CHICAGO, June 16.-About all the news
paper correspondents are buying acciden
tickets for the wigwam, a large ice hous,
here which the National Committee ha!
erected to cool the temperature of 16,00t
people. If the greatest accident in our his
tory were to attend one of these National
Conventions, might it not cure the disease
of them? The original wigwam in Chicago
was a necessity of the city's infancy, but
there are q hundred editces now in the
same city which would contain respect
able convention and a respectable audience
besides Less than 900 delegates would
hardly ELL the average theater, and the
Auditorium could contain them all and seat
5000 spectators besides.
In that huge audience how Intellectual
must be the protest of one-th1rd of the del.
egates against popular favorite! The few
Christian captives in the Colosseum would
not have been more lonesome on the day
the big lion was let loose at them, with all
Rome for an audience.
If Mr.. Brice made this wigwam and e1-
pected to defeat Mr.. Cleveland, he must
have had the logic of an eel Most of the
other candidates for the Presidency will be
unknown to the audience. Even Governor
Boies, in spite of his having belonged to
both parties, will have to change the SPELL
ing of his name, that the boys may whoop
for him.
Palmer Driven to His Retreat.
Impressed with the lonesomeness of the
situation, old General Palmer, the Simon
Stylites of the occasion, has got down from
his pillar and taken to his hole. He has be-
longed to both parties and challenged the
regular army for stopping the fire on consti-
tutional grounds, since which time he has
been an object of mystery to all conven-
tions, aud, if nominated, should have on the
ticket with him the Englishman who re-
fused to save mans life when drowning
because he had not been introduced to him.
Hill is undoubtedly known to the major
ity of the $4,000; he is known as the man
who ran between Cleveland's legs in the at
tempt to down him at the tournament. Car
lisle is known to men of intelligence and to
most people of Kentucky, but not to a ma
jority of the politicians here. They would
not let him enter the Senate on account of
the mild and sensible imprint he had re-
csived from living in Cincinnati. The re-
cording angel does not know the names of
the Kentucky Senators who continuously
beat Carlisle until an outer feeling from the
North cried '1or shame" and he was
selected by getting down to Frankfort and
saying: 'Your aims, friends, and now that
he is to be nominated by Kentucky here,
the orator from that State Will not resign
his chance to make speech to give Mr..
Carlisle the support of his State.
The ruling States of country can often
be ascertained by their power to harmonic
in the face of a great national occasion.
Maine and Indiana understand that LOYALTY
to leader is better oratory than magazine
gush.
Votes Worth More Than Oratory.
There is no eloquence like the rising of
State for its friend and delivering all its
votes like q platoon of musketry. As long
as speech is golden and silence is silvern,
the orators of State will cut a small fig
ure. 1t is Mr.. Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
I think, whose father, a Rev. Mr. Breckin-
ridge, presided over the convention which
nominated Abraham Lincoln for that fatal
second term, which sowed the seeds of dis
ruption in his party. One clergyman can
sometimes be unanimous with himself, but
when Tom Donaldson brought thousand
clergymen in to help MI. Blaine they fell
afoul OF each other in the first few minutes.
'Rum, Romanism and Rebellion" says Mr.
Burchard. "You have insulted my re-
ligion." says Father O'FIaherty. "Where
do come imp" remarked Mr.. Blaine, and
wept.
The orator Breckenridge is a brother of
the Arkansas Breckenridge. Their father
lies in the Lexington cemetery, with an
American flag wrapped about the shaft of
his tomb.
Among the Presidential names see Gray.
of Delaware-not Gray, of Indiana-who |
appears to be outside the calculations of the |
Cleveland men. The mugwump contingent |
here is talking Justify for Cleveland and |
Boies.
Senator washburn is reported as having
said in Minnesota: "What ticket will keep |
Republicans very i'll up this way?' Re- |
peating this to an old-time Chicago Demo |
crat from Kentucky he said: "Where do I |
come in with such ticket as that-one end |
of it mugwump and the other Republican, |
Said I: "You come into the ark, or YOU
will get very wet"
Bayard q Family Legatee.
Mr.. Gray, of Delaware, had the pleas
ure of knowing before he became publicly
known. He lived in the healthy and once
important town of New Castle the old
Dutch emporium of the Delaware. His
father was a Whig who had no patience
with the moral evasions of John NJ. CLAW
ton, and sulked in his tent. The son was
very good looking: large, and of an amiable
yet positive character, the family descend
ant Thomas f. Bayard receiving the honors
OF the Democratic party, MI. Gray putting
In no claim, but he was so much of law
yer, so steady, SO comfortable to have
around when cool intellect was to be con-
suited, that Bayard respected him as much
as Harrison respects Miller, his partner
When Mr.. Bayard went into the Cleveland
admlnlstration Mr.. Gray came to the Sem
ate. The Republicans thought him an
ADLER man than Bayard. The influence of
bayard is somewhat like that of Cleveland
In the didactic habit of addressing men as
soon as he opens his shutters in the morn
ing and apparently reading out of the old
English reader.
The preacher, after ALL leads the politi-
clans, and at the head of every era was some
Preacner. 1t Is not impossible that in the
increase OF large States mopotonous by that
increase some little State like Delaware
might become a favorite like BENJAMIN
among his brethren. The Democratic marty
does not contain soupder heart and head
and body than George GRAY. Delaware has
been described as Bourbonism modified by
Wilmington, place OF near 70, 900 people.
which Is but three or four miles from New
Castle, to which it NAV one day extend.
The new elevated railroad in Chicago has
Its trains of cars made in Wilmington.
To that city Mr.. Pullman, of Chicago. goes
for the best Eastern skilled labor on cars.
Cleveland Just Like Harrison.
Mr.. Cleveland specifically appears to
have about the same strength in this con-
vention which Harrison had week before
,he Minneapolis Convention, namely, 500
