who declared it was Boies' wish as
well as that of the delegation that the
governor be non-considered for the
vice presidency.
John g. Ray OF Kentucky, seconded
Stevenson's nomination because he
understood him to believe ITO the
victors belong the spoils," and that
there were honest and competent men
enough in the Democratic party to fill
all offices.
Edward F. Uhl then arose to pre-
sent Michigan's candidate, Allen B.
Morse, Democratic lawyer who had
shattered the Republican majority in
Michigan defeating Thomas M.
Cooley, one of the foremost jurists of
the time. He pledged to the Demo.
cracy nine of Michigan's electoral
votes and offered more if her son was
nominated for vice president. He
spoke at length of his record as law.
yer, legislator and jurist and said his
share in the battles of the war was no
mean one.
New York sat silent while North
Carlonina following seconded the
nomination of Stevenson. Tennessee
seconded Gray, Texas and Virginia
standing up for the Illinoisan. Wash.
ington backed Gray for winner md
then E. S. Bragg of Wisconsin put in
nomination Jno. s. Mitchell of
Milwaukee, a man Eminent
in peace, brave in war,
sound in his Democracy, trusted by
all who know him and worthy to be
trusted by all those even though they
do not know him, that claim the name
of Democrats.
The storm on the outside has been
growing fercer all the time and TAX
ing advantage of an interruption
caused by thunder's roar the Pennsyl-
vania delegation gathered around its
leader, w. A. Hinchell, and sang the
following starter for campaign song:
Grover, Grover, four more years of Grover,
In he goeS-out they go
Then we'll be in clover.
No response was heard from Wy
oming, Alaska. Arizona or the District
of Columbia.
New Mexico, through j. S. Fielder,
seconded the nomination "of one OF
the best men and truest Democrats in
all the world-Isaac P. Gray of In

gia, on behalf of the soldiers of the
souh, seconded the nomination of
Morse of Michigan, as did also j. H.
King of Alabama.
The chairman then said:
"Gentlemen-Fourn names have been
presented to the convention as candi"
dates for the nomination for the vice
presidency. They are the names of
Isaac p. Gray of Indiana, Adlai E.
Stevenson of Illinois, Allen B. Morse
Of Michigan, and John l.. Mitchell of
Wisconsin,. The secretary will call
the roll.n
Alabama pumped her entire dele
cation into the basket for Morse. Col
orado wanted candidate who would
take the party in out of the wet, and
so voted for Stevenson. Iowa voted
for that Democrat of Democrats
Henry Watterson. Down the roll it
went with, ut incident until Montana
was reached, when two new candi-
dates were sprung-W. Bourke Coch-
ran, who got 8 votes, and Lambert
Pree, who got l. When New
York was reached Governor Flower
cast 70 votes for Stevenson
and amid tremendous cheering the
Illinois delega lQ,I attempted to STAN
pede the convention. 1t was failure,
for the chair held the delegates down
with his gavel, and they subsidized.
North Carolina trailed in for Steven
son. Ohio followed suit, Pennsylvania
coming in with 81 for Gray, II for Ste
venson, 6 for Morse and for Mitchell.
AS the balloting proceeded it was seen
that Gray and Stevenson wee lead
ers, and as each candidate showed up
with large number of votes the an
nourcement was greeted with yells.
So the bal'oting went on through the
list of the states.
Scarcely had the roll been COM
pleted when Iowa gained the floor
and changed her twenty-six votes 70

THE FIGHT is on.

The leaders of the two great parties
having been chosen, the real battle
will now begin. People who think
that the fighting is done on election
day are very much mistaken. 1t is
really all finished before that time. 1t
should be the policy of the Demo-
cratic party from the closing of the
nominating convention to the closing
of the polls to work harder, more
quietly and more persistently than it
has ever done before. If the party is
ever to win, it can win this year. If
it fails this year, it will be its own
fault, and it will deserve nothing but
failure hereafter. Its chosen leader is
the one man who is near to the hearts
of the people and who has their fullest
confidence. lie is the representative
of pure Democracy and an honest
government, and he is opposed
to the spoils system ana
measures like the force
bill, which strike at the very heart OF
the South. Yet with all these reasons
for making a vigorous nd earnest
fight, very many men who call them
selves Democrats, will, if they are not
constantly "stirred up" prove them
selves indifferent about the final re-
suit by neglecting their duty as Ameri-
can citizens and absolutely remaining
away from the polls. Any man who
thus wilfully abandons his party to
its fate is recreant to the trust impos-
ed in him when he was given the right
of suffrage. He does not deserve the
privilege of citizenship. 1t is a well
known fact that the Democratic party
has suffered more defeats through the
indifference of its own members than
through the strength of the other side.
The STATESMAN therefore urges that
every Democrat go into this fight
with energy and enthusiasm, and help
Texas roll up such a majority for
Cleveland and Stevenson as was never
heard of in Texas even, the state OF
"beastly Democratic majorities."

times. 1t was one o'clock before the
sun appeared to lend even an air of
cheerfulness to the great barracks.
About two o'clock the dissolvin eau
cuses of various delegations was evil
denced by steady current of dele
gates settling toward the hall. Then
commenced revelations of combina-
tions and purposes to filling second
place.
1t early transpired that Bourke
Cochran had insisted on the New
York delegation going for Stevenson
of Illinois. Boies, too, had his sup
porters and so did Mitchell of Wis
consin and Morse of Michigan. An
effort was made by telegraph to Sc
cure Boies' consent to taking second
place, but no answer had been re-
ceived up to the time of the assem-.
bling of the convention Gov Flower
as he came in Remarked: 1.-The Cleye-'
land men made a bargain with Gray,
understand, and now they are sorry
for it and are trying to back out"
| Following this came an intimation
from Lieutenant Governor Sheehan
that Tammany had decided to sup
port Ste venson. Springer of Illinois
was manager Of the Stevenson forces,
and before the convention met had
long conference with Croker,
Cochran and Others in further
ance of his campaign for
the Illiuoisan. Texas too concluded
to support Stevenson, while Ohio did
| the same. Iowa decided TO compli'
ment Henry Watterson with her rs
votes, and so it went through the
long list o: states. each one swinging
one way or the other until it seemed
there would be no more of contest
over the tail than the head of the
ticket. 1t was $50 before the 900 dele
gates, faded, sweaty, languid with a
whisky-and-apollin look on their
faces were called to order by Chair
man Wilson, who introduced Rev.
Thomas Green of Iowa, who in his
address asked the Throne of Grace
to speed the peoples cause and
bring to pass that those
elected to preside over the destinies
of the great nation be true to the
motto 90 ublic office is public trust"
An attempt at applause of the utter.
ance was promptly suppressed, and
the divine, continuing his prayer,
asked that the gathering might ask
for him benediction for duty rightly
done.
The chairman announced that the
next order of business was the nomi,
nation of candidate for the office OF
vice president of the United States
and directed the clerk to call the roll
At the suggestion of Mr.. Potter OF
Tennessee, nominating speeches were

Arkansas yielded to Indiana and
John E. Lamb of the Hoosier state
took the stand to present the name Of
Governor Gray. In short speech Of
eulogy he declared that Gray could
make assurance doubly sure, and that
Indiana, Democratic though sheright

cast her vote for Grover Cleveland

from Williamson county, and the last
three Judges which we have had were
residents of Williamson county WHOM
they commenced to hold office IN THIS
district. Judge Robertson was elect
ed district attorney for his first term
from Williamson county, ana
afterwards moved here. Judge
Townes resided in Williamson county
when he became judge and moved
here. Judge Key was selected
from Williamson county and
then moved to Austin, and
it is safe to say if Williamson county's
present candidate for judge were
elected he be compelleu W
move here or remain away from his
home at this place three-fourths OF his
time. The same was true of the dis
trict attorney elected from there. He
was compelled to move to Austin.
Under this system Williamson would
always elect the judge and then
charge him up as resident OF Travis
county and be without such offlcer
and in good claiming condition at the
neat election. At the last judicial
convention to nominate a judge,
Williamson with minority OF votes
in the judicial convention, locked the
convention for it's candidate until
over seven hundred ballots were
taken and finally the majority
yielded to the minority. There is no
question but the district received
good Judge as the result, but can this
habit of the minority ruling the ma
jority in this district continue? The
STATESMAN thinks not. The choice
of Travis county for judge should be
adhered to by Travis county at once.

HIGH WATERS IN ILLINOIS.
The City of Galena Under Water and the
Streets Rushing Torrents.

GALENA, ILL.,, June 24.-The terrific
rain which fell Wednesday night and
yesterday, proved the most disastrous
of any storm ever before experienced
in this locality. The Galena river
rose at the rate of an inch a minute.
The main streets last night at O'Clock
were rivers, and rowboats were resort
ed to as the only means of crossing the
streets and obtaining entrances into
some buildings. The Easements and
lower floors Of every house in town
were flooded with deep water. The
Green street bridge was carried off
and completely demolished. Land
slides nbstruct all railroads. Seven
miles of Northwestern track were
washed away. The amount of dam
age cannot be estimated. Similar re-
ports come from Rockford and other
towns

was so wholly unexpected that scarce

He was located as first assistant post

a practical werker in politics from
away back.
