A Bit Of DinlOmRcY.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Yes" said Mrs. Gimp. as the door closed
behind the new maid, she's the most re-
liable girl ever hired. or course, she ism t
a beauty"
We'll, don't know about that" inter-
rupted Mr.. Gimp. with some suddenness.
1t depends a good deal upon what you
consider beauty. The girl has a lovely eye,
hasn't she. Briggs?'
"A fine eye" said Briggs.
And beautifully rounded arm Did
you notice her arm. Briggs?"
1T was nice arm" said Briggs.
At this moment Mrs. Gimp arose sud-
denly and left the apartment

"Listen!" said Mr. Gimp.
The sound of voices In alteration came
from the direction of the kitchen

But don't see," said Briggs, "what-"
The truth is interposed Mr. Gimp, 1.-The
new girl couldn't broil a steak for sour
apples! You see?"
Mint In the Sea.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
1t is we'll known that there is gold In
sea water, and every now and again a
paragraph goes the rounds telling of the
fortunes beyond the dreams of avarice
that a practicable patent for reaping the
golden harvest of the deep would bring
This subject of perennial interest has been
again broached by Prof. Lversedge, who
holds the chair of chemistry in Sydney
University. In q very remarkable and
exhaustive series of experiments which he
has made there is considerable evidence
in favor of the presence of gold In sea
water off the New South Wales coast in
the proportion Of about half to one grain
per ton. or, in round numbers, from l3O to
2tO tons of gold per cubic mile. This of
course, would mean enormous amount
for the whole of the ocean, the cubic con-
tents OF which are put down approximate
ly at +D.pO,OW cubic miles. If the goll
were uniformly present at the rate of one
grain per ton the total amount would be
over 1U.OO.WO,OU tons of gold. 1t Is sug-
gested that II Edison would make a modi-

pacity of ocean liners. In addition to car
rying passengers and cargo they would
plow the deep to insure a rich haul eacn
passage by hanging d dredger astern
which at the end of the voyage would be
relieved of its auriferous and valuable col
lection. Although this would place bimet-
alll5m In a serious position, the cheap
ening of gold would have a valuable bear
ing on medicine, the value of gold salts
in therapeutics has been fully recognized
Apart from these considerations Prof
Liversedge's investigation is an important
contribution to the chemistry and probably
geology of the subject

Senator Elkins received a perfect oya-
tion, lasting several minutes, upon taking
the chair. He spoke for about an hour
sounding the keynote Of West Virginia 8
campaign. and was repeatedly greeted with
vociferous applause. Upon the close of his
address the usual committees were an
ported. and the convention adjourned until
o'clock. Mr.. Elktns opposed free coin
age.
At o'clock. to which time the repuhli-
can convention adjourned, John w. Holt
of Taylor county was made permanent
chairman, with Henry Tulley of Wood
county. secretary.
Sam Burdette of Kanawha county NOM
mated George Wesley A tkinson of Wheel
ing for governor. There was no onnosi-
ton. The nomination was received with
tremendous applause. Fully a score of
delegates seconded the nomination in brief
speeches, after which Mr. G. w. At

port eastern men. Coupled with all these
sentiments. Is hatred OF the democrats,
famed by populist leaders and augmented
by personal attacks on those leaders.
The republicans are determined that 1t
shall be the popuists who make conces-
sions in North Carolina. and determined
that they shall themselves elect governor.
They say w. A. Guthrie, the popuist slated
for governor, can go on the supreme court.
Two bets are offered by James A. Cheek
Of the republican state executive committee
fl 600 to 81 that Mckinley carries North
Carolina; $1,000 to $500 that Russell is
elected
There is no manner Of doubt that. as has
been stated. the republicans and the popu-
lists desire to cooperate in this state. The
money question is the lion in the path. Both
these parties at this particular time regret,
perhaps. that it is issue. The republic
cans seek to induce the populists to CO.
operate on state matters, giving the largest
liberty as to national issues Each of the
three parties in the state is entitled to
equal representation on the election boards,
SO, of course the two parties fusing or CO.
operating would control two-thirdS of the
election machinery. This is another great
incentive for populists and republicans to
get together" 1t is alleged by republicans
that this control of elections is worth %,
900 votes.
Republicans Confident.
Republicans from their talk unquestion-
ably think they have the populists under
their thumb, SO to speak. The populists
make a feeble protest and say they offered
their ultimatum April II last, that republi-
cans must take the free silver pledge. Re-
publicans say this reasser.ion is a mere
bluff: in fact, worse than a bluff, an ex-
piring effort.
The republicans assert that the demo-
cratic mill owners and other men In like
positions will, to a great degree, vote for
Mckinley, while standing stoutly for their
own state ticket They count on 10000
democratic votes for Mckinley. Cheek,
who lives in the fifth district, says this
class of voters is surprisingly large.
The populists have for many months
claimed that they had a large negro ele-
ment in their party. Inquiries of some
country popuists to this elected replies
that q per cent Of the negro vote of their
counties is Dopulist.
Republican State Chairman Holton and
Congressman Pearson venture the state
ment that their party's strength is now

Yesterday's Sessions.

the nation from financial dishonor" the del
egates cheered Justify. The prayer contin-
ued In the same strain, and created quite
a sensation.
Chairman Filley addressed the conven-
ton briefly, and closed by Introducing J. H.
Boutwell, as temporary chairman. Much
confusion appeared during the progress Of
Mr.. Bothwell's speech, and it was given
but Scant attention.
When the chairman had concluded an
adjournment to o'clock was taken. The
credentials committee, which will decide
as to contending delegations Endorsed by
Filley and r. c. Kerens, members of the
national committee, stands to 6 in favor
of the Kerens faction.
The convention reassembled at 4 o'clock,
but the committee on credentials was I'M
able to report, and a recess was taken until
o'clock. At that hour the credentials
committee was still out, and the conven-
ton adjourned until $50 o'clock this morn
ing. No business whatever was done.

One Democratic Faction Thinks the
state IL Debatnble Ground.
Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 81, 1896.
The free silver democrats who are in con-
troll of the party machinery in this state,
sincerely believe that Ohio Is debatable
ground this year. The fact that the money
question will be made an important issue
In the campaign, if not the chief issue,
certainly introduces an element Of doubt
as to how Ohio will vote which has not ex-
listed In any recent election. In the three
state elections which have been held since
Cleveland was elected to the presidency
the last time the republican plurality has
ranged close to the 100000 mark. Last fall
Gov. BushnelPs plurality over ex-Gov.
Campbell was little over $1,000. He had
clear majority over both the democratic
and populist candidates of over 5000. If
the populists and democrats effect fusion
IN this state, as Is expected, their COM
mense republican plurality given Bushnell
by half hundred thousand votes.
Inc Tree silver sentiment Is strong, how
ever, among the republican farmers, and
large acquisitions in the rural districts. It
seems likely now. however, that this defec-
ton Will be more than Offset by the boiling
OF the gold standard democrats, who will
taken into consideration, however. that
these large republican pluralities have been
given on very light vote, indicating that
a large element Of the democrats suked at

1t depends largely on what the voters were
sulklng about. On questions Of tariff Gov.
Mckinley has always been able to call out

speaker in this state. When even Sherman
could not secure fair audiences, as in the
national campaign Of 1892, McKinley's
meetings were well attended. This would
seem to indicate that protection is good
Issue to appeal to the working people of
this state on: Mckinley, standing in his
own person for this issue, regardless of
what the issues of the platform are, will
probably secure great many votes in this
state at least who are for the free coinage
