Presentation Of Candidates.

A motion Of Mr.. Breckinridge Of Ken
tucky to proceed to the nomination Of a
candidate TO stand on the exoellent plat
form adopted was carried. Thereupon the
call Of stat for nominations was begun.
l.. J.. Kilbourne Of Michigan placed
Senator Palmer in nomination and there
was q series Of second speeches. Burr W.
Jones Of Wisconsin nominated General
Bragg. "the hero OF so battles and the
commander Of the Iron Brigade" Illinois
waited until all the other states had been
called. Theb Judge Moran of Chicago
took the stand and said they had recog-
nized from the first that Senator Palmer
was the man to lead the fight. He was,
no said, a platform in himself. All his
life he had fought fiatism, greenbaokism,
free silver and other vagaries. But he had
sealed their lips After seeing the temper
OF the convention. however, he said Hi
nois was compelled to join hands with her
| sister states in support Of Senator Palmer
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1896-03-20
He Saw II Point at Last.

Obtuseness of Englishmen in appre
ciating the point of a story was clever
ly illustrated today in a yarn spun on
sofa in the story-tellers' angle, as
one of the corners in the House of Rep
resentatives is designated. An Ameri-
can and an Englishman were doing
the Old Country on foot, and at cross
road they came to signpost which
gave the distance from that point to
the nearest town, stating the number
of miles in figures. Beneath this was
the inscription: "If you can't read or
write ask the blacksmith opposite, and
he will direct you on your way"
The humor of this suggestion was
appreciated instantly by the American,
who laughed uproariously, while the
Englishman's face was as expression
less as the chalky cliffs of Dover. Aft
er the pair had trudged three or four
miles the Englishman suddenly burst
into loud and boisterous laugh, to
the amazement of his American COM
panion.
What on earth are you laughing at
so heartily?" asked the Yankee.
"Why, the point of that signboard
inscription has just become apparent
to me" replied the Englishman. Sup
pose the bloomin' blacksmith wasn't
there to give the necessary directions.
