REPRESENTATIVE SALES,
HOGS,

In reality there was hardly hog market
at the yards today because the receipts
were very light. The few good hogs that
did sell were at about steady prices but
the low grades were irregular as well as
unsatisfactory The late arrivals were
held over and will probably be shipped out
in first hands.

whole block of buildings was ablaze before
the department had succeeded in getting to
work. For two hours the firemen
fought the flames, ana were at
last getting them under control,
when an explosion in the rear OF
one of the stores occurred. It broke almost
every pane Of glass within radius OF half
a mile and burst all the hose pumping on
the fire. The Masonic Temple, next adJa-
cent, had up to this moment been consid-
cred absolutely safe, but the breakage OF
the windows caused draft which sucked
the flames inward and in a minute the
whole interior of the building was afire.
1t was a four story building, valued at

Nothing was saved out OF the building but

not make his position palmer than he had
before by his utterances aud by his policy
during his administration. l believe that
nine out of ten democrats believe in free
coinage Of sill yer, and that they will have
free coinage plank in their platform, but
do not think they will find any difficulty in
nominating good man as candidate.
DON'T HURT HIS ORANGES.
ST don't think Mr.. Cleveland's chances of
receiving the nomination are lessened by
his position on that subject. Within the
democratic family think the question is
going TO give them some trouble, but the
supreme discipline of the party, which has
50 often been manifested, will rot hesitate
at en- inconsistency like this. The demo
Gratis have not broad field from which TO
select their candidate as the whole south is
excluded from tine field of selection by con-

will reject Mr. Cleveland on account of his
recent letter.

Well. our position is well known. We be-
iieve in using both silver aud gold as a cur
