that after beating the Republicans when

The St Louis Convention will show $
stone contrast 10 that of Chicago as Il e

success after twenty years Of strife, and
il only needs 10 use the moral courage TO
give the enemy regular Waterloo in the

Gun Cotton In IL Eiaze.

Gun cotton constitutes the best military
explosive known. for. while its explosive
force vastly exceeds that OF gunpowder and
approaches that OF nitro-gycerine, it ia the
safest and most stable explosive we possess
since it can Toe stored and transported wet
and while in this state, though 1t may be de
tonated, it cannot be exploded in any other
way AZ much as two thousand pounds OF
wet compressed gun cotton have been placed
in fierce bonfire, where it has gradually
dried, layer by layer, and been consumed
without exploding. Besides, gun cotton is
the only military explosive which can be
detonated with certainty when frozen.
