CLEVELAND A WINNER.
The Ex.PreSiaent Wins the Democratic
PLUM Stevenson for Yice.iI'esident.

Chicago, June 21.-Chairman
Brice called the convention to or
der at 12:45.
While the convention assembled
the blue satin banner of the Hor-
ace Boies club, Davenport, Iowa,
was borne forward at the head of
the delegation of rugged men who
will sit in the convention and vote
for their governor to the last ditch.
They were greeted with applause,
as were the Tammany leaders from
New York, who followed closely.
Then came Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania. Then in groups, pairs or
singly, the other states took their
places.
1t was high noon when a black
shadow crept up from the north
and overspread the sky and the
great spaces in the galleries became
dim and Swallowed. A hush crept
over the throng of white faces
turned upward toward the opening
beneath the high wooden root.
Was the roof again to be blown
away? Would terrific winds come
on growing black clouds? Was
there danger? Would there be
peril in remaining? But as the
shadow gently enveloped the en-
tire structure, luckily no cry of
fear came, though the women's
faces were white and mems faces
intense with anxiety. Then came
A VIVID FLASH OF LIGHTNING
and the booming report Of thunder
reached the anxious crowd.
Darker grew the murky air At
length SO great was the outer dark
ness that the news reporters were
compelled to pause, unable to see.
Quickly followed the rafting of
the burst of rain upon the roof.
Almost instantly the water flowed
down through crack directly up
on the heads of the New York dele
CATION. Umbrellas were hoisted
and the storm was on. Furious
wind, thunder rolls and rain ,dashes
continued for ten minutes. Sud-
denly as the storm had come it
passed away, and light followed
Within the great hall was a wall
of faces.
Then Chairman Brice of the
national committee arose and COM
manded silence.
Rev. john Rouse offered prayer.
Secretary Sheerin announced the
temporary organization: w. C.
Owens. Kentucky, temporary chair
man; S. ?. Sheerin, secretary;
Nicholas a. Bell, Missouri, princi-
pal reading clerk; Richard J.
Bright, Indiana, sergeant-at-arms.
The opening of convention day
finds the clouds of political dissen-
ton clearing away. 1t does not |
require the divine gift of prophesy
to predict the nomination of Grover
Cleveland on the first ballot. In
deed, this result is conceded. even
by The friends Of Hill and Boies,
the only other candidates now in
field, though every indication is
that they will go down to defeat
with their colors flying, and the
solid support Of their respective
states behind them.

the chair where he proceeded to
address the convention. His speech
was almost wholly confined to
tariff. At the close Of his speech
the committee on rules reported,
making the rules Of the last nation
al democratic convention the rules
of this convention.
The report was adopted. The
unit rule heretofore in force there
fore holds in this convention. The
anti Cleveland men made strong
eight in committee against the unit
rule, bet were defeated by a vote
of % to Is.
The convention then took
recess to 5 p. m. to await the
report of the committee on resolu-
tons.
At 5 o'clock the committee en-
resolutions repoted. On the tariff
as follows:
We dcnounce republican protec-
ton as a fraud under which the
labor of the great majority of the
American people is for the benefit
of a few. We declare it to be
fundamental principle of the demo
cratic party that the federal gov
ernment has no constitutional pow
er to impose and collect tariff du
ties except for the purpose of reve-
nue. only, and we demand the col
lection of such taxes shall be linn
tied to the necessities of the govern
ment when honestly and econoni-
cally administered.
On silver:
We denounce the Republican
legislation known as the Sherman
act of 1890 as cowardly makeshift
fraught with possibilities Of danger
in the future which should make
all its supporters, as well as its
author, anxious for its spec ly re-
peal. We hold to the use of both
gold and silver as the standard
money Of the country and to the
coinage of both gold and silver
without discriminating against
either metal or making a charge for
mintage; but the dollar, the unit
of coinage of both metals, must be
of equal intrinsic and interchang-
able value, or adjusted through in
ternational agreement or by such
safeguard legislation as shall secure
the maintenance Of the parity of
the two metals, and the equal pow
err of every dollar at any time in
the market or in the payment of
debt.
A motion to insert "free" before
coinage" was declared lost.

that they have decided to retire
their favorite sons and cast their
aggregate Of 142 votes for the sx-
president has about removed all
doubt from the situation. Then all
dark horses, including German,
Morrison, Russell and Cam pbcll
with their followers, are hasting to

The general expectation is that

ana, for vice president.
IOWA DELEGATION STILL FOR BoIEs.
Every effort of the Cleveland peo-
pie to persuade the Iowa delegation
to desert Governor Boics has
proven signally unsuccessful. Des-
pite the almost certainty that
Cleveland will be nominated on
the first ballot, the Boies people
have announced that their candi-
date will remain in the race to the
end, not only as matter Of state
pride, but as a protest against the
nomination of a candidate not sup
ported by his own state. Indeed
Boies' followers are almost as bitter
as the Hill men in their protesta-
ton against Cleveland's nominal
ton.
The silver question is receiving
a very cold shoulder at the hands
of most of the Pacific coast states
in this convention. California has
absolutely refused to take any
hand in the agitation, and Wash
ington, Oregon, New Mexico and
Arizona have likewise kept out of
the silver ring. Montana, Utah,
Colorado, Nevada and Idaho are
making a desperate effort to cut
some figure with silver, but their
success is by no means pronounced.
Night before last these five states
found they had sixty-one votes
which would go to German on the
first ballot should his name be
mentioned, hoping thereby to cham
pion a candidate who if by any
scratch should beat Cleveland out
in convention after the first ballot
would be susceptible to their pleas
ure for support. The story of their
banded sixty-one votes spread
about the several delegations with
considerable rapidity on the night
it was first announced, and for
short time caused no little COM
ment. When Mr.. German drop
ped out of the race, however, last
night, the hopes of the silver men
dropped several degrees. This
morning their spirits had risen
with the thermometer to something
like boiling heat and it was
thought best to hold another eau
Gus. There the situation was
again carefully reviewed, and after
mature elaboration Governor Boies
was. voted the next best man to
look to for success. Accordingly
tonight there is considerable joy in
the Iowa camp among the support
ers of Mr.. Boies over the friends
who have thrust themselves under
their banner. What may be the
situation in the silver camp by the
time the balloting begins tomor
row can only be conjectuied. I'll
the Hill men come around and
quietly bid for the silver vote they |
will likely get it, as Hill stock |
though very poor at best is even
better than that of any of the other
second chances.

A FATED MAN.
Washington.

From Kate Fields Washington.
The treaty between Grant and
Lee, which terminated the war OF
the Rebellion, was signed at Ap-
pomattox Courthouse on the
property owned by a man named
Mclean, concerning whom a Con-
fedcrate officer eold me an interest
ing story. Il would seem that Mr..
Mclean, though striving to keep
himself aloof from wars and
rumors Of wars, was pursued by .
fatality from the start to the finish
OF the great conflict.
AT the outbreak Of the war
General Beauregard's headquarters
were near Manassas, on the farm
owned by the same Mclean:
There the first engagement OF
moment took place. General
Lonpstreet and corps were also
encamped there for a time. When
the firing began there came a
volley from the Federals which
literally tore to pieces General
Beauregard's dinner, spread on .
table in the garden at the rear OF
the house. At the close OF the
engagement Mclean packed up
such goods and chattels as re-
mained and moved to Mississippi,
where, in course of time, the war
followed him.
Tired at last of the self-imposed
banishment from Virginia, he re-
turned just in time to be fairly
settled at Appomattox Courthouse
and for his property to be that 90
lected for the signing Of the treaty
OF peace.

alone"
Sutter conducted him into q
vacant room and closed the door.
"Are you sure nobody will Gomez
Lock the door" cried Marshall.
Then he stepped up to the table
and poured from pouch his
ounce of metal.
"Gold goldl it is gold" he ex-
claimed, hardly knowing whether
he was IN the flesh or not.
"Where did you get that" asked
Sutter; and when the events of the
day were rehearsed he added, "But
you don't know it to be gold. |
have my doubts about it,
After some discussion the sub
stance was tested with aqua fortis,
and was proved to be genuine
metal. Marshall's excitement was
now extreme, and he would not
hear to Suffers proposal that he
should spend the night. Back to
the mill he rode through the driv-
ing rain, and whom Sutter in the
morning followed him, he met
Marshall on foot ten miles away
from the mill race.
"What are you here for2" OK
claimed Sutter
II had to come, | was 30 inn
patient to see you," was the
feverish reply.
When they arrived at the mill
race they found the men employed
there excitedly gathering gold.
Captain Sutter called them to-
gether, and exacted promise from
them that they would keep the
matter secret for six weeks,
during which time they should
attend to their accustomed duties
at the mill and ranch.
But such secret could not be
kept. In few days the region
was thronged with gold seekers.
Suffers flocks were stolen, his
crops ruined and his land seized
upon without apology. Before the
close of the year 5000 men were
at work in the mines Of the new
Eldorado, and the product of their
labor was $5,000,000. But the
discoverer of the gold and the
owner of the land where it was
found both died poor.

a plea OF not guilty to the indict-

alement in connection with the

From the Youths Companion,
In 1S48 James w. Marshall,
who was employed in California
sawmill, was one day shutting on
the water when he discovered par
ticIes of shining dust in the race
way. He was q man in whose
imagination had for a long time
fioated visions of gold, and now,
almost beside himself with excite
ment, he began to examine the
rocks and water. He soon col
lected at least an ounce OF gold.
Then he mounted horse and
dashed away to report to Captain
Sutter, his employer, who was
forty miles distant. 1t was late at
night when Marshall reached his
destination, and the rain was DIES
cending in torrents. Leaping from
