINGTON CRY, Dec. A-"Blaine is
getting along very well, indeed" said DR..
Johnston at o'clock this evening. Ply
sicians regard the condition of the patient
better than he has been at any time for
the past fortnight. His strength is one Of
the most encouraging features and gives
the members of the family ground for re-
newed hope. So much improved is he
that few callers were received at the
house today. Washington City papers
have ceased to publish extra reports Of
Blaine's condition.
Blaine was reported by DR.. Johnston to-
night to have passed the best day he had
had for some time past. DR.. Johnson paid
his usual o'clock visit, and finding
Blaine's condition 50 satisfactory he did
not make his last visit for the day until 10
O'Clock this evening. when he found no
particular change in the patients condi-
ton. At late hour tonight the lights Of
the second floor were dimly burning, and
it was evident that the family had retired
early.
At 3 O'Clock this morning the Blaine
mansion presented every appearance OF
the favorable condition noted last night
having been maintained. Lights are
burning dimly. but remain the same as
at midnight.

New York, Dec. 24.-Archbishop Corri-
gan has given written statement to the
press expressing his pleasure at the return
of Rev. McGlynn to the Catholic church.

ran for mayor, in 1885, The then pastor of ST.
Stephens addressed public meetings in behalf

political speeches. DR.. McGlynn made no fur.

campaign in charge, and he did all that he
could TO secure Henry Georges election. He
was outspoken in his advocacy of George. Iu
December. 1856, Archbishop Corrigan removed
DR.. MeGlynn from the reetorship of St.
Stephens church. On December IS the late
Monsfgnor Preston told reporter that d.. Me-
Glynn had been suspended from performiu g
any OF the functions of priest. Monsignor Pres
ton said that h. had been suspended because he
held doctrines to the ownership of land
which were contrary to the teaching of the
Catholic church, aud also because he disdaiued
TO notice or obey the request OF Archbishop Cor
r!gan 10 cease 10 meddle with politics, as he had
done. Then Dr.. McGlynn was summoned to
Rome. He refused 10 go. Finally on July 10,
1887. Archbishop Corrlgau announced that Dr.
McGlynn had been accommodated ipSo flto
because he had not needed the order to 20
TO Rome. In published letter the Arch
bishop said that the Congregation of the
Propaganda mad peremptoriiy ordered DR..
McGlynn TO proceed 10 Rome within
forty days after the receipt by him of
