violently opposed to each other. 1t was
said that Mr.. Bell did not want his old
enemy to have the honor of receiving the
President at his house, so he delayed start
ing the procession and kept the President
waiting half,hour so that he would have
no time for the reception at his enemy's
house. The President defeated the little
game by leaving the reviewing stand before
The procession was over, and after a brief
hand shaking departed for Washington. II
was anything but day Of mourning. In
the afternoon 10000 people attended one
base ball game and $4,000 another; $4,000
went down to see Buffalo Bill and there
were over $4,000 at the different beer
gardens and outside resorts; 10000 went to
the horse races, and thousands more TO the
yacht races, excursions and pic-nics. Busi-
ness was more generally suspended than l
haYe seen 1t for many years, and to the
honor of our Jewish population be 1t re-
corded that scarcely Jewish place of bus-
ness was open, unless it was some outcast
who never went TO school even on the Day
of Atonement, and who would not be ac-
knowledged as son of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob inside the Synagogue.
The departure Of the clans for st. Louis
has been one of the events of the week.
People constantly hear Of the doings of the
Tammany braves as IL they were the only
Democrats alive in New York. There is a
section here known as the County Demo
cracy which made fur fly when they bid lis
goodbye for st. Louis. Conspicuous in
the delegation was the Colonel Michael G.
Murphy Association, which had several
special cars. Our minds are easy as to
their return, for 1t Is evident from the list
of the larder that they are not going to
perish by the wayside. For even If there
should be a famine in st. Louis om boys
haYe enough of meat and drink to land
them safely back on the banks of the
Hudson and in the city of Gotham. Here
is q list of the creature comforts carried
Read and ponder and reflect that with such
a delegation prohibition is still far off;
Twelve cases of Heidsieck, six cases of
Mumm, six cases of Cliquot, four cases of
Holland gin, four dozen of brandy, twelve
dozen of Blue Grass sour mash rye whiskey,
six dozen of Bourbon whiskey, FIVE barrels
of Dublin stout, fifteen kegs of Milwaukee
lager, five dozen Santa Cruz rum, four
dozen of Jamaica rum, two dozen of
Angostura bitters, fifty bottles Of cordials,
twelve dozen of Apolinaris water, four
boxes of lemons, cases of corned beef in
cans, twenty Elm City hams, five cases OF
chicken in cans, boned turkey, ten boxes OF
crackers, ten boxes of pilot bread, fifty
boxes of segars, 200 pounds of sugar, and
enough of other creature comforts to las
them and their friends till the convention
is over. This is the larder record Of s
heard from. Hoorah for the Mike Murph,
, Association Freedom still lives and tn,
country is safe. That is to say, it is safe 4
nothing happens.
,, A cloud no bigger than mans hand il
