field, Mass, and Clarence A. Cotton
and Fred L. Slaght of this city, who
preceded them up the aisle. The bride
wore going-away gown of new shade
of brown, and her brown hat was
trimmed with English violets. During
the ceremony the happy couple stood
upon q white fur rug before bank of
palms. southern pines and hydran-
geas in full bloom. In the vestibule

aud congratulated by their friends who
flocked about them eager to bid them
God-speed on their new life. Inmedi-
ately after they left for trip to Chi.

turn will reside in Muskegon where the

uncertainty Was not q disturbing ele-
menL for 4 Was understood that the
nauie OF but one of these eminent per-
sons would be presented 10 the con-
yenEon. On the 9th day OF February
Mr.. Blame changed the condition OF
uncertainty into certainty by the fam
Gus letter IN which he declared that
hls name would not be presented
10 the Convention. In the Ian
guage OF the street THAT settled
Il" with the people. Harri-
sons denomination was taken as fore
gone CONCLUSION. Mr.. Blslne's word
Was believed TO be as coed As ms oatn.
But wnile that settled il" with the
people II did not settle II with some gen.
tlemen who are officlous friends OF Mr..
Blame and with other gentlemen who
were once enemies of Mr.. Blame but
VINO are now enemies of Mr.. Harrison.
The discofdant elements Kept up an
ineessant clamor Tor the nomination OF
Mr.. Blaine. the one with honest intent
TO secure ms nomination as reward
for MS services to the nation. the other,
ana unfortunately 1t Is the most num-
erous element, that IL might revenge
itself on Harrison for MS real or IAN
cied failure TO appreciate the political
genius and worth of Its members. This
more numerous element also exertea
itself To provoke Misunderstanding and
affecting between the president and
the secretary of state. IL Is justice TO
Mr.. Blaine TO say that he listened long
in dlgnlfied silence to the shouts OF his
real and pretended friends. Even now
he has said nothing TO Justify their as
sertion that he is a candidate. Yet Il
can not be denied that his letter OF
resignation Of the secretary's portfolio
gives color to the statement that he Is
a candidate against Mr.. Harrison. But
the position OF the distinguished eecre-
tary remains ill-detined, and he alone
can make 1t definite. The questions OF
the platform, and Of the devotion OF
the nominee TO every one OF its prin.
ciples, are the most important for the
convention to consider. A few days
hence the bands will have ceased to
play. the clubs to march, the people to
shout, but the great principles that
divide the two parties will endure. and
the people will be preparing to vote
upon them in the GOODNESS and silence
of the November election, and in many
states in the solitude of the booths that
belong to the Australian system. 1t is
not enthusiasm that influences man
when the curtain Is drawn and he pre-
pares his ballot in silence and in Sc
crecy. The convention can not forget
thls-ChlcagO Inter Ocean.

CITY PRESS COMMENT,

An appeal to the republican sense of
fair play 10 never In vain. Chairman
Clarksop, in an interview at Washing
ton, expressed the opinion that greater
tolerance must DO shown the silver
states, and on the next day the repub-
lican senate took up Morgan's free
silver proposition. and debate on that
subject was begun. This, too, in face
of the fact that 1t Was the democratic
house which suppressed the silver ad-
vocates by gag law, and denied them
even the privilege of vote. The sem
ate, in thus taking up the subject. does
not commit itself 70 free coinage under
the present conditions, but shows its
determination that the silver states
shall have q fair and full hearing
Eagle.
The cause Of the great disaster in the
oil regions Was something against which
no human agency or foresight could
have provided. But, the extent of the
destruction of life and property might
have been much less had the teachings
of experience been followed. Some
thing like twenty years ago, the oil
from an exploded tank took fire. and :,
floating down the creek, caused much
damage.
Harrison canno, be elected il NOM
mated" say many of the Blame par
tisans at Minneapolis, and the prea-
dents supporters, many Of them, re-
tort with similar assertions regarding
Mr.. Blaine. II IL quite probable the
convention. when it gets down to bust
ness. will conclude that both factions
are right.-LeAder.

dsncy. he committees on credentials

IL 10 apparent too that II no

TO receive a majority vote. This
failure will practically finlsh his con-
ssst, and Biaine's friends having de-
fsated the president will be ready 10

man will De IS involved in as much un-
certainty this morning as the outcome
Of the convention has been all along.

friends of the president In regard to

sire to defeat each other, and it 10
probable that they will be able to agree
