Delay il the Programme.

It is by no means certain that the Mime
apolis convention will reach ballot to-day
1t is understood that the committee on
credentials and the committee on platform
are controlled by the opponents of Gen.
Harrison. If that is the case they will not
permit ballot to be taken probably until
they obtain every advantage that is to be
gained by delay.
The impression seems to be that Mr.. Blaine
will not accept the nomination il he has TO
make a fight for it. He could not consist
emily do so. He announced in February
that he was not a candidate and that his
name would not go before the convention.
IvHe took the trouble to say that he made the
announcement in due season. If he accepts
the nomination, therefore, it must be made
to appear that it is the overwhelming desire
| of the Republican party that he shall do so.
| But it is not yet clear that he has ma
| jority OF the delegates. His friends at
| Minneapolis say he has, but their per-
sistency in claiming he has raises a doubt
| II they talked less there would be more con-
| ldence in what they say.
The fact that there is a good deal Of talk
about Reed, Mckinley and Sherman indi-
Gates that among the delegates there is
donbt that either Gen. Harrison or Mr..
Blaine will get the nomination. If it could
be demonstrated that any candidate has
majority there would be no expressions of
doubt.
The fact is, there are from $50 to 200 DEL
egates who have not yet announced their
preference. Nobody knows how many of
them favor Mr.. Blaine or how many Gen.
Harrison. Extraordinary efforts are being
made to get them to commit themselves to
one or the other.
If Mr.. Blaine can get assurances that he
will have a good majority on the first ballot
it is about certain that he will let the con-
vention do as 1t pleases about nominating
him, hut If it is doubtful whether he will
have majority his friends will not permit
any votes to be cast for him. His name
will not be mentioned in the convention I'M
less some one Of his friends announces for
him that he will not accept nomination
under any circumstances.
But before the first ballot is taken time
will be given for doing a good deal of work
for Mr.. Blaine. II his friends failed to be-
come satisfied about bis prospects yesterday
they will be given more time, and the bal
lotting will be delayed until tomorrow.
There is no clearer understanding to-day Of
what the outcome Of the convention will be
than there was last Monday.

The third party democracy of South
Carolina made an error in electing delegates
to the Chicago convention which will cost
the Ocala platform supporters one vote in
the convention. Delegate at Large Theodore
d. Jervey, Jr., of Charleston, will vote for
Cleveland and sound democratic principles.
In the last municipal campaign in Charles
ton Mr.. Jervey was the chairman of the
reform democracy" as against the regular
democracy" The Tillmau state administra-
ton seemed to favor tho reform" party
slightly, and it elected its candidate for
mayor; not, however. by reason of any. help
given by the Tillmanites. The reformers,
as a matter Of fact, were fur ther away from
the Tillmanites in politics than the regulars;
but the Tillmanites evidently did not see
it that way. They looked upon Mr.. Jervey
as one Of their party, and when the time
came he was elected a delegate at large to
Chicago without doubt entering the minds
of the bosses that he would not feel himself
bound TO vote in opposition to Cleve-
land, although be had stated en-
phatically before the election that he would
not so bind himself As it stands now, the
bosses are bewailing the loss OF vote and
the regulars" Of the state are clapping their
hands for Jervey, for he declares he will not
resign to please anybody.

Hill and tho New York Delegates.

Hill and tho New York Delegates.
AS far as the public knows the only pur-
pose Of the meeting of the New York dele
gates to the democratic national convention
last Monday was to adopt a resolu-
ton to stand by Senator Hill as long as be
is a candidate. The delegates met at the
Hoffman house, in New York city and were
in session long enough to adopt a good
many resolutions. IL is fair to assume, there
FORE that many things other than the resolu-
tion that was given to the public were dis
cussed.
1t is asserted that the resolution was pre-
! pared by Senator Hill. Was he afraid that
the delegates were going to desert himl II
not, why did he think it necessary to exact
pledge from themg He must have become
alarmed by the reports that Tammany was
! about to throw him over and transfer its
| influence to a more promising candidate.
There does not seem to be any reason why
Senator Hill should be so anxious to have
the New York delegation bind itself to vote
for him as long as be remains candidate.
There Is nothing to Indicate that he has
chance for getting the nomination. 1t is
doubtful if he will have 200 delegates when
the convention assemblies, and there is no
probability that his following will increase
after the balloting begins. A fight has
been made for him in about every state
convention that has yet been held, and in
nearly all Of them the decision has been
against him. That being the case the dele
gates who are against him on the first bal
lot will be 30 to the end Of the convention
1t may be that his purpose is to make
fight for the second place. In that case
he hopes to prevent the nomination of Mr..
Cleveland and bring about the nomination
of western man. Ha western man should
be nominated for President he would stand
pretty good chance for the nomination
for VIce-President, because it would be
regarded as necessary to give the second
place to an eastern man; and also because
he would control virtually the combination
that nominated the western man.
But, unless the situation becomes greatly
changed before the meeting Of the conven-
ton there will be no material out of which
a combination to beat Mr.. Cleveland can be
made. He has already more than ma
jority Of the delegates, and it looks very
AluCA % ~ no WOulu hhNC VI
them when all the state conventions have
acted.
No doubt there will be many shrewd
politicians at Chicago among those op-
posed TO Mr.. Cleveland, and they will do
some wonderfully effective work if
there is an opportunity. But it
doesn't seem probable now that
there will be an opportunity. The Cleve
land sentiment will be 30 overwhelming
that it will be about impossible to get dele
gates to act in opposition to it. The thing
that is most likely to occur is that delegates
inclined to oppose him will be carried along
by the popular current and will help to
make his nomination almost, if not quite,
unanimous. Still, Senator Hill and his
Tammany friends should not be moderated.
They are very capable politicians and are
sure to make the most Of every chance that
presents itself to gain an advantage.

DIVIDING THE RELIEF FUND.
a BIG BANK FAILURE.
The New Oriental of London Goes Up

4no Now oriental or London Goes Up
for S35,ooo,ooo
LONDON. June 8.-The New Oriental
Bank applied TO the Bank of England TO-
day for assistance TO tide it over its troubles.
but was refused. 1t accordingly suspended.
1t has branches at several points in India,
China, Australia, Japan. New York and
San Francisco. A circular issued by the
directors gives the liabilities as 97, $50, 900
and the uncalled capital as 1000, 600, The
directors recommend depositors to with
draw only 20 per cent. of their deposits in or
der to allow of the successful reconstruction
Of the bank. The suspension is largely due
to the depreciation in the value of silver. to
the consequent increasing distrust in Great
Britain of investments in silver countries.
and to the withdrawal Of capital 10 the
east, coupled with the unprecedented con-
diCion Of trade in China, Japan and Aus.
tralia, and losses incurred through the
hurricane at Mauritius The report con-
cludes with statement that steps will be
taken to protect the assets of the bank. The
immediate liabilities are believed to amount
to 95 $780, 900. The failure has caused a
great sensation.

Public ONCE as Private Property


Ex-senator Thomas c. Platt, OF New
York, Is the author OF political epigram.
In an interview published several days ago,
which he gave for the purpose of replying
to President Harrison'G now famous "in-
dividual disappointments" interview, Mr..
Platt said: 1T is astonishing how quick
and easy is the process by which man
comes to look upon the office he holds as
private property"
That was very cleverly said. 1t was
aimed at President Harrison, and struck
him fairly between the eyes. Then it re-
bounded and, like boomerang. smote the
man who had hurled it "in the neck, " as the
vernacular has it.
Ex-senator Platt is prominent because
of the very fact that he insists, and
strenuously, too, that a score OF offices be-
long exclusively to himself and one or two
others who control the republican machine
in New York state. Mr.. Platt held an office
once, a number of years ago, and he has
never been able to think otherwise than that
he holds it yet, and that it has drawn com-
pound interest in other offices ever since he
first acquired It, 1t is. indeed, astonishing
how quick and easy is the process by which
some men come to look upon public offices,
whether they hold them or not, as their
private property.

TITUSVILLE DIS ASTAR.
More Bodies Coming to Light as the
Debris is Cleared AWAY

OoOElS 10 Sl6dT6O away
TITUsvILLE, PA. June SIT is raining
hard again, but it Is hoped that this will
not add any additional trouble to this
afflicted city. AS the debris is cleared
away, more dead bodies are found, and it
may be several weeks before the entire story
of the disaster will be known as far as the
lost Of life is concerned. Eyewitnesses who
were on top Of iron tanks and houses report
that they saw scores of bodies floating down
with the rush of the waters, aud it
| Is not known yet where they
have been lodged. Among the 1000 tele-
grams which have been received here the
past three days there are about $50 which
| the telegraph companies have been unable
to deliver, for the reason that the persons
addressed cannot be found. About fifty
cableRrams have already been received
from Europe making inq ulries about friends
here. Mayor Washburne mas wired our
mayor that Chicago will do its part in this
hour OF our calamity, AZ Titusville did in
1871, when Chicago called on the world for
assistance. The mighty rush of waters has
actually changed the channel of the creek so
that one Of the retineries, which was stu
ated 200 feet from the bank OF the creek, is
now in the confer Of a new channel. A
number Of dwelling houses which were high
on the bank fifty feet from the creek, are
now on the edge of the creek, because the
fifty feet in front of them has been washed
away completely. Scores of men and teams
are kept busy to clear a passage through
the streets, which are filed with pieces
of houses, and ali kinds OF
iron and timbers. Military and police keep
perfect order. Saloons are kept closed and
there has been neither plumber nor rioting.
Notwithstanding the calamity the people
are full Of hope and determination to rise
up and prevent as for possible another rep
clifton.
DIVIDING THE RELIEF FUND.
OIL CRY, Pa, June Sat conference
to-day of the Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Oil
City and Titusville relief committee it was
decided to give Titusville 65 per cent. and
Oil City 81 per cent. of the relief fund.
Rudolph Blankenburg of Philadelphia ex-
pressed great confidence in the local COM
mittees and said the loss had not been exag-
gerated. He thought the people of the
country should be requested to make up a
fund of $500 900 to relieve the sufferers.
An arbitration committee of five citizens
of Titusville and Oil City was appointed to
settle the question of distribution. The
Philadelphia relief commissioner left for
home this afternoon.

The Prohibition Movement.

The Prohibition party has lost a good
deal Of Its vitality. In none OF the states is
it as strong as it was few years ago. The
party held state conventions in Virginia
and In this state on Tuesday. The Virginia
convention was held in Lynchburg and was
composed OF sixty-Jhree delegates, The
Georgia nvention was held in Atlanta,
and Of the sixty delegate presente more than
half probably were from Fulton county.
The prohibition national convention meets
in Cincinnati June 30. 1t will go through
the farce of nominating a presidential
ticket, aud in some of the states prohibi-
ton campaign will be conducted. 1t is GER
tain however, that the ticket will not poll
as many votes as the prohibition ticket of
four years ago
The truth is that prohibitionists are be-
ginning to understand that prohibition cam
not be forced upon the country by means Of
political party. Only a small percentage
OF the voters In any state who believe in
prohibition vote the prohibition ticket.
They do not do so because they know they
would be throwing away their votes.
The most Of the prohibition leaders are
not practical men, They know little or
nothing about political affairs, and the peo-
pie know they would make a great mistake
if they should put them into official posi-
tons requiring executive or administrative
ability.
However hard the friends OF temperance
may try they will never be able to build up
great political party upon the temperance
issue. They may get into the Prohibition
| party a great many well meaning people
and any number of cranks, but they will
never get hold of the great body Of the
voters The Prohibition party has passed
the high water mark in its history. 1t has
! polled more votes in past elections than it
will poll in any future election. Indeed, il
is doubtful If there will be a national Pro-
hibition party after the next national CON
| test
! But the cause OF temperance will not de-
| cline. That cause will be taken out of poll
tics and dealt with in way that will give
! greater assurance Of its success Local op-
| ton will be given greater prominence and
/ the efforts to induce towns and counties tc
| adopt prohibition will be more vigorous
| BY keeping the temperance question out OF
| politics and striving to make the people APP
| preciate the benefits of temperance it would
not take a great while to get very nearly all
the towns and counties in the country to
adopt prohibition. That this is true is
proved by the success which has attended
the efforts of the local option workers in
this state. Local option can do more for
the temperance cause than a political party.

one Of harmony and directness of purpose,
in striking contrast with the convention

DROWNED OUT IN CAMP.
GRIFFIN VISITED BY A REGULAR
DELUGE.

Heavy Damage to the Roads. En-
City - The Soldier Boys Learning
That Life in Camp is Full of Hard
| Work.
GRIFFIN, GA. June S-The second day
In camp of the Second Georgia regiment
has made the boys think that life in camp
is no picnic The discipline is very rigidly
enforced. At o'clock the sick call is made,
which SO far has not been responded to, but
the O'Clock call, which ia for breakfast,
has found every soldier eager TO answer to
his name. The boys are all enjoying good
health. Lieut. Col. Huguenin said this
afternoon that this was quite different to
his experience at Chicamsuga last year, as
| there was not day they did not have some
one in the hospital.
Only regular routine work was done in
the camp to-day, but the improvement of
the troops In drilling is very marked and
often calls for words of praise from the off,
cers. Capt. Edward Fields was heard to
say this morning that he never saw such
rapid improvement.
The only official order to-day outside of
the regular daily orders naming the officers
of the day was from Lieut.. Col. Huguenin
as follows:
Acting battalion adjutants will make the fol-
lowing detail for tomorrow for guard duty:
From the First battalion, first sergeant and first
corporal and eleven privates; second battalion,
two corporals and ton privaJes: third battalion,
one sergeant and ten privates. The guard de-
tall must be brought on in double rank, and be
brought on promptly. Let Company G take the
right. and other details form as they come,
By order LIEUT.. Col, HUGUENIN.
JOHN P. Ross,
First Lieut.. Second Regiment Georgia VoIun-
unteers Adjutant.
A HEAVY RAINFALL.
The heaviest rain ever witnessed In Griffin
fell this evening from 3:42 to 5 O'Clock
Great damage has beea done the streets,
which City Engineer Holman estimates at
81, 500 TO S3,000 Sewers were burst. en-
bankments and bridges washed away, besides
great deal of other damage. The soldiers
in the valley Jared badly. Many OF them
say they had to stand on their floors with
their mattresses and bedding on their
shoulders to keep them from washing
away. AS it was they lost many little ar
ticles. The street railway was damaged
to the extent of $500, part OF the damage
arising from the washing away of the lake
dam at Lyndon park. The embankment
at the junction Of the Georgia Midland and
Central railroads backed a pond for 800
yards, which was as much as twelve feet
deep In places. 1t was here the city suffered
greatest, the sewer bursting and washing
out considerable portion of the embauk-
ment.
WILSON'S FLIGHT.
Wilson, the man who fieeced the Key

pleaded guilty. They were fined the nominal
sum of $50 and costs, which all promptly
paid. The fines are considered very light.
