DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMIT


at a meeting held in New York. AS
Democratic national chairman, Mr..
Harrity conducted the national cam
paign of 1892, which resulted in the
election of Cleveland and Stevenson.
1t is generally understood that be-
cause of his efficient services to the
Democratic party, and OF his devotion
to President Cleveland during his can
didacy for the nomination and election
as president in 1892, Mr. Harrity would
have been appointed as a member of
President Cleveland cabinet had he
not indicated his inability and disin-
clination to accept the position, Mr..
Harrity preferring to continue in the
office of secretary of state of Penn
sylvania until the end of his term
January Is, 1880
Mr.. Harrity was delegate at-iarge
to the Democratic national convention
of 1896 and by unanimous vote was
made chairman of the Pennsylvania
delegation to that convention. He was
also unanimously reelected as the
Pennsylvania member of the Demo-
cratic national committee. AS chair
man of the Democratic national COM
mittee he presided over the
DELIBERATIONS OF THE CHI
CAGO CONVENTION
with such signal ability, impartiality
and dignity, that Senator John w.
Daniel of Virginia, who succeeded Mr..
Harrity as presiding officer of the con-
vantion, paid high tribute to his
fairness and ability.
Subsequently, Senator Jones of Ar
kansas, who was elected as Mr.. Har-
rity's successor as chairman of the
Democratic national committee, Of
fered a resolution which was unan-
imously and enthusiastically adopted,
thanking Mr.. Harrity for the admir-
able manner in which he had presided
over the convention.
In the same convention Mr.. Harrity
received twenty-one votes for vice
president. The successful part taken
by Mr.. Harrity in the Chicago con-
vention was a matter of frequent and
favorable comment. Not only was he
commended for the skill and ability
displayed by him during the three
hours in which he presided over the
convention, but the nomination for the
presidency was within his reach
It is authoritatively stated that pronli-
nent free silver leaders declared that
if Mr.. Harrity were willing to stand
upon the platform adopted he would
receive their support for the vice
presidency and be nominated Mr..

tual tender of the Craftsmanship of the
Democratic committee to Mr. Harrity.
yet it is known that enough of the
free silver members of the commit
tee were personally friendly to his re-
election as chairman had he consented
that they should do so. Mr.. Harrity
replied to them, and all Of the others
who spoke to him on the subject that
he would not accept the craftsmanship
again, regardless of the platform and
candidates. Mr.. Harrity announced
emphatically that he will not resign
his position as. a member Of the ma
tional committee from this state There

CHARLES wEATHERLY's vAGAR1Es. WHICH
CAUSED HIS ARREST FOR INSANITY.
Policeman Dugan. OF the Jefferson Market Court
SQUAD arraigned I'm that court yesterday morning
Charles Weatherly q good-looking man. fifty years
old whom he had arrested at his home. No West
Thirty-eghth-st. Monday night on warrant that
had been issued the request Of his sister Char
lotte of the same address. who contended that the
brother Is insane.
Miss Weatherly told Magistrate kudlich that her
brother had been acting strangely for some time.
Two weeks ago he conceived the idea that he
should refuse to eat anything and should cease
living in the upper part OF the house. In spite
OF all entreaties her part he went into the cellar
and seated himself upon the cement moor. refusing
TO take with him even chair. He had not come
out Of the cellar until he was arrested and during
ali this time he had refused to eat anything. He
had lived entirely upon water that he had been
able to get in the cellar.
When Policeman Dugan went TO the house Mon
day night he found the prisoner sitting In the cellar
near the stairs and talking ncoherently with HIM
self At first he refused to 20 with the policeman.
but after a good deal of persuasion he said that he
would accompany him 10 court, as he did not fear
that the Magistrate would send him to prison
In his own behalf Weatherly told the Maglstra: -
that he was not crazy. He said he had gone into
the cellar simply TO amuse himself and that he
declared that he had not eaten simply because he
was not hungry and that as soon as he had desire
for food he would eat heartily as any one. He
begged that he be discharged.
tstrate Kudiich committed Weatherly to the care
OF the Commissioners OF Charities and Correction
for n period exceeding five days for an examina-
ton to his sanity.
