may be some internal squAbbling be-
fore the conventions; but after the
nominations are made, the candidates,
whoever they are, will receive an un-
wavering support from their respective
parties. So far as Missouri - con-

will be the choice of the two parties.

This is a City Of Cheap Champagnes.
Charles p. Clemes, At one time one
OF the best-known hotel clerks in the
country, and familiar figure at the
resor, hotels of Newport. Long Branch
ana Saratoga, is q guest at the Morton.
Mr.. Clemes was the first clerk of the
Winsor hotel i'm New York. and has
with him the first SIS bill received there
fiom guest.
Mr.. Clcmes is now New York agent
for champsgnes. Speaking yesterday
OF the wine trade, he SAID ~ believe
there is more cheap champagnes sold
here in Grand Rapids than in any 9th
er town of its size in the country. It's
astonishing. You order case
or a bottle Of champagne here
and you will get something that
will kill the English spsrrows that are
rooeting under the caves. A mau
ought never to drink it unless be is
sure his life insurance represents his
entire cash value. So much poor
champagne has been turned loose on
the public here, that it will be diff
cult matter ever to build q good cham
pagne trade. Grand Rapids should be
first-class town for champagne.
There are innumerable large deals
made here--dcals that are generally
consummsted over a bottle of wines n
other cities. Not here. however. III
the principals in the bargain did con-
summate it in that way, there would be
strong probability that neither of
them would survive the deal. A man
who is inclined TO drink will take
glass or two of this champage. The
next dav he has such a headache
that he can't wear his hat. The result
n that he takes solemn oath never TO
touch champagne again, but to drink
whisky, eulphuric acid, anything IN
fact, but champagne. He lays all the
blame to the wine; but champagne
itself Isn't to blame for his head. He
hadn't drunk any of it. lie had swal-
lowed an elaborate preparation of
chemicals, that would kill q healthy OK.
No use Of talking. il is astonishing how
much champagne - drunk that

squash.
