CLEvELAND AND STEVENSON.

The Democratic convention somewhat
unexpectedly nominated Stevenson OF Hi
nois IN place Of Gray Of Indiana, who had
been slated for the place. Probably the
relative merits Of the two men had less to
do with the change than the apparent
chance of gaining State by the Vice
Presidential nomination. Senator Palmer
is on the record as predicting that Illinois
would choose Democratic electors, and it
may be that he wanted Viee-President
from that Stale to help him cut. Gray of
Indiana has been talked of for some years
as a Presidential possibility. Now that he
has tried for second piacs and been de-
feated less will be heard about him in the
future. To Republicans who recall! the old
time majorities of illinois the Democratic
hope Of carrying that State seems very slen-
der But at the State election in 1890 VIII
son, for State Treasurer, had a majority
over his Republican opponent The vote
stood 331 S37 for Wilson to 321. 800 for
Amberg. In a Presidential year, however,
the Republicans are expected to do better.
Another difficulty has arisen in Wyoming
through trouble between the authorities of
Sheridan County and the military power.
Certain cavarymeu. who made an attack
upon the town Of Suggs and killed a citizen.
have been requisitOped for trial, and the
general In charge does not think the lives of
soldiers safe there under any conditions OF
civil procedure. Evidently the degree of
exacerbation in Wyoming is such that no
man respects another save along the line Of
a shotgun. 1t viii take long time to heal
these differences between rustlers and ranch
men as to the product OF pastures unfenced
and the value Of stock unbranded.
The anarchist Rayaeho has been con-
demned TO death for the vulgar crime of
murder ASSOCIATED from the assump-
lively superior crime Of war upon the state.
This criminals principles have been estsb-
lished in their true light. He is only brute
let loose 10 war upon society, and TO take
advantage of whims of popular feeling to
paint himself IN patriotic gulse benehclently
modelled to reform society. President
Carnot will no doubt be wise enough not TO
save this man from the guillOtine some
morning at daybreak. The wretch is emil
nent enough TO deserve the attention of as
IiOtOus 2 crowd as usually assemblies in front
OF the Place ROquette al sunrise and posi-
bly, the demonstration may cool the dyna-
mite ardor Of vast numbers OF queer gentry
who are hayward.
a circular has been issued by the Traffic
establishment Of competing clipper and
steamship lines between New York and
San Francisco aud recommending support
and cooperation as against the old estab-
lisbed lines. 1t is simply question of BUSH
ness. The old lines have deserted from
their allegiance to local interests and have,
as it were. created instruction in the
minds of business men Trust is destroyed
in this friendship of the past and new enter
prises deserve TO be encouraged. Only by
competition can the ancient orpressOTs of
this coasts haTd-wOn advantages be brought
TO terms. The thing that every business
man should insist upon is competition along
every outlet and route Of transportation.
Record breaking is a fayorite pastime OF
speculation with the newspaper editor. a
Judge in Tennessee has probably carried OFF
the palm of distinction in disrosing of
divorce cases. There seems TO have been a
pretty thick crop Of them in his neighbOr-
hood. and he weeded the ground most in
dustriously by dIsposing of Ill cases in two
hours and 80 minutes. Upon which he no
doubt retired and ate a good dinner, I'M
