tits true undoubtedly that Hills con-
troll of the Democratic machine has given
him some advantage over his opponents
in the contest for delegates to the Demo-
cratic State convention, and probably
lack of organization on the part of his
adversaries helped him somewhat also.
But after discounting these advantages
the fact remains that Hill could never have
procured such overwhelming possession
of convention as he had yesterday if
the great mass of the Democratic party
of New York were not in sympathy with
him and his methods. All the power of the
machine could never have borne down an
opposition anywhere near as strong as
that which his opponents are alleging to
exist. Tricl1ery has no doubt helped
Hill but trickery alone could never have
availed to secure him State convention
substantially unanimous in his support.
His opponents may protest, they may is
sue addresses to the public setting forth
the bad character of the man, and his
devious ways, but they cannot wink out
of sight the fact that in a contest carried
on openly all over the State he has sue
ceeded in defeating Mr.. Cleveland at
almost every point and in obtaining for
himself the practically unanimous en-
dorsement of delegate convention for
the Presidency. Undoubtedly it is true
that a large majority of what is called
the respectable element of the Democra-
cy is against him, but this fact in the
presence of the convention of yesterday,
only goes to show how feeble is the re-
spectacle element as compared with the
other element which follows Hill. Aside
from the advantage which may have ac-
crued to Hill from his control of the
machine this respectable element has
had quite as good chance to elect dele
gates as has the Hill crowd. Yet there
was not enough of its supporters at
Yesterdays convention to disarrange in
the slightest degree the programme
which the Hill faction had laid down.
Our Mugwump friends who have been
fattering themselves that the Democrat

sICK-RooM SUGGESTIONS.


Never stand or sit at the head Of the
bed or where the patient will be obliged
to turn even his eyes to see you; place
yourself, where he can look into your
face. l have seen people enter a sick
room and take their stand out of sight,
under the mistaken impression that they
would not attract attention; but invalidS
are peculiarly sensitive to an unseen pres
ence, and they will turn their head, or
even try to raise themselveson the pillow
in the effort to ascertain who has come
into the room.
Keep small table spread with white
cloth, upon which to lay glasses, spoons
and bottles; this should be if possible, in
an adjoining room, or if that is not feast
BILE, as far as can be from the bed. Al
ways use the same utensils, washing the m
as soon as possible after using, for if they
are carried away, in nine cases out of ten
the article that you need will not be on
hand when required; and waiting at such
times is almost torture. 1t is well to
have napkin, or soft towel, always at
hand.
Ask your physician to write downhis di-
rections; do not depend upon your mem
DRY. You will find it a great assistance
to keep daily record, both for your own
use and for the information of the doctor.
The following is merely suggestion:
1 p. M, quinine; ppm, beef tea.
If the patient is sleeping quietly when
the hour for medicine, or nourishment
arrives, except in very extreme cases, it
is qetter not to waken him, as few remeG-
les are so valuable as sleep. This, how
ever, is point for your physician to de-
eide. Follow implicitly the PHYSICIANS
directions. HOUSEKEEPING.

POINTS FOR, REPAIRING AND MAKING
NEW.
Most pillows are now made thirty-one
by twenty-one inches, and about six
pounds of feathers are used. Bolsters
for use are made in the shape of a low
pillow, for ornament like long roll.
Pillow ticks may be kept fresh for
years without washing OF renovating by
the use of slips made of thick silesia and
buttoned closely on. These slips do not
take the place of the regular white pill
low case but are merely intended to pro-
tect the ticking. Wash these covers once
in six months.
Some house-keepers do not understand
that feathers contain more or less Oil no
matter what their age. The heat of the
sun will bring this oil out giving the
feathers a strong offensive odor therefore
pillows should not be placed in the sun.
A good finish for bed room floors is
made by first applying stain of any de-
sired shade and according to the direc-
tons given with the package. When
this is dry varnish the floor with "hard
oil finish'' and turpentine mixing
well. A new floor is handsomely finish
ed with two coats of shellac.
nary coal ashes through a coarse cloth OF
fine sieve and dip the end of large cork
in water, then rub the knives until clean
and shining. Use the sifted ashes in the
same way for cleaning brass and copper
rubbing it on with a wet cloth and pol
ishing with wooden rag.
One who has had experience with
oiled and painted floors recommends the
former and says she prefers burnt lumber
with boiled linseed oil. Rub it in thor
oughly with wooden cloth. The lumber
can be bought in boxes containing
pound and upwards, already ground in
oil, which is most convenient, as that
sold in a dry state is apt to be coarse
and rough.
The great advantage an oil floor pos
sesses over a painted one is that when
marked or scratched some oil rubbed
over the spots removes them, and it is
never necessary to repeat the whole pro-
cess again. All that is needed to keep
the floor bright and fresh is to occasion
ally rub it over with a cloth wet with
little oil OF kerosene, as you would treat
oiled furniture. After oiling floor
piece of carpet or papers may be spread
before the entrance to other rooms for
few hours, to prevent the possibility of
earring away fO0t prints, OF uhe eXtra Oh
may be rubbed off with dry wooden cloths.
A much better plan is to leave the floor
for a day OF two to dry, though the only
harm done by using Immediately is that
the oil is liable to be tracked over the
other parts of the house.
If an imitation of the handsom ash
and walnut floors is preferred, rub every
board with pure boiled oil, anb
use paint brush to apply the dark stain
ing, taking care not to have enough in
the brush to spread on the part intended
to be light.

The Boston Mugwumps, otherwise
known as the Massachusetts, Reform
Club, met Saturday and declared jointly
and severally that they could not and
would not vote for Hill. OF course
these gentlemen want to vote for Cleve-
land, but their chance of having that OPP
portunity is very small unless they form
a party themselves and nominate him,
for though the performance in New York
may not mean that Hill will be nominal
ed it almost certainly kills Cleveland's
chances. Indeed Mr.. Goldman appears
to have foreseen that a new party was
the only refuge, for he declared that he
was ready to join one.

If patriotism and noise are synono-
nous terms the meeting at City Hall
yesterday was highly promotive of love
of country. The small boy enjoyed him
self hugely and the small girl appeared
TO be fairly happy. The orators of the
occasion got rather a poor show, the
small boy not being in receptive mood.
On the next occasion of this kind the
orator may as well be eliminated alto
gether, unless one can be found whose
voice is superior to the din of thousand
fish horns, and the shouts of two or three
thousand pairs of juvenile lungs.
