I thnnkyou for what you have done , and whether I shall bo successful or not , there's ono thing of which I cannot be deprived , and that is the gratifi cation of knowing that 1 have the good will of the people of my state and of tbo United States. There scarcely ever happened In the history of the world a sublimcr spectacle than the ronomiuntion of Grover Cleveland by the unanimous voice of the convention. The people of the United States love a brave man , and Cleveland is n bravo innn ; they love an honest man , and Goil knows ho Is an honest man ; they love ftlnan of good sound judgment , and I don't know any man of sounder judgment than his. They love a man who stands up for the people and for principle , and does not fear to take the consequences , and such a man is Grover Cleveland. Now , I thank you and will bid you good night. " A Flower That Blooms With Joy. CHICAGO , June 8. [ Special Telegram to Tin : Bui : . ] Russell P. Flower , Chairman Harnum and Patrick ICelly were resting themselves at the Pacific to-day on their re turn from St. Louis. To a reporter who called Mr. Flower was very affable. "The nomination of Allen G. Thurman , " ho said , "is the strongest that could possibly have been made. The selection of the Old Roman will silence every man in the democratic party that has had the slightest grievance against the administration for what has been termed an unfair distribution of patronage , and any man who was at all sour nt Cleve land will whoop It up for him now that Thurman is his running mate. The outlook ! No ticket the republicans can possibly put up can defeat tariff reform. Cleveland's vote in Now York will bo increased and Thurman will bring to the ticket the entire democracy. The Pacific coast is particularly grateful to Thurmun for his stand on the Chinese- question , and will surely give him a solid majority. " Just. So ! Mr. Ciirtln. NEW YOIIK , Juno 8. [ Special Telegram to Tin : Bin. : ] George William Curtis , presi dent of the National Civil Servio Reform league , said : "Tho action of the convention is precisely what I had anticipated. " "How will the civil service reform league regard the platform i" "It was exactly what was to have been expected. The president in his message , which is virtually the platform , omitted all allusion to reform. The silence of the platform upon the subject of civil service reform can therefore bo no surprise to the friends of civil service reform. " "Will the civil service refonn league sup port Mr. Cleveland I" "Undoubtedly some of them will oppose - pose him on the ground that to vote for him would be , in their Judgment , a con donation of his coine upon the subject. Othcrshowevcrwho hold that with whatever drawbacks and disappointments the cause of reform has practically advanced under Cleveland , and those who are strongly inter ested In tariff reform will undoubtedly sup port him warmly as the best practical alter native. " A Candid Opinion. INDIAN-ATOMS , Juno 8. [ Special Telegram to THE Hii : : . ] Governor Gray said that ho was not at all surprised thut Thurman was nominated. Ho had known for two days that such a result wus inevitable. Ho did not feel badly over it. Ho knew that ho would have been nominated without contest hud It not been for the Thurman boom snnniring up , Ho was now prepared to work like a beaver for the ticket , Cleveland and Tliur- man , and had every hope of success for it In thu state this fall , Ho candidly thought Thurmun's name added strength to the ticket. _ _ _ _ _ John Hull Jubilant. Losnox , June 8. This morning's papers , in referring to President Cleveland's nomi nation , say that It is all in the direction of free trade , and comments are consequently congratulatory m tono. The St. James Ga zette says the democrats nro extremely likely to have it all their own way nt the next election. The republicans have neither man nor caute. The Pall Mull Gazette speaks oven of n third term us a matter of course and says : ' The | Kint ) of contest about which wo leel the most interest in this country is the tariff question. " The Star says , of the proceedings at St. Louis : "Wo may very well re-echo that cnlhuslusui on this bide f the water , for tbo re-election of President Cleveland means the adoption of a high programme of tariff.

The sub-committee present consisted of Senators Halo ( chairman ) , Chase nnd Blackburn. A score or more of the Civil Service Reform nssociationof Maryland were present. Charles J.

He spoke of the bad char acters berne by some of the o officials , es pecially mentioning Morris Thomas , Eugene lllgglnft , J. J. Million and 1. Freeman Basin. Ho said that these men bad had characters and reputations. Senator Blackburn nked whether these gentlemen had committed any definite net that the witness could mention which would substantiate the assertion that they were men of bad characters. Bonaparte replied that his Idea of a man of bad character was one concerning whom the general's report spoke unfavorably. John Qulnii testified that ho Is clerk to the holler and steamboat Inspectors , and his duties are to make out permit bills , etc. , for steamboat captains. Senator Halo asked the witness to write out a permit such as ho issues from the Inspector s ofllec. The wit ness replied that he Is not much of n scholar , and that his son did that sort of work for him. He was urged again , but declined to write a permit. The witness acknowledged tnat he had not done a single stroke of the clerical work of the office since his appoint ment. His salary Is $1,200 n year , out of which he pays for his son's board and cloth ing , amounting perhaps to $12 or $15 n week. THIS MADSrONK UI3MKMY. Two CascH of DOR Bites Kft'octunlly Cured In Chicago. CHICAGO , Juuo S. [ Special Telegram to Tins BKH.J For the past mouth or more there has been a great demand for two "miidstoncs" in the possession of residents of this city. Five cases of dog bites linvo been treated within three weeks , nnd all the patients arc doing well. The matter Is.ex- clting u great deal of discussion again. Sev eral physicians pooh-pooh the idea that there is any such thing as a mndstono , or that there Is any ofllcacy in the stones that have been used , claiming the remedy exists wholly In imagination. Yet the fact remains that two of such stones are really In existence and are devoutly trusted by those who have seen them used. The latest of the cases treated in tins vicinity was Mr. Fred McCul- lough , who was bitten Monday by a rabid dog. The stone was applied that night nnd adhered to the wound until Tuesday morn- inir , being taken off and boiled in milk sev eral times to remove the supposed poison from it. The worst case that has been treated recently was the little daughter of W. B. Lucko of Evanston , 111. , who was bitten by a mad dog five days before the stone was ap plied. The attending physician said erysip elas had set in. The hand had turned black and was swollen out of shape. She was very feverish and had become sick. A messenger was sent for one of the madstones. After four days nnd nights the child was pro nounced well. The erysipelas , blackness , swelling and fever had disappeared , and the child was ns well as she ever hud been. "Wants n Human Herd Book.

[ Spaclal Telegram to Tun Bui : . ] With two such social lions as Prince Roland Bonaparte and "Buffalo Bill" on the card it is not surprising that the at- tenduncu uUlnst evening's meeting of the in ternational congress of anthropology was the largest of the week. "Buffalo Bill" was not present , but it was understood that purely scientific studies into the ethnology of the North American-Indian on Sta'.en Island kept him away. Wilson McDonald , the sculptor , created a diversion and provoked laughter by frankly stating bis belief that many of the pitpars that had been read were utterly valueless. Ho said the great problem was how to make young people marry prop erly. "There ought to bo a human herd book , " said he ; "we have improved horses and cattle until an animal will sell for $40- C'O ; ) , Wo have improved dogs and hogs so that they can play euchre and poker as well as any of you.

Chance after chance to win the gome was al lowed to slip by , and of the seven men loft on bases , nt least four could have been brought homo with proper Judgment In coaching. The Maroons hit Stephens oftencr than the visitors hit Coughlln , but somehow the hitting did not provo very effective. Tlio fielding wns certainly creditable on the part of the .Maroons.
