We presume there is still Demo
cratic party in the State; and it Is under
stood that the members of that party will
support the nominee of the Gubernatorial
Convention. Yet if we are to get our in
SEPARATION from either the Gordon or Ba-
con press, and their henchmen, we don't
see how honest men can vote for either If
one-tenth Of the abuse of each is true.
We are Disguised with such methods.

One hundred and fifty-one cakes were
baked for the Presidents wedding. There
was brides cake, weighing twenty
pounds, ana one hundred and fifty smaller
cakes, composed of the usual materials
which enter INTO wedding cakes. The
frosting of the brides cake was very
plain, in accordance with the wish Of the
President and his bride In the centre
was monogram composed of the initials
&c. f. occupy ing space four or five
inches in diameter, and raised to about
the same height, which was surrounded
by wreath of orange blossoms. Around
the border was a light but beautifully de-
signed scroll work, and the rest of the
frostng on the top and sides was plain.
When placed upon the table at the White
House it rested In the midst of a garland
of smilax and white roses. The small
cakes were placed in oblong white satin
boxes. Each box was tied with white
ribbon. On the half of one side of each
box was painted by hand the monogram
&C. F." and the date, "June Cd, 1856"
and on the other card on which the
President and his bride wrote their names.
Mr.. Blaine always was unfortunate in
his denials. The evidence of what he has
SAID has an ugly way Of turning up
against him. In denying that he said
what he was reported to have said about
Lord Salisbury, in his speech on Irish
home rule, he is confronted by one of the
best stcnographers in the State of Maine,
who insists that he reported the exact
language of the speech. 1t was perfectly
natural for Mr.. Blaine to make the denial
when his language was criticised. 1t is
only little while since he repudated an
interview on the fisheries question, which
was afterwards authenticated by the other
party to the conversation, and through
long years Of practice he has acquired a
habit of denying things brought up
against him until it has become a second
nature. After all that has occurred in
connection with Arkansas railroads. Null
ligan letters, Hooking Valley mines, and
other matters, his denals ought to excite
no SURPRISE Charleston Ne,cs aud Con-
