of friends who gathered at the residence
on New Years evening. Whatever in
convenience the surprise may have caused
was compensated for later when Mr.. w. S.
Graves announced "Brief Exercises" and
called on the pastor for prayer and re-
marks. The pastor, Rev. G. H. Morse, re-
quested MIR. and Mrs. Sprague to stand up
before him, not, he explained, to have the
knot OF five-years' standing united. He
then, in behalf of the company, presented
them with two chairs, some carpeting, a
plate and small purse of money. The
evening closed with refreshments, for
which previous arrangements had been
made by the friends.

La Grippe Again.

The temperance of the "grip'' calls to
mind the experience of James o. Jonas,
publisher OF the Leader, Mexia, Texas. He
was sick in bed tor ten days with the grip
during its prevalence year or two ago.
Later in the season he had second attack.
He says: I'm the latter case used Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and with consid-
cradle success, think, only being in bed
a little over two days. The second attack,
] am satisfied would have been equally as
bad as the first, but for the use of this
remedy" 1t should be borne in mind that
the grip is much the same as very severe
cold and requires precisely the same treat
ment. When you wish to cure cold
quickly and effectually give this remedy

men said that it was magnificent
personal testimonial. They argued
rightly that such special mark OF
appreciation of a candidate in whose
candidacy no party principle or issue
was involved could be nothing less
than an expression of the confidence
of his fellow citizens, breaking over
party lines and subordinating party
exigencies to itself.
Mr.. Ramsay enjoyed the love and
confidence of the people of this state
rs few other men did. This feeling
grew out OF his public record OF tidel-
ity and devotion to the people and
every good cause. 1t was felt by
those who had never met him.
Those so fortunate as to know him
well and to learn the high motive
and high resolve which animated
him. has this feeling common to all
Iliinoisans emphasized in them. The
multitude might applaud his works,
but only those who knew with what
high courage and what unfailing
gentleness he walked in the shadow
of death could feel for him that high
est admiration growing out of the
consciousness not only of things done
but of things borne.
The world has lost a man of noble
stature. New honors awaited him
could he have but lived. But to him
who walks in justice and upright
ness, carth's greatest prizes are as
baubles to the greater glory beyond.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says: 1t
begins to appear more plainly that
the cyclone of last Tuesday was
caused more by democratic abstain
ance from voting than republican
growth since previous elections were
held. Ii is estimated here that more
than million, perhaps nearly 2.O0O,-
900. democrats remained away from
the polls on Tuesday. Take the
state OF Pennsylvania as an illustra-
ton. ID. II. Hastings. the republican
candidate for governor, was elected
by the enormous majority of 245, 900.
The democratic candidate for gov
erncr. William Singerly. of Philadel-
phia. is a popular man, n statesman,
n democrat and nioys the confidence
of the people of his state. Hastings
ma ority over him seems enormous.
and it is enormous. But Hastings
vote is not in excess of the 1892.
while Singerly's vote falls more than
100000 short of the vote cast for
Cleveland in 1892. This accounts
for republican gains and democratic
losses. Ii is not unlikely that an in
vestigation OF the figures in every
state that held elections last Tues
day would reveal something similar.

Tanners uncomfortable Position.

Chairman John X. Tanner, of the
republican state committee has
returned to Chicago from Spring
field, where he conferred with
Senator Cullom about the SEN
atorial fight. Tanner maintains
an unbroken silence regarding
the question. but keeps up ire
mendous thinking about it all the
time. The fact is the chairman is in
an uncomfortable position. For rea-
sons Of policy he would like to come
out for Mr.. Medill for senator. but is
so entangled in the Cullom interests
that he is finding it next to impossi-
BILE to break away.
Tanner views with alarm the de-
vclopmcnt of sentiment in favor of
n Cook county man and would fain
climb into the band wagon, but his
word is pledged to Cullom. and the
chairman takes pride in sticking to a
promise. 1t is an open secret that
Chairman Tanner is doing his level
best to cntice members of the Cook
county delegation to the Cullom
camp. and is trying to get Henry
Wulf to help him. Wulff agreed to
do so last summer. and by way of re-
turn got the support of the Cullom
men Mt the state convention which
nominated him for treasurer, but now
that it has come to n showdown it
seems that Wulir hasn't much to de-
liver. There are very few lcgislat-
ors who owe him any favor. and un-
less Tanner makes new deal he will
not get Cullom vote in the entire
Cook county delegation.

When the deliberative body that gaye

was situated a livery stable. The
weather was warm and from the stable
came swarms Of flies that lighted OF the

was no uncommon sight, said jefferson,

The opinion Of the BODY was not
unanimous in favor Of the document.
and. under other circumstances. discus
sion might have been prctracted for
days. il not weeks, but the flies were
intolerable. Efforts were made to find
another hall, free from the pests. but in
vain. As the weather became warmer
the flies grew worse, and the tapping of
handkerchiefs was heard all over the
hall rs an accompaniment 10 the voices
of the speakers.
In despair at last some one suggested
that matters be hurried. so that the
body might Gdjourn and get away from
the flies There were few mild pro
tests, but no one needed them, the i'm

FASTENED up TO the table to sign the au-
