dates now before the people for presl-
dent and vice president Mr.. Wolcotl
was the fira speaker and he reviewed
the work At the convention with clear
ness and persplculty. The character
OF the present administration was IN

points were vlvidiy shown. His address
was pregnant with the best OF reasons
why the present administration should
be continued.
Judge Bureh's address.
Judge Burch gave clear and concise
explanation of:the reciprocity clause OF
the Mckinley law. He spoke good
word for Whlteiaw Reid and was glad
TO have an opportunity 70 cast vote
for a man who enjoys the reputation oil
being one Of the most able and intiu
entail moulders of public OPINION In

Harrison has kept steadily winning ms
way 10 popular confidence the club ha:
good reasons for ratifyiug his nominal

The suit of Miss Esther Jacobs against
Henry B. Sire, which was before the

Jacobs is one of a large family Of sisters,

NEw YoRK, Dec. l9.-The World says:
Ex.Secretary of the Interior and pres
ent Senator William F. Villas, Of Wis.
consin, slipped over from Washington
early Saturday evening without waiting
to engage q room at any hotel. he
went at once to the Cleveland residence.
There he found, beside the President
elect, ex.Postmaster General Don n.
Dickinson and ex.Mayor William r.
Grace. Mr.. Grace had been dining
with Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Villas had not
seen the President-elect since the No
yember triumph, and his first words
were naturally congratulatory. Mr..
Cleveland had promised to go to the
Century club and listen to Park e.
Goodwin's eulogy on tho late George
William Curtis. He invited Senator
Villas to accompany him. This the sem
ator declined, saying he would come to
the house again later.
Mr.. Cleveland and General Dickinson
went to the Central Club, and after
hearing Mr.. Goodwin returned to tho
President-elect's residence. Senator
Villas was there and so was ex.Sscretary
William @. Whitney. The four men
talked until late hour. The confer.
ence was resumed yesterday morning,
and ended in the afternoon just in time
for General Dickinson and Senator
Villas to catch the $500 Pennsylvania
train for Washington. The few poll"
ticions who knew Of the meeting specu.
lated that it w9s to discuss the soma
torial situation, not only Us to the state
legislatures in dispute, but in the
Badger state Us well.
The senator was delighted to tell Mr..
Cleveland that the Wisconsin legisla-
ture was safely Democratic and that
Senator Sawyer's successor would be in
sympathy with the next administration.
It is understood that the names of sew
eral possibilities who are discussed,
among them those Of Gen. Bragg, Con-
gresham Mitchell and others. Mr..
Villas said that advices received from
California, Wyoming aud Montana were
very encouraging and there were good
reasons for hope that not single Re-
publican senator could be elected from
those states.
During the chat reference is said to
have been made to the report that SEN

to have remarked simply nonsense"
After the departure Of his visitors the
President-elect received few personal

Christmas GarlandS for tho "WindowlesS

parted Kindred and Friends.
'Tam the Resurrection and tho Life"
Ii ever the loved and the lost of the
home should be remembered, it is on
the Christmas day. There must be Of
necessity some sadness in the recollec-
ton, but it is a soft, sweet sorrow, one
would not willingly let 60. The memo
~ Of those who have gone before comes
back to US acco1 panied with the words,
"Lord. keep my memory green"
With the preparation of gifts for the
living beloved ones comes the desire to
do something to make beautiful the last
homes OF those who have Crossed the
bar" Judgment as well as affection
should be shown in choosing such deco
rations. Flowers, beautiful as they are,
seem out of place in a spot where they
must freeze within short time. More
appropriate are emblems made almost
entirely OF Rreen-the color OF hope.
There Is a largo choice among these.
The star and the anchor are especially
fitting at this time, aud a wreath, q
crown OF. cross may also be used.
There Is no lack Of choice in the ma
tefials from which these may be made.
Laurel, pine, running cedar, and, most
beautiful Of all, holly, are all admirable
for the purpose. Mingled with the
green may be q few white immortelles.
The gayly dyed ones so frequently seen
on funeral wreaths are, like all artificial
things, in wretched taste OF such Q
place. The simpler tho decorations OF
the Goods acre" the better.

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Frederick Austin,
of 3514 Prairie avenue, was MORALLY
wounded at an early hour this morning
by two burglars. Mr.. Austin was en-
tering his house at that ihournwhen he
noticed two men prowling around one
of the side windows. He drew his re-
volver and asked the men what they
wanted. One OF the men fired shot,
which did not hit Mr.. Austin, and the
latter returned tho fire. Several shots
were exchanged, one of which struck
Mr.. Austin in the stomach. He fell to
tho sidewalk and while lying PROSTATE
he emptied his revolver at the men. 1t
is thought that one of them was
wounded, for trail of blood in the snow
marked the course by which they es-
capped.

Clay and Webster having boon as
signed to delegate districts, do not ap-
pear in the table. We will first assign
delegates to the first "a counties in or
der, and then, if there are counties hav-
ing no representation they can be ar
ranged into delegate districts, and nee
essary changes made accordingly.
Beginning with the delegate district
composed OF Lewis and Webster, and
assigning one delegate each to the %
following counties, we have WetZel as
the last county in the list, which gains
delegate, with Tucker, Hancock and
Wyoming unrepresented.
Now, properly speaking, both Tucker
and Rithie should have delegates u.s.
signed as both OF these counties have
more than the required three-ffths OF
the ratio, but passing this We add lin
the legislature OF '9l Tucker to Ran.
dolph, thereby forming district with
two representatives. It might have
been added to Grant without injustice
being done to Wetzel, as we will see
later, and there would have been no In
crease in the delegation. Hancock is
OF necessity joined to Brooke, and Wy.
oming to Mcdowell, without, in either
case increasing the representation. By
adding Tucker to Randolph we have one
more representative than necessary, and
the only proper thing to do under the
circumstances is to go-baok and take
one delegate from Wetzel, tho lowest
county on the list. But why all the
"shenanegan2" Why not follow tho
plain precepts Of the constitutional
1t will, however, be seen that by this
mode OF assigning delegates the Repub-
licans are the gamers; 1--WE have no eau
ton but for justice. OCCASIONAL.

The Democrats of the city of New
York care no more for the success OF
the party outside Of New York, or
for the success of Democratic princl-
pies, than does hog for the pail
from which it ha; taken its swill.
The control of the politics and finan-
ces of this city is the one double
barrelled gun with which they do a IL
with which they do ali their fighting,
and beyond this field and the plum
der here attainable they have no
care. To hold fast to the control OF
this city and all that is at stake here
in the matter of salaries and perqui-
sites beyond the power of any man
to name, they would swap the entire
Democratic party of the country in
to the eternal valley of political de-
feat. To be the ruler of Manhattan
Island with it's m illion and half OF
mixed population, is the one thought
of every man among the Democratic
leaders of this city, and it makes nc
difference to them from whence come
the votes or how they are obtained
so long as they get them. Till tht
Democratic party of the United
States give up all idea of ever carry
ing New York, and let it go, heat
and tail into the Republican bag

Our object in publishing this plat
form is to show to the public that,
while Gen. Weaver is now the can

comparison it will be seen that the
Peoples party platform is very
nearly the same platform widened
to meet the Iressing demands of the
people. The name of party
means nothing more nor less thar
the principles engrafted in the
platform of that party. The people
