HAD "A LIVELY SESSION.
The Dublin Convention So Far is Not
Success.

INC OuDAIm convention so Far NOT
Success.
DUBLIN, September 3.-With the Most
Reverend Patrick ODonnell in the chair.
the third days session of the Irish national
convention opened at IL o'clock this morn
Ing. 1t cannot be said that the convention
up to the present has been a success. The
end which 1t was hoped to obtain was the
uniting Of all the warning factions in the
Irish parlia mentary party and out of it,
and it cannot be denied that when the del
egates assembled this morning they were
as far from deciding upon any plan for at
tanning unity as they were when the call
ing Of the convention was first decided
upon.
The session today opened with a dra-
matte scene. Dean Harris Of Toronto was
recognized by the chair and he immeii-
ately commenced a heated attack upon the
Dublin newspapers. asserting that they had
"foully insulted' one Of the delegates from
Ottawa, Mr.. Heaney. in charging that he
was companion and consort OF the spy
Lecaron."
In a moment the air resounded with yells
of towards" TRAITORS" etc, etc, and
much tumult followed.
When order was somewhat restored Dean
Harris described Mr.. Heaney's career in
Canada, asserting 1t was most honor
able one. and. finally. called upon the Of
tended Ottawa delegate to stand up
1Achcy 81, Silu uiiuc d tciiihS
speech. during which he repudiated the
charge made against him by the Dublin
press.
At the conclusion Of his remarks. M.
Hearey was loudly cheered.
The regular business of the day was then
com menced. A resolution requesting infor-
nation as to the disposition Of the so-called
Paris funds was Withdrawn. The dele
gates then resumed discussion Of the home
rule resolution offered by Mr.. John Dillon.
Canon McCartin argued that the leaders
Of the liberal party were not the friends OF
Ireland.
Mr.. Costigan Of Ottawa, Canada, spoke
hopefully of the results which would be
attained by the convention.
Mr.. Fitzgerald OF London contended that
the time has arrived to make English gov
eminent of Ireland impossible
Mr.. Il. J. Ryan Of New York repudiated
the assertion attributed to the Parnall;te
press that the American delegates were
nothing more than "lot Of ramps" In
SO doing. AIR. Ryan explained in detail the
position and qualities of the American dele
gates, asserting that they were representa-
tive citizens, and well worthy Of represent
ing the Irishmen of the United States.

talked with him. and when he left the plat
form he said: Il believe Senator Pal-.>>
will be the nominee. He declines to per-
nit the use of his name, but qualities the
statement by saying that II nominated
against his wish his declination will not be
irrevocable.''
Permanent Chairman Caffery appeared
on the stage at exactly IL o'clock. the hour
to which the convention adjourned, and
was given round Of applause.
Cheers and Kisses for Breckinridge.
When General Buckner Of Kentucky en-
tered. the convention rose to its feet and
gave him three cheers. The enthusiasm
created by his entrance had not subsidized
before the crowd caught sight Of the strik-
ing head and shoulders of Col. Breckin-
ridge, as he elbowed his way to his seat
in the Kentucky delegation. Immediately
thereafter breckenridge, Breckenridge"
came from all parts of the hall. The crowd
arose en- masse and craned their necks to
catch glimpse of the silver-tongued orator
from the blue grass state. But amid the
cheers and applause and cries sharp
sibilant misses could be heard. Col. Breck-
inridge bowed profoundly in acknowledge
ment of the compliment paid him. Several
times the cries and cheers for the Ken
tuckian were renewed. Each time the Kisses
grew louder and more ominOus.
By this time every seat in the nall was
occupied, and the galleries were crowded
Fully 1900 people were in the hail. There
was much pent-up enthusiasm, which
found its escape valve in noisy demonstra-
ton at every opportunity presented. At
II 30 Permanent Chairman Gallery called
the convention to order. There was no
prayer
Senator CafYery informed the convention
that the committee on resolutions was NOT
ready to report and begged its patient in
diligence for a few moments
He had hardly finished the sentence be-
fore a thousand voices shouted for Breck-
irridge. The galleries and delegates Joined

NORFOLK, Va, September 3.-The total
number of buildings destroyed by last

dwellings containing from three to eight
families. all of whom are made homeless.

The entire loss will hardly be more than
$4,000 or $4,000, and the insurance will
cover fully three-fourths OF this. The

CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS.


Stirring Scenes in the Gathering This
Morning.
INDIANAPOLIS. September 3.-The dele
gates to the gold standard democratic con-
vention assembled slowly today, but despite
the dtsagreeable drizzle outside. the ticket
holders were eager to secure entrance
Today a larger proportion Of the occu-
pants of the galleries were ladies than on
yesterday. Between the intervals Of mu-
sic the hall buzzed with the hum of con-
versation.
The topic uppermost in the minds Of WIS.,
itors and delegates was the nominee. 1t
was conceded that Buckner's nom.nat ton
for Vice President was a certainty, and the
speculation concerned the selection of the
candidate Of those who did not believe Gen.
Bragg was the strongest selection who
could be named. The news of President
Cleveland's telegram to the chairman of
the New York delegation declining to per-
nit the use Of his name was accepted by
the convention as final
The fact that Senator Palmer had de-
clihed. for personal reasons, to allow his
name to be used, was not generally known
when he appeared on the stage, and he
was given a rousing ovation. Soon after
he took his seat Mr.. Curtis of New Jersey

INDIANAPOLIS, September 3.-The plat

declares for single gold standard, with
such subsidiary coinage as is necessary
without disturbing the parity. 1t 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 is no minority report.
The platform says:
This convention has assembled to uphold
the principles upon which depend the
honor and welfare Of the American people,
in order that democrats throughout the
Union may unite their patriotic efforts to
avert disaster from their country and ruin
from their party.
The democratic party Is pledged to equal
and exact Justice to all men Of every creed
and condition; to the largest freedom of
the individual consistent with good gov
eminent; to the preservation OF the federal
government in its constitutional vigor, and
to the support OF the states in all their
Just rights; to economy In the public ex-

penditures; to the maintenance of the pub
lie faith and sound money; and it is OPP
posed to paternalism and ALL class legis-
lation.
The declarations of,the Chicago conven-
ton attack Individual freedom, the right
Of private contract, ,the independence of
the judiciary arp the authority of the Pres
ident to ENFORCE federal laws. They advo-
cate reckless attempt to increase the
price of silver iegiAlation to the debase-
ment Of our monetary standard. and
threaten unlimited issues of paper money

They abandon for, republican allies the
democratic Cause Of tariff reform to court
the favor Of protecttonists to their fiscal
heresy
In view Of these and other grave depar-
lures from democratic principles we can
not support the candidate Of that conve1-
tfon nor be bound by it's acts.
The democratic party has survived many
defeats, but could not survive a victory
won in behalf Of the doctrine and policy
pre- claimed In its name at Chicago. The
conditions. however, which make possible
such utterances from a national convention
are the direct result Of class legislation
by the republican party.
power and duty Of government to raise and
maintain prices by law; and 1t proposes no
remedy for existing evils except oppressive
and unjust taxation.
The national democracy here reconvened.
therefore. renews its declaration of faith In
democratic principles, especially as appli-
cable to the conditions Of times.
Taxation, tariff, excise or direct. Is right
fully imposed only for public purposes. and
not for private gain.
Its amount is justly measured by public
expenditures, which should be limited by
scrupulous economy. The sum derived by
the treasury from tariff and excise levies
Is affected by the state of trade and volume
of consumption. The amount required by
the treasury Is determined by the appro-
Eriatiors made by Congress.
The demand Of the republican party for
an increase in tariff tax has its pretext in
the deficiency Of revenue, which has its
causes in the stagnation of trade and re-
drced consumption. due entirely to the
loss of confidence that has followed the
fopulfst threat of free coinage and de-
probation Of our money and the republic
can practice of extravagant appropria-
tions beyond the needs OF good govern
ment. We arraign and condemn the popu-
istc conventions Of Chicago and st. Louis
for their cooperation. ....-..... .-.

CLEVELAND DECLINES.
Judgment and Personal INCLINATION
Opposed to Taking a Nomination.


INDIANAPOLIS. September 3-As a COM
hative, and 1t Is believed, a final argu-
ment against the nomination of President
Cleveland, Daniel G. Griffin, chairman of
the New York delegation, this .norning dis
played these kilograms, the ideas OF which
were conveyed in dispatches Of the Asso-
c!ated Press last night. This first tele
gram is a dispatch sent early last night
by Mr.. Griffin to Mr.. Cleveland at Buz-
Yards Bay:
INDIANAPOLIS, September 2.
To Hon. Grover Cleveland:
There has been manifested an unmis-
taxable desire upon the part of the con-
vention to nominate you for the presi
dency. The New York delegation Is anx
tots to learn your personal wishes and
would consider 1t an honor to vote for
your nomination.
DANIEL G. GRIFFIN, Chairman.
To which telegram Mr.. Cleveland at
late hour sent this brief but conclusive
answer:
BUZZARD'S BAY. Mass. Sept. 2.
To Hon. Daniel G. Griffin, chairman New
York delegations:
MY judgment and personal inclinations
are so unalterably opposed that 1 cannot
for one moment entertain the suggestion.
GROVER CLEV ELAND."
Chairman Griffin was asked if New York
had any other choice In the matter of
presidential candidates, and replied:
Il think NOT. We may decide that later
but at present there is no decision"
The exchange of courteses between New
York and President Cleveland and the fact
that Mr.. Cleveland chose to give his ulti-
natum into the hands Of the New York
delegation occasioned no little comment

convention. This. they say. would cause no
end Of trouble, as Cleveland would de-
cline and the convention would be thrown
into confusion.
One Of the leading delegates from Illi-
nois says that the friends of Cleveland are
forced in self-defense to insist upon Palm
er in order to save Cleveland from embar-
rassment and the convention from trouble.
Mr. Forman of Illinois just told me that
Palmer's nomination was practically a GER
tainty. All the anti-Bragg people seem to
think they can make this plan work.
The destination of Cleveland, Watterson
and Of Palmer has thrown the convention
into confusion. The Bragg people are not
united. and the opposition are looking
around wildly for a candidate. When
Palmer entered the hall today the dele
gates assembled stood up and cheered,
waving their hats.
The old Senator blushed and bowed re-
peatedly. The opposition to Bragg is bob
bling between Black and Lawler, neither
being entirely satisfactory. Before the day
is over ore Of them may have an inspira-
ton and suggest q name that win carry
the convention. Bragg's friends do not ex-
pect such an inspiration, and the old gen
eral stands the picture of cynicism await

Do WITHOUT TROLLEY POLES.
Chcmnitz Has Adopted System of
OrnameRtaI. ROseftes,


Chemnitz, Saxony, two years ago
banished horses from her street cars
and substituted the, trolley In a re-
port TO the state department Consul
j. G. Monaghan says one Of the princi-
pal novelties of the adopted system is
that no poles are used. The method
of stringing wires is by means of orna-
mental rOsetteS fastened into the wood
work or walls of houses, having pro-
Jectlng hooks to Which the wires are at
tached. These hooks are firmly fast
ened and are tested with seven times
the weight theydwadB be called upon to
bear. Owners OF houses, without ex-
ception, preferred I'd allow the use of
their houses free rather than have poles
on the sidewalk The streets through
which the cars wind their way are
wider than Washington street, Boston,
or Westminster street, Providence. The
railway tracks, in conformity to the
law, are level with the pavement and
accidents to vehicles of any kind are
rare. The gauge is narrower than in
America, but the cars keep the track
and run as rapidly and smoothly as in
the United States. In the heart Of
the city they run 220 yards per minute
and in the suburbs 800 yards per min
ute, says the Scientific American.
The increase of traffic since the in
liCOuCllOll III tiGclf1CIy IN C0Gmn1tZ
has been so per cent. The cars have no
conductors The notorman is the only
person on board who represents the
company. By doing away with conduc-
tors the company saves A, 600 marks
annually. The fare is only 10 pfennigs.
or trifie less than 21a cents, on all
routes, including transfers. Should
100000 persons evade payment in twelve
months the loss would be only Is. 600
marks. 1t would take 100000 evasions
in fare to offset the company's savings
by dispensing with conductors salaries.
Among people who pay for food and
drink in restaurants, saloons and gar
dens on their honor alone 1t is unlikely
the company loses. much. Culprfts in
this respect. whenlI detected, are pun
ished by having their names adver-
tfsed in the newspapers as a warning
to others. Fare boxes are attached to
both ends of the car, so there is no such
excuse offered as difficulty in getting
