WASHINGTON , D. C. , July 1. )
Heprosentntlvo Vance , who was elected as
A democrat by a small majority with the
assistance of a largo vole cast for the pro
hibition candidate , says Harrison and Mor
ton will llkclv carry Connecticut , and the
democrats may as well icallro it llrst as last.
With Connecticut and Indiana and the other
states carried by Hlaine , the republicans can
elect their ticket without New York , no says ,
and he adds that the tariff plank of the plat
forms of the two pintles will give the icpub
licans strength In nil the doubtful states.
Mr. Vance continues : "The democrats are
not to have a walk-over by any means , and
the sooner the fact Is rccjgnbed the bct'er. '
Connecticut , as is known , Is an exceedingly
doubtful Btiitc. It never gives a plural
ity for either side of over a few
thousand. Since ls2 Its electoral vote has
alternated from one party to the other In
every presidential campaign. In isT'J It went
for Grant and Wilson , in 1S70 for Tilden and
Hcndricks , In 1SSO for Gaillcld and Authur
nml In 1SC4 for Cleveland and Hcndricks.
This year , In order to carry out the natural
order of rotation it seems that It had ought
to go for Harrison and Morton. Connecticut's
industries nro well protected under the present
sent tariff-law and this is why the situation
Is made doubtful.
Gradually , but surely the democrats are
generally becoming serious and areackt.owl
edging that n combination of circumstances
conspires to weigh tlieir ticket down and
that the outlook is not as hopeful as they at
llrst thought.
AllHANOINI ! TO noOIII.KIZR IN'I > IIN\ .
When Shcerin , Indiana's member ofthe
democratic national committee , wan here
hist week to sco the president it is stated
that ho advocated the establishment of a
western branch | jf the national commlttcj
of Indianapolis and that his friends urged
Chairman Hurnum mid others .to place him
nt tlie head of it. Some of the members
of the committee objected to Mr. Shcerin
becoming the manager of tbo
branch , however , and insisted that
Senator Gorman should bo placed
in charge with a view to carry Indiana for
Cleveland and Thiirinan. Mr. Shcrwin made
n good enough impression but a great many
democrats feel a little doubtful about putting
nny Indiana man in charge of the western
branch when they recall the fact that in IbbO ,
up to the hist hour of election night , all the
Indiana managers thought Indiana was
surely democratic , heir conlldcnco being so
great that a few days before election ? 25,000
was by their consent and advice diverted
from Indiana and sent to Cincinnati to be
swallowed up by the ward bummers of that
city. Then the paity at largo does not have
an abiding confidence in the ability of booster
democrats to handle money in the persuasion
of voters and the object In sending Gorman
to Indianapolis is to sco that there is not
only as good mi organisation as can bo af
fected but that tlio floaters are boodloizod
and that the prohibition ticket is booaied seas
as to catch us many republican votes as poss
ible.
rooi.s ON Tiin KM.CTION.
Dispatches sent from Washington during
the past week have told of the woiJc of the
pool rooms and the odds that are laid against
the republican ticket. In every instance the
statements wcro made by democratic
writers and advocates of tlie pres. nt admin
Istrntion. During the Hi st two or three dai s
after the Chicago convention it was reported
at the pool rooms , which aio now all located
inside the city limits , that odds wore oflcrcd
against tlio republican ticket , but 1 have
failed to find posted on any of tlio boards
anything of tlio kind. The odds for Cleve
land have all been in tlio minds of enthusias
tic democrats. A very few bets have been
made on even terms , but there is moiomonc.y
laid on the success ol Harrison and Morton
than on Cleveland. Hcpro entativo Wood
burn , of Nevada , ollors to bet $1,000 on each
state that Califoinl.i , Nevada and Oicxon
will go republican next November. Scnatoi
Uowcn has an opinion that he Is icady to
back up with about 10,000. IIo will select
ten northern states , including Indiana. Con
nectleut , Now Jersey and New Yoik , am
place 81,000 on each ono of them , with an ad
ditlomtl1,000 on the general icsult Asa
matter of lact ho Is a Harrison man. There
nro tin eo republican congressmen in New
York offering to wager even money on the
success of Harrison a < id Morion. The demo
crats who are talking so much about betting
do not bet.

iierutanding when the house adjourned yes

ms not intrigued , cabled , or written letters
upon the subject , either before or since his

detracted from the consistent appearance of
his personal position. They appeared not to
believe ho was actually out ol the canvass ,
and If his friends did not believe it his
enemies could not be expected to cicdit it
HIaine's friends remembered Ins former dec
laration before leaving the United States ,
and sought to get the withdrawal of other
candidates and his unanimous nomination.
This f.nlcJ , and as tlioy could not use
Hlalno as a candidate , all hopj of securing
his nomination fell through. If ho had con
sented at the earlier stages of the convention

[ Special to Tnc DEC.j A slight explanation
of Dr Talmago's strange conduct in refusing
to keep his contract at Crete is now supposed
to have been discovered. The last number
of the Congregatlonnllst , a paper published
in New Yoik City , announces tliat Dr. Till-
mage's ' church will soon go on an excursion
to the White mountains Many Chautau-
quans now suspect that upon leainlng of this
contemplated dissipation on the part of the
sheep of his pasture the learned doctor could
not resist the temptation to run away from
his engagements and go along with them.
If the unforeseen circumstances that caused
Mr. Talmago to break his contract at Crete ,
bitterly mortifying the management of the
assembly and disappointing thousands of
people , was nothing moro than a desire to go
pienielng with his flock ho will soon discover
that the assembly people will not patiently
enduio such treatment and will bo forced to
take the consequences of willfully breaking
a leg-ill engagement. Two telegrams ad
dressed to Dr. Talmago were received at the
Cietc oflleo this morning. This shows that
Talmago's friends in the cast expected him
to bo in Crete to day.
Yesterday was children's day at the assem
bly At 'J p. in. about two hundred children
met at the normal hall , mid having formed
a p-occssion , marched to the pavilion and
filed into the seats reserved for them. The
audience at this hour numbered between
I.OUOamt 5,001) ) . Dr. Dunninggavothochildren
a blackboard lesson on American history.
Having ascertained by a show of hands that
most of the children present had read "The
Pilgrims' Progress , " ho told the little people
that lie would tell them about a new pilgrim
and what ho did. In the year 1G20 our new pil
grim landed on Plymouth Hoek. In llUl ho
kept Thanksgiving day ; in 1022 ho built his
first meeting house ; in i ( ' < ' 2'3 ho had a fast day ;
in ItiUO ho began to build Boston ; in 1G3. > he
settled Connecticut ; in 1033 ho founded Har
vard college ; in lOI.'l ho organized a colonial
congress ; in KUSU lie printed a Uiblo for the
Indians ; in IGsO he began to use a fork , and
hung a clock on his wall. It took our pilgtim
almost a century to do all these wonderful
things. Then ho began the work of another
century. In 170.3 ho founded Yale college ;
In 1704 lie printed his first newspaper in Hos-
ton ; in 1710 he began to drink tea ; ia 1711
he put his first letter in a postoflico ; in 17:20 :
ho began to cat potatoes ; in 17-15 ho built an
organ ; in 1750 he put up n stove and a light
ning rod ; in 1700 he began to wear a shirt
collar , and took his wife to church in a
chaise ; In 1705 he joined the sons of libeity ;
in 1770ho dumped Ids tea into Uoston liar ,
bor ; in 1774 he lit his streets with oil lamps ;
in 1770 ho became independent ; in 1780 ho
bought his llrst unibicllu ; in 1700 he started
a cotton factory , and in 1K { ) he made himself
a cotton gin. This completed the work of
another century.
Dr Dunning then told what the new pil
grim did in the present century following
him year by year. Coming down to the pies
cut decade , he said :
"Now , children , what did this pilgrim do
in ivj. "
"Ho stalled the Nebraska Cliautauqua , "
shouted a chorus of childiea's voices ,
"Uight,1' said the doctor , "ami for whom
dldholcctuic in IssM"
"For Ptcsidcnt Harrison , " shouted the
children , and the pavillion rang with laugh
ter.
ter.The children thoioughly enjoyed Dr. Dun
mug's history lesson and clapped their hands
in applause at its close.
Colonel Cowdcn then gave a shoit chil
dren's ' lesson , and u Huiinese , whoso name
is unspclhible , gave a Jive minutes' talk
Miss Ilaiiilin then sang an appiopuate clul-
dien's song and the little people weio dis
missed , greatly delighted with the exorcises
of Children's day.
In the evening Colonel Hain delivered his
lectuie on tlie "Golden Gate , " a synopsis of
which was given in to-day's Hrc. It was
unanimously pronounced the finest lectuie
and the finest audience tlms was ever known
at the Nebraska assembly.
Miss Cora Cates , the sweet singer , arrived
on the grounds Satuiday evening , and will
lietcafter assist with the music.
At 5 p in. yesterday there was a college
confeienco. Addresses weie made by Piesi-
dent Perry , of Doanc colleire , and by PICSI-
dcnt lUnghind , of Hastings college. Tin
question. "Why Young Men Should Go to
College , " was ably discussed by these gen
tlemen. The progress of higher education m
the west and the need of a well disciplined
mind were the two points especially einpha
sized.
Sunday morning ut the assembly is some
thing that will never be forgotten by the
tent dwellers. The beauty of the morning ,
tllo crowds of happy people , the pence and
good older and .Sabbath tmnquility that
reigned over all the beautiful Summer city
will long linger in the memory of all.
The lirst wedding that ever occuried on
the assembly giciunds took place in the par
lor ol Dunning hull this morning. Andiew
M. Hargis mid Ida M. Kvans. of Giand
Island , chose this beautiful Sabbath for theli
wedding day , and the beautiful parlor of the
new assembly building for the place of the
occurrinie of the hapiiy event. They came
to the asseinblj with the expectation ol being
married by Dr. Tiilmago. but us Mr. Talmago
did not please to bo hero the young couple
askoJ Dr. Dunning to perfoim the ceremony
The wedding was witnessed by soveia
guests of Dunning hall und by some of the
olllccrs of the assembly.
This being Sunday morning the prayer
meeting was hold at f > o'clock. Hetweei
yHit ( > and liKt ) people were present. The
subject was , "Cluisi's words to us. " The
audience had been requested to be ready to
repeat as many as possible of Cluistsowi :
words , and many complied with the request
A , ported shower of Christ's snjings came
fiom all over the audience , a half do/ei
people sometimes rising up together. Tins
was not only the largest but also the bos
and most cainost ol all the assembly prayei
meetings This is saying a good deal , for
assembly prajer meetings aio all wonder
fully interesting and eainest and well at
tended. The only drawback about them is
that people keep coming in during everi
moment of the mooting. More eaio nbou
bc-ing in tune would bo greatly appreciated
both by those wiio have charge of thos <
meetings and by these who uirivo at the
piopcr time.
At 10.10 ! Colonel Hain delivered a gospo :
tempenuico sermon The elioius , composci
of 15llvoices , sang the antlu-m , "Praise jo
Jehovah , " which was composed by Dr
Palmer , who was present in the audience
having nrnved at Crete. last evening. Dr
Dunning then announced that lie had re
ceived a telegram from , Dr. Tnlmuge , who I *
in ithoilo Island , and claims that he is BO
ovirt-omo by beat ami by frequent lecturing
that he is physically incapacitated from com
ing to Nebra kn Tins would sound very
well if nobody suffoied from the heat
except 13 r Talmago. und If Col
onel Hail ) , who ban of late done more
und Lnltiir lecturing than Dr. Taluiago has
done , had not done his work for him. The
Bleat preaehpr-will find a hotter excuse than
a little heat and a little physical weakness if
ho exiic'eU the thousands whom ho disap
pointed to forgive hiai'fcr failing to keep his
contract. Thc.large audience of this ; awn-
ng the number present being variously cs-
Imatcd at from ten to llftcen thousand , re
ceived the news of Ur. Ttilmapo's wherea
bouts , and his forced excuse with much in-
llffcrcnco. Everybody has grown weary of
dm , and Colonel Unin Is now receiving the
ittentlon and applause nf all. The eloquent
Kentuckiaii is almost Idolized , both because
of his great ability as a lecturer , and because
of his great kindness In so tibly taking the
ilnee of the absent TnljnngiV His sermon

WAMII.NHTON , Juno 30. [ Special" to Tun
HIB. : ] "There Is moro human nature about
Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll than any man I
know prominently before the country at this
time , " observed ono of the colonel's old sen
atorial friends this morning. "If 1 had been
absent from the United States for ten years
and dropped into Chicago during the conven
tion only to find Colonel Ingersoll tlieio
working for Walter ( J. Orcsham , and know
ing some things that I now know and not
knowing others , I would have been amarcd
beyond description. When I came to the
senate , something like ten jcars ago , 1 used
to often go l ° Colonel Ingersoli's ofllce. and
ho frequently came to my committee room In
the senate , mid we discussed politics , religion
mid incidents growing out of the war with
that freedom and confidence that character
ises two brothers. Colonel Ingcisoll was the
bitterest enemy of Koscoo Colliding that I
ever heard of. Ho did not dislike Colliding
personally as much as ho did politically. Ho
worshiped Hlaine , as ono can see by reading
his speech placing him In nomination at Cin
cinnati In lb G. He thought that Hlaine was
the ideal statesman , politician and citizen. Ho
regarded Colliding as haughty , ungrateful ,
prejudiced and narrow-gauged. He saw in
Hlalno overi thing that was good , and In Conk-
ling everything that was bad. 1 then liked
Blaine very much more than I do now , and I
was a steadfast friend of Colliding. I knew
the great loader of the stalwarts , in a
familiar way , and 1 knew the qualities of his
high personal merit so well that 1 could not
help admit ing him to the fullest extent of
my ability. J used to bog Ingersoll to con
sider Colliding moro Judiciously , and bo
more sparing in his condemnation of him. If
you will read .George C. Gorham's excoria
tion of Hlaine , recently published in a Now
York paper , and his laudations ol Colliding ,
and will take into consideration that Gorhani
and Ingersoll are intimate friends , and then
you will also lead the colonel's eulogy de
livered ut the old homo of Mr. Colliding , you
will sec that Colonel Inkers-oil's ideal of man
was Mr. Colliding at thu time ol the hitter's
death. 1 cati understand how Colonel Injjcr-
sell came to love Mr. Colliding as ho did ,
but I have been unable to understand why
Ingersoll so thoroughly despises Mr. Ulaino. "
"During the Kepublican convention at
Chicago in I'-Sl , I went to the rooms of Col
onel Ingersoll , in the Grand Puciilc hotel , for
the purpose of ascertaining why he had lo
cated his headquaiters tlieio to work against
the nomination of Air. Ulaine , when but
eight years bcfoio ho was running the boom
of the Plumed Knight , to whom ho gave this
title , at Cincinnati. Mrs. Ingersoll , who is
one of the brainiest , happiest and sweetest-
dlspositioncd women in all the country , was
In the parlor with Colonel IngcrsollBwhen-I
was admitted. Both of them received mo as
nearly simultaneously as is possible'
' 'I ' Colonel said I 'to if
came , , , see you
would not tell me , for publication , what has
brought about this great change of attitude
towards Mr. Ulaine on your part. ' "
"Certainly,1 said the Colonel.in hisusually
frank and good imtured way , ' 1 will toll jou.
There is no secret about it , whatever I
thought everybody knew why we , ' tuining to
Mrs. Ingersoll and laying his hand on her
shoulder , 'aftuctiunntely , aie now opposed to
Mr. Ulaine , while we were for him at Cin
cumuli in Is'G.
" 'Lot mo tell him , eolonel , ' interposed Mr.
Ingcisoll ; 'I think 1 can do it quite as well
as ion can , and 1 have moro time than you
have. ' "
' "Very well , ' replied the colonel , and I
took a scat beside Mrs. Ingersoll , when she
began to talk , as nearly as 1 can remember
as follows :
" ' 1 have often told Colonel Ingersoll dur
ing the past thieeyeais that there was Just
ono thing that 1 icgretod moie than all others
in all of ins political ciueer and that was the
magnificent speech ho delivered for Mr.
Hlamo at Cincinnati when ho placed him in
nomination , and when lie used those memor
able phrases : 'The past rises before mo
like a dicam , ' 'the plumed knight , ' and other
expressions you are as familiar with as I am ,
no doubt. There is no man living who is
a dearer friend and a moro enthusiastic
friend than Colonel Ingersoll. His friend
ship for those lie admires is unbounded and
proverbial. Ho loved Mr. Hlamo as lie
did a brother and his enthusiasm for
him and his confidence in him
led mo to bo as strong a
Hlaine woman as ho was a Hlaine man. 1
fairly awakened him ut night when lie was
preparing his nomination speech and made
suggestions to him to bo used in his eulogy
Mr. Hlaino was defeated , of course , and Mr.
I hues was nominated.V'o retained our ad
miration and friendship for Mr. Hlaine until
Mi. Garlleld went into the white house in
March , IhSI. During the campaign which
ended in the election of General Gaiiloht ,
Colonel Ingersoll did everything ho could to
bring abuut success fortho republican ticket.
You remember there weie great posteis
made and circulated all over the country on
which weie extracts from Colonel Ingoisell's
speech , placing in nomination Mr. Ulaine ,
and Mr. Garlleld was held up as the ideal
friend of the Plumed Knight. Colonel Inger
sell delivered speeches and worked like a
ward politician. Naturally , when General
Garilold went into the white house , wo pre
sumed that wo had , ut least , the icspoctof
the president , and that wo would have
some influence with him. Colonel Inger
sell never wanted a federal ofllce. His am
bition lies in other ditc'Llioiis. Tlieio is not
a single position within the c'ift ol the presi
dent he would Imvo now or ever \\ould have
had. He would rather be what he is than be
pn sident , because he would not bu able to
toward his friends , if ho wcro In power , to
the extent that he would desire , and , as u
consequence , he would bo miserable. The
colonef was among the first to call upon Pres
ident Garlleld , nml to congratulate him not
only upon his success , hut upon the organi/-
ation of his cabinet. Ho uas especially
pleased \\ith the selection of Mr. Hlaine to
be secretary of state. Ho thought hm
Plumed Knight would make a grand premier
of the cabinet. D.IJS llnally slipped into
weeks , and the weeks finally made two or
three months after President Garllold went
into the white house. The colonel discov-
eicd along about this time that his reccp
lions ut the white house were growing coal ,
and at times ho was compelled to wait in the
icception loom with the masses of people
ple who.had no other than trivial polit
ical or social business with the presi
dent.Vo talked the matter over and 1 told
the colonel that the trouble came irom Mr.
Hlamo. He would nut believe it , but said ho
would go and sco Mr. lilainu. He culled
upon him at his residence or his private ofllco
in the department of state , and while he
could discover that ihcro was ti change in
the man , so far as his pcisonul attitude to
ward him was coiifctncd , Mr Ulaine patted
him on the back , smiled blandly into his eyes
and ussuicd him that ho was the same dear
and truu friend that he always was , und that
ho would make him all right at the white
house. Instead of maltois getting better at
the white house they grew weiso. Now , 1
discovered the secret Mj personal relations
with Mrs Hluinu had , up to the tune of Mr.
blame's induction into the cabinet , been
such its to lead me to oxpect-no ( . that I es
pecially desired iti-tu be received into full
me.mbership of thu cabinet society. I re
membered all at ouco that there , had been
numerous recaptions an.d ilmnois given by
people' connected V.Uh the cabinet , uud that 1
ind not received invitations to them. I told
the colonel that Mrs. Hlamo was at the bottom
tom of all the difficulty. It was but n few
Injs Until my suspicions wcro con
tinued , and 1 instantly said
that 1 did not want to associate with nay of
the lot , and from that moment wo cut the
hypocritical crowd. 1 never said a word or
did an act except in friendship nnectinc Mrs.
Ultimo , Mrs. Garilold , or either of fieir hus-
Imads , and I am sure that the same is true of
Colonel lupoi soil Now you know whv we

"It has been suggested , and 1 believe It.
that ono thing \\hich largely Influenced
Colonel Inecisoll to work for , ludo
Grcsham at Chicago last weoic was the fact
that the Judee was an ardent friend of Mr
Colliding , and has no p.itienoo with Mr.
Hlalno. while Colonel In 'M-soll Is a man of
as little prejudice as any one I can think of ,
there is no doubt in my mind , that the
sympathies and dl llko < of a man like Judge
Giesham would Imvo an iiillueneo upon
Colonel lugersoll when they run in such
sympathetic ! ! ! channels as they do. Theio
are many reasons pci mial to Colonel

Poiui.vN'ii , Oro. , Juno } ! 0. Oregon Is
going to have an illumination on the Fourth
of July which will no do ubt attract attention
around the world. L-ist year u party of live
adventurous and sturday young men as
cended Mount Hood nearly to the summit ,
which Is 12,300 feet hleh , each carrying
twenty pounds of red lire , and at 11 :30 : p m.
set fire to It. The illumination was seen in
this city , fifty-two miles distant as the crow
Hies , by more than forty thousand people ,
who wcro watching for it , and persons
living in southeastern Oregon. 110 miles
from the "snowy sentinel , " saw the bla/e
plainly.
Tills year a 'chain of snow-coveicd peaks ,
stretching from northern California nearly
to the British Columbia line , a distance of
700 miles , will bo illuminated with red lire.
The committee in charge of the connnq ; cele
bration in tills city stalled the ball rolling by
a liberal appropriation for illuminating
Mountt Hood , St Helen's and Adams , all
three within sixty miles of Portland. The
matter has been placed in the hands of Wil
liam G. Steel , secretary of the Oregon Al
pine club , who will superintend personally
the \\ork on Mount Hood. Ho has already
organised a paity of eight and will leave
hero Juuo ! tO Other Poitland parties will
attend to Adams and St. Helen's
A party from Kugeno will illuminate the
Thieo Sistcts , near the head of the William-
otto valley , about 1'JO miles south of hero , and
a party fiom Ashland will Illuminate Mount
Pitt , a peak forty miles north of the Califor
nia. Airaagements have been perfected by
the citizens of Sissons , Cal. , to burn red fire
on the summit of Shasta. They will have to
undergo little hardship , as the grandest of
Paciilc coast snow peaics is only sixteen miles
distant. The citizens of Seattle , AV. T. , will
illuminate Mount liamier , and the Poit
To\Miseml people at e expected to take care
of Mount Haker.
Should the night prove cloudless , a person
on any of the hills back of Portland will bo
able to see the lire burning on live mount
ains , namely , IJaincr , St. Helen's , Adams ,
Hood and the Three Sisters. Each illumi
natimr party will bo able to see the wet k of
at least one of the others. Haintor will bo
able to see Hood. Hood to sec the Three Sis
ters , mid so on down to Shasta. The only
pioblem Is the weather. Ascents of the
mountains have been made innumerable
times and it was „ demonstrated- year
that ono mail" if * ho bo strong
and willing car. pack a load of
twenty pounds. Those who touch oil the red
fire must i emaln on the summit until day
light. and this requires what Kobeit Collyer ,
the Scotch nlacksmith , calls "clear grit ; " but
men enough have been found to do it. Oregon
boys are made of the same stufl as our brave ,
restless forefathers , who outran the pio-
photic visions of Cooper , conquered savages.

Signal I0\perimonts.
Poim.vNM ) , Ore , July 1. Owing to the con
tinued cloudy weather and the obscuration of
Mount Hood , nothing has yet been seen of
the signals from the illuminating party. It
is impossible to make signals by means of
the heliograph unless the sun shines brightly.
The paity is expected to i each the enter
rocks by noon to-day. Should the utmos
phone condition uo very favoiablc , elicits
\ \ ill bo made to signal to and fro after night.
Should the feasibility of signaling after dark
by means of calcium lights for that distance
bo demonstrated , a complete revolution in
night signaling will doubtless be wrought.

Cincvoo , 111. , July 1. A grip car , beyond

badly frightened women and children , and

As the Clatk street car
came out of the tunnel , going

that the railroads have been encouraged In

that a long and bitter fight Is before them ,
and one in which national politics will bo

claim that , as the rates have been prepared ,
by the terms of the law they will
