RICHMOND, Va, May 19.-Cleveland and
anti Cleveland factions in the Democratic
convention met last night and each chose
delegates at large to the national conven-
ton. This morning, however, they got to-
gether and compromised by agreeing to
withdraw them all and allow the conven-
ton to choose two from each side.
Convention met at noon with John I.
Ryan as temporary chairman. The con-
gressi0nal districts had chosen nine dele
gates to the national convention for Cleve-
land and eleven against.
Marshal Hargen of Augusta, Cleveland
man, was re- elected permanent chairman,
according to the terms of the agreement
made this morning.
Marshall Hanger was elected permanent
chairman, his name being presented by an
anti-Cleveland candidate for the same posi-
ton. Holman Conrad and Il. 9. Kent were
chosen electors at-large. A recess was
then taken and at the evening session Judge
Ray explained the compact entered into be-
tween the Cleveland and anti-Cleveland
men and said it was done with the under
standing that the convention be allowed to
express it's choice for the candidates.
Therefore he moved that the resolutions
requiring all motions to be referred to the
committee without debate be rescinded
Bedlam relgned while Judge Ray was
speaking. He read the resolutions he pro-
posed 70 cffer which virtually endorsed
Cleveland as the choice of the convention.

lands supporter. The following delegates
at-large were then nominated by acclama-
ton:
John w. Daniel, S. F. Wexford Coroiu,
Basil B. Gordon and John Good. They
were equally divided for and against Cleve-
land. The platform opposes the cen

Fined for Wanting to Die.

PooATELLo, Ida, May 19.-TSpecisl tels-
gram to THE HERALD,-Last evening about
10 o'clock an employee Of the Union Pa
cific railway at this place named Hart
undertook to shuttle off this mortal coil
with the aid of razor. He succeeded in
decorating his throat near the iugular vein,
but was prevented from completing the
job. This morning District Attorney Win
ters had q complaint filed against Hart
charging him with attempting to commit
the crime OF suicide. When asked if he
wished to be sworn in his own behalf he
stated that he did not expect a heaven or
fear hell, and so he did not think it worth
while to take an oath. He was found
guilty and sentenced to sixty days in the
county Jail.

HamIIn Garland friday Night.

The next lecture on the Star entertain
ment course will be given by the distin-
guished and brilliant author and story
writer Hamlin Garland. To any reader of
the leading popular magazines Hamlin
Garland will need no Introduction. To any
one who keeps track Of the new and popu-
lar books of the day his name will be not
unfamiliar. His short stories and serials
have appeared of late in the Boston Arena
Mr.. Garland's writings combine literary
grace with deep and thrilling moral pur-
pose. He devotes himself earnestly to So
cial and economic reform, but he holds
high rank as an interpreter and critic of lit
erature and art. The lecture that may be
expected here will come under the latter
head. He also gives readings from his
books.
Mr.. Garland is a native of the great mid
die west, and writes of its most intimate
life and thought. The pathos of farm
drudgery, the poetry of farm landscap pes,
sunset and morning skies of our own
country, none have pictured so faithfully,
so touchingly as he. He is an impress
sionist in painting, a realist in the novel
and radical in life" is the comment of the
Boston papers. He will be here
Friday evening. He is now in Portland.
To hear such man in his
prime to see him face to face is an event in
ones life. Olympia, it is believed, will
honor itself by giving him a large and
complimentary audience.
