to be chairs of this kind on the Pennsyi-

oneself away in it. We know Of people

The Best Kind of Convention.


The EUening Journal takes particu-
lar offense at the assertion that the
Democratic City Convention was one
ofSthe best that ever sat in this city.
1t is characteristic in the Journal to
quarrel with the truth.
Everybody who saw the convention
or who considered its makeup knows
we'll that it was a highly represent
ative body. 1t was represe ntative
Of all elements of the people
with the best element in
the ascendant. 1t was-well let us
say the full equal of the Republican
Convention in the character and
standing of the delegates, and far
ahead of it in public spirit. .
1t was an honor to be nominated by
such q convention, and the endorse
ment thereof was a long step towards
success at the polls. 1t was united in
sentiment. too, and animated with
enthusiasm, and when it put Mr..
Cleveland in the field it did SO with
the intention of electing HMM
which respect it differed from the
Republican Convention, which put up
Mr.. Perkins for a bluff,

Gilbert Collins and the Rev. NJ
Scudder On the same platform with
such political outcasts as ex-Judge
Rankin and G. d. J.. Noelke. That
Mr.. Collins is a gentleman and q man
OF honor nobody could venture to
question. We have the highest re-
spect for Mr.. Scudder's Christian zeal.
1t is simply an insoluble enigma to
us that they would countenance for
partisan purposes fellows on whom all
honest politicians have turned their
backs.
IT is pretty plain that if Mr.. Perkins
should be elected DR.. Pangborn will
be Mayor. The alleged candidate is
simply the Doctors marionette. The
Doctor turns a crenk and the phono-
graph inside the m~arionette grinds
out an Eoening Journal editorial

want the Eoendng Journal to run it as

To Protect the Hair.
OF nothing is a woman prouder than
of her fine growth of luxuriant hair.
1t may be the silken chestnut brown,
the bright golden strands or the shin
ing black tresses. Some tell us not to
wasl the hair, as it makes it dry and
hatsh. | can hardly imagine a thing
more horrible than a dirty head. By
all means cleanse the scalp, give it a
good shampoo, not every day, but
about once a week. Every night, be-
fore retiring, the hair should be taken
down and carefully brushed from ten
to fifteen minutes with a stiff brush,
and should then be braided. To
soften and beautify the hair, beat up
the whites of four eggs into a froth.
and rub it in thoroughly, close to the
roots of the hair. Leave it to dry on.
Then wash the head and hair clean
with a mixture of equal parts of rum
and rose water. A large black rubber
comb should be used in preference to
all others.

Fourteenth street, the band struck up
when Johnny Comes Marching Home
Again" and the procession and specta-
tors broke out into cheers, which were
answered by the crowd Of gentlemen
abont Mr.. PendletOn's residence. When
the column turned into Twelfth street,
there were cries of "Pendleton." Pen
dleton." but the din of tin horns pre-
vented any attempt at a speech.
The residences of Col. Robert White
and Hon. Robert Simpson, on Fourteenth
street, were brilliantly Illuminated.
Coming down town. the procession
struck Market street at the corner OF
Fourteenth, where there was greater
crowd OF spectators than in any other
locality, and the display of fire works
all along the street, as far as could be
seen. was fine. Rockets, mines, roman
candles, etc., were let off at Schultz'S,
at Mrs. Zeigenfelder's, at Twelfth street,
at the REGISTER Office, at the Opera
House corner, at the Brunswick, at
John Welty's and at many other points
on the street, while there were fine
Examinations and displays at John A.
Whites. at Green's Hotel, at j. b.

Klein's, at w. J. Johnston's, at Nos.
500. us, 72O, 72s, 735, 49,. ETC.,
and also at j: ii. Fendt's, corner
of Seventh and Market street. and
other points in the vicinity. When the
procession turned south into Main
street the sight was very pretty one
and evoked much enthusiasm. Among
the conspicuous illuminationS OF upper
Main Steet was that at the residence oil
Mrs. Mary 4. Franzheim. the building
being fairly ablaze with light. The col
ored fires were very artiStically arranged
about the building, and while the pro-
cession was passing number OF boys
were kept busy adding to the general
refulgence. 1t was well arranged
illumination.
At the residence of Judge j. j. Jacob,
little further down Main street, there
was another large crowd, and the col
umn was reviewed by the Judge, who
was loudly cheered.
About ten o'clock the procession was
disbanded and the paraders, tired but
happy. broke their ranks and with the
hosts of spectators went their several
ways. conscious that a great victory
had been fittingly celebrated.
There was not an unpleasant Incl
dent during the entire evening, and no
accidents were reported.
A feature of the parade was the pres
ence of Mr.. viii Grub, an uncompro-
missing Republican, who rode in one Of
the carriages as the guest of Mr. Edwin
Nicewaner. in payment of an election
bet.
Enthusiasm in spots was the order
of the day at one of the prominent
boarding houses on North Main street
last evening. The guests representing
a diversity of political faith only those
illumlned who were fired with the spirit
Of the occasion. Some rooms were
lighted and others were not, and the re-
suit was sort of phoSphorescent
checker board.
Camden Sommers of the Clark>burg
Nccs, Charley Wells, of Glovcr's Gap,
and many Fairmont Democrats came
down to help celebrate last night.
