THE PEOPLE ARE FOR CLEVELAND.
That lie Mr.. Blount's Reading of the Re-
suit in Georgia.

That is Mr.. Blount's Reading of the Re-
suit in Georgia.
A Washington dispatch makes Mr..
Blount Of Georgia comment on the action
of the Georgia democratic convention as
follows:
ut looks to me like the assertion of the
popular feeling in defiance of the men who
tried To manage the convention. The wave
of sentiment was too strong for anything TO
stand up against 1t successfully. Look at
the strength of the organization opposed to
Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Howell is power in
state politics. So is MIR. Walsh. Joseph E.
Brown has been, as you know, one of the
strongest men in the party, and Senator
Colquitt and Representative Livingston,
president of the farmers alliance, went
down there to work. When such an array
OF talent falls short of success the reason is
not far to seek"
Asked If be thought the alliancemen in
Georgia would revolt against Cleveland's
nomination, Mr.. Blount Ii reported to have
replied:
Il do not. / believe an attempt of that
sort will be made, because there are some men
such move. The fact that large ele
ment OF alliance democrats we're present in
the convention, which came out 80 plainly
for Cleveland. shows how things are going.
You noticed. perhaps, how the North Caro-
lima democratic convention acted also.
There is no doubt that Cleveland has got
the majority of that delegation Also"
Mr.. Blount is represented as saying that
Georgia would give Cleveland an old-fash-
Toned majority, and as replying when asked
Il Georgia democrats will refuse to be af-
fected by the faction in New York state:
Entirely. In the Chicago convention l
have no doubt the Hill delegates will be
seated, no matter what kind of case the
antt-Hill people present. But the fact will
not figure in the result. The popular feeling
all over the country will make itself felt
there, as it does in the state conventions.
Some of Mr.. Cleveand's enemies declare
that this is merely species Of personal
ldolatry OF the man. 1t is nothing of the
sort. The almost universal bent of the
party toward MIR. Cleveland is due, not to
any kind Of hero worship, but to the fact
that he represents to the public mind as no
other man in public life does at the present
moment the principles of tariff reform. The
people believe in that, and in him as its
representative, and they are sw eeping down
everything which comes in their way

The PRIZE TRIEF.
He Steals Cage of Lions and Gets
Half Way s cross the Continent.

He Steals a Cage of Lions and Gets
Half Way S cross the Continent
CHICAGO, May 22.-Detectives have capt.
ured Henry Varnell, a runaway from
Barnum & Bailey's circus, who left the
show at York, Pa, last Friday, taking with
him cage containing lion, lioness and
two cubs. Varnell was a driver on one of
the cages, aud also drove a chariot. He
had become dissatisfied with the money
paid him and had row with the foreman
OF the drivers, resulting In a hard fight.
That night, after the tents had been struck,
he hltched his team of horses to the wagon
cage containing the lions and drove away,
ostenslbly TO the depot. But he drove to
another depot, and placing the cage in
box car, which he had chartered that after
noon, started for Chicago In the hurried
confusion the cage was not missed until the
next day. The detective agency was notI-
fed and Varnell was tracked.
Detective Lonergan found his man In a
box car in the Northwestern freight yards.
DE was on his way TO the west to join cir
Gus in Nebraska. The man was arrested
and taken to the office of the agency.
When he arrived there he told them that
the lions had not been fed since the day be-
fore, and they would be dangerously hum
CRY unless fed at once He feared that they
might break out of the cage Lonergau re-
turned to the box car, where he had left a
man in charge, aud quarter of beef was
chopped up and thrown the hrutes. They
seemed almost famished
Varnell is a dangerous fellow, having
been in several scrapes, and 1t is the opinion
OF Manager French that bis object in speak
ing about the hunger of the lions was in the
hope that he would be permitted to take
care Of the hunger~maddened brutes He
would have undoubtedly made his escape
had he turned the lions loose, which idea he
admitted had entered his mind
The lions are valued at $500. The rob-
