The marriage Of Mr.. +. +. Alexander
and Miss Fannie Rhodes was solemnized
at the Catholic church last week as pre-
viously announced. Father OConner
tied the bands ve'y impressively. Miss
Pearle Ditto rendered Mendelsobn
equally as impressively for the process
ional and Evening Bells" for the retro
cessional. Messrs. will Howard and
Dee Pussy were handsome az ushers
who preceded them 10 the altar. The
bride wore white null, tulle vail, and
carried white chrysanthemums. The
groom bore well his honors in the usual
black regalia. The invited guests re-
paired to the residence OF the brides
father where, after congratulations, the
dining room was thrown open with walls
draped in lace curtains, festooned with
vines and at the rear, which the brides
table graced, potted flowers adorned the
scene. The tables were immaculate in
white with profusion Of delicious viands
A number Of presents showed the esteem
in which the young couple were held.
In the language OF Tommie Traddles in
David Copperfeld, the bride is the dear
est girl" and the groom is popular
young salesman at Yeakel & Co.'S. big
dry goods house. May their hearts ever
be as full of cloves hope and glamour"
as to-day and may every page in the
book of Life, be full OF kindness. When
tears and heart-sobs come (which is a
part OF our inheritance) to blister the
pages, may that same heart-affection
comfort and sustain.
/ notice Prof. r. p. Shacklett's propo-
sition in the News OF last issue to discuss
the money question with any Populist.
l would like to know if am right when
/ assert that to me, woman, who would
not think OF attempting to handle the
agitated subject in its fullest pros and
cons its as clear as abe for Democrat
who, if l am right at all, should be a
bi.metalist and in favor of gold and sill
yer in our country and should raise his
voicein favor Of silver and also to main
tain the silver dollar and the gold dollar
upon a parity and of coming both gold
and silver every year. John Sherman
demonetized silver lin 1873 l believe)
and our Populist friends tell us Thomas
F. Bayard's name was signed to the Con-
ference report and if it was so he depart
ed from JeiIerson's financial plans, who
believed in the free and unlimited coin
age OF silver and gold, and his report to
that effect was the law Of the land, from
1892 to 1873. The ratio was slightly al
tered once, but the principle was never
violated till by Sherman. Democracy
means sound currency and the equal
rights of all citizens under the law.
Freedom of speech, freedom OF action,
freedom of conscience. Freedom in the
courts, freedom at the pol's-"Rule or
ruin" don't work with many. But no
good reason can be assigned, or should
be, by Democrat for DESERVING his party
principles. We have had panics before
and the eff ct of the late one is passing
away. Prosperity is close at hand and
if tickle Democrats could only be patient
and true the old party would prove itself
right. Let us, right now, in this moment
Of defeat turn our faces to the sun and
tho we are at a critical stage in the his
tory of our nation, we can fall into line
like Macedonian phalanx" and be de-
termined that the party that overthrow
the Free sellers, the Wings, the Know
nothings will, in 1896, overthrow the Re-
publican hosts. Let us bury deep, all
preferences, and antagonisms and forget
disappointments that may be engender-
ed. Let us, as Democrats, be magnani-
nous to fellow Democrats and sacrifice
everything ON the alter of Democracy
and begin to fight in unity for John G.
Carlisle ON the Democratic ticket as
President in '96.
Man was undeniably first in the crea-
ton, but that woman is no longer "side
issue" the recent vote in Colorado goes
to prove fully as many OF the gentle sex
polled votes as the opposite and the
edict has gone cut that their vote was
far more conservative and reliable than
the male voters. Husbands and fathers
accompanied wives and daughters to the
precincts. II will be "cold day" when
a Southern man does it, although woman
is freer everywhere even to the South
land and there have been surprising
changes, but the Southern man OF the
old regime still exists.
