WATTERSON CONVERTED.

The Valiant Colonel Sees the Error oil his
WAY and Comes Nobly to the Front for
the Leader-Kentucky Follows Him en-
masse.
CHICAGO. June 21.-Kentucky this morn
ing followed the lead of Indiana ana LII
noise. and the 20 votes Of the Blue Grass
State will be cast olidly for Grover Cleve-
land. This result was reached at an IN
tenselv exciting meeting of the delegation
in lis headquarters at the Palmer House,
al which Henry Watterson made one OF MS
lannon's speeches, in which he said that
from now henceforth he WSs Tor Grover
Cleveland, and he hoped the Blue Grass
State would be in line when the man OF
destiny was nominated.
MIR. Watterson said he saw yesterday
that the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland was
inevitable. All his labors in opposition TO
Mr.. Cleveland had been done from the SIN
cere desire to see a winner named ana ne
had mn to within short time ago been con-
WINGED that it would be madness to urge
Mr. Cleveland's nomination in the face OF
the fact that yawniug grave would be
prepared for him by his enemies IN New
York.
MR.. wATTERSON SAID
he counted himself one Of the truest friends
Grover Cleveland ever had, and 1t mad been
10 save him from what he thought was sure
defeat that he champiOned the cause OF d
man who would not be marked for slaugh-
ter in the empire State. But the last
tbjrtv-six hours had worked a wonderful
change. the magic OF the ex-Presi-
DENTS name had even cast its spell
about the solid phalanX OF opposition IN
New York. and the leaders there were re-
treating sullenly but were backing out OF
their opposition. Mr.. Watterson euloglzed
Mr. Whitney, to whom he credlted the
wonderful campaign made by that gentle
man in Mr.. Cleveland's interest ana ne
believed that in the end New YORK WouI9
be brought into line for the nominee and
the solid vote OF the State would be cast for
Mr. Clevelaud's nomination.
81 have for some time regarded the
nomination OF Mr.. Cleveland as assured.
If he is nominated, he and his antecedents
will be a platform in themselves. His an
nual message in 1887 in the matter Of the
tariff. and his silver letter of 1891, with his
many utterances upon the antl-colnage
side of the silver controversy, Will consu-
tute in reality the issues of which the cam
paign will have TO be fought out TO square
the ticket with the record and make the
situation logical.
.If Mr.. Cleveland is nominated no one
will support the ticket more heartily than
shall - ne continued. - am his friend not
his enemy. came here for peace, not for
war;
II shall not vote for him in the conven-
ton. however, he concluded. IF Mr..
Boies's name is presented my vote shall be
cast for that gentleman. If no other name
but that of Mr.. Cleveland is mentioned, l
shall not vote. 1 do not know what the
balance Of the Kentucky delegates viii do,
but certainly Mr.. Casselman's claims that
the solid vote of Kentucky will be cast for
Mr. Cleveland is unfounded. That IS all
have TO say.n

WILLIAM L. WILSON.

The Hon. WILLIAM Il. WILSON, Of
West Virginia, will be the permanent
chairman Of the National Democratic
Convention.
1t is a distinct and conclusive victory
for ex-President CLEVELAND. It de-
cides the battle.
Mr.. WILSON was defeated in the con-
test for temporary chairman because
the CLEVELAND men, whose policy has
been pacific throughout, made little or
no fight for the honor, being willing to
grant it to their opponents. But when
the time came to decide where the
final and greatest honor Of the conven-
ton, should go, Mr.. WILSON, the
CLEVELAND candidate, won hands down.
To is the highest honor ever accorded
a West Virginian in a national political
convention Of either party and it will be
appreciated by the Democracy Of the
Mountain State.
Ihey nope Tor out one Jnlng more
that WILLIAM L. WILSON will be placed
upon the ticket with Mr.. CLEVELAND.
No filter man for the place can be named,
nor one more stauuch In his
Democracy. He is probably the ablest
man in Congress to-day and the most
generally respected by men OF all par
ties. He has supported Mr.. CLEVELAND
from the start, and is fully entitled to
the honor Of fighting under the great
tariff reform leader as his first lieuten-
ant in the coming battle.
GROVER CLEVELAND aud WILLIAM l..
WILSON would not only make West
Virginia doubly sure for the Democracy
but would sweep the country like Wild
fire.

The Amalgamnted Convention.

PrTTsBURG, PA, June 2l-The Joint
scale committee of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation and the tin plate and sheet iron
manufacturers met tonight at seven
o'clock, and at midnight was still in
session. A strong effort will be made to
settle the wage question before adjourn
ment.
Another conference Of the iron scale
committee will probably be held on Thurs
day, but the prospects Of an agreement are
very poor, as the scales are so widely diff
ferent and both sides seem determined 10
make no concessions.
The report that 700 men had signed a
three years scale at Carnegie's Homestead
plant is denied by the men. A committee
of foundrymen, carpenters, etc, signed
the scale, but the men claim it was without
authority.
The steel scale has not yet been complet-
ed and conference with Carnegies will
not likely be held before Thursday.

ACookInr-school IdrI.

He had been a superb specimen OF the
English mastif. His massive frame still
showed evidence of former strength,
while his large eyes had wistfu ex-
preston, as II he understood and felt his
inability to explain the cause OF his suf-
fering.
He posed on the shore Of small lake,
standing sentinel over a coZy-looking
row-boat, the contents Of which bespoke
the presence of picnic party in the Vi
entity.
Suddenly the sound of approaching
voices caused the noble-loOking brute TO
step nearer his charge, and 70 face a
small clump of woods, from which the
sound of voices proceeded, but as the
figures emerged from the woods, the
dog, recognizing the newcomers, walk
ed slowly away TO shady spot a few
rods distant and was soon fast asleep.
The new arrivals were plainly pair
OF lovers, and, judging from their con-
versation, had just pliRhted their troth.
She was a girl of fashion, tall and
graceful, with dark hair and eyes. She
wore a navy blue yachting costume,
while over her shoulder was slung q
strap supporting case which evidently
contained marine glass, but which on
examination would have disclosed a
powder puff, hair brush and comb.
The man appeared at first glance TO
be tall and athletically built. but such
was not the case. He was triumph Of
the tailor's art, smoked cigarettes, part
ed his hair In the middle, used curling
iron and wore glasses.
He had Just finished telling OF wood
bine cottage, and she had called him
"Algy" for the first time, when she said
that IL would be ''just too cute for any
thing" to have another row before the
rest of the party returned. Algernon
groaned inwardly, wiped of his per-
spring forehead, and said he would be
charmed.
They-the dog and the Iovers-were
soon ahoat, Algernon rowing leisurely
while Nettie sat I'm the stern steering
with one hand, and patting the dog 8
MAGNIFICENT head with the other.
Exertions made her lover very quiet,
while Nettie talked very rapidly, build
ing air castles for them both. She
wandered rapidly from one subject to an
other until she touched upon her hobby,
the cooking class.
Yes" she said, SCI have been attend

Bruno shiVered.

that we are to be married, Algy, / am
going to be real industrious and attend

But it was too late. Bruno had Jumped

teeman, said he did not know but that he
was here as a contestant. So far as the
regular delegation knew. there was no con-
test. but judging from newspaper
renorts there seemed to be
some kind of an appearance here.
Chairman Lamb, of the committee, replied
that it had not been informed of contest
and on motion OF Foote, of California, IL
was ordered that Mr.. Cokran be notified If
there were any. Perry Belmont, al Mr..
Cokran's request, represented him in the
committee A few minutes later General
Bragg came in, and filing the Syracuse
credentials thereby gave notice officially.
The matter again came up when in the
call of States Belmont said he understood
there was contest. Foote, OF California,
was evidently out of patience with the Sy-
racuse fight and was about TO move its per-
emptory disposition when Bragg inter
rupted and said he was surprised at the
lack of understanding of what he had said.

quarters this evening was this:
Mr.. Wilson went into the Confederate
army as q drummer boy, and was an as
sistant at two or three Of the earlier bat
ties Of the Army Of Northern Virginia.
At Balls Bluff, Gen. Longstreet found a
Young fellow sitting with his drum on q
fallen tree, taking no interest whatever in
the qery interesting proceedings going on a
half mile in front Of him.
"Why don't you reioin your regime ut,

Young Wilson was given a gun that did
not leak, and at the surrender had risen to
the rank OF Captain in the Confederate

CHICAGO, June 21-The Credentials
Committee has surplus Of lawyers and
parliamentarians in its membership, con-
sequently progress was slow this afternoon
at its meeting for the consideration Of con-
tested seats. The early adjournment OF
the convention is somewhat dependent on
the report u the committee, and that body
did not facilitate adjournment by quick
action on the contests.
Elk erepresentative Little, who was
chosen chairman, did all he could to urge
the work along but with Indifferent sue
cess. The first business done was to APP
prove the roll of delegates submitted so far
as concerned uncontested seats. The dele
gates from Arizona and New Mexico NOV
ed that the committee report in favor Of
giving each of those territories six votes
instead Of two votes in the convention.
The delegates from the two territories
made an earnest appeal TO the committee
TO treat them with the same liberality
which the Minneapolis convention had
treated New Mexico. Both territories,
they said, would have been States now,
but for their Democracy. There was a
vigorous opposition TO the proposition led
by Bragg, OF Wisconsin, who was against
the rotten borough principle" and Causey,
Of Delaware, but it was finally carried
without objection after the defeat by a
vote Of % TO Is of an amendment TO give
them six seats, but only two votes. This
was all that was done up TO adjournment
until 9 O'Clock.
