lnee, for ytce-Prcsidcncy.
DENVER, COL. June 25.-Norman r.
Mack, OF Buffalo, arrived to-day, bring
Ing with him a boom for Lieutenant
Governor Chanler. of New York, for
the vice presidential nomination..
"Conceding the nomination for first
place to Mr.. Bryan. he said. II think
the nomination for vice-President
should go to New York State Mr..
Chanler has demonstrated his popular
5lty there, and ain very sure his
name would add strength to the tie
ket."
would he be acceptable to Mr..
Bryan?e he was asked.
"of course. Mr.. Bryan is not at
running mate Mr.. Mack replied, "but
i don't mind telling you that in Lin
coin yesterday discussed Mr.. chanler
with him, and am sure the selection
would not be displeas:ng.'
Mr. Mack was accompanied by his
wife. who will remain here with him
until after the convention. He is a
member OF the committee on arrange
ments. Immediately after breakfast
he took off his coat and went to work
with his colleagues to prepare details
for the convention. He predicts a
large attendance from Eastern cities.
Mr. Mack reiterated to-day the state
ment he made yesterday in Lincoln.
that he believed no government own
ershtp plank or mention of government
ownership Of railroads would be in the
Democratic platform.
This Is the Impression gained from
a talk with Mr.. Bryan while T was in
lincoln added Mr.. Mack. 81 do not
believe that the convention and Mr..
Bryan are going to be at variance on
{ the platform. / have fairly good
idea of what the majority of the con-
vention will be satisfied with. and !
think / have fairly good idea OF
what Mr.. Bryan has in mind in that
connection. and it is my belief tina,
there will be no considerable differ
ence of opinion between the. leaders
Of the convention and the Nehraskan.'

NEW YORK. June 25.-with the
OF the ballots cast in the last mayoralty
election to-day came charges by Clar-.
ence j. Shearn, counsel for William r,
Hearst. that the ballot boxes had
been stuffed. When Mr.. Hearst began
his legal contest for the Mayors Of
flee now occupied by George B. Nc
Clellan, he had q plurality OF 1884
votes to overcome. The returns from
the contents of onlyl6orty-six out OF
total OF 1,e48 ballot boxes remained
to be received when court adjourned
to-day. The vote In all the boxes but
three In Manhattan. still held up by
the courts order, have been rccounted,
but the result OF the recount Of those
in forty-three boxes in the borough OF
Richmond has not been made known
to the court. AS the recount stands.
with the contents OF forty-six boxes
unreported, Hearst has made net gain
OF S63, leaving a plurality OF 2,971 for
Mayor Mcclellan.
Mr. Shearn said that the recount OF
the ballots established the complaint
set forth, namely that there was an
excess OIL UdllOlS III .Luei OOAc5 OScA luC
record OF number OF voters in many
election districts. -"The complaint
charges fraud" said Mr.. Shearn, mot
only in miscount OF the ballots. but
in effect charges a stuffing Of the
ballot boxes. We don't mean that the
boxes We're stuffed after the electio1.
but during the election or Immediately
after Its close.
Mr.. shearn added that he was. able
to prove that from ten to fifty excess
ballots had been deposited in many
boxes late on election night, and that
at the final hearing on the recount
another charge will be made that IN
many instances ballot boxes were
stuffed. He asked the court to give
him an opportunity to prove the
charge.
Later Mr. Shearn said that he be-
lieved the complaint would still be
able toNprove frauds sufficiently large
to invalidate Mayor McClellans title
to his office.
/ Counsel for Mayor Mcclellan declar-
ed that the charge OF ballot-box stuff
ing was baseless. The hearing will be,
continued Monday.

was like entering a gorgeous rose arbor
in a tropical land. the entire wall being
covered with southern smilax and green
foliage dotted with pink roses. while twelve
immense rose bulbs suspended from the
ceiling with ropes OF smilax cast a sub

same decoration was also used In the sup

small tables, each having a centerpiece Of
natural pink roses. The stairways leading
