The Jit raid says: A con fere !..., vuia held in ex-Secretary Whitney's room in the Hicheleu list night. The plan of campaign against the Hill-Tammany forces was decided upon. Among those present, besides Mr. Whitney, were Dickinson, of Michigan; llarrity, of Pennsylvania; Winston, of Minnesota; Stetson, of New York; Ste venson, of Illinois; (.race and Fairchild, of New York, and Kwing, of Chicago. Three important questions were nettled. One was that the Cleveland delegates would sit in the convention until No vember, if necessary, before they would submit to the naming of any other can didate. It is argued that Mr. Cleveland has a majority of the delegates nnd that his nomination is thus demanded by the people. The second question decided ,vas that the tarilT should be the sole issue. Third, a plank will be inserted in the platform which will allay all fears that an unlimited coinage of silver will be the policy of the administration of Mr. Cleveland. Ciiuaoo, 111., June IS. Active cam paign work w us inaugurated by the Cleveland element to-day. So far the interests of the ex President have been in the hands of ex-Secretary Fairchild and (iiii. Tracy, but these have done comparatively little so far us aggressive organizations are concerned. This morn ing, however, ex-Postmaster Don M. Hu kinson, ex -Secretary W. C. Whitney and William F. Parity, leader of the Cleveland forces in the Keystone State, took exclusive charge of the political fortunes of the ex President, and the word of the triumviate will be law to the subordinate workers as well as to the rank and tile. It was not until after 2 o'clock that the conference of the gentlemen named, and in which P. I). Winston, of Minneap dis; ex Mayor Grace, of New York; F. L. Stetson, of New York, Cleveland's law partner; Hope Smith, of Atlanta, and ex-assistant postmaster gen eral Stevenson were participants, came to an end. Whitney and Dickinson did not arrive in town until nearly ten o'clock but telegrams had .been sent in ad vance, and on their arrival, the little com pany of leaders were already assembled in Dickinson's parlors at the Hicheleu. The Mt nation was discussed in all its details, each man freely expressing his opinion. A list of the delegates purporting to give the political proclivities of each man who will have a vote at the convention was made, with the result that the opin ion was unanimously expressed that the success of Cleveland on the first ballot was next door to a certainty. In the II .1.! 1 general discussion that followed every oue of the conferees were emphatic in the opinion that the policy of the Cleve landites should be to stand by the ex President to the end, even if the convention sat uutil winter There would be no difficulty, they as scrted in holding his forces together and with a large niajoritv of the convention preserving a bold front, final success, it was held, would be inevitable. The statement issued by the Tammany dele gation was discussed, but the sentiment oi the conference was against issueing any formal reply, at least until the be ginning of next week when all the dele uaics aie on tue ground, lhere was also a unanimity of opinion that in the event of Cleveland's nomination the tariff iouM be the sole issue of the campaign on the ground that this would be the strongest battle cry in New York State, Hint would be certain to insure the ex President's suc cess. Regarding the an tioiinceinent of senator Carlisle that he was opposed to Cleveland because he could not carry his own Mate, and that a mau should be nominated who is entirely free from the antagonisms and factional rights which have given the New York democracy an unenviable reputation. Mr. Whitney said emphat'cally that he did not think it would change any votes, and certainly would not aiiect the mends of the ex President iu the slightest degree. Scouts w ill be sent out to meet the non commit till delegates from various States and as fastasthev arrive they will be pilote to the Grand Pacific, where they will be taken in hand uy the Cleveland contin gents. A good deal of interest is mani fested regarding the probable course of the delegation from Illinois. The Cleve land mauagers claim that they will have it solid on the first ballot, but the claim is strongly disputed at the Illinois rende Voiu. No regular caucus has been vet held, but the informal poll of the d legation has developed the fact that "nly fourteen are outspoken for Cleve land, while twelve arc favorable to the candidacy of V 11. Morrison and twenty two aic either for Palmer or on the b in e. General Palmer, however, is un utterably opposed to the use of his "ann as long as Mr. Cleveland is a can didate, and it is given out that an inti mation to that effect, couched iu lan guage which cannot be misunderstood, will he presented when the caucus meets. I he Morrison boom is generally regarded Hs a weakling that will scarcely survive the opening of the convention. In some respects the situation that con fronts the Democratic National conven tion is similar to that which was mani fest in Minneapolis two weeks aero. i hen it was Harrison against the field; here its Cleveland against the held. The hi'.terness of opposition to President Jiarnson s renomination, which was its "sunguishing characteristic Ju re and is not likely to appear unless it .......... mean out among the Hill delcsra Most of th( ' x u huv liviv uvf j the delegates. The uncertaintv that ex isted as to the reception that would be accorded the Syracuse (anti-snapper) delegates by the convention has disap peared before the emphatic statement of Senator Carlisle, of Kentucky, that they cannot be admitted to the con vention. The Senator expresses the opinion also that a considerable anti Cleveland sentiment has shown itself within the last few days and that it is growing, but that it means the nomina tion of Hill he is not so sure. Tammany and the Hill delegates assert not only that the Syracuse delegates will not be admitted to the convention, but that they will not even ask to be. "They haven't even a leg to stand one," said one of them last night. "They are not democrats, and as A 1 A , - tue convention is to be com posed of representatives of that party alone there will be no place for them. " If Tammany has deci ded to dump Hill and is looking for a Wrstcrn man to head the ticket, as re ported in one of the morning papers, the evidences of that fact were skilfully con cealed up to midnight. Close on to that hour general Dan E. Sickles, one of the delegates at large, with his crutch speaking eloquently of his gallant ser vices to the Union, sat in the ladies' par lor at the auditorium surrounded by a crowd of interested auditors to whom with all the force aud earnestness at his command he set forth the record of Senator Hill ind his claims for the nomination at the lands of the convention. He laid soe- cial stress upon the difference between the attitude of the Senator and that of Mr. Cleveland in the campaign of 1890. fceuator Hill," he said, "was in Ohio aud defeated McKiulev. He was in West Yirginia and New York and else where on the stump and rendered ex ceeding great service. He was not slow- to denounce the force bill that meas ure which, if enacted into law. would place the democratic party wholly at the mercy of John I. Davenpoit and his fol- owers. It is Davenport's bid us Hill compelled him to confess. But who leard from Grover Cleveland, or any of he men who are here now demanding lis nomination, in that campaign. Cleve and has never said a word in denuncia tion of that bill, and so far as we know may be in favor of it. Where would the democratic party be should it pass it? Senator Hill s record as governor is with out a flaw; no scandal attaches to it; he is a clean public official; and in his private life is without reproach; and above all he crave to Inow York a com plete democratic administration placing that party in every branch of the govern ment. 1 hat is why we are for him for President.

V,;1-1 8 position differs from , 7 . ' IlHr?n m that his State does -- support him; notwithstanding which he is far and u, .r combkiation is sug gested this morning Morrison and Fiower. The suggestion has some force, in view of the report that Tammany is looking for a western man to head the ticket with Governor Flower for second place. The New Jersey people on the ground profess to have no knowledge of the fact that the name of Senator McPherson, of that State, is to be pre sented to the convention. Resolutions strongly advocating the nomination of Cleveland aud indorsing his administra tion were passed by the State convention. and according to Oliver Kellv. one of the delegates, both himself and his col leagues regard these resolutions as equiv olent to instructions. The sub-committee, charged with the duty of selecting officers for the tempo rary organization of the convention, met at committee headquarters at noon. There were present, besides the officers of the national committee, Senator Han som, of North Carolina; Senator Gor man, ofjJMaryland: lieutenant-governor Shehan, of New York ; Henry Wattcrson, of Kentucky, and J. G. Prather, of Mis souri. There were but two names mentioned for the position of temporary chairman, W. C. Owens, of Kentucky, and A. E. Stevenson, of Illinois. With out the formality of a ballot, Mr. Owen's selection was made unanimous. This does not indicate, it is said, any prefer ence on the part of a majority of the sub committee of a Presidential candidate, as both Owens and Stevenson are re cognized as Cleveland men. Mr. S. P. Sherrin, secretary of the national committee, will act as secretary of the temporary ' organization. The names of those who will present to the convention the names of the respective candidates give promise of some boquets of oratory that will live in history. Mr. Cleveland will be placed in nomination by Governor liussell, of Massachusetts. Congressman Breckenridge, of Ken tucky will be one of the seconds and ex-G )V. Campbell is also expected to add the weight of his voice ou the same side. Senator Hill will be placed in nomination by governor Bourke Coch ran, while Hon. John F. Duncombe, the silver tongued orator of Iowa, will per form a similar service for GovernorBoies. According to the present plans of the Marylanders, Senator Gorman's name will not be formally presented, but will be simply voted for when the State is reached on the call of the roll. Before the sub committee adjourned it was decided to hold the selection of Mr. Owen's name iu until Monday. There were but few member of the national committee in the city and the members of the sub committee will consult with the other members as they arrive and learn their views before formally suggesting a name to the full committee at its meet ing Monday. It transpires tonight, after post ponement of the selection of a tem porary chairman, after the subcom mittee had decided to suggest the name of W. C. Owues and Mr. Watter son had communicated that fact to reporter of the United Press, it was duo to the objections made to Mr. Owens by the Cleveland men. At a meeting of the Illinois delegation to-night held at the Sherman House General A. E. Stevenson was elected temporary chairman of toe delegation. Delegate Echols read a telegram from Hon. W. K. Morrison ia w hich Mr. Mor rison stated that he desired the Illinois delegation to stand strictly to their in structions aud to vote for Cleveland on the first ballot. Tlie Reproduction of a Correspondence In December, 1891. By Telegraph to the stale Chronicle. TorEKA, Kan., June 18. The follow ing letter from Gov. D. B . Hill was re ceived by Mr. Charles K. Holliday, Jr., of this city, proprietor of the Kansas Democrat, and World's Fair commissionei for Kansas, in December last. The let ter reads as follows: State of New York, Executive Chamber, Albany, N. Y.. December 28, 1891. To Charles K. Holliday, Jr., Topeka, Kansas. Dear Sir: For reply to your letter of the 24th I enclose a reprint of my speech at Elmira of the fifth, which I intend to confirm and reiterate in a short farewell address as governor of New York next Thurs day, New Years eve. My faith is un shakable in the sound common sense of our fellow countrymen, they well know that the democratic party at the present time is the sole efficient instrument for tax reform and monetary reform. They will not recommit their interests to the republican party which has just made both reforms our supreme necessity. The democratic party might as well to commit suicide as shirk either duty, nor will it betray the people's trust by allotting the executive power to any man whose views are similar to the views of President Harrison, and who is pledged like him to block every approach to free bimetallic coinage.' It is a scandalous misuse of executive power to employ the veto in preventing remedial legislation from being carefully planned and passed when so great a majority of the people's representatives have been elected by the people expressly for that very work, to repeal the Sherman silver law and to promote the return to free bi-metallic coiuage. I am indignant at the rapacity of the gold monometalists so reckless, both of science and of public opinion. Free bi-metallic coinage is the demand of a vast majority of the American people. No wonder it gave us the party of the silver dollar and the gold dollar for eighty years. Free bi metallic coinage is the last work of monetary science. To restore it safely, wisely and finally is the mission of the democratic party. Mr. Harrison com pels us to submit to inaction during the present executive term. That I hope may be the limit of our inaction. His friends believe that he is not a hypocrite. He will not recant or suppress his conscien tious scruples to get a second term. He and Mr. Blaine will fuss up an inter national conference for delay. That is a state artifice. One consequence of our enforced inaction will be that the finan cial portents and threatened disasters fast approaching will be seen by all to be caused by past and present republican wrongs, not by future democratic reme- RALEIGH, N.

Depew in Washington. By Telegraph to the State Chronicle. Washington, June 18. Chauncey M. Depew arrived from New York last night and was found this morning at the Ar lington. "Mr. Depew," said the reporter, "the public have a suspicion that your visit here is on a matter of great impor tance to them ; that it is in answer to an invitation to accept the vacant secretary ship of the State department." "I don't want to make any statement as to that," said Mr. Depew. "I lunch with the President to day." "A morning paper, doctor, asks what you are going to do with the country now that you've gob bled it up." Pm too modest a man) to acknowledge such a possession," said Mr. Depew, beginning to unbend a lit tle, "whom will the democrats nominate at Chicago V "Now, that isn't so inter- j esting to me as our matter was. because I think we are going to win, whoever they nominate. 1 notice that some of the New York men are resorting to un usual tactics. Here is Mr. Murphy say ing that the party can't win unless his side has its way. Now, there are two difficulties about that sort of talking. If the other side wins, you have to eat humble pie; if you win for the sake of success at the polls you must make the other people believe you didn't mean what you said, and that's harder." ltoanoke's His Celebration. By Telegraph to the State Chronicle. Roanoke, Va., June 18. The second day of the decennial celebration began this morning at 9 o'clock with a chime of the city bells ; then the parade was formed with the head of the column restiug on South Jefferson street. At 11 o'clock it moved forward along the lines marked out for its progress. The mer cnants ana manufacturers had over seventy-five floats and other avocations were well represented, more than two thousand soldiers, four artillery compa nies, nine full brass bands, four drum corps, six or eight secret orders, fire de partment and many other attractive fea tures composed the grand parade, which was two miles long and required an hour and hlteen minutes to paps. The even ing programme, was equally interesting the Great Surburban Handicap Thirty Thouwnd People in Attendance. By Telegraph to the State Chronicle. Shkepshead, L. I., June 18. The great raceing event, the surburban handi cap, for one of the largest stakes of the year, was run to-day over the Sheeps head Bay track, distance one mile and a quarter. The weather conditions were not at all favorable, but notwithstanding the recent rains, the track was remark ably dry, owing probably to the intensely dry weather of the past several days, which left the ground in such condition as to rapidly absorb thyjoisture. Many of the race track frequenters predicted that the record would be tied if not broken, and in this, as it subse quently transpired, they were not far off, Montana, the winner, going the distance withi a second of the great Salvator's time when that famous horse covered the distance in 2.06 4 5, the event wa$ hotly contested by the three leaders aud they finished close to each other, Montana, the win ner, speeding under the wire onlv a head in the lead of Major Domo, the second horse, while the latter was but a short head in front of Lamplighter. The weather was anything but pleasant, the sky being overcast and threatening from early dawn. Yet this did not deter the crowd, and from early in the morning without a break until the ap pointed time for the?; first race, they poured in through the gates in one dense mass. They came from all points, and continued coming even until within a few minutes of the time for starting the great event. Inside the grounds there was one immense sea of faces, a surging mass of humanity, that filled every nook and corner. The enormous double-decked grand stand, reaching from the last furlong pole to a distance well beyond the judge's tower, was jammed. Here thousands of the fair sex, dressed in magnificent toilets and I decked in all the colors kf the rainbow, were seated, apparently no less anxious than their male escorts! to witness the great race and they lent a charm to the scene and presented a picture such as is only seen on the occason'of some similar event. A thanksgiving day foot ball game crowd could not begin to compare with it. When the time for starting the great race approached, the weather which never ceased to threaten, was even more threatening. The rain held off, however, much to the relief of the multitude. It was estimated that fully 30,000 people were present at the time of the starting of the big event at exactly 4 :20 p. m. The horses got off at the fifth attempt, with Major Domo leading. The time was 2 :05 3-5. Mutual paid 817.10 straight and $10.50 for the place. Major Domo paid $18.45. The race was worth $25,000, of which the winner got 518,000; the second horse $5,000 and the third $3,000. Early pre dictions as to the size of the crowd to be in attendance were not far out of the way.

W. Huidekoper and Reuben Foster receivers of the Richmond fc Danville railroad, together with all its controlled and leased lines. This action was induced by the follow ing considerations : Circumstances had placed the property, as is well known and as is shown by the market price of the different securities, in a very embarrassing financial condi tion, a condition which, unless properly handled and relieved, threatens the dis integration of the system. This condition in itself quite serious enough has, it is claimed, been vastly aggravated and rendered much more dangerous through the alleged unprece dented action of the federal court for the eastern district of Georgia, upon the complaint of parties claiming to be in terested in the Georgia Central railroad company, a property the control of which had been publicly bought and for over two years held without challenge ordis- TIIK KKIIIOM) AMD DAWII.I.i: EMMONS BLAINE DEAD.

The Second Son of Kx-Sccretar j Illaine Die Alter a Few llouro' HIiickm. By Telegraph to the State Chronicle. Chicago, June 16. Emmons Blaine, me secona son oi dames u. litaine, ex- secretary of State, died at 11:15 o'clock this morning at the McCormick mansion. 13-j Rush street. He had been ill but a few hours aud his death was wholly un expected. Septicemia, which developed late last nitrnx irom a bowel com plaint, was the immediate cause f death. Mrs. Emmons Blaine and her son, McCormick Blaine, two years old, and Mrs. Cyrus McCorm'.ck were the only members of the family present at the bed-side when Mr. Blaine passed away. Death came so swiftly that there was not time to summon the other mem bers of the McCormick family, Mr. and Mrs. W. G. McCormick, who were in the house at the time. Incllectual cilorts were made throughout the night to reach James G. Blaine and Mrs. Blaine by telegraph, to convey the intelligence of their son's condition. The family left Austin several days ago for Bar Harbor, Mr. Blaine's summer residence, but it was impossible last night to effect the delivery of a telegram either to Mr. Blaine or to any one who could transmit the message to him. The New Y'ork and Boston representatives of the Mc Cormick company were instructed to exert every effort to convey the informa tion to some member of Mr. Blaine's family or to Mr. Cyrus McCormick, who went to New York some days ago, but up to noon to-day the eilorts had availed nothing. Mr. VV. li. Mcuormick imme diately assumed charge of all matters in cident to the calamitous event. Repre sentatives of the local press and the press associations were admitted to the house a few moments after Mr. Blaine's death and were given this statement of the attending physicians, Drs. Billings and Alpost, which was as follows: "Mr, Emmons Blaine died at 11:15 o'clock of septicemia (blood poisoning) due to disease of the bowels."
