Now we respectfully protest against
the emitting Of any Of the usual OBJ
servanoes OF the occasion. We do
not ask or expect useless display, but
there must not be omitted one "jot
or title OF the forms that precedent
has established.
We feel sure that Mr.. Bryan will
respect the notifcation-he cannot
afford to do otherwise, but we could
not expect him to receive gladly or
proudly that which is presented with
hssitancy or an apparent conscious
ness that the giver feels he is offering
something for him to be ashamed of.
Do it properly, Chairman Allen,
or get out of the way and let some
man who is proud of his party do it
as it should be done.

Hon. John A. SibIey.

TIE Hon. John A. Sibley, perhaps
better known as our little brother, is
candidate for congress in the
Second.
Elsewhere in this paper we print
a lot of nice things that the press has
been saying about him.
1t is the most natural thing in the
world to suppose that "tho green
eyed monster" will whisper in the
ear of come other candidate for con-
gress, "lhat fellow is using the
columns of THE PEopLE's PATTY
PAPER to boost hia own brother"
This would be serious bill of in
dictment under any oircumstar ces.
But when you are working on a
paper owned and controlled by a
company that has the significant
name OF OUR Publishing Company,
it simply amounts to a verdict.
So We confess our guilt, beg for
mercy and recite the following ex-
tenuating circumstances
We always have had, and hope
always will have, an irresistible i'm
pulse to turn every thing, whether it
be squirrel, vote or paragraph,
to the side of the tree that the said
John a. happened to be on.
We have only printed the nice
things that the Democratic papers
have said, aud if forgiven will promise
to print any nice things that the OPP
posing press may say about our other
congressional nominees - provided
they do az the modest candidate in
the Second. out them ont and send

Faces.
Very respectfully,
M. W. HOWARD.

Mr.. Watson's cut in the Brockton
Diamond, presents by far the most
interesting face of all the candidates,
a face that bears the marks of suffer-
ing, and Of kindly sympathy for all
Gods creatures. 1t is a face intel.
lectual, strong, and refined; not q
faint Of ease or smartness in it.
Mckinley looks as if hs had always
had life of ease, and meant to here.
after, whatever creditors suffered.
'Bryan's face, though handsome,
has the "look at me" expression in it,
which somewhat detraots from its
marked physical beauty.
Sewall looks like a comfortable
bank president.

While the letters printed below
gives Col. Thornton every right to
decline the nomination offered him
at the late Warm Springs conven-

WASHINGTON, D. G, Aug. rs,
1s96.-Dear Sir: You will see by
the enclosed official statement and
interviews the attitude of the ma
tional executive committee in regard
to candidates. Both Bryan and
Watson must remain on our ticket to
the end. ANY other course would
mean not only the defeat of the re.
form movement in this campaign,
but il wcud mean the demoraliza.
ton and disorganiz alton of the Peo.
pies party as well.
We are here situated whore we
can look over tbs entire field, and
for the good OF the party we ask
you as member OF the notification
committee to take no action for the
present. The course of wisdom and
moderation always proves the best
10 the end. In due Tins such action
will be taken in this matter as will
be satisfactory to all and leave the
party in a diguifed and honorable
position. {
Whatever action the notification
committee takes, it should take
unanimously, and after counselling
with those who have the campaign
in charge and are responsible for it's
outcome.
The Peoples party must be pre-
served, and this fight for monetary
reform must be won; and no action
should be taken by anyone who has
the cause at heart, which will in any
way retard either result.
Sentiment is now rapidly chang
ing to Watson, not only among
western Populists, but also among
southern Democrats, in most graft.
lying way. We should do nothing
of doubtful propriety while matters
are thus happily shaping themselves
in our favor. A little later it is very
probable that we can take action
about the notification Of our candi-
dates, at time when the effect and
results will be most salutary. In
the meantime let us keep prominent
ly the idea that Bryan and Watson
is the cooperative ticket that all
good silver m9n of all parties should
support. Yours for victory,
MARION BUTLER,
Chairman.

Fort PAYNE, Ala, Aug. 81, 1861
Hon. Marion Butler, Washington,
D. C.--Desr Sir: Replying to
yours of recent dale, addressed to
me as a member of the notification
committee, desire to say that l for
one think we have been playing the
baby act long enough. Ii we are
men it is time that we pull aside our
"pinafores" and donned mons cloth
ing.
For great party with almost two
million voters we occupy q most
humiliatiug attitude as we bow the
knee before the Democratic throne,
and wait in breathless suspense, with
bowed head and ayeFted eyes for
our supposed allies to bid US arise
and go in peace. I think we are
treating Mr.. Watson wrong, and
while am disposed to be conserva-
tive and patient, yet / feel inclined
to join in some sort of movement to
relieve ourselves OF our present hui
initiating attitude unless those whose
duty it is to act first, take some de-
cided steps at an early day. Only
two months now until election, and
we are all at sea--noi knowing
whether our presidential candidate
will aocept-afraid' to breathe for
fear he will not.

he tells us that all are certainly not fresh,
for 1t Is the custom TIA ship ducks eggs
which have been incubated to within q
few days of Matching These eggs are
brought on board the steamers packed. in
shallow baskets with layers Of soft Chinese
paper between and around them. The
baskets are placed about the deck swung
to tho awning supports and occasionally
are put In position near the boilers, but ms
rule the heat OF the climate Is quite suf
dcient to complete tho Matching Of the
eggs. 1t therefore comes about that at the
end of the voyage young ducks are landed
at Singapore or Bangkok in lieu of tho
eggs which originally formed part of the
cargo, As a rule, tho birds come TO no

Mrs. Scott planned delightful sur
prise for the boarders in Ladies' Hall on
May day. The tables were removed
from the dining room, and the four pill.
lars in the room gaily decorated as May
poles. supper was served from baskets
in true picnic style.
The fourth Of May each year is an inn
portant day to Miss Gclston, but until
this year she did not know that it was
of any importance to the matron and
boarders in Ladies' Hall She learned
this when she came in TO supper that
evening. The tables aud room were
gay with flowers, and there was more
than the usual bountiful supply OF good
things TO eat. Miss Gelston was told
that it was her birthday, and the
spread was IN honor of that event.
After supper speeches were made and a
happy hour spent Miss Gelston was
given a pretty souvenir of the occasion.
