THE EXPLANATION IS SIMPLE.

It will be in order for Splain to explain what business he and John J. Clerkin, Town Agent Reynolds clerk, had ill Meri- den.-New Haven Union.
 We didn't think you would care to know, Ananias, but since you do we'll tell you. We were there to run down story about When, before the congressional nomination was made, the finger of success seemed pointed in the direction of Mir Pigott, you said to representative citizen of the dis trict-a man whose simple word would be taken in preference to your oath-"If Pig ott gets the nomination I'll resign my com mission, and then, by Cd, we'll see who will be elected" And when you went to that gentleman and tried, in your buster ing and impudent way, to bluff him into a denial of it, you found that he wasn't to be bluffed. He had met bulldogs before, and he wasn't afraid of terrier. You may have been, in your own expressive yer nacular, crazy when you said it-a good many will readily accept this estimate of yourself-but you said it fll the same.
 And yet you talk of pure democracy and straight politics-you who have been mixed up with every piece of crooked political business in New Haven for years you whom even your heelers will hardly trust out of their sight, you whom every ole suspects and no one trusts, you whose whole political career can be summed up in the eleoant words which YOU once let loose on convention, "I go the whole hog or none." Pure politics from your lips, straight democracy from your mouth, is like prayer from the tongue of the devil. From man who has ranged the whole terri tory of politics, who has taken slice from

BELvA ANN LOCKWOOD is made of the stuff that marks philosophers. She takes her defeat gracefully and in commenting on the result said Ut makes little differ ence to me which of the two candidates is elected, and think that it will make but little difference to the country. Both par ties are for tariff reduction, only in lit tie different way" When asked if she would ever run for the presidency again she answered "No, but our party will make better showing. We know enough now to have an organization in each state and set the machine in operation" It may be remarked, en passant, that Belva Ann is no spring chicken.

every conceivable political ism that ever had treasury, and that has turned up from his acrobatic in fat government position, the talk of straight politics is piece of effrontery' that should bring the blush of shame to the cheek of Mark Meddle or Uriah Hecp.
 That "one of the first official acts of President Harrison" according to the Middletown Herald, twill be to remove Alex Troup" will be accepted by the dem ocracy of Connecticut the greatest ray of comfort it can extract from the down fall of President Cleveland. A man who would elevate to office such creatures as Troup could expect but scant confidence or backing from the American people.

HOW THEY RECEIVE INTERVIEWERs

Belva Lockwood is charmingly agreeable object for the interviewer.
 Mrs Hendricks, widow of the late vice president, does not regard the appearance oi the interviewer as any intrusion.
 Mrs. John A. Logan endures the agony i'm posed by the interviewer with more com placency than any other woman in the United States
 The Countess Bozenta, or she who is better known as Mime. Helena Modjeska, receives the interviewer under protest, and that with Q considerable exhibition of languor. Sh' lets him do pretty much all the talking, and then if the slightest naccuracy appears sh' attacks him savagelT n an open letter to hi paper.

THE RED BANDAUA

We believe in thaa part of Belvu's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the demand that every husband buy a Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our land No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin, Boardman & Gray, Baus, and Wilcox SS White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of a manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago. Call and examine stock.

TIL GILMORE COSCERTs.
Two Brilliant Programmes Well Rem
dcred

The long .looked.for Gilmore's Band
struck Richmond Yesterday and, II may
be said, captured the city The music
rendered by this organization il all it is
cracked up TO be, aud the enthusiasm of
yesterdays audiences proved with what
rclishcs they sat through the program
mes Whilst not as heavy as the even
ing's programme, the malinee selections
were popular and melodious, and every
one was struck with the mastery rendi-
ton of the Second Hungarian Rhap-
sodie, originally written by the Wizard
LisZi for the pianO-forte. and arranged
expressly for GilmOre's Band 1t is an
artistic achievement, this arrangement Of
piano forte fantasias for a military band.
Signor Lib'rati. the cornctist, was
warmly received at both matinee and
evening per ormances.
The nights programme was a massive
one, and ii is hard TO know just where
and what % say in discussing the selec-
tions so cmineutly beautiful If partial.
ijy must b, shown let il be 10 the Tam
hauscr and William Tel oyerlures, the
the Walkurc music and the qualtette Of
French horns. ln all OF these numbers
the band showed what fine shading, exc.
cution. and grouping of sound it l. capa-
ble of, and the deXtcrily with which the
picColos. flutes, and clarincis played The
trying violin parts were wonderful.

audience
That Gr0te>que piece played after the

trOl by Asche To the crowded house
Of last evening Nr Gilmore made some
happy well timed remarks about his last
visit 10 Richmond in 80 and a fayorile
old tune which he played at that lime,
and which he wished 10 repeat, viz ::
Garry me back TO old Virginia. This old
melody struck responsive chord in the
audience which didn't die away until the
concert closed with the cldng of anyils
and boom of cannon in The great Anvil
Chorus.
The vocal artists. especially Signor
Tagliapicra and Sis0orina Carlolla, made
linc impressions and added much to The
finish Of The concerts.
Mr Gilmore visit was q grand sue
cess, financially and mus.caliy, and il il
to be hoped that ne will not stay away
from Richmond long ere another visit.
