AMERICAS GREATNESS. Our wealth
is one-third in excess of that of Great
Britain, and equal that of Germany,
Austria and Spain put together. Our
manufactures are nearly double those
of England. In Agriculture we sur
pass Russia, including Poland. Our
railroads carry more tons of freight
than all the railroads and ships of
the rest of the world. According to
Mulhall, the productive power of the
United States has trebled since 1860,
and is now by far the greatest in the
world. 1t has been shown that we
produce and consume, of all COM
modities taken together, more than
haif as much as all the balance of the
world.

drowned on the North Carolina coast by
the capsizing Of boat in an attempt to
land from blockade runner. The Con-
federate vessel in which she was a pas
senger had been SO closely pursued that
the captain beached her and took his
people off i'll boats The blockade run
ners refused to carry lady passengers
after that, and the captain of a new
vessel, calling at Bermuda On the way
to Wilmington, declared that he would
not take Mrs. McGhee for 900 in
gold. She felt like stranded wanderer
on an ocean island and in desperation
went on board the day before the ship
was to sail, ostensibly for a friendly
visit with the Confederate agent, but
really to try some means of softening
the captains heart. The master was an
English naval officer on his first trip
and bound to go through at all risks.
He positively refused the appeal, but
one of the owners happened to be on
board and within hearing. When the
plucky southern woman declared her
readiness to take the risk of running the
blockade under fire if necessary, he Of.
fered to give up his stateroom for her
accommodation.

where, sheltered from the sun, spent my
days watching for and in dread of the
Yankee cruisers. On our approach to
the coast of North Carolina the captain
suggested that if / carried any letters
or papers that would not like to have

prepare them in such manner as to in
sure them from the possibility of cap
ture. l had been intrusted with a largo
number of private papers, which, if
captured, might involve some people in
trouble. These were made into bundls
and attached to heavy weight to sink
them in case of attack.

lights at distance, apparently on the
surface of the water, growing larger
and brighter every moment. Soon we
saw the light from the fleet, shining
brilliantly, and l discovered that we
were gliding swiftly and silently along
in the darkness, under the shadows,
while hugging the shore as closely as
safety permitted Unseen and unsus-
pected of the enemy, we stole rapidly
past. Then, leaving the numberless
lights behind us, we were soon safe I'M

The ship which bore Mrs. McGhee
was new one freighted with ammuni-
ton, which was just then a godsend to
the Confederacy. She landed all her
cargo and passengers safely in Will

Refuse to Abide by the Decision of the Con-
vention Giving Seats to the Junta
Forces From the City of

erence to municipal matters until Joseph
NJ. Nougues of the Junta delegation inter-
rupted to ask:
How about the municipal ticket?"
Clune evaded direct answer by declar-
ing municipal politics should not be made
an issue in a State convention. He wan
dered somewhat from the question and
when called to order by Chairman Gould
remarked with feigned expression OF res
ignation on his face:
1--WE have had so many shutoffs that
suppose this is only another"
His address in full was as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and Gen ntlemen of the Conven-
tion-At the outset OF the few remarks that
intend to make / desire to repudiate the
statements that have gone forth that the San
Francisco delegation of which ! am member
intends to bolt the Democratic party no mat
ter what the decision you gentlemen arrive at.
That no matter whether you may turn us from
this hall or may seat us with half vote in
this convention, we desire to say that we will
go back to San Francisco and no matter what
you do we will work earnestly-work morning
noon and night-for the success of the man
nominated at Chicago on the Democratic plat
form for President of the United States. [Ap-
plause.l
ment that has gone forth that this delegation
which comes from San Francisco is under the
control or domination of Christopher Buckley
or any other man or set of men. 1 want to say
that this delegation comes here headed By its
chairman, and for one, and speaking for the
delegation, say that we are here to-day under
the leadership of that gallant ana noble Demo-
crat, the Hon. James l. Stanton, the present
Railroad Commissioner of the State of Cali
fornia. [Applausel-
So far as the personal matter of sitting with
you in this convention is concerned--of asso-
ciating with you, gentlemen-of course we
recognize it as a great pleasure; but we of this
delegation who come from San Francisco are
at great disadvantage We left our places of
business and our families, and we come here
simply out of our love for the Democratic
party; and l assure you it would have been
much more pleasant not to come, if we did
not believe that the Democratic party of San
Francisco should be hsrmonized and not torn
asunder by the factions that have arisen in
that City.

CONVENTION HALL, SACRAMENTO,
CAL, June 17.-Chairman Gould's first rap
of the gavel was not heard in the conven-
ton at IL o'clock this morning, though 8
o'clock had been the hour set for calling it
to order. Gould evidently feared that the
Buckley people had repeated their trick OF
yesterday and had taken seats in the Junta
reservation, for he requested all delegates
who could not find seats in the places
assigned them to report to the chairman
and he would see that they were given
their seats, but no complaints were forth
coming.
The report of the committee on creden-
tials was called for and was read by the
chairman of the committee, Miles Wallace
of MADEIRA. 1t provided for the seating of
A. r. Baum, George w. Dennis Jr., H. w.
Bradley and Fred Wild in the contest
from Alameda Township and. of w. B..
White from the Third Ward of Oakland.
1t also, as was expected by every one con-
versant with the situation, seated the en-
tire Junta delegation.
At its conclusion Battersby, one of the
repudiated Democratic delegates from San
Francisco, attracted the attention of the
the neighborhood of the Seventh District
delegation and secured recognition. Be-
fore the chairman had time to realize that
he had conceded the floor to a would-be
firebrand Battersby had hurled this def
ance at the Junta:
1--WE have been put out of the conven-
tion, and now we give you your freedom to
elect your ticket in San Francisco"
A. ]. CIunie of Solano, amid laughter
over his migratory propensities, movsd
that all the portion of the report referring
to San Francisco be stricken out and that
the members of both factions be given a
half vote each.
There was no second to the amendment
and il was in danger of dying of neglect
when James II. OBrien of Santa Cruz,
better known as an anti-Junta man from
San Francisco, came to the rescue with a
second. This gave Clunie the opportunity
to speak. He promised the support of his
San Francisco delegation to the National
ticket, whether the delegation was given
seats or not, but carefully avoided all ref

the irony of fate. The Sunfower orator,
the pride of Kansas, was few years ago a
leader of the Senate, yet to-day rs scribe
without proper credentials he was denied
admission to the National Republican
Convention until vouched for by a fellow
reporter.
The hands of the great clock pointed to
2:3o and the immense brass band had
blown and pounded itself warm and
weary. About three-fourths of the chairs
in the convention hall were occupied.
The hall then began to fill up rapidly, and
at 2:40 o'clock, when the convention was
called to order, every available seat on the
floor and in the galleries was occupied.
Then followed the chaplain's prayer, at
the close of which an enthusiastic and ir-
reverent individual in the gallery cried

sented Chairman Thurston with a gavel

of Chicago also offered a gavel of oak
wood, which he explained was fashioned
from an oak plank of Abraham Lincoln's s
primitive dwelling house.
The report of the committee on Gre
dentials was then submitted, after which
Congressman Hepburn took the platform
to offer the minority report of that COM
mittee. The Iowan is a man of command
ing presence, and as he stepped to the
front he was recognized by delegates and
spectators. His purpose being surmised.

But lead, after all, to this STILL cozy nook.
