An interesting collateral incident Of the
convention had its very slender basis upon
the necktle or Uncle Dick Band. Among
the negative accomplishments Of the Mis-
souri, statesman enumerated the other day
by a Chicago paper. was this 'Doesn't
wear collars. Sundays excepted" Il seems
that Uncle Dicks ex-coneagues in the
House Of Representatives. including ex-
Gov. Flower Of New York. are pretty well
aware of this Characteristic Of his: and
hence the incident
Admirers Of Uncle Dick had plastered
pictures OF him all over every available
space. The pictures struck everybody who
knew the original personally as being a
little OF in some particular. but they
could not tell precisely what was the mat
ter. Ex-Gov. Flower walked by an art gal
Iery containing only the Missourian's por-
trait. and glanced up al the galaxy Of bu-
collie and argentine beauty set forth there
IN. He shook his head. frowned. rubbed
his eyes and looked again. Whose picture
is that?" he asked. BANDS" was the re-
ply. why that isn't Richard p Bland
Of Missouri exclaimed the ex-governor;
"the man IN the picture wears necktle"
The ex-governor had sat IN congress with
the candidate for years. and at once knew
what 1t was about the picture that was to-
tally unlike Uncle Dick. Later some Of the
Bland boomers hunted up photographs Of
their favorite. Not one Of them showed a
necktIe. The candidate wears a collar, on
Sunday. according to the testimony. But
no man has been found yet who is bold
enough to accuse him OF wearing a neck
tie. and offer proofs in substantiation Of
the charge.
Uncle Dick doesn't wear the superiuous
toggery dictated by fashion. such as col
lars. cuffs and neckties But he has got a
son who. it seems. does enough in that line
to please the most fastidious dresser. His
name is Theodrick. What a nice. aristo-
cratic name that is. to be sure! Sounds
like it might have come from England.
But Of course it didn't, for Uncle Dick
would not have anything that came from
there. Theodrick is spoken OF as a grace
fu young fellow of 20. He went to Chicago
a few days ago to help along his fathers
boom. and the Times-Herald interviewed
him and sketched a picture Of him from
life. The picture shows him attired in nat
ty fashion. with the approved style of long
hair affected by certain swell folks. His
shoes look TO be the latest tooth-pick style.
And above all, he has on a very high stiff
collar, and one of the smartest Of neck
ties.
Theodrlck-how well prince Theodrlck'
would sound. If Uncle Dick went to the
white house! There IS just a suggestion OF
Lord Fauntleroy. Cedric. in the name of
young Mr.. Bland. who wears the collar
and the neckte And the length of his hair,
as shown in the picture, reminds one of
Oscar Wilde. once apostle of aestheticism.
Having had Theodrick introduced. the pub
lie will await with patience to see'how he
wears his necktie and his honors.

The Augusta Chronicle is we'll pleased
with the personnel of the Chicago con-
vention. Indeed. 1t is delighted with it.
The convention. according to the Chron-
icle, ''is one of the most notable gather
ings in the history of American politics. 8"
The Chronicle goes on to say why it is
so notable I'VE cannot enumerate all of

it will be remembered. is one of the
newspapers that has been crying out
against office holders and politicians run
ming the politics Of the people and en-
deavoring to influence the representatives
of the people. Yet the Chronicle names
a long list of the leaders of one of the
greatest gatherings Of Office holders. Of
flee seekers and politicians that ever as

cratic party, and declares it zone of the
most notable gatherings in the history Of
American politics" 1t is, indeed, notable
for being boss-ridden and undemocratic.
But that is not what the Chronicle means.

There are some things in the platform
adopted al Chicago that an democrats
car approve. There are others. however.
and quite a number OF them. which tens
of thousands OF democrats IN an parts
o. tae country viii fan 10 recognize as
lemo-5a-c.
All democrats can approve the declara-
tlons ia respect 90 the tariff. 70 Labor.
taxation. Pacific railroads. pensions. home
rule. cuba and rivers and harbors. AT
democrats. however, VIII not approve the
declarations in respect TO coinage. bon1s.
the currency income tax and railroads
These latter declarations are much more
popuiistic than democratic. l. books very
much as IL they were put into ths plat
form for the express purpose Of currying
favor with the populists. In fact, II we
are not mistaken, Senator Tulman said
iu his speech IN the convention yester-
daL that the purpose OF them IS to inlu-
euce the populists 10 come into the lines
the democratic party. He did not seem
10 take into consideration the fact THAI
the adoption Of popullst declarations
might not break up the popuiist party.
but would pretty certainly drive hun
drsds Of thousands Of democrats out OF
the democratic party.
The coinage declaration Is practically
the declaration that is in the popul.st
platform Of 1892. There is no such decIara-
ton ia the national democratic platform
Of that or any previous year. In 1892
the democratic party declared for an
honest dollar silver dollar
and a paper dollar having the
same purchasing power as a gold dollar.
This year it declares for a 50-cent dollar.
In 1892 the democratic party declared in
favor Of a state bank currency. This
year It declares in favor OF a paper cur
rency issued directly from the treasury.
That is what the popullsts demanded in
lS92-national currency.
The declaration m favor Of an income
tax is practically what the populists de-
manded in 1892. and the attack upon RAM
roads is in harmony with the demand
made by the populists in 1892 for govern
ment control Of railroads.
The committee that made the platform
must have been guided by a determine
ton to leave nothing to the populists on
which to base a platform. and thus force
them into the ranks of the democracy,
yet it is quite certain that unless the
Chicago convention goes a step further
and dominates populist or boiling re-
publican for President. the populist party
will not indorse the ticket nominated at
Chicago. In that event the democratic
party win have surrendered to populism
in important particulars without having
gained for itself single advantage On
the contrary. it viii have lost advantages
that 1t will not be able to regain in many
years.

81. Johns Plank.

Banker William p St John, who gave
up the presidency of the Mercantile Ma
tional Bank OF New York and a salary
Of $4,000 a year in order to go to Chicago
and help on the cause Of silver, found that
his services were not greatly appreciated
when he arrived there. He carried with
him a financial plank which, it IS sup
posed caused him hours Of serious
thought, and which he was very DESTROYS
of having adopted.
The platform committee didn't waste
much time on Banker st Johns plank
1t wasn't entirely satisfactory to them
1t meant 16 to 1, but it didn't express that
idea with sufficient frankness to satisfy
the committee, and so it was put aside
with much other unavailable timber
Banker st. John is honest In his views.
and he is anxious to make converts. In
New York. where there are so few silver
ties among the fnanciers, he enjoyed con-
siderable noteriety. but in Chicago he is
lost in the crowd 1t may be that because
he has been in touch with Wall street for
so many years he is regarded by the sill
yer men who are running the Chicago
convention with suspicion. notwithstand-
ing the fact that he has been talking for
free silver coinage for many years If
that is the case he is entitled to a little
sympathy. There are very few silverites
who have made the sacrifices for silver
that he has.

THE MARIETTA CHORAL SOCIETY.
MUSICAL NOTES.


In order that the friends of the Choir
al Society may be assured of the So
ciety's sound standing, and that those
if there be any-who from a musical
standpoint, are not disposed to be
friendly towards the Choral Society
may be enlightened, and relieved fro N
any further distress with regard to the
Society's perfect equanimity, | beg of
You to permit me to say through your
valuable columns, that the prevalent
idea that the Choral Society has
dwindled into a Ladies Society, and
that the gentlemen singers of the city
are in consequence excluded, is mis-
take; an honest mistake maybe, but a
mistake nevertheless.
The Choral Society opens its doors to
all singers of the city and neighbor-
hood, and cordially invites all gentle
men of the newly formed Glee Club; all
ladies of the newly formed Musical
Society; all members of church choirs;
all who can sing-in tune.
All members of the Society are
earnestly requested to attend rehearsal
tonight at 6:3O o'clock in Andrews Hall
to prepare the choruses for the Con cert
to be given this month; and all who
are not members are cordially invited
to assist in the coming Concert.
