failed in its purpose TO carry the con-
nention off It's feet They still held
their strongholds of Missouri, Arkan-
sas, Illinois and Texas. and were snil-
ingiy confident that the actual figures
OF the ballot would take from the Bryan
movement its element of popular en-
thusiasIn. The Bland men still counted
on success and were confident of win
ming after the first ballot. The Boies
and Matthews forces were satisfied
that no nomination could be made on
the early ballots and that Bland and
Bryan would disappear after their full
strength had been registered and had
been found insufficient to nominate.
The lesser candidates were playing a
waiting game, believing that the time
would some when the convention would
IN desperation turn from its favorites
end seek others on whom strength
could be concentrated.
THE GOLD PEOPLE.
Great interest centered in the course
Of the New York and other gold dele
cations. These conferences had fail
ed TO bring about a determination TO
bolt, except IN a few individual in
stances, but the purpose on the part Of
New York 20 refrain from taking part
In the ballot had an ominous sugges-
tiveness. With this was coupled the re-
ports from many eastern localities that
Democratic newspapers had declared
against the silver platform adopted
yesterday. The silver leaders did not
seek TO belittle the Importance of this
ettftude by the eastern men and their
press, but labOred TO develop a spirit Of
Cancellation before the convention
closed.
1t was the opinion that should the
presidential nomination be made today
the convention would conclude its la
bors tonight by hurrying through the
nomination Of vice president There
was little or no calculation on the sec
ond place on the ticket as all interest
centeTed for the time on the first place
and on the determination of that, it
was felt, must depend the vice presi-
dsncy. There was but little hope
among the leaders, however, that the
ticket could be perfected today.

The thousands OF spectators took the
negative side Of the question for they
did not want to lose the nights enter

they cent up a wildly enthusiastic
shrek OF approval.
WHITE GETS CRUSTY,
Chairman White was somewhat irri-
pated. apparently, that the delegates
should insist upon a rob can on the
question OF adjournment and endeavor-
ed to hurry the proceedings. 'W hat
Is the matter with Illinois nOw?" he
asked OF one contrary minded delegate
who demanded recognition persistently

and so on down the roll. The sp~cta-

that their tickets would be good to

was adjourned.

An Urtucky Bungle.

On the 21st of Decent Der, 1885, Adj
miral Dundas gave up the command
of the fleet and returned to England.
He was succeeded by Admiral
Lyons, between whom and Dundas a
signal parting took place which will
long be remembered as standing
joke in the navy.
As Admiral Dundas left the feet
at Kamiesch the crews of both Eng
lish and French ships manned the
yards and gave him a parting
cheer. At the same moment, by the
desire of Dundas, signal was run
up to Sir E. Loyns on board the
Agamemnon, MAY success attend
you, to which Sir E. Lyons ordered
to be hoisted in reply, MAY happi-
ness await you.
But though in real life hanging
and happiness are generally consid-
cred to have no very close connec-
ton, yet in the signal code they are
very much alike. Unfortunately, in
the hurry to reply to Admiral Dun
das, the flag for the former instead
of the latter word was hoisted ana
what was worse the stupid blunder
was not discovered and hauled down
till the whole fleet had seen and
read it.-Pearson S Weekly.

take the pains to examine, even in q
casual way, the back streets and
back alleys on both our business and
resident streets, an enormous
amount of manure. decayed vege-
tables. rotten potatoes and other
filth will he found. This refuse has
lain and accumulated for nearly two
years and is dangerous. In addition
to this, the drainage of water is into
these same back streets and alleys,
on account of the grading up of the
lots, so that large ponds Of water
have formed, and, with no outlet
must become stagnant. This stag
nant water carries the filth allowed
to accumulate in the alleys into the
soil, and this filth can be very easily
carried into our wells, as the ground
is very porous as a general thing.
Unless there is a radical change and
thorough clean up, we believe that
an epidemic of typhoid fever must
be the result sooner or later.
If this work was part Of the duties
of the health officer, such duty
should have closer attention, hence
our suggestion to reduce the COM
pensation of that officer from $3.50
to 800 per annum. The $50 so re-
duced. we recommend be laid out in
the following manner:

country is above party, and we believe
that a supreme crisis is at hand. More
over the principles of true Democracy
are not represented either in the candi-
date of the Chicago convention or In
the platform of that convention. The
Democrat has never sought to con
troll the opinions Of others, and we be-
leve that many Of its staunch friends
are those who differ with it upon many
points. It allows no one to interpret
the meaning Of Democracy for it.
