DOUGLASS, ARGUMENT.

Among the ebony and brunette peo-
pie with political badges on at Mime
apOlis, perhaps the most notable is the
venerable white-haired FRED DOUG
LASS. He was observed yesterday with a
small crowd of Afro-Americans about
him. urging their loyalty to the president
The argument that he was. using, and
evidently regarded as the most effective
with his hearers who are delegates,
was in Yindication of the lIberality of
the president in the distribution of the
epOils. He insisted that they had .'been
dealt fairly with in the way of Offices"
Several of those about him were said
to have federal places in the South, and
nodded approval of his statements. His
ideas of party principles, and Of the rela-
tons of individuals to them, are a
natural sequence of his career. He has
been kept in Offices with fat salaries
until he is understood to have become
quite wealthy, simply because he stood
as representative OF the colored peo-
pie. 1t is not an unjust statement that
he was a failure in every important
office ne has ever been appointed to,
and in none more conspicuously than as
a minister to Hayti. He is a colored
man by profession and politically, but
five-eightns white, and has a white
wife. Yet he does not make a mistake
when he appeals to the negro delegates
from the South to stand by those who
give them office. Nor would his argu-
ment be out of place with great MANY
white delegates.

Pr. Lyons. Local Forecast Official
IS AI'KINLEY MAD?

After Mr.. MCKINLEY's latest exhibi-
ton there is no possibility of question
ing his sincerity. He evidently believes
in protectionism. In fact, he believes
in it so implicitly that his reason has
undoubtedly left him here, however
sane he may be on other subjects. Dur
ing the preliminary platitades of his
speech of yesterday, he carried himself
with great calmness and dignity, his
temperature was apparently normal, and
his sentences were as coherent as could
be expected of one in his trying
position. But when he struck the
tariff, his whole bearing changed.
His cOuntenance assumed an unnat-
ural aspect. his eyes became ominously
There was every symptom of a tempo
rary mental arrangement such as is
frequently observed in people labOIing
under the strain of intense religious
fervor or other unusual excitement. A
man who can say that he stands for a
protective tariff "beeanse it represents
the American boy and girl" or can
eulogize the bill of which it is the au-
thor because it is written in the Ameri-
can language, as though it might have
been written III Russian or Italian, is
clearly not responsible for his utter
ancas. 1t is very distressing that one
fin his pitiable condition should be given
place of such prominence and respon-
sibility in the conventions proceedings.

SPLIT IN ALABAMA.
Two Democratic Tickets Will Be
in the Field.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June S.-The
Democratic state convention was called
TO order today by Chairman Smith, who.
in short speech, predicted the over
throw of men who seek to disrupt the
party. He predicted an overwhelming
victory in August and in the Alabama
vote in November for the Democratic
candinate for president. At this point
some one said Cleveland" and a great
shout went up from all over the hall.
Mr.. Dent was chosen for temporary
chairman. The demand of the Kolb
men for seats for all their delegates
was refused by the committee; also
their demand for the reference of the
contest for governor to primary cleo
ton to be held June %. An adjourn
ment was taken until 10 O'Clock tom0r
row, in order that the committee on Gre
dentialS may pass on the action of the
state executive committee in the matter
of contested seats. The Kolb Alliance
faction met this afternoon and organ
lied as an independent convention.
1t proposes TO carry on the war till the
regular election in August. The Inde-
pendent convention organized by elect
ing John W. Jones, who is not dele
gate, as chairman. His county is for
the regular Democratic nominee. Com
mitteeS on credentials, platform and Or
der of business were appointed, and the
convention adjourned until o'clock.
1t is the purpose of this convention to
nominate kOlb for governor and put
full ticket in the field.

THE CONVENTION.

The party of great moral ideas spent
an hour in the exposition hall yesterday
morning listening to the music and eX-
changing pleasant cOurteSieS. Then it
adjourned for the afternoon and even
Ing to the hotel iObbieS and the commit
tee rooms, where the real work Of the
convention is doing. The complexion
OF the Republican ticket is 10 be de-
termincd in stricteSt compliance with
the will of the delegates regularly
chosen and speaking after the method
prescribed by the constitution. 1t is
impossible to believe that body of men
so keeniy appreciative of the noble
sentiments spoken by their orators at
their successive sessions should follow
any other course. The Republican party
is strong on the constitution and
free ballot and a fair count. a few
preiiminaries have to be disposed of,
ihCWeyer, before there can be an honest
expression of the conventions views.
The committee on credentials is attend
ng to some OF these. Its part in the
reform movement is 10 pack the dele9a-
tions from the Southern states in the
interest of Mr.. BLAINE'S candidacy.
Besides the committee on credentials,
another committee, which has no name,
is busly engaged in educating the ne
grOeS WHO have seats on the floor. This
requires not only time, but money also.
A negro does not readily make up his
mind between the attractions of cash in
hand and the promise of a poStmas ter
ship. Owing to the uncertainty as to
how long it will take these committees
o complete their duties, no one can tell
when the actual voting will begin. The
BLAINE managers are reported TO know,
however, because they control the organ
ization, and can hurry or extend the con-
vention's work as suits their pleasure.
1t appears now that they are trying to
wear out the opposition by delay. Lo-
cally this is a popular programme, es-
pecially with the hotel keepers. and if
they are sincerely of this intention they
will soon have the galleries with them.
As Mr.. MCKINLEY put it in his
speech, the delegates are in MinneapO-
lis ito make ticket that will commend
itself to the conscience, and the inselli-
gence, and the judgment of the Ameri-
can people" 1t is very instructive TO
see how this is done.

Burr Finds Both Harrison and
Blaine Unwilling to Show
Hands.
Neither Apparently Anxious
to Rush Matters to an
Issue.
Two Days Of Idleness Very
Unusual in National Con-
VentionS.
Great Praise for the Work OF
the People OF Minneap-
{ oils.

The picture was complete. No ma
tional convention has ever met under
better conditions. The great hall had
sound and spirit from start to nnish.
The wide corridors. the unique decora-
tons without oStentation were some
thing remarkable. The great conven-
ton town of Chicago was simply by
play to what was around here yester-
day. Going over to the building that is
better fixed and better managed than
any national convention that l have
ever seen, the Mississippi river was
passed, and a whole arch of flour bar
rels and shingles illustrated the vigor OF
what is here. The strength of
these Northwestern people is
simply marvellous. Buildings which
are equal to anything in the
East are on almost every corner.
There was but one dramatic feat
ure in the commonplace proceed
ings, and that was when Fred Douglass
was called upon, and simply bowed his
Acknowledgements. He is wonderful
character. Beginning as slave down
in Maryland, he has reached a high
place in American life, and his long
white locks, like the driven snow, re-
called the lines of Longfellow in de-
scribing the blacksmith in Acadia:
.sBrown as berry was he,like an oak
that was covered with snowfiakes."
The character of the convention was
somewhat remarkable. 1t is the first
time within the history of the Republi-
can party when on the second day
gathering of this character did not rep
resent something that was important.
1t is very difficult to remember ma
tional convention where two days have
passed without business. Not even the
committee on credentials has been able
to report, and half dozen states,
PENNSYLVANIA among the number, ask
time for consideration. When Gen.
Frank Reeder asked for delay there was
silence. The request did not mean very
much, except a hope for time. 1t was
granted, because there was not single
power in the convention that did not
want delay. This shows an element OF
weakness on both sides. Both Blaine
and Harrison have claimed the race.
The situation at this hour demon
strates the fact that they are both. on
the hunt to discover where they stand.
The number of uninStructed delegates,
and the silent fellows who are waiting
for the winner, are more numerous than
has ever before been known. They are
a terribly potent power In this gather
ing.
The real character of the contest has
not changed. Both sides claim every
thing, and the result is in the air. The
general judgment is that Mr.. Blame will
dominate the situation. either for him
self or for some other man. AS said
before, the tendency of his mind is for
John Sherman; and yet, the masters OF
politics who are managing this CAM
paign assert that there is nothing in ii
except the president and his ex-secre-
fary of state. FRANK A. BURR.

BALTIMORE, June S.-Hon. Barnes
Compton, chairman of the Democratic
state committee, called the convention
to order today. Col. Albert Ritchie was
chosen temporary chairman. He made
a short address, in which he referred to
the ubiquitous force bill'' and to the
efforts of Maryland's gallant son against
it. These phrases were received with
great applause and a great cheer Tor
Arthur 2. German. The usual commit
tees were appointed, and short recess
taken to enable them to prepare their
reports. Upon reaSSembling the tenn
porary organization was made perma-
nent, and the committee on resolutions
reported the following platform:
The Democratic party of Maryland reaf-
firms the opinions expressed in the reSoiu-
tons of the national Democratic conventions
held in the years 1884 and 1888. expresses
anew the qualification so universally felt by
our people at the patriotic and able ADMINS
tration of PresidentCleyeland.a and pledges the
Democracy of our state to the cordial support
of the nominations for the presidency ana

made at the national convention at chicago.
DESTROYS above all things that such candi-
dates shall be nominated by that convention
as will organize the united and enthusiastic
support Of the party Ill al sectlons Oh the
Union, and reposing full confidence in the
delegates whom il has selected, it deems
it inexpedient to fetter them with in
structions as to the candidates for whom
they shall vote, suggesting, as IN the national
convention of 1883, they shall act as a unit.
The resolutions name the delegates at
large as follows: Senator A. P. German,
Coy. Frank Brown, G. j. M: Gwynn,
Hon. Barnes Compton, l.. Y. Paugh-
man, l. Freeman Rasin, John 5. Writ
and George n. Upshur. When the first
resolution was read, Senator Wooten, of
Montgomery county, offered an amend
ment to it as follows:
Recognizing in Cleveland the wise and ex
perienced statesman, the unfllnehlng and
courageous champion OF the people causes,
the fearless enemy of tariff oppression and
dishonest money, and the valiant party
leader we recommend his nomination in the
Democratic convention as our candidate for
president.
After considerable discussion, in the
course of which there was free cheering
at the mention of Cleveland and Cor
man, the amendment was rejected by a
vote of % toS.
