Bhe is the owner of the hotel, although it is run in the name of her brother, F. D. Green, About five years ago, when there was some talk of tearing down the historic old Champion house, she urged her husband to buy it, being prompted by sentimental reasons, as the house was named after her grandfather, Gen. Champion. AVhen Ferdinand Ward bought the house he spent t/6,000 in refurnishing it and beautifying the grounds surrounding it The property was at that time placed in her name, and she will be enabled to keep it in her possession, unless it can be shown that her husband was insolvent at the time the premises were deeded to her. Ths creditors are making efforts to do so, but it is not belie veil that the ownership of the hotel will be taken firom Mrs. Ward.

Cleveland and Thomas A Hendeicks. There was great enthusiasm and good humor. Hon. Henry Watterson was the first speoker, and after giving an account of his stewardship at Chicago discussed the tariff plank of platform aad explained how the victory had l«en won In committee for the phrase, "A tariff for public purposes exclusively." He said that the course pursued by the more representative protectionists on the committee, notably Mr. Burke, of Louisiana; Senator McPherson, of New Jersey, an«l ox-Senator Davla, of WeSt Virginia. was _ frank and manly. Ev.'ti Mr. Converse, of Ohio, showed a cominsndalilu spirit of self-repression for the sake of united action. Tho result was that the i'.il;-C0'i]inittee of eight, which made the platform, excepting Gen. Butler, arrived at a ftnal derision which carried, not merely the judgment, but the hearty approval of each of the parties to it. The second sent-nce, denouncing the republican party for having failed to relieve the country of crusliing war taxes, was, he said, but another way of indorsing the Morrison Ml, which was simply a democratic measure "to reduce taxation to the lowest limit, consistent, with a due regard to the preservation of the falfh of the nation to Its creditors and pensioners." Is this not honestly construed a tariff for revenue promisof Having thus demanded a reduction of the war tariff within the revenue standard, It proceeds to p escribe the mode and manner of the proposed transition from a protection system to a revenue system. This furnishes a complete refutation to the Republican charge that "a tariff for revenue only" mean a violent and reactionary revision of the tariff, which no revenue reformer ever meditated or proposed. The transition even from a bad system to a good system should be made with'proper deliberation and laid in "a spirit or fairness to all interests." The Republicans assert that the free trader*, ai they persist in calling us, mean to deitroy American industries. The Democratic platform denounces this with the couiitcr-issrrtiou of the purpose to "pro mote th. ir healthy growth" by the intro ducticn of free raw material and fewci commercial restrictions. The Republican? a rsign us with a design of reducing the American workman to the level of the pauper labor of Europe. The Democratic platform limits the reduction of duties to a pjint which will cover the increased cost of living created by the highei' wages paid in this country, which is * simple matter of detail and in nowise a polAt of principle or of doctrine. In fact, all through the platform and through the tariff plank the demand is far no more revenue than will support the government economically administered, anil having replied to the misrepresentations of the Republicans and specified the method and spirit whloh the Democracy will, if entrusted with power, apply to the revision of th D tariff the fundamental idea and faith of the party are embodied in the dear, explicit and ringing deolaration that all "Federal taxation shall be exclusively for public purposes, aad ritall not exceed the needs of the government economically administered." Thesae words taken in connection With the whole spirit and tenor of the platform ent rely sustain the position of the friends of r/venur reform. Speaking of Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Watterson said: "The governor of New York is a brave and honest magistrate. He is liberal and enlightened. He has sl'.ieJ himself with all that is clean and sober, upright and elevated in our public lifa He is a plain and solid citizen who has done his duty always and without any fuss or fUstian, and who has the strength and the nerve to handle the new broom whkji is to sweep the public service clean. He has in the person of Mr. Hendricks, joinod to Lim all that remains to use of the "old ticket," and finally he is a lucky man in a streak CTf good fortune My belief is that the ticket will be elected and for my own part I enter tlie canvass without one single reserve or regret."
