The s. Chic" of Simplicity.
Public Ledger.

How astonlshed some fair Ameri-
can brides, preparing their trous
seaux, mustsbe to read that the new
Duchess of Westminster, wife to one
of the richest men in Europe, was
married in dress OF white foulard,
a short dress of walking length.
The Hon. Catharine Cavendish, for
that was the young ladys name, had
not the column of description bes
fore her imagination in which her
wedding dress would be read by an
admiring world OF, if she had, she
preferred thst the accounts, as well
as the bill, should be short one.
"Jennie June" in letter from Sar-
atoga, would seem to show that the
only way to be distinguished at this
monstrous social exchange is to be
governed by similar taste. She
describes an overdressed young wo~
man who has put on all her
jewellery" an expensive silk
and a loaded bonnet, wishing
with all her heart that
she could change places with the
belle, who is charming in pale
blue chambray gingham, trimmed
with Hamburg edging, and coarse,
white straw hat. The white fouiard
of the Duchess of Westminster prof.
ably cost seventy five cents yard
and the blue bingham of the admired
American twenty-five cents. Grad
ually our people are learning that il
is not the material, but the way it ii
worn, that shows the lady. And the
shopkeepers, to their credit, are
doing their best 10 make the idea al
easy one to carry out. The present
generation will never see the old
fashioned levy and yet some o
of the prettiest goods In cotton foul
ards are being shown now, marked
with the (disappeared) coin, value
twelve a half cents. Any woman
can be as we'll dressed in these as il
silk attire, if she chooses. Indeed
between the cotton and the silk il
would be hard to say which has the
most lustrous surface or promises
the longest wear.

remarks introducing General Gibson,
who spoke nearly an hour. He paide
a glowing tribute to the Repub>
Iican party, spoke of the gen
eral prosperity of the country,
and concluded with discussion of
the financial question. Senator War
ner Miller, of New York, spoke of
the principles of tariff and defended
them In vigorous manner Fred~
erick Robe, the Republican candi-
date for Governor, defined his posi-
ton upou the leading issues in the
campaign. He approved the Re
publican party ndrit principles, and
predicted a great victory.
Amid the applause of the assembly
then introduced Mr. Blaine, who, in
speech of thirty minutes, discussed
the State issues. He referred to the
decisions of the Supreme Court in
years that are gone. and stated en-
phatically that they had been obeyed
until the days of Garce1on and
Plaisted. He arraigned the latter
for violating and entirelyfdisregard-
ing the decision of the court, and
declared that he ought to be im>
peached. Speeches were also made
by Commissioner Loring, Congress-
men Dingley and Reed, Mr., Bou
telle, Senator Hale, Lewis Barker,
R. G. Horn, of Michigan, George D.
Robinson, of Massachusetts,, Gen. j.

monitor. Great enthusiasm existed
throughout the entire meeting.
Speaking occurred from several
stands. The meeting was probably
the largest ever held in Maine.

Twenty five thousand people were
upon the grounds, coming from
every section of Maine When Mr..

was received with warm welcome.
Upon the platform were many we'll

THE GUBERNATORIAL CANVASS.
Hawkins, RUSSELL and Beasley at ROg-
ersyille.


RoGERsvILLE, Tenn, August 81.
Mr.. EDITOR: The candidates for
Governor arrived here at 11:30 a. 10.
to day, on special train, and com~
menced speaking promptly at II NJ,
to fair and appreciative audience.
The discussion was opened by
Mr.. Beasley in a speech of one hour
and fifteen minutes. He is a clear
thinker and forcible and logical
speaker The burden of his speech
was that only the State debt proper
AS he termed it amounting to
four million dollars, should be paid
by the State; the balance of the
bonded indebtedness having been
created for the benefit of the rail
roads is not a State debt in any
sense and should never be paid by
the people of Tennessee. He claimed
to be the champion of 1.-The labor re-
form Greenback party" whatever
that may be- in Tennessee, and fa-
vOrs the issuance of an unlimited
quantity of acknowledgements
lions I believe he said-by the IA
tional government, so that farm
laborer, instead of getting $40 a
month, rs now, would get 25 or $50.
Just how ne, as Governor, or his
party, the greenback labor reform in
Tennessee, can thus make money so
bountifrl he failed to tell us.
With all his c.2imerical notions, he
made some happy bits, which were
we'll recei ged by the crowd.
! He was followed by Governor
Hawkins, who said he was the
standard,.bearer of the Republican
party In Tennessee, commissioned to
bear it's banner in this canvass from
the mountains to the father of the
waters, upon whose folds are ever
written in words of living fire ''lib
erty and equal rights to all, an hons
est ballot and fair count.
His presentation of the State debt
question was very forcible and con
vinciug, and was really unanswera-
BILE. Time and space forbids my
giving synopsis even of his speech.
Suffice 1T EOS say, that it was
al eloquent vindication not on y Of
his own administration, but of the
Republican par : in the nation.
You may rely upon the Republi~
cans of this county giving him solid
vote in November.
Mr.. Russell closed the debate
He cleined that his party and the
platform upon which he stands is
the only true exponent of Democratic
principles in Tennessee; that the
/ platform of Mr. Bate is one of dis :
honesty and is undemocratic, being
antagonistic to the traditions and
principles of that party, and cannot
succeed before an honest people; that
while Bate is skulking around, afraid
10 meet the foe (Hawkins) he expect
ed to. meet him on every stump In
the State and expose the corruptions
OF the Republican party, which he
then and there proceeded to do in
vigorous English. True, his arraign-
ment of the Republican party was
rather vague and general, but doubt
less it was satisfactory to himself
as it was to the Democratic portion
of the audience, who cheered him
Justify. That portion of his speech
devoted to the temperance plank III
his platform is worthy of special
praise, and was much appreciated.
