ordinary times the White House is the
center Of q social life which fixes popular
attention. The movements there are mat
tcrs Of the widest public interest, aud
MANY Of them are of such character that
the people in general feel as if they were
themselves participants. In all the history
of our country this social life in the White
House has been of that simple and UMPIRE
tpntious character so becoming to the re-
publican tastes and habits of the people at
large.
With all its temptation to ostentatious
and gaudy display and personal exclusive
ness it has always been maintained apart
from these. The wives of the presidents
like the presidents themselves, have come
from the people and have taken the sim
pie but sufficient social forms of the coun-
try into this most conspicuous social posi-
ton as the lady Of the White House. Tn.
der almost no administration has the
president himself been more firmly fixed
in he hearts of the American people than
the lady who has directed the social life of
the executive residence during his term
And tho names Of many of these ladies'
the best types of American womanhood-
ttand out almost as prominently even as
the names of the presidents
But the position has its penalties. The
eXactions have been too much for some of
those upon whom the responsibility has
been thrown. Even those whose physical
strength has proved sufficient to all the
emergencies have found much in the
never ccssing social attentions that was
extremely undesirable, even burdensomc.
The semipublic character of the daily life
of all the members of the White House
family is sadly destructive Of true domes-
tic living. Philadelphia Press.

Oaliiornla, Oregon or Washington. The
meenng, while primarily in the interest
OF silver, was supposed to be also for the
purpose OF iurthering all the western
lnterests, and the unanimous stavin0
away OF the coast delegates was q Reas
uisappointment. Their action waa At
trlpu!ed IN large measure to the
macnlnatlons OF the Cleveland mana
gers, and was regarded in the light of
retaliation for the outspoken hostility

About thirty delegates particinated in
the proceedings. Patterson of Colorado
urged the appointment of COMMITTEES
OF one from each state to arrange for
more complete representation before anv
oennlte action be taken. His idea was
tnat the western men should unite har-
monlousiy Tor common action upon WHAT
ever points were possible, and to divide
peacefully wherever such a course would
be impracticable.
Rather heated differences of opinion
arose as to whether any but the silver
producing states should be invited to a
more general meeting to be held Monday
afternoon. Some of those present. a
Wyoming delegate particularly, wanted
the gathering to embrace all the
friends of silver in including those
from the southern states and elsewhere.
whether silver producers or not. The
Colorado and Montana men strenuouslv
opposed this proposition, contendinp
that only the delegations from west Of
the Tooth meridian ought to have an
active voice until something definite in
the way OF q general policy was decided
upon.
The idea Of temporarily restricting
representation to the Rocky Mountain
district prevailed and an executive
committee was appointed to bring
matters to focus. The committee was

CHICAGO, June 19.-The silver phalanx
met in caucus tonight at the rooms OF
the Montana delegation in the Grand
Pacific. Prior to the caucus, the ten
dency was shown to arrive at tacit un-
derstanding az to the candidate best
available to keep Cleveland out of the
nomination. The name most often
heard in confidential talks was
that OF German of Maryland. Hills
letter seemed to have increased his
popularity with the western men, but
there seemed to be no growth of conf
dence that he could win even though
Cleveland was successfully shelved. T.
M. Patterson of Denver thought the
trouble with German was that his own
state delegation had been working for
Cleveland. The western men, however,
had not got beyond tie preliminaries.
What they are first working for and
will fight for, said Patterson, is declar-
alton from the convention pledging the
party to restore coinage to where it was
in 1873. With platform of that kind.
almost any candidate accepting it could
scarcely help being satisfactory. Pat
terson did not mention Cleveland, but
there was no doubt that he almost
distinctly excepted the ex-preaident.
The caucus proved to be q lively af-
fair. Martin Maginnis Of Montana pre-
sided, and Bernard Brown of the same
atate was secretary.

LATEST ESTIMATES.

Cievelands Strength variously Reckoned
by the Different Factions.
CHICAGO, June 19.-Late tonight there
is differance of 1855 between the esti-
mates of Clsveland's strength az made
by the Hill managers and the Ken
tucky friends Of Cleveland. Cleveland's
opponents give him 42S. They do not
give the figures. as to Hills strength.
The official list Of thes anti Hill man.
ayers gives Cleveland 594; doubtful and
scattering, 312. The sum of these
totals, 90l, exceeds the total number of
delegates to the convention, and the ex-
cess is not clearly explained.
Cieveland'H opponents question the
correctness OF the estimates. The total
Massachusetts delegation is counted for
Cleveland. Governor Russell, however,
states that tWenty-eight of the thirty
have always been Cleveland men. and
the Cleveland managers tonight state
that the other two came to Cleveland
headquarters this evening and stated
that they would vote for Cleveland.
The Cleveland men, while they claimed
only twenty of the thirty votes from
Texas. state that they are practically as
eured that five more will be added to
Cleveland's column from the Texas del
egation.
Judge Henderson Of Utah, it is stated
tonight, affirmed that both Utah dele
gates would vote for Cleveland.
After Cleveland missionaries this
afternoon had spoken before the Wash
ington delegation, the chairman of the
delegation announced that although
they had been, counted for Hill, they
were now convinced that Cleveland
could carry New York and that their
eight votes would be cast for Cleveland.
Arizona and New Mexico, which being
free silver states. were considered sure
for Hill. are conceded by his managers
to Cleveland.
A meeting of the Cleveland leaders
wass held at ex-Secretary Whitney's
room tonight for the purpose of review
ing the days work, and planning for to-
morrow. Reports were received from
all the states, and according to the re-
ports, Cleveland will have $40 votes on
first ballot.

CHICAGO, June 19.-The situation in
Indiana is even more strained tonight
than at the conclusion OF last nights
caucus. There has been no attempt at
reconciliation. The anti-Cleveland fac
ton is somewhat demoralized. Its
leader, Senator Voorhees,. comedies the
nomination OF Cleveland, yet does not
feel disposed to allow the thirty votes of
his state to be recorded for the ex-
president. One or two independent dele
gates are willing to join the Cleveland
men in the delegation who do not desire
to see Gray nominated. At this morn
ing's meeting OF the Cleveland faction
William f. English was appointed to
second Cleveland's nomination on be-
half of nine.tenths of the Democrats of
Indiana. 1t was decided to present
Gray's name for second place in the
event the Gray faction came over and
cast the solid vote of the state for Cleve.

central committee believes the Gray
men will finally come over. and that the
