ly. The insertion of these resolutions IL
due principally to the exertions OF Senator
Villas and ex-Spesker Crafts of Illinois,
who framed them Jointly. They are ex-
pected TO greatly strengthen the ticket in
Wisconsin and Illinois and perhaps other
parts OF the Northwest. where these ques-
tions have come to be burning issues.
One resolution offered by Governor
Flower was voted down. IL related to
outrages and lynchings, and was con-
demnatory In its nature. The wording of
1t was not satisfactory, and in the brief
time before the committee il could not be
so framed as to be generally satisfactory.
The southern men protested against il as
possible implication, casting some re-
Elections on their state governments, and
IL was decided to leave it out of the plat
form.

How to Make a Toad Happy.
Boston Gazette.

There are few things more amusing
than to watch toad submitting to the
operation of a back-scratching. He will
at first look somewhat suspiciously at the
twig which you are advancing toward
him. But after two or three passes down
his back his manner undergoes a mark ed
change; his eyes close with an expression
of infinite rapture, he plants his feet wide
apart aud his body swells out To nearly
double Its ordinary size, as if to obtain by
these means more room for Enjoyment.
Thus he will remain until you make some
sudden movement which startles him, or
or until ne has had as much petting as he
wants, when. with puff of regretful de-
light, he will reduce himself to his usual
dimensions and hop away. bent once more
on the pleasures of the chase.

Against Cleveland.

Against Cleveland
COLUMBIA, s. c., May Is, 2 A. M.-Dele-
gates to the democratic state convention,
which meets here to-day, are here in droves.
All eyes are turned on the alliance caucus,
which assembled early last night in
the state capitol. A battalion OF
reporters endeavored to gain ad-
mittance, but every approach was
guarded and every nook was inspected.
The caucus adjourned at o'clock this morn
ing. There was a long discussion as to
whether it should be a distinctively alliance
caucus as contemplated in the call. This
resulted in all being admitted who were in
favor of the alliance demands, whether they
are members or not This is regarded as a
serious blow to the order and distinct vic
tory for the administration.
RED-HoT AGAINST CLEVELAND.
Resolutions were introduced denouncing
ex-President Cleveland, but were with
drawn until to-day, when they will prevail
Many OF the speeches were filed with de-
nunciation of MIR. Cleveland, which was
greeted with applause. Half dozen reso-
lutlons were introduced, nearly all of
which were directed at Mr.. Cleveland.
Senator Keitt of Newberry introduced a
resolution TO instruct the Chicago delega-
ton to declare to the Chicago convention
that the democracy Of this state would not
feel itself bound to support Mr.. Cleveland
or any other Wall street man that might be
nominated
Gov. TIllman, DR.. Pope of Newberry and
W. c. Bennett OF Abbeville opposed this on
the ground that the state should stand by
the Democratic party.
TILLMAN IN CONTROL.
That Gov. Tillman had the convention in
sling was apparent, as when he concluded
the resolution was killed. The governor
said he was dead against Mr.. Cleveland.
Great applause].
No delegates were decided upon by the
caucus, but it was determined that tie
delegates when elected should declare their
absolute support to the nominee OF the
Chicago convention.
The vote on whether Gov. Tillman dele
gates, other than members of the alliance,
should enter the caucus, was AS to 81 in
favor thereof.
Gov. T1llman, in his speech, referred to
the desire on the part of his opponents that
he and the alliance should become
estranged. Said he: "If the alliance
fights me, I'll follow the alliance"
The convention adopted the Ocals plat
form without alteration.
