ELEMENTS OF STRENGTH.

Marietta has as many pushing, ener.
getic and intelligent young men as You will
lind in any town of similar size. They are
young men, too. who feel lifes responsible
ties and are not drones in the busy hive of
industry, but are up and doing, still achiev-
ing, still pursuing, with noble aims and
right purposes. With such strong arms,
stout hearts and clear brains, Marietta must
feel the quickening impulse of thrift and
progress. They will instil and infuse new
life into the arteries OF business. Marietta
already has the reputation of being the pref
tiest aud best town in Georgia and must
continue to grow and prosper. Besides
such fine specimens of young men, Mariet-
ia occupies the foremost rank in possessing
the prettiest, sweetest and lovlest girls in
all the land Girls who for rare worth,
modesty, intelligence, beauty and purity,
are unexcelled. They make model wives
and bring sunshine and JOY to the homes
and hearts where they dwell.

You hadn't heard it? Well, you
know last week when every
body was just worn out with staying
in the house and dying to get out for
breath of fresh air, Lula, she ran
over to see me, and we put our wits
to work and decided to get crowd,
as the rain had stopped its pouring,
and take ourselves out to the Ameri-
can marble works. Walk Why,
yes, of course. The boys soon heard
of it and joined us, and we did have
gorgeous time-enjoyed the walk,
and seeing the wonderful machinery,
she huge blocks of marble, the mum

to lower, and then you would have
laughed to have seen us running
down that long hill, anxious for
home and its shelter, but before we
we're in sight Of our coveted haven,
the wind and rain almost prevented
our walking at all, when one OF the
girls in spirit of mischief, says !:

Chicago

All ewes are turned towards Chicago.
Every man feels deep interest in the pro-
csedings Of the convention which is TO as
setnble there to-day, and which will accept
the challenge issued by the st. LOUIS Con-
ven,ion. Every man hes his own notion as
towho will be the nominee.
Naturally the prospective nomination ex-
cites lust now more interest than the ex-
pected platform. The predictions az 10 the
nominee are, however, irreconcilable one
with another.
In 1914 the Democratic National Conyen-
ton dropped the prominent aspirants and
nominated JAMES X. Polk. In 1SiS the
Wing National Convention dropped Hen
RY CLAY and the other leading aspirauts and
nominated General TAYLOR. In 1852 the
Democratic National Convention dropped all
the leading aspirants and nominated FRANK
LIN PIERCE. The party that dropped the
leading aspirsuis won ia each case.
The situation now is somewhat as 1t was
in each OF the years we have named; and
therefore the dark horse may we'll be
groomed and made ready TO put upon the
track.
But who Is the dark horse this Year, We
might say periodically that the dark horse
Of this year is not dark horse at all-cer-
tanly not such a dark horse as Polk or
PIERCE. The dark horse Of 1888 IS JAMES
&. BLAINE, the most popular man ia the
Republican party, and the man who holds
within his grasp majority OF the votes in
the Chicago Convention. lie has only TO
express a willingness 10 accept The honor to
insure him the nomination on the FIRST ballot.
Thus he is = dark horse in new sense not
a horse whose qualities nobody knows, and
who UNEXPECTEDLY wins race for the nomi'
nation, but 8 dark horse whose qualities are
known to all the world. He is, we repeat, a
new kind OF dark horse.
But will Dir. BLAINE be nominated with
out bis consent2 II nominated at all, he
must be nominated without his consent. lie
has said explicitly that as be could not &C.
cepta nomination without subiecting him
self to the charge Of wronging his friends,
he could not accept it at all. That means
that Mr.. BLAINE cannot accept the nomina-
ton unless 1t comes 20 him from the friends
Of all the candidates and without any know
ledge on his part that it was to come.
VIII he accept il all these conditions ex'
ist? 1t seems to us that this is what his
most intimate. confidential friends calculate
upon. The convention must nominate him
and adjourn il 1t would compel him TO
accept THIS 1t will be forced to do II he is
where a cableeram cannot reach him whilst
the convention is in session. But how the
difficulty Is to DO surmeunted II he is within
reach Of the cable we cannot imagine. The
convention cannot adjourn until il has nomi-
mated a candidate for Vice-Presdent.
But how as to the dark horses OF the old
sorti VIII ALLISON, or ALGER, or some
other candidate who commands but few
votes secure the prize? Perhaps so. We
have for some days looked upon ALGER as
the fayOrite OF the Blaineites. DEPEw also
Is looming up.

rr,neror William,s orders.

The orders Of Emperor WILLIAM ii. to
the German army and navy are not re-
assuring, and Il Is unfortunate that they
should have been his FIRST public outgivings
after his accession to the throne. They are
calculated TO produce q bad impression and
would appear 10 lend color to the charge
that he is ambitious OF military renown.
However, II should be remembered that
young WILLIAM has never sought 10 conceal
the fact that the army was his first love. On
the contrary, he has made that fact apparent
even while rcpudiatlng the charge that his
inclinations were Ia the direction OF war.
1t is therefore but justice to him that we
wait until he formally announces his policy
before we attempt TO construe fully the sig
nI6cance OF the orders in question. Had the
orders come from one who did not labor un-
der the misfortune Of shaving bad name"
they might have escaped criticism, save In
so Far as they are couchcd in rather lofty
terms
