many a long year before the peo-
pie, both visitors and Washington
ians, stop talking about the grand
affair and the royal good time
everybody had, for no person who
witnessed. the events of last week,
particularly the parade and the
reunions, can ever forget. The
veterans and their friends were
glad that they came to Washing
ton, but not. more so than were the
people of Washington.
General Dan Sickles, who was
Eone of the tammany delegates to
the Chicago convention, excited
much comment among his repub-
lican comrades at the encamp-
:tment by praising the soldierly
Qualities of Gen. Harrison, and
~ his laying particular stress
upon the fact that he fought for
the Union instead of hiring a sub
sfitute as Mr.. Cleveland did.
This, taken in connection with the
dislike which Gen. Sickles is
known to feel toward the demo
cratic nominee. caused the predic
ton to be frequently made that he
would be openly working for Har
rison and Reid; and and he is not
by any means the only democratic
member of the 6. A. R., who
t1islikes Mr.. Cleveland. Hundreds

WILLIAM STEVENSON, Denver

WILLIAM STEVENSON, Denver
gentleman, has said concerning
Colorado politics: .sThere has
been considerable talk about Col.
orado going for Weaver, not SO
much because the people of the
state take anv stock in Weaver or
his political heresies, but simply
to show the country that Colorado
voters are not tied to any party as
against the interest of their
state. But while Colorado is for
silver, it is mistake to suppose
that. all Coloradoans favor free
coinage of silver, and I think that
WheM the votes are counted after
election Colorado will show her
usual majority for Harrison. The
reason is this: Thinking men are
coming to the conclusion that Har-
risoa is the best friend of silver
after alE and that the only prac-
teal way to remonetize it is by
means of an international agree
tment,'

MELBOURNE, May 2.-The trial of
Deeming for the murder of his last
wife, former Miss Mather, of Rain
Hill, was resumed this morning. The
latest testimony for the prisoner was
that of DR.. Fishbourne, who was called
to give evidence as to the prisonerS's
sanity. He swore that he had ex-
amined Deeming and found symptoms
which indicated disease of the brain.
At this point the defense closed.
Mr.. Furlong, counsel for Deem
ing, summed up for the defense at
considerable length. He made insan.
ity the basis. Nature in her healthy
moods, he declared, could not have
made such monster. This man had
monomania for murder which was
not to be explained by the ordinary
tests. Counsel wound up with a
keen analysis of the testimony, which
he declared, showed at every steI
Deeming's irresponsibility. Deemins
was found guilty and sentenced t.
death.

Special 10 the State Chronicle.


SHELBY, n. c., May 2.-The
Democratic county convention met to-
day and it was the stormiest ever held
in Cleveland county. Ii was apparent
this morning that the struggle was for
supremacy between the third party men
and straight-out democrats. Several
offers of compromise from regulars
were refused. The convention was
called TO order by James l.. Webb.
chairman of the executive committee.
The fight arose over the report OF
the committee on credentials. After
A session of two and one half hours
the committee reported in favor cf
seating two regular delegates against
contesting third party delegation and
that in two other precincts there WAS
no representation, the delegation
having been sent by meeting
that refused TO support the
nominees and that on canvass Of votes
Holt and Sanderlin received an equal
number of votes and therefore recon
mended that the delegation TO Raleigh
be divided equally among friends of
each. This report was vehemently de-
bated for over two hours Ii Was
finally adopted by good majority.
Shortly after this unseated delegates,
together with portions of these other
. delegations withdrew and held a meet
ing of their own. The convention
was in the act Of choos-
ing ten Sandcrlil and ten holt
delegates when it was proposed by
one Of Holt's friends in order To
avoid the least appearance of unfair
ness three-fifths of the delegation be
given TO Sanderlin. This Was con-
tested, though harmoniously, by other
friends of Holt, but finally adopted.
Every delegate to Raleigh is a
straight-out Democrat, number be-
ing Alliancemen. One of the unseated
delegations was headed by Prof. J. III.
Quinn, the delegated elected TO But

nounced ST. Louis platform speech. Ii
