Dublin Newspapers Attacked by an Irish
 Delegate.

DUBLIN, Sept 1.-The Irish national convention yesterday opened with a dramatic scene. Dean Harris of Toron- to was recognized by the chair and im- mediately commenced a heated attack upon Dublin newspapers, asserting that they had "foully insulted" one of the delegates from Ottawa named Heany, charging that he was companion and eonsort of Spy Le Oaron In a mo. lnent the air resounded with yells of "Cowards, , Traitors, and when or der was somewhat restored Dean liar ris called upon the offended Ottawa del- egate to stand up. Heany did so, and repudiated the charge nude against him.
 The discussion of the home rule reso- lution, offered by John Dillon, was then resumed.

column into line, and that is Grover Cleveland Despite the alleged with drawal of Cleveland the sentiment to- wards his nomination has not dimin- ished. The convention is dominated by friends of the administration, and that there are men in every state delegation only awaiting movement of some con centration to throw precedent and third term objections to tha wind and nomi- nate him regardless of his wishes.
 It was II o'clock when Chairman Caf- frey called the national Democratic con vention to order today. At once loud cries for Congressman Breokinridge were made. At the first mention c1 his name there was loud applause Breck- inridge bowed in acknowledgement of the cheers. An uproar of applause and misses followed. At last he responded, denouncing the Chicago platform and candidates and concluded amid an up- roar of cheers.
 Resolutions of respect were adopted on the death of Governor Russell of Massachusetts.
 The report of tho committee on plat form was submitted It declares for 8 single gold standard with such sub sidiary coinage as is necessary without disturbing parity. It does not mention international agreement. and makes no reference to the income tax. The tariff plank. outside of phraseology, is the same as the plank in the Maine sound money platform. There was no minor ity report.
 The platform was adopted by an nnamious vote
 Then came the nomination for presi- dent.
 Delegate Kilburn of Michigan present. ed the name of Senator John NJ. Palmer of Illinois. The delegates then began great applause, about two-thirds were on their feet cheering for Palmer.
 Mir. Jones of Wisconsin presented the name of General Bragg. When he called General Bragg ''the commander of the old iron brigade" there was gen eral cheering.

 INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. S.-Although the Democratic convention proper held no session last night, almost as much inter- est as attaches to the convention, cen tered upon the massmeeting held at Convention hall Some of the most popular orators i'll the country, who are delegates to the convention, were billed to speak, and their names drew q bril- liant, welldressed audience, one which filled tho galleries and the floor, and in- eluded large proportion of ladies. Many delegates were in their seats un- der the state guidons. The speakers were late so that the band filled the time until :80, when J. MoDowell Trimble of Kansas City, called the meeting to order in place of Hon ". D. Bynum, who was detained.
 Colonel Fellows of New York was se- lected chairman HjS@ .introddctory speech was in his custosiary eloquent vein and was frequently cheered
 Colonel Fellows wasS followed. by Louis R. Erich of ColorAao, who was followed by E. F. Farrar of Louisiana. Both received good attention and ap- plause.
 One of the strongest speeches was made by Hon. Charlton T. Lewis of New Jersey, who although unknown to many of the audience, won great favor by the strength of his eloquence.
 Mr Lawler of Minnesota made stir ring speech of about a half hour in length Ills utterances were frequently interrupted by applause, and at the con olusion of his speech he was hberally cheered.
 There were many calls for Colonel W. O. P. Breckinridge, but he failed to respond.

There Is Tight on as to Who Shall

 INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 8.-Tbere seems to be an almost unanimous sentiment in favor of Buckner of Kentucky for vice president, though the contest for presi- dent is still open. Although General Bragg has been seemingly in the lead so far, powerful influences are at work to defeat him, A strong effort is being made to bring out Senator Palmer or John O. Black of Illinois, and Secretary Morton of Nebraska and David Lawler of Minnesota are enjoying inoipient honors. Senator Palmer does not de- sire the nomination and there is said to be letter here from Secretary Morton declining to permit the use of his name. Were not General Bragg in the way Senator Villas might be nominated, but he absolutely refuses to consider the question as long as General Bragg is in the field. Watterson's boom does not grow.

Miss Yaw Reaches it With the Greatest
of Ease

Miss Yaw Reaches it With the Greatest
of Ease.
The vocal concert of Miss Ellen
Beach Yaw, the phenomenal Califor-
mia soprano altissimO, will be given at
Reeds Opera House, Monday evening.
The concert itself will undoubt-
edly be the crowning sensation OF the
season. Miss Yaw has received the
most flattering comments from COM
petent critics wherever she has ap-
peared, proclaiming her the matchless
soprano altissimo, of two hemispheres.
She comes hereladed as the most
wonderful singer Of the age, and the
local lyric world is on the qui vive, to
hear her. Her voice is under wonder
full control, and it is in the singing of
the high notes that her triumph is
most marked.
For a singer to be able to reach Il
in altissimo with the greatest OF ease
is in itself a wonder.
