CHICAGO, June 21.-The Chicago con-
vention is to be but big ratification
meeting. Cleveland will be nominated
before the sun goes down tomorrow
evening, and his vote will be far and
away beyond the required two-thirds of
all the delegates. The fighting is
nearly all over, and even the Tammany
sachems are considering the advisability
of Withdrawing Senator Hill's name
and giving the nomination to Mr..
Cleveland by acclamation. Boss
Croker favors this, and Gilroy de-
clares that the New York deIega-
ton is making itself ridiculous
by holding out. Tammany is ready to
come to Mr.. Cleveland. but Murphy,
Sheehan and Ridgeway bitterly oppose.
such move. 1t is significant to note
that the bitterest anti-CleVeland men do
not belong to Tammany, although at
present with that organization. Tam

CHICAGO, June 2L-In speaking of
the constant cry of anti-CIeveland men
that the eX-president cannot carry New
York, prominent New York Democrat
calls attention to a circular which was
circulated at the Democratic national
convention at st. Louis in 1876. 1t de-
clares that Tilden cannot carry Ne W
York. and is signed by number of
then prominent Democrats. What makes
it especially interesting is that among
the signatures is that of Gen. II. l..
Slocum, who went before the delega-
ti0ls yesterday declaring just as he did

carry New York.
Susan B. Anthony held an informal
reception at the Sherman house this
afternoon. The famous reformer is

CHICAGO, June 21.-One of the stories
told about Wilson, of West Virginia,
who has been selected Tor permanent
chairman of the Democratic national
convention by the committee on organ
ization, told in the West Virginia head
quarters this evening. was this:
Mr. Wilson went into the Confederate
army as drummer boy, and was an as
sistant at two or three of the earlier
battles of the army of Northern Vir-
ginia. At Balls Bluff, Gen. Longstreet
found young fellow sitting with his
drum on fallen tree, taking no interest
whatever in the very interesting pro-
ceedings going on half-mile in front
of him.
"Why don'tyou rejoin your regiment,
sir?" LongStreet asked angrily.

THE NEW RULES.
A Full Set Formulated by the
Committee.

CHICAGO, June 21.-The committee
on rules and order OF business met in
the afternoon and entrusted its work to
the bands of a subcommittee of seven
members, of which NJ. l.. Clardy, of
Missouri, was made chairman. The
subcommittee was in session for over
four hours, having discovered that
there were in existence no rules Of pre-
ceding conventions, and proceeded to
formulate full set.
With the rules of the present house
of representatives as basis they made
up a complete set of rules which will be
presented to the convention tomorrow.
There are no radical changes over
previous convention methods, and it is
probable that the report will be at once
adopted and reported to the convention.
The committee was much interested TO
learn that the last full rules adopted by
a national Democratic convention were
adopted in 1852.

A CONTEST FOR SEATS,
Not Official, but for the Attending
Thousands.

The names of the various committee
men were announced without any spe
cial feature until Alaska was reached,
when much laughter was occasioned by
the announcement made, there being
but two names to present for the four
committees of permanent organization,
resolutions, credentials and rules and
order of business. A similar outburst
occurred when the other territories
were announced. Utah presented two
lists, the Liberal and the Mormon, and
both lists will go before the committee
on credentials.
On completion of the roll call, Mr..
English, of Indiana. addressed the
chair, saying: Mr.. President, observe
that there are a large number of unoc-
cupied seats in the building, and IN be-
half of the Indiana delegation desire
to offer the following resolution:

ton be directed 10 admit all ex-soldiers of

Cleveland's success. The moment the
South believed that Cleveland could

demand for the nomination of Cleve-

TAMMANY ISOLATED.
Its Admirable Fealty to Hill Is a

CHICAGO, June 21.-The two strong
factors in the Democratic party-the
South and TamInany hall-have not
played the leading parts, as they have
been wont to d.. if they were in accord.
The South did not give its confidence
TO Hill, but has been generous in its
applause of him. and of the victories he
has won in New York. But the moment
the South had misgivings of success
under Hill's leadership it laid aside its
sentiment and turned to Cleveland.
For with the South. Democratic success
is above men, and the debate as TO who
could achieve success was won by the
supporters of Cleveland.
These advocates of Cleveland are able
men. The accomplished Whitney, who
poured oil on the troubled waters and
stood between Tammany hall and the
two hundred thousand revolving Demo
Gratis, overshadowed Hill and the SYRIA

handkerchiefs. Now and then in the
few succeeding minutes delegation
entered in a body. and was received
with cheers, whereas the members of
other delegations simply struggled i'll
and dropped into their chairs.
About ten minutes after II one of
Chicago's characteristic thunder storms
rolled over the wigwam, and the hall
was filled with almost Egyptian dark
ness, through which sharp. quick flashes
of lightning occasionally shot, and the
building shook with several
Rounds of II Battling Thunder.
Umbrellas were raised in all parts Of
the hall for protection from various
aggressive glo bules of water that
sneaked in through crevices in the roof.
Among others who thus shielded him
self from the fluid was Dick Croker, of
New York, who from under his spread
umbrella calmly surveyed the situation,
so far as it was visible in the gloom.

into the wigwam, the crowd greeted it
with a yell.
AT 12:40 p. m. Chairman Calvin S.
Brice. of the national committee,
dropped his gavel on the desk, and the
national Democratic convention of 1892
was declared in order for business. Mr.
Brice came to the front of the platform,
and standing with gavel in hand, said:
"The convention will come to order. l
have the pleasure of introducing Rev.
John Rouse, who will open the proceed
ings with prayer"
SOOthed by Prayer.
Rev. Mr.. Rouse was a smooth-faced,
long-haired young man, dressed in the
canonicals of the Episcopal church. He
looked over the assemblage for a mo-
ment, and spreading his hands, he said:

gates stood during the prayer. At its
conclusion, Chairman Brice said: q

here than there have ever been in any
Democratic convention.
Mr.. Collier waved his hand toward the
seats in the rear of the delegates and in
the galleries. where were to be seen vast
spaces occupied only by empty chairs.
He continued as follows:
Mr.. President, desire to move that

An alleged explanation is made by the
Washington correspondent Of the New
York Commercial Bulletin why the ways
and means committee neglectS to bring
in bin abolishing the duty of half a
cent a pound on refined sugar. Seven
of the ten Democrats on the committee
were in favor Of free sugar so recently
as April Is. but il is asserted that now
but three of them are willing to put
sugar on the free list, The change OF
position is attributed to political timid-
ity. One member admits that he fears
the influence that the Sugar Trust
would be able to bring to bear upon its
workmen in the close State Of New York
that he is unwilling to antagonize so
powerful combination. Other mem
bers of the Ways and Means Committee
explain more explicitly that il the House
should pass a free sugar bill the Repub-
lican Senate would employ it as me ans
TO extort a huge campaign fund from
the Sugar Trust. This is folly.
In the Grst place, it is said that but
few Of the workmen employed in the
sugar refneries are citizens, the wages
being so low that none but recently ar
rived Hungarians and Poles are willing
to accept them; and that it would be
impossible for the employers further to
reduce pay and retain their help; more
over, the Sugar Trust aud every similar
combination in the country may be ex-
pected TO contribute generously to the
Republican campaign fund in any case.
A combination whose monopoly depends
upon the maintenance Of an exorbitant
tariff duty may be relied upon to rec
oenize the Importance of keeping in
power the party whose corner stone is
that policy.
II the Sugar Trust has acquired such
power as 70 dominate the economic
policy Of the government that is more
than ever a reason why ii should be de-
prlyed Of it's strength by the abolition
Of the duty upon which its existence
depends. The sugar tariff enables the
Trust to extort from the American
people a sum estimated at 100000 600
per year over and above what they
would have to paw but for its existence,
while it yields to the government less
than $4,000. Let Democratic Con-
gressmen have the courage OF their
convictions and strike it down.

A Deserted Village.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 6.-The
Senate to-day presented an appearance
of general desertion by Senator'S.
Whole sections OF seats on both sides
were deserted. Messrs. Sherman, Ali
son, Hale and Chandler were in their
accustomed places, however, and Mr..
HUI was also in his seat. But all told
there were not more than thirty Sena-
tors present and there appeared to be
an utter lack of interest in ordinary
business. The consular and diplomatic
appropriation bill was laid before the
Senate, but was temporarily laid aside
in order to permit MIR. Vest TO address

introduced by him to discharge the FL

Taking wool as a text, Mr.. Vest de-
nounced the Mckinley act as mon
strous fraud which had not been re.
lieved even by the invention Of recIpro-
city; the Plumed Knight from Maine
was not at the front OF the Republican
party. He had just made a cavalry
charge which had shattered the oppos'
Ing cohorts. Mr.. Blaine's Rceat recon-
