A wettes of revival meetings was in progress, and the subject on one even­ ing was the book of liuth. Among the congregation was a brother whom the sisters delighted to hear.

And do yon know that I never turn to the book of Ruth without a thought coming to my mind that there it lies, like a beautiful jewel, between the ermine of the Judges and the pur­ ple of the Kings." Such an exquisite thought did not fail to have its effect upon his admiring hearers. Later in the evening an elderly clergyman came in, and, after listening to the remarks for some time, arose and said: "My friends, whenever I turn to the book of Ruth I am always reminded of that beautiful qnotation from Taylor, that it lies like a lovely jewel, between the ermine of the Judges and the purple of the Kings."

OnmoUon ot Chairman Barnam, Hon. XMUld B. Hubbard ot Texas, waa unanimously chosen Temporary Chairman. Gov. Hubbard delivered a twenty-minntee' speech apon laaamlnc the oh air. He referred to his election aa a compliment to the great State of Texas, which, with a popula­ tion ot 2,000,000, made up of men from Illinois and New York, from Maine and New England, from Georgia and along the coast, is, more than any other State, absolutely cosmopolitan In every fiber of Its being. He referred to the principles and policy of the Democratic party as being to-day essentially the same as when It was founded three-onarters of a oentury ago, and thanked Ood that, al­ though that party had been out of power for twenty-four years, it was, to-day, In all that makes adherenoe, confidence, and real, as much as ever a party organized for aggressive war and victory. He charged the party is power with bribery, perjury, and corruption, and with having stolen the Presidency eight years ago, and paid an elo­ quent tribute to the Democracy In that they ex­ hibited none of that spirit of Hotspnr, of the pirate, none of that spirit that had sought to in­ gulf this country, fresh as It was upon the heels of a great and fratricidal war. In conclusion, be hoped the "bloody shirt" would not be flaunted in the ensuing campaign, and deprecated any endeavor to stir up the bad blood ot the past. My countrymen (he said), the war is over for a quarter of a oentury, and they know it Why, our boys have married the young maidens of the North land, and children have been born since those days; and they will continue to go side by side to the altar, and to that bourne from whence no traveler returns. Why, the boys In the blue and the gray slept together nptifa a common field of glory £ Let their bones alone; they represent the best blood of the land. But, thank God, the ^ood men of all parties have united in the great common prom-ess of our race to forget the memories of the war times. I thank you, fellow-citizens, for your atten­ tion, and I trust that your forbearance will be extended to me to-day, ana what mistakes I shall make you will treat lightly and kindly. And, hoping that success may crown your ef­ forts, and that you may send a tickct to our country upon which all may nnlte is the wish of him whom you have honored with your suffrage this day. Alter the delivery of Gov. Hubbard's open­ ing speech and the completion of the tem­ porary organization, B. B. Smalley, of Vermont, a member of the National Committee, moved that the rules of former Democratic conven­ tions govern the present one, with the modifica­ tion that no State shall be allowed to change its vote until after the completion of the roll-call. To this Senator Thomas F. Grady, of New York, offered an amendment providing that the vote of individual delegates shall be the vote of the State in case ot challenges. G. V. Menzies, of Indiana, offered an amendment to Mr. Grady's amendment, to the effect that no change of vote be permitted until after the re­ sult of the ballot had been announced. This amendment was withdrawn at er an animated debate, mainly between John B. Fel­ lows and John Kelly, ot New York. Arguments on the question were made by Messrs. Grady, Faulkner, Jacobs, and Cochran, of New York; Judge Doollttle, of Wisconsin; O. W. Power, of Michigan; Carter H. Harrison, of Illinois; and Clune, of California. A vote was then taken on this attempt to break the unit rule, the reBult being 332 yeas and 468 nays. The Tote on the Grady amendment was as follows: Ayes Noes to the _ri •SS i in «m. 1 of aittsenshtb. this body and entitled to all the Chairman--It goes_ to the Committee on fteeolnttens under the rules.

A K. Delaney, ot Wisconsin, offered the fol­ lowing: Resolved. That a committee of one delegate from each State, to be selected by the delegation thereof, he appointed to aet as Committee on Permanent Organization; that the roll of States be called, and the Chaitman of each delegation announce the name of the delegate selected for Buch committee. The Chairman--It is the duty of the Commit­ tee on Credentials first to determine who are delegates, and then follow the Committees on Permanent Organization and on Platform. D. R. Francis, of Missouri, offered the follow­ ing resolution as a substitute for the resolution last offered and moved its adoption: Bexolved, That a Committee on Credentials and a Committee on Permanent Organization he how appointed, the Secretary calling the roll by States, and the Chairmen of the delegations an­ nouncing the members of those committees from their respective States. The Chairman--The Question tecurs on the resolution offered by Mr. Francis, of Missouri; those in favor ot this resolution will say aye. The resolution is adopted. A Delegate--I move that it would facilitate the business of the convention and save one roll- call for the roll to be called upon the resolutions at once. The Chairman--I was going to announce that when the roll is called the Chairmen of the dele­ gations will mention the committeemen on cre­ dentials and then the committeemen on perma­ nent organization next. Mr. Hay, of Pennsylvania--I ask that the roll- call be suspended, so that the resolution which I sent up may be read. The Chairman--The roll-call will be sus­ pended. The Secretary then read the resolution as fol­ lows: Resolved, That a committee of one delegate from each State, to be selected by the delega­ tion thereof, l>e appointed to report resolutions, and that all resolutions in relation to the { lat- form ot the Democratic party be referred to such committee without debate. The Chairman--That is offered as an amend­ ment. ThoKe in favor say aye. It is carried. As the resolution is now for the appointment of the three committees, the Cuairmen of the dif­ ferent delegations will announce the names and send up the list in writing to the Secretary's desk, the names first of the Committee on Cre­ dentials, tlien of the Committee on Permanent Organization. an1 lastly of the Committee on Platform and Resolutions. A Delegate--To expedite business I would also move at the same time the roll is called a dele­ gate from each State be named aa Vice Presi­ dent. The Chairman--That is the province of the Committee on Permanent Organization, and then it is for the convention to confirm their action. The Secretary then called the roll with the fol­ lowing result: COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS. Ala... .H. C. Thompson!Mifl8 JamesT. Fant Arkansas. .0. M. Taylor;Missouri. .Ed M. Harber California.. .M.

BO # 6.2s c«e 4..S @ 6.7S Second Sagr* The session was opened at 1130 a. a., with prayer by Bishop McLaren, nt tte Bptsoopal Church. Mr. .Tenkimi, of Wisconsin, submitted a com­ munication from the Committee on Resolutions, saying that they would not be ready to report until Thursday momtng, and asking leave to sit dnr ng the sessions of the convention held Wednesday. The request was granted. At this juncture a fiood of resolutions was turned loose upon the convention, many of them being In relation to tariff reform. Tilth two or three exceptions tbey were read and referred to the Committee on Resolutions without debate. Mr. Rubens, of Illinois, offered a resolution declaring the Democratic party unalterably op­ posed to all sumptuary laws, and determined to secure to citizens the greatest amount of ner- sonal liberty compatible with publio welfare, believing that every citisen should enjoy certain Inalienable rights in which he must be protect­ ed, even against the will of the majority. Mr. Power, of Michigan, ottered one declaring the action of the convention on Mr. Grady's amendatory resolution of the day previous ap- Sllcabte only to such States as instructed their elegates.. Mr. Banson Smith, of Utah, offered a resolu­ tion declaring polygamy a crime, and calling on Congress to legislate to extirpate it from the Territories, and to disfranchise those by whom it is enoouraged and sustained Carter Harrison, of Illinois, presented a reso­ lution granting tickets of admission to the members of the National Democratic Veteran Association, and the same was carried amid ap­ plause. The report ot the Committee on Credentials was presented, and, on motion of T. H. Frame, of Missouri, adopted. In the only contested case, that of the Twelfth Massachusetts Dis­ trict, it was reoommended that all four dele­ gates, Callan, MdLearned, Perry, and Bleloch, be admitted, with halt a vote each. The report recommended that the Territo.ial delegates be allowed to vote on all questions. Mr. Bandolph, of New Jersey, sought to have this disagreed to, but, after an appeal from Judge McArthur, of Oregon, the convention, by a decisive majority, sauelched Randolph's proposition. Mr. Schaffer offered a resolution arraigning the Republican party for unfulfilled promises touching civil-service reform, and pledging the Democratic party, if placed in power, to the adoption of a constitutional amendment pro­ viding for the election of postmasters Instead of their appointment. Mr. A. O, Bacon, of Georgia, presented a reso­ lution declaring that the interests of the party and the rights of minorities would be best con­ served by according to each delegate the right to have his vote recorded as he shall determine. Mr. Burns, of Pennsylvania, offered a resolu­ tion empowering the Chairman of the convention to call the latter together to fill the vacancy in the event of the death of the nominee for Presi­ dent or Vice-President. 8. N. Gallup, of New York, offered the follow­ ing resolution and moved its adoption: Resolved, That, believing in a democratic government grounded in equitable considera­ tion of, and regard for, the rights of the gov­ ern* d,protecting and guarding the homes of hon­ est toil as promptly and as zealously as the pal­ aces of the millionaire, the Democratic party pro­ nounces unqualifiedly In favor of such a reduc­ tion of the tariff as shall lessen the duty upon the articles which supply the wants of farmer, mechanic, artiBan, and laborer, feeding the masses before feeding the monopolists; placing the burden of the tariff upon luxuries and not upon articles necessary to existence. Referred to the Committee on Platform and Resolutions. James E. Boyd, of Nebraska, sent up an­ other in the following words: Resolved, That the Democratic party pledges itself to correct the inequalities of the t <riff, and to reduce the surplus, now amounting to over one hundred million dollars annually, not by the vicious process proposed by J aracs G. Blaine, by division among the btatcs, which should not receive a moment's serious consideration, but by a gradual reduction, limiting it to the wants of the Government economically adminis­ tered. Referred to the same committee. J. J. Fenlon, of Maryland, added one more in the shape of the following: "Resolved, By the Democratic National Convention, that the amel­ ioration of Ms condition of the labor element of this oountflrfe wbrthy of the noblest effort of the Democratic party, and, recognising that fact, we pledge ourselves to the repeal of all legisla­ tion which, under the administration of the Re­ publican party, has tended to pauperize labor, while, at the same time, creating a hierarchy 01 wealth dangerous to Republican institutions." Referred to the appropriate committee. Anti-Chinese resolutions were offered by Tur­ ner of Michigan, Archer of California, Porter of Oregon, and Carmody of Missouri. Mr. Miller, of Ohio, offered a resolution advo­ cating an amendment, to the Constitution ex­ tending tlie presidential term to six years. The Committee on Permanent Organization presented the name of Col W. F. VilaB, of Wis­ consin for President of the c nvention, and Frederick O. Prince, of Milssachusetts. for Sec­ retary. Col. Vilas was conducted to the chair by Thomas A. Hendricks and tive other gentle­ men, and introduced by Chairman Hubbard, after which he delivered a stirring address. In closing, he said: "Gentlemen, in the hard duties before me, I implore your generous forbearance. I stand in greater need ot your indulgent con­ sideration by comparison under which I must suffer with the brilliant services of the distin­ guished gentleman who has just tiuitted this chair with the well-deserved plaudits of this convention.

Gen. Hooker, of Mississippi, seconded the nomination in a five minutes speech. There was a great outburst of enthusiasm when ex-Gov. Thomas A. Hendricks took the platform to nominate Joseph E. McDonald, or Indiana. When the applause had subsided and Mr. Hendricks waa about to begin speak­ ing, a voice in the galliry cried, "Three cheers tor the old ticket." They were given with a wilL Mr. Hendricks then proceeded with his speeoh, the del very of which occupied about twenty minutes. The mention of McDonald's name was received with loud and long-continued applause. Gen. J. C. Black, of Illinois, seconded Mo- Donald's nomination, and was loudly applauded. John W. Breckenrldge, of California, made a brief speech in presenting the name of Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio, whose name was greeted with lond cheers and waving of hats. Gen. Durbin Ward, of Ohio, seconded the nomination. James A. McKenzie, of Kentucky, when his State was called, made a speech nominating John G. Carlisle. There was no secondary speech. When New York was reached, Daniel Man­ ning eatd the State presented the name of Grover Cleveland, and desired to be heard through Daniel Lockwood, of Buffalo. Mr. Lockwood then proceeded to eulogize New York's favorite son. Carter Harrison, of Illinois, seconded the nomination in a brief ad­ dress. Mr. Jones, of Minnesota, also spoke briefly in support of the claims of Cleveland. Senator Thomas W, Grady, of New York, spoke against the nomination of Cleveland, claiming that it was dangerous to nominate him, that he was a weak candidate, etc. During the deliv­ ery of this Tammany philippic against the favorite of New York great confusion pre­ vailed, and the Chair threatened several times to have the galleries cleared. One disturber was removed by the police. W. B. Cochran, of New York, on behalf of the anti-Cleveland element of that State, seconded the nomination of Thurman, creating profound sensation. . Mv. Apgar, of New York, replied to the re­ marks of Senator Grady, and claimed that Gov. Cleveland would carry his own State by a sweeping majority. The convention then adjourned till 10:30 a. m. Thursday. . "• r Third Day. ** The session was opened with fjrayer by Rev. Geo. C. Lorimer. The Committee on Resolu­ tions reported that they had as yet been npable to agree, and asked until 7 o'clock p. m., which was granted. After the disposal of preliminary business, the pending order, nomination of candidates, was proceeded with. Ex- Senator William A. Wallace came forward and nominated S muel J. Randall, of Pennsylvania, the nomination being seconded by Gov. Abbett, of New Jersey. Gov. George Hoadly of Ohio, was nominated l»y Thomas E. Powell, ot Ohio. Speeches seconding the previous nomination, were made by C. H. Mansur, of Missouri, In favor ot Thurman; by J. W. Cummings, of Massachusetts, and Leroy F. Yeomaus, of South Carolina, in favor of Bayard, and by A. H. Livingston, of Missouri; N. M. Rose, of Arkansas; E. S. Bragg and J. B. Doollttle, of Wisconsin; Henry O. Kent,of New Hampshire; and T.

Thirty minutes after the allotted time proceedings were taken up by naming members of the National Committee, and of a committee to notify the coming nominees of their nomination. W. L.

Post Wm.H.Holllday William B. Morrison, of Illinois, presented the majority report of the Committee on Reso­ lutions. It bit erly denounces the Republican party and its plat lorm, the promises of whioh are declared to be a list of the party's past •failures. It then proceeds to - ay: The Democracy pledges itself to purify the administration from corruption, to restore econ­ omy, to revive respect for law. and to reduce taxation to the lowest limit consistent with due rejjarrt to the preservation of the faith of the nation to its creditors and pensioners. Knowing foil well, however, that legislation affeoting the occupations of the people should be twrtitiiTus and c nservative in method, not in advance of public opinion, but responsive to its demands, the Demooratic party is pledged to revise ttie tariff In a spirit of fairness to all in­ terests. But in making reduction in taxes it is not proposed to injure any domestic industries, but rattier to promote their healthy growth. From the foundation of this Government taxes, col­ lected at the custom house, hnve been the chief source ot Federal revenue. Siu h tlicy must con­ tinue to be. Moreover, many lndustr es have come to rely upon legislation for successful continu­ ance. so that any change of law must be at every step regardful of the labor and capital! thus involved. The process of reform must b6'l subject in its execution to this plain dictate of justice. All taxation ehall be limited to the require­ ments of economical government. The neces­ sary reduction in taxation can and mnst be effected wittu ut depriving American labor ot the ability to compete mccef-s'ully with foreign labor, and without imposing low. r rates of duty than will be ample to cover any increased cost of production which may exist in consequence of the higher rates ot wages prevailing in this country. Sufficient revenre to pay all the expense* ot the Federal Government economically adminis­ tered, including pensions, iuier<-*t an ! principal of the public d> bt, tan b^ got. under our present system of taxatcn, from custom-lie us • taxes on f< wer imported articles, bearing hcavi-st on ar i icles of luxury and Ifearing lightest on articles of necessity. We, therefore, denounce the abuses of the ex­ ist! ig tariff, and, subject to the preceding Uml- tatin:s, we demand that the Federal taxation shall be exclusively for public purposes, and shall not exceed the needs of the Government economically admln stered. The system ot direct taxation known as the "int rnal revenue" is a war tax. and so long as th ' law continues the mmey der.ved theretrom should be sicredly devoted to the relief of tiio people from the remaining burdens ot th<* war, and be made a fund to derray the expense of th • care and ci_mfort of worthy soldiers dis­ abled in line of duty in the wars ot the republic anel lor t:ie payment of such pensions as Con- cress may trom time to time grant to such sol­ diers, a like fund for the sa lors having been al­ ready provided; and any surplus should be paid into the Treasury. We favor an American continental policy based upon more intimate commercial and j>olIt- ical relations wtth the nfte n sister republics of North, Central, and South America, but en­ tangling all anoes with none. We b lieve in honest tnonev, the gold and sil­ ver coinage of the Constitution, and a cir not­ ing medium convertible into such money witu- Ollt loss. Asserting th3 equality of all men before the law, we hold that it is the dutv of the Govern­ ment, in its dealings with the people, to mete out equal and exact justice to all citizens of whatever nativity, race, color, or persuasion- religious or politkal. We believe in a free ballot and a fair count; and we recall to the memory of the people ttae noble straggles of the Democrats in the Forty- fi.th and Forty-sixth Congresses, by which a re­ luctant Republican opposition w as comp ll id to assent to legislation nukteg everywhere illegal the pteaende ot troops at tbe polls, aa the oon- resolt: Cleveland.........

" Chairman Vilas called the convention to order at precisely n o'clock, and prayer waa offered by Rev. Dr. Clinton Locke. Before the balloting began, the Chairman of tne Pennsylvania delegation withdrew the name of Samuel J. Randall. The clerk then pro­ ceeded to call the roll. Changes in favor of Cleveland grew frequent as the call of States proceeded, and were greeted with tremendous cheering. H£n ^evv Y°rk was reached, the Chairman, Mr. Manning, announced 72 votes for Grover Cleveland, and then continued: "Mr. President, I wish to state that, on polling the delegation, the vote stood 50 for Cleveland aud 22 for Mr. Hendricks. Mr. Gallup, of New York--I ask in the name ot the disfranchised minority in this delegation that their vote be announced as called by tue Chair. I ask that the announcement [gr»at con­ fusion], I ask that it be announced in the lan­ guage [hisses and confusion so that It was im­ possible to go on], in the language cf the Chair­ man of our delegation stating the vote of cur delegation upon the question. The confusion at this point wss so great that It was Impossible to go on until an interruption of several minutes occurred. The Chair finally quieted them down, and said: "Tte statement of the Chairman (Mr. Manninir) will be entered in the mlnuteH of the proceedings." Before any changes were made the ballot stood as follows: STATES AMD TKBBI- TOBIBS. Alabama Arkansas..... California, C< lorado Connecticut Delaware Fiorina Georgia. Illinois Indiana.

At the announcement of Pennsylvania's vote there was a scramble among the delegations to see which could transfer their votes to the Cleveland column first. North Carolina changed her 22 votes from Bayard to Cleveland amid tremendous applause. Virginia gave Cleveland 23 votes aud Hendricks 1. The confusion again became so greai that nothing could be done. Everybody seemed desirous to get on the wi n- nlng side. Order was not restored until the crowd had howl eel themselves hoarse. Changes were announced in the votes of Georgia, Florida, West Virginia. Maryland, Texas, Missouri, Cali­ fornia. and other States. The Secretary then commenced the call of the roll of States. As so<Vn as the vote of Alabama had be n announced the attention of the dele­ gates was attracted to a large painting of Gov. Clevelanel which was being brought to the plat­ form, and the call was interrupted by the ap­ plause which followed.

After order had been restored, a motion to make the nom­ ination unanimous was canied wiih a hurrah, the uproar lasting several minutes. The convention then took a recess until 8 o'clock p. m. Upon reassembling, the conven­ tion proceeded to the nomination ot a candidate for vice President. Mr. Saar'.es, of California, nominated Gen. Wm. S. Roseorans. Gov. Grant, of Colorado, nominated Joseph E. McDonald, of Indiana. A. O. Bacon, of Georgia, nominated Gen. J. C. Black, of Illinois. _ Mr. Fenlon nominated Gov. George W. Glick. of Kansas. Ex-Senator William A. Wallace, of Pennsyl- nnla, ascended the platform and in a speech .hat carried away the convention nominated Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana. Upon the mention of his name the scenes ot the morning were repeated. The audience stood up and cheered. The names of the previously nominated candidates were rapidly withdrawn leaving Mr. Hendricks the only man In the field. The call ot the States was then ordered, and every State waa recorded for him. Thomas A. Hendricks was then declared the unanimous nominee of the Democratic party for Vicc President. The announcement was received with the usual demons Ira ions of applause, waving of hats and handkerchiefs, etc. After the usual votes of thanks to the officers of tha convention and the city, the fourteenth Democratic National Convention, at 7-80 o'clock p. tn.

BUCK DYE SOB WOOD.--First sponge- the wood with a solution of chlorhydrate of aniline in water, to which a small quantity of chloride is added. Allow it to dry, and go over it with a solution of potassium biohromate. Repeat the process twice or thrice, and the wood will take a fine black color, unaffected, by light or chemicals. ~JV GLUE TO RESIST MOISTTJBB.--The preparations are: One pound of glue- melted in two quarts of skimmed milk. If stronger glue is required add powder­ ed chalk to common glue. Another reoeipt for marine glue is: One part of India rubber, twelve parts of mineral naphtha or coal tar; heat gently, mix and add twenty parts of powdered shel­ lac. Pour out on a slab to cool. When used to be heated to about 250 degrees. A good glue cement to resist moisture- may also be made as follows: One- part glue, one part of black resin and one-quarter part of red ochre, mixed, with the least possible quantity of water; or, four parts glue, one part of boiled oil (by weight) and one pari of oxide of iron. IRON PAINT.--A recent German in­ vention, composed of pulverized iron and linseed varnish, is intended for- covering damp walls, outer walls, and, in short, any plaoe or vessel exposed to- the action of the open air and weather. Should the article to be painted be ex­ posed to frequent channel of temperar ture, linseed oil varnish and amber varnish atfe mixed with the paint in­ tended for the first two coats, without the addition of any artificial drying medium. The first coat is applied rather thin, the second a little thicker,, and the last in rather a fluid state. The paint is equally adapted as weather­ proof coating for wood, stone, and irbn ; nor is it necessary to previously free the» latter from rust, grease, etc., a super­ ficial cleaning being sufficient. The paint will prove a valuable auxilliary to. manufacturers. SOMEBODY says large articles of brass- and copper which have become very- much soiled may be cleaned by a mix­ ture of rotten-stone (or any sharp polishing powder) with a strong solution of oxalic acid. After being thoroughly cleaned the metal should be w:pe& off with a eloth moistened with soda or potash, and a very light coating of oil should be applied to prevent the fur­ ther corroding action of the acid. 1 A. more powerful cleaning agent, because- more corrosive, is finely powdered ehromate of potash mixed with twice its bulk of strong sulphuric acid,, diluted (after standing an hour or so) with an equal bulk of water. This wilF instantly clean the dirtiest brass, but. great care must be taken in handling the liquid, as it is very corrosive. Brass which has been lacquered should never / be cleaned with polishing powders or- eorrosive chemicals. Wiping with a soft cloth is sufficient, and in some i cases washing with weak soap and Wa- . ter may be admissible. Dry the olrti-^ cles thoroughly, taking care not to- 1 scratch them, and if after this they I show much sign of wear and corrosion^ j send them to the lacquerer to be re** j finished. • .. * '»„f. | The Cow1»Color. * 4 " * In the early days of Thaddeus 8tev- J ens' practice he was engaged by the | defendent in a suit for damages jn an. | alleged trespass of his cow in A neigh- j bor's garden. In the cross examination- I of a witness who swore to having seen* the cow on the premises, Mr. Stevens- j said: I "Did I understand you to say that 1 the cow in the garden was a black 1 cow?" SI "Yes. sir." | "Will you undertake to say that .tb«rr; cow you saw was perfectly black, or- I was it not lighter in some parts? Now i be careful; this is a very important ;! point in your testimony and will effect ^ the decision of the jury," fj "Well, I said it was a black cow to* the best of my recollection, but it-. might have been a little mixed' is. color." '*1 "Ah!" said stevens, "we are coming- j to the truth at last. You say it was- mixed in color, what do you mean by » ; that? Was it spotted?" 1 "No, I did not see any spots on-iV^j but it might have been lighter or* I brindled about the head and breast. '* . J "A brindled cow was it ? First it- ^ was black, then a little mixed in some- *1 places, and now brindled." | The poor witness, utterly -bewildered. J at the perversion of his testimony, could not make a clear statement. J Stevens in his speech to the jury, said: q "Now, gentlemen of the jury, you have ^ heard and must judge of the credibility J of a witness who first swears that he- saw my client's cow in his neighbor's- J cabbages, then swears that the cow < was black; he then admits that the cow 4 might have been partially brindled; in> j fact he can't tell what kind of a cow it : was.
