Cincinnati, May 31.—Decoration day was observed appropriately by the Grand Army of the Republic _posts, Ladies' Relief corps and othor patriotic organizations, by ceremonies at ' Spring Grove cemetery. The procession formed on Garfield place, and was composed of throe divisions, headed by the First regiment band and a platoon of police, under command of Capt. Hadley. The exercises at the cemetery were somewhat different from those in vogue for years past. Instead at orations by distinguished speakers from home and abroad, three poems were recited by as many local elocutionists. Indianapolis, May 31.—When the venerable Neal Dow, arm in arm with John P. St. John, stepped upon the platform of Tomlinson's hall yesterday a mighty shout went up from 4,000 throats. It was the opaning gun of the national Prohibition campaign of 1888. Very beautiful looked the hall in its lavish adornment of bright red and bluo bunting and its abundant display of the Stars and Stripes. Over the chair swung a banner with the inscription: "No sectionalism in politics; no sex in citizenship," while at the other end of the hall, looking down upon the audience, was the declaration in letters four feet high: "In God we trust" Along the west gallery was a canvas with the inscription, "A half million votes for the Prohibition party in 1888 means only two parties in 1893, no matter by wGat names, divided on this issue—the home vs. the saloon." Opposite this was another device reading: "High Mcense makes the liquor seller a collector of revenue. Poor women and children starve and freeze that the rich may elude the taxation. Oh, the iniquity of it!" Other inscriptions along the walls and balcony railing read: "The Prohibition party is the true 'Anti Poverty society';" "Highlicense is the devil's bulwark for the liquor traffic; the greater the revenue the stronger the bulwark;" "Prohibition will obliterate tbe sectional and color lino in politics;" "Local option creates local selfishness, paralyzes patriotism and entrenches the liquor traffic in its stronghold." Washington, May 81.—The home of Gen. Sheridan presents a different appearance from what it has for forty-eight hours past. After midnight the light in the "general's room began to bo bright and dark at frequent intervals. New York, May 81.—Decoration day dawned wi:h. threatening and lowering skies, through whiohlhe sun tried hard to break at intervals all tlje morning. The atmosphere was humid and the heat almost uubearable. More Interest than ever was manifested, (toduess was nearly wholly suspended, and the streets were thronged with people. The immediate violnlty of Madison and Union squares was Impassable, so great was the erush of sight seers. Madison square, where the reviewing stand of the Grand Army of the Republio was ereoted, and at point President Cleveland reviewed tbe parade, was the great center of attraction. In Union square the statues of Lincoln, the martyred president, the Immortal Lafnyette and Gen. Washington, the father of his country, were ail handsomely decorated witn evergreens and flowers of all descriptions. Bishop Paret, in his annual address, said he thought there were too many chapels, and that tho work of a parish shoyld be confined to a central church. During the year he confirmed 1,991 persons.

The graves of the Union soldier dead in the cemeteries in and arouud the city were decoraled by the Grand Army of the Republic posts. The principal ceremonies were at London park, where the national cemetery Is located. The programme included music, pryer, addresses, decoration of the cenotaph to the unknown dead, and a tribute to the late Gen. John A. Logan. Twenty-five members of the Logan Invincibies (political club) went to Washington and decorated Gen. Logan's grave. "The Past has the most respectable and the most reliable authority for the statement that two or more candidates for the presidential nomination at the Chicago convention put their heads together some time ago, and contrive a plan to get Mr. Blaine out of the race. The l'osult of this contrivance was that when Mr. Blaine reached Paris he found several letters awaiting him, and not the least important were letters from these presidential conspirators, as thoy have been termed, to the knowledge of The Post. The writer of one of these letters was Senator John Sherman. The name of the eminent gentleman who wrote the other will probably be made known later, and before it is much later. The two letters—it is not certain at present that there were more than two—dealt with the same subject and were similar in tone. Robert M. O'Reilly. "Washington Matthews, IIeney C. Yarrow.

He wore a broad topped, somewhat ruified silk hat He immediately took up his position In the center alcove of the stand, and after a glance at the distinguished assemblage on the stand turned to review the parade. The president was accompanied by Secretaries Fairchild, Gndioott and Whitney, Mr. Lament and several other prominout personages. As the famous Washington Grays, of Richmond, passed the president uncovered hie head and smiled proudly, but the most prouounced manifestation of pleasure evinced by the president was produced when Gilmore's famous band jjftasod, leading the Twenty second regiment, playing "Way Down South in Dixie" The occupants of the stand applauded Gilmore find he raised his helmet several times.

Standing room in the hall was at a premium long before the convention was called to order. Sam Small, the Georgia evangelist, received a hearty welcome when he appeared, and so did Mother Stewart, the Ohio sexagenarian, and Frances Willard, who came in with an armful of suffrage documents. There was one face that was missed —that of John B. Finch, the celebrated campaign orator, and the circumstances of his sudden taking off were vividly called to mind by the presence of the widow and her 10-year-old boy in the front seat of the Nebraska delegation. Nearly half of the delegates were gray haired, and there were many whose faces called back recollections of the Pittsburg convention of 1884, and those of the previous years in Cleveland. Recorder General Murphy, of the Loyal Legion, had the pleasure of presenting the flowers. The letter expressed the affection and best wishes of the legion, saying that, as he M as a conquerer twenty-six years ago, so he must try to win now in the struggle for health.

Both expressed the utmost confidence that Mr. Blaine meant every syllable of what he said in his Florence letter, but pointed out that the misinterpretation of that letter by some of Mr. Blaine's friends (whose friendship was too ardent for political discretion) was embarrassing everybody, demoralizing party organization and threatening the utter disintegration and hopeless defeat of the Republican party. Both letters appealed to Mr. Blaine to do something at once to relieve the party of this embarrassment.

Both writers swore by all that was political that they would stick to Mr. Blaine while there was a button on his coat, and that they never would have entered the field as candidates themselves if they hod not had the assurance of his Florenco letter that he was entirely out of the race. Both urged Mr. Blaine to take such action immediately as would make impossible for a few injudicious friends here to put him in a false position before the country, and deprive the party of that reasonable certainty of its ground which is necessary to success in the preparation for a great political campaign. Finally, at 10:80, Chairman Dickie, of the national committee, succeeded, by a vigorous use of the gavel, in suppressing tho enthusiasm. Only for a moment, a stentorian voice in the audience demanded to know what was the matter with Bam Smnli. The delegates responded with a mighty shout: *'lie's all right;" and after thoy had similarly complimented Geerge Bain Tanner, of Kansas City, Rev.

Once more tho convention rose to its feet, this time to join in singing "America," which was done with heartiness and fervor. After prayer by Ham Small, Mr. Dickie called attention to the fact that in the providence of God every one of the nominees upon the National Prohibition tickets for the past eight years had been spared to this day, while of the Republican and Democratic nominees, for the same period, only four survived. He suggested that in grateful recognition of this fact the convention should sing "Praise God from Whom All Blessing Flow," and it was done. An address of welcome was delivered by CoL Eli Ritter, of Indianapolis, to which Mr. Delano responded. The roll of states was called for membership of various committees, and a recess was taken.

Boston, May 81.—About 4,000 people witnessed the three-mile race between Teemer and Gaudaur yesterday afternoon at the Point of Pines. There was considerable swell on at the advertised time of starting, but at 5 o'clock the water had calmed, and at 5:00 a start was made. Both took the water at the same time, Teemer rowing 38 strokes per minute, Gaudaur 82. Teemer gained one length an eighth of a mile away and gradually increased it to the first turn, which he made at 5:10, a half minute ahead of Gaudaur. The return to the starting point was made in minutes, both turning together. The third stake was turned by Teomer in 5:18, Gaudaur 5:18D£. Teemer finished at 5:22 and Gaudaur 2]D£ lengths behind.
