none there. In the evening, when the
k Associated Press bulletin dispute!*,
announcing simplv: "lildon nominated
on eecond ballot," was received,
it was *ent up to the Executive mans
idon. There were present with the
Governor, Comptroller Robinson,
H'n'o Engineer Van Union, and four
or flvo other friends. Mr. Newell
took tho dispatch and rend it aloud
to tho Governor. "Id that b> ?" he
inquiied in tho calmest tones, with

N Subsequently the following diapatch
wao reeoivod:

Lieut. Govornor of Kentucky.
This wan also read to the Govornor,
who then exhibited sings ot interest,
and inquired if any ono know what
v the vote was and what tho platform
contained, but no ono present did.
The Govornor then drew four or
five of thoso present about him, and,
ip a tone scarcely abovo a whisper,
nflid* UT Win toll vein voliat lioo linnn
dbno. Tliia nomination was not made
by tlio leaders of the party. It was
tlio people who made it. They want
reform. Tlioy lmvo wanted it a long
while, and, in looking abont, they
4 liavo bocomo convinced that it ie to
bo found hero (pointing at himself.)
Tboy want if; tljat is what tlioy are
after. They nro sick of tho corruptions
and maladministration of tlieir
affaire. Ttiey want a change, and
ono for tho hotter?a thorough reformation.
You will find thoro will ho
a larger Gorman vote pulled next fall

that.

country," said Payne, of Ohio, to day, I
and that is tho common verdict, to f
which many add significantly that
this very ability ta ovgani/.e and to
avoid miatakos will bo groat power in
tho campaign. Conversation with Des
mocratic members from all over tho
country discloses everywhere eoufi- r
deuce of victory in November.
"Is tlio ticket acceptable to tbo

orn Democrats lrom every State, and
tho answer invariably caioo back,?
"Why, of courso it is; just what wo
wanted, and tho voiy best that could

Singleton is exceedingly pleased with
tho nomination and says thoro Is not
tho elighcst doubt of tho Democrats
carrying Mississippi. In Alabama it
is tho sumo. Senator Gordon and
Representative Blount laugh at tho
idea of tho Republicans carrying that
Stato. Tho Republicans have intimated
that thoy would cany Florida,
and for their comfort Senator Jones
remarks that ho wishes he was as
certain of some other desirable things
in tho future as he is tWht Florida will
go Democratic in November. Yeatts
and tlx' North Carolinians aro as well
satisfied as the rest, and while they
say the light will be close there, feel
confident of victory. The Virginians!'
say tho Democrats may count on old I '
Virginia. Judgo Faulknor says that *
there will be no trouble in West V?.

almost to a man that tho ticket

though it does not liko tho candidate,

Hamilton, of'Indiana assorts that 1
his State will snroly clcct Williams 1

would say that they would poll tho (
heaviest Democratic vole ever cast ,
in JLIInois, and .somo even of tho Ohio
men aro declaring that they will at (
least keep (iov. Hayes to a very small
majority in his own Slate. Willard,
Republican, of Michigan said to day
that the nomination of Tilden and
Hendricks has made Michigan a
doubtful State, while his l'emocralic 1
colleague, Williams, gave it as his
opinion that the 1 >omocrut8 would car
ry Michigan. xno eastern Democrats i
aro fairly jubilant. '^Now .forsey is
oortain to givo Tildon 12,000 to 1

for Governor Parker's nomination.?
Tho Now Yorkers from forty thousand

sorrowfully that the Democrats
have not blundered this time, say thoy
havo nominated tlioir bos-man, and

Scotland may well bo proud ot Lh?Jistinguished

from the pencil of one whoso name is

Aoro many pictures inoro pretentions,

from 0110 ol England's greatost

the reach of the plaudits of tlie
.vhole world, I would remember the
?roat artist only as he 6tood in tho
nide of his manhood and the zenith
)t his lame. It filled me with grief
inuttoiablo to think that tho cun-?
)ing linger that guided his magic
)oncil should clutch at last tho in a?
liae's straw, and perish bohind tho
jars of a mad man's coll.
Albeit l'eerstadt is represented by
wo of the grandest tviurapLs ot his
ife?a view of the big trees of Mar~
posa, and his lnagnificont picturo of
iTo6oinite Valley. It is a grand conieption,
grandly worked out in the
lonest spirit ot a genuine artist; but
n another room liangs a Yosemito
Valley, by Tbos. Hill, of San Frisco,
>vlncli, to my thinking ia one ot tho
loblost picturoa in tho Exhibition. 1
iave been there; I have heard tho
nighty roar of its tremendous wateralls,
and sat boueath tho shadow ol
huso eloiuKi caching, granite hills

f tlie pines that sounded like an an?

;iala that ?ro to make ud that wild

Next 111 merit comes his Donner
Lake, looking so calm and beautiful,
nestled away among tho mountains
and yet indis8olubly connected
with ono of tho saddest acts iu the
whole of onr American history, llore
perished forty emigrants in 1S4G, and
tor week? the fow that survived lived
on the bodies of the doad. Take
hear*, young artist, wherever you are
ns you look on the^e grand pictures,
worth thousands and thousands of
dollars, and romemberj no matter
bow poor you are, that ten years ago
this very July day, Thomas Hill was
pint as poor as you are. As an artist
iio was entirely unknown to fame,
find lie labored in his little studio on
Montgomery street, San Francisco,
tor hardly enough to keep body and
soul togethor. These were indeed
days of sutlering and probation. If
bib beart sometimee Hugged, bit artist
aoul was full of strongest pnrpoae,
and after years of toil to day, amidst
the collected genius of tho world, bis
works are almost without a rival.?
Here, too, aro some of tho ino6t glorious

immediately pointed to tho structure
which stands on tho right of tho gato
