Tho Coming Democratic state Convention


Editors Herald;
The democratic state convention will,
from present indications, be characterized
by holly contested struggles between can.
didatcs for the various high and responsible
offices to be filled, and there will be also no
small amount of sectional differences, and
every precaution should be taken to pro.
mote harmony and good feeling in the con.
vention.
II will be known that the selection of
temporary officers for conventions is fire..

strength Of candidates, and that struggles

A California correspondent writing from
London tells the following: 1t appears the
princess wanted Albert Edward one night
last week, about 10 o'clock, for something
or other. He wasn't to be found. So she
sent an equerry over to the Marlborough
club for him. After lruitless search
there, as well as at the Guards
and two or three other of the
SWEETEST clubs, his royal hishness was
discovered quietly smoking cigarette
with friend or two in Mrs. Langtry' S
dressing.room at the Haymarket theatre.
OF course the most essential changes of
toilette for the third act of Ours had been
made before the men were let in. The
third act of the play is, as doubtless many
of your readers know, in the Crimea during
the Russian war. 1t so happened that the
faces of the equerry and the call-boy APP
pearcd at the door together. From this
moment, sir" exclaimed Mrs. Langtry,
assuming tragic air, "our paths lie i'll
opposite directions am going to the
war, while you are ordered home.

The advocates OF suffrage in
Massachusetts, have determined 70 put
TO the test the sincerity Of the Demo

last state convention resolved "that the
ballot should be placed in the hands Of
all citizens. irrespective Of sex" Gov

members Of the Legislature are now re-
minded Of this pledge. and the coming
lawgivers are asked to show their faith
by their works and vote for all woman
suffrage measures In the next Legislature.

The session Of congress which began
At Washington Monday will end its lAbors
on the 4th of March. There Is not much
time for foolishness, and If the members
will go light on the wind pudding which
characterized the last session, and de-
vote their time and energies to an hon.
est effort to reduce taxation and accom-
plIsh other necessary work, they will
add to the lustre Of their craftsmanship,
and confer an inestimable boon upon
the country. The course of the last
congress In relation to many measures
which claimed its attention, had a.
much to do as anything else with the
political revolution which surprised the
Republican party this fall, and the re-
suits Of last session should admonish
our solons Al Washington against a rep
e.ilion OF such folly this winter.
