statement which | hoped would

"You refer to certain incidents of
the convention, as we'll as of the
period preceding it for several
months. They made no unpleasant
impressions upon me. Believing as
I do that free discussions of all pub
lie men and public measures are nee
essary in free government in order
to maintain it's full integrity, re-
gard discussion not only proper but
as essential.
Therefore many things said and
done in the heat of the convention
or in the discussions which immedia-
tely preceded it should, it seems to
me, be fairly attributable to interest
felt in the selection of the candi-
dates or to the diverse and adverse
opinions as to the question of avail

When the News of Stevenson's Nomi-
nation Came.
BUzzARD's BAY, Mass, June 25.-
Mr.. Cleveland evidently entertained
the impression today that ex-Gov.
Gray would receive the nomination
for Vice President. Advices from
Chicago, however, pointed in the
direction of Stevenson at an early
hour.
About half an hour before the
nominatish n was made, af er PEI =
ing long despatch from Chicago,
Mr.. Cleveland exclaimed:
at looks very much to me like
Gen. Stevenson
The details of the balloting were
received by Mrs. Cleveland. When
the final vote was announced the
ex President took the despatch out
on the east piazza and read it in
silence. What he may have thought
was an enigma, but his face was
like that of the sphynx.

permits wheel to be taken to pieces,
doubled up like a camera and trans
formed into gentleman's walking stick
and a small tourists bag, while the
solidity ami riGidity are the same as any

srribes it US follows:
"The whole Of the machine, wheels,
saddle, chain wheel, chain, handles, etc.,
is inclosed in walking stick aud tour
lists bag, The bag is the saddle itself.
and it encloses the pedals, chain wheel,
chain, handles, axles, and five pieces Of
the tubing, forming the frame. All the
remainder Of the machine is In the stick.
The stick is "a cents. long. A millms. IN
diameter. The advantages claimed for
the machine are as follows: ~ Tour
lists arc enabled to travel through all
kinds of districts, even mountainous
parts, for when they find the roads no
longer practicable, all they have to do is
to shut up their machines and go on foot
with their walking sticks and their bags

roads again when they can remount their
