Organized Democracy at Work.

The way in which business is con-
Quoted at the National Democratic
headquarters in this city gives satisfac.
ton to every competent observer. 1t
moves like clock work. 1t is evident
that it is under the direction of men
accustomed to the practical manage.
ment of business affairs on a large
scale. Chairman Brice seems to be
familiar with all the details that are
brought under his notice, and he often
astonishes local politicians by his
knowledge of matters pertaining to
their special interests. Every man
who visits headquarters finds 1t easy
to transact his business without cir
cumlocution or waste of time. Yet
Chairman Brice, is constantly making
new arrangements to facilitate the
great work of the campaign. and it
looks as though nothing that can be
done to secure success would be left
undone. The organization of the
Democratic party for the presidential
canvass of this year is excellent, and
the party is to be congratulated on the
fact.

More Melon Lore.
From the New Sun.

Recently the Sun told how to pre-
pare watermelon SO that it may be
eaten to the best advanta ge. The
scheme was to tap the fruit and pour
in certain quantity of liquor and
then place the melon on ice allowing
it to remain long enough to thoroughly
absorb the infused liquid. A con-
nolsseur tells OF a similar device for
preparing oranges. Cut the fruit into
small pieces and over each layer
sprinkle powdered sugar. Then pour
upon the dish quantity of sherry to
suit the tase. The wine will impart a
delicious flavor.

salsbury,s Troubadours.

Salsbury's Troubadours are deservedly
popular with that class of theater goers
who enjoy side splitting farces made up of
ridiculous situations, fun provoking dIa-
logue and popular songs, with just enough
OF a plot to create an excuse for giving a
name to the melange of comedy and song.
Hummin0 Bird is equal to Three of a
KIND or any other of the broad burlesques
that have established the Troubadours in
popular favor. Nellie McHenry is still
the bright particular star, and she has lost
non of the v~ivacity that originally made
a place for her on the stage. She sets the
people to laughing every time she APP
pears, and the immense audiences are
10th to part with her at any time during
the performance. Miss McHenry lis not
the whole OF the show, however. The en-
tire company is competent to handle the
various parts of the play. The singing
and the costuming of the lady members
are exceptionally fine. This company ap-
pears here Saturday evening.

IN THREE
BUSINESS BEGUN,
The Convention Effects a Temporar,
ORGANIZATION,

Precisely at 1881 the gavel of Chairman
Jones, chairman of the national republi-
can committee, sounded sharply upon the
mahogany desk and tie Republican CON
vention of 1888 was formally opened.
The hum of conversation ceased through
out the vast auditorium and the buzz of
expectation gave place to impressive
silence. The chairman introduced Rev.
Frank W. Gunsaulus of Chicago. who
opened the proceedings with prayer.
At the conclusion of the prayer Chair
man Jones announced that the secretary,
Mr.. Fessenden of the national committee
would read tho call for the convention,
issued by the national committee. Allu-
sions in the call to the position of the
party upon the tariff question, to the de-
termination of the party to have a fair
decision and honest count and other sail
ent points were warmly applauded by the
convention. Upon the conclusion of the
reading of the call Chairman Jones
stepped to the front OF the platform and
spoke as follows:
Chairman Jones' speech.
The Republican party may well be con-
kihtuidOSu thlOuSh u representatives mere
assembled upon the suspicious prospect
that lies before it. Wise and courageous
action by this convention will surely lead
to victory in the campaign in which we
are about to enter. There can be no
doubt as to which side the great majority
of votes will fall if the party be tried by
its record; if the grand achievements OF
the Republican party be appreciated and
the utter failure of the Democratic party
be understood. The two parties are dia-
metrically opposed to each other-one
favors progression the other retrogression;
one lifts up, the other casts down. Thanks
to Cleveland and his Southern allies the
Democratic party has thrown off the dis
| guise in which it heretofore fought its
battles in the Northern states and boldly
declared for British free trade and
AGAINST AMERICAN PROTECTION.
This avowal caused much adulation in
certain sections of this country and in all
| England, which has from the beginning
been hostile to the industrial progress Of
| the United States, but it has fallen heavi
ly upon the ears of the patriotic portion
Of the Democratic party. However, we
must not expect that there is an end of

TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION.
Iohn Thurston Makes a Big Speech on
Taking the Chair.

Chairman Jones then introduced j. s.
Thurston of Nebraska as temporary chair
man Of the convention. Delegate Osborne
of Kansas objected to the, assumption on
the part of the national committee OF
the right to name a temporary chairman
and asked if Thurston had been elected BY
the convention. Chairman Jones replied
in an emphatic affirmative, for which he
was ~emphatlcally applauded, but Osborne
was not to be subdued, and in the name
of the Kansas delegation declined to be
responsible for the action of the national
committee in this matter and regarded it
as a great mistake. Misses. He de-
sired the roll of states called in order that
the Kansas delegation might cast its
vote for Hon. VIM. Warren. No atten-
ton was paid to his demand however. and
Thurston Immediately began his address.
Thurston's Speech.
Gentlemen Of the Contention: l am
deeply sensible of the distinguished honor
you have conferred upon me as presiding
officer of your temporary organization. 1
am also mindful of the grave responsible
ties Of the position, and if they are sue
cessfully met it will be due to the contin-
uance of your generous favor and the be-
stowal of your loyal assistance. l have
no words in which to fittingly express my
heartfelt appreciation of your confidence.
| thank you, gentlemen, not for myself
alone, but for that great and growing
West which never ~disappoints the expec-
tations of the Republican party. In VIC
tory and defeat. in sunshine and in storm,
in prosperity and adversely, this mighty
West retains the courage of its convic-
tions and holds that devotion to principle,
though it brings defeat, is better than sue
cess achieved by broken VOWS and
POLITICAL DIsHoNoR.
When the Democratic party at the
close of the last presidential election
robbed us of victory honestly and fairly
won, we patiently waited for the certain
coming of the Justice of the years. We
hoped and believed that 1888 would right
the national wrong of 1SS4-right it not
only for the Republican party but also for
the grand and glorious candidates whose
names were the inspiration Of that won
derful campaign. The infinite wisdom of
an all wise Providence has otherwise de-
creed. One of them, the citizen soldier,
the warrior statesman, the Black Eagle
of Illinois, has been summoned by the
silent messenger to report to his old com
mander beyond the river, but although
John A. Logan is dead in body, yet he
lives again in the illuminated pages OF his
country's
MOST SPLENDID HISTORY.

dishonest pretenses; deceit, f~allacies and
sophistries will again be resorted to and
practiced. Therefore we should have a
platform based on true Republican prin-
clples, free from equivocation or ambigu-
ity, and should nominate candidates who
are the embodiment of these principles.
The founders of this government said
that it was absolutely essential for self
preservation that the original thirteen
states should become united for the pur-
pose of protection and defense against
alien acts and influences as well as for
economical and effective government.
One of the first acts of the federal gov
eminent was to provide for revenue and
for the protection of the industrial
INTERESTS OF THE COUNTRY.
All our early presidents, from Wash
lngton to Jefferson inclusive, advocated
tariff for revenue and for protection. All
great and patriotic statesmen of those
days conceded in this policy. No man of
note who was a lover of his country, down
to Jackson's first term, entertained and
expressed doubts as to the constitutional
lty or policy of protecting the Industries
OF the United States against foreign com
petition. The Republican party ~vanquish-
ed the Democratic party, passed the
homestead law, destroyed slavery, elevat-
ed ''mudsiIls," restored the credit. re-
deemed the country and started it anew in
the lines contemplated by the fathers.
Through the criminal folly of certain pro-
fessed Republicans and by fraud and du-
plicity on the part of the Democratic par
ty our honored and gallant standard bear
ers in 1884 were defeated. Fortunately
Tor the country we still have the benefit
of
WISE LAWS PASSED
by the Republican party and still have a
majority in the senate of the United
States, which majority have prevented un-
wise legislation. We are again confronted
with the same Democratic party, mother
of all evil from which this country has
suffered, asking for power to control and
direct the future course and we find the
same element which first led it astray by
malignant influences and dominated it
down to the grevious days of the rebellion
again IN full control of its affairs. If the
majority of American voters favor the
giving away OF a home market, incompar-
ably the best in the world, and the forcing
of our people, now
THE MOST PROSPEROUS
and happy on the face of the earth into
competition down to the level of the
cheapest, poorest and most miserable of
our foreign rivals, the Democratic reac
tionary doctrines will prevail. IF not the
Republican party will resume its authority
and successfully lead this great country
with its beneicent institutions toward that
sublime goal which all parties believe is It's
heaven ordained destiny. | have no
doubt of the result.

A SUPERB SCENE.
Convention Hall StrikingIy Decorated for
the Occasion. A..

CHICAGO, June 19.-When Chairman
Jones of the national Republican commit.
tee assembled the platform of the great
auditorium hall at noon to call the nation
al convention to order, he looked upon a
scene unparalleled in the history of public
gatherings in this country. Large assem-
blages have been held in more spacious
halls, but at none of them have the pecu-
liar properties been so effective, or the
brilliancy of illumination and picturesque
colorings so splendid. Every face can be
seen without an effort and an audience OF
less than ten thousand seems to be an
almost countless multitude. The magnifi
cent sweep of the great gallery which seats
nearly three thousand is a picture which
impresses even those familiar with great

Subsequent Events.

Thurston's speech was delivered with a
resonant voice and could be heard all over
the hall. He was continually interrupted
by applause. His references to Blaine's
refusal to allow himself to be nominated
by the convention called forth cries of
mo; no" all over the hall, but his de-
claration that the convention dare not
commit the offense of going contrary to
Blaine's expressed wish vas wildly ap.
plauded, although his references to Blaine
