CLEYELAND 49, HEYnRIcEs.


The Democratic Convention at Chi
cago has presented TO the people Of
the United states candidates for
President and Nice-Prssident, richly
worthy Of their support.
The almost unanimous sentiment
Of Democrats MI over the country
demanded the denomination of tire
old ticket Of 1S7G-Tilden and Hen
bricks who were elected at The polls,
but cIica ed out in the aouut-the
people desired to rebuke and ayenge
this wrong.
Shortly before the convention met
NJ. 1ilden positively declined to ac-
cept on account Of his age and phys
zeal inlirmities.
Governor Cleveland was the success
or in New York Of Samuel j. 1ilden
as the representative Of REFORM On
this issue two years ago he carried
the State of New York by n major
ity Of 1872, 600. Mr.. Tilden and his
friends in New York supported bin
as the best representative Of honest
government and administrative re-
form.
Governor Cleveland, has never
been a politician. lie lived in the
city of Buffalo, New York, and the
demands Of honest government and
municipal reform brought him out
for Mayor Of that large city some
years ago, and he was triumphantly
elected and effectually reformed and
put in order the affairs of that city.
Nearly two years ago the State Of
New York called upon him to take
charge Of her affairs and perform for
the State the same service he had so
efficiently rendered to the city of Buff
falo. He accepted the call and was
elected by 10000 majority. He
has 50 we'll carried ont the wishes of
his constituency and 50 ably and hon.
estly administered the affairs of the
great State Of New York, that she
presented him for the Presidency as
eminentlY fit to do for the whole
country what he has already done
for his own city and his own State.
The Democracy of the United States
have selected him as their standard
bearer and as the champion of Re
form. Some of the party bosses
and cliques in his own State opposed
him but it only made him stronger
So much for Grover Cleveland, the
candidate for the Presidency.
AS to Thomas A. Hendricks. there
is no need to speak to the Democrats
Of The United States. Thew all know
him in every noo, and corner Of the
country. He is above all others the
best beloved Democrat IN his own
State Of Indiana, and is above all
others the best known and the most
generally esteemed Democrat in the
United States, the man once elected
Vice-President, and by fraud de-
prived Of his place, and the people of
the United States in NOV ember next
will see to it that he is again elected
and will take care that neither force OF
fraud shall avail to defeat their Will.

A Washington Bonaparte.

Col. Jerome Bonaparte, the rightful
heir to the throne of France, or what
ever else the Corsican family are en-
titled to, was one of the striking figures
there, as lie is IN every assembly. He
is above the average height, of broad
shoulders and fine built, and carries
himself with dignity aid air that
marks him at once. Eccentric old Bet
" Patterson might well be proud Of
her grandson 'Bo," and Frenchmen
look upon him admiringly as one who
unites in himself the noblest OF the
Bouaparte trM's. Col. BoBapaI'te
fought in our war and served his great
uncle's country throughout the Fran :
co-Prussian struggle. He has steadily
refused TO entertain any aspirations to-
wards the throne, and in his life pre-
sents as noble an example as the late
Counte de Chambord. Revolutionists
and political schemers have received
courteses, but no encouragement at
S.handS, and since his majority Col.
Bonaparte has led the straightforward,
self-respecting life Of an American
professional man. His large inheritance
from his mother assured him a fortune
without depending upon his profession,
but until his removal here his name
was with his brothers on the sign Of
their law firm in Baltimore. Col. Bona
parte resembles the late Emperor Ma
poleon in his features, wearing the
same mustache and imperial, but his
figure and bearing render him a much
finer looking man than that gray-eyed
Man of Destiny. There was a sharp
contrast when he stood beside Gen.
Sheridan, who with his dumpy little
figure, queer wrinkled face and bald
crown hardly reached to the shoulder of
the imperial-looking man beside him.

Married for Keeps.

The skipper of coal boat on the Bal
timore and Ohio canal recently decided,
after mature deliberation and careful
consideration, to marry his cook, who
had been a tried and faithful servant to
him for quite a number of his perilous
trips on the storm-lashed canal. So he
spoke to her about the matter one day,
and after securing her coy consent, he
ordered the boat tied up at small
town, and, being practical skipper,
skipped up street after a parson. The
nuptial knot was soon tied, the parson
beaten down to a dollar and half for
his fee, and then the canal boatman
said:
"Well, MelindY, we are married for
keeps now. We are hitched for life,
and must pull together. I'm a little
short-handed to-day, and as that lead
mule has got saddle gals on his back,
you jst take the tow path, and lead
him down to Harper's Ferry, an III
steer, an kinder ruminate on some
plan to give you work on the boat with
out going ashore in the mud. I've got
a powerful sight more respect for you
now, that you're my wife"

scream, but he pressed his fingers so
hard into the house surgeons hand
that the latter knew he was right in
his conjecture. Then third shock
was given-a stronger one, and this
time Pet sprang out of bed with tears
starting to his eyes and exclaimed
"Oh don't do it again don t do it
again ~
One or two students round were
laughing, but the surgeon did not see
anything but pathos in the scene, as he
said, gravelY
"Then you are not i'll, and have been
giving us all this trouble for nothing.
Why did you do 1t -
lie wanted the lad to tell the truth,
and of course to him Pet did.
"Please, SIR" he said, not crying
now, but looking straight with his
great gray eyes into the Doctors face,
"'twas the tree, the Christmas tree, us
I wanted to SEQ so awful bad Ne
and Jimmy and Bill, we seed it AGAR
red into here, all beautiful, and-and
Il did want to see it again j.
And so you pretended to be i'll, that
you might come in here, and"

"And what am I to do with you Low
do you think ?"
"Turn me ont again. said Pet
promptly.
There was something very like n
quiYer in the surgeons voice as he said
with Infinite tenderness
mo, o,my lad, l shan't do that TO you;
you shall see the Christmas tree in
here. You are not what you pretend
to be, but you are cutie i'll enough to
stay in the ward until after Christmas
time, and then we will see :"
And so Pet had his Christmas tree,
and Jimmy and Bill came in at the sur
geon'S invitation to see ii, too, but Pet
did not go back with them after it to
Lambeth. He never LEFT the hospital
again, for consumption ran rapid
course with HIM, and before three
months were over he died in the ward.
