of great crop would help the Demo-
cratic ticket. But the foods ceased the
last week of May, and dry and sunny
days have worked marvellous change.
In ten days the outlook was reversed.
Millions of acres of corn were planted
during the first days of June, and. IN

were flooded May 25 are now covered
with the verdure of rapidly growing
corn. The wheat, which threatened

set by a very Republican Juno. If the
days of rain-storm and chill were Dem

are Republican days; and the Juno days
seem to have eclipsed those of May,
therefore it seems a Republican year.

THE Washington Post publishes a
card from Senator Voorhees, highly eu-
logistic of Governor Gray. Mr.. Voor-
hees says:
When Blue Jeans" Williams defeated
Benjamin Harrison for Governor of Indi-
ana in 1876 Gray was on the victorious
ticket for Lieutenant-governOr.a and from
that hour TO this be has mover been behind
in a Democratic vote or in Democratic
fight.
The Senator is mistaken. From that
hour to this Governor Gray has always
been behind in a Democratic vote. It
is true he was elected Lieutenant-gov-
ernor on the ticket with "Blue Jeans"
Williams, but Mr.. Williams received
213,16 votes to 211.976 for Gray. In
1884, when Gray ran for Governor, he
received several hundred votes less
than most of the other candidates on
the Democratic ticket.

When the Hebrews were in bondage to

THE New York Times points out that
the two thirds rule can be suspended
by tho Chicago convention. Having
been in force since the first Democratic
convention which nominated Vice
president in May, 1882, and sustained in
1856 when Douglas desired its abroga-
ton, it is not probable that it will be
ignored at Chicago in 1899 by a majority
of the delegates.

SOME fears are entertained regarding
the safety of the wigwam in which the
Democratic national convention will
meet at Chicago. 1t is being built for
the single purpose of housing the con-
vention, and will be torn down imme-
diatcly afterwards, and. as 1t Is being
built by contract. it follows that the
contractor will build it at the least ex-
pense possible. The original plans con-
templated a canvas roof, and the
foundation and framework were de-
signed with this in view. Within few
days it has been decided to put on q
wooden roof, iron trussod and covered
with tar and gravel. AS this weight
was not taken into account in the orig
inal plans it Is feared the framework
may not stand it. 1t is probable, how
ever, that Chicago architects will find a
way to make the building safe. There
is more danger of the party platform
breaking down than of the convention
building.

TURN IN CLBVBLAND,s TIDE,

Ten days ago there was quite general
impression that Mr.. Cleveland would
have O serene walk-over at Chicago. He
had vanQuished the Hill crowd in Geor-
gia, Tennessee, Connecticut and New
Jersey, and, thereafter, it was only
question relating to the number the
Cleveland band-wagon could hold. The
very gushing and overimaginative
Cleveland idolaters predicted that
David B. Hill would go to tho conven-
ton to present the name of Grover
Cleveland" The past few days. events
must have come roughly In collision
with this harmonious stlebuiiding.
The careful statement which Chairman
Murphy, of tho regular Democratic COM
mittee of New York. gave ont to the press
at Chicago. Thursday. contains no note Of
harmony. If the leaders of the two
New York factions have not been loudly
quarreling the past two months they
have been nursing their wrath and ven
geance. And there are others there or
on the way. Brice is there to fight
Cleveland, and 80, in fact is Governor
Campbell. Voorhees, is not there for
his health or in the expectation of put
ting Gray in either place, for which he
is SO conspicuous misfit, but to "down"
Cleveland. Vest, so hot for Cleveland
few weeks ago, Is now on his way to
Chicago to lay him out. WattersOn,
whose voice for long time was warn
ing against Cleveland, is there to assist
in rallying the force that will seek to
prevent the nomination OF the ex-Presi-
dent.
Will oil these party bosses be able to
prevent Mr.. Cleveland's nomination.
If he does not have thirds on the
second ballot the minority will probably
accomplish its purpose. No level
headed man believes that he can get
thirds on the first ballot. Further
more, there are good reasons to believe
that the delegations outside of New
York will waver when, day after day, it
is demonstrated to them that Mr.. Cleve-
land cannot carry New York. AS it
looks now, Mr.. Cleveland is stronger to-
day than he will be tomorrow. There
may come q change, but the first onset
at Chicago IS unfavOrabie to Mr.. Cleve-
land.
