The Democrats of Massachusetts Again
Ask Him to Run for Governor.
Boston, Oct. S.-The Democratic
state convention met in this city to-
day. Ex-Governor William e. Russell
was chosen permanent chairman of
the convention.
The platform was adopted as re-
ported. After pledging allegiance to
''the time honored principles of Jeffer-
sonian Democracy" the convention af-
firms its loyalty to the President and
other party leaders who have 80 cour-
ageously battled for the people against
the errors and iniquities of the Repub-
lican administration"
The country is congratulated on the
repeal of the odious, tyrannicaI cleo
ton laws: on the repeal of measure
of silver imitation, which was the di-
rect cause of the financial panic; on
the repeal of the Mckinley tariff law;
on the abolition of bountics; on the
firm, dignified and conservative CON
duct of our foreign affairs; on the Wig
Orous and timely measures taken to
repress attacks upon their rights and
property of the federal government;
on the reform of abuses in the pen
sion system; on a reduction of many
millions in the appropriations of Con
gress and on the economics and i'm
proyemcnts effected in the various adj
miniStrative branches of the govern
meut"
Regret is expressed at the defeat of
the Wilson bill, and the retirement de-
manded of those Democratic senator's
who contributed to that result. The
claim is made for the new tariff law,
however. that it is an Improvement
upon the Mckinley law.
Hon. George Frederick Williams
then placed in nomination as a candi-
date for the governorship Hon. John
Il. Russell. The nomination of Mr..
Russell was made by acclamation.
Charles f. Stratton was nominated for
lieutenant governor.

The Languages OF Palestine.

AS regards the languages spoken ~
Palestine in the time of Christ, much
that is of high Importance has resulted
from recent exploration. A dedicn-
ton to Herod, was written both in
Aramaic and in Greek, and there arc
a great many Greek texts of this age in
all parts of the country which show MS
tina. the old Canaanite religions had
not yet died out, but were mingled
with Greek mythology, so that the
names of native and of Greek dieties
stand side by side. The region where
the GreeSS were most numerous was
apparently Decapolis, east of the Sea
of Galilee, and it seems to me prob
able that the people of Gadara, who
kept swine, were Greeks, for the pig
was regarded as an unclean animal
by the Phoenicians and other natives
rs well as by the Jews 1t has often
been disputed whether the gospels

very widely used in Palestine at this
time, and that it was understood by the

the inner court of the temple, and have
found early Jewish bone-boxes on

Breslau. Oct. S.-The .Schlesische lie

change for the worse has taken place
in the condition of the car. The dis

has ordered prayers for the preserva-

up in all the garrison and regimental
churches.
This order is said to be due to tele-
gram received direct from Lividia and
stating that the cars illness has taken

BRAZIL AND ARGENTINE.
President Cleveland to Arbitrate tho
Boundary Dispute.

Bou1dary Dispute.
Washington. Oct. 9.-President Clcvc-
land Is expected to give his decision
as arbitrator of the important bound
airy dispute between Brazil and Argen-
tine soon after his return from BuH
zard's Bay.
Baron Rio Branco. special envoy from
Brazil. accompanied by a large suite, is
now here awaiting the decision. The

arbitration question before taking mp
domestic affairs. 1t is understood he
has made the arbitration his special
study during working hours at BIZ

complicated case, the brief Of Baron
Rio Blanco filling several large vol
umcs. while the maps old treaties. etc.

Mr.. Cleveland has not turned this
mass OF documents over to the state
department, but has undertaken per
sonally to 90 through II and unravcl
the dispute. II Is a self-imposed task
which the president does out Of cour-
