IN THE WEST.

In the Western States, such as Illinois,
Wisconsin, Indiana and Iowa, the cam
paign will be conducted on a basis diff
ferent from those that have characterized
former ones.
The brass band and torchlight features
will not be 30 prominent. Personal mag
netism will give place in a marked degree
to sober thoughts and reflection. The
shackles Of party despotism are being cas-,
aside by many, and hang but lightly on
many others.
The question "What is best for the coun-
tryf" is receiving more than ordinary con-
sideration. Cleveland's candidacy will
profit by this. The people like him for
his sturdy honesty, and his unquestioned
ability and strength OF character. He is re.
garded as a safe man, jealous OF the honor
OF his country, but not disposed to seek
petty quarrels with neighboring States to
attain personal notoriety or partisan ad :
vantage.
For these reasons he was the choice O,
the rank and file OF the Democratic marty
His quiet dignity and manly indepcn.
dence Of character did not pass unnoticct
by the people. They knew him to be
safe counsellor, as well as typical Amerl
can, and so at the Chicago Convention In
sisted on having him for their leader
They were successful, and 30 universe

and 20 Il was.

the CONANT EXCURSION.

The excursion which was given on Sat-
urday by the J. & p. Coats Thread Com
pany to its employees was as usual very
gratifying success. The weather was ex-
cellent and the arrangements admirable,
and nothing occurred to mar the pleasure
Of the occasion. Since this corporation
began giving its annual outings, other
manufacturers have followed In it's foot
steps and 80 each year deal OF happiness
is given many thousands, great and small
alike. No wonder the best OF feeling ex-
lists between this great corporation and
those who arc In its employ.

Postoffice a few minutes after o'clock

was expectingimportant letters. He found
the doors leading TO the lobby locked and
1t was impossible to get his mail. 1t is
