GRAND -FOUR DAYS. REMNANT SALE,

Which will eclipse in its i'm
portance to our customers any
previous sale of this charac-
ter. During the enormous
Christmas trade-the largest
of our history-it was inevi-

ordered; so we propose to

cause their instant disposal.
Not having had a Remnant
Sale for two weeks past, the

odd sizes, broken lots, etc,
is exceptionally large, hence
strenuous efforts will be made
during the next four days to
completely rid the stocks of
this accumulation by Offering
extraordinary inducements in

In order to make, this Four Days Remnant
Sale dOubly attractive, we shOll include:

The long delay In the promulgatlon of
Cleveland's letter of acceptance is now
directly charged to the alarm of himself
and his party advisors over the effect OF
democratic free trade uttersnces. He Is
wait ng sos an opportunity to ret. eve a
palpsble blund,r Fad the opportunity
does not come and probably will Dot.
The tariff message end the Mills bill,
purely democratic creations, stand as q
menace to the industrial elements of the
country end their au.hos hip is 80 clear
ly tracesble to administration sources
that the effect cannot be overcome,
whatever Mr.. Cleveland may say in his
letter accepting nomination rendered
upon free trade platform. Efforts OF
democratic orators to convince the pub
lie that the democratic party is not q
free trade party do not convince. The
millions of copies of free trade speeches
sent out by the democratic committee
overturn this plea. It's too late tc
change base. The republican party ia
willing to face the Issue and f yht 1t oul
on that line.

On the evening of the 25th OF July
Professor Harden, candidate for con-
gress on the dem ocratic ticket, opened
the campaign in Yankton. On Saturday
afternoon he opened 1t again at Sioux
Falls aud In the evening it was once
more opened. The campaign is some
wha. c5sss.;Sssse and refuses to stay open.
After these three manifestations We ex-
pect to hear Of the professor opening the
campaign at sundry places aud various
times throughout Dakota. At Yankton
he said it was appropriate that the first
gun be fired in the oldest city. at Sioux
Falls he did not refer &c the gun In
words, but merely pulled it Oft. His
speech was the same speech he deliver
ed in Yankton, with the exception of
the omission of his Yankton reference
to division and statehood, In which he
declared himself to be one state man /.
It is evident that he is also one speech
men. Now that the campaign has had
succession Of openings IL is probable
that something else will come next.

sherman at sheridan ssrave.

Washington special: After the re-
mains OF General Sheridan were laid to
rest in mound ca tlle crest of Arlington
at 2 O'Clock this aiteInooa and the firing
squad took their position, grand scene
was presented to the large concourse
present. General Sherman, the last of
three great commapders in the late war
on the union eide, took the colors, and,
unconscious that he was to be the central
figure of the occasion, stepped aside
from the grave short distance, and,
leening against the flag stsff, gazed
meditatively and for several minutes
upon the work of the artillery. Round
after round was fired and the old war
hero. with no one near him, stood out
like silhouette against the southwest
ern sky, his profile being as finely out
lined as bass relief in marble. For
several minutes he attracted the atten.
tion of the vast multitude. and often
wele his recent words relating to the
early death of Grant and Sheridan
quoted. Undoubtedly the old man was
sonjuring again in his mind the problem
as to why he, the Oldest of the trio,
should be left so stand by the graves oil
his eminent comrades in arms.
