A NATIONAL FLowER.-The following
brief paper was read by Mr.. Il. 4. Swim
burn, at the last session Of the American
Association for the Advancement of Science;
Ii is suggested that the American Associa-
tion for the Advancement of Science, in the
absence Of q national flower. request the
management OF Columbian Exposition to
adopt the Cslumhins as the flower Of the fair
leaving the national flower, whatever it
proved tp be, t. krow in popularity. Its
name comes fsom the same root as Columbia
aame our country often bears; it is classed
with the Aguilegia or eagle variety, because
its petals end in spurs resembling the talons
Of an eagle, it grows in red white and
blue, our pational colors, il has FIVE I, umpet
shaped petals, corresponding to the five
points OF tho star upon cur flag, aud
these are grouped around a central shaft,
similar to The arrangement If the states

that is found in every part Of cur land,
growing even upon the R1cky Mountains,
and in the very heart of the country. II
is very appropriate in name, form aud
color. Its name suggests Columbia, and its
liberty cap, the head-dress Of Columbia, and
an exact copy of the cornucopia, the .ym6,l

some PROPOSED New MEAsURES.-Grcen-
vile, Nov. 15.-A bill has been pre-.
pared, and will be introduced in the Leg
is'aiure by . member from this county, re-
4uiriug County Commissioners to take charge
of and feed prisoners in ibe county Jail. II
is claimed that it is a 'retrshchment and re-
form" measure. Advocates of the measure
say that sheriffs are now raid thirty cents
day for fee ling prisoners, when it does not
cost over len cents a day. Tie Commission
srs, it is claimed, can buy f.od by The whole
sale. and probably keep the prisoners for
less than ten cents dny.
Representative-elsct Shuman will intro
ducs bill, which he has already drawn up,
establishing County Court for Greenville,
and it is not improbable that a bill making
Crunty Couits all over the State will be
passed.
The bill for this county provides for
judge at 81, 900 year salary, and prose
cutting attorney at $500. The regular grand
jury is to consider indictments, and jurors
will be d. avn rs usual. The court will have
jurisdiction Of oil criminal cases except
mu, der, arson, burglary, rape, and q few
other serious crimes. Ii will ais, he,r civil
cases. The conrt will be run very much as
the Circuit Courts, and tho terms will be
held evory other month.
There are so many provisions Of the bill
that it is almost impossible 10 give all of
them. Tho judge and prosecuting attorney
are TO be elected by the people, and their

NE LACKS BUT SEVEN.
Mr.. Whitney Does Some Remarkably Close
Einnrinn

figuring.
CHICAGO, June 20.-An informal caucus
Of the Cleveland leaders was held at ex-
Secretary Whitney's rooms this afternoon.
After careful examination of all the figures
il was announced that there were 500 dele
gates who will go into the convention to-
morrow undoubtedly for Cleveland, and
that SO more were probably for him, max
ing total of 592 on the first ballot, or with
in seven votes OF q nomination. Whitney
stated that before the total of $50 had been
reached every doubtful element had been
eliminated, and that no man was counted
who was not certainly Cleveland dele
gate. 1t is understood that the 36 doubt
fuP' delegates are to be seen during the
evening by some representative Of the
caucus. Mr.. Whitney called upon the
friends Of Cleveland to see to 1t that the
seven necessary votes were secured before
the convention opened tomorrow.
During the deliberations of the caucus
Whitney stated that be understood that
Gray had been advised not to permit his
name to go before the convention for the
Presidency, and while Gray had not been
heard from, he was satisfied his name would
not be presented. Whitney also stated that
no pledge had been given the Gray men.
although the logic of the situation would
naturally bring the Vice-Presldency to In
diana.
1t was also stated 1t the caucus that Cor
man would not be candidate. and that he
was even willing to nominate or to second
Cleveland's nomination.
Another member OF the caucus had in
hand what he said was the anti-Cleveland
poll, which claimed 372 votes in the

One thing, perhaps, he has done for
which be is deserving Of a great deal Of
credit, and that is TO sbate the bitterness
which at one time promised to be an I'M
portant factor in the fight. 1t was he who
sent word to Dick Croker of Tammany to
tell his followers 10 cease the personal
abuse Of Mr.. Cleveland which they had
been indulging in. Croker. like the good
lieutenant which he is. issued the orders at
once, and for the last "a hours not one word
Of an ugly nature has been heard about the
ex-President At the same time the Cleve-
land men, while fight ing Hill with might
and main, have carefully abstained from
personal attacks, and the fight has been
conducted on the most pleasant basis.

further, and they are ready to fall in. The
fact is that things have dritted so far and
the Cleveland fight has gained ground so
rapidly that he cannot, except by the most
sensational and unexpected developments,
be beaten.
10 other words, he has leadpipe cinch on
the convention and Is carrying it around in
his pocket.
The California delegation held a caucus
this afternoon and decided to name NJ. +.
Tarpey for National committeeman. They
also recommended the following to serve on
the committees: Credentials, w. w. F0ote

Their rooms were crowded from morning
till night, and they were pronounced the

their strength has dwindled down from AZ to

IT IS PLAIN SAILING.
All Obstacles Have Been Swept From the Path
of CieYeGnd.

CHICAGO, June 20.-As the hours 60 by
and the time for the opening of the cOnyen-
tion draws near, it becomes mora and more
evident that the field is going to pieces.
German IS wearing smile of confidence
in Cleveland, and Palmer and Morrison,
who never did amount to much any way, so
far as the present situation is concerned,
have suddenly concluded that they are not
Of much account in the way of Presidential
timber. aud after rolling up their sleeves
have fallen to work to help boost up the
Cleveland boom.
The boom is pretty healthy, and has a
way of its own Of standing up Unaided
but Palmer and Morrison imagine that they
are helping it, and Whitney is willing to
allow them to keep up the delusiOn. Nor
rison has always Jared pretty well at the
hands Of the party, and has had some fat
snaps in his day in the way of political pick
ings and he is probably looking around for
future favors
Then, OF course, Palmer. whose whiskers
have been the admiration Of the Democracy
OF Illinois ever since he Topped over from
the Republican party. is a Senator by the
grace of God and a scratch, and he is look
ing out for a chance to take care Of his
Sucker constituency. If, 10 an evil day, Cleve-
land should chance to 90 back 10 the White
House.
They, ike the rest. have the same old
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1892-06-21

long into political ruin. I'll tell you just
exactly where the trouble is. The men who
are making the fight against Cleveland are
political towards. German is an able poll
tieian and man of great shrewdness, but
he is timid and fears that in the event Of
Cleveland's nomination, in spite OF his Op
position, he would be left out in the cold
when II came to the distribution of patron
age.
''Brce is in the same position. and while
cherishing a bitter enmity against the ex-
President he is afraid to make an open
fight.
Campbell Is playing wal ting game, and
Boies thinks he has every chance to secure
second place on the ticket. Between fear
and cupidity the opposition TO Cleveland
amounts TO nothing. In other words, it is
Cleveland against the scattering votes, with
the scattering votes unorganized. Anybody
who knows anything at all about politics
can figure out what the result will be with
out the aid of pen or pencil"
For two days there has been a persistent
rumor to the effect that Senator Hill was in
the city. II is absolutely without founda-
tiou. Private kilograms sent TO Washing
ton last night elected the fact that the Sem
atOr was at the Arlington Hotel, and did
not intend 10 come to Chicago. All stories
to the contrary are without foundation in
fact 1t is said, however. that he is direct
ing his canvass from Washington person
ally, and that before the first ballot is taken
word may come from him which may mate
rally change the whole situation.
In fact there is reason to suppose he has
already discovered that he has not chance
for the nomination, and that Cleveland is
almost certain to win in.spite Of all Opp0si-
tion. To so shrewd a politician as Hill
there would be nothing more natural than
to accomplish a master stroke by throwing
his strength to the ex-Presideat. This
would regain to him all the prestige which
he has lost by his systematic opposition.
and would endear him once more to the
hearts of the Democracy. Hill is broad
enough 10 overcome his feelings and take a
step Of this kind. Some of his friends have
urged him to do so, and are claiming that lie

About 9:30 o'clock q night keeper while

from the doctors cell. His bed was inn

DR.. Pynchon worked for three hours, but
his efforts were futile, and at II 80 Scudder
died without having recovered conscious

CHICAGO, June 20.-Between 0 and 10
O'clock tonight representatives from all the
State delegations assembled at the Richie
lieu Hotel, At II 80 o'clock the meeting,
which had been held behind closed doors,
was disbanded. The result as then given
out by ex-Secretary Whitney was regarded
throughout the hotel centers as marking
practically the end Of the struggle as. to
who shall be the nominee. 1t certainly ends
all doubt as to the organization of the con-
ventiOn aud the strength of Cleveland as de-
veloped in the meeting will scarcely be dis

That strength is, by the figures. shown to
be sufficiently great to end the contest rs to

Immediately after the meeting ex-Secretary
Whitney said: In view of the situation
as it is now known to exist, there will be
no contest for the temporary chairmanship,
which means that W. G. Owens Of Kentucky
