A Card From Mr.. Morrow's Friends.
Amusing Anecdote About Choate.

The study which Choate made of words,
the wonderful richness of his vocabulary,
while it had much to do with his power
over a jury, had a fantastic side to it,
which naturally gave point to sarcasm.
Thus, Justice Wilde, of the Supreme Court
Of Massachusetts,, comments in his dry way
on the passion of the great advocate for
adding to his verbal equipment. And
when member of the bar happened to
ask the Judge if he had heard that Wor-
cester had Just published new edition of
his dictionary, with great number of adj
ditional words, Wilde answered, mo.
had not heard of it; but, for Gods sake
don't tell Choate" No doubt Choate HIM
self would have appreciated the point Of
this sally; for no one was more conscious
of the exuberant prodigality of his utter
ances, which, however the Judge himself
would probably have been as unwilling as
ANYBODY to restrain. The torrent of his
speech bore down on its resistless flow the
fact and argument of opposing counsel, but
yet this was not due so much, after all, to
the flow of his eloquence as to the skill
with which he laid bare the weak points
of his adversary and the imaginative in
genuity that put the case in new and
totally unexpected light.-Arend.

after the adjournment of the Convention
and appointed subcommittee to draft
the platform. The latter committee met
in the evening and labored till 10 o'clock
over its task, when it was submitted to the
whole committee. 1t was said that one of
the propositions considered was resolu-
ton opposing the demand made by the
saloon keepers for general low-hcense law
throughout the State; that, after discus
sion it was tabled, but when the general
committee met it was taken from the table
and considered. What the result was
could not be learned, as the members of
the committee were all very close
1t leaked out, however, that one of the
resolutions to be reported indorses the
course of the California delegation in Con-
gress; that the silver bill was indofsed, and
also Blaine's position on the proposed
could not be learned, although the air YVES
full of speculations regarding the contents
of the platform.
tt understood that Judge Fitzgerald of
Los Angeles will place Mr.. Markham in
nomination, and that it will be seconded
by Mr.. George A. Knight. If any person
has yet been selected to perform like
duties on behalf of Mr.. Morrow it could
not be learned, although his friends say
that his name will be ably presented
Senator Mcgowan of Humboldt will pre-
sent the name of Mr. DeHaven for Associ-
ate Justice.
Mr.. Phelps, of the Stockton Independent,
is doing the Convention for that journal.
W. F. Fisher of Calistoga, is one of the
Napa delegates Mr. Fisher has not been
absent from more than one or two Repub-
lican State Conventions in the last twenty
five years.
Delegates should bear in mind the fact
that all letters or kilograms coming to this
city for them will be delivered to them in
their seats during the Convention.
One of the incidents of the Convention
is the staid and respectable appearance of
the Orange county delegation. Orange
county is the baby" county of the State,
being just year old to-day, and this is the
first State Convention in which representa-
tives of that county have taken part. There
are eight gentlemen in the delegation. To
distinguish them apart from those from
older counties, Geo. r. Broadbere, of the
Santa Ana Free Press, presented each with
an elegant white silk badge upon which an
orange is printed in bronze, and the name
of the delegation. II is the universal opin-
ion that Orange has done herself proud in
this her first State appearance.

candidate for Railroad Commissioner in

A clever swindle is being practiced in
Stamford, Conn, by means of double
fountain pen, one end of which is filled
with good, substantial ink. the other with
Ink that fades away in day or two. The
sharper writes his agreement, contract or
whatever particular lay he may have
chosen with the ink that fades, and his
victim signs with the other end of the
pen the Ink that lasts. In few days he
has slip of paper with nothing on it but
a good signature over which he writes any
sort of note that he can most readily
turn into cash.
