Kate Thayer aud the Spanish
Students gave us an excellent canccrt
Monday eve, and they had u full
house. The music on the mandollnos
was new here "took" first rate.
A gust of wind Sunday took ayard

Republican flag, swinging across
Central Street.
The ladies, God bless them, they

We suppose the Republicans will

right.
The heavy rains of Saturday aud
Sunday helped US much. More IS
needed.
A Republican friend called on us
this morning-he is too modest to
have us mention his name. He felt
of our pulse without saying VOID,
and pronounced us all right. He is
all right too-except his politics.
Long may he wave.
We set up until three o'clock this
"Wednesday morning at Democratic
headquarters, and we were ready to
sing-if we knew how-the sad re-
frain, "Good bye, sad world, we are
going home.'
The dedication of the White House
Chapel, Sunday evening, last was a
big affair. The cold White was
full of folks. The dedication opened
with voluntary on the organ, sing
ing by the choir, prayer, hymn by
Bryant (77S), historical facts and Civ

audience, prayer and singing in chap

We think, while zealots fast and frown
And fight for two or seven,
That there are fifty roads to town
And rather more to heaven,
and that the Old White is not thu
only one, and yet we are free to ad
nit, as Mr.. Billings did, that it is jus
as good road as any. A $4,000
present is not made to church every
day, and the members had great rea
son to BIZ thankful. Mr.. Billings pre-.
scented the keys of the chapel to w

parlor to Mrs. Lyndon A. Marsh
Perhaps there is nothing more modern
in architecture or elaborate in tinlst
of the kind in this country than .thl'
edifice.
We are defeated, that's fact, bu

The bird is good for another fight

be sure we have travelled it twenty
years as editor of fhis paper, ant
through the kindness of our Demo
cratic and Republican friends, we have
been able to get our "bread and but

and the poor house, and by constan
industry and perseverance, even unde
more adverse circumstances politically
