honor of their marriage, assembled near
their home, and provided with q choice
collection of tin cans, proceeded with
the presentation OF carefully prepared

Ooe IF the party said this morning
that the performance continued until
the tin cans were all beaten into blocks
f bullion, and still they were not
accorded the slightest recognition.
Shortly after daylight one of the
gentlemen who had been with the
eereuaders, repaired to the house of the
newly married pair, snd fired salute Of
one gun in their honor. He had 40
enormous fire cracker, about % inches
long and seven in diameter; and when
the report of its explosion was heard,
wild stories of dynamite attack upon
the city became current upon the streets
1t was only part OF the serenade. how
ever, and low all is serene.

Great men do not always agree. Since
the adjournment nf the Chicago conven-
tion there has been considerable talk Of
the democratic purity stealing the free
coinage plank from the popuists, and
this has been repeated very dogmatically
and emphaticaly sInce the st. Louis
popuist convention, Such assertions are
not true, history ie against them. In the
democratic convention OF 1892, tho plat
form declared TOR bimetallism, and the
MASSES supported it on that ground.
That Mr. Cleveland betrayed his trust
and used all the power OF the admins
tration 10 defeat free silver, and in so do
ing was aided by Il few eAatern demo
Gratis, is known Of all men, but for this
he, and they, not the democratic m asses i,
are responsible. Certain it is that
during all the silver agitation a
large majority OF the democrats have
sustained the cause, And by their
persistent efforts kept the ISSUE 10
the front. This year they determined
| that there should be no mistake, and
the result is the Chicago platform and
