Mrs. Leslie Mae Bassett, of Fairfield
Iowa. Mrs. Bassett is graduate Of the
National School of Elocution and Orato.
~, Philadelphia. The press notices oil
her entertainments in different portions
of the country could hardly be more fav-
orable to her than they are. Among these
press notices, we see one which is signed
by Mrs. NJ. F. Beavers, q neighbor in
whom we all recognize the power of In
telligent criticism. Mrs. Beavers writes:
"After listening to Mrs Leslie Bassett.
I was surprised that had been brought
up to such an intensity of interest! moved
to laughter and to tears at the will of the
speaker. So natural and unaffected in
delivery, it is simply delight to listen to
her. Her Rotations are selected with
excellent taste and with q desire. NOT
merely to amuse and entertain, but to el-
evate and bless humanity. She possesses
to high degree the power of facial ex-
preston, devoted to her profession.
Young and enthusiastic, an indescribable
charm surrounds her in her chosen field
OF labor"
Mrs. Bassett will give an elocutionary
entertainment in Opera Hall, Wa-Keeney,
in the evening of Thursday, June Is, un-
der the auspices Of the NJ. E church.
Her variety Of subjects from which to
make selections is almost unlimited. Mn.

will delight all her hearers.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
1T is DONE.

The Democratic party, in national
convention in St. Louis this week,
has nominated Grover Cleveland
for president and Allen G. Thurman
for vice president.
The details of the convention
consist largely Of such state
ments as that D. W. VOORHEES, en-
tered the hall amid great applause.
All the reasonable interest in the
affair was in the fight between Gray,
of Indiana, and Thurman, of Ohio.
for the vice presidential nomination
The Gray forces went into camp
as it were, in St. Louis, with the un-
derstanding that their man would
be nominated without any difficulty
They did not believe that Thurman
would consent to the use OF has
name in connection with that can
didacy. Alas! They were deceived.
Perhaps outside Of high Democratic
channels, the reason why Thurman
was placed in the field is yet un-
known. 1t was reported that Cleve-
land had given it out that he desired
that Thurman be nominated. OF
course, the Democracy owes Thur
man a debt Of gratitude for party
services; but it is not clear that any
serious notion of paying the debt
had been entertained. This STAN
pede, then, to Thurman probably
meant that the Democratic man
ayers had determined that Thurman,
as the nominee for vice president,
could carry the electoral vote of
Ohio, while Indiana, by some meth
cd, could be carried for the Democ-
racy anyhow. The move was cow
ardly stab at Governor Gray. As a
Republican, we are not sorry that it
was made. Judge Thurman can
not carry Ohio, and Indiana, we are
pretty sure, will. now elect the Re
publican electoral ticket. The fact
is, the state is Republican now, as
the present delegation in congress
shows conclusiyely.
The nominees for president and
vice president were named before
the platform was adopted. We have
not yet received a copy Of that pre-
cious document.
