It 1s not the beginning of a struggle for offico or emolument, for the gratification of private or personal ambition, but 1t is full of the deepest significance to the welfare and happiness of 60,000,000 peo ple and to the preservation of fres govern- ment.

Tho century just drawing to a close was inaugurated by a do r.ocratic president and the founder of the democratic party. Thomas Jeffersou—| great applause| —,the last of the illustrious line of democratic presidents pre.cding the war, was nominated at Cincinnati—applauso] —.and I belive that ail that is necessary for tho demo- cratic party to again assume control of the government and inaugurate an urbroken lino of democratic presidents is to nominato our men at Uincinnati.

Tho claims of Dotroit were first presented by ex-Congressman Maybury. “If there is a state 1n the union where it has cost martyrdom to be ademocrat it is tho state of Michigau, It has required the cour- age of conviction for the last thivty years to stand up in that state in tho facn of defeat and voice the creed of your political party. But 1 am glad Lo say today, in the presence of a democratic governor standing hero in your midst, that the day has dawned for Michigan aud the shadow aud the gloom has passed away. | Prolonged applause. | ““Two yeurs ago wo redeemed Michigan to the democratic party, by not only electing governor, but a democratic logislature in both branches. [Applause.] Wo have adopted o system by which olectors of the state of Michigan will be elected by districts and the president on that system will ropre sent what he ought to_represent—the lower house of cougress in this couatry. [Applause. | We have aiveady counted eight. eloctoral votes from Micligan. [Applavse.| Thus, wherever you go for your candidato we will bring * you eight electoral votes, out if you come to our city ‘we will brine von every eloctoral vole for the state of Michigan. [Prolonged applause.] Come to Michigan and we will point to you a land across the river aivided from us only by the water giistoning in the suulight, wo will show you & people of our own blood, our kinsmen, with hauds full of what we want, yet in the center of that stream is a shotted gunboat saying, ‘Undor the system which prevalls in this country you shull not have commercial rolations with your neighbors.’ [Applause.] Come to see that system and you will go back saying that that system has existed long enough aud uo commercial policy will provent you dealing fairly with your ueichbors. [Appiause. Come to the state and city where Goueral Lewis Cass first establisned the rulo and the home of self-govesnment: to the state and city where the memory of his virtue linger as tho twilight lingers long aftor the suu ha set. [Great applause. Liborally Applau Congressman Chipman of Michigan, as the socond speaker for Detroit, eulogized all the other cities 1 the race and said: “But we want this couvention in the west, where, in our judgment, it will da the most good. Thero are out fve states in which the choice should ~rest for this convention. They are Minnesota — [applause] — Wisconsin — [applause] —Ilinols— (applause) —and Mich igan.

Charies L. Jewett, chairman of the Indiana state central committee, followed Senator Turpie “Indiana is one of the greatest political battle grounds. In 1872 Indiana went for Grant, {n 1576 for Tilden, in 15%0 for Garfield, in 1884 for Cleveland—[applause| —and in 188 for Harrison. It is closo and dobatable ground, gentlemen, and it will encourage und uplitt the democrats of Indiaua to bold this conveution in Ind apolis, But we propose to carry Indiana, if possible, whether you give us the convention or not.” [Ap piause. Kinsas City's Attenctlons, Th ms of Kansas City were first pre. sented by Hon, Mr. Putaam. Hesald that with the oxcaption of New York and Chicazo there was not a city in the United States that enjoved the facilities that Kansas City enjoyed to enable the represontatives of the democravy to assomble. The hotel accom modations would accommodate ail the dolegates who might bo present at the * convention, as well as the numerous visitors, There would bo erected a convention building, and if required that building would be constructed accord- ing to plans approved by the committoe. The telegraph system of Kansas City was second 1o no city, with the exception of New Yori and Chicugo. In conclusion he said that if the convention was brought to the city he represented the deiegates would be allowed to shake over something a little stronger than Oblo river water. |Applause and Inughter. | Scnator Vest's appearance on the speaker's atand was the signal for prolonged applause. Ho spoke in a conversational tone and dirocted most of his remarks toward an eulogy of the accommodation that could bo afiorded by Kansas City. Ho assumed that this convention would go to the west. [Ap- plaus oglzed Tammany. New York did not need this convention and should not haye it. New York was the battle-ground of the convention to ve called, and for that veason, if no other, New York shoula not be selected. New York was too great, financially, numerically and politically to need the aid of any convention, and, besides that, New York had, Tammany, and Tammaoy 1/as largor than any conven- tion. [Applause and laughter.| Tammany had no division about a platform or candi- date. [Laughter.| Thers was no acrimo nious dobate heurd in those traditional halis. He said that with all kindness to Tammany, for ho was an honorary member of that society —[laughter|—he - did not belong to the ranks of those geutlemen whose velvety . consclence and silkon ears ware turned by tho shouts of the Tammany braves as they scautered in flight the brokeu hopes of the republican party. |Ap- plause.] The ciaws of Tammany’s tiger, crimsoned today as they were with radi- cal blood, had no terrors for any one excevt an enemy of true democracy. [Applause.| Now York did not need the convention and should not haveit. Chicago, the imperial city of the inland sea, did not need 1t and should not have it. Nor should the conven- tion go to tnat pleasant and heautiful city of Milwaukee. The democrats wanted a city which was individually and distinct- ively and cosmopohtan” and was not shadowed by an immense city within eighty miles of it. St. Paul should not_ask for the convention. One of the charges made by the republican party was that the demo- cratic party camped ons year where the ve- publicans “had camped the year preceding, and it was time that the aémocrats should follow their own policy. Kansas City was a cosmopolitan city. It ‘was democratic, but its people knew no flag but that which decked the walls of the hall. |[Applause. ] Admitted Missourl Was Democratic, If 1t wero urged that Missouri was a dem- ocratic state ho admitted the soft impeach- meut. [Laughter.| [t was a democratic stato and, like tne old guard of Napoleon, the democracy of the state might die but 1t wou'd never surrender. Missouri was a democratic state, aud her votes would be given to tne democratic candidate whether the conven- tion went to KKansas City or not: the destiny of the democratic party would bo the destiny of the democrats of Missouri. [Applause.| « nor Peck of Wisconsin. Tho claims of Milwaukeo were first ad- vanced by Governor Peck of Wisconsin. He e, ho said, not 1o fight gentlomen, but to 20 1nto & race with thoroughbreds. He came from a state where democracy had been walked upoa for forty years that he know of. Thines were different now. [Laughter.] Tho old democrats had raised boys who hud bogun to vote whero their fathers loft off, and Wisconsin - was now democratic by 30,000. [Applause.| There was not a republican 10 the capitol of Wisconsin from dome to basement, except ono colored wan, aud he was kept for lu {Laughtor.| If'the democrats of Wisconsin had done wrong he hoped they would bo told s0. [Laughter.] Though he urged the claims of Milwaukee, Lo declared that whor- over the convention was held, and whosver was the candidate, Wisconsin would give the democratic nominée twelve electoral votes. It could get a few more. All Promised Wisconsin's Vote, Major Somors of Milwaukee, though warmly pressing the claim of Milwaukee, spoke in a vein of party patriotism, and de: clared that the twelvo votes of Wisconsin would bo found in the democratic column whether or not Milwaukoo was given the convention, and no mutter who the candiaate might be. Mr. Dounelly of Wisconsin was the next speaker, and he also advocated the selection of Milwaukee Tho claims of New York were prosented by James Breslio, Mr. Myers, comptroller of the city, and Colouel John Fellows. M. . "Parpsy of Califoraia portraved the advantage which would accrue from the se- lection of San Francisco, and was followed by Mr, V. T. Coloman of California, who spoke in the same voin, St Puul’s Arguments, Hou. T. W. Lawlor of St Paul was the first spoaker in bohulf of that city. IHe caused a telogram 1o be read, signed jointly by the mayors of St. Paul and Minneapolis, making every reauisite pledge for the accom modation of the convention and the enter- tainment of visitors. ““The twin uities of Minnesota, comprising a population of more than 300,000, said Mr. Lawler, “jow in a_petition that tho national conveution be located at St. Paul.'! “I feel,”” soid ex-Congressman Wilson, the next speaker, “that the democracy of the great northwest hus beeu over. looked by the democracy of the nation, This has been true mot particulurly of Minuesota, but of the entire northwes. I the democratic ranks are to b recruited 1t must be from the northwestern states. 1f this convention goss to Wisconsin we will not be mourners. If it goes anywhere else wo will not sulk. But let us remember the northwest. lowa, with its onco 80,000 republican majority, is now a doubiful state. |Applause.] Tho Dakotas will not much louger consent to pay tribute to the favored few. Iu 1584 Biaina carried Minuesota by 42,000 Tu 1888 Havrison cur- rled it by but 2,230 votes —and that, too, only by the most prodigious use of mondy and the assistance of the railroads.

A itenegade American Largely Responsible for the Trouble, Julio Foster is probably more respon- sible than any one Jindividual for the misunderstanding between the two coun- tries, writes the Washington co spondent of the Chi Tribune. He is a native of Pannsyl who went to Chili forty years ago, married a Chilian woman and became a citizen of that country. He hates the United States with all the rancor of a renegude. For weeks he peddled around Washington complaints and slanders against the American minister, the consul to Val- paraiso and the naval officers. He drew up an indictment of eighteen counts against the United States, which in- cluded all the grievances, real and fancied, of the Chilians for the last twenty vears. Though he had no official standing, this was not knowa for awhile, and what he said was given the weight which naturally might attach to one of the congressional envoys. Besides the prominence of his son, }\is son-in-law was one of the leaders of the congressional party und an influential member of the Chamber of Deputies. For this renson ofticials in Washington extended Minister Montt the widest charity in not holding him responsible for Foster's actions, though Foster lived at the legation, and went everywhere that Montt did until Mr. Blaine refused to receive him at the State department. It was seon, showever, with his influ- ential kin in Chili, Foster might have a standing with Montt because of the min- ister’s fear of offending his son and son- in-law. Foster, however,was in communication with Chilians on his own account, His contempt of the United States wrs groat, He saw his slanders published in mug- wump and democratic papers, and the efforts of President Harrison’s adminis- tration to uphold the national honor ridiculed. He may, therefore, have been excused for believing “that this country would never go to war to avenge the Baltimore outrage, It is pretty cer- tain that he communicated his views to his son, the judge of crimes, and this may have accountek for the judge’s in- solent tone and for the bias with which he conducted the investigation, —_— - Minneapolis Tumbled. Hon. J. J. Richardson, Iowa member of the national democratic committee, hus been telling this story down oast: The managing editor of Mr. Richard son’s paper had an experience with Manager West of the West house in Minneapolis which was very ra He wanted to obtain accommodations for a corps of reporters at the republican na- tional convention, and wrote a letter to Mr. West three days after the selection of Minneapolis as a place for holding that meeting, requesting that a room should be assigned to the Dayenport Democrat. He receivod a reply in which Mr. West said that he was al- rendy in receipt of ten times more appli- cations for rooms than he had room, and that it would be impossible to assign a place as requested. The managing oditor promptly replied to M. West’s epistle in about this strain: “My Deur Sir—i am sorry that you cannot accommodate the Davenport Democrat with a room. Tam nevertheless thankful to you for your frankness in admitting that the citics of Minneupolis and St. Paul are not ca- puble of accommodating a groat conven- tion, which you do by refusing to assign & room to the leading democratic papor of the state of lowa. The owner of this paper, Mr. J. J. Richardson, is a mem- ber of tha democratic national committes and is being deeply tmportuned to vote for St. Paul for the location of the demo- cratic national convention. You can readily understand that under the cir- cumstauces he will not be favorably im- pressed with the accommodations which the democratic national convention would have in the Twin Cities,” The Daverport Democrat could have had a wholo floor in the West House according to the reply which Mr. Wos t sent to this sarcastic létter. N A Valuable Gold ¢ Ono of the first gold coins struck by the United States mint is in the posses- sion of Officer Charles I, Strouse of the Twenuy-fourth police district of Phila- delphia. The coin is an eagio made in 1796, and’has been nn heirfoom in the family for threo generations, having been given to his grandmothor, Mrs, Elizabeth Krewson, at the Gray's Ferr arsenal, in payment for clothing made for the troops sent to the Mexican war, The old ludy wrapped the coin in handful of the thread used in sew- ing the soldic uniforms and wound the whole about with two yards of blue tape, used in binding the coats, pants and vests. The thread and tape are in a good state of preser vation. Mrs. Krowson died at the ad- ; vanced age of 85 years, and while on | deathbed gave the coin ‘to Officer Strouse’s mother, Margaret Strouse, who in turn gave it to him. The coin is valued ut the mint at from $2450 to $27, but Office; dy been offerea $40 for There are only two like it in the possession of the Phila- delphia mint, The first gold coin made in the United States was struck in 1795 - ft-Handeduess, o vears ago a young lady of Fall River, Mass., was hit upon the left side of the nead by u falling sign as she was walking slong u street in Boston, says the Post.

Two young women, each apparently about 20 years of age, stopped each other on the stroet corner and after a wordy encounter came o blows. The smaller girl of the two accusad the other of tamperiog with the affections of @ young man and from mere accusations the two passed to oatns and Dbillings gate seldom heard outsido of a bar- room. Thea the smaller girl knocked tho larger ono down and scratched and clawed in true feminine fashion. In the meantime a crowd of probably 100 men had assembled, but not onelifted a hand to put a stop to the disgracoful affair until after the second knock-aown. The spectacle of the girl prostrate iu the gutter, her face blecding profusely and ter clothing torn and muddy fiually moved a bystander to nterfere. The pugilistically inclined femalo was aftorwards arrested. At the police station she gave her name as Louise Lindsey. Sho claimed that the other girl had stepped between hor aud her affianced husband, wio 1s & cook or waiter at one of the restaurants in this city. Nebraska's Military Strength, In view of the threatening aspect of the Chilian complications and thie possibility that the state may be called upon to furaish her quota of the volunteer forces that may be sent to Chili, & few facts coucerning Ne: braska's military strength will be interest- ing. According to tho last report of the ad- jutant general the Nevraska National euard consists of two regiments of iufantry, one battery of artillery and one troop of cavalry. The enlisted men number {25 und there are an even hundrea officers. In equipmeat tho Nebraska troops will suffer by comparison with those of other statos. 'Their upiforms are condemned by the adjutant_general as being almost unfit for use. They ave, or wore on the date of the last_report, without overconts, blunkets, knapsacks, haversacks or canteens, all of which would be necessary in the event of their being called into active service. However, all of the officers, and undoubtedly most of the mon, would relish tho idea of a summer jaunt to' the other end of the hemisphero, even though the pleasure of the trip would be marred by danger of death, Lincoln's Now Postoflice, The citizens of Lincoln ave highly elatod over the fine appearance their new federal building appears on paper, and Congressman Bryan will be given every assistance anu en- couragement in his efforts to pass it through congress. His bill_provides for a million dollar building. to b6 orected on the present postoflico squars . or upon any other site the secrotary of the treasury may selegt. The bill further provides that as soon as the new building is comploted the old tederal building shall bo turned over by the secretary of tho treasury to tho city of Lincoln for such use as the municipal authoritios may direct. Iu the event of tha passage of the bill Lin coln will have a postofice and custom house fully commensuratd to ner necds.

In 1867 his indebtedness to the benign source rose to the magnificent proportions of $967,000. The account was balanced in like ingenious fashion, Thus_ in twenty, yoars the poor people of Utah paid the prophet at the rate of $60,000 per annum. This was the nest Land grants, the salavies of goy- ernor and Indian agent, railroad con- tracts, ote,, swelled the prophet’s in- come to a much lirger amount So positive were the proofs of Brig- hum’s peculations that at his death the church obliged the heirs to disgorge million of dollars.
