the Vice Presidency, and the
Georgia delegation is also understood to be
very favorable TO Mr. Bynum. Stevenson
and Morrison, Of Illinois, Boies, Of Iowa
and Campbell, of Ohio are also freely
discussed, but despite all the speculation of
the hour. Ex-Governor Gray still appears
to be the favorite candidate for the vice
presidency.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Itis said here TO-
night by persons in a position to know
Senator Hilps intentions, that he will not
withdraw his name from the list of caudi'
dates before the Chicago convention,
There is every reason TO believe that Sena'
tor Hill made a positive declaration TO this
effect this afternoon, but would not permit
himself to be directly quoted. IL is also
said that the Senator still clings TO the be-
lief that Cleveland will be defeated some
how.

CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO. ILL, June
2i-The dissatisfaction over the ticket ar
rauFement is very pronounced among the
visitors from the several states, and the
committee Of arrangements is catching it
right and left.
There are thousands Of people here un-
able to obtain seats without paying tribute
to the local committee, at the rate OF Sl2 TO
$50, and this in a hall with seating capac-
itv Of 19, 500, and which was not over half
full at tO-day's meeting.
If each delegate had been given fifteen
tickets instead of five, the pressure would
have been relieved; but the avaricious COM
mittee cut the thing as fine as they could.

ted them for distribution, they could GER
tainly not give accommodations for 1900
newspaper workers, and that they should
not be blamed for the lack OF facilities
when that question was determined solely
by the National Committee. And so it is
the National Committee which is tonight
the object Of the general protest from the
newspaper fraternity, and this protest
finds vigorous utterance in the dispatches
that are going out over the wires to all
portions of the Union.
The conviction that Cleveland shall be
the leader of the Democratic party had
full possession of the delegates to-day, and
was so fixed that all other things are
merely TO be done to reach that result and
for which the convention will rush i'm
petuously and with unanimity that must
nettle the hapleSs opposition in the conven-
tion and amaze the Republican party.
The two strong factors in the Democratic
party-the South and Tammany Hall-have
not played the leading parts as they have
been wont TO do, and as undoubtedly they
could do, If they were in accord. The South
did not give its confidence to Hill but has
been generous in iJs applause of him, and
of the victories ne has won in New YORK.
But the moment the South had misgivings
OF success under Hills leadership, il laid
aside its sentiment and turned 10 Cleve-
land
Now that the Presidency is practically
disposed of in all but the formality the
spirit of speculation which is always active
in political conventions is directed to the
Vice Presidency The selection OF ex-
Governor Isaac p. Gray, of Indiana, as the
running mate of ex-President Cleveland
seemed very probable last night and this
morning, but later in the day it transpired
that Mr. GRAY might have some opposition
where IL was least expected. There are
various members of the Indiana delegation,
among whom are said to be numbered the
leaders of
THE CLEVELAND FACTION
in the Hoosier State, who are opposed to
the selection Of Mr. Gray, and who would
be disposed to construe his nomination as
an affront to the people who have borne
the brunt of the battle in the Hoosier State
in behalf of Cleveland in opposition 10 the
Presidential ambition Of Indiana's favorite
son.
The proverb that politics make strange
bed fellows" was never better illustrated
than in this controversy over the vice
Presidency. The close of the day finds the
Cleveland people of Indiana secretly allied
with the anti Cleveland faction In the at
tempt to prevent the nomination of Mr.
Gray The former are actuated by the de-
sire to prevent the ex. Governor gaining po-
litical supremacy in the State of Indiana,
and the latter are burning with desire for
revenge on the Gray people for consentlng
to turn over the entire vote OF Indiana TO
Grover Cleveland, when it was confidently
expected that the majority OF the Indiana
delegates would stand out to the last
against the denomination of the ex-Presi-
dent. It is said that the Cleveland people
OF Indiana favor the selection of Congress

following resolutions, which were adopt
ed by the conventions:
Whereas, Other questions have been present
ed for our consideration, we hereby submit the

the sentiment of this convention:
Resolved, That we demand free ballot and
a fair count in all elections, and pledge our
selves 10 secure it to every legal voter without
federal intervention through the adoption of
the states of the unperverted Australian OF

reduction of the burden of taxation now rest
ing upon the domestic industries of this coun-
try.
Resolved. That we pledge our support to fair
and liberal pensions to ex-Union soldiers and
sailors.
Resolved, That we condemn the fallacy OF

and criminal classes of the world and crowds
present ineffective laws against contract labor.
and demand the further restriction of unde-
sirabe emigration.
Resolved, That We cordially sympathize with
the efforts of organized workingmen to shorten
the hours of labor, and demand rigid en-
forcement Of the existing eight hour law on
government work and ask that a penalty
clause be added to the said law.
Resolved That we regard the maintenance

of large standing army OF mercenaries,
known as the Pinkerton system, as a menace
to our liberties, and we demand its abolition,
and we condemn the recent invasion of thu
territory of Wyoming by the hired assassins
of plutocracy, assisted by federal officials.
Resolved, That we commend to the favora-
BILE consideration of the people and to the re-
form press the legislative system known as the
initiative and referendum.
Resolved, That we favor a constitutional
provision limiting the offices of president and
vice president to one term and providing for
the election Of senators of the United States
by direct vote of the people.
Resolved, That we oppose any subsidy or ma
tional aid to any private corporation for any
purpose

analysis of the causes which have produced in:
creasing poverty amid increasing wealth, and
proves beyond the shadow OF doubt that the
results Of the continuation Of present social condi

George. Mr. Hubbard adds force and earnestness
born Of conviction of the extreme gravity Of the
situation.-Deadauood, S. D., Lndependenf.
II the Peoples Party should scatter a million
copies of Mr. Hubbard's work throughout the land,

every voter in the United States, and should be
read carefully and prayerfully. No book has ever
been published that will effect much good as
this one will. Reading its truthful pages will make
q good alliance man better one, and will stir up
the luke-warm to active work. 1t only costs 50

The moving, public life of the capital
has in it distinctive elements of gayety and
laziness. Commercial trucks and heavy
wagons are rare. This is not commercial
city. Carriages, public and private, are
abnormally numerous. The streets have a
gay clatter, but no rumble, solid, heavy,
gold laden, like that which marks the
streets of New York or Chicago. On the
public thoroughfare here you quickly catch
the idea that this is a city in which bust
ness is an incident and pleasure the chief
aspiration of life. Government employees
are easy going, and only from 9 to 4. They
set the pace for the remainder. That well
known Washington characteristic, the
bicycle, is more numerous before 9 and

THE DOME, THE STATUE AND THE STREET.
you may imagine the strangers within our
gates find much to amuse and interest
them. Visitors to Washington agree that
it is different from any other city in the
land, that it is in Thousand ways unique,
that it has an individuality among cities
which marks it as the most interesting of
all American municipalities. When one
comes to analyZe this common observation
he finds it TO be strikingIy true. Wash
ington has so many characteristics-ar
tectural, typographical, social, political,
mercantile-that one scarcely knows where
to commence description of them.
The first thing which irnpresses all WIS.,
itors here is the omnipotence, the omni-
presence of government. From the moment
one lands in the town-even before he
reaches the city hmits-he is reminded
that this is city of, by and for gov
eminent by the familiar yet always i'm
pressive spectacle of the great dome Of the
Capitol rising toward the clouds, capped
by the Goddess of Liberty. This dome ap-
pears to overshadow the town, to charac-
terize it, TO be huge seal set upon it so
that no one may ever forget he is in the
city of government. 1t is an odd fact
that no matter where you go in the District
of Columbia, or in nearby Virginia-miles
and miles away, it may be-this insignia
of political power is everywhere visible,
in ever varying perspective, through thou
sands of vistas, amid sunshine or clouds.
The dome has but one rival-the monu-
ment. One signifies power, the other his
tory. often imagine-and discover 9TH
ers do also-that the two open windows
which one sees away up there 500 feet
above the earth are the eyes of the past
looking down upon the present. Mr.. COT
fin, the artist who has lightly and skill
fully depicted for us in picture some of the
characteristics of the capital, appears to
have had this pair of eyes in mind. The
monument, with its peering orbs-two in
each of its four faces-you cannot get
away from except by absolute flight from
the vicinity of the District of Columbia.
One always finds it difficult to get away
from the past, even when he desires to
do so.
