Wash- The first business of the body was to hear the announcement of the result of the tenth ballot, taking just before the adjournment on Wednesday. The result was generally known to the delegates in advance of the formal announcement, and It had been pretty accurately foretold in the newspaper's. Delegate Gillette, of Jacksonville, Ills., wanted to know how the information that was supposed to lie locked seem ely in the bosoms of the thirteen tellers had leaked out. ington had vetoed but two bills, Lincoln but one and Jefferson none. The government had changed from Democratic simplicity to a one man power, responsive only to the neeassilios of party and the influence of money. The vast resources of the government are practically used by the administration as a private fund to augment the power of the executive. Be desired to show the "almost unlimited discretionary power exercised by the executive to benefit his friends and destroy his enemiis." As an example he would refer to the raid of the attorney general on the Bell Telephone company. Prince Henry and his bride left the Charlottenburg depot by a special train for Erdmannsdorf, where they will spend the honeymoon. They received m«?ontinuous ovationfrom the people all along the route to the depot. All the ladies, including Mrs. Cleveland, were also presented by Mr. Childs with a handsome cup and saucer. A visit was then made to Independence hall, after which the party proceeded to Drexel's banking house, and wore introduced to the members of the firm.

The nearest parallel case in the Bible is the great siu and repentance of David. A reception was given Mrs. Cleveland at the Bellevue hotel, at which about a dozen Philadelphians were presented to her. Tellers Cogsball and Knight declared that it hadn't leaked. Teller Cogshall made an explanation that was greeted with derisive laughter. He said the room in which the tellers counted the ballots was 4'full of cracks," and there was a reporter at every crack. The tellers had gone so far in the way of precautionary measures as to look under the tables and benches for reporters, but somehow the^reporters had the result figured out before the tellers had arrived at it. TROTTING AT FLEETWOOD PARK. THE POLITICAL ARENA. New York, May 25.—A drizzling rain was falling when the trotting commenced at Fleetwood park yesterday. Track heavy.

The 2:31 race was postponed until Friday. After the preliminary trial before the high priest had taken place many of the members of the Jewish sanhedrim assembled in the council halL They knew Jesus was to be arrested, and hence were ready. Perhaps such members as Nicodemus and Joseph of Aramathea were absent. The sanhedrim had authority to try those charged with capital offenses, but could not execute the sentence of death. In this midnight trial of Jesus every rule of Jewish law seems to have been violated in the haste and eagerness to condemn him. A night trial was not legal. To tie bound as a malefactor before he was arraigned, to be beaten before a verdict was rendered, to be struck in open court while the trial was going on, were all in violation of every sense of right and justice. The irregular and illegal trial of him by night was suspended until daybreak so that they could then secure from Pilate the sentence of his death. In the time elapsing till daylight occurred the maltreatment by his lawless enemies and the denial by Peter. Mr. Stewart then referred to The Washington Post—a most devoted friend of the president—drawing a parallel between Napoleon crowning himself and "Grover Cleveland the First" nominating himself at St. Louis. Ho accused President Cleveland of dictating to his party. With one wave of his hand he paralyzed the house of representatives so that it could not utter the word "silver" when the senate sent in the Beck amendment on the bond purchasing bill. The growing power of this "man of destiny" had but to continue unresisted for another term of four Tears to so intrench Grover Cleveland in the White House that nothing but revolution could move him. Nine of the states had already shown their opposition to the vetc power by qualifying it so that a majority could pass a bill over the governor's voto. 11 was absurd to suppose that one man witt multifarious duties could more  examine legislation than tho majority of congress. He had no unkind feeling toward the president personally. He liad great respec! for his sagacity, ability and matchless will power.

Raleigh, N. C., May 25.—The Republican state convention resumed its session yesterday. It completed the state ticket, which stands as follows: Three more fruitless ballots were taken. Tho result of the fourteenth ballot was a foregone conclusion in the minds of all who visited the lobbies while it was in progress, and the formal announcement of Dr. Newman's eD«tion was merely the signal for the release of a round of applause that had been under long and impatient restraint.

The bridegroom, Prince Henry, the Navigator, as the Germans love to style him, was born Aug. 14, 1803. He is the sailor prince of the Hohenzollern family, and is extremely popular. He is a commander of the navy, major a la suite of the First regiment of the gardes, and is looked upon as the future admiral of the German fleet.

Despite this upwards of 5,000 people congregated in and about the foundation of the university, and with uplifted umbrellas stood for two hours in the rain while the ceremonies progressed. Cardinal Gibbons occupied the throne of honor, with President Cleveland on his left Several members of the cabinetfoccupied seats to the president's left About the cardinal were seated Archbishops John J.

When the excitement succeeding the election of Dr. Newman had subsided another ballot was taken, in which Dr. Goodsell led with ii37 votes, not a sufficient number, howaver, to elect. One more ballot brought the and, Dr. Goodsell receiving 313 votes. He was duly declared a bishop elect, and tho announcement was greeted with a tremendous sheer. . .. The convention adopted a platform, which declares that the interest of the farmer and of labor are identical, and that there should be a suitable equation between tho wages of labor and the compensation of the office holder. It demands protection in the exercise of the elective franchise; pledges the party's support to agriculture, manufacturers and commerce, demands unconditional repeal of all internal revenue taxes; demands a reduction of the surplus to a sum just sufficient to meet actual demari&s of the government; demands the passage of the Blair bill as the best means of fostering public education and distributing the surplus.

After the sanhedrim had pronounced him "guilty of death" he was subjected to a series of indignities. Before the trial in the house of Annas he was struck by one of the officers. Doubtless others in authority offered him insults. The common guard soon followed in jeer and mockery. The abusive insults of the underlings was tho natural sequence of the more formal mockery of their superiors. Let it not surprise us if, as followers of Jesus, we too receive insults. The Rev. John P. Newman, D. D., who was elected a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church yesterday, was born in New York city sixty years ago. He was educated at Cazenovia seminary and commenced his ministry in central New York. Twenty-five years ago he came to New York city and acquired fame as a pulpit orator. The selection by Mr. Cleveland of the money kings and bond holding aristocracy of Europe and America as his allies, Mr. Stewart said, proved his sagacity and showed his appreciation of the necessity for the use of money in accomplishing his Napoleonic schemes. If such associations did not arouse the people to action before it was too late it would be because the boldness and daring of this "man of destiny" dazzled and blended them.

In the course of his five years' residence in the south he also founded the New Orleans university, the Orphans' Home and University at Bayou Tesche, and three annual conferences in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, llis popularity in the south was shown in the balloting for bishops by the fact that he received the votes of all the colored delegates axcept Assistant Secretary Crogman.

Cardinal Gibbons called the bedraggled crowd to order in a few words, in which he returned thanks to God for the bright prospects with which the university was started.
