Two great dangers menace the
Democratic party, one Is external, the
other internal; the first is the orpan-
lzed machinery OF organized capital
supported by the whole power of gov

->iamong Democrats to make Issues

success unity and harmony. or the
one this char and gayel stand repre-
sentative; it remains for you to supply
the other. In this spirit greet you,
Fellow Democrats, as the advance
guard of the grand army sent forward
TO blaze the pathway to victory. How
momentous is your responsibility l
need not tell you. you work in wis
dom the millions toillng in shop and

attests that its heart and its conscience
are with us in our war with the repre-
sentativts Of greed. The best thought
of our party is a aplatform that chal.
lenges appreciation and invites the
support VI the people. We can sue
coed; We must do more; we must de-
serve succ, ss. Above the wreck, if
need be, OF selfish combinations we
must rear temple to the plain people
ana build u shrine so broad that every
lover OF his kind may kneel. The bur-
den must be lifted from the back of

demand that whoever bears our ban

conflict and the din of action, that
every Democrat of the Union may fol.

the platform, the chairman announced
that the next order of business was the
nomination of candidates for president
of the United States. The roll call Of
States was commenced and when Ar.
kansas was reached she yielded her
place to New Jersey and Ex-Governor
Abbott of that State came forward, ac-
companied by enthusiastic cheers from
the Cleveland wing of the convention,
1t being understood thatShe was to
nominate the Ex-President. When or

ceiving more than mild applause until
he reached that portion Of his address
where he said: "If thsre was any
doubt existing In my mind of the result
of this national contest / would not
urge on behalf of my State the views
OF its Democracy in favor of Grover
Cleveland.
The mention of the name of the sage
of Buzzard's Bay was the signal for q
thunder of cheers. Men and women
who thronged the great galleries waved
fans, umbrellas and banners. Many of
the great State delegates rose, and
standing on their chairs, joined in the
great volume of enthusiasm which
seemed to possess the multitude. The
Alabama delegation holsted Cleve.

la, which was the signal for applause.
About this time Michigan's banner
with Cleyeiands portrait was carried
down to the New FORK delegation and
was angrily pushed away by the dele
gates. This little incident created much
confusion. In the meantime the cheer
ing for Cleveland continued.
at about ten O'Clock a heavy thun-
der and rain storm passed over the city
and the building in which the Conyen-
tion was assembled leaked very badly,
so when Dewitt, of New York, took
the stand to present Hills name, the
convention had to excuse him for a
few minutes as the gentlemen could
not stand on the platform without get

WHAT MAKES a NATION

Sir Theodore Martin delivered an address
on National Sentiment" on Monday, in the
Royal Institution, Liverpool, at the inaugural
meeting Of the eighth2session Of the Liverpool
Welsh National Society. Referring to the
mischievous demand of Ireland for the Irish.
Scotland for the Scotch, and Wales for the
Welsh, he asked, What makes a Nationality?
Is It not mainly the necessity for cohesion
against a common enemy? Just as the va:i-
Gus tribes Of which the people calling them
selves IRISH. Scotch and Welsh were compos.
ed had made themselves nations on q small
scale, SO did they, and for essentially the same
reasons, become consolidated into the great
nation, which, by the action Of that happy
union, has grown to be the greatest and most
influential the world has ever known. Our
common safety demands that we should re
slst in its inception any attompt at such piece

v%eIopments of our history have banded toge-

DISASTERS AT SEA.
Exciting Scene at Blackpool,
From the Times IA Oc1.)

A scene of great excitement was witnessed
at Blackpool on Sunday morning, when in the
midst of a furious gale, a three, masted vessel
was observed drifting towards the shore. The
vessel struck the north pier with a CHANGING
movement, and for the moment ~rebounded
with the shock. The deck of the vessel was
about on a levelIwith the pier, and immedi-
aIely she struck it there ensued q scene Of in
tense excitement. The crew were clustered
at the stern, and one by one they jumped or
were pulled from the vessel on the pier by the
lifeboatmen and others. The ship kept on
crashing into the pier and icing washed away
again. just when the last man was hanging
suspended over the side, crash zane the barque
again, and a good portion of the pier, within
a few feet Of where the rescuers had been
standing, was carried away. By this time,
however, the crew of ten men and a bog had
been pulled on to The pier, and there was a
general rush, for the vessel drifted further in
shore and broke down nearly the whole
of the sloped entrance to the pier. The four
shops built on the south side of the slope
were all carried completely away. The vessel
drove broadside against the hulkipg, within
20 yards Of the promenade itself, and as it's

The following is the latest communication
from the Governor Of the Bahamas to the
Director Of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew !:
notice you give good deal of attention
TO our fibre cultivation. 1t is really a most
promising enterprise and | believe will fnan-
clally realise all reasonable expectations.
1t will not become what is called "a. boom,

movement, but as far as the future of the in
dustry can be inferred from experience and
existing facts, the calculations of it's progress
and value may be made with an unusual de-
gree OF certainty, SO stable are its general cor
ditions.
The growth of the plant is unfailing, it be-
ing proof against drought and every known
adverse influence. 1t natures fully in four

Great alarm is felt IN France as to the 90.
sition Of the French expcditiouary force in
Dahomey. There is no positive evidence to
Justify il, and i may DO utterly unfounded.
Uut il appears to arise III this way Colonel
DoddS, in command, has penetrated to within
ten miles Of Abomey, the capital, defeating
every force hitherto sent against him. Close
by the capital, however, Behanzin and the
last forces Of Dahomey, including the Kings
guard, will make thor final stand. and there
is reason for a doubt whether the supplies
Of ammunition for the invading force
are sufficient. Ii they are not, and the
Negro porters have treacherously warn
ed the King, Colonel Dodds and his
force may be annihilaled; and q rumour
that he has been has already reached the
coast. We should deeply regret to learn that
It was true, and rather hope to hear that
Colonel Dodds has made his final march as
a march into space, knowing that, if he
carries the City If the Tombs' the sacred
suburb, he can re-establish communications.
The excitement in France proceeds from a
knowledge that defeat would be fatal to the
Government, the electors reasoning that it
would involve an expedition with regular
troops,-that is, the despatch of twelve thou
sand oonscripts, to die of dysentery and fever.
French people hate these African expedi-
tons.

pier entrance,i it continued to dislodge the sup
porting columns and twist the Orders. Every
wave broke over the vessel, landthe rigging was
quickly washed away. One of the masts fell on
to the promenade, and another on to the pier,
smashing the entrance gates, and the vessel
became a total wreck. The wrecked vessel
was the Sirene, 667 tons, owned by the firm
Of Olsen and Tjomi, Norway. The captain
and crew are all Norwegians. The damage to
the pier is estimated at &5,0 600.

On Tuesday a telegram was received by the
z. and 0. Company, from their agent in
Hong Kong giving particulars rs to the loss
of the steamer Bokhara.' The vessel left
Shanghai for Hong Kong ON the 9th inst. and
on the 10th encountered a furious gale. The
sea ran mountains high, repeatedly sweeping
the decks, and finally extinguishing the en-

three European officers, and two Of the Euro

l25 persons were drowned. A pathetic incident
Of the wreck is the loss of the Hong-Kong
cricket eleven, who were returning from
Shanghai by the Bokhara,' after a series of
matches in the latter port. In spite of the
fact that Shanghai and Hong-Kong are eight
hundred miles apart, there is great rivalry
between the two stations in the mstter of
cricket, and this was by no means the only
occasion on which a Hong-Kong team had
visited Shanghai We shall not know the
complete story of the wreck for another FIVE
