_ hose who participated in the struggle are
not anxious to renew it. The agitators of
to-day were in most instances non-comba-
tants. A new generation has come upon
the scene. Younger voters know of war
only through tradition and history. They
look with aversion on every attempt to lead
them into impertinent discussion. They
are too busy with the practical affairs
of life to engage in useless contro-

than the delusion of an empty name.
They know that the glory and advance-
ment of the republic is dependent on gener-

fathers' heroic deeds tliey yet believe that
unkind words and exaggerated references to
the past are not promotive of present har-
mony or of future prosperity, and that an

CONVENTION ECHOES.
A compromise broken.
St. Louis, Mo., June 5.—About the only
feature of genuine interest is the delibera-
tions of the committee on resolutions. More
real political effort has been put forth on
the composition of this committee than the
■vice-presidency itself, or,indeed any other
•work before the convention.
Monday morning Senator Gorman and
Congressman Scott had reached an under-
standing concerning the tariff plank. They
had arranged to reaffirm the tariff clause
of 1884, and to add a moderate indorsement
of the president's tariff message with a long
paragraph explanatory of the democratic
party's position on the tariff. Scott had
also consented to let Gorman have the
honor of the chairmanship of the plat-
form committee. Congressman Scott
yielded to the compromise in behalf of har-
mony and through a desire to bring all dis-
affected elements of the party into full sym-
pathy with the administration. But to-day
the truce was declared off. Gorman, Bor-
num and their high tariff sympathizers
Were more active in visiting the influential
men of the various delegations than was
relished by Scott. There were signs that
the high tariff men were preparing to
STEAL A >f.ili< n
on the other wing of the party. Scott was
particularly incensed at the selection of ex-
Mayor Cooper, a strong protectionist, as
the New York representative on the com-
mittee. From the other side Scott was sub-
jected to great pressure, Commissioner
Morrison and Henry Wattel'son calling on
mi?! insisting that no compromise,
however small the concession involved,
should be'made. The agreement be-
tween Scott and Gorman was finally
declared off, and Watterson, who
had been a candidate for the perma-
nent chairmanship, was put forward as the
candidate of tlie tariff reform people for
chairman of the platform committee, lie
was opposed by. Senator Gorman, but the
committee chose Watterson by the close
vote of 22 to 20. A change of one vote would
have given the victory to the opponents of
the administration party.
arkansas committeemen.
The Arkansas delegation name'd the fol-
lowing committeemen in the convention to-
day: National committeeman, If. D. Clay-
ton; committee 011 resolutions, W. L.
Terry; on credentials, A. S. Morgan; on or-
ganization, B. P. Duval.
THE l'LATFOUM.
W. L. Scott lias been made a member of
the national committee, but says he is not
a candidate for chairman.
Senator Gorman said at 10 p. m. that the
platform committee had not reached a point
where any three agreed, and that the com-
mittee would be in session all night.
THE COMMITTEES.
WATTERSON WINS.
St. Louis, Mo., June 5.—The committee
on resolutions elected Henry Watterson of
Kentucky their chairman over Gorman of
Maryland, by a vote of 22 to 20. The commit-
tee appointed to prepare a platform consists
of members from Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Maryland, Kentucky, Indiana,
Oregon, Michigan, Mississippi, Colorado
and Louisiana. It meets at 9 o'clock to-
morrow.
The committee on resolutions met in se-
cret session at 5 o'clock this afternoon in
the parlors of the national democratic
committee at the, Southern hotel. The
committee was called to order by Hon. Ed-
ward Cooper of New York. The names of
Henry Watterson of Kentucky and Senator
A. Gorman of Maryland were put in nom-
ination for the chairmanship, and the re-
sult was the election of the former upon
the first ballot. At the sug-
gestion of Senator Gorman Mr. Wat-
terson's nomination was made unanimous.
On motion of Mr. Gorman a sub-commit-
tee of nine was appointed to draft resolu-
tions and report to the full committee at its
meeting to-morrow morning, the following
states to be represented upon the sub-com-
mittee: Connecticut, New York, New Jer-
sey, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Oregon,
Maryland and Mississippi. At Mr. Watter-
son \s suggestion this was subsequently en-
larged to eleven by the addition of represen-
tatives from Colorado and Louisiana.
The session was brief and harmonious
throughout.
Adjourned to 9 o'clock to-morrow morn-
ing.
As the doors were opened many promi-
nent gentlemen who had been anxiously
awaiting the result thronged ablaut Mr.
Watterson and offered hearty congratula-
tions.
national league clubs.,
the idea spreading.
St. Louis, Mo., June 5.—The democratic
national league of clubs represented at the
convention by E. -B. Whitney, temporary
secret;:rv of the league; P. Kingsbury Curtis
and K. G. Monroe of New York, Charles
Ogden of OmaBa, Bradley G. Schley of Mil-
waukee, Lewis T. B. Vandergrift of Wil-
mington, Del., and Congressman Ruck of
Baltimore, have established headquarters
at the Laclede hotel, with the object of rep-
resenting to the visiting delegates the value
of the "organization and the object of the
convention to be held at Baltitnore on July
4. There are now about 2000 mem-
bers of league In the city. The
committee were given a hearing
before the national committee
this morning. On motion of Senator Gor-

I Greys tor
ver have" already joined the league and signi-
fied their intention of spreading the club
organization thro ugh the state and adjoin-
ing territories. West Virginia and Indiana
have been admitted and promise a general
organization throughout those states. The
committee was informed that Florida had
already elected delegates and would send
them to the convention. In Tennessee the
democrats are taking the scheme under ad-
visement, and are organizing clubs. L. \V.
Reddington has organized a club at lint-
land, Yt., and reports that they are now
spreading the work all through the state on
the basis of the national league representa-
tion. The Iroquois club of San Francisco
has alliliated clubs all over the state, and
is informed that the state will send a large
delegation to the convention.
THE LITTLE CAVALRYMAN.
The Battle "With the Grim Destroyer Still
Itaging.
Washington, June 5.—Dr. Pepper arrived
at the house shortly before 3 o'clock. Gen-
eral Sheridan recognized him and said: "I
intend to get well all the same."
All the physicians were in attendance, and
the consultation lasted until five minutes to
<>, when Dr. Pepper returned to Philadel-
phia. The following bulletin was then is-
sued;

almost fatal, as it immediately developed a
return of grave heart failure. Most power-
ful restoratives were required to secure a

fresh trouble appeared. The heart has ral-
lied as promptly as could be hoped, consid-
ering the organic disease present. The kid-

time. The nervous force shows serious de-
pression, and the gravest anxiety must con-
tinue to be felt as to its endurance in ease
of any further complication. The remedies
and food are borne remarkably well.

The following bulletin was issued at 2.10

June 5.—1.45p. m.—General Sheridan has
dozed and sleptall morning. There have
been two very slight hemorrhages from the
stomach, which have not apparently weak-
ened him. His pulse is 105 "and of fair qual-
ity; his respiration easy. There is but little
cough, with loose expectoration. The ex-

pr. peri'eu talks.
Philadelphia, Pa., June 5.—Dr. Pepper
returned from Washington this morning,
where he has been in consultation with
General Sheridan's physicians. To a reporter
of the Associated Press lie said: "f spent
last night at General Sheridan's in consulta-
tion with his attending physicians. The
bulletin issued this morning explains clear-
ly theeause of the alarming condition which
developed yesterday afternoon. The hem-
orrhage was considerable and the check
caused by it very profound. I am sure that
death would have resulted had it not been
for the vigorous measures instantly
adopted by his physicians, who are in
constant attendance upon him. It is
not at all rare for such hemorrhage
to occur when there is organic valvular
disease of the heart, with failure of cardix
power, so that the system becomes intensely
congested. The existence of organic heart
disease has been known for some time to
General Sheridan and to Dr. O'Heilly, his
own physician. The development of alarm-
ing symptoms of heart failure dates back to
the exhaustion connected with his recent
trip west. It is impossible to assert that
there may nothe .a recurrence of this hemorr-
hage, and in such event a return of
severe heart failure would place his life in
urgent danger. On the other hand there
are, as shown in the bulletin of this morn-
ing, several favorable features about the
present condition of General Sheridan's case.
A FAVORABLE DAY.
This has been a favorable day for General
Sheridan. He has rested quietly, and has
apparently gained a little in strength. The
family are quite cheerful to-night. Dr.
O'Rielly went home to secure some sleep af-
ter the last bulletin was issued, stating that
ho did not think he would
be needed immediately. At no
time hag the general himself given up
hope of recovery and to-day his mind has been
clear and lie has taken considerable interest
in things in general. He insisted upon
knowing the news from the St. Louis con- j
Vention, and dispatches from there were '
read to him from time to time. While then'
has certainly been •improvement in his 1
condition to-day it must be borne in I
mind that this is largely compara- !
live and does not mean that lie is [
better than before yesterday's attack. Each 1
attack leaves the general somewhat weaker, 1
and it is this fact which causes such grave i
apprehensions among his friends. The gen- I
eral's face, which was very full, is some- '
what thinner, and he has also fallen oil
about the body. No one is allowed to see
him except th<; family, and physicians.

chairman of the league committee made a
short statement, of the object of the club
and what it expected to accomplish. The
object in visiting the national committee
was to present to each state and territory in
an -authoritative way an invitation to the
Baltimore convention, and to induce these
gentlemen to take an interest in organizing
clubs in their localities and have them rep-
resented in Baltimore. The committee have
added clubs from several states since the es-
tablishment of headquarters here. The
clubs of Kansas will have a state meeting
at Topeka on July 4 to organize a state
league. Delegates from clubs will also be
sent to the Baltimore convention. The clubs
of Illinois will meet at
June 11
A STATE DELEGATION
to visit Baltimore with the representatives
of many clubs of the state. Michigan has a
very complete organization, over 100 clubs
having signified their intention of sending
delegations to Baltimore. Nebraska like-
wise has an excellent organization, and will
have a large representation at the conven-
tion. Ohio will send over 100 delegates to
the conference. Wisconsin reports many.

DAU.AS, Tex., June 5.—A fair crowd was
present to witness the ball game this after-
noon between Dallas and Austin, and they
saw a splendid game of ball. Dallas never
played better, taking the game as a whole,
and Austin played exceedingly well, too.
j Up to the eighth inning Dallas had the game
' grabbed, the score then being 8 to
2 in her favor, but in this inning
Austin made seven runs. Jnst think
of it. Seven runs and not on errors of
Dallas either. No man can say he "got on
to" Whitaker's balls, for he pitched a bril-
liant game. In this mascott eighth inning
he gave them bails with an out-curve, and
they would hit an in-eurve, and the
same result; an out-curve with
an up-shoot, an in-curve with an
up shoot, an cut-curve
with
drop, an in-curve with a drop—no matter,
they hit them and hit them hard; making
two and three baggers. The umpire was
fair, square and just. He didn't make an
error, and it is with pleasure the statement
This is the way the game was
i is made.

Et-r.t3i of 7Irs. Margaret Nichol3.
Another of Galveston's oldest and mo:-,t
estimable citizens has passed away in the
diath of Mrs. Margaret Nichols, the widow
of General K. B. Nichols, whose death oc-
currcd at the family ' residence, on Broad-
way and Twenty-fourth streets, at 10.30
o'clock Monday ifight, the first announce
incut of the sad tidings being made yester-
day morning. The deceased was a Miss
Margaret Claytor Stone, and was born in
I.eddstown, Westmoreland county, Va.. on
Monday, July £3, 1821, on the same day of
the week on which she died, in the 67th year
of her age. In the early days the deceased
came to Texas with the family of Judge
Peter W. Gray, to whom she ivas related,
matinee to-morrow afternoon commencing
at 5 p. m. in addition to the regular pro
;ine. All children under 12 years or
fill be admitted free to the lawn upon
amily of Ju<
ic.v. ... she was rclatuu,
and located at Houston, where, on the 7th
of August, 184'J, she was married to Gen-
eral E. B. Nichols, then a resident of Hous-
ton. In those early days the
choice of a denominational min-
ister to perform matrimonial rites
was circumscribed by circumstances,
and about the only minister residing ill
Houston at the time of Mrs. Nichols mar-
riage was the Rev. Mr. Huckins, a Baptist
minister, who waived the question of de-
nominational orthodoxy and married Miss
Stone and General Nichols according to the
ritual of the Episcopal church,
of which the deceased was from
her childhood a devout member.
General and Mrs. Nichols moved to Galves-
ton in 1851 and soon afterwards • General
Nichols built what is k nown as the Nichols
residence on Broadway,which is still a pre-
tentious structure, despited the advances in
modern architecture, but which at the time
of its construction bore about the same
relation to other residences iu Galveston
that the present stone mansion of Colonel
Gresham bears to the humblest cottage.
It was regarded as a wonderful
building, and for years was the center of
social attraction. General Nichols was a
lavish entertainer, and before the war and
immediately after it the Nichols residence
was the scene of the leading social events
occurring in Galveston, The death of the
husband in 1873 threw a pall over the once
gay social resort. While his- surviving
willow was eyer hospitable, the .pomptuous
side of life and social gaiety had no charms
for her without her husband to share its
enjoyment, and from this time on she de-
voted herself more to the domestic require-
ments of life and to works of charity and
good deeds, living as it were to do good
where most needed, and devoting herself to
her family with a self-sacrificing devotion,
for which she was known far beyond
the confines of her family circle.
Of her immediate family she leaves seven
sons: Captain Wm. II. Nichols, who is at
present assistant doorkeeper of the bouse of
representatives at Washington, F. Nichols
Stuart, E. K. Nichols, P. Gray Nichols,
Fred McC. Nichols, tax assessor tor Galves-
ton county, Thos. P. Nichols and Geo. B.
Nichols. She is also the aunt of Mrs. J. S.
Brown of this city, the grandmother of
Mrs. Marshall, nee Miss Margaret Nichols,
daughter of Wm. H. Nichols, residing at
Lampasas, and a cousin of Mrs. Henry
Sampson, also a resident of this city. Though
but 07 years of age the deceasi d was at t he
head of three generations, being a great-
grandmother at the time of her death. Up
to two years ago Mrs. Nichols was in the
enjoyment of good health, at which time
she became troubled with heart
complaint, which was primarily
the cause of her death. Four ot her sons
were at her death-bed and ministered to the
last wants of a loving, devoted mother. Her
deat h struggle .was a hard one, but she died
in full consciousness of her surroundings,
aud for some little time before her death she
seamed lu fully realise that her end was «ip-
proaching. The deceased was a woman of
unbounded charity, and it is said of her
that she never turned from her door
empty-handed a suppliant for aid. The
funeral will take place from Trinity church
at 10 o'clock this morning, and
while in consonance with her
own request, the obsequies will be
conducted as privately as possible, intimate
friends are invited to attend, and these iu
Galveston number legion, for none knew
the deceased save to love her and admire
her many christian traits of character. The
pall-bearers selected for the funeral are J.
M. Brown, R. S. Willis, R. B. Hawley, Geo.
Sealy, J. G. Goldtliwaite, James Sorley, M.
C. McLemore, Win. Johnson, Albert Ball,
Peter Sampson, C. Ennis and Charles Fow-
ler, Sr. Mrs. Marshall of Lampasas is ex-
pected to arrive in time for the funeral.

An Organized Gang:.
Detective Cahill has ferreted out a regu-
larly organized gang of young hoodlums
who have been depredating for the past sev-
eral months upon flower gardens through-
out the city, stealing pot plants and choice
flowei'sj door mats, caged bijds aud in fact
any other portable articTo that tliey could
get their hands on, and then engaging in a
regular traffic of disposing of them to other
people for a consideration. Five out of
seven of the band of juvenile thieves have
been arrested and committed in default of
bail bonds, aggregating about $150 each, on
charges of burglary anil theft. One of the
gang while arraigned before Judge Spann
made a confession, and he divulged the plan
of operation. From this confession it seems
that seven young boys, five colored and two
white, ranging in ages from 9 to 15 years,
have banded together for the purpose of
thieving, with a regular set of officers. Of
this organization Wm. Brooks, colored, 15
years of age, is captain; Alphonse Coleman,
colored, 15 years old, lieutenant; Henry
Dirolf, white, 13 years of age, secretary; and
Geo. Douglas, colored, 10 years old; Chas.
Armstrong, colored, 9 years old; Ernst
Kelly, white, 15 years old, and Ed. Brown,
colored, 1,1 years old, members. All except
Brooks and Brown have been arrested.
Their plan of operation has been to enter
premises by night and steal whatever they
got their hands on, without resorting to
housebreaking. Some do the stealing
while others keep watch. The secretary
keeps a regular account of the disposition of
the boot}' and the proceeds are divided up
among the gang, the party running tlip
greatest risk getting the largest pro rata in
the general divide, the officers next in pro-
portion. A large number of flower garclens
have been robbed during the past several
months and it is likely that really all of
these robberies can be laid to the door of

That Tired Feeling
The warm weather has a debilitating effect,
especially upon those who are within doors
most of tho time. Tlio peculiar, yet common,
complaint known as "that tired feeling,"
is tho result. This feeling can bo entirely
overconio by taking Hood's Sarsaparllla,
which gives new life and strength to all
tho functions of the body. \
" I could not sleep; had no appetite. I
took Hood's Sarsaparilla and soon began to
sleep soundly; could get up without that
tired and languid feeHng; and my appetlto
Improved." K. A. Saniokd, Kent, Ohio.
Strengthen the System
Hood's Sarsaparilla is characterized by
three peculiarities : 1st, the combination of
remedial agents; 2d, the proportion; 3d, tha
process of securing tho active medicinal
qualities. The result is a medicine ot unusual
strength, effecting cures hitherto unknown.
Send for book containing additional evidence.
" Hood's Sarsaparilla tones up my system,
puriliea my blood, sharpens my appetite, ana
seems to make mc over." J. r. TaoJirsoN,
Register of Deeds, Lowell, Mass.
"Hood's Sarsaparilln beat: all others, and
Is worth Its weight In gold." I. BAaKiNOiOir,

An Eminent Physician Reads a Paper of Great
Interest Before the International
Medical Congress.
At the Ninth International Medical congress
Dr. Ij. A. Toboldt, of the Univertity of Penrw
svlvania, read a paper stating that nut of
thirty T!aees treated with Carlsbad Water ami
the Powdered Carlsbad Hprudel Saltforehronio
c onstipation, hypochondria, disease of the liver
and kidneys, jaundice, adiposis, diabetes.dropay
from valvular heart disejtKe,dyM>ep8ia,catarrhal
inflammation of the stomach, ulcer of the stom-
ach or spleen, children with marasmus, gout,,
rheumatism of the joints, gravel, etc., twenty-
six were entirely cured, three much improved,,
and one not treated loncc enough. Average-
t.me of treatment, four weeks. In all of theso-
cares r.o particular diet was prescribed. Tho
doctor Claims, in conclusion of his paper, that-
tike Carlsbad Mineral Water, as exported by tho
city of Carlsbad, being the natural product, i*
much to be preferred where the quantity of
water is no objection,' particularly in diseases of
t lie Stomach. Whenever the quantity of water '
e.fti jiot l>e taken (as when away from home) tho
Powder Carlsbad Sprudel Salt (genuine im-
ported) will answer. He states that tho
cifcct of the Water and Powder Sprudel Salt
is to l.o relied upon, independently
of any adjuncts of treatment, such as diet ana
exercise, whether taken hot or cold, claiming
even an advantage when taken cold, as it acta-
more decidedly purgative, and that he has given
cold the preference, only using the water hot
when no purgative action is desired. The doso
of the water employed was two tumbiorfuls bo-
fore breakfast and one or two during the day.
The dose of Salt is a teaepoonful three times &
day dissolved in water. Whenever a stronger
act ion is desired the Powder Sprndol Salt should
be used in conjunction with the water. Tho
genuine article is bottled under the supervision,
of the city of Carlsbad and has the seal of th*
city and the Signature of "Eisner &• Mendelsohns
Co.," sole agents for the United States, on tho
neck of every bottle. All others are worthless
imitations. The genuine is never sold in bulk.
