DIDN'T GIT THE MONEY

Yesterdays New York papers contain
this paragraph in their reports from the Re
publican National Headquarters:
Several gentlemen from West Virginia
visited the Republican National Commit
Iee's headquarters in the morning and held
a consultation with Mr.. S. B. Elkins. They
all expressed the opinion that West Virginia
w0sld be carried by the Republicans in 0e-
tober and by Blaine in November. One Of
the politicians, who is almost constantly at
the headquarters, said that thu West Yir-
ginians were after money, and that they
had not vet been successful
They all expressed the opiniOnthat West
Virginia would be carried by the Repubh-
cans" yet they were begging for money.
Now. We venture the assertion thar not one

while on each side of the pulpit wero
stands of ported plants, many OF them IN
bloom, and this floral display extended
from one side of the church clear to the
other. The ushers wore ~button-hole
bouquets, and flowers abounded every.
where.
The pastor, Rev. Cyrus Hamlin, gave
one of his best sermons, which is saying
much. His theme was the resurrection,
and he dwelt upon the inner life being
the great essential rather than the exter-
nal body. He threw out some very in
teresting suggestions as to the probable
characteristics of the spiritual body which
would be the body of tho resurrection.
THE BAPTIST CHURCH
was also decorated, though not so pro-
fusely as some of the Others. There
were about the base of the pulpit and
edge of the platform a largo number OF
plants in bloom, and bouquets of cut
flowers we're placed in conspicuous places.
The pastor, Rev. j. G. Lemon, took "a
his text LIST Cor. 10: IA. He dwelt
upon the theme of the resurrection, and
spoke especially concerning Easter day.
He showed that il was a modification OF
a heather festival, and that while the
Puritans went to one extreme in utterly
.disregarding the day, there should be
caution used against going to the other
extreme and making too much of the day
He found Easter mentioned but once
in the Bible, and there it was a mistrans.
~lation, the passover being referred to.
The exact date of the resurrection could
not be determined. He was glad to
speak upon Easter and its lessons, be-
cause the thoughts of the people were
moro or less upon that subject, but he
cautioned his hearers not to lay too much
stress upon the mere observance of days.

was almost packed. There was not an
empty seat. The announcement that the
Rev. DR.. Cleland, now of Keokuk, was
to occupy the pulpit, was n of the
reasons for so large a congregation. For
many years he was the pastor of this
church, and not only do the church folk
feel strongly attached to him, but the
citizens generally, among whom
respect and admiration for him. The
church was beautifully de ,orated. The
platform was almost covered with wire
stands filed with plants in bloom, while
there was a great abundance of cut
flowers in various designs. On the wall
above the pulpit appeared "Christ is
Risen" A beautiful floral star was sus.

front of the pulpit was a large cross
made of Gala lilies. Upon the organ
rested a white sickle. These decorations
were arranged under the direction OF
Miss Julia Officer. Excellent music was
provided, the choir consisting Of Misses
Baldwin, Whitney, Joslin, and Messrs.
Wylie, Parsons, Judd, Stubs and Cook
with Mr.. Judson as organist. Rev. DR..
Cleland preached a very interesting and
thoughtful service from the text: Con
