Englishmen will watch Mr. Cleveland's campaign with cordial sympathy.. His partv platform wisely condemned the arrogant and irritating foreign policy of its opponents.

The breach between the warring factions will probably extend to tbe presidential contest, end will tell seriously against Mr. Cleveland's prospects, m it ie quit* possible that in the present temper of tae Hill faction they will refuse to support Mr. CleveUmd, and eo secure the triumph of Mr. Harrison. Perhaps the most remarkable event of tbe convention was tbe complete overthrow of tbe protection element. The outlook certainly favors tbe election of Mr. Harrison. Tbe Mtandard sajs: It matters little to Englishmen which party is victorious. The geiieral outlines ot American policy are too firmly fixed for .either party to deviate materially

irom them

Tbe Times says: Mr. Cleveland had an easier victory than Mr. Harrison. It ia probable that the Democrats hostile to Mr. Clereland on personal grounds will fall into line and support him in November. At the same time it is impossible to deny that there are many elements of uncertainty in tbe situation. It ta difficult to nredtet, but we are inclined to think that Mr. Harrison's chances are slieh.iy batter and Mr. Cleveland's slightly worse than

The National Zeitung to-night will say: ‘ Mr. Cleveland's strength Ties not only in his official record, but his nomination, especially alter he becomes reconciled with Henator Hill, will evoke a full Democratic vote.” home ftenatorlal Opinions. Wabhikotok, June 24.—A number of United Btates benators have been interviewed on the work of the Democratic convention. Briefly summarized, their views were as follow: Henator Hherman, of Ohio: I regard the nomination of Cleveland an the natural, logical result of the condition of things. The resolutions on tbe silver question are substantially similar to thoeo of the Republican platform. Henator Stewart (Rep.), of Nevada, regretted that the Democratic party fas he would in the course of auy other party) had nominated a i;n*n who had expressed go strong a conviction in favor ot (he gold standard. •*J do not wiah to criticise Mr. Cleveland’s position at present," said the Senator, “because he may have changed, and until he has an opportunity to make known his views when he accepts the Democratic nomination." The Senator declined to say anything lor publication concerning the stiver piankln tbe Democratic platform an bo intend*to make a speech In the Henate in a few days when he will probably discuss it. Mr. Hartine (Hep.), oT Nevada, thought that the ex-Prcsidcnt was the wea-est candidate the Democrats could have- nominated. The sliver plank in tbe Democratic platform was less satUiactory than that in the Republican platform. henator Davis (R,ep.), of Minnesota: I think they have nominated a candidate easy for the Republicans to beat, and fixed up the best p.atiorm to do it upon. Henator Shoup (Hep.), of Idaho: Iwm willing to venture the oninton that all of the new States and the Pacific Coabt will cast their electoral votes ior President Benjamin Harrison. Henator Hansbrough (Rep.), of North Dakota: The result at Chicago Is the outcome ot the united efforts of the money power of Wall street.

Courier-Journal (Dem.): With

the utmost oouraee and frankness we have, from tb<* stand-point of political stiategv, stated tbe objections to thia nomination. We tMued to have the party hear and consider thM* objection*, that it might notact uuadvisedly or hastily, or proceed ia this important work in the spirit of anger or irritation. Cleveland must have the unwavering, the earnMt, confident, compelling co-opera-tion of every man. whether ho calls himself Democrat or Republican, who holds the

triumph of American prim

iumph of American principles dearer than

party aneotas.

Hi. Louie Republic (Dem.): Mr. Hill could net have united th* Democratic party, and hie nomination would have been followed by disorganitation. In Mr. Cleveland the Democratic party hM a fender in whom all Demostate can trust; whom all Americans ia all pert tea oan trust; tor whether they agree with him or not, he is a sincere, candid, honest. manly American-a maa of tbe people, toll of sympathy for th* mass**, with a gen

Franklin Republican t With Gen. Beniamin Harrioon pitted against Grover Cleveland, there is little, if uny, doubt m to the outcome. Harrison detested the "Man of Destiny" once, and broke the "Stuffed Prophet's” spoil. Cleveland Is now a soft mark. Harri-

son is invincible in maa.

Peru Kentiuil (Dim.): 1%* nomination of Grover Cleveland by the convention at Chicago is greeted with joy and thanksgiving by the laboring men throughout the entire country. Hie nomination means that the issues will be strictly defined between capital and labor, and that the masses will be pitted against the classes. It means the abandonment of all minor tenets to the one great and overshadowing question ot tariff reform. Lafayette Call (Rep.): The nomination of Mr. Cleveland can hardly be said to bq due to a rising tide of popular afiection and approval. Rather might it be said to be a despairing, reluctant admission on the part of most of the Democratic leaders, that there was nobody elM whom they could

nominate.

Crawfordavill* Journal (Rep.): For the first time in the history of the country we are to haves square, out-and-out contest between free trade and protection. Cleveland is the embodiment of English tree tradeism. and tbe resolution substituted in tb* platform tor the j one reported by th* committee, is a pointed and unequivocal declaration in favor of t he British system of raising revenue from a tariff system that derives revenue from a tariff on • non-competing articles, and putt all home

products on the tree-list.

Lawreaceburg Register (Dem.): They make no mistake in the selection of Mr. Cleveland. He is a man of the highest ability and integ-

rity. and bas the full confidence of the busts neas men ot the country, with a sound and prudent judgment that has led him through ; the great ordeai of the candidacy for the pres- . idency without rnakiug any mistakes.

Cincinnati Enauirer (Dem.): The will of n national Demoointtc convention is sovereign as to its party. Questions of prouriety and availability may enter more or lees friendly into Us dteeuseione. but they can not enter into th* earnpaiga- In ttto latter there is but ; one issue, but one effect—to elect the ticket which those whom the party delegated for thnt purpose have seen fit to nominate.

Latayette Courier (Rep.): Mr. Cleveland's nomination is remarkable in the respect that U wm accomplished in opposition to the unanimous protest ot the delegation from his j own State, and even when it was apparent to the most obtuso that he would receive a twothirds majority on the first ballot, the New York delegation voted solidly against himWe do not pretend to say that Mr. Cleveland Is a particularly weak candidate, but it to obvious that he to by so means a strong candidate. _ The people of an aggressively courageous man.

If yom should ask tb* cause of this remarkable devotioa of tbe people to a leader, there coaid bo but oae reply: It to hte superb courage, ability aad integrity—clearly this aad nothing mote. Tipton Times fDem.): He filled tbe presidential office for four years with great credit to himself aad tbe whole people, aad the Times to fraafr ia saying that a grander maa, a purer patriot or a asore con^ciention* aad honest statesman never occapied tbe presidential chair. Evansville Standard: A free-trader can not be elected President of the United State*. This statement requires ao affidavit.

There to hot one thing more desirable than tbe humiliation of Tammany, and that to ita extinction. Views On tbe Ptarfomm. Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.): Tbe Democratic party threw away ite only chance of eocceas by entirely abandoning tbe idea of protection to American labor, aad pronouncing squarely in favor of a tariff lor revenue only. It to now a clear-cnt fight between the tariff and free trade. Toledo Blade (Rep.): It* opening sentences contain a troth, ta a setting of Democratic falsehood. It to true that taxation to only necessary to raise the money tor Government expenses: it m aot true that this is exelasively Democratic doctrine. It to common sense, and just m much Reanbiican m it to Democratic doctrine. New Yorx World (Dem.): The Chicago platform, as adopted, to soaad and able, bat too lone. The attempt to go back eight years for tariff doctrine, with tbe McKinley tariff square before us a* tne issue, wm aa incomprehensible blander. Fortunately the sentiment of tbe convention, representing the aggressive and determined Democratic sentiment of tbe country, as show in the elections of 1X90 and 1W1, was against tha attempted straddle. Philadelphia Frees (Rep.): The free-trade i attitude of the party to accentuated and ‘ illustrated by the clanse wbich it struck out of tbe original tariff plank. The issue can not be evaded, obscured, or misrepresented. It to Harrison and Protection va. Cleveland and Free Trade. New York Tribune (Rep.): The Democratic platform to not an bonqst one. At the very outset it sbameinlly misrepresents the election bill. It was to be expected that the Demoarm tic platform would try to dodge tbe tariff issue. It denounces tbe McKinley tariff with such particularity of falsehood that there will be no difficulty daring tbe coming campaign in proving that tbe Democratic national convention acted in this respect for the importer* ot foreign good*, and not for the consumers of sitier goods ot American manufacture. Philadelphia Times iDem.): Tbecandidatee will be a better expression of party purposes than the platforms upon either side. Philadelphia Record tDera.): The platform adopted at Chicago to diffuse to tbe point of weariness, but it bM the great merit of clearness in its dealing with actual issues. Huntington Herald (Rep.): Friends of tb* late Governor Hendricks in Indiana, rembering the indignities and humiliation to which tbe great leader of the Indiana Democracy was subjected at the bands ot Grover Cleveland. find nothing to inspire entbusiMm in tbe Chicago nominee. Michigan Dispatch (Dem.): The nomination of Grover Cleveland to lead the Democratic hosts tor the third time was the logical outcome of hn almost universal demand he the great bulk of the party. Mr. Cleveland gave to the eonntry the great issue of tariff reiorm for ite battle cry, and it is eminently proper that he, as tbe apostle of the leading usne, should be the standard-bearer. New Albany Ledger (Dem.): Tbe sentiment of the people (public opinion) forced Cleveland’s nomination. If tns sentiment can be held up until election day. It will insure success. The country over, Cleveland to the choice of the mazses. Not since Jackson has mere been a Democrat who so fired the common heart. • 9 There is a certain power, a mystery of grandeur in the character of Cleveland that catches the populace, fires their hearts, leads to shouts and ghost dances and other manifestations of delight. Logansport Journal (Jtep.): Grover Cleveland was nominated by instinct rather than by reason. The Democrats who had tasted of the public teat returned blindly to the grantor. A stronger nomination politically could easily have been made, but a more satis actory one to tno Republicans was impossible. Anderson Bulletin (Ind.): The best counsels of the Democratic party prevailed in this nomination. as there is little doubt but Mr. Cleveland to the strongest and most available candidate the Democratic party could present to the people. The campaign will no doubt bo fought out between him and President Harrison on different lines than that of four years ago. It is believed the canvass will be made on the tariff issue between the two great parties. and individual personalities left out of arguments.

How to Make a Delicious Fare*—Best When Fresh. (New York Tribune.I Green pease will soon be ripe in country gardens in this latitude, and are already furnished in abundance in our city markets. Green pease are usually served iu but one way, that u boiled, and a great many people do not know that there is any other way to serve them. Yet they make a most delioiom puree soup, and are excellent served in cream. * . To make the soup, take { a pint of green pease, add a quart of white stock, a small onion, two sprays of parsley and one of celery, a teaspoonful of salt, and a half teaspoonful of pepper. Let the soup cook lor half an hour, simmering slowly. At the end of this time, try one of the peas and if it is thoroughly done strain the soup through a puree sieve, rubbing the pease through. Let the soup boil again for ten minutes, stirring it often. Then add a cup of boiling cream and salt and pepper to the taste. Stir a teaspoonful ot butter in the soup, just before serving it. Boiled pease are very often served in French kitchens in a cream sauce, made with half a cup of cream thickened with a teaspoonful of butter and a scant teaspooufulj of flour. Still another ia to beat au egg-yelk into two tablespoonfuls of sweet entom, and add to the boiled pease after they have been drained. Three tablespoonfuib of boiled pease is a delicious addition to filmnst any kind of soap in which vegetables are used, and when any boiled pease are left over they should be saved to add to the next day’s soup. No vegeiable loses moffe sweetness when stale than pease. To be served to perfectiou they should be pie* „>d in the dew of tbe morning and cooked the same day. They should never be shelled until just before the time of cooking. They should, after picking, be kept in a cool, dark place until ready for shelling. If there is any delay in cooking them after they are shelled, cover them with a damp doth. a turtle caught hih tor

How Johnnie Travis Nearly

Life While Bathing. (Philadelphia Inquirer.)

A large snapping turtle nearly caused a boy’s death in Schofield’s dam. West Manaynuk, Tuesday. John Travis, aged fourteen years, and several other eotnpanions were enjoriug a bath, when it was proposed to race to the upper end of the dam. Travis started in tbe lead, and was distancing his companions when he wm suddenly heard to shout, “Hurry up, boys; something’s got hold of my foot” Before his companions could reach him he sank. He soon rose to the surface again, however, and was grasped by his friends, who towed

him to the shore.

It was found that a fifteen-pound snapping turtle had caught him by the great toe of his right foot and retained its hold even when drawn from the water. Several quarrymen who were working near-by were bummoned, and after great difficulty they succeeded iu prying the turtle’s jaws open. The to* wm badly lacerated. The boys

took their prize to Mana;

a saloon-keeper.
