I !Mr. Hendersaol of Iowa, said that
the convention eoold do nothing an

to go on with nominating speeches
he would move io. take a recess until

broke forth afresh. Governor Foster
proceeded to ead the list of vice
presidents siselected by the
various Stale delegations. Toe report
was adopted withbut division and the
chair appointed governor Foster of
Ohio. Senator Foley of Nevada and
Mr. O. B. Sloane of Ne w York a com
mittee to escort' Mr. Estee to the
platform from his seat in the Califor

beared and was! introduced by tbe

enthusiasm. ;t
- Mr; Estee. who is a broad-shoul
dered and broad-whiskered man, with
a pleasant smila And agreeable man-1
ners, is early arrived and walks upon
the platform before all of the Cali
fornia delegates; are in- their seats. A
few people on the stage greet him,
for he is not an .obtrusive man and is
not calculate! great among the dole-
Sates. He gracefully yielded to his
eftat for temporary chairman,, and
was surprised a4 the success of his
friends, who had him chosen for a
higher place. He will hereafter be
the most coufipicuou9 figure in
the oonventibi) and in u.any
ways the most important, as ;a
few of his friends gather about him
he looks over t$em with an air of
some concern, hoping that his voice
can be heard everywhere, but-modestly
expressing! himself as to his
ability to successf ully master the sit

Mr. Kstee's friends have no aach
doubt. He has managed larger bodies
before and has fine executive ability.

This is the bie. i U ? orm and round,

of Col. Bobsrt i Iggarsoll, the man
who, in Cincinnati twelve years ago,
made one of the f tuioug nominating
speeches of the co mtry aad gave to
Blaine the !itls iu uio.it man's mouths
nowV "The Plumd Knight.":
About the hour for maotmg the
convention hall ii full of riiuurs of
the usual sort aod generally unrelia
ble. It is reported among the Blaine
men that California has agreed to
vote for Stanford on tbe preliminary
ballots in order to nava their effect
iveness for the Blaine movement at
the timo agreed upon It is reported
that some New York man have aban
doned Depew and are openly for
Blaine, but this can be traced to no
reliable source. DeToung, 'of Cali
fornia, says the Stanford story 'is not
true, and that while the delegates
from the Pacific coast are: all for
Blaine, they don't exarly agree yet
upon wha' man shall precede him in
thej vote. It is somewhat remarkable
that up to 12 o'clock there has not
been a Cheer in ' the convention hall
and there appear to be no special
gatherings in the galleries if or any
special candidate. The delegates are
too busy talking about combinations
and the result of the meeting of the
committee on credentials to hurrah.
The committee on credentials met
this morning, all the members being
present.: It was. announced that the
committee was considering contests
in the Fourth and Tenth Districts of
Georgia; and the Tenth District of
South Carolina. The credentials
committee has Bent a sub-committee
of three to the convention to nOiify it
that the full committee will report
on the contested cases at 8 p. m. The
committee expects to be in secret sea
sion -tills that nour. it . is now on
Virginia.; "
It is reported that the committee
has decided in favor of Mahone, and
the Sherman men are consequently
elated. Much speculation is Indulged
in as to whether the fight over the
Virginia contest will be carried to
the floor oi the convention, and tbe
matter ie exciting more feeling just
now than anything else. Senator
Quay of Pennsylvania, who reached
the convention hall after 12 o'clock
looks happy, presumably over the
Mahone victory. Quay is leading tbe
Sherman forces and is credited with
being the Sherman candidate for
chairman; of the national committee
if Sherman is nominated. Noon has
long since passed and there is no sign
of a coming to order of the conven,
tion. The clerks are busy about the
chairman's desk, and the delegates
talk and are as comfortable with the
neat as possible, all of wmcn is a
great contrast from the! condition of
i affairs at this time yesterday.!
The Tribune this morning publish
es a highly sensational account of the
proceedings before the committee on
credentials, late last night I in the
Wise-Mahone contest. After de
scribing the scene of disorder of
wnich its reporter caught a glimpse
when the door of the committee room
was suddenly opened to admit.Ja po-
1 iceman toe j.npune Bays l learueu
that the Virginia row started botween
Wife and Mahone. Whilea Mahone del
egate, Mr Allen,, was talking, Brady
and Wiserequently interrupted him,
Mahone and Wise, Bitting not more
than five feet apart on the same side.
Wise said something in undertone to
Mahone which no one caught but
Mahone at once jumped' up and
reached for Wise. The -latter let out
for Mahone but a - member
sitting? between them Drevented any
damage. Both were talking excitedly
but attention was in a moment
diverted from them by Congressman
Libby, one of the anti Mahone men,
who struck at Allen. Accounts differ,
but most members seemed to think
Allen was hit. He was still on ' his
eet and Libby was cursing hint
Allen struck back and confusion pre
vailed. Several of tbe Mahone peo
ple, went for Libby and bore: him to
the floor. All the colored men in the
room took part and the mass Of arms
and;iegs in motion was such that tbe
peace-making members hardly dared
approach, j . . b -
J&x-Uoncrressman isrody, wno is
himself tuemacious. was i one of
the Wise followers, for whom Mahone
seemed to feel the greatest animosity
'Dop t let Brody get away, yelled
a voice tnat sounded nee Juabone s,
and a rash was at once made for him
A pair of Western men at once closed
in and saved Brody from much barm
The peace-makers finally succeeded in
pulling most of the fighters apart,
but it was : not . until a policeman at
the door who rushed in had cracked
several colored heads with his club.
One jman, said to be named Mott, was
especially ugly and could not 'be qui
eted till Sergeant-at-Arms Smith
seized him by the throat, exclaiming,
'Stop! Stbp!" and threw him half
across the room. .
When a semblance of order was
restored two or three members were
standing oo a t.ible.' The policeman
and sergeant a , arms had Bquads of
belligerants under their care while
Chairman Ht-pburn was keeping a
closo eye oh M.iliono and Via$.
N iso ' expressed his regret, aw Ihe
occurrencoj explaining how usrWfiions
hid bet-n eft it on him thut weie un-
fclie

L by a!su! spoke half apologetically,
paving iu : the heat of the moment
lie 'thought Allen wal strik ng
Wif, but he did not think be
him
self had really bit Allen. The
com
mittee felt that something'; xf
.this
kind was necessary.
Several members had proposed
expel Libby, and if he had not made
this explanation he would undoubt
edly have been expelled, The dsaire
to avoid publicity, however, vas
strong. It was agreed that the row
should be kept secret. j
MB. ZSTtl S BPEXCH.
Mr. Etee in accepting tbe perma
nent chairmanship said: j ,
'Uentlemen of tbe convenuoi : j-
ender the thanks of the States, and
of the Territories! of the Pacific ioast
w well as of my ; own heart forNtie

heard only two weeks ago fron Ore
gon. Friends and gentlemen it tie

the high honor jou have confeal
upon me, J. will now call for tne nett
order of business." fApplause.
The chair then recognized Mayr
Eoche, of Chicago, who : advanced p
the platform, holding in his hands
beautiful silver gavel, which he sal
be had been instructed to present 9
the convention on behalf Of the ci
zens of Chicago. It was not of tilvr
alone, as that one presented at S.
Louis, but of gold and silver, a V-
metaliic standard of our: sound fina
cial policy. It represents crude ai
skilled labor and teaches a lesst
that free homes! free schools andk
free ballot shall be maintained in th
country.
Charles A. Works, of Hlinois, al
presented to the convention a gave
which he said was a plait token, ai
made neither of silver or gold, butt
it is connected with a great name' a
American history: It is made froznu
pieee of wood from a deslt from Ue,
tannery in Galena, 111.:: which w
left by that silent soldier, U. S. Qrait,
when he took the field to fight for Is
country. The mention! of enal
Grants name was greeted within
outburst of cheering which laadj
several moments and was the waj&J
est demonstration of the day.
The chair accepted the token is a
neat speech in which he expresed
the thanks of the convention to he
doners, i i

as a guide for the parliamentaryro-
ceedmgs of the convention theules
of the House of Representative is
recommended as; far as applible.
The most essential change is at it
is recommended 1 that an exative
committee, consisting of nineiem-
bers, may be chosen by the noDal
oommittee to conduct the afrs of
the party.
Mr. Butterwortb, of Ohio, oved
to amend the report of the eonittee
by placing a limitation' of te on
the nominating speeches; JtLeoved
that the presentation Speeck be
limited to fifteen minutes,- an that
the seconding speeches be limd to
ten minutes. :
The . motion was defeated y a
heavy vote. Several propositus to
amedd the report of the comttee
on rules were made, particuly in
reference to alternates. The cus-
sion dragged along for some ticand
tbe members of the conventiorers
getting more and mote confus as
to what the language of :: the "Ann
ate" rule really meant, whenVdi.
Sewell, of New Jersey, cut the r
dian knot with a botion to adophe

The chairman called for the nrt

Mahone the first, fourth and lib
and the delegates at large, and rung

Subsequently, on a motion to pn-
Bider, the committee ruled othe
ninth Virginia district, and theok
a recess until 4 p.: m.
After a brief recess the comtee
re-assembled and at once took the
case of tbe District of Coloia.
Whila this contest hinges n

the Seating of these delegaUvill

and will probably be the first I of
Btrength between the Blairand
at
Sherman forces. ; It is probabhat
whatever the committee's deen a
minority report will be ipresed ia
this case without reaching a B at
6 o'clock. Iu order to be able toort

FOWLS ADDRESSES THE ASSEMBLY.
' Mobbbeao Oin, Jane 19.
Cor. of tbe Mewi aad Obeerver.
The attendance was largely in
creased last night by a crowd of some
two hundred teachers and Mends
who arrived on the train. This makes
the number present now about seven
hundred, and in the immense hotel
there ia yet room for more. Not a
single dissatisfied word has yet been
heard from any guest of Messrs. Beer
man Si Cooke, but, on the contrary,
each person ia becoming even more
pleased with the very kind attentions
and the many courtesies shown them.
Among the many prominent visi
tors now present at the Assembly are
Hon. W. N. H. Smith, Chief Justice
of North Carolina, and Hon. D. G.
Fowle the Democratic nominee for
Governor. N
SIXTB DAY.
The Assembly waa called to order
at 10-30 o'clock and the religious ser
vices were conducted by Rev. N. B.
Cobbe, ofiLilesville, N. C.
The president then appointed the
following special committees :
Constitution--G. D. Mclver, W. A.
Blair and E G. Harrell. . -
Auditing Committee P. P. Clax
ton, John Puckett, C. B. Denson.
The president then, in eloquent
terms, introduced to the Assembly
Hon. Daniel G. Fowle, to whom a
great party had entrusted the leader
ship of the State, and of course be
was a warm friend of every educa
tional interest iu our State.
Judge Fowle being received with
great applause- return d hi thanks
for such: a kind reception and then
expressed the very highest admira
tion of the teacher and his noble call
ing. He feels that the name teacher
ia the very proudest that he can give
to any man or woman.
The subject for the morning being
then announced as "Higher Educa
tion of Women," Rev. Dr. Thos.
Hume, D. D., took the etant! to begin
the discussion.
Those who know Dr. Hame were
not surprised at the scholarly address
delivered before "the Assembly on
Tuesday morning last. He spoke for
an hour, presenting the subject in
almost every 1 light, bringing out
strong logical arguments.
He spoke ' most earnes ly of
the crowning virtues of woman, and
paid a just tribute to Iter worth and
merit as a teacher of youth, and con
cluded his remarks in a most happy
manner, i t
His discourse, he said, was intend
ed to ' stimulate discussion and pro
voke criticism, thus gaining his point
obtaining the views of the assem
bled teachers "How to Edpcate the
Future Woman jef North Carolina."
The gubect was continued by Rev.
A. D. Mayo, of Boston, who said .that
it was evident that the largest part of
teaching the children of the South
was to be done by young women for
many years to come, ,
Prof, a P. Mclver,' of Peace Insti
tute, Raleigh, said that it was very
difficult to establish a normal depart
ment at present in our Southern fe
male colleges by reason of the fact
that we have no endowments. How
ever, Peace Institute was now trying
the experiment in a small way and, it
wrs moderately successful. Girls
will not average over t wo years at
a college, and therefore it was diffi
cult to give her the desired higher
training because she prefers to devote
the tune mainly to the study of art,
music and such kindred subjects
which are not of much practical use
to them. An : educated woman ia
always a good teacher, and North
Carolina ought to make an appropri-
tion ior tne nigner education oi her
women. He offered some very prac
tical suggestions as to the teaching
literature to both boys and girls.
'-'Give them a good book to read and
have them write a review of it and
they will learn far more of this class
of instruction than by simple compo
sition work.
Hon. S. M. Finger.our State Super
intendent of Public Instruction, said
that everybody is fully aware that

her duty to her daughters, but the
cause has been a want of money for
the nurnose. Kverr teacher and
friend of education should be an edu
cational missionary as he goes over
the State , to create a stronger
sentiment 01 higher training ot wo
men, because many people think that
women do not need it. All the
schools and colleges should raise
their course of . study and the public
school ought to start that movement
V e nave a normal college for women
but the best method of -starting such
an institution is not yet settled. Jx
animations bf teachers should be uni
form and better, and that we hope to
provide by the Normal College.
Prof. G. T. Winston, of the Uni
versity, thought that it waa agreed
by everybody that whatever may be

Frank Beard in his artistic diversions:
His "talk tonight was somewhat dif
ferent from the one last evening, be
ing specially illustrative of the art of
telling a story solely by pictures.
Every variety of subject was handled
by the artist, and the closest atten
tion of the audience was constantly
held, and sometimes they almost
breathlessly followed the rapidly
moving chalk, every stroke of which
gave a new expression to the picture
and told a new story.
As a concluding piece the artist in
vited Prof. Winston on the platform,
and evi n while the Professor was con
vulsed wi h laughter at the novelty
of the situation the skillful artist put
Lis poi trait on the board with the
"big laugh" over his face. The entire
entertainment gave the greatest
pleasure to every spectator. I

Dear Sir: Yours bf the 14th is
received. At the meeting of the Ex
ecutive Committee, held last evening,
it was resolved that all clubs sup
porting the Democratic platform be
admitted to the League, as we con
sider , the platform a substan
tial endorsement of our own
platform and principles. All
applications for admission to
the .League should be made here,
and the credentials ' of delegates
should be sent as soon as they are
elected to Robert Crain, Secretary of
the committee on arrangements, 8 W.
Fayette street, Baltimore, Md. We
hope that your club has taken an
active part in organizing the State
of North Carolina. The convention
promises to be ex'remely large, and
clubs intending to be represented
should communicate at once with the
Baltimore committee and obtain ac
commodations. The hotel rates in
Baltimore will be the same as usual,
and it is- expected that the railroad
will give return tickets for a single
fare. The convention will be called
to order at noon on July 4th.

The sad 'thing about Sherman's
prospects is the unreliabLity of the
hSouthern delegates. They do not
hold themselves very high, with few
exceptions. A Virginia negro, of
full blood, one of the Wise delegates,
said in w asmngton on the way : "Oh,
de WUe delegates will be seated.
Dey'll hab no trouble 'bout dat. Dey
represents de white gemmen o' Vah
ginny, but de Mahone party dej's
all niggers." John W. Jones of
Alabama, colored, said : "We cannot
give an electoral vote to the nominee
and we do not think that we should
dictate. We came prepared to give
our votes to the best man, whoever
the North wants. Most of us have
perferences, but we are willing to
yield them. I should say 12 or 15 of
our delegates are for Sherman. Alger
has three or four of the others. An
other delegate, D. N. Cooper, said,
"One or two of us, I think, are favor
able to Gresham." The story that
Senator Riddleberger intercepted a
delegation from the South, treated
them royally and sent them on to
Chicago changed from Sherman to
Alger men, is probably a fiction, but
it serves to show what is thought of
the average Southern delezate.

The Virginia squabble between Ma

by the crowd in the convention, who
had no thought of the division in
their party ranks in Virginia which
this bringing of local life strife into
national pontics would engender. The
people looked upon Wise and Ma
hone as curiosities, and were de
lighted when they called each other
hard names. An Illinois delegate

Washinoton, June 20. Sesate
The motion heretofore made by Mr.
Vance to reconsider tbe vote passing
the joint resolution to amend the act
of the 15th of June, 1882, changing
the boundaries of the fourth d strict
of Virginia was withdrawn.
The Senate bill appropriating $50,
000 for a public building at Staun
ton, Va-, was on motion of llr Daniel
taken np and passed.
. Mr. Frye presented a petition of
the "Constitutional Defence Associa
tion of America1' against the ratifica
tion of the fisheries treaty.
The Senate then took up the pri
vate pension bills on the calendar and
passed all of them, ninety-two Mn
number, including one giving $12 per
month to each of the two daughters
of Maj. Abner Yergan, of the revolu
tionary armv,
The Senate then,at 2 30, adjourn
H0TJSI.
Three quarters of an
hour "rfas
spent in an effort to displace certain
private pension bills which had. been
made the special order for today, and
their consideration was finally post
poned for two weeks.
The House then went into commit
tee of the whole on the sundry civil
appropriation bill.
, The item relating to special agents
was made the occasion for political
debate, Mr. M. C. Shane, of Nebraska,
making a bitter attack on ex-Commissioner
Sparks, of the General Land
Office, and upon the present adminis
tration of the Land Offioe. Messrs.
Hoi man, Randall, Weaver and Town
shend defended both Spares and the
administration.
After a long contest Mr. Hermann,
of Oregon, succeeded in bocuring a
modification: of the olauso relating to
the surveys of pnblio lands so as to
remove the restrictions in the price in
case of mountainous and wooded
lands. While discussing the clause
Mr. Randall remarked that the pres
ent administration had seen fit to
drop many of the reforms inaugurated
by Commissioner Sparks. Said he
"The reforms of Gen. Sparks seem to
have.taken wings, I don t know why.".
Without' oompleting the considera
tion of the bill the House took a re
cess until 8 o'clock, the evening ses
sion to be for the consideration of
bridge bills.

The modee of death's approach are va
rious, and statistics show conclusively
that more persons die from diseases of
the Throat and Lungs than any other. It
ia probable that every one, without ex
ception, receives vast numbers ot Tuber-.
cle Oerms into the system and where
these germs fall upon suitable soil they
start into life' and develop, at tirst slowly
and ia shown by a alight tickling sensa
tion In the throat aad if allowed to con
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing consumption and to the
head, causing catarrh. Now all this is
dangerous and if" allowed to proceed will
in time cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing a
cold to go without attention is dangerous
and may lose you your life. As soon as
you feel that seniething is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain a
bottle of Boscbee s German Syrup. It
will give you immediate relief.
