riding with my folks this afternoon, and no old whelp like you need have any call to be ashamed of her. She wouldn't do discredit to the White House, old man. 1 write this to you, so you may not worry about Charley, for 1 will see him through. Of course, it IS not right to elope, but you ought to have thought of that thirty years ago, when you stole the last girl man had, and who made you a good wife, though she worked herself to death raising children for you to go back on. I notice you didn't let any old folks saw off on to you any wife you didn't want. We'll, Charley is here, and we are going out to tramp for job of mule punching. Ifyou come down to the convention next week, come up to the house, and we will go over and see Charley and his wife, and take dinner with them. You have no call to be any meaner than nature intended you, and you can go over and be introduced as friend of mine. l'll bet you ten dollars you'll fall in love with Char ley's wife at first sight. By the way, 1 enclose you a photograph of the girl Charley married. l stole it out of her satchel. I wouldn't wonder if we took Charley and his wife to Chicago, to attend the opera, the last of the week, as she is fond of music, and no slouch of singer herself. Telegraph me if you come down to the conven- tion. Your friend

 The letter went off that evening, and about ten o'clock the next morn- ing I received the following telegram ::

 went over and told Charley and his wife what l had written, and the answer I had received. She thought l had spread it on rather thick about her beauty and accomplishments, but Charley didn't. The next day the old man came, and I had the pleasure of introducing him to his new daughter, and he was the tickledest father in the state. It was question which was the proudest of the girl, Charley, or his father, or me. He wanted to be around with them all the time, and he carried her satchel, and helped her on with her cloak, and looked ten years younger. He went home first and arranged the house, and they have been keeping house for him ever since, and only few days ago he was tell ing me that my grandchildren were all right enough, and all that, but that I ought to see his grandchildren, and l am going up in the pine country some day to see them. He said the only objection he had to the children was that Charley and his wife had named one of them after me, because l got them out of that elopement so nicely. And that is the story I was reminded of by seeing that nice young couple of elopers at the hotel the other day.

1t should be interpreted according to the
is said to have been satisfactory to German
and to Watterson as well. But whether il
was satisfactory to these distinguished
Democrats Of conflicting views was of little
consequence, provided twas satisfactory to
Grover Cleveland. The convention was
practically called together to officially pro-
claim Mr.. Cleveland the candidate, after he
had been nominated by himself, to select a
candidate for Vice President that should
meet his approval, and to construct plat.
form on condition that no timber should be
used in it unless it had first been submitted
to Grover Cleveland and received his appro-
baton. The convention appears to have
done as 1t was told, and with some show of
enthusiasm. AS far as any practical value
is concerned it might just as well have
omitted the platform altogether. 1t was put
in simply as matter Of form. Cleveland is
candidate and platform combined. He is
centre of the Democratic system and the
whole party revolves around him. From
him they draw their life and breath, and it
is he that imbues them with their ideas on
all important questions. Cleveland is for
free trade, and SO for free trade the Democ-
racy must be whether they like free trade or
not What they may say in their resolutions
is of no sort Of consequence. just now
Cleveland is the party.

Mr.. Thurman's nomination will undoubt-
eddy be used by Mr.. Sherman's friends to in
duce the Republican convention to nominate
the Senator on the ground that Thurman's
nomination will jeopardize Ohio to a
sufficient extent to make it imperative to
take the Republican candidate from that
State. Ohio, however, has for a great many
years given large Republican majority in
Presidential years. This year the assault of
the Democratic House on one of the princi-
pie industries OF the State ensures Repub-
lican majority larger than for many years
past, no matter who may be the candidate of
the Republicans, and the selection of Thur
man, were he ever so popular in his State.

tion of the Old Roman creates no impera-

all. Any good Republican protectionist

Most conspicuous and interesting of the
public speakers who have addressed Maine
audiences the last year has been the yener-
able Hannibal Hamlin. On two recent occa-
sions the people Of Portland have had the
rare opportunity Of seeing and hearing the
man who won with Abraham Lincoln the
great victory Of 1860, and who is one of the
few survivors of the Republican leaders Of
the civil war. Had he been allowed to carry
out his own intentions the people OF Portland
would have had an opportunity to hear him
once more, on an occasion which would have
rekindled the fires Of his youth and brought
back memories Of no common times and
events. But it was left to him to mako his
farewell speech on most appropriate occa-
sion,-the Memorial Day exercises at Els
worth. The concluding words of that adj
dress were these:

correspondent of the Springfield Union
wants some light in regard to Judge Gresh-
ans views in regard to the tariff. He says
that recently the Home Market Club of Bos-
ton, IN order to draw out his opinions on the
tariff invited him to come to Boston, and a
most pointed -ence was made in the
invitation as to the desire of the club to know
how he stood upon the tariff. In his reply
Judge Gresham made no allusion whatever
to the tariff question, so that organization is
as ignorant as it was previously concerning
his views. The writer evidently fears that
Judge Gresham is not sound enough on pro-
lection to make an available candidate for the
Republicans this year. 1t must be borne in
mind however that Mr.. Gresham is Judge on
the bench. His refusal to address the Home
Market Club or to write letter on subject
semi-political may therefore be due simply
to feeling that while holding position on
the bench it would be unbecoming for him
TO engage actively in politics.
