The building committee, which
is composed of w. M. Farr, Geo. E.
Brett and r. d. Hubbard, presented
a report through Chairman Farr.
The latter reviewed the various steps
which were taken in the building of
the church. The first action was
taken in September, 1889; the archi-
tects' report was inspected in May,
1890, the report was read and confirm
ed, and the trustees were instructed
to 60 forward at their discretion; the
work went on slowly, and at meet
ing in May, 1891, the old lot was
deemed too small, and it was voted to
change the location in October, 1891,
the building committee was appoint
ed by the trustees; in the spring of
1892, the contract for the foundation
was let; in the spring of 1898, the con-
tract was let for building the walls
and enclosing the building, but the
financial panic came on when the
walls were half up, and it was thought
best to suspend the work; in the
spring of 1894, the work was resumed.
and in the fall of that year the chapel
was completed; Dec. 18th, 1894, pos
session was taken of the chapel, and
the rooms in the basement were fin
ished by the ladies' society; nothing
more was done until the spring of
1896, and the building is now nearly
completed.

Literary Notes.

The home life of the upper classes in
the fifteenth century was the achieve
ment and possession of the women.
They made it and they enjoyed it, and,
although the man was the lord the
master, the cause Of the institution, it
was not he who animated il or who
stamped upon il the impress of his spirit.
His life was passed III camps and courts.

knights in the saddle during the greater
part of the fourteenth and fifteenth cen

children and the servants, in the manor

domestic life of the times. The Lady

years of her married life never made Il

The opinion held in some quarters
that the republican bosses are going
to dictate who will be the candidate
need not cause any uneasiness i'll the
party. There is no certainty at all that
the bosses will unite upon anybody.
Even if they do unite. it is far from GER
tain that their voice will prevail.
Nearly all the bosses were against
Harrison at Minneapolis, but they ac-
complished nothing. \ national con
vention Is too big a gathering TO be
managed by cabal of local magnates,
even if these be as astute and resource
full as Quay and Platt, the greatest of

of the people, whatever those prefer
encCs may be, are going to be the

Harrison on ! wo Nominations,

Harrison on Wo Nominations.
One expression in Harrisons with
drawal from the list of presidential can
didates Will attract some attention,
apart from that given TO the subject
matter of that letter. 1t is this: The
republican party has twice in national
convention given me its endorsement,
and that is enough. ! think the voters
of our party are now entitled TO have Il
new name. =" 1t is clear by this that the
ex-president thinks two nominations are
all that the average president or presi-
dental aSpirant should get. Possibly
he thinks that two nominations are
enough for even the greatest and best of
aspirants whether elected once or not.
AT any rate, many persons hold this
view on both points The question Of
giving three nominations to single
candidate, however. seldom excites
much concern Very few person, have
ever received three nominations, or have
ever had the faintest chance of getting
them.
Jefferson was Il presidential candidate
three times, and 80 was Jackson. each
being defeated in the first canvass and
successful in his second and third. But
national delegate conventions Were not
thought of in Jcilerson'S time, nor did
. they come into being until Jackson's
third nomination. Moreover, ut the
time of Jacl,ou's first candidacy he was
the nominee OF only tluc ton of his
party. The element of (which was
the larger element oi jhe only party i'll
existence at tnat time. and which soon
afterwards formally and finally took the
name demOcracy-had one more candi-
date besides Jackson William II. GRAVY
ford of Georgia, ar tine time that Jack
son made his first race for the presidency.
Clay received three nominations, but
only two OF them Were by assemblages
on the present plan. Grover Cleveland
is the only man who ever received three
nominations from a national delegate
convention of a great party.
The question, therefore, of whether
any man should be allowed three nomi-
nations is not likely TO become burn
ing issue often 1t Is one Of those quoS-
tions on which no rigid rule can reason
ably be laid down. bat ought to be de-
termined 10y the conditions in each par
ticular case If such a requirement of
exclusion had been applied ii 1892, the
democracy might have been beaten i'll
that year for Cleveland unquestion-
ably received many votes in every state
which would have gone 10 no other can
didate Precedent in the case Of nomi-
nation as III that of election counts for
much. If Washington had accepted a
third election, perhaps Jefferson would
have done it, Both unquestionably
could have had it, and if they had taken
it Monroe and Jackson would have
done likewise, although both, according
to the best contemporary evidence. were
glad to step down when their second
terms ended.
However men with such ascendency
in their party and in the country must
always be rarer hereafter than they
Were in the past As the country grows
in population and diversity of aims and
interests the contests in national con
ventions must increase in vigOr, and the
terms Of leadership and power by any
single individual must shorten.

IN CoNCILIAToRY SPIRIT.
William c. Whitney Wants the Fight
to Be on Mild and Per-
SuaSiVo Lines.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 4.-Some of Mr..
Whitney's friends say he has been placed
in false position by oyerzealous support
ers of the gold standard. One of the most
prominent of the men who accompanied
Mr.. Whitney TO Chicago said to-day that
Mr.. Whitney did not come here to be ag-
gressive, but came in conclliatory spirit.
He wanted his fight to be one of mildness
and persuasion, and did not desire the
prominence which he has attained as the
leader of the forces opposed to the adop-
tion of straightout silver platform.
"Mr. Whitney feels somewhat annoyed
by the false position IN which he has been
placed" said this gentleman. HE wants
to bring about harmony by mild persua-
siveness, and not by an aggressive fight
against the, silver men,"
The Massachusetts people are saying
to-day that George Fred Williams should
not stand as one OF the Massachusetts, dele
gates in view of his published interview
showing a leaning toward silver, and they
may make an effort to get him to with
draw. They base this feeling on the
ground that Mr.. Williams was selected by
a convention that declared in favor of the
gold standard, and he therefore does not
represent the feeling of the Democracy of
the State.
