crowd at Whitestown Tuesday night. The

when a gang of Democrats came UP and

That's a lie, you - Irish -
After the speaking the gang followed the
small crowd of Lebanon people, who had
gone over in a hack to attend the speak

that Jack Orme, one of the Lebanon

was hit over the head with q club. Further
trouble was narrowly averted by the inter-

crowd was allowed to drive home. The

In the Interest of Cleveland.

An anonymous circular was distributed
among the delegates yesterday, just before
the convention was called to order, which
gave the following reasons why Cleveland
should be nominated:
Because he is the exponent of all the
principles which we advocate.
Because his record would supply all
omissions in the platform.
Because he is the logical candidate Of a
party which stands first of all for national
honor and individual integrity.
Because his nomination would advertise
to the world that the Democratic party is
opposed to Reputation in any form.
Because his nomination would defne
true Democracy better than a volume of
words.
Because he is the greatest vote-winner
in the Democratic party.
Because he is the only man who has led
the party to victory in thirty-five years.
nRecalISa he is the man of the hour.

A fter The Senate had gone through with

was precipitated by an amendment offered
by Mr.. Chandler On behalf of the Naval
Committee, prohibiting officers of the
Navy, or of the Marine Corps, on the
retired list, from taking employment in the
service OF persons or companies supplying
materials TO the government.
the proposition had special reference TO
the Carnegie and Bethlehem concerns. II
was antagonized by Mr.. Gray and was
supported by all the members of the Naval
Committee taking part in the debate.
MIR. Gray asked why a retired naval Of
ficer retired perhaps on account OF color
blindness should be debarred from using
his talents in private employment.
OPPOSED BY GRAY.
Such officer might not be as efficient,
physically, as board OF surgeons thought
he ought to be, although he might be as
efficient as any officer who walked the
deck or an American vessel. And why,
he asked, should such officer be con-
signed to beggary, by being put on q re-
tired list along with drunkards and i'm
beetles.
Mr.. Chandler, said that Officers who
were retired on account of misconduct
were not put on the retired list, which
was a list OF honor.
Mr.. Hale sustained the anne ndInent. He
said that contractors were constantly seek
ing to get advantage OF the government,
to get enormous profits, aud to deplete
the treasury. A naval officer under pay
