HOW THE CONVENTION LOOKS


1t is one of the events of a lifetime to lool
into the eager faces which are turned toward
the speakers desk at the great convention
The sight is a most impressive one at all times
and particularly so Mt night. when the electric
lights lend additional effect to the interior OF
the convention hall.
The general shape of the hall is oblong
rounded at either end. Across the further end
is erected gigantic stage, seating several hun
dred people. Looking from point on this
stage. directly back OF the speakers desk the
appearance is that Of an immense basin, the
sides 81 which are the galleries extending from
the floor to height of about twenty-five feet
Along the sides Of the house are two other
galleries. and at each end there are several tier,
Of boxes.
Across the back of the stage is erected a
large sounding board. This is decorated Will

with two flags crossed beneath it. Is the mono
gram of the society worked out in incandescen,
electric lights.
Here and there all over the hall are placard,
bearing the names Of the various states. terri
tories and provinces. and these serve to show
where the various delegations are assigned
seats. In addition to these placards nearly
every delegation displays banner bearing it
name. The District of Columbia is assigned
sents in the lower right-hand gallery about hall
way down the hall.

Tammany Carries ON the Realization

SHEEPsHEAp BAY Race TRACK, July
s.-Abont 20. 1000 men and women, low
ers of the race horse, saw Marcus Days
three-year-old colt, Tammany, win the
Realization Stakes at the Bay this
afternoon in a common hand gallop.
Garrison rode Tammany, and he never
had to urge the great colt at any stage
of the mile and FIVE furlong journey.
There was no delay at the post.
After seven furlongs had been Gov
cred the Pepper was running under a
pull three lengths in front OF the held
and Garrison let out wrap OF Tamma-
nv's reins and shot through the tail end
of the bunch into fifth place. Turning
into the home stretch, Garrison and
Tammany babe adieu to Victory and
Hamilton and made giant strides to-
ward the western colt, who was three
lengths in front The great Tamma-
ny's legs worked like with the
Drecision of q piston ROD,
and his machine-like motion forced him
past the swerving Western colt, six
teenth from the finish which was reach
ed with Tammany first BY length and
half, the Pepper second by eight
lengths, Patron third by length, Vic
tory fourth by a head and Charade fifth
by eight lengths, the Others being
beaten off. 1t was decidedly unin-
teresting finish, but the spectators very
generously applauded Garrison and the
great colt for the impressive manner in
which they had defeated their oppo-
nents.
The stakes is worth about S35, 200.

DUBLIN, July FEATHER Behan,
whose recent speech in which he bitter
ly attacked the memory OF the late Mr..
Parnell, and whose yituperatiye Ian
guage regarding the Parnellites has
caused much bitter feeling, spoke again
in this city to-day.
He excused his former utterances on
the plea that they were made In the
heat of campaign. After the meeting
was over a crowd followed Father
Behan's carriage hooting and yelling at
him. The priest lost his temper and
putting his head out of the carriage
window he called the Parnellites sconn-
drels and said they were stuffed with
the cheapest kind of porter.
The police had to interfere to pro-
tect him from being assaulted by the en-
ragged Parnellites.
Col. John P. Nolan, Parnellite, who is
standing In the northern division OF
county Galway, while canvassing mis-
district to-day was knocked down and
badly beaten. A priest mas been ar
rested on the charge of melting the at
tack on Colonel Nolan.
The house of prominent anti-Parnell-
ties at Cork has been attacked by crowd
of Parnellites who smashed the win
dows and scattered the furniture. The
children of the house were injured by
stones thrown by the attacking party.

The most exciting elections in the
United States are tame and quiet com
pared With parliamentary election in
England.
Within the past few days the cable
has told Of the rough treatment of BAL
FOUR and CHAMBERLAIN. GEORGE AU-
eUsrUs SALA and his wife were attack
ed aud the venerable GLADSTONE was
struck in the face by stone.
But HENRY NJ. STANLEY had perhaps
the liveliest experience. He is an anti
Gladstone candidate. The great ex-
plorer can hold his own among the saw
age tribes Of Africa, but in the rough
and tumble of British politics he is a
mere baby. Unfortunately for STANLEY,
he has no control over his own temper,
and when the crowd began to guy him
he lost it.
A correspondent says that at the first
note OF contradiction he started as if
shot. grew livid with amazement, and
then red with rage, and stood at loss
for words. His hearers finding him so
easily bulldozed, interrupted him with
impairment questions, and in his con-
fusion his wife had to prompt him,
much TO the mob's delight. He was
questioned about his nationality, his
change OF name, his trestment OF his
reargnard, his ignorance Of public is
saes and English affairs until he was
speeches. with wrath.
At this critical iuncture his wife
rushed Forward aud made scene never
witnessed before on political platform,
Mrs. STANLEY declared that she had
voted for her husband two years before
in WESTMINSTER Abbey, and appealed to
the peopls 70 vote for him now. Amidst
shouts, derisivs laughter and ironical
cheers, the mortified woman pronounced
STANLEY the first man in England, and
said that his defeat would be disgrace
to the borough.
This exhibition caused the crowd to
go wild with mirth, and when the Stan
icy party drove away shouts of mockery
followed II.
It's thought that STANLEY will be
beaten by heavy vote. His defeat
however. would be small loss. He has
no political ability and would cut no
figure In Parliament. Still, his treat
ment In the present campaign is an out
rage. Let US hope that the time will
never come in the history OF the United
States when such men as GLADSTONE
and STANLEY cannot speak from a
public platform without being insulted
and assaulted.

DUBLIN, July "A serious political
riot occurred in Waterford late last
night. Two political meetings were
held in different parts of the city, at
one of which the principal speaker was
Mr.. John E. Redmond (Parnelite), who
represented Waterford City in the last
Parliament At the other meeting Mr..
David Sheehy (anti-Parnellite), who sat
for South Galway, was the principal
speaker.
Both meetings were we'll attended and
the usual style Of campaign oratory was
INDUCED in. There was no trouble at
the meetings, but later the supporters
of the Psrnellite faction headed.by mob
stormed Mr.. Sheehy'S committee room.
The anti-Parnelites fought the at
tackers desperately, but the latter were
in too strong force. The police charged
the assailants, but their efforts too
were useless and the committee room
was captured. During the fight many
of the participants on both sides were
wounded including Mr.. Sheehy, who
was injured in three places. Several
arrests were made.
