Poor Taste of Two Enr,i.hm.n.

most equally graceful to the effect that
the reason Thoreau never drank wine
was because there was no wine in Amer

best they had. poor though it might be.
the remark may fairly enough he classed
with that of Lord Ronald-Gower. An

He soon returned with the word that
the doctor was or:, and round among

woman got medical assistance. and then
it was through her work in certain

THEY TOLL WHILE OTHERS SLEEP.
There Is "a Vast Army of busy City Peo-
pie Who Work All Night.

pfe VINO All Ntkht
Did you ever stand at Clark and Mad
ison streets after midnight: Have you
any idea of the number of persons who
look upon midnight as the world in gen.
eral does upon noon: 1t is a vast army
that tolls while others sleep, and it keeps
busy "a great number of attendants.
For the benefit of the great number of
night workers dozens of stores are kept
open nights-restaurants, drug stores,
baker shops and saloons. OF course these
are not patroniZed exclusively by the all
night workers. They catch the transient
trade of that big community that loves
to roam about when other folks are in
bed.
1t is a queer community. this night
crowd. First comes the actor fresh from
his nights labors. He may deserve to
be classed with the night worker, though
he disappears at or o'clock. The men
of the boards are followed by the men of
the tables-the walters of the big down
town restaurants which close between
II and |. BY the time these are well on
their way home comes the first phalanx
of the newspaper brigade, the day" re-
porters for the morning papers.
These linger little and give way to
the first batch of printers. The printers
straggle along all through the night, for
they get off in gangs-increasing as the
night advances. With them. too, comes
u portion of the night editorial force
the men who have remained after the
departura of tha ronnrfars fo ajit Tho
work of the latter.
These all gather by ones and twos un-
I'll by o'clock. when the night reporters
cease their labors. the throng of printers,
of editors, of reporters, is u great one.
They are lovers of gossip and good
fellowship and gather in the various
down town resorts to break bread or sip
a social glass previous TO tedious
journey in a horse car. These cars, by
the way, are run for the benefit of the
many night workers.
Then comes the crowd of night ram
blers-men about town-and people who
attend dances. All these furnish a liv-
ing TO the fruit vendors, ''hot tomale"
and red hot men, ETC., as well as the
storekeeper
The vast multitude of early riSers-
the dinner pail brigade-are hurrying to
their places of daily labor when the last
of the night workers leave for home.
These are the newspaper stereotypers
and pressmen, the bakers, the telephone
girls and those who work in the all
night stores.-Chicago Tribune.

A Query for n New York Club.

A paragraph appears in one of the
daily papers under this heading: Car
negie Complimentcd-The University
Club Entertains Him at Banquet" :"
Following this is an account of the ban
quet. Mr.. Carnegie was. in the opinion
of the reporter, apparently the guest of
honor. As he puts it, 1.-The members en-
tertained Andrew Carnegie and ex-
President White, of Cornell university"
If the reporter thought as we do, the
precedence should have been thus, '.Ex-
President White, of Cornell, and Mr..
Andrew Carnegie"
But why should the University club
entertain Mr.. Andrew Carnegie: He is
opposed to university education. and says
SO very frankly. He wrote a series of
letters to the New York Tribune on the
folly of the higher education. He has
of course Il right to his opinion, but,
holding such opinions. why should the
University club do him honor:-San

STEVENSON GREETED

BY Tammany Delegates and Hundreds OF
Others After the Nomination.
CHICAGO, June 23.-The Headquarters of
General A. E. Stevenson at the Palmer
House tonight were the. Mecca ofthousands
of enthusiastic Democrats, and the General
was forced to repair to one of the public
parlors, where for three hours be shook
hands with a stream of visitors that passed
rapidly through and were presented to him
BY Congressman Springer and others.
During this reception most of the Tammany
delegates called to pay their respects, and
all OF them gave words of cheer.
"We will have 10000 majority for the
ticket in the State of New York" said ex-
Representative Turner, of New York City.
1t is estimated that fully 10000 people
grasped the hand of the Democratic candi-
date for the Vice Presidency, and at the
conclusion of the levee General Stevenson
repaired to his room, very much fatgued.
He was here seen by reporter and ex-
pressed himself as confident of the success
of the ticket
II feel very hopeful as to the political
outlook" said he, "and 1 have confidence
in Democratic success" Referring to the
platform, he said he considered it very
strong platform, and one in respect to which
there could be no difference Of interpreta-
tion.
This morning the following telegram was
sent by General Stevenson to Grover Cleve-
land: Accept my hearty congratulations.
Late tonight kilograms of congratulation
were flowing in upon General Stevenson by
the hundred.

and the convention, which acknowledges
him as its real master, settled down into

was renewed,
The Votes Of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
When the vote of Ohio was announced
there was fresh attempt to steer the con-
vention into Stevenson's camp, but it was
again set down on by the Chairman.
The Gray men, who had been a little
frightened and subdued, took fresh courage
when Pennsylvania was called, and Mr.
Hensel, after announcing that the individ-
ual preferences of the members were for
Mitchell, 6 for Morse and II for Stevenson,
added that the balance and majority of
the delegation were for Gray, and that the
vote of the State would, under instructions,
be cast as a unit, making Ga votes for GRAY.
As the ballot proceeded it was evident that
the two strongest candidates were Gray and
Stevenson, and the adherents of each alter
mated with their yells as their iavorite can
didate showed up with the highest number
of votes from the State delegations
The Ballot Before the Changes.
The ballot before any changes were made
resulted as follows:

Chan ges Made in the Votes.

Iowa changed her 26 votes to Stevenson.
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio and
Oregon, each in turn, changed to Steven
son. When the chairman of the Missouri
delegation obtained the floor the widest
excitement ensued, as he changed the "a
votes of that,State for Stevenson. Georgia,
changing her 26 votes to Stevenson, caused
fresh howl of excitement from the conveu-
tion, which at this moment was scarcely
better than mob. Tennessee hastily cast
her "a votes solid for Stevenson. Ken
for Stevenson, and upon the Chairman of
the convention answering in the negative,
that delegation recorded her 26 votes for
the favorIte son of Illinois. Texas cast her
80 votes solid for Stevenson.
The confusion became so great for time
that the Chair refused to listen to or re-
cognize any of the delegates At this point
a tall man with black beard shouted loud
er than all the rest, and attracted the at
tention of the Chairman.
The Chairman-What il the name of the
gentleman?
The speaker said his name was "Cole, I"
of Ohio. II move that the rules be sus-
pended and that General Adlai E. Steven
son be nominated by reclamation"
Stevenson Nominated by Acclamation.
Loud applause greeted this motion, and
the delegates all over the hall seemed im-
patient that the question be put In the
midst of the excitement, Mr.. Hensel, of
Pennsvlvanis, who was standing on the
platform in front of the presiding officer,
seconded the motion.
The Chairman-Hon. Adlai E. Steven
son, of Illinois, having already received
more than two-thirds of the vote of this

HILL HEARS THE NEWS,

But Firmly Refuses to Soy What He
Thinks About 1t.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-The news of
the nomination of Grover Cleveland to be
the Democratic candidate for tho Presi-
dency reached Washington at an hour so
early in the morning that few persons, e1-
cebt the enthusiasts, who do not hesitate
to turn the night into day when politics
are at stake, knew anything of
it until an extra edition of the
Washington Post appeared upon the street.
The result of the convention was antici-
pated. Everybody had watched with sur
prise the skillful prolongation of the des-
perats struggle Of the opponents Of the ex-
President, but, while their ability and
shrewdness were recognized, no one in this
city had any doubt but that Mr. Cleveland
would be nominated
Senator Hill was found before 10 o'clock
this morning in his sitting room at the
Arlington. He had been up until nearly 8

looted. He received the reporter cordially,
and appeared to be cheerful and relieved

Loud applause.
Some New Can didates Are Presented.
When kentucky was called there was a
consultation between Mr.. Mckenzie and
Chairman Bronson, Chairman of the State
delegation. A member of the Illinois dele
cation sitting across the aisle urged Mr..
Bronson to cast the votes of the delegation
for Watterson, stating that the Illinois del
egation would consent to such vote as
they were "safe."
When Montana was reached two new
candidates were. sprung in the persons of
w. Bourke Cochran, Of New York, who
got nine votes, and Judge Lambert Tree, of
Illinois, who received one.
When New York was reached, and Gov
ernor Flower cast their 72 votes for Steven
son, there was tremendous cheering and an
evident attempt to stampede the convention
for Stevenson, the Illinois delegation stand
ing up, shouting and waving their hats.
The attempt, however, was failure, for the
Chair held them down with his gavel and

The President Had Retired, Fully Conf lent
of tho Result.
WASHINGTON, June 23--It was not until
7:3O o'clock this morning that President
Harrison knew for certainty that e1-Pres-
ident Grover Cleveland had again been
chosen as his competitor in the race for the
next Presidential term. He had antici-
pated Mr.. Cleveland's selection, and
would have been surprised only
in the event of different
result. The telegraphic arrangements be-
tween the White House and the Democratic
Convention hall at Chicago were precisely
the same as those with the recent Republi-
can Convention at Minneapolis, but, as the
nomination Of Cleveland appeared from the
first to be foregone conclusion, compare
lively little Interest was taken in the pro-
ceedings Of the present convention. The
President remained in his library until
1880 o'clock last night reading the bulletins
of the convention, and then remarked to
Private Secretary Halford, who was his sole
companion at the time, that it would prob
ably be at least two hours before the bal
loting began, and, as he did not desire to
lose any sleep over the matter, he would re-
tire.
The telegraph operators were thereupon
excused for tho night, and the President
heard nothing more from the convention un-
til he arose at the usual hour this morning.
He then asked his valet ii the convention
had reached a nomination during the
night. The valet did not know, but
said he would find out. Soon after
leaving the President, he heard the news
boys on the street calling out ''extra, and
he bought paper announcing the nomina-
tion OF Mr. Cleveland on the first ballot.
The paper was at once taken to the Presi-
dent, and it gave him the first information
he had on the subject. An effort was made
by representative of the Associated Press
to induce the President to say what he
thought of the nomination, but he courte-
ously declined to say anything at all on the
subject for publication.

years the Peninsula State has given maiori-

Immediately over the New York delegation
came crashing down upon the Hill men.
The globes were broken and streams of
white electricity shot out from the carbon
points.
In twinkling everyone in the building
was OH his feet and almost everyone was
making for the exits. The delegates tum-
bled wildly over one another, each striving
to get as far away from New York as possi-
BILE and in the shortest time. The cries and
yells and howls which had been sent up
from the various candidates during the con-
vention were magnifed tentold, but now
were turned into frantic EXPLANATIONS of
fear. 1t seemed as if there were no posi-
BILE way out of panic, which must have re-
suited in the loss of perhaps hundreds of
lives.
Cool Heads Keep Down the Mob.
Fortunately, here and there cool head
remained on its shoulders, and with braced
muscles Gordon of brave men surrounded
the panic-stricken crowd. The bandmaster
appeared to have his nerve and presence of
mind with him, for under his direction the
music Immediately started in with lively
air. Cries OF ''Sit down, sit down." "Take
your seats" "Don't be - FOOLS" and
various other admonitions rose above the
cries Of the multitude.
The. police and the sergeants at arms
rallied at once in the cause Of order. Men
and women were seized, and with no gentle
hands were planted in their seats and held
there. A number of the delegates seized
other delegates and required them to take
their seats. A wild surge of humanity
which broke over the newspaper platform
was promtly met by the warriors of the
pencil, and was rolled back and held In
place until its component parts regained
their senses At length the panic was re-
duced and the convention proceeded with
Its business. The Chairman recognized Mr.
Hensel, of Pennsylvania, who said:
Mr. Chairman-I think it must be appar-
eht to all the delegates here that even q roll
call of the States cannot now be taken with
that deliberation necessary to the proper
proceedings of this convention. l therefore
move you that the resolution OF General
Collins be referred to the next National
Committee with an affirmative recommend
alton and with power to act.
The Chairman put the motion to the con-
vention and it was carried. After the usual
resolutions Of thanks were adopted the con.
vention adjourned sine die.
