As a result a large number of bills were passed. In the senate, on the 21st, continued consideration of the anti- option bill occupied tho entire soe3ion, at the closs of which the bill was stiii "unfinished business.”.In the house another day was given np to tho wholesale passage of bills, and a resolution was passed authorizing the officers and creWof the steamship Baltimore to accept medals from the king of Sweden.

In the senate, on the 233, the anti-option bill occupied the day, diversified only by a brief financial discussion over a proposed legal tender amendment to an important bill rolating to judgments of United States courts.In the honse the senate amendments to the general deficiency bill occupied most of the time, the French spoliation claims being discussed for two hours, the house disagreeing to this item79 to 119. The Indian depredation claims, amounting to $479,232, as inserted by the seni ate, were agreed to by the close vote of 90 to 94. PERSONAL AND GENERAL.

FORMALLY NOTIFIED. The Demoeratio Candidates for President and Vice-President Formally Notified of the Action of the Democratic National Convention at a Monster Meeting: in Madison Square Garden. Ne% York, July 21.—The first decisive gun of the democratic campaign of 1S92 was touched off last night in Madison Square garden in the presence of a vast assemblage. The huge auditorium was packed from pit to dome, and as the place holds 10,OOP persons comfortably, it is estimated that almost twice that number were present. The occasion that brought this vast throng together was the notification ceremonies of the two great leaders of the democratic party—Giover Cleveland and Adlai E. Stevenson. * As early as 6 o’clock the crowd began gathering about the doors, and at 7:30 p. m., when they were finally opened, the streets about the garden were filled with a pushing, struggling, perspiriifg mob which flowed into the auditorium with the roaring sound of a cataract. Never had the garden held such a crowd, nor had more enthusiasm been displayed. The space room was economized to the utmost degree, the enthusiastic democrats standing, after the seats were filled, in lines so dense that breathing became a difficulty.

Grover Cleveland. The garden was profusely decorated with flags and hunting, the colors oi which wera brought into strong relie: by the brilliant light from 3,000 electric lamps. This, with the sea of b'obbing heads and upturned faces, presented t memorable scene and one never to be forgotten. Previous to the exercises Cappa’s band discoursed strains of sweet music to which the huge, perspiring crowd listened in a philosophical manner, al the same time endeavoring to keep coo by swinging fans and handkerchiefs. The platform was placed at the Fourth-avenue end of the building. Over it was an immense sounding rd. In the center of this were twe placed trans.wise anc nation11. "''’’^h^caBdescent lamp: over these, weivliSli^^ with the words “Clevelano-H The platform had a seating capaciT for 750 persons, but it had 1,000 on i1 before the central figures in one of the most brilliant tableaux New York ha; seen in many* months appeared. The crowrd was a patient one, despite the heat, relieving its feelings every few minutes by rounds of ap pfause as some familiar figure appeared on the platform. At first glance during these periods of enthusiasm one would imagine the whole audience was composed of vmen, but after the troubled sea had somewhat settled, the fair ses seemed to emerge from it in bewilder ing summer costumes, smiles and the inevitable fan.

Adlai E. Stereturn. Among the prominent persons wh( occupied boxes were: Wm. C. Whit ney, Chas. IJ. Jones, editor of the St Louis Republic; Gov. Flower, Freder iclc S. Coudert, W. Bourke Cochran, O B. Potter, Mayor Grant, Henry Villard E. Ellery Anderson. Lieut.-Gov. Shee han, Perry Belmont, Rnfus N. P Rhodes, of Alabama; Norman E. Mack of Buffalo; J. A. Creighton, of Ne braska; E. C. Wall, of Wisconsin; Doi M. Dickinson, of Michigan; Ben Cable Thomas Carson and D. P. Phelps, a Illinois; W. H. Collins, of Tennessee; ex-Gov. Campbell, R. R. Holden anc Calvin S. Brice, of Ohio; Senator Pasc< and Wm. Harrity, of Pennsylvania, an< a host of others. , ..<• Mrs. Cleveland and party entered i box about 8 o’clock, and this . gave thi crowd a chance to give vent to some oi their pent-up enthusiasm. Quiet had scarcely been restore; when a mighty cheer broke out, an; there was universal waving of hand and arms, hats, handkerchiefs and fans Then John M. Bowers, escorting Adla E,- Stevenson, appeared. Mr. Steven son gracefully acknowledged the plau dits with a bow. Gov. Flower and Gen Sickles were .the next arrivals, and the; were also vigorously cheered.— _ "fhe concert pitch of enthusiasm wa struck at 8:15 p. m , at which time th chief figure in this memorable meetin came upon the scene. Surrounded b a group of notable men the leader c the democracy and of tariff ref or i made his way to the front of the pla' form. The cheering and plaudits ths had gone before were as nothing con pared to the ovation tendered the ma who has so wound himself in the hear! of the people. Mr. Cleveland looked impressed wit the magnitude of the gathering, am the wondrous scene it presented as eac and every man and woman stood o their feet applauding in the most ei thusiastic manner. He bowed k thanks again and again, but the di and noise continued for many minutei and the secretary of the notifleatio committee, , Nicholas M. Bell, finall arose in despair and entreated th crowd to be silent. It was, however, fruitless task, and nothing was left bt to begin the exercises. Col. Wm. L. Wilson, of West Vi gipia, approached the rostrum an Or fcver Cleveland rose to listen to th ■ of notification. V

In notifying Mr. Cleveland of his I notainsitioD, Mr. Wilson sa’d: "We tiring yon to-night, a message from the democratic party. We come as a committee from its national convention, rep-esontiag every democratic ina->titueney in the nonntrv, to give you fjiEcts! ootid-ation that you have been chosen as its candid at- for the ofltes of president of the United States. We are also charged with the duty of presenting 5 on the platform of principles adopted by that convention. This platform contains a full and explicit declaration of the position of the natton al democratic party on the great political isttj s of the day; but in all Its utterances it is raere'v a development of one great principle. that whatever governments end laws can do for a people must be done for all the peop'e, without precedence of section or grades of citizenship. Mr. Wilson then spoke at length on the duty of the democratic party and the issues of the campaign. In consicn he said: And now sir, we pnt Into yonr hands, the comm'sion of which we are the bearers It is the bigbost hosier your party can bestow. It Is the gravest call to duty yonr f ellow- democrats can make. Eni we believe we can assure you that there are no “weak, weary or despondent democrats” in thotVanks of our party to-day. and that with the people's causa as our cause, wo deni t not you will lead us to a victory in which the principles of our party shall gloriously triumph, and the welfare of our country shall he mightily promoted. No one eotild hear this speech except those within thirty yards of the speaker. Order, however, was obtained for the first time during the evening. The cheering !\para broke out when, just as Col. W iftpn's voice was beginning to travel. tj*®gures of Mrs. Cleve-' land and her pfufly were seen leaving their bos. They were escorted to seats in the front balcony on the opposite side of the hall. There was almost a panic at this jtmctiire, many not understanding the reason of the excitement, in that section of the hall where Mrs. Cleveland was. People broke through the barriers, and for a moment matters looked stormy. The police, however, quickly quelled the excitement and til'd" speech of notification was finished without further interruption. Hon. Nicholas Bpll, national secretary, then read the letter of notification from the notification committee. The crowd, when the democratic stan-dard-bearer stepped forward to make response, lost control ef their enthusiasm. The din was deafening and longsustained. Finally Mr. Cleveland began to speak and the storm suddenly abated. He was listened to thereafter with much attention and plaudits only came when his utterances pleased his hearers. He said: Mb. Cn-usaAS amd Gentlemsm: The message you deliver from the national democracy arouses within me emotions which would be well-nigh overwhelming, if I did not recognize here assembled the representatives of a great party who must share with rne the responsibility your mission invites. I and much relief in the reflection that I have been selected moreiy io stand for tho principles and purposes ♦o which my party is pledged, and for tho enforcement and snpremeey of which, all who have any right to claim democratic fellowship, must constantly ana persistently labor. Onr party responsibility is indeed great. We assnme a momentous obligation to onr countrymen when, in return for their trust and confidence, we promise them a rectification of their wrongs and a better realizat-oa of the advantages. which are due to them under our free and beneficent institutions. kt^^Rnt if our responsibility is great, onr party is ^^■I^Jtis strongiu its sympathy with the stronj^^tgjte^nie, in its insistence upon the needs of tbepe®Pfcental powers strictly withexerciseof govern permission the people in the oonstitiitionS^^vilJingnoss to risk its have granted, and in ite^njga intelligent and life nnjl hope upon the people^j^^ patriotism. ^^Wmrithe proNevor has a great party. Intent motion of right and justice, had better m^^k tive for effort than is now presented to us/’ Turning our oyos to the plain people of the lend, we 3ee them burdened as consumers with a tariff system that unjustly and relentlessly demands from them In the purchase of the necessaries of life an amount scarcely met by the wages of hard and steady toil—while the exactions thus wrung from tlfem build up and in- , crease the fortunes of those for whoso benefit this injustice Is perpetuated. We see the farmer listening to a delusive story that fills hie mind with visions of advantage, while his cceket ia robbed by the stealthy hand of high protection. Our workingmen are still told the tale, oft repeated In spite of its demonstrated falsity, that the existing protective tariff is a boon to them, and that under its beneficent- operation their wages must in-crease-while as they listen, scenes are enacted in the yeiy abiding place of high protection, that destroy the hopes and attest the tender mercy the workingman reeeives from thqge made selfish and sordid by unjust governmental favoritism. We oppose earnestly and stubbornly tho theory upon which our opponents seek to justify and uphold existing tariff laws. We need not base our attack upon questions of constitutional permission or legislative power. We denounce this theory upon possible grounds when wo contend that in present conditions its operation is unjust and that laws enacted to accordance with it are inequitable and unfair. Ours is not a destructive party. We are not at enmity with the rights of any of our citizens. All are onr countrymen. We are not recklessly heedless of any American Interests, nor will we abandon oar 1 regard for them; but Invoking the love of falr- ' ness and justice which belongs to true Americanism, and upon which our constitution rests, we insist that no plan of tariff legislation shall bo tolerated, which has for its object and purpose a forced contribution from tho earnings and income of the mess of onr citizens to swell ■ directly the accumulation of the favored few; nor will we permit a protended solicitude for American labor, or any other pretext of benev1 olent care for othe£3 to blind the eyes of the people to the selfish laws „o gain unearned and i unreasonable advantages at the expense Of

I shall not attempt to specify at thie time other objects and aims of democratic endeavor which add inspiration to our mission. True to its history and,its creed, our party will respond to the wants of the people within safe lines and guided by enlightened statesmanship. To the troubled and impatient within our membership we coosraend continued unswerving allegiance to Ms* party whose principles ia

There was- one more burst of concluding applause as Grover Cleveland took his seat and then came the speech of notification, made by Stephen M. White, of California, to Adlai E. Stevenson. The voice of the California orator was powerful and every syllable was distinctly heard throughout the vast hall. Adlai E. Stevenson listened closely to the speech of Mr. White and to the official notification read to him by Mr. Bell. He then stepped to the extreme edge of the platform, and bowing to the thunderous applause which 'aigain* belched forth, made a short speech la a clear, ringing voice. At the conclusion of Mr. Steveqgon’s speech, Chairman Wilson, declared the meeting adjourned. While the crowd was dispgpsiffg, ^ Mrs. Cleveland came in for sgifie more honors, which showed her'great popularity. Several thousand persons gathered around where she was seated and cheered her repeatedly. She looked marvelously becoming in a'costume of gray, her face wreathed in smiles, for the honors paid her distinguished hasm band and herself. TIRING OF TROOPS.

Probable Crooked Work by an Agent an Broker at Nrenah, Wig. .1 Neenah, Wis., July 21. — Edjpunr Dodson, an insurance agent and broker of this city, has created a stir in insurance circles by his sudden disappearance from the city and his supposed trip to England. Monday his office clerk received a letter: from him dated New York, July 15, saying he had decided to spend his vacation in England, and would he hack about September 1. In his career of six years here he at times created some suspicion, hut had gained the good will of many of the business men,, and did a large bus mess. The fact that he has been collecting premiums for his companies and not re-. mitting them has now become evident. It is expected that the amount collected in this way and the debts he left will reach between $10,000 and $20,000. Among the insurance companies that are in this agency is the Mechanics, of Philadelphia. IRON MOUNTAIN COLLISION. A Passenger and Freight Train Come Together with Serious Results.
