Col. Lamont, upon being asked
about the alleged letter of the Presi-
dent to friend in Buffalo endorsing
the Democratic State ticket of New
York, replied that if any such letter
was extant it was forgery, He said
the President had not written any
such an expression of his views would
be unnecessary,--that in the minds OF
sensible people it would not be neces-
sary for a Democratic President To
write letter endorsing the Demo
cratic ticket of his own State. The
only utterance the President has
made on the subject was an answer
which he dictated to Col. Lamont to
be made to an inquiry sent him by q
correspondent, and was as follows:
The President is Democrat, and il
is strange that any person should
question his position. lie earnestly
deires the success of his party in thC
pending elections in New York as else
where, and any assertion to the con
trary is utterly and maliciously false.

what Women Will Wear.

The sheli.like hustle is no longer in
fashion.
Large fiat buttons are the style for
street jackets, Newmarkets are long
ulsters. The fancy for buttons with
old devices is revived.
None but young ladies and brides
should wear hats. The bonnet is the
proper out-of-door head gear for q mar
ried woman, the bride Of year ago,
The little jackets which do not reach
the waist by two or three inches, and
are worn with wide, soft scarfs of col
ored silk by way of girdles, are called
Beatrice.
Three kinds Of wraps are imported
for autumn and winter use, viz, cloth
jackets for general wear, short mantles
for dress occasions, and long cloaks
for comfort.
For trimming plain wool dresses
and wraps are colored mohair gimps
in arched and leaf patterns; also new
braids woven in diamond patterns
and bordered on each edge with gilt
or silver or lead braids.
The English fancy is to use rough
finished cloths for jackets and other
outside garments, but French tailors
prefer smoth cloths even for short and
jaunty jackets, using the rough cloths
merely for borders, collars and cuffs.
The coarse blanket stuffs made uI
in what are called novelty suits are
the first importation. But these have
been the primal show for several sea
sons past and are not snapped up by
the fashion seekers as once they were
Brown and white flecked goods, trim
med with brown braid, are as stylish
as any ready-made suits. For soliC
wear during inclement weather al
dark cloths or fannls are proper.

WASHINGTON, October S.-Secretary
Manning to-day addressed the follow
ing personal letter to Hon. A. B. Par
ker, chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the New York Democratic
State committee, at the Hoffman
douse, New York city;
DEAR SIR 1t is my intention to
go to Albany next month for the pur-
pose of voting the Democratic ticket,
which should and / believe will be
elected. / have no doubt but Presi-
dent Cleveland will do likewise.
While governor Of the State he never
failed to go to Buffalo to exercise this
right, and ! am sure he feels it to be
his duty to do so now. Certainly he
is anxious for the success OF the
ticket headed by Governor Hill, as he
was for the success OF that ticket
which his own name led to victory
three years ago. Sincerely yours,

BESSIE HARpw1cK.s CHOICE.

When old Noah Hardwick was dy-
ing, he willed fortune to his daugh-
ter Bessie, and, calling the weeping
girl to his bedside, he advised her to
make true worth her only standard
when selecting companion to jour
ney with her through life.
Bessie, his only child, was a sweet
and virtuous girl, and the possessor Of
rare abilities. She had lost her moth
er in her infancy, and from that sad
time had been the pet and pride Of
her old fathers heart.
"There are many fortune-hunters
among my sex, Bessie" old Noah
would say, with feeling, "and you will
de well to guard against them. Make
it your aim to shun those who would
only bring you misery in the end. Let
no man deceive you, my child. !
would rather you married the poor
est of my sex, if he be the possessor Of
kind and pure healt, than to be en-.
trapped by and share your wealth with
one who could ever forget his man
hood should dark hour overtake you
in the future. Be true to yourself
Bessie, and all will be we'll"
Have no fears, father, regarding
my future" Bessie sweetly replied
"for / have too much OF your own no
BILE spirit to wed with one whom my
dear father would not approve. Those
who love my gold do not love me, and
they will be the recipients of few ia
vors from Bessie Hardwick."
Old Noah breathed his last, and hi
beautiful daughter was left with ne
earthly protector.
Bessie was only eighteen years o
age when her father died, but, for on,
so young, she possessed a remarkabl,
mind and will-power. Kind-heartet
and lovable, she had friends by tn,
score, and but few of the favored
sought the companionship Of the fai
young girl on account of her riches.
There were among her suffers TIVE
young men for whom Bessie had ten
der regards.
She could not tell even her owl
heart which OF the young men sh
preferred, for she had been so happ,
in their society she took little inter
est in what the future might brinI
forth.

Henry West, whose father died som
years previously, was left pennies
and had widowed mother and a

his home. There she could not fail to
learn the noble character of the son
and brother, and to be assured that
he was truly one of Gods noblemen.
A new and delightful sensation was
creeping into her heart and filling it
to overAowing. She knew that it was
the dawning Of a perfect love, and she
felt that Henry West was worthy her
deepest affection.
William Leonard, believing he>E was
the favored one, proposed for her
hand. Bessie refused him firmly, but
kindly.

will confer your favors ON an express
driver" he said, without thought, in
anger at her refusal.

answered him, with flushed checks

dear ones, deserves the love of any

The humiliated lover could not re-

served, and he left the noble maiden
happy in the thought that she had
not bestowed her love on one so un.

A few weeks after this event, Henry
West received an invitation to attend

A GRANGE or BASE,

Upon the garden gate they swung
When nights were warm and fair,
And pale Diana often flung
Her light upon the pair,
Tonight among the leafless trees
The autumn wind makes moan,
The gate Is swinging in the breeze,
Its rusty hinges groan;
And where are now the youth so gay
And maiden dressed in lawn,
Oh, whittier do their footsteps stray,
Where have the lovers gone?
Go to the parlor warm, go there,
And ask, If you would know,
That double-loaded rocking chair,
That lamp turned down SO low.

turbing causes the Republican candi-

before us there are no dissensions or
chickering's to imperil party success.
AS far as is known, there is perfect
harmony in every district. The ticket
gives entire satisfaction and is in
every way worthy of support. With
out drawing any invidiOus contrast
between this ticket and the ticket
nominated by the opposition, we sub
nit to candid Republican voters
whether there is anything in the
Democratic ticket, that ought to in
duce them to sacrifice the candidates
of their own party, by voting for the
opposing candidates.
