held :i three - meeting : in
tenso interest nml every ??val city
worked it- hardest for the prize.
Tho only othoi business < fimpi -

was Hie election of Mr. Wm. Stein

New York city, to ii!! thc vacancy
on the committee caused by tin
death of Hubert (i. Thompson, This

ing possession of tho ?ovei'itineiit,
it was the pr ?p tr t i, ? i.for the di Mi
nerals to take the Initiatory sb | -
in opening ti.e Presidential cam
paign. Senator Oormnn, of Mary
land, opposed an early convention,
maintain!'.,- that there was no rea
son why tho Democrats should
change their policy ol following
tho republicans: that with a late
convention they could t >!*<? advan

neut-, whereas, l y proced?) % thc

day a reconsider! lion of this v< t<

It i. now -aid that little Pilli She
ridan's declination of tho nomina
tion for President wa- n c . of
"sour grapes." ll" is not eligible.
"Even granting Hint lie was born
a i his mother say -. several ne nilli
ofter the nrrival Of 'his parents in

citizen of this city, that would

to Sheridan's case.

many startling tilings. Tho propo

democrats, after an umond'mcni
was added providing that tho in
vestigatiou should include the foin
years term of Mr, Benedict's! rc
publican predecessor. Tin commit

enough has been done to make tin
