He Receives the Nomination for Vice
President.
CHICAGO, June A.-Hon. Adlai E. Steven
son, of Illinois, was nominated for vice
president of the United States by the ma.
tional Democratic convention at 1860 p. m.
Thursday. His principal opponent was
Governor Isaac p Gray, of Indiana, but at
the end Of the first ballot Mr.. Stevenson
was so strongly in the lead that many states
that had voted for other candidates threw
their support to the Illinois man. At this
point the rules were suspended and Mr.
Stevenson nominated unanimously by ac-
clamation. The national committee was
authorized to select the time and place fol-
holding the next national convention. At
sos p. m. an electric light fell into the mid
die of the hall, nearly striking Governor
Flower, of New York, and almost creating
panic. Men lost their heads and women
tainted. Happily, however, stampede
was averted, and when the audience learned
that no one had been injured it quieted
down. Chairman Brice, of the national
committee, thanked Chicago for her efforts
in entertaining the delegates, and at 5:1e
p m. the convention adjourned sine die.

BAD FINANCE.

The management-or, rather, the lack of
management-of the financial affairs of
the city since the money secured by the
sale of the bonds was available has excited
much comment. On May 7, more than
three weeks ago, the net amount of S724,-
1902 was placed to the credit of the city,
and it has since paid interest on that sum
at the rate of per cent. per year, amount
ing to a little more than s., 900 per month
or 800 per day.
The interest on this money since it was
received has amounted to considerably
more than S2,00o. Yet the entire sum has
been lying idle. The ordinance authoriz-
ing the payment Of a certain amount from
the general condemnation fund is still
pending in the council, and this is the
first step that has been taken toward the
utilization of any part of the money.
II the city were simply paying FIVE per
cent on & large amount of idle money, it
would be bad enough. But this is not all.
Almost the entire amount is covered by
outstanding scrip. condemnation awards
and judgments. On all this interest is be-
Ing paid At the rate of ten per cent. per an
mum. so that the city has for the past three
weeks been paying interest on consider
ably more than half million dollars at
the rate of fifteen per cent. year.
OF course. it will be said by those in
authority that il requires time to distribute
this money among the various funds and
70 pass the ordinances necessary before
making use of it. Any excuse is better
than none, but this is poor one. All of
this preliminary work could have been
ceived and the city began to pay interest
upon it. It was not necessary to wait
until the funds were actually available be-
fore determining just what should be done
with them.
The curious finsnoial operations Of the
city do not end here, however. There are
now outstanding warrants against the
general expense fund amounting TO more
than eighty thousand dollars. Instead of
taking these up from the proceeds Of the
bonds available for the general fund it is
proposed TO have them remain oU:stand-
ing. to deposit the entire amount derived
fron, the sale of the bonds in the four
favored banks, which subscribed one thou
sand dollars each 10 the Democratic fund
in the recent municipal campaign, and 70
nav general expenses in cash out of this
fund. 1t is as If business man who was
paying interest at the rate Of ten per cent.

RE FORM.

The city government is now in the
hands of reformers. 1t is not strange there
fore, that those who shouted and labored
and grew enthusiastic for reform should
seek and receive their reward.
Among the most energetic and enthu-
siastic workers for reform and economy in
the late campaign was Mr.. Salvador Eli
colt. When the smoke of battle cleared
away and the reformers had fairly entered
upon the work of economy, it became
necessary 20 find an office for M. Ellicott.
Right here there was hitch in the pro-
ceedIngs. Either there was no office
which suited Mr. Ellicott. or Mr.. Ellicott
suited no Office. So the Office Of license
inspector was created and Mr.. Ellicott was
appointed TO fill il. The city government
had always managed very well without q
license inspector and without Mr.. Ellicott,
but under the reform system both seemed

HARRISON AND BLAINE.

In another column will be found a COM
munication from Mr.. William w. III. Mac
curdy. of Port Townsend, in which the
relative strength of President Harrison
and Mr.. Blaine as presidential candidates
is discussed. Mr.. MacCurdy sets forth
ably and vigorously the arguments in favor
Of the presidents denomination. and de-
tends General Harrison against many
criticisms. winch, so far as the PosT-ISTEL-
by any Republican.
No Republican can deny, or should
wish to deny, that President Harrison's
administration has been clean, able and
successful. Nobody will deny that the
president is man Of a very high order of
ability or that he is patriotic in his inn
pulses and purposes. Nobody will deny
that during the campaign of 1888 he con-
Quoted himself with admirable wisdom
and prudence. In short, no Republican
and no intelligent Democrat will deny
that General Harrison possesses many
qualifications for the high position which
he holds.
In spite Of all this, however, the fact re-
mains that General Harrison is not nearly
so strong before the people as is Mr..
Blaine. 1t is needless to enter into dis
cussion of why this is true. 1t would,
however, be folly for US to close our eyes
to the fact. Mr.. MacCurdy cannot but
be aware of it if he is in any degree judge
of public opinion. Mr.. Blaine is stronger
before the people today than he has ever
been in the past-incomparably stronger
than he was in 1884. General Harrison is
not nearly so strong as he was in 1888. It
may be that this loss of popularity on the
part of the latter is undeserved, that it is
inseparable from an occupancy of the
presidency, but it must not be overlooked
or disregarded.
In selecting candidate for the presi-
dency, the chances of success must be
taken into consideration. A second term
as president is not given as reward for
successful first term. We elect our presi-
dents for four years, not for eight. A can
didate for a second term labors under
many and serious disadvantages. This IL
shown by the fact that while every presl.
dent. with q single exception, has longed
and labored for second term. it has been
sixty years since any president, excepting
only Lincoln and Grant. has been re-
elected. This fact alone should cause
President Harrison's friends to pause
and consider, for surely mono of them
would venture to place him in the same
class with Lincoln and Grant
The Republican party must not be de-
fcated in the approaching campaign. It's
chances of success are greater with Mr..
Blaine as q candidate than with General
Harrison. If Mr.. MacCurdy doubts this,
he should ask the first Republican he
meets and, If he is not a federal office
holder. he will agree with the Posi-
lNTELLIGKNCER.

To THE EDITOR. Str am not a Constant

do so more frequently in the future 1 read your

pleased with your editorial entitled "The Puri-
tan Sunday" which goes to the heart of the

valuable information it contains In regard to

write you-with your editorial entitled "Mr.
Blaine and the Presidency" / take issue, be-
ieving. as do, that your statements therein
contained are not entirely true, and your de-
auctions and differences unwarranted by the
true condition OF affairs, far they relate to
the two persons named as presidential candi-
dates.
1t the first place, let me say that while I am
prepared to credit Mr.. Blaine with q career of
remarkable brilliancy and success since he first
entered the political arena, and to conce lie that
he has been grand figure in American politics
for many years past, do not quite agree with
you-and / think my disagreement justified by
the facts-when you allege that the policy of
the great party OF which Mr.. Blaine has been
and is so conspicuous and honored member
has been shaped by him, or that che has mold
ed that party "to conform with his own ideas"
its policy shaped Or dictated by any one man.
That party is not a creation but growth, a de-
velopment, an evolution, and while Mr. Blaine
has assisted in its councils and in the conduct
of its campaigns. and, in common with other
able and patriotic men contributed to its tri-
umphs, his wisdom and experience have been
no more potent nor conspicuous in this regard
than those of large number OF his contempo-
raries and fellow workers.
In what particular Mr. Blaine has shaped the
policy OF his party or has moulded that party to
conform with his own ideas l think 1t would be
difficult for you to particularize. Our foreign
policy has little or no evidence OF his shaping
hand. In the financial and industrial conduct
OF the government Mr.. Blaine has had less in.
fuence than several other men Of less popular
ity but at least equal ability and larger expert.
