following resolutions referred to National
affairs:
Society has positive knowledge that there is a
scheme on foot to send the next delegation from
PENNSYLVANIA to the National Convention pledged
to Robert E. Pattison; and
Whereas, These schemers propose to hoodwink
the people by pretending to elect the said delegates
for Grover Cleveland whom they well know IS
per cent of thepeople of Pennsylvsna favor as the
next Democratic nominee for President: and,
Whereas, The Grover Cleveland Democratic So
ciety was the only Democrstc club in Pennsyl-
yania to indorse Robert L. Pattison for Governor
prior to the meeting of the scranton Convention,
we, as his best friends, take this opportunity to
warn him against his false friends who through
their injudicious scheming would injure Grover
Cleveland and seriously impair Governor Patti
sons chances for further political Advancement:
therefore, be it
Resolved First, that the Grover Cleveland DEM
ocratic Society in regular meeting assembled do
hereby indorse Grover Cleveland, Of New York, as
the Democratic nominee for President in 1892 and
cali on all his true friends to be the alert TO the
end that none but tried and true men are sent TO the
National Convention with instructions 70 favor
Grover Cleveland 50 long his name is before the
convention.
Continuing, Governor Pattison's admins
tration was indorsed, "with the exception
OF a few of his appointments from Allegheny
county, /" but which small matter was cheer
fully overlooked in view of the fact that the
straight Democracy of the county had been
misrepresented to him by certain designing
persons.
A resolution was also adopted indorsing
Chauncey F. Black, State President of the
Democratic societies, for the nomination for
United States Senator.
The last resolutions adopted denounced the
Allegheny county BOSSES" and deplored

NEW BAR AT ATLANTIC CITY.
The Coast at That Point Greatly Changed
During the Winter.

Division Passenger, Agent I. D. Smith, of the
Baltimore and Ohio road, returned yester-
day from Atlantic City. He took a big ex-
cursion there July2 On Sunday evening,
while across the Delaware, he was relieved
of very valuable diamond stud. He didn't
discover his loss until he reached Philadel-
phia. He had the stone II years and priced
it highly. Mr.. Smith thinks man must be
pretty mean when he.will steal u pin out of
another's necktie. He had.become much at
tached to the diamond, and outside of its
pecuniary value, he missedit keenly.
Mr.. Smith states that last'winter bar was
formed all along the shore at Atlantic City,
leaving a long, narrow pool of water be-
tween the old shore line and THE new one.
The tide rolls in over the bar in the evening,
and thus keeps the pool supplied with fresh
water. The cutoff is great bathing ground
for women and children, as the water is
confined, and during the day becomes
warmer than the ocean. Beyond the bar is
first-class bathing. The bar can be reached
by wading, or by crossing a bridge which
was built recently. An amusement COM
pany is enclosing the ground near the Inlet,
where q regular hippodrome will be main
tanned all summer. The new iron pier will
be ready July 25 In other respects the
favorite resort has not changed very much.
Mr.. Smith thinks the excursion prospects
for the summer are very bright. A large
crowd was in the town on the Fourth.

the stringency in the money market. 1t was
