Of the party TO permit his name to come before
choose between such meritorious and
able gentlemen. Their names nre

but when Allen g. Thurman, the favorite son Of
each and every State In this Union, In answer
to the universal demand for his acceptance,
consents to leave the peace and tranquility Of

Mistakes ore crimes. II you but
do your duty, II you but give the
mand, the contest Of parties, instead OF just
commencing, will be practically ended; for tho
great electoral and popular maiorities,
which Cleveland and Thurman will receive ut
the polls, will be revelation even to ourselves.
As representatives Of the Democracy of the M.

No trifling with great concerns of State should

Broad ground must be taken. The man OF the
nation, not the man OF the State, must be nomi-

gized the Administration Of President Cleve.
land as having triumphantly justified his cleo.
tion The Democracy now stood on the edge
Of another and perhaps greater costest, with q
relation to the electors not held before for o
generation--that Of responsibility for the great
trust of Government no longer critics, but crit
icised. They were confronted by willy, un-
scrupulous and desperate foe. There would be
no blot on the record that would not be magni-
fed into a blot, no circumstances not tortured
and msreprcsented, no disappointment not ex.
aggerated into revolt no class or creed 1t
would not be sought to infiame, no passion not
attempted to rouse, no fraud that would not be
willingly perpetrated
But the appeal OF the Democratic party is not
to passion or to prejudice, to class or faction or
. race OF creed, but to the sound common sense
the interest, the intelligence and patriotism Of
the American people. Upon their matchless
record for the last four years and upon their
earnest efforts, as yet incomplete, TO reduce and
equalize the burdens of taxation, the Demo-
Gratis enter the canvass. General Collins closed
by appealing to the patriotic independent cit
izens, who four years ago forsook their old al
legiance and who since that time have nobly
sustained the Administration, to remember that
IL is afatal error to weaken apolitical organiza-
tion by which great reforms have been achieved,
and risk them In the hands OF their known adj
versaries. The Democratic temple is open to
all; and II in council thoy could not agree in all
things, their motto nevertheless was: "In es.
sentials unity; in non.essentials, liberty; in oil
things, charity"
At the conclusion Of his speech Mr.. Collins
was ngain roundly and warmly greeted. The
gentlemen selected to represent the various
States as vice-Presidents then proceeded to
take seats upon the platform, while the band
played On inspiring air.

When Turk dies. the relatives are
forbidden to weep, but rather rejoice
that saint has reached Paradise; SO
tears are quickly suppressed. nomatter
how hearts may ache. As soon as
breath has quilted a body. the profess
sional dresser Of the dead is sent for.
and a most thorough system of cleans
ing carried out The body is then
wrapped in winding-sheet outside
of which tho clothes Of the person are
placed. Then very frail wicker or
thin board coffin is brought, and into
this the body is laid. and sometimes
even before 1t is fairly cold it is car
ried to the cemetery and buried. The
graves are very shallow. not over two
feet decp A coin is put into the mouth
of the dead person to pay his passage
across the 'river Of death" The rea-
son Of the frail collins and the shallow
grave is that the body may decay more
quickly, as it is thought that the soul
will go wandering around and not be
able to enter the abode of the blest as
long as any flesh remains ON the bones.
Men only are supposed to inherit
Paradise. women having an inferior

HOW coNcREssMEN DRESS.
Only Ia Few Are Extravagant, and
Very Little JeweIry is Worn.
IN. Y. Tribune.l


Probably the most extensively dressed
man In the House is Farmer" John E.
Russell, of Massachusetts, whose sheep rose
to almost the dignity of national issue in
the tariff debate. Mr.. Russell knows good
wool when he sees it,and has almost as great
weakness for fine goods as woman has for
handsome silks. Last winter he wore suit
which cost him the modest trife of $50
and his summer "toilet" was diaphanous
silk pongee, for which he paid his tailor
$50. The average member Of the House
does not spend an extravagant sum for
dress, but the Senators as rule are more
liberal and more particular about
their attire. You can always pick out an
eastern man by his neat and well-ftting suit
which i generally three or four button
cuIaway: Inc western man goes In for a
sack coat and seldom buttons 1t, while the
Southern affects a Prince Albert. The East
ern man Is particular about his neckwear.
the S0utherner wears that abominable thing,
a white tie In daytime, and the Western man
Is happier without any at all.
1t Is q noticeable thing that very little
jewelry Is worn in Congress. Occasionally
you Will catch the flash of diamond but
you will see more in five minutes in the
Hoffman House bar than you will by talking
to members Of Congress for week. Repre-
sentative Fisher. of Michigan, who dozen
years ago was peddling milk from cart.
and whose wealth today is limited by seven
figures, heads the list with large dia-
mend stud of the purest water Perry

Of the year, has become a congressional in
stitution almost "rim" Campbell reioices
10 big diamond cluster shirt pin, and Gen.
Spinola Is never seen without an emerald
shirt pin, set with diamonds; but these are
the exceptions, and the majority OF members
wear little or no jewelry. And less is worn
In the Senate, especially by the very rich
men.-[N. Y. Tribune.
