NetC Quarters.

Brilliant Assemblage Entertained IL. the
Netc Quarters.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, March 9-The
rooms of the reorganized Jonathan Club
were thronged by a gay and brilliant
crowd this evening, the occasion being the
formal opening of the clubs new quarters
at l32 South Spring street.
The new home occupies the entire Corfu
building, the three floors being devoted to
the use of the members. The parlors and
the wine and card rooms are on the first
floor, while on the others are the dining
room, kitchen, pantries and sleeping
rooms. The finishing is artistic and in
several styles in the different apartments.

lor, C. II. White. Hancock Banning. F. X.

goyne and Z. w. Tufts.
Several orchestras were in attendance
and played during the affair. Refresh
ments were served In the banquet hall, each
guest being presented with souvenir pin
on which were engraved the initials of the
club. A delightful musical programme
was rendered. The affair was attended by
many IeauInS society people.
The Jonathan Club organized as a Re-
publican club by Colonel Chamberlain
during the last campaign and started out
in modest way in a building adjoining
its present palatial quarters The club
cut quite figure during the campaign,
but when that was over the interest died
out and the membership fell off.
In the meantime change had taken
place IN the management, and the gen.
tlemen at the head of the organization
determined to eliminate the political ele-
ment and convert it into a social club,
pure and simple. This being decided
upon, it was determined to make 1t the
leading organization of its kind in South
ern California.
The lease on the Corfu building was Sc
cured, and while the undertaking was a
heavy one, sufficient capital was guaran-
teed to go ahead with the work the result
of which was seen this evening.
The officers of the club, under whose
direction the organization mas reached its
present positions, are as follows: Presi-
dent, George L. Alexander; first vice-presi
dent, j. B. Bushnell; second vice-presi-
dent, j. K. Rule; treasurer, Charles III.
White; secretary, Z. M. Burgoyne.
These gentlemen, with the following,
make up the board of directors: Hancock

sANAToR QUAY VISITS M'KlNLEY.
But Declines to Make Public the Object
of His Visit.

Canton, O.. May Ex-senator NJ. :.
Quay, Of Pennsylvania, accompanied
by J. Hay Brown, of Lancaster, Pa,
arrived in the city this morning over
the Pennsylvania railroad at 10 o'clock.
GOV. Mckinley having received tele-
gram, saying that Senator Quay would
pay him visit, met him in the modest
family carriage
To a reporter ON the train, Senator
Quay declined to talk as TO the obiec;
Of his mission, saying merely that be
was paying GOV. Mckinley a friendly
visit.
Mr.. Brown said that he was merely
travelling as Mr.. Quay's companion
and had no knowledge as To the nature
of his mission and that Senator Quay
intended returning east during the
afternoon.
Cleveland, O., May GA special
from Canton, Ohio, says; Senator
Quay left Canton at 1923 this afternoon
without giving out the suspicion Of q
statement. He did not appear to be
i'm a cordial humor and rather snapped
at newspaper men. The outcome Of
the interview is not known. neither
Quay nor Mckinley would listen to
ference amounted to much. There
was no breach between the gentlemen
as Mckinley drove with the Senator
to the train. \ close friend of Dick
Quay, who came with the party. said
that even he did not know what his
father came here for.
Canton, Ohio, May 22.-Gov. McKin-
ley left tonight for Cleveland where
he will be over Sunday, the guest of
Mr. Hanna, returning Monday with
Mrs. Mckinley.
1t is understood that the visit of
Senator Quay to Maj. Mckinley to-
day was of the friendliest character.
1t is not known what subjects were
discussed as both gentlemen declined
to be interviewed, but it is believed it
related to the policy of the party in
the Presidential contest. The Senator
lunched with the Governor and the
latter accompanied him to the train.
Their separation at the station was of
the most cordial and hearty relations
and clearly manifested to on-loo<ers
that the visit had been of a most agree
able and satisfactory nature. Senator
Quay and Mr.. Brown left on the 1921
Fort Wayne train-Senator QUAY for
his home in Beaver and Mr. Brown for
Lancaster, Pa.

NO FUSION WITH POPULISTS.

St Louis, Mo. May 22.-The an
nouncement from Indiana that the
Populists of every State in the Union
are to fuse with the Democrats in case
a free silver platform is adopted has
excited much interest among the local
Populists. Chairman Taubeneck, of
the Peoples party National executive
committee is quoted as saying: II
know absolutely nothing of the story.
No Populist bi-metallist or Democrat
ever mentioned this to me- If the
Populists of Indiana have agreed to a
combine of this kind they have not TAX
en- any one into their confidence. SO
far as the National committee of the
Peoples party is concerned, there is
no truth in the report"

The straddie by the Republican
State convention, Rev. Dan. Longs
harangue for "sound money" and
Pritchard's talk for "silver" made a
mixture that recalls the song the Eng
fish Jacobites used to sing:
"God bless the King, God bless the
Faiths Defenderl
The Devil take the Pope and the Pre-
tenderl
But which the Pretender is and which
the King,
God bless as all, is quite another
thing"

THE ORIGIN OF THE STRADDLE
BUG.

The Caucasian was very correct in
terming Senator Pritchard a 'strad-
die bug and the term has become
common to apply to such men as Nc
Kinley, Pritchard, Russell and other
politicians who are trying to run with
the hare and hold with the hound. The
Springfield Republican claims to be
the first paper that used the term in
the vocabulary of politics, and says:
'It is interesting to note, also,
that in natural history we find
straddle bug, which, according to
the Century dictionary, is "a sort
of tumble bug, scarabaeid beetle
with long legs, of the genus Can
thon.' This locates it very near
Canton, and the superlative fitness
of the expression will finally be
shown if only the straddle bug Nc
Kinley is finally made to tumble"

SEND THE STRONGEST MEN.

L
The Democratic conventions so far
held. in which the silver men were IN
the majority, have elected asdelega'es
IN the National convention men OF
National reputation who VIII have no
superiors and few equals in that body.
It has often been the case that posi-
tons on the National delegations
have been given as a matter of per-
sonal compliment. In ordinary times
no harm followed this practice, but
this year no man ought to be selected
as a personal compliment or as a re
ward for services rendered.
The men sent to represent North
Carolina in the National convention
at Chicago ought to be the ablest and
widest known men in the party, men
of experience and wisdom, men of par
liamentary ability and wide acquaint-
ance, men who can meet the oppo-
nents of free coinage in debate if need
be. More than this: they ought to
be men of the highest character, who
enjoy the confidence of the people.
Missouri sends Governor Stone,
Senator Vest and Senator Cockerell at
the head of the delegation; Tennessee
sends Senators Harris and Bate; Ne
braska sends VIM. J. Bryan; Iowa
sends ex-Gov. Boies; Alabama sends
Senator Morgan-and so it goes, every
State where the silver sentiment pre-
walls sending it's strongest men at the
head of the delegation. North Caro-
lima ought to do likewise. 1t has
many able men who would be true to
the silver sentiment in the State who
would accept the trust and carry 1T
out sacredly. As a rule the men who
are best fitted will not become candi-
dates for a osition fraught with
great and, this year, peculiar respon-
sibility. 1t is for the party to resolve
in North Carolina to consider its first
men and call upon those best fitted to
undertake the delicate mission, more
delicate and difficult than since 1860
A split in the party, that would be
attended with disastrous results, is
imminent. North Carolina wants cool
men and wise men who will be able to
truly represent its convictions and
seek to carry them out without di-
vision in the party or weak surrender
of the principles of the men they rep
resent.
1t is apparent that an attempt will
be made by some of the gold standard
men to control the convention by bo-
gus contests from Nebraska, Illinois,
Texas, and perhaps other States. This
is the only danger the silver men now
have to fear This danger viii not be
worth considering if the convention is
composed of brave and determined
men who desire nothing but justice,
will have nothing else, ana whose
knowledge and experience is such that
no opponents are their superior in
parliamentary tactics.
There is no prescription of any
Democratic advocates of gold in con-
tending that every delegate from
North Carolina shall be earnest and
able advocates of free coinage. 1t is
but insisting upon the time-honored
rule that the majority shall control
in time when the failure of the ma
iority to be in command means the
surrender, not only of just princirae,
but of the only policy upon which the
party has any hope of success.

Mason Bradley and Miss Annie Patien ce
Warehouse were married bN Rev. Dean
Stills of st. Luke's Cathedral. The
guests were confined to the two families,
and few of the intimate friends Of the
bride and groom. The house was taste
fully decorated with potted palms and
| crysanthemnms by the young lady
friends OF the bride. Throughout the
afternoon, and during the ceremony, Gil
bert's orchestra played delightfully."-, and
at the close of tie ceremony rendered
the Mendelssohn Wedding March.
The bride was charming in q rich
white MORE antique trimmed with old
point lace, and carried bouquet Of lilies
of the valley. Her veil was fastened
with cluster Of the same flowers. The
groom was in mourning costume. After
the ceremony delicious breakfast was
served byeMr. J. J. Pooler of The Sher-
wood. There has not been wedding In
Portland for years where the table was
SO artistic In its furnishings, or the SER
vice SO perfect. The exquisite taste dis
played in these matters was only
equalled by the breakfast itself, which
was said by those present to have been
fully worthy of the best caterers of New
York and Boston.
There was profusion of most costly
and beautiful wedding rememErances,
show in the popu larity In which Mr..
and Mrs. Bradley are held. At few
moments before six O'Clock the bride and
groom left for the Jrain which bore them
westward, followed by the usual shower
Of rice and old shoes. They will be alb
sent about three weeks. A number OF
the guests present were from Boston and
New York.
The wedding and brides cakes were
triumphs of the oonfeotioner's art at The
Sherwood. Miss Nellie Knight of State
street was so fortunate as to receive the
slice containing the ring.
