born to-day about the proposition to
send members of congress rs delegates
TO the national Democratic conVen-
ton. He said he could only speak for
himself; that his situation was such
he could not be present at the conven,,
ton without great inconvenience, ana
that there were numbers OF gentlemen
in our district who could conveniently
attend, and no doubt would cheerfuily
perform not only this duty. but any
other reasonable service the party
might require of them. He had no
desire TO he appointed a delegate, and
had not and would not allow the use
Of his name in that convention.

a change ~ the News advocates would
be TO wipe out at one fell swoop me
customs and habils Of the past: IL

might be made sources OF revenue,
without injury to any business iudus-

ONE feature about Arthur II that he
is hospilable and sociable. He doesn't
expect 10 get rich by saving his salary.
His state dinners are described as gor.
geous affairs that cost anywhere from
81 800 to 81 800 each. The bills are
footed by the presidential host him.
self and in social life he makes no
distinction on account of politics,
Democrats being among his boon COM
panions and intimate friends. There
was none Of this royal revelry in the
White House when Hayes was pres
ident. That worthy gave one cheap
state dinner a year and wine was not
on the bill of fare. Rutherford b. did
have beverage, however, that was
dispensed semi-occaslonally. 1t Is re-
lated that when the Turkish minister
made his first call Mr.. Hayes offered
him glass Of crab-aDple cider, the
fame having been brought from Ohio.
The polite and conliding Moslem
drank 1t, bowed. wiped of his chin,
pulled down his vest and left the
White House. He never drank there
again while Hayes drew Tlldens sal {
lry. Arthur, when he goes out, will
be remembered, II nothing else, as a
lospitable gentleman who endeav-
ID TO make his administration socially
respectable and enjoyable to those |
With whom he came in contact.
