BLOOMINGTON. I'LL, jury 10 AT the
democratic ratification held in this city
last night, a decided conflict arose be
tween Hon. Geo. R. Vending and
Hon. H. Oberly. They both address
sed the acknowledgement the former de-
clared that Blame was fit for President
and Logan was fit for Vice President,
and the campaign should be fought up
on party issues alone and should alb
stain from all personal abuse. Oberly
apparently surprised at Weddings re-
marks, took occasion to contradict
with emphasis the statements made by
Vending. Vending scarcely commit
ted himself to Cleveland and Hend-
ricks. He declared in loftier terms
for Blaine and Logan.

fhe Great Book of the Year.

There has been wonderful demand
lately from Republicans for full and
reliable book of the campaign. Books
are plentiful, but these do not respond
to the wants OF intelligent voters who
naturally desire the best it is possible
to obtain. and it is true that in this
description Of literature there should
be no second class. The best is always
the one desirable. According to our
view, just the work wanted has but
now been issued from the press OF
Messrs. Jones Brothers & Co., of
St, Louis. 1t seems to respond to the
wants of all who wish to be fully in

THOUGHTS.

Teach girl to be thorough in
whatever she undertakes, and later on
she will find that one talent will gather
many to itself. A smattering OF any,
thing is always dangerous. Learn less
but learn more thoroughly, should be
the rule for girls education.
The bane of life is discomfort. Who
has not found it so I? We say we will
work so long, and then we will enjoy
ourselves. But we find it just as
Thackeray has expressed it. 'sWhen
l was boy" he said; Il wanted some
taffy--it was shilllng-I hadn't one.
When l was man, had a shilling !;
but / didn't want any taffy.
Spare moments are the gold-dust Of
time. Young wrote true as well as a
striking line when Re SAID, Islands
make the mountains, and moments
make the years" OF all portions Of
our life are. spare moments are the
most fruitful of evil. They are the
gaps through which temptations find the
easiest access to the garden of the
soul.
There are few things SO simple so
praiseworthy, and SO scarce as honesty;
and yet to be honest is one of the
easiest things in the world, if a man
only has the natural gift.
Things that will wear are no, to be
had cheap. Whether it be fabric or
a principle, if it is to endure it must
cost something. Glitter. tinsel, bril-
liant coloring may all be lad without
much expense; but if we would have
strength. firmness, and permanence
we must pay for them.
Style is only the frame TO hold our
thoughts. 1t is like the sash of win.
dow-a heavy sash will obscure the
light.
Divorce is easy In the island Of
Madagascar. A tired or angry hus.
band merely sends for his wife and
gives her a piece OF money before a
witness saying, 81 thank you madam"
and the thing is done. Divorce is
hence termed thanking wife"
