The banquet hall was 8 perfect maze of floral decorations, while the table designs were superb. A sample one costing $50 over the presidents chair was the celebrated DOT trait of Thomas Jefferson painted from life by Sharples, the London painter, and near it one of Andrew Jackson.

 of the people to be regarded? Should the possession of wealth bring only luxury on
 one hand and poverty on the other, or mu-
 nifcence and universal happiness garlanded
 with justice? Or should the route to success
 be a star route? It was for the
 Democratic party to say whether material
 riches or charity and integrity were to be
 the future wealth of the nation. Above all
 must the party set itself against centraliza.

l Canadian Detectives in BufraIo-In Pur- suit of Dynamite FIends
 BUFFALO, April 13.-Two prominent Cana ! dian detectives have been in this city for 8 l week. The presence of these officers natur- ally excited considerable comment in police | circles, particularly as they studiously avoid ed contact with the local force and held ire quent consultations together. Yesterday one
 of them departed for Ottawa and soon after there was a rumor that the object of his visit was in connection with the recent dynamite 1 outrage abroad, that these detectives have
 been shadowing members of the Land League l and also looking for members of the gang that recently attempted to blow up the Ri- dsau Hall in Ottawa. The fact that Buffalo is the headquarters of the Central Council of the American Land League, the highest Irish authority in America, naturally attracts the attention of the British authorities to this city. Besides this Buffalo is close to the portation facilities It is not forgotten that the great Fenian raid origin ated here and there is now evid- ence that the British authorities regard the city as the distributing point for dyna- mite and revolutionary documents. Stand ing in the central depot this noon waiting for the Canada Southern train was a short
 thick-set man with ruddy cheeks and a look unmistakably Canadian. He was one of the officers from the Dominion and appeared about to follow the example of his colleague A reporter approached the object of his regard, introduced himself, stated what he had learned and asked for the complete appeared considerably surprised, but con descended to remark: ''How did you get on to me: anyhow?'' This was gratifying to the reporter. He framed evasive reply and asked: ''Is it true that you came here in search of dynamite and d-dynamite con spirators?" An awkward pause ensued dur
 ing which the detective appeared lost in thought Finally he said: q don't think I ought to say anything about the matter, but will simply say that we have tracked to this city two of the men who assisted in the attempt to blow up one
 of the public buildings at Ottawa. We have been shadowing them for some time and are
 satisfied as to their identity. We think they
 are not here now" "ls there any truth in
