Scott posed as representing tae aunltnis-
tratiou, He is received at tho White
House.
Mrs. Cleveland came to hear his tariff
| speech in the house. The people in Penn
s~ylyania were deceived by all this to
think that he has unlimited power in the
distribution of patronage. They alirushed
to get something in the convention, and
the gag was applied. 1t was a sorry day
forthe Democracy of Pennsylvania. They
viii hear from it in November. They
cannot control my action in congress; ]
told them SO. The convention was the
most outrageous exhibition ever wit
messed in Pennsylvania. There was never
anything like it."
He said much more, all going to show
the intensity of his feelings. He said
they told him that he could go to the
national convention If he would promise
to vote for the Mills bill. This he de-
clined to do, and they slaughtered him.
Mr.. Randall, who has had considerable
experience in the ups and downs of politi-
cal life, as usual made no display Of his
feelings, though he had no hesitation in
saying that he did not like the result.
He thought Mr.. Scott had made a mistake,
and that the convention had made an
equally bad one In following him, but he
did not expect them to find it out all at
once.
Among the members there was little
belief of the genuineness of the platform,
and the whole comment was upon SCOTS
ability to whip the party SO thoroughly
into the support of what they obviously
did not believe.

WHY soWpEN WAS SLAUGHTERED
He lifts the Curtain on Pennsylvania
Famous Convention.

While Mr.. Scott was expected to boss
the Pennsylvania convention, the ease
with which his Cleveland machine did its
work was the subject Of o great deal of
comment at Washington. Scott explained
frequently and with evident qualification
that the affair was simply an Endorsement
of Mr.. Cleveland and his policy by the IN
hindered enthusiasm of the Pennsylva-
mans. He saw nothing else In it, he said.
and naturally was averse to charging any
of it to his own ''bossism." The fact of
the matter which he did not express was
that Mr.. Cleveland had turnea ovcr to
him the entire administration patronage.
and that the party had notprinciplee enough
to refuse the basas.
Mr.. Sowden was indignant over the re.
suit. "Mad" goes only d little way to-
ward expressing his feelings
'tThere has been no Democratic conven

sash weights from Tin Cans.

There is no secret about the process.
The only thing is to have a proper sized
furnace and to get up a sufficient heat.
Tho business has developed of late, but
manufacturers say the margin of profit is
small. 1t costs more to melt the scraps
than common iron. Chips ready for the
furnace cost ST. a ton. The sash weights
produced are Of a superior quality. The
business is, like the case of cid rubber, an
illustration of the use of waste material.
The tin can companies and other manu-.
facturers of tin goods formerly dumped
hundreds of tons into space, but now
these scraps are utilized, and theirrespon-
sible small boy works the ash fields to his
profit in companionship with the blithe-
some goat.-Commercial Bulletin.
