Conflicting Opinions on the Eject OF th

Conflicting Opinions on the Eject OF the
Syracuse Convention.
WASHINGTON. June 1.-At this moment
IL may fairly be said that the ma
ioTity Of the Democrats, irrespective Of
their wishes, believe that Cleveland is 60
ing to be nominated in spite Of all Opposi-
tiOn and Notwithstanding the iDjudicious
action Of many of his friends.
Representative Castle Of Minnesota to-
day said: There will be no bad effects
from the Syracuse convention. No one
thinks for a moment that the cOntesting
delegation will be admitted to the cOnven-
tiOD, and the action at Syracuse is not 60
ing 10 inJuTe Cleveland IN the least. CleYe-
land is bound TO be nominated"
MIR. Whiting Of Michigan, who was with
Mr.. Castle, took directly opposite view Of
the matter 81 think the action of tn e
extremely probable that some one other
than Mr.. Cleveland will be nominated at
Chicago. Very many Of those who would
rather see Mr.. Cleveland in the White
House than any one else feel that he can
not carry New York and that he cannot be
elected. The cOOl-headed men in the con-
ventfon will very likely conclude that the
contest over the delegation to start with
does not give promise OF success II the
champion of one OF the factions is made the
candidate"
Mr.. Doekery of Missouri said: Party
DISCRIMINATION is not to be excused. 1t Is
an evil no matter how great is the name oil
the man behind whom it is masked"
MIR. Forney of Alabama said that he
thought the Syracuse convention would
probably injnre Mr.. Cleveland.
Mr. Hatch Of Missouri said "thc action OF
the convention IS the greatest Dnnder hose
folks have made since they decided to hold
the convention"
Representative Enlos of Tennessee said
that in bis opinion the Syracuse convention
went too far; that lhe creation of anVther

Jersey City, from the effects of a surgical
operation performed on Monday. She had
been suffering from drOpsy for some time,
and three weeks ago went to the hospital for
treatment. The operation failed to afford
the anticipated relief, and she died sud-
denly. Her death was a great surprise, as
she was not considered to be In immediate
danger, and was reported to be doing nicely.
She was widely and favOrably known in
newspaper circles for her accurate knowl-
edge of horses and cattle. Her life has

tG give up her open air life. A quarrel fol-
lowed and she left home and broke off all
friendly relations with her family. For sew
eral years size lived in various parts CT
Europe, until she came to the court OF the
King OF Italy, by whom she was appointed
TO select horses for his horse guards and
had the entire supervision Of his stables.
This place she filled with credit and to the
complete satisfaction of the King. After
five years spent in the service Of King En-
manuel she decided TO come TO America.
When she crossed the Atlantic she bore let
tiers of introduction to Horace Greedy, James
Gordon Bennett and Henry J. Raymond
She then wrote more or less for the Tri-
bune, Herald and Times. OF late years she
had done the livestock reporting for the
Times, Herald, Turf, Field and Farm and
the Live Stock Reporter. In addition to
this she wrote the pedigrees and racing
articles for the American Agriculturst.

up to the needs of the people by the Govern
ment; education in the English language
under State supervisors; the Govern
ment ownership OF railways, telegraphs and
telephones; All educational qualification for
voters and an improved system Of highways.
The tariff plank says that all revenues
should be raised by taxation on nation 5
wealth rather than on labor, instead OF the
present tariff system, Oy which the con-
sumption OF the masses Is taxed 20 the sup
port Of the Federal Governments; that the
raising of revenues and the protection OF in
dustries, inextricably mingled and confused
in our tariff laws, should be forever divorced
and dealt with as distinct functions Of the
Government; that protection, when needed,
should be secured by other and proper legis-
IatIve or constitutional action.

"7Rere'S something behind &"
That's what you think, perhaps,
when you read that the proprietors
of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you
think, to find the makers of a Inedi-
cine trying to prove that they be-
lieve in it. "There must be some
thing back of it!"
But it's plain, square offer, made
in good faith. The only thing that's
back of it is the Remedy. It cures
Catarrh in the Head. TO its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases yield,
no matter how bad or of how long
standing. 1t has record that
goes back for 25 years. It doesn't
simply relieve it perfectly and
permanently cures. With q Rem
edy like this, the proprietors can
make such an offer and nseGzs 1t
To be sure there's risk In IL but
It's so very small that they are
willing to take it.
You've "never heard of anything
like this offer ?" True enough.
But then you've never heard of
anything like DR.. Sage's Remedy.

HIS FAIRNESS QUESTIONED.
Peculiar Action of the Moderator Of the Late
Assembly.

Peculiar Action Of the Moderator Of the Late
Assembly
PORTLAND, Or, June 1.-The reputation
which the moderator of the late PEesbyte-
rian General Assembly gained fOr fairness
of dealing sustained a shock ia his action
in vacating the chair during tue discussion
OF the theological seminaries' committees
report, and in taking the floor in advocacy
oil the report substituted OH motion of DR.
Green. The chairman of the committee Is
said to have been much chagrined at hIs
action. and 10 have said that never before
had moderator taken an active part in
defeating the report made ty a CON-
mlttee of his own appointment The
unusual character of this action was
remarked at the time, and in some
quarters it has been received as Q blew
directed at the extreme views of the
committee. II is TO many very doubtful
whether the substitute would have carried
had it not been for this action. IL Is also
believed that it was contrary to tie wish Of
the moderator, and only under seeming
cOmpus0n that he allowed the arbitration
resolution 10 go through.
The arbitration committee, consisting Of
DR.. Smith of Buffalo. DR.. Agnew aud Ed er
Jumkin Of Philadelphia, Murray Of New
York and Hum mphrey of Louisville, contains
only one man whose views are not fairly
well defined beforehand. The question
which finds expression now is whether the
directors will consider that there is any thing
to arbrate. The final sentence Of their
memorial makes IL look as though they saw
nothing Of the sort, when they say: This
memorial Is submitted with the earnest h0ps
that your reverend body may cordially ean-
eur with us IN annuling the arrangement of
1870, thus restoring Union Seminary 60 its

President Harrison.

He Is Confident OF the Nomination OF
President Harrison.
CHICAGO, June L-Chauncey NJ. Depew
arrived tonight. Speaking OF the p0ssI-
bilty Of Blaine being 4 candidate, he said :
Harrison is almost certain to be the
nominee Of the convention, but in case
Blaine is nominated and refuses, then Har-
risnn could not be candidate for sn Office
declined By the chief officer of his Cabinet.
.Fhe Generalization of such an event would
spread all over the country and the party
would be- defeated before the election
began. The inevitable and irresistible
logic of the situation is the nomina-
ton Of President Harrison. The only
chance 10 beat Harrison is that the
convention should vote for half a
dtzen Iavorits sOns and prevent a choice
until his opponents could concentrate on
somebody. The supreme effort to induce
Blaine to become a candidate has Dracti-
cslly retired everybody but him, so that
unless Blaine allows his name to be pre-
sen.ed, Harrison viii be nominated by the
potential force OF his record and friends"
He said: "No'hinS could be more sug-
Gpstiye Of the difficulties Of the situation TO
the opponents Of Harrison than the spec
taeIe of practical politicians like Platt.
Quay, Clarks0n and others flirting with the
ghost Of Caesar ana the coffin Of MaaOmet."

decided mistake and that it would have
been better also not to nominate contest
ing delegation. but to rest content with

Judge de Forest of Connecticut said that
the action at Syracuse would prove mis-
take assuming that the February cOnven-
tlon was regular. however unsatisfactory
that convention may have been to many
Democrats. If the February delegates were
regular, the Syracuse delegates are irregu-
lar. He thought, granting the former as
sumption, that the election of new delegates
and committeeman at Syracuse was an
unwiSe step. There Is a remarkable degree
of agreement on this point to-day among
the Senators and representatives Of all
shades Of politics Cleveland men, anti
Cleveland Democrats and Republicans are
practically in accord for once.
