Tie Democrats Sustained.
Miner Electoral Law Declared
Constitutional,
Michigan Will Give Part OF Its EleC-
tOral Vote to the Democrats.
The Supreme Court Of the State
After Due Consideration
Tells the Republicans
That They Were
Wrong.

LANSING, MICH, June 1.-THE
supreme court filed an opinion this
morningsustaining the Miner electoral
law.
The opinion was written by Justice
Montgomery, and eoncurred In by all
the other justices.
The opinion says it is evident that
question of greatest importance is that
relating to the true Interpretation of
section l, of article 2, of the federal
constitution, which provides that
leach state shall appoint, in such
manner as the legislature thereof may
direct, a number of electors equal to
the whole number of senators and
representatives to which the state may
be entitled in congress-"
In the judgment of the court these
words are clearly susceptible OF con-
struction which confers upon the
Legislature a power to say how the
state action shall he voiced.
1t further concludes that it would
be strained construction which
would give to either the fourteenth
or fifteenth amendments the effect to
annul the power expressly delegated
in section l, of article 2, of the con-
stitution.
1t is clear thst the fifteenth amend
ment was intended to preclude the
state from making any discrimination
against citizens on account of color.
BY neither amendment was there
any attemut to place limitations upon
the authority of the state as to the
choice of officers hereto, for presi-

GROVER WILL GET II.
Almost Every State Instructed to Vote

CHICAGO, June 21.-The Democratic
national convention, ON its opening day,
had not even the interest of the conven-
ton held two weeks ago at Minneapolis.
The opponents of Mr.. Harrison kept up
bold front until the third session of
the convention. They claimed even an
hour before the nomination was made
that they had hopes of success. The
men who have been lighting Cleveland
most bitterly gave nj ali hope Tuesday
morning. They even stopped the shout
ing of their followers in the corridors of
the hotels and the convention opened as
tamely almost as the Cleveland ratifca-
ton meeting at st. Louis four years ago.
The Talnmany men did not give up
the battle until an early hour Tuesday
morning. AS the delegations at their
meetings Monday evening determined
one by one to support Cleveland as a
unit, the nti-Cleveland case grew more
and more hopeless, and when the news
that Illinois had refused to break from
its instructions, came in about mid
night, the battle was over.

HOPELESS FOR HILL.
However, His Name Will BE Placed i
fore the Convention,

However, His Name Will BE Placed Be-
fore the Convention.
CHICAGO, June 21.-The general air of
quietude about the Tammany and Hill
headquarters Tuesday morning was in
dlcative of defeat. 1t was noticeable
that the leaders made no more claims of
any chances of winning for Mr.. Hill.
Assemblyman Timothy Sullivan, of
New York city, stood in the waiting
room of the state committee and said:
"We might as well take our medicine
gracefully. We are beaten out of sight,
and the only thing to do is to turn in
and elect Cleveland"
The rest of Tammany nodded assent.
Chairman Murphy came around about
o'clock. Asked the situation, he said:
"We shall present the name of Senator
Hill to the convention and New York
state will vote solidly for him. We
must fulfil our pledge. We have worked
hard for our candidate and we are evi-
IDENTIFY beaten, but that should not make
us desert him."
1t is current rumor about Tammany
headquarters that when it is settled
beyond doubt that Mr. Cleveland is
nominated Colonel John R. Fellows will
arise, and on behalf of New York move
that the nomination be made unani-
nous. Colonel Fellows neither afirms
nor denies the statement.
There had been rays of hope OCCASION
ally during the evening. Most of them
were clouded though. Only two favorite
sons stayed in the fight unCompromising-
ly-Hill and Boies, The other candi-
dacies we're all conditional. ''If Cleve-
land is out Of the way" was the eau
tious introduction of every state as it
proclaimed its allegiance to its local
leader.
Indiana was a unit for Cleveland
until he should be out of the race
then it was for Gray. Maryland would
have delighted to honor her candidate
of Monday-"If Cleveland should ever
be out of the race" But second choice
candidates were at a discount Tuesday
morning. Mr.. Gornans friends were
doing all that they could Monday night,

dental electors are still regarded as

In the decision 1t Is admitted that
the act is in conflict with the federal
statutes insofar as it attempts to fix o
date for the meeting of electors, and
method of certifying their action, but
holds that this does not render the
entire act imperative, as there is DO
doubt Of the rule, that where the law of
a state conflicts with the federal law in
a matter in reference to which con-
gress has the right to legislate, the
state law must give way to the extent
of such conflict.
The Miner electoral law divides the
state into districts and provides that
each district elect a presidential
elector and it is not necessary for the
state to vote as unit.

Work Begins.
At 12:42 Chairman Brice came to the
front of the platform, and standing with
gavel in hand, said: 1.-The convention
will come to order. l have the pleasure
of introducing the Rev. John Rouse
who will open the proceedings with

The Rev. John Rouse was smooth.
faced, long-haired young man, dressed
in the canonicals of the Episcopal
church. He looked over the assemblage
for a moment, and spreading his hands,
he said: "Order."
Then, folding his hands, he began his
prayer. Not fifty of the delegates stood
during the prayer.
At its conclusion Chairman Brice
said: Gentlemen of the convention,
by direction of the national committee,
the chair presents to this convention as
its temporary officers the gentlemen
named in the following list, which the
secretary will read"
The list made Hon. W. G. Owens, of
Kentucky, permanent chairman; secre-
tary, S. P. Steering, of Indiana; num-
ber of assistant secretaries; reading
clerk, N. M. Bell; sergeant-at-arms, Mr..
Bright, of Indiana; official stenographer,
Edward Dickinson, of New York.
The list was adopted without opposi-
tion, and the chair appointed commit
tee to escort the temporary chairman to
the platform.

LANCASTER, June 16.-Lancaster is a
local option town, but she has her
"blind tigers" Several days ago Henry
A. Burdett, detective, took the matter
in hand and began to work up cases
against the illict whisky sellers of "Bat-
tie Row." negro settlement.
He reported Wednesday morning
and five negroes and one white man
were arrested on 3,211 warrants. The
white mans name is Frank Turner, who
halls from a faction by that name in
Bell county. He was fined 800 each in
LOTT cases, amounting to $157 ZOO.
Turner is now in jail for kidnapping an
important witness against him. A ne

aisle with The committee. rMr. Dr1cere
tired, leaving the space in front of tn,
chairmans desk to Mr.. Owen. TIL,
chairman made short speech.
Mr.. Owen had respectful and al
interested hearing, but there was NJ
great enthusiasm over his remarks unit
he came to the "Legions of the breaC
and butter brigade" Then the conven
ton cheered again and again. The chail
asked what the pleasure of the conven
ton was.
Mr.. White, of California, offered Q
called to name members of the different
committees and that all resolutions re.
lating to the platform be referred to the
committee on resolutions without debate
and that the credentials of such delegate
be delivered by each delegation to the
committee on credentials.
General Bragg, of Wisconsin, offered
as an amendment that the rules of the
last Democratic convention govern this
body until otherwise ordered.
Mr.. White accepted this amendment
as being first in order, and temporarily
withdrew his resolution which he again
offered after General Bragg's substitute
was passed. 1t was read by Reading
Clerk Bell.
Mr.. Rhodes, of Alabama, interposed
with an amendment which was read. 1t
provided for committee on rules in ad-
dition to the other committees. There
was a brief discussion of the amend
ment. the explanation being made that
the original resolutions delegated the
Jyvp1.ly of fha fNrp1NOca1 10 Lo
committee on permanent organization.
The amendment was adopted, how
ever, and the resolution as amended
went through. The clerk then read the
roll call and the chairman of each dele
cation handed in or announced the
names chosen.
Sympathy for Blaine.
Mr.. Cable of Illinois, offered resolu-
ton of sympathy to James G. Blaine,
"that this convention tender its pro-
found sympathy to that distinguished
American, James G. Blaine, in the many
Affections which have befallen him."
The reading of the name of Mr.. Blaine
was the signal for an outburst of greater
enthusiasm than the convention had
known before. The resolution was
adopted without dissent.
Edward G. SWEET, of Maine, got the
floor and briefly thanked the convention
on behalf of the Maine delegation.
Such an aff1iction as Mr.. Blaine's, he
said, levelled all ranks.
Continuing he referred to the many
misfortunes and bereavements which
had come upon the distinguished gentle.
man in the last few years, and said that
only in Democratic convention ''cau
We extend to him the sympathy which
comes from every section and every
state" Mr.. Swett's remarks weri
greeted with prolonged applause.
An invitation from the worlds fair
for the delegates tovisit the fair grounds
was read.
General Bragg, of Wisconsin, moved
that the convention adjourn to II
o'clock, but on suggestion of several del.
egates changed the hour to II o'clock.
Before the motion could be put the
delegates were in the aisles, and when
at four minutes to 2 o'clock, the chair
man declared the convention adjourned,
most of them were making for the exits.
