Jenkins al a wedding.

Mrs. Heister Clymer's wedding
gown was Of pearl gray repped silk,
which was old fashioned, but no Lyons
or duchess sat in could have drawn
better language than this from the st.
Louis Republican: "A soft tint of
warmth seemed to blush in the rich
fabric where it lay in thick folds
as they swept forth in the long and am
Pile court train about whose edges
riffs of fine lace lay like rime, but ere

petticOat, tlecked and shadowed by
deep falls of superb duchesse in a
pattern of oak leaves and roses alter
mating with scantily shirred pufs Of
the pearl tinted silk, was simply and
severely elegant. The bodice termin-
ated in front with short-pointed pan
iers, closely drawn and edged all
around with the exquisite duchesse
lace. Above the lace lay a wide
passementerie of cut crystal beads,
limpid as dew, patterned in a phan-
tom feet work of acorns and leaves,
which impaired a shimmering, fairy
like beauty to this lovely robe. About
the square-cut cOrsage and elbow

TO suppress testimony that proved fraud
and corruption, and the want OF
quorum on the day Kellogg
claims 10 have been elected Senator
by the Packard Legislature, the effect
was electric. The galleries, however.
seemed most impressive and worked
up when he declared that II Democratic
Senators vote TO retain Kellogg that
they will proclaim TO the world that the
eight were right and the seven wrong,
and will invest with credit the electoral
commission. They will say, too, by
this act that the Democratic party has
been for three years denouncing the
frauds in louisiana when there have
been no frauds there. 1t was evident,
however, as great as the speech was
and as immense as the ability OF the
Senator was. demonstrated by il TO be,
that he Is not popular with his brother

The sensation OF to-day was created
in the Senate by Wade HamptOn'S
speech on the kellogg Spoford resolu-
tions. To the utter amazement OF the
Democrats, especially those from the
Southern States, he opposed the seating
OF SpOfford, not because he thought he
was not entitled to his seat, but upon
the ground that majority OF the Senate
having once declared kellogg Senator,
it would BE- unsafe 10 establish the pre-
cedent that such an act accomplished by
a majority of that body, might at any
time subsequently be reviewed and
set aside by succeeding majori y OF an
opposing party. The speech at first put
the Republicans into an ecstacy OF de-
light, but some OF the more astute are
already beginning to ponder over the
effect that the establishment Of the con-
trary precedent may have in the fu-
ture. They seem to fear that il the cue
furnished by Hampton is taken mp by
the Democrats, and they succeed in
clearly establishing the fact that Kel-
logg is permitted to hold his seat in

and that among the sufferers by his
suspension-no other word so well de-
scribes it-were hundreds OF the labor
ing poor who lost their all, few were un'
gracious enough to charge that his EN-

direction of any description. There has
been, nevertheless, very natural curl
osity to hear his own explanation oil his
troubles, made under such circumstan-

and thousands of his church have long
wished that such an opportunity would
present itself. 1t has done so, and the
report of his examination is appended.

WALL STREET BEHIND BLAINE,

Senator Ben Hills friends say that he
rose above Kellogg in his speech, and
put the government on trial, by show
ing that all its powers were used to
shield the Observation-Disclosures. There
is strong conviction that Jay Gould
and Wall street syndicate are backing
Blaine, and it is openly asserted by the
Grant men that they furnish the money
to carry conventions in his interest.
The appropriation bills are rapidly ap-
preaching completion in the committees,
and Congressman say that when they
are passed Congress will adjourn, tariff
or no tariff. Col. Ben Wilson is back,
hard at work, and happy in the belief
that no other fellow will occupy his chair
in the next Congress.

WASHINGTON. May Is.
i telegaphed you last night briefly
that il is charged now that Jay Gould
and his syndicate, composed OF congo
nial fnanciers, are supplying the money
with which Blaine is making his great
campaign. Now it has long been appar-
ent that the Blainites had plenty OF
money. had supposed the Grant men
would cry out Indignantly at this an
nouncement, but the fact is their
moral sense is so perverted that
they only regret that the barrels
of J. g. & Co., are not being used To adj
vance the third term. They charge,
but with no indignation, that this
money has been flowing freely where.
ever conventions have been held, aud
when they heard OF Eugene Hale's dis
patch over the Blaine victory in Michl-
gan, their comment was, "More OF jaw
GOuld's money" Politicians, like the
rest of the world, have no respect for
poverty, and it will help Mr.. Blaine for
them to believe that his managers have
free access to the Golfers of mhllionalres
who could buy out a score OF Tlldens.
