Holiday Remcmbrdnces.- The con-
gregaton of the Reformed Church,
this place, Friday evening, Dee. DIST,
invaded the residence OF Rev. DR.. j.
Ruhl the pastor. The visit was un-
expected by the family, but free range
of the house was given at once. The
visitors intruded into the parlor,
sittingroom, library and pantry,
N each of which they left somt-
thing ornamental or useful to the
apartment. The most conspicuous
and durable memento of the incursion
was placed in the sitting-room-a
costly and exceedingly handsome
pivotal rocker-chair, This the pastor
esteems very highly, inasmuch as is
evinces upon the part of his people
= thoughtful regard for his comfort at
time of life when he can most enjoy
it. In the pantry u host of articles
were left, varying in kind and quantity,
but sufficient as a whole to warrant
good living for months to come.
Some remarks were made by visitors
and pastor pertinent to the occasion,
and altogether the affair was most
happy to those concerned.
The seventh and eighth grade pupils
of Frostburg Public School No. |, on
the same day evinced their affectionate
regard for Prof. }. Z. j. Buckley,
principal, by the presentation of II
very pretty photograph album. In
appearance and design the gift is Il
novelty.
The thanks of the JOURNAL are due

pair OF scissors, and the male '.,facto-

The convention upon re-asscm-
ping TINS AFTERNOON, made tho
temporary officers permanent, and
M once proceeded Ia business. Rcs.
olutions were introduced instruc,lng
the chairman of the State Central com
mittoc Ia telegraph the New York
state Democratic convention that
| GOV. Cleveland was the first
choice Of the Michigan Democ-
racy. This created quite an
length While the prcponderancc of
the convention was reflected by the
sentiments of the resolution, IL was ar
gucd that the New York convention was
divided upon the subject, and that this
might seem like an oflicious meddling
with other peoples business. This view
finally caused the tabling Of the resou-
ton by II decisive majority. The
following were chosen delegates
at-large 10 the Chicago convention:
q. NJ. Barnes, Tim T.. Tarnscy, o. Pow
crs and A. l.. Swineford. The following
resolution reported from the committee
was adopted;
We, the Democracy OF Michigan, in
convention assembled. pledge our
tional doctrines OF the Democratic party.
We dcplorc the fact that Samuel
j. Tildcn has declined the recollection TO
the presidency Of the United States, and
we affirm our faith in the statements ex-
pressed by him In his noble statesman
like letter. We believe that home rule Is
essential 10 free government; that the
a. nd Npft na1
thority should bc clearly defined To in
sure the broadest liberty To the people.
we believe in AN economical adj
m!nistration OF the government, and
we dcnouncc the Republican party
in power for the wasteful extravaganza
in squandcring. public money. We
demand immediate reduction of the
present outrageous system of tax
alton, which * accumulating over
Slp.OW,OM surplus revenue each
year. We heartily endorse the action
of the Democratic majority in Congress
I'm its endeavor To reduce taxation. We
believe in the commercial free
dom of every man to buy
where he can buy cheapest,
and sell where he can sell dearest.
We denounce the present tariff
levied upon our 1000 articles as
masterpiece of injustice, iniquty
and false pretense. We de
mand that all custom-houso taxation
shall he only for revenue. We instruct
the delegates 10 Chicago, elected 10y this
convention, To insist on the re-ailirnlation
of this policy of taiif reform as essential
to the consistency and success
of the party. We denouncc
the Republican party for its
hypOcracy in declaring for the reform
of abuses, while IL has the sole RESPONSE
bility, and yet In placing i'm nomination
for president n man identified with all
these abuses and corruptions which have
disgraced our politics during the time
while his party has been in power.
