CLEyELAND's STRENGTH AT THE
SOUTH,

Despite his opposition to free silver coin
age, Cleveland is strong at the South.
This is not remarkable. for Cleveland is
the best type of Northern man with
Southern Bourbon principles the country
has seen since the days Of President
franklin Pierce, and since the Southern
Bourbon continues to rule in politics
Cleveland is q man after his own heart.
The Southern Bourbon sees plainly that
the time has not yet come for the nomina-
ton, much less the election, of an Exon
federate to the presidency. The candidate
must be Northern man from one of the
great doubtful states. He must have some
following outside the straight" Democ-
racy, so Cleveland exactly suits the South
ern Democracy, who read plainly between
the lines of his public utterances his full
sympathy with what is termed the pecu-
liar Southern construction of the Federal
constitution.
regulars in New York who hate Cleveland
will nevertheless swallow him and that
enough Mugwumps will continue to vote
for him to make his calling and election
sure. These Southern politicians, who de-
sire his denomination and election, are
editorialIy bids the South remember that
the real question of the canvass is not the
tariff; not free silver, but the supremacy
of the Southern idea: "This is white
mans government" With this idea
Cleveland has always been in full SYM
ment before the war, during the war and
after the war; he is with the South heart
end soul today; the South knows it and
therefore the South prefers Cleveland to-
day, in spite of his anti-free silver views,
to any war Democrat like Palmer, Gray,
Boies. Villas, Campbell or Morrison.
These Southern politicians are astu.e
critics of the situation as rule, but in our
judgment they underestimate the strength
of the Hill opposition to Cleveland in
New York; they quote the fact that John
Kelly at ST. Louis in 1876 predicted that
Tiden would lose New York by 5000
majority; that in lisa Kelly opposed
Cleveland's nomination. The South saws
that Tilden in 1876 and Cleveland in 1854
were elected in spite of the predictions of
defeat and protests of Tammany. The
South forgets that John Kelly at ST. Louis
in 1876. and at Chicago in 1884, did not
represent solid delegation from New
York hostile to Tilden and Cleveland and
solid for rival candidate. John Kelly
was Tammany, but not New York state.
while Hill is not only Tammany, but he is
so completely New York state that Cleve-
land was not able to send single dele.

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

The whole number of votes in the Re-
publican national convention was 906, the
convention giving the territories of Alaska,
Arizona, District of Columbia. Indian ter
Yitory, Oklahoma and Utah two votes each
and allowing New Mexico six votes, on the
assumption that she would be soon a state.
If the Democratic national convention
gives the same rating to New Mexico
there will be 9O6 delegates in the Chicago
convention that opens this morning.
Under the two-thirds rule 604 votes are
necessary to q choice. In 1876 Tilden was
nominated on the second ballot; in 1880
Hancock was nominated on the third bal
lot; in 1854 Cleveland was nominated on
the second ballot.

TO THE GIRL GRADUATE.

Fair fedgling of delightsome June,
Sweet scholar of the year,
Think you by mastering cube and runs
To witch wondering sphere?
There's twice the power in your eyes
That Archimedes knew
When, had a fulcrum crowned his signs,
Hsd crack the world in two!
You've roamed the Mountains OF the Noon,
And traced Primordial Nan,
And wondered why, when gone so soon,
This life has e'er begani
But. prithee, "grave and reverend" miss,
Mid al your learning seek
And tell US why he'd rather kiss
Your two lips than your cheek?
Come down from Learning's chilly height,
Let go your "Guiding STAR"
And laugh ripple 10 the night
And pink the gay guitar!
That broad low brow let roses span
1t dreamed of Plato once
And learn OF poor inferior man
That Cupid's not Ounce!

effort TO win for the rhododendron the honor OF

The rRododendron maximum, or the great

largely agricultural, is not . hayseed state. 1t

Thornton Tidfngs: "Aiter looking over all that
has been said about the state flower we join the
ranks of those who prefer the wild rose, because
OF its universally. Ii grows everywhere in the
state and can be utilized not only on Memorial
day, but on Others in every part of the state.
The rhododendTon can not be acelimated in

"Rhododendron' is a Greek word, signifying
"rosetree." The common name of the plant is
''rosebay," referring to the color OF the flower
and the appearance OF the leaf.

Governor HILL
This is the argument of Tammany, and
it bristles 50 forcibly with significant facts
and figures that It looks as If the national
convention would hardly dare nominate
Cleveland unless they expect to eject him
without the electoral vote of New YORK.
The Tammany Democracy further point
out that his friends will be unable TO sheer
at the Minneapolis convention as soon
trolled by oftice-holders." because Cieve-
lands nomination can only be made by
the aid of "votes from states, many Of them
Republican states, and mostly led by those
whom Mr.. Cleveland. when himself de-
precating the denomination of a president

1t is very pretty quarrel as it stands.
and if its outcome should be the nomina-
ton Of Cleveland in spite of the protest Of
Tammany, Harrison will carry New York
and be elected without question.

York, Pa, Oct. 4.-The thirty-fifth
annual exhibition of the York County
Agricultural society was opened yester-
day under the most favorable auspices.
The display of machinery is large and
varied, and embraces some large and
very interesting exhibits, including many
devices that are entirely new to this sec
ton. The entire space devoted to the
machinery display has been taken up,
and number of exhibitors have taken
space double that of last year. In the
poultry honse there is an unusually fine
display. The display in the carriage
house and store buildings is most excel
lent, the York dealers and manufac-
turers surprising all previous efforts.
One of the most interesting features of
the fair is the palatial car "F'lorida on
Wheels" The display of the wonderful
products of Florida as shown in this car
make feature Of the exhibition.

Wesley Warner and Lena Brown to be
Tried at Once.

MT. HOLLY, N. j., oct. 4.-The court
room was crowded yesterday when Wos-
ley Warner was brought in to plead to
the indictment charging him with the
wilful murder Of Elizabeth Peak on tho
18th of September. The prisoner was
neatly dressed, and looked very we'll in
deed. While Prosecutor of the Pleas
Budd was reading the long indictment
Warner stood composqdly facing the
court and at its conclusion responded in
a firm, dictinct voice "Not guilty" He
was then removed to Jail. His trial is
set down for tomorrow
Next came Lena Brown, against whom
there arc three indictments, one for the
murder of each child sttangled TO death
by her ut Bordentown last week. Her
face was colorless, and she seemed to
have barely strength enough to stand.
Before Prosecutor Budd had finished
reading the first indictment the woman
had a handkerchief to her eyes and was
crying,
ITO this indictment how do you plead2"
asked the prosecutor II plead guilty."
she responded.
Her counsel, jerome B. Grigg, said
she didn't understand what she was
doing, so plea of not guilty was entered
in this as well as the other two indict-
ments. Her trial was also set down for
tomorrow
