LEAD THE DEMOCRATS.
There Were Four Candidates for
the Vice Presidency.
To those who watched the progress of
events at Chicago this week, it was not
difficult to foresee the nomination of Mr..
| Cleveland, who was an easy leader from
the start, while Hill, German. Boies of
Iowa. Carlisle, Morrison and Gray each
had some local following. Outside of
Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. German went to
Chicago with more prestige as possible
dark horse than any of those just named.
Some alarm was ct one time excited by
the determined opposition OF the anti
Cleveland leaders. II was stated that
many of the Southern delegates were
satisfied that Mr.. Cleveland could not be
elected, and that an offer had
been made to give Mr.. German the
entire anti Cleveland vote-not less than
400 on the first ballot, if he would permit
his candidacy to be openly announced.
Mr. German would not consent to this un
less the assurance could be given that he
would have enough votes to give him
the nomination. This assurance could
not be given, and the negotiations were
postponed until Monday. On that day,
German became convinced THAT he was
to be made only a stepping stone to the
nomination of Morrison, and withdrew
from the combination.
Ga the same day the Cleveland column
received some important accessions
Indiana was won over by the promise to
give Gray the second place on the ticket
and by the time the convention met, at
noon on Tuesday, tho Cleveland and
Gray ticket appeared to be ioregone
conclusion.
THE CONVENTION.
Hon. r. G. Owens, of kentucky, a
Hill man, was made temporary chairman
of the convention. The Cleveland people
threatened to oppose the selection in
open convention, but finally concluded
not to do SO. After the appointment of
the usual committees, the convention
adjourned until Wednesday at II a. m.
Ga Tuesday night the opponents of
Mr.. Cleveland made another rally, and
the strength OF the movement gave the
Cleveland managers some alarm.
When the convention met on Wednes-
day morning the air was full of conflict
ing rumors, each side noisily claiming
more strength than they possessed. Hon.
W. L. Wilson, of West Virginia, was made
permanent chairman. The committees
were not ready TO report, and a recess
was taken until pm.
The night session was 4 most exciting
and boisterous one. The committees
on credentials aud platform reported,
their reports were acted upon, and then
the convention was ready for nominal
tions.
CLEVELAND NOMINATED.

New York, and Horace Boies, of Iowa,

Il was nearly 4 o'clock before the bal
lot was completed The convention ad-
- j..
noon.
On Thursday, A. E. Stevenson, of Hi |
nois, was nominated for Vice President.
At the conference of the New York |
delegation, held early in the day, Mr. |
Springer was present, and announced, |
authoritatively, that Illinois would pre-
sent General Stevenson aud cast its IS |
votes for him for the Vice Presidency. |
W hat took place at this conference no |
one knows. but when the distinguished |
Congressman emerged he announced to |
his fellow Democrats of Illinois that the |
votes of New York would be cast for |
Stevenson, and that victory was assured. |
To the Convention at large the intentions |
of the New York delegation we're a
secret until that State was reached on
the roll call. Up to that time Stevenson |
and Gray were leadi ing with about equal |
strength, and Morse and Mitchell were
following in about the order named.
NEW YoRK's VOTE.
There was period of almost breath
less silence when the name of New York |
was called, and the slight hesitancy of |
the delegation in responding only added
to the intensity of the interest. New
York has 70 votes for the Hon. Adai E.
Stevenson, of Illinois," said Governor
Flower, and pandemonium broke loose
in the enthusiasm that the remark in
spired from the thousands of Iilinoisans
that thronged the galleries and crowded
the corridor and aisles. The remainder
of the roll call was but formal.
What is lacking is truth and confidence.
If there were absolute truth on the one hand
and absolute confidence on the other, it
wouldn't be necessary for the makers of

plain statement of fact by a $500 guarantee.
They say-'If we can't cure you (make it
personal, please of catarrh in the head, in
any form or stage, we'll pay $500 for your
trouble in making the trial" "An adyer

how some people prefer sickness to health
when the remedy is positive and the guar
antee, absolute. Wise men don't put money
back of "fakes.' And taking" doesn't
pay.
