appeared. amid vociferous applause, thank
ed the convention, and promised to vote Tor
Grover Cleveland. Hon. B. F. Martin alone
was proposed for delegate-at-large and was
unanimously elected. He responded to the
calls of the delegates with an eloquent
speech. VIM. G. Brown, of Preston, Geo.
w. Harrison, of Mineral, and Geo. W. Yo-
cum, Of Randolph, were nominated for al
ternates to the district delegates, and Brown
and..Yocum were chosen. The liveliest con-
test of the day was over the election of an
alternate-at-large Ed. Russell, of Harrl-
sou. was put in nomination by DALEY, of
Mineral and j. C. Holmes, Of Jefferson,
was proposed by the Hardy delegation. At
first Russell seemed to have the inside track,
but a suspicion got abroad tina; he had Hill
ish tendencies and there was a stampede
to Holmes, who received the deserved COM
pliment by large majority.
TURNER OF GEORGIA.
The business of the convention having
been disposed of, the chairman introduced
Hon. Henry G. Turner, of Georgia, men,
Der of the ways and means committee of
the House of Representatives, and account
ed one of the most brilliant men in Con-
gress. Mr.. Turner asserted that the exist
ing depression in business was not due to
an insuficiency of the circulating medium,
and, in support of the statement, recalled
the prosperous period Of 1860, when the
per capita Of currency was little more than
one-half what it is at present. He laid the
blame of the hard times on the high prices,
congested wealth and restricted markets of
our tariff system and gave a brief but strong
talk on the great issue Of the day-remind-
ing his hearers that, however divided on
other and minor questions, Democrats from
end to end of the country were united for
tariff reform. There was much humor in
the address, and the peroration was eloquent
and stirring. At the conclusion the con-
vention adjourned sine die.

secretaru BIaime Resigns.

The political sensation and surprise Of
the season came on Saturday, when Hon.
James G.. Blaine set at rest the uncertainty
as to his intentions with respect to the pres
idential nomination by sending to the Pres
ident the following very curt letter of res
iguation:
Department of State, Washington, June 1,
1892. 1915 p. m. To the President: l re-
spectfully beg leave to submit my resigna--
ton of the office of Secretary of State OF
the United States, to which | was appoint
ed by YOU on the 9th Of March, 1889. The
condition of public business in the Depart
ment of State justifes me in requesting that
my resignation may be accepted immediate
ly. | have the honor to be, very respect
fully, your obedient servant,
JAMES G.. BLAINE.
After receiving the letter, President Har-
rison held his usual Saturday afternoon re-
ception, and, having shaken hands with
the two hundred people present, re-
turned to his library and replied to Mr..
Blaine as follows:
Executive Mansion, Washington, June 4,
1892. To the Secretary of State: Your
letter of this date rendering your resigna-
ton of the Office of Secretary of State OF
the United States has been received. The
terms in which you state your desire are
such as to leave me no choice but TO accede
to your wishes at once. Your resignation
is therefore accepted. Very respectfully
yours, BENJAMIN HARRISON
Hon James G.. Blaine.
Mr.. Blaine's action is denounced by the
Presidents friends as political treachery
and is regarded as characteristic of the
man and of his style of politics.

Opinions vary as to the propriety and
probable consequences Of the New York
snti-Hill convention, which met at Syracuse
last week and elected consesting delega-
ton to Chicago, but Endorsed the electoral
ticket nominated by the SNAP convention
Of February Many Democrats who SYM
pathize with the protest against Hill and
his midwinter convention think the so-called
boilers went too far in eiecting a new set of
delegates 20 the national convention, that
Clevslands prospect for the nomination
will be injured by their action, and that tho
effort to form a new party organization viii
be dangerous to Democratic success. The
protesting Democrats say, however, that the
only way to get their protest before the
convention was to contest the seats of the
Hill delegates They probably DO not
expect the convention TO seat the contestants.

were either burned or drowned Titusyille
was similarly visited fire broke out in re-
fnerjes at various points along Oil creek

current, spreading the flames beyond con-
troll. Scores of lives were lost by burning
or drowning. Two hundred lives are be-
