Republicans Going Under.

The most conspicuous feature dcvel-
oped at the meeting Of the Republican
State Central Committee, OF Illinois, at
Chicago, April the l4th, was the invita-
ton to A. c. Hesing, the German Repub-
liean leader of Chicago, to address them,
and Mr.. Hesing complied with the re-
quest by telling them a great deal they
did not want to hea-. lie told them he
was a member of the party no longer; il
had been guilty of a double violation Of
its Philadelphia platform, which repelled
him and 100 900 German votes In Illinois
from its standard. The PhiladeIphia
platform had declared for return to
specie payment, and against interference
by sumptuary laws with rights not sur.
rendered by the people to either State or
National government. Both these dec
larations had been viol-tcdA-the Grst by
the Currency bill in Congress the ether
by the support which the Republican
party gives to the temperance movement.
On these points Mr.. Hesing said:
| told the Central Committee, in the
fremont house, two years ago, that il
the Republican party continued its pro.
fession of being the party of morality it
would sink so deep that it could never
rise again. l tell you gentlemen sump-
tuary laws have helped to kill the party.

always supported the Republican party
have been kicked out by sumptuary laws,
and they will never go backs believe

VERY ROMANTIC, Bur roo SooN.-
There is young lady in This city who
has the misfortune to talk In her sleep,
and it is said she will answer uncon-
sciously the questions which are secrets
in her waking hours. She is waited up
on by timid young man who has never
been able to screw his courage up to the
sticking place" and ask her to marry
him. He went up one night last week
and entering the front door, as was his
habit, without ringing the bell, he saw
his dulcinea asleep on the parlor sofa.
He hestated moment over the Propric.
ty Of advancing without announcing
himself, when he heard his own name
softly expressed from between those
coral lips. immediately the pent-up
burden of his heart broke out In words |:
dearest, do you love me1'
"Yes, was the soft response from
the sleeper.
"will YOU marry me;"
"Yes.
"Shall it be in year,
"Any time.
Let it be in six months ?"
There was a moments silence and sus.
pense, when the lips again moved and
the young man heard distinctly the little
word May" He stepped cautiously
back and glided quietly from the house.
He has been up every night since, but
has not referred to the conversation with
the sleeper. May is a very pleasant
month, but the time is rather too soon
for the young man.--Helesa Koss.)
