he Preferred the Last Ditch.

Neither Senator Hill nor his managers
showed any political sagacity at the Chicago
convention. They must have seen long be-
fore ballot was reached that Mr.. Cleve-
land would be nominated. Why, then, did
Senator Hill permit bis name to be pre-
sented to the conventiona If the nominal
ton Of Mr.. Cleveland had been prevented
Senator Hill would not have been the
choice Of the convention. At no time did
he stand chance OF getting the nomina-
ton. He received 115 votes and that was
his whole strength. All the talk of his
friends to the effect that he had
300 or more votes had no foundation. The
truth is he was never really in the contest
The only delegates who favored him had
been obtained by the hardest kind of work
of politicians who expected 20 be rewarded
if he was successful. This was pretty we'll
understood by the great body of the
democracy, and hence be was not q favor
lite.
The mistake he made was in thinking il
he got the New York delegation by any
means whatever it would be an easy matter
to get sufficient number of delegates
the nomination. If he had
got the New York delegation without re-
sorting to questionable methods it is prooa-
BILE that he would have had a strong support
at Chicago, but the snap. convention bust
ness ruined his prospects. The party refused
to nominate man who took what seemed
to be an unfair advantage to get the nomi-
nation.
But why did Senator Hill continue to seek
the nomination when he saw there was no
prospect Of his getting IL! Did he hope to
the very last that by remaining candidate
he could defeat the nomination OF Mr..
Clevelandi He must have had some
such hope or else he would have said that
he bowed to the will of the majority, and
would have helped to heal the differences
of the New York factions by announcing
his purpose to give the ticket an enthusi-
astic support. If he had taken thnt course
he would have greatly increased his popu-
larity and proved he was thoroughly sin
cere when he said II am a democrat"

Saved by an Undecided Man.

Twas one of the party OF eight once held up
by lone highwayman." said P. ]. Marlin, a
bridge contractor to St. Louis Globe Democrat
writer. 81 was travelling by stage in Montana
The party consisted OF two army officers,
Spectator, four miners, aoy myself. The stage
had been held up pretty frequently, 80 we all
went fixed for trouble. Every man had a brace
Of six-shooters and we were just aching to have
the road agents tackle US, at least we talked
that way, We commented very unfavorably
upon men who yielded to the demands of the
freebooters without a struggle, and promised
them a warm time If they tackled us. One man
had little to say. He was the speculator, a red
headed man with squint. Finally one Of the
army officers asked him what he would do if
the robbers attacked US, and he replied that he
did not know.
"As we swung around sharp bend in the
road the stage pulled up with a jerk the driver
threw up his hands, and almost before we knew
II we were looking into the barrel Of a Winches-
ter. Well. sir that lone robber marched us out
and stood us up in line with our hands above
our head. Then he threw each man a small
sack and made him pull it over his head We
all complied but one. The red-headed specu-
lator pulled his gun and shot the bandit so full
OF holes that he died before he could touch the
ground. Then he climbed up, knocked the
driver off the box, and drove the stage into the
next STATEN with the most Crestfallen lot of
braggarts aboard that ever wore a gun and
neglected to nae it -

Mr.. whitney's Management.

Mr.. William C. Whitney's management
of Mr.. Cleveland's interests at Chicago has
been pronounced by all observers as admir-
able He undoubtedly had very capable
assistants, but he was the recognized leader
of the Cleveland forces. He planned the
battle and was in command from the be-
ginning to the end Of it.
In one respect he had a very easy task.
He did not have to work up sentiment in
behalf of Mr.. Cleveland. There was
plenty OF that. Neither did he
have to enter into a contest
for votes. At no time was he in doubt
about having majority, and for the greater
part Of the time before balloting began he
felt almost if not entirely. certain Of two>
thirds of the delegates on the first ballot.
The two things that gave him the most
trouble were the contesting delegation from
New York and the constant efforts that
were made to break the Cleveland column
in favor of dark horse.
He succeeded in settling the affair of the
contesting delegation from New York in
such a way that Tammany is satisfied. He
could not have accomplished what he did in
that direction had he not been on most ex-
celIent terms OF friendship with the Tam
many leaders. He wanted to avoid
faction fight in the presi-
Dental campaign between the
Tammanyites and the democrats who were
represented in the anti~snap convention, and
he succeeded so we'll that there will be few,
il any, signs of discomfort from the Tam.
many tiger. The whole party in New York
will work harmoniously for the success Of
the ticket.
The efforts 70 break the Cleveland col
umn were frequent and strong. All sorts
Of arguments were used, but Mr.. Whitney
was careful to have the effect of these ar
gumehts neutralized by arguments in behalf
Of Mr.. Cleveland.
While no machine politicians wereswork-
ing for Mr.. Cleveland's nomination there
was very thorough organization IN his
behalf. Indeed, it is doubtful il any pre-
vious candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation of any political party had the sup
port of so complete an organization, and this
organization was almost wholly without
assistance from those who regard themselves
as practical politicians.
Mr. Whitney will receive great praise

The next democratic national convention
will probably be held in a city that invites
it. Chicago did not ask for the
convention, but when it went to her any
way sue prepared to take in" the guest.
And she did it in her usual happy style.
The convention was housed in big, mis-.
happen, sitting box that held the foul at
mosphere and let in the rain; the delegates
were charged outrageous prices for every
thing they wished, and were left to shift for
themselves as best they could. Minneapo-
lis, much smaller city, invited the repub-
lican convention TO meet there, and took
care of the crowd in attendance in an &C.
ceptable manner.

A Superb Service.

The bulletin service Of the Western Union
Telegraph Company during both the Min
neapolis and the Chicago conventions was
superb. The proceedings of the conventions
and the results Of the balloting were known
in this city almost as soon as they were in
the halls of the conventions. Indeed, hardly
a minute elapsed after the taking OF the
ballots in Chicago before they
were bulletined here. The service
was highly appreciated and was
very generally commended. The
operating force, under the direction of the
efficient aud courteous superintendent, Mr..
L. J. Maxwell, did all that was possible to
render the service acceptable to the public
end the company's patrons. Mr.. Maxwell
and corps OF operators remained at their
posts all night Wednesday night and
enabled the MORNING News to get the
nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland for Thursday
mornings issue. The bulletin service of
Savannah was better probably than that OF
any other town in the south.

The Ticket and the Platform.


The democratic national convention conn.,
pleted its work yesterday by nominating
Mr.. A. E. Stevenson for Vice President. He
is a man in every respect worthy OF the high
honor that has been conferred upon him.
! He is modest and is not as well known as
other men who were mentioned for the posi-
ton. He is a man Of splendid ability and
the highest character. AS First Assist
ant Postmaster General during Mr..
! Clevelaud's administration he made
q reputation that caused him to be
mentioned in connection with higher and
more responsible positions. He supplements
Mr.. Cleveland admirably. and together they
make ticket that will command not only
the full support of the party, but of all
voters who are DESTROYS Of an administra-
ton that will place the interests of the
country and the welfare of the people above
every other consideration.
In commenting upon the nomination of
Mr.. Cleveland yesterday the MORNING
NEWS said that 1t was the best that could
have been made. and that will be the Judg
ment OF the entire party before the cam
paign has progressed very far. Mr.. Cleve-
land was nominated In response to
the demand of the people. Many OF
the ablest of the party leaders were
opposed to him because they did
not like his independence and his frankness
in expressing his opinions. These are the
very qualities, however, that the people ad-
mire. They feel that their interests are
safe in his hands and that if he is elected
President he will exert himself to the utmost
to remove from them unnecessary burdens
and to introduce honesty, efficiency and
purity into every branch Of the public serv-
ice.
AS the MORNING NEWS has already
stated, the platform cannot fail to give sat-
isfaction. 1t expresses fully the purposes
and desires Of the party. IL contains the
principles for which the party has so long
battled, and for which it will continue to
battle. They are principles upon which the
government should be administered be-
cause they are certain to bring prosperity
and happiness to TIE people.
The dissppointments growing out Of the
struggle over the ticket will soon be forgot
ten. All good democrats recognize the
fact that the majority must rule, and in this
instance the majority was an overwhelm-
ing one. With the disappearance of the
irritation which was inseparable from the
struggle there will come a determination TO
win the election. The ranks Of the democ-
raoy will close up and present a united and
confident front to the enemy. Animated
by the spirit that brought about the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Cleveland the democracy will
not admit that defeat is possible.
