The Press on Hilrs Nomination.

| New \ DIRK sun: IHe democratic stat
| convention az Saratoga yesterday brOk
away from the control Of lis Chairman
and with great enthusiasm, nominated
that chairman. ID. B. HUI, for Governor
pleted by the nomination of Daniel y
Lockwood, Of Buffalo. for Lieutenant
Governor, and William j. Gaynor, o.
Brooklyn, for Judge Of the Court of APP
pCalS.
The convention was harmonious In every
respect.
New York World: The result Of the
| Democratic State convention will create
| great disappointment. surprise. and adj
| miration. Disappointment because the
most ordinary common sense in political
! affairs must perceive the crying necessi-
! ~ for union. harmony, reconciliation, and
| genuine enthusiasm In the present critical
| campaign. Ii was particularly necessary
! that the moral and the independent ee-
ments in the party. be satisfied. The
machine is always bound TO accept the
| situation. BY rejecting the claims Of
the state Democracy and the reform dele
cation from Kings county, and nominating
Senator Hill. the brains. the directing
hand, and the unquestioned master Of
the machine organization. the old divis-
ions are notwithstanding rot healed.
The dsaffected Democrats will see only
the candidate for Governor. The re-
formers call for Gaynor as Governor Is
not met by his nomination for another
Judicial ONCE. One thing is sure. There
will be no lack Of aEgressiveness. vigor
or party spirit in the Democratic cam
paiCn. Senator HI is q veteran and
matchless campaiGner The issue is plain
The result is with the people.
New York Times says: II IS useless 10
seek for full approval Of tho conventions
action among the opponents OF the present
state organization. Mr.. Hil's speech in
support of Mr.. Cleveland and replying To
German, his seeming candid profession Of
n desire TO see the party united. and the
broad and in manv respects admirable
speech made by him on Tuesday IN the
convention have modified somewhat the
opinions entertained Of him. These
things are creditable 10 him. But they
fan far short Of making him either ac-
Ceptable or advisable as a candidate. The
enthusiasm that he NAV inspire among
his own organization following will not
compensate for the diSdpprOVal and ap-
prehension with which his candidacy is
elsewhere regarded The party goes into

Patience With Eccentricity,

Many of the leading people in English
society regarded Thomas Carlyle with a
feeling almost akin to reverent delight
when he chose to behave like an igno-
rant boor in their drawing rooms, even
taking his seat, it is said, unbidden in
the presence of the queen. This gener-
alton, however, has little patience with
such eccentricities.
1t was an English bishop that is still
living who, when the historian Freeman
had worn out his patience with his rude
ness, introduced him to waiting audi
ence rs ''the distinguished scholar that
SO admirably describes and illustrates

Better Left Cnsaid.

A certain young poet is equally fa-
nous in the world of letters as an au-
thor and among his friends for his blunt
candor that is forever betraying him
into one of the things one would have
preferred to say differently, as Du Maui
rier puts it. On his last birthday hewas
given charming dinner by his doting
parents, ut which he was bitterly disap-
pointed by the regret of several nota-
bles. Thus, when society girl said to
him at the close of the evening, "What
delightful time we have had!" he ex-
claimed from the fullness of his heart:
I'm glad it hasn't seemed dull to you.

but not one of them camey'-Philadel-

PORT BYRON, June l4.-W. H.
Roach, OF Pleasant Plains, was in
town on business yesterday.
George Hunt brought some straw
berries into town today which were
truly remarkable for their size, some
being 81 inches in circumference.
Prof. Connors. of the Port Byron
academy, has returned from Iowa
City, where for the past few DAYS he
has attended the opening exercises of
the Iowa State university.
A good rain fell this morning at
Port Byron.and surrounding country,
making the human thermometer run
up to blood heat. If we could ret
just one good old-fashioned souser.
it would be worth everything.
Next Monday Pearsall Bros. will
ship several cars of Port Byron hogs
and cattle to Chicago. In order to
remain in liue. Swank e. Hollister
will follow suit. The cattle Industry
in this section, as is evident by these
shipments, has become live busi-
ness here.
A big basket picnic is scheduled at
the Watch Tower in Rock Island for
Friday, June %, under the auspices
of the Port Byron Silver band. The
Verne Swain is to carry the party,
and people from lie Claire, Ham pton
and other neigh boring towns will be
there. Nothing but 6-inch smiles,
beaming faces and loaded baskets 90.
Forewarned is forearmcd, and those
contemplating the ride should profit
thereby.
Said a leading citizen yesterday:
Il don't see why it is that some of
our ambitious capitalists do not come
to Port Byron and see what can be
done about water works system
That we need, and badly. too, fire
protection and hydrants, is settled
and indisputable fact. A company
contemplating such move, could
include lie Claire, just across the
river. in the deal. There is plenty
of water for both towns, and power
for the two places could. in my opin-
ion, be furnished by single water
main across the river. | have stud
led this matter for some time, and
deem it practicable undertaking.
| would very much like to hear from
other sources on this subject. as it is
one of vital Importance to citizens of
Port Byron, lie Claire, and the sur
rounding country"
Another big excursion, given bv
the c. M. d St. p. arrived here to-
day from Monticello and Maquoketa,
j. W. Ellis, agent of the ST. Paul, at
the latter point. being among the ex-
cursionists. A great disappoint-
ment was in store for the pleasure
party at this place. as the Josephine,
upon her arrival here. dumped them,
as usual. upon the sunny, hot shore
about half-a-mile from town. and
they were compelled to amble or loi-
ter about the streets until the de-
parture of the boat for down stream.
There is no cause for such proceed
ing. as there are several good, shady
and spacious groves little above
the town which could be used, free of
charge. for the entertainment and re-
creation of excursion parties arriving
here. Port Byron desires to be hos
pitable, and her people would like
very much to know if there is not
some other more pleasant place to
land pleasure seekers, and thus save
the townspeople from embarrass-
ment and humiliation.

The breath of chronic catarrh pa
tient is often so offensive that he be-
comes an object of disgust. After a
time liberation sets in. the spongy
bones are attacked. and frequently
destroyed. A constant source of dis
comfort is the dripping of the puru-
lent secretions into the throat, some
times producing inveterate bronchi-
tbs, which is usually the exciting
cause of pulmonary disease. The
