his face, but kicked him under the coat
tail.
The detection in the leading newspapers
of the party is ominous. They are drop
ping off every day, some Of them advising
their readers to support the Republican
nominees and others advising a sound
money Democratic convention and ticket.
Dana and the New York Sun were Obliged
to desert this bogus Democracy. Then
followed the Brooklyn Eagle, the Rich
mond Times, the Chicago Stats Zeitung,
the Chicago Chronicle and host of other
Democratic newspapers, which have been
forced to bolt the party because their sub
scribers demanded such action. No news
paper can afford to fiy in the faces of the
people who subscribe for and advertise in
it, and when a Democratic paper bolts its
party it is an evidence that the Democrats
who support it have also bolted the party.
The Richmond (Va.) Times CD says
this morning:
"Our worst fears have not only been
realized, but new and horrible doctrines
have been added to the Chicago platform
which cannot possibly bind Democrat
who is unwilling to abandon the funda-
mental principles of his party"
/ The fact that the delegates of New York,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Massachusetts
and other sound-money States did not
vote. but remained silent and inactive in
their seats can have but one interpreta-
ton, and that is that the sound money
Democrats, unable to support the b. and
s. Populistic tonic of silver Democracy,
have decided to call sound-money con-
vention and nominate two sound-money
men for whom the great mass of Eastern
Democrats may vote. That this will be
done / have no doubt. 1t will be life
and death struggle between the two fac
tons OF the Democracy, and the Republi-
cans will hold reserved seats in the bull
ring with Mr.. Hobart of New Jersey as
timekeeper and Major Mckinley of Ohio
as referee and undertaken.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, July 1.-THE finale
of the convention at Chicago proves to
have developed out of the purpose Incl
dentally revealed from the beginning.
The country expected BANDS nomina-
ton. He had age, experience, undeniabie
honesty and Democratic record. A
member of john r. McLean's delegation
discounted all this by informing the coun-
try that Bland, shouting Methodist,
reared in the amen corner and still labor
ing in the love feasts of his church to keep
on ''prayin' ground and pleadin' TERMS"
has Catholic wife. and that these two
have lived in Christian peace. AS such
peace is coming to be regarded as treason
in this country, in the racket of the last
ballot McLean's delegation ran away from
the Missourian and helped nominate to
the Presidency the descendant of an Irish
Orangeman and "boy orator" at that.
Some things are now accounted for.
One can see why the most conspicuous
opponent of the A. P. a. in the Union
was expelled from the Michigan delega-
ton and how the surprises were so we'll
arranged and sprung upon the conven-
ton. Perhaps it is fortunate that all the
''isms" of the country are getting in one
crowd, that the open enemies of public
order and the secret enemies of personal
conscience are grouped where patriotism
and principle can smile and destroy them.

land, bolts and the honest and thrifty
German vote bolts with it. The old line
Democrats are not lured by the song of sue
cess. They will not surrender to promises
of a share in the fruits of victory, for they
refuse to profit upon the ruin of their
country.
Therefore, the movement which l find
in every State in the Union to preserve
the party and its principles and defeat the
dynamite ticket adopted at Chicago. That
ticket is pledged to every vice that ulcer
ates in American politics. 1t is leprous

religious prescription. The twin fairies
characterized in the first of these dis
patches are now the center of group of
evil spirits never before joined IN a COM
mon cause.

York before the third ballot could be
taken, though he still retained scattering
supporters.
Mr.. McLean's name was not formally
placed in nomination, but was brought
before the convention by the Ohio delega-
ton voting for him. Starting with III
votes he ran up to 296 on the fourth bal
lot, and then the chairman of the Ohio
delegation read a telegram from him
stating that all votes cast for him were
cast against his expressed wish and with
out his authority. Although the chairman
OF the Ohio delegation qualified this decla-
ration by saying it was the voice of Mr..
Mclean and not that of the delegation,
the convention listened to Mr.. Mclean
and he passed out.
Arthur Sewall of Maine, though present
In the city as member of the National
Democratic Committee and in the con-
vention just before receiving his NOM
ination, and though for many years
chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee of Maine, was personally known to
few members on the floor. He was placed
In nomination by delegate from the
distant State of California, who gave no
personal details as to the candidate. The
seconder of Mr.. Sewall Mr.. Thomas of
Colorado, added little to the information
possessed by the convention except that
he testified to Mr.. Sewall's business ability
as shipbuilder, railroad president and
bank president.
On the first ballot Mr.. Sewall received
100 votes. On the second these dropped
down to 81. They jumped up again to 81
on the third ballot. After the withdrawal
OF Bland and Sibley he reached second
place on the fourth ballot. standing 261 to
McLean's 296, and was nominated unani-
mously on the fifth ballot. There was
nothing more then for the convention to
do bnt to pass the customary votes Of
thanks and adjourn. 1t did SO in compaf-
alive silence.
