man and s. P. Sheerin of Indiana permanent
secretary. The name OF Hon. F. G. du-
Bignon Of Georgia was presented for

Bignon appeared before the commit
tee and explained that the presentation

men were voted for, however, and Mr.
Wilson. evidently having decided major
ity, his election was made unanimous on
motion of Mr.. duBignon's friends without

HARRISON PRESENTED DU BIGNoN.
CHICAGO, June 81, 11:30 p. M.-The
young democracy received handsome rec
oguition to-day at the meeting of the COM
mittee on permanent organization. The
only name presented other than William l..
Wilson for the distinguished honor Of per-
manent chairman was that Of Hon. f. G..
duBignon OF Georgia. Without any pre-
arranged programme George Z, Harrison.
the committeeman for Alabama, pluced in
nomins tion the name Of Mr.. duBignon,
aud suggested that it would be
graceful recognition of the claims of the
younger element in the party to select one
from lts number. The nomination was at
once seconded by n. G. Ridenour of Iowa.
Mr.. duBiRnon, learning of the movement
in his behalf, rushed to the committee
room and protested against the preseuta-
tion OF his name. Despite his protests the
states of Alabama, Florida, Colorado, Mon
tana, Iowa, South Carolina, New York and
Illinois cast their vote in favor of recogni-
tiou of the youthful clement

fused it."
Mr.. Mckenzie, whom Mr.. Watterson pro-
posed for the place, was unanimously
elected. Mr.. Watterson considered his APP
pointment especially appropriate, he being
an original Cleveland man, which amounts
to great deal"
WILL SUPPORT THE TICKET.
Mr.. Watterson explained that his refusal
TO serve on the committee had, only in the
indirect way above explained, any relation
TO his disapproval of Mr.. Cleveland's nomi-
nation. III Mr.. Cleveland Is nominated
no one will support the ticket more
heartily than | shall.n He continued: 'I
am his friend; not mis- enemy. I came here
for peace, not for war. But am not the
man who ought to place Mr. Cleveland
upon his own platform, and l cannot con-
sent to be party to placing him on plat
form stultitytng him as TO record. As | said,
Mr.. Cleveland is a platform to himself.
Both his personality and his opinions ara
unacceptable. and even IL we desired to
straddle the silver issue he could not mount
or ride our straddle with grace or safety"
wATTERsoN's OFFER.
Mr. Watterson stated that he had offered
his colleagues that If they would pass a reso-
luton instructiug him to vote 20 embody
Mr., Cleveland's great tariff message Of 1887
and his famous anti-silver OF 1891 into the
platform he would go upon the COMMITTEES
and do his best to serve the party and coun-
try. This the delegation very properly aud
wisely declined to do, and there the matter
ended Mr.. Watterson stated that the meet
ing had in every way been harmonious, in
fact veritable Cleveland love feast

ton, however, he concluded "If Gov.
Boies' name Is presented my vote shall be-
cast for that gentleman IL no other name

balance Of the Kentucky delegates will do,
but certainly Mr.. Casselmau's claims that

ness met In the afternoon and intrusted its
work TO the hands of q subcommittee OF
seven members, OF which A. L. Clarity Of
Missouri was made chairman. The sub
committee was In session for over four
hours, having discovered that there were
in existence no rules of preceding conven-
tions, and proceeded TO formulate a full
set. With the rules of the
present House of Representa-
tives as basis they made complete set Of
rules which will be presented to the oon-
vention tomorrow. There are no radical
changes over previous convention methods,
and 1t Is probable that the report will be at
onos adopted and reported TO the conven-
tion. The committee was much interested
to learn that the last few rules adopted by
the democratic national convention were
adopted in 1859.
At late hour ii is learned that the sub.
committee on rules passed a resolution de-
claring against the unit rule after o pro>
longed and heated discussion. Messrs. Har-
rity aud Whitney assert with confidence
that when the full committee meets the ac-
tion of the subcommittee will be overruled,
and that the unit rule will still hold sway
when the ballot is taken.

the Hlll men, that they preferred to be run
over, but they too, are expected TO get on

lug booms Is that their managers have got

to do on the first ballot, for it is now evil
dent that there will be no second ballot The

second ballot. The delegates are impatient
even OF the nominating speeches, brief as
they are promised to be, with Leon Albeit,
who was to deliver New Jersey and Daniel
Webster VOORHEES,, who was to deliver In
diana to Senator Hill as the democratic
stars which caught Mr. Whitney's keen man
agerial eye. 1t is natural enough that the
talk of Mr.. Murphy and few others like
him should be almost as bitter
about Gov. Albeit, Senator Voor-
hees, Senator German, ex-Gov. Gray and
the others. whom they accuse Of having de-
serted to the enemy, as it is about Mr..
Cleveland himself. Never before were 30
many Of the bosses OF both the great parties
caught in the same month in the same kind
of trap.

CHICAGO. June 2l.-Heury Watterson is
the source of many surprises, and to-day
was not permitted to pass without Wat
tersonian sensation. When the Kentucky
delegation assembled this morning they were
informed Dy the brilliant Kentuokian that
he must decline absolutely to serve as
Keutucky's representative on the COM

the place. Mr.. Watterson, when ap-
preached by an Associated Press reporter
for an explanation of his action, made the
following explanations:

CHICAGO, I'LL, June 81, 10 p. M.-The
New York caucus held this morning at the
Auditorium developed little that was new,
save only that Mr.. Cleveland did not seem
to the representatives OF New York to have
the necessary two-tbirds Of the convention
which would secure his nomination. 10
was proposed that Senator Hills name
should not be- presented at the wigwam aud
that the whole strength Of the anti -Cleve-
land forces should be concentrated upon
Gov. Boies. Mr.. Croker is under-
stood to have opposed this resolution
and TO have asked the meeting to come
to no conclusion until Senator Hill had been
directly heard from, as he would be some
tune to-day. This was finally agreed upon
and committees were appointed to see the
Iowa and Maryland delegations and TO in
vite them to further conference at the
auditorium this evening. Until that meet-
ing is held nothing will be definitely decided
upon, but it is stated on what seems good
authority that Senator Hill's name will not
be presented and that New Yorks seventy
two votes will 90 TO Gov. Boies on the first
ballot
AN INTERESTING SITUATION.
CHICAGO, June 81, IL P. M.-An interests
ing situation is developing In the TammanS
delegation Tonight. A diffs ence Of opln-
ion has orlseu among the leaders as to the
wisest policy for Tammany to pursue in
view OF the overwhelming sentiment devel-
oped In the democratic convention in favor
OF the nomi1 cation of ex-President Cleve-
land. Richard Croker ia reported
as having taken a positive position
in favor of friendly understands
ing with the Cleveland leaders and
1t is alleged that he is eAdeavoring TO per-
suade Edward Murphy and William Shee-
han, Senator Hll's leutenants Of the wis
dom Of prevailing on their chief to harmon
ze the differences in New York in the in
terests Of the Tammany organization.
Many Of the leading Hill men outside OF
New York are wiring Senator Hill TO the
same effect tonight. but as yet the senator
maintains an uncompr0mising position.

Messrs. Croker, Murphy and Cochran are
now ready and willIag to cast their votes for
tie eK-President, but an unexpected diffi-
Guilty has been found in the tenn

who say they propose 70 vote
against Mr.. Cleveland as long as his name 1s
before the convention. In fact the magnifi-
cent discipline which seemed TO rule Tam
many on its coming to Chicago has
disappeared and the leaders frankly admit
that they can no longer control

Weekly Review OF Trade says: Condition

greater than in any previous year. At
Soston trade is good, prospects are con-
idered excellent, and money is easy at

and though woollen goods are quiet, the
mills are well employed, while sales OF
cotton are very large, with an advance
and groceries are in satisfactory demand.
Inc condition OF the great industries is
decidedly favorable. Perhaps the boot

losing another has already begun, many
