CONTESTING DELEGATION.
The Chicago Democratic conven
"tioa is almost sure to be a repetition
of the Charleston conrention in 1860
There probably would have been no
very serious split at Charleston, says
the Register, had there not been so
many contesting delegations. Doug
las had a large following, and be
cause Buchanan's administration was
making war upon him his friends
were all the more determined to
stand be the "Little Giant." The
consequence was that there were
enough contesting delegates to do
a great deal of mischief, which they
did. and t hus : made Mr. Lincoln's
election certain. The combined
-vote of Douglas and Breckinridge
was larger than the vote that gave
the presidency to the Republican
candidate. The administration left
no stone unturned to cripple Doug
las and strengthen Breckinridge, but
although the administration candi
date received fewer votes than did
Douglas the election or either was
made impossible. ' ,
At the Chicago convention there
will be enouffh delegates for two
conventions, and as the party is so
badly split on the leading question of
the times it does not appear how
two. conventions , can be avoided
The factions have gone to the ut
most extreme on tne money ques
tion, leaving no place at all for a
compromise, unless the silverites
surrendered practically everything
they have been contending for.
Under the circumstances the Cleve
land wing could not afford to yield
an inch, for they would be construed
as meaning an official rebuke to the
president, who is, by virtue of his
cffice, the first man of the party.
But there is still another wedge
playing havoc with the party. The
operation of the Wilson-Gorman
tariff act has demonstrated the' fal
lacy of the Democratic tariff theo
ries; besides there are now so many
Democrats interested in. industrial
enterprises and who would leave the
party if it should declare for a still
lower schedule of customs house
charges, that the factions are bound
to make . the money question the
leading issue. And, as we have
said, the factions are too widely sep
arated on that question to hope for
unity.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, the
ultra single gold standard faction
charge the the other side with being
little less than idiots when it comes
to knowing anything about . financial
problems, and the silver faction re
tort by charging the goldites with
having sold out the party to New
"Fork and London bondocrats. But
it is an ill wind that blows nobody
good, and the" more bitter the. Dem
ocratic faction fight, the better it will
be for the country.
The ; wells of eloquence will be
pumped dry. when . the nomination
speeches are finished at St Louis'
There promises to be an abundance
f oratory. Senator Foraker will
nominate McKinley, Senator Lodge
will name Reed, and Chauncey De
pew is for Morton. The delegates will
listen to the honied words, admire
the speeches, and then vote as they
Convention
crowd, but
The California delegation is said
to be pushing the claims of U. S.
Grant, the son of the "hero of Ap
pomatox," for the vice-presidency.
This is carrying the "famous son of
a famousN sire" dodge to quite ap
extreme. It is true in more senses
than one that this young Grant
would never have been heard from
had it not been for his father.
After the election Monday theie
will be plenty of time to prepare for
a Fourth of July celebration, which
will be a credit to the town. Let us
decide to have one and then set to
work making it complete in eveiy
detail.; -
A ROOSTER IN EVIDENCE.
Brought Into Court and Placed on the
Witness Stand.
In a stealing cob which, was tried
in the county court at Sylvania, Ga.,
a very extraordinary witness was in
troduced the first of his kind that
has ever appeared in our courthouse,
says the Savannah News. This was a
dominick rooster. Two negro boys
were prosecuted for stealing chickens
from another negro.' The prosecutor
proved that his chickens were missing,
and he claimed to have identified them
in the yard of : the'"accuseL' ,'It then
developed on the -latter to prove their
bwnerslxip. One of our brightest young
lawyers was conducting the defense,
and he very ingeniously Introduced in
evidence the above mentioned domi
nick rooster, which belonged to the
defendants, in order to show the 'sim
ilarity in appearance between his roost
ership and the suspected- chickens.
This rooster was lord of the barnyard
on the place where the two boys lived,
arid the disputed chickens were so very
much like him in color and other ways
that no one doubted they were his lineal
descendants. The 'rooster, ' when put
on the stand, began ' at once to crow
lustily, as if desiring to proclaim the
innocence of the accused, and furnished
much amusement to the court. After
hearing all the evidence in the case
arid inspecting the rooster the judge
discharged the prisoners and told the
prosecutor that, while it was perhaps
true he nad lost his chickens, yet he
was convinced they vhad become the
prey of owls or 'possums.
THE GOOD SAMARITAN IN CHINA
He Would Have Been Likely to Get Hlm-
" self Into Trouble.
;One 'dark eveninc I was rptiii-nnm
home from a' call cn'one of our Eng-
iiu nuignoors m Xajyuenfu, writes
Prof. C. M. Cady in Century. When not
far from our compound the road
crossed an open space of several acres
in extent. As I was finding my way
along by the dim light of a Chinese
lantern, I nearly- stumbled over the
body of a man who had fallen by the
way. - My first impulse was to take
hold of the : person and ' ascertain if
help was needed; but for some reason
T did not, , but hurried home to get aid.
MrvX was still with us, and oil hearing
my statement said:
"Yes 1 know; the man is dead,'and
it is fortunate that you did not attempt
to touch the body. - Should 'we now
try to remove it, or even go to it, we
should no doubt be seen, and. at once
suspicion would attach itself to us, and
none could tell the consequences. We
might cause a riot before morning."
It should be said that this suspicion
would not have been because we were
f oreisrners. for a. Tt n t i v nniAf sim
ilar circumstances would likewise have
run tne risk of being charged with
the murder. Thf fiiWl s.,
