The Cliwice Wonll Hr Keen Bland
Kut He Withdrew Hl
Name.
Chicago, July 11. A caucu9 of the
delegates adjourned at 2:30 o'clock this
morning without naming a candidate for
vice-president. The convention was
called to order at 11 a. m. Harrity of
Pennsylvania announces that a meeting
of the National Committee would -be
held at 3 p. m. .Very few gold delegates
are present today. McLean of Ohio,
Judge Walter Clarke of North Carolina,
Geo. W. Fithian cf Illinois, Pennoyer of
Oregon, Arthur Sewell of Maine, Joseph
G. Sibley of Pennsylvania and Daniels
of Virginia wree nominated as candi
dates for vice-president. The nomina
tion of Daniels was productive of the
greatest cheering. Daniels, McLean,
and Fithian withdrew their names.
The result of the first ballot was:
Williams, of Massachusetts, 76; Mc
Lean, 111; Lewis, 11; Clarke, 50;
Fithiin, 1 ; Sewell, 108 ; Sibley, 161 ;
Daniels, 11; Boies, 16; Williams, of
Illinois, 22; Harrity, 11; Bland, 62;
Blackburn, 20; Teller, 1; Pattison,2;
White, 1 ; not voting, 230.
12:30 A second ballot was ordered.
Alabama casts her 22 votes for Bland.
(Cheers.) The result of the second bal
lot was as follows : Williams, of Massa
chusetts, 16; McLean, 164; Clark, 22;
Sewell, 37;' Sibley, 116; Williams, of
Illinois, 111; Bland, 286; Pattiaon.l;
not voting, 227.
The third ballot was then taken.
Previously Amos Cumming read a
telegram from Sibley which with
drew bis name from the contest. How
ever he got 50 votes. The result was
Williams of Massachusetts, 15; Mc
Lean, 210; Clarke, 22; Sewell, 97;
Sibley of Pennsylvania, 50 ; Daniels, 6 ;
Harrity, 19; Bland, 255; Pattison, 1;
not voting 257 ; necessary to choice 449.
A Telegram was received from Bland
saying it would be unwise to nominate
two candidates from the West, and he
therefore withdrew his name. This
gave Sewell almost a sufficient number
of votes tor a nomination, the fifth bal
lot resulting Sewall 430, being short
only twenty-five votes. A motion then
carried that Sewell receive the unani
mous nomination'. Cheering occurred
all over the hall, the time being 1 :35,
when the convention adjourned sine die
How it Look la England.
London, July 10. The Chronicle says
"The Chicago convention has justified
the expectations of its worst enemies
Nobody could have foreseen such a
speedy and open voicing of the enmity
of the West and the South against . the
East. The financial condition ot Argen
tina and of Greece is a paradise com
pared with what would be the condition
of the United States should. the
free-silver party come into office
If so colossal a catastrophe as the elec
tion of a silver president should occur,
America would be brought face to face
with financial panic and commercial
ruin and with a second civil war."

REPUDIATED BT THE SDN.
The Greatest Democratic Dally Is Oat
for McKinley.
New York, Jnly 10. The Sun in the
following editorial formally repudiates
the national Democratic platform, and
supports McKinley for the presidency :
'Southern poverty, engendered by the
war, and the common discontent stirred
up to recklessness by the agitation of
the last twelve years, have at last blazed
into a demand for a debased coinage and
a tax on wealth, and have carried the
national Democratic convention. The
Chicago platform cannot be accepted.
The United States was made Democratic
and it must remain so. Free-silver
coinage would be national dishonor and
a monumental anachronism. Surer has
had its day as the money standaid. The
silver campaign is "based on delusions
which have no justification and on state
ments which are not true. It cannot
prevail, and every sincere believer in
fair dealing in business as the founda
tion of commercial prosperity must put
aside all other purposes and unite for
its defeat.
'From now until the night of election
day in November the presidentialc audi-
date of every Democrat who favors hon
est money, and who still hopes to crush
the enemies ot the fundamental prin
ciples he was bred in, should be, with
out hesitation, evasion or prejudice,
William McKinley."

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Care is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood und mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials. Address :

Havana, July 10. Rebels hovering in
the districts ! just ' beyond Guanabacoa,
are more active. Recently . they fired
upon various government posts in the
outskirts of the city, the Spanish garri
sons in Santa Maria and other forts re
sponding with desultory firing. For
half an hour there was great excitement.
The insurgents finally retreated, carry
ing their wounded with them. The at
tacking parties displayed such poor
marksmanship that they neither killed
nor wounded any member of the garri
son in the outposts defending the city.
From Pinar del Rio, General Bernal
officially reports having sustained, near
Main and De Benaies, for two and a half
hoars, a combat with various insurgents
bands entrenched in strong positions in
the vicinity. In view of their tenacious
resistance against repeated Spanish
charges, Bernal personally led the last
and and successful attack, the artillery
co-operating with good effect. The rebel
cam ps at Basni and Blanco were taken
by storm and a great quantity of muni
tions captured.
. Bernal had only GOO men nd the in
surgents had over 1600 men, commanded
by Ramon Lazox. It is reported that
the latter was seriously wounded in the
fight. The Spanish loss is given at 11
killed and wounded.
The rebels in their flight left 31 dead
on the field. The peasant families in
the vicinity, said they also had many
wounded.
Maceo Reported Dead.
Hanaka, July 10. Merchants of Pinar
del Rio, who arrived here last night,
