Home Wedding in westminster.

At FIVE o clock on Tuesday afternoon, June
10th, beautiful and impressive wedding took
place at the residence of Mr.. A. II. Huber,
East Main Street. Westminster. The bride
was his second daughter, Miss Alice Cary, one
of the most popular young ladies in Westmin-
ster, and the groom Mr.. Lewis Bruce LAWYER,
a prominent young merchant OF kushville,
Illinois. The parlor was tastetully decorated
with palms and daisies, and lighted by cleo
tric lights beneath yellow silk shades Eight
young ladies, friends Of the bride, first entered
the parlor, carrying daisy chain, with which
they formed an aisle through which the bri-
dial party passed, at the appointed hour, pre-
ceded by the two ushers, Messrs. Walter II.
Davis and Winter d. Huber, brother of the
bride. The marriage service was performed
by Rev. A. D. Melvin, of the NJ. z. Church,
former pastor, assisted by Elder Ephraim
Stoner, of the German Baptist Church. The
bride wore a becoming costume of novelty
cloth, and carried bouquet of white carna-
tons and sweet peas. The boutonnniers OF
the ushers and the table decorations were OF
the same sweet flowers. The eight brides
maids were Misses Margaret and Hattie Huber,
sisters of the bride; Misses Agnes and Grace
Lowell, of Waynesboro, Pa; Miss Katherine
Lloyd, of Baltimore; Miss Ellen Harper, of
Upper Marlboro; Misses Mamie and Eva
Rinker, of Westminster, who, in their light
summer costumes, formed beautiful picture,
as they carried their daisy chain. After the
ceremony reception was held. Amongst
the guests was Rev. DIR. S. b. Sutherland,
former pastor, with whom the bride was
special favorite. The presents were numer-
Gus and beautiful. Mr. and Mrs. Lawler left
on the fast mail, en- route for their future
home, Nashville, Illinois. The bridesmaids
and number of friends accompanied them
to the train and showered them with rice and
congratulations, as the train pulled out from
the station.
The bride will be greatly missed by large
circle of friends, with whom she was prime
favorite Particularly in her church, her
Sunday school, the Christian Endeavor Soc-
ETY. and the Sunday Afternoon service at the
Aims House, will her absence be felt, and
those with whom she has worshiped and per
formed her labor of love amongst the poor
and afflicted, join in mingling with cougratu-
lations the Christian Endeavor benediction so
familiar to her, "Mizpah,'' and wish for her
in her new home as much love and sunshine
as surrounded her in her home here.

MCKINLEY AND HOBART.
A Tame Conventicn-Silver Men
Bolt-A Straddle Platform.


The Republican National Convention met
at ST. Louis, NO., on Tuesday last Charles
w. Fairbanks, of Indiana, was made tempo
rary chairman, and delivered a speech eulo-
giving the Republican party and its achieve
ments and criticising the Democratic party
and its record. On the financial question he
stood out for the present system, until bime-
tallism was agreed upon by International
action. DR.. Samuel Sale, Jewish Rabbi,
opened the convention with prayer.
WV. johnson, ex-p ostmaster of Baltimore,
was made one of the assistant sergeants-at-
arms, and A. w. Monroe, of Baltimore, was
chosen tally clerk. James A. Gary repre-
scented Maryland on the committee on reso-
lutions, w. d. Straughn on the committee on
rules and order of business, W. j. Smith on
the committee on organization and Robert
p. Graham on the committee of credentials.
The convention on Wednesday did nothing
more than effect a permanent organization.
John NJ. Thurston, of Nebraska, was made
permanent chairman. Vim. Master was elect
ed Vice. President for Maryland. The Higgins
delegation was seated from Delaware, and Ad-
dicks and his friends predict the state will go
Democratic.
The proceedings ON the first and second
days we're painfully dull and monotonous.
The program was known to all, and there was
no enthusiasm and an evident desire to finish
the work in hand aud go home.
The third day opened with larger attend
ance and with more life. The platform was
to be adopted and the silver men were to bolt
the convention and ticket, which they did.
This episode created some excitement, though
it was anticipated.
The platform is long and tedious. The
country cares little for any of it except that
part referring to finance and taxation. The
platform will be published next week.
After the adoption of the platform, nomi-
nations were made. Allison, Reed, Morton,
Mckinley and Quay were placed before the
convention. None received much applause
except Mckinley, and the vote showed 66l4
for Mckinley, S4s for Reed, So for Morton,
6lJ for Quay and 35R for Allison. Morton
received vote from Alabama, from Florida
and only SIS from New York, II New Workers
voting for Mckinley. Six Pennsylvanians
voted for Mckinley. Allison and Mckinley
were the only two to get the solid votes of
their states.
Garret A. Hobart, of New Jersey, was
nominated for Vice President, receiving 533!
votes. and the other votes were scattered
among four other candidates. all Eastern men
except Gen. James A. Walker, who received
the "a votes of his state.

The Republican Platform.

The Republican national platform declares
for the single gold standard until bimetallism
is established by International agreement, and
pledges the party to work to secure it. Eng
land, with whom we have our chief foreign
commerce. has free trade. Did the Republi
can party ask England or cater to her when
the protective policy was adopted? If bi-
metallism is good for the people, which the
party acknowledges by pledging the candi-
dates to work to secure it, why wait for inter
national agreement? If the party believes in
the single gold standard, why talk of bimetal-
ism? If it is for bime'dllism, why declare
for the single gold standard The fact is the
platform is simply bid for votes and success.
If New England and the East we're for bimet-
allisn and the Pacific states for the single
gold standard, the platform would have de-
declared for bimetallism until gold monomet-
alIism could be secured by international agree
ment. The electoral votes of the Pacific
states are very few as compared to those OF
New England and the East, hence the differ
enee.
While the platform declares for gold, Me-
Kinley's whole record on the money question
has been for bimetallism. He maintained
profound silence during the late contest for
delegates, and he was ready to stand on either
a gold or silver platform. Two-thirds of the
delegates instructed for him were chosen on
silver platforms, and later the most OF these
we're bought or persuaded to abandon their
principles and vote for the single gold stand
ard. New England and the East were nearly
solid for other candidates than Mckinley, but
the South and West prevailed and Mckinley
was willing to take the gold standard, with a
squint at silver, so as to hold New England,
the East, the South and West at the polls in
November. The platform is not honest and
Mckinley does not know where he stands, no
matter what his Letter of Acceptance may say.
He is theorist pure and simple, and vas
cillating one at that, except in the matter of
protection.
We hope the Democratic party will stand
square for bimetalism or gold alone, without
auy reference to international agreement.
Lei US nave square anu uhequlNocdi uecia-
ration.
An unequivocal stand for a sound and stable
currency, provided for by the constitution and
which prevailed until the Republican party
gave us the unconstitutional greenback and
then the single gold standard, will sweep the
country. An endorsement of the present fnan-
cial policy, with a squint toward bimetalhsm,
will make the issue doubtful, with a third party
in field and the chances in favor of no election
by the people and the election of Mckinley
by the present House of Representatives,
which is largely Republican.

Principal of the state Normal School.

Principal of the State Normal School.
On June 80, il is announced, the State
Board of Education viii meet and elect a
principal of the State Normal School. The
position is now filed by Prof. +. B. Pretty
man, an accomplished gentleman, an enthu-
siastic worker in the cause of education, and
an able and efficient general superintendent
of state education. The ADVOCATE has al
ways conceded that by the verdict at the polls
last November the Republican party has a
right to fill every public position in the state,
except those relating to the public schools.
That system ought not 10 be made the foot.
ball of politics, subject to change with every
change of political control. Prof Prettyman
has made a most efficient state superintendent
and there can be no cause for electing some
one in his stead except that he is Democrat
and not IA Republican. Ifpolities were taught
in the public schools, then there would be
reason for change. But the school system
has been kept aloof from partisan politics in
Maryland, and should ever be. When once
the partisan hand seizes it, it might as well be
abolished for its usefulness will be destroyed
A change of principal at this time would
most likely work injury to the cause of public
education. Prof. Prettyman has been labor
ing to secure sum approximating $780,
600 which he claims belongs to Maryland as
her share of the sale Of government lands,
and should he not be continued the labor and
time he has given to the matter would be lost.

If required an annual outlay of $4,000
to insure family against any serious conse
quences from an attack of bowel complaint
during the year there are many who would
feel it their duty to pay it; that they could not
afford to risk their lives, and those of their
family for such an amount. Any one can get
this insurance for % cents, that being the
price of bottle of Chamberain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy. In almost
every neighborhood some one has died from
an attack of bowel complaint before medicine
could be procured or a physician summoned.
One or two doses of this remedy will cure any
ordinary case. 1t never fails. Can you af-
ford to take the risk for so small an amount :?

At the annual meeting of the trustees of
Western Maryland College, held on Wednes-
day, the erection of an Auditorium to cost
$40, 900 was authorized, and work on it will
begin at once The College has outgrown
two auditoriums, and the trustees are wise in
deciding to put up special building of ample
dimensions. The one now used can be
utilized for study or dormitories.
The trustees adopted resolution extending
an invitation to the German Baptists to hold
their next annual meeting on the College
grounds. The importance of this action lies
in the fact that the usual attendance on these
