MI. Theodore d. Jervey, the onl,
{ original Cleveland delegate from
4 South Carolina at the Chicago con.
v%ention, has just returned to the
: CITY. Whom asked about his trip
f Mr.. Jervey said:
emo person that | met in Chicago
made as great an impression upon
mo as Mr.. Whitney. Everybody
seemed to fall under tho spell of his
influence He il q born leader OF
men. In that vast a~ssemblage there
were many men of national promi-
nence. l saw Bayard, Dickinson,
Villas, Flower, Daniel, of Virginia,
Campbell, of Ohio, Watterson, of
Kentucky, and many others, but
!, oYor them all fell the shadow of the
great New Yorker.
"Tho finest oratory was for Hill.
This is not simply my own opinion,
but was also remarked to me by a
!, gentleman who himself delivered
one of the finest speeches made,
Congressman Wilson, tho permanent
president of the convention. The
finest speeches made in my Judgment
were, first Bourke Cockran's closing
effort, and second Dewitt's nomina-
ton of Hill. The most successful
speeches were made by President
Wilson and Col. Mckenzie, of Ken
tuoky. Hensel, of Pennsylvania, also
made a great speech for Cleveland
and thereby drew upon himself the
full fire of Cockran's sarcasm, for he
6 anticipated the latter's argument and
answered i; in advance, which
brought upon his devoted head the
s full force of the matchless eloquence
OF Tqammang''s great orator. These

~terson Watterson came off second best
and, despite the papers, it is q fact that
Tom. L. Johnson, Of Ohio, contrib
uted more to the success of Neal's
amendment to the platform than
Watterson did. The temporary
chairman was a fine looking man,
: but he had to be prompted during
his speech. =.
"On account of the letters obtained
for me by Judge Simonton through
Gov. Thompson, | was enabled to
introduce our national executive

men and to put him in bhe way Of
