that Beck had alluded to him, and de-

CLEVELAND MEN AMAZED.
Sure OF Only Nine OF the srassa chuscsts
Delegates TO Chicago.

delegates TO Chicago.
BosToS, April 1.-two more distrie
Democratic Conventions were held to- day
and Mr.. Cleveland Jared no better thar
yesterday. In the First district Conven.
ton in Springfield there was square fight
between Hill and Cleveland factions, and
| the result was draw.
DR.. A. c. Dean OF Greenfield, who was
elected delegate by acclamation, is a
Cleveland man. J. j. Curran of Holyoke
the other delegate, would not commit. thin
selself and both sides claim him. AS he
was nominated by man who eulogized
Senator Hill, and as he was opposed
strongly by the Cleveland men, it is safe
to class him as an Cleveland delegate
An attempt was made TO saddle Cleveland
resolutions upon the Convention, but il
was failure until after the Hill delegates
had left the hall under the supposition
that q motion to adjourn had been car
ried. The Hill men were in the majority
the vote standing Sc to &c in the selection
Of the second delegate.
Cleveland received another setback in
The Third district Convention in Worces-
fer. Senator John r. Thayer WAS chosen
as an avowed Russell Delegate lry vote
Of Is to 2S. The other delegate, John
O'Gara of Spencer, is also Russell dele
gate.
Only one Convention is left for Clevc-
land forces to fight over, and they arc
working like beavers to secure the two
delegate from that district, the thir-
tcenth.
The result Of the struggle has been a
big surprise TO the Cleveland machine,
Instead of solid delegation from Massa-
one-half, and some of the delegates con-
coded to him are known TO be only luke
warm supporters.
o. the four delegates at large, the Hon
John E. Russell is the only out-and-out
Cleveland man. Mr.. Houghton is called
Cleveland delegate and will vote for him
but his preferences would lead him to
vote for some other candidate.
Gen. Collins is only lukewarm sup
porter and Gen. Corcoran has not yet re-
covered from tle effects of the knitting
which he received at the hands of the Mug
wumps at the last election. truce has
been patched up, but the soreness re-
mains.
Of the twenty delegates already chosen
only nine are ont .and-nut Cleveland sup
porters. Four others are counted hy the
Cleveland leaders, but they are lukewnrm
disciples of the Claimant. Eleven OF
the delegates will 60 to Chicago strongly
opposing Cleveland's nomination.. Seven
of The anti-Cleveland men are not pledged
to any candidate, butthey will fight Clcve-
land. Two of the anti Cleveland men will
support Senator Hill to the end Two
Others vii! give Coy. Russell their sup

Consoling.

COnsOling.
The viscomte de Segur once had oc-
casion to reflect on the failure Of an at
tempt at consolation made without tact.
Many persons have made the same OBJ.
servation, but the viscomte's experience
was, in its way, memorable.
He prided himself on his reputation
for wit, and was indignant when he
heard that M. de Vaines had spoken
slightingly Of it. Upon meeting him
the viscomte said: IN. de Vaines, l hear
that in a house where other persons
were so kind as to consider. me witty,
you declared that was not 90. Is this
true?"
"Oh, not q word Of truth in it, my
dear De Segur," was the cheerful reply.
mo, indeed, have never been any
where where you were considered
witty."-Youth's Companion.
