New York, June 24. The last dis
patch to reach the world yesterday af
ternoon, while the clerks were making
the footings of the vote for vice-president
read as follows : . "The routine is
completed. Terrible storm here. Dark
as night, 3 :46 p. m. Thunder and light
ning. Rain coming down in . streams.
Dam Chicago." . It is possible that ma
terials such as might turn the stream
were not convenient, but brimstone
must have been abundant. ' Not a del
egate nor a visitor to the Cleveland con
vention this year, will ever' vote again
for a convention in Chicago. It is not
true tnat "unicago is in everv sense a
convention city," but quite the reverse;
and if better arrangements are net pro
vided for the accommodation of people
at the Columbus worlds fair, Uncle
Sam will regret that he ever invested a
dollar in the scheme, and those who at.
tend will join in the refrain with those
whose experiences of the past week im
pel thoughts of a blasphemous nature
even though they rode in the. band
wagon at the head of the most joyous
processions of successful people.
Anothsr Ulster Meeting.
London, June 24. A crowded union
ist meeting t as held to support an ap
peal of the protestants of Ulster to Eng
land on Thursday. Many titled and
prominent persons were present. Sir
George Chubb presided. The duke of
Argyle delivered a speech in which he
declared it was a slanderous falsehood to
say the people of Ulster were aiming at
religious ascendency of the "village ruf-
nan ana the parish, pope." The reso
lution commending the appeal of Ulster
to the British electors was unanimously
carried.
Soldiers Mot Safe in Wyoming.
Cheyenne, June 24. The Tsheriff of
Sheridan county has made a' demand on
the military authorities to surrender
the soldiers of the Ninth cavalry who
attacked the town of Suggs last Friday,
and killed a citizen. . Gen. Brooke of the
department of the Platte, has refused to
turn over the prisoners to the sheriff un
til he can hear - from Washington. . He
says the state of feeling in Wyoming is
such that he does not consider the lives
of the soldiers safe in ' the hands of the
civil authorities. , . . .

The Democratic Platform.
The democratic platform begins with
reaffirming the allegiance of 'the party
to the principles of Jefferson and sol
emnly declares "that the need of return
to tnese principles : was . never . more
argent than now, when the tendency to
centralize all power at the Federal
capital has become a menace to the re
served rights of states." It warns the
people that "the policy of the Federal
control of elections, to which the repub
lican party has committed itself, is
fraught with the gravest dangers, scarce
ly less momentous than would result
from a revolution, practically establish
ingN monarchy on the ruins of "the
republic'.' . 'V '' ..
- It denounces the republican protec
tive policy ae a fraud Upon the labor of
a great majority of the American peo
ple for the benefit of a few. It declares
it to be the fundamental principle of the
democraticparty that the federal gov
ernment has no 'constitutional . power to
impose and collect tariff duties, except
for the purpose of revenue" only, and
demands that the collection of . such
taxes shall be limited to the' necessities
of the government honestly and econom
ically administered. . .. ' .
. Itdenounces the "eham reciprocity" of
therepublican party ; recognizes in trusts
and combinations the natural conse
quence of prohibitive taxes which prevent
free competition and demands a rigid
enforcement of the laws made to prevent
and control, them. . it denounces the. re
publican patty for giving -away the peo
ple's heritage to railroads and non-residents
aliens and claims credit to the
democratic party for having restored to
the people 100,000,000 acres to be sa
credly held as homesteads for our citi
zens. ' It denounces the Sherman act of
1890 as "a cowardly makeshift ; holds to
both gold and silver as the standard
money of the country and to the coinage
of both, but holds that the dollar ubit of
the coinage of both must be of equal in
trinsic and exchangeable value or ad
justed through international, agreement
or by such, safeguards of legislation as
shall secure the parity of the two metals.
It recommends that the prohibitory 10
per cent, tax on state banks be repealed.
It reaffirms the declaration of the dem
ocratic national convention of 1876 for
the reform of the civil service and calls
for an honest enforcement of all laws
regulating the same. -
It claims that the democratic party is
the only party that has ever given the
country a foreign policy consistent and
vigorous. . ,
It favors the maintainence of a navy
strong enough for all purposes of na
tional defence and to properly maintain
the honor and dignity of the country
abroad: . It condemns the oppression
practiced by the Russian government
upon Jewish subjects, and tenders pro
found and earnest sympathy to those
lovers of freedom who are struggling for
home rule in Ireland. . -
It approves all legitimate efforts to
prevent the United States from being
the dumping ground for the known
criminals and - professional paupers of
Europe, and demands a rigid enforce
ment of the laws against Chinese im
migration and the importation of foreign
workmen under contract, and condemns
and denounces all attempts to restrict
the industrious and worthy of foreign
lands. ,
It favors just and liberal pensions for
all disabled union soldiers, their widows
and all dependents.
It favors the improvement of the
Mississippi river and other great water
ways of the. republic and holds that such
aid should be extended on a definite
plan for continuous work-until the per
manent worn is secured. It recognizes
that the early construction of the Nica
ragua canal and its protection 'from 'for
eign control is of great importance to
the United States. It holds that con-
greSB should make the necessary ' finan
cial provision for the worlds fair. It
recommends to the several states the
most liberal ' appropriations for public
schools and opposes state interference
with parental rights and the rights of
conscience in the education of children
It approves the admission into the Un
ion of New Mexico and Arizona and the
earlv admission of all territories having
the necessary population and resources
and holds that while they remain terri
tories the officials appointed to admin
ister the government should be bona
fide residents of the territorv or ' district
in which tbeir duties are to "be performed.
It favors legislation to protect the
lives and limbs of railwayleinployees and
those of hazardous transportation com
panies.
It favors laws for abolishing the sweat
ing system and convict contract labor
and for prohibiting the employment in
factories of children nnder 15 years of
age and opposes all Bumptuarv laws as
interference with the individual rigiiti
of the citizens.
On this statement of principles it aks
for a change of administration and a
change of purity and order that there
may be a change of system and a change
of methods, thus assuring a maintain
ance unimpaired of the institutions un
der which the republic ha9 grown great
and powerful.

London, Jnno 24. William Waldorf
Astor has purchased the crown lease of
the splendid residence on Carlton house '
terrace which until a few weeks ago be
longed to the Mariettas. Mr. Astor
has secured a great bargain, for the price
which he paid for it $275,000. Muriette
purchased it seven years ago from the
late earl of Granville for the sum of
$350,000, and then spent another $150,000
in decorations. . The house occupies one
of the finest sites in London, being situ
ated at the extreme east end of Carlton
house terrace, commanding a view of
the whole St. James park. It is held on
a lease direct from the .rrown for an un- '
expired term of seventy years at a
ground rent to the crown of $2,350 per
annum. This house constituted formerly
part of the palace occupied by King
George IV., both as prince regent and as
king. Its first tenant since the conver
sion of the block into private residences
was the late duke of Hamilton, who
sold it to the duke of Newcastle, froni
which it was purchased by the late earl
of Granville. The house has a large
terraced garden, which overlooks Bird
cage walk and the horse guards' parade.
Une of, its features is a gorgeous elevator,
all in' white and gold. Among Mr.
Astor's near neighbors are the American
duchess of Marlborough, Mrs. Mac Key
and the German embassador, Count
Hatzfeldt. whose wife hails from the
weei side of the Atlantic.
IRItlGATION ZN IDAHO.
A Magnificent Water Storage 8ynten at
Mountain Home.
Last week au epoch in irrigation mat
ters in the Inland Empire was marked
at Mountain Home, Idaho, on the com
pletion of the magnificent water storage
system inaugurated ' by the Elmore
county irrigation company, under the
management of Al W. J lager, by which
more than 40,000 acres of desert land are
reclaimed for agricultural purfxraes, ad
ding a large empire to the already great
west. The event ;was celebrated in a
most impressive manner with a parade,
music, oratory and ' flowers. The little
town was wild with excitement on the-,
completion of the scheme, Over 300
buggies and wagons filled with people
went over to the reservoir and saw the
immense ? system of storage. Water
from four lar,je river' is running into
the reservoir, and held in store against
a dry spell by a gigantic dam sixtv-two
feet high and 200 feet thick at" Ujo bot
tom, with a wing 4,000, feet long. It.
stores 5,000.000,000 gallons of .water.
The system as completed so far lias 20
miles of canals. Th'o outlet from the
dam into the canal is tunneled through
450 feet of solid sock, there being no
other outlet. Tlic pressure of water at
the lower gate is 3,000 potinds to the
foot. No work of a like character - has
ever been attempted. It practically
solves the problem of irrigation for
Idaho, Mr. Hager demonstrating beyond
doubt that the proper system is that of
the storage of water. The celebration
was participated in by hundreds of out
siders and was presided over by A. B.
Clark of Chicago. W. K. Borah delivered
a masterly oration, in which he paid a
fitting compliment to the genius and
unconquerable zeal of Mr. Hager..
Speeches were also made by Silas W.
Moody and tthers. All agree that the
system is a marvel of mechanical and
engineering skill.- The exercises con
cluded with fireworks and a. grand ball
at night. ' .
