MEMORIES.

AS a perfume doth remain
In the folds where it hath lain,
So the thought of you remaining
Deeply folded in my brain,
Will not leave me, all things leave me
You remain.
Other thoughts may come and go,
Other moments 1 may know,
That shall watt me in their going.
AS a breath blown to and fro,
Fragrant memories, fragrant memories
Come and go.
Only.thoughts of you remain
In my heart, where they have lain
PerFumed thoughts of you remain
A hidden sweetness in my brain,
Others leave me, all things leave me
You remain.

is sincere in its desires to secure the re-
forms it declares for, Mr.. Bryan will be its
nominee. l appreciate how the Southern
delegates feel about the matter, but this is

subordlnated for the good of our common

Kelly having been nominated with
the help of the boss of the administration
forces and the supporters of gold in the
convention, he is expected to become
almost fanatical in his support of limitless
silver. He is the handiwork. as a candi.
date, of the San Francisco Junta, which is
out against bossism and for pure, high
class politics.
An analysis of the vote shows that
James II. Barry's strength came from the
reputable element in the convention. The
open and hearty encouragement he has
received from all sources was of the same
high character. The push and the ma
chine had no use for Barry. The "push"
and the machine quietly nominated Kelly.
Barry, independent, honest and out
spoken. was to be beaten at all hazards.
The convention showed what party in.
fuences controlled the Democracy of the
Fifth District.
The forenoon trains brought nearly a,
hundred people from San Francisco. Many
came who were not delegates. Ed Lani-
gan, the shrewd held-marshal of the
Daggett-Rainey-Lani forces, arrived
with no tangles in the strings. Judge

REDWOOD CITY, CAL, July 90 The
Daggett- -Rainey Lanigan push" captured
the Democratic Confessional Convention
of the Fifth District to-day and easily
nominated Joseph P. Kelly for Congress.
James H. Barry and Thomas ]. Clunie
and their friends were astonisked at the
resulting revelation of how far away from
having chance for the nomination they
really were all the time. The thing was
done with the clever and automatic pre-
cision of high-class practical politics, and
there was not raw feature in the victo-
rious play.
There were SO votes in the convention
and it required 49 to nominate During
the two ballots San Francisco gave 81 votes
to Kelly, % to Barry, 10 TO Clunie and
scattering. San Mateo surprised every
body but the Kellyites by voting her six
votes solidlY for Kelly on both ballots.
Santa Clara County did the business. It
held the key and kept it for Kelly. Its
twenty-three votes went solidly to CIunie
on the first ballot. Up to the second bal
lot nobody but the dead inside" people
knew what Santa Clara people would do.
1t voted for Ulunie on the first ballot, not
as joke, but to cache it's voIes in a safe
and harmless place until the first ballot
made sure the situation. Santa Clara,
though first alphabetically, was put last in
the roll that its twenty-three votes might
command the situation. On the second
ballet the Santa Clara vote was so nicely
played that it was the very last one, that
of Sam Rucker, which gave the nomina-
tion to Kelly.
Lawyer Kelly is the jolly, iked-by-the-
boys fellow who two years ago secured
the nomination, to be repudiated by the
Democratic State Central Committee
during the campaign after the story of his
connection with the street-sweeping con-
tract sack became public. Kelly for
months has been getting up early in the
morning to secure ''vindication," and
to-day he was vindicated by Sam Rainey
and the Mint brigade.

HOTEL LINDELL,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July go.
The silver men tonight issued their
uItimatum to the middle -the-road
Populists. 1t is Bryan and Sewal1 or
nothing.
The PopuIfsts were willing to place
Bryan at the head of their ticket, but
reserved the right to name the Vice.
President, allowing the electors to vote
they saw fit in the Electoral College.
This proposition was made through the
National Committees to Senators Jones,
Allen, Stewart and Tom Patters on,
who have the Bryan interests in their
keeping.
Patterson told the committee plainly
that Bryan would accept no compro-
mise. That settled it. The .middIe-of-
the-road people will now bolt the con-
vention in case Bryan and Sewall are
nominated or indorsed and place a
straight party ticket in the field.
The California silver delegation ar
rived this evening. All are shouting
for Bryan. Excitement is running high
tonight.
The San Francisco call., 1896-07-21

The friends of Mr.. Bryan, however, en-
phatically disagree with Mr.. Taubeneck
as to the means by which these ends are
to be secured. To nominate an indepen-
dent ticket, one in opposition as much to
Bryan and Sewall as it would be to Nc
kinley and Hobart, would not only make
it impossI BILE to restore free coinage of sill
yer during the lifetime of the youngest in
the coming convention. but it would practi-
caily annihilate the Peoples party so far
as followers are necessary to MAKE party.
The friends of Mr.. Bryan admit that it is
true that should the Democratic party be
successful the Populists might not be in
position to demand" appointments to
office from Bryan. Yet the Bryan people
want the Populists to understand that
they need not doubt Mr.. Bryan's sense of
justice and recognition of obligations for
patriotic duty well done by members of
the Peoples party.
In the address it is said that the claim
of Mr.. Taubeneek that the Populist party
should be an ally and not an annex of the
Demogfatic party is an ir1descent dream.
Considering the numerical strength and
powerful organization of the Democratic
party, coupled with the plain assurance
which its leaders have that the Populists
and free coinage Republicans will flock to
Bryan and SewaII by hundreds of thou
sands, whatever the Populist National
Convention may do, it may be considered
out OF the question that the Democratic
party, having already nominated its can
didates and adopted its platform, will
make the o-partnership arrangement
which is the basis of Mr.. Taubeneck's
plans. Besides. it is added, the Democratic
National Committee has not the vestige of
the power necessary to enter into such

Wind and whiskers we've the features of
the convention preiiminaries about the
hotel corridors to-day. The scene at the
Lindell was particularly noisy and be-
whiskered one. Here the delegates con-
gregated in large groups. The Bryan
forces predominated. They were headed
by Senator Allen, the noted Popullst of
Nebraska. He holds the worlds record as
a long-distance speaker. he sustained his
reputation to-day. He talked many of

BALLOON ON FIRE.
Aeronaut Precipitated Into the Wat
ers of He'll Gate.

New York, Sept. 9.-TwO men on Ward
island Monday night saw a big balloon,
in the basket of which was an unknown
man, burst into flames and then drop
into He'll Gate, near Niger Rock A
strong tide was running and the bal
loon was smashed against the rocks.
The chances are that the aeronaUt was
drowned, but it is possible that he was
picked up by a steam launch and car
ried up the sound.
Edward Gleason and Patrick Nc
Govern were on the north end of the
island when they saw the balloon. 1t
was dusk, but there was light enough
for them to distinguish objects clearly
. The balloon was of unusual size and
the aeronaut in the basket was evident
~ having trouble. Just as it reached
the south end of the island a brilliant
fame burst out from the balloon in a
second the whole machine was on fire.
They saw the aeronaut throw out big
bags of ballast This was of no avail
and after the gas bag had been pune
tured and the ballast thrown out the
weight of the basket pulled it down in
to the water as swiftly as a stone drops.
Hell Gate at this point is filled with
sharp rocks, and the rapid tide which
was running at this time swirled the
balloon against them and destroyed it
completely. Policeman Mccarthy of the
East 1O4th street station had just re-
ported for duty on the island. Glea-
son and McGOvern met him just as the
balloon dropped. They told him what
they had seen and the trio at once went
riedIy out to Niger Rock and searched
He'll Gate for nearly an hour but could
find no trace of either the balloon or
the aerOnaut

niok CooIev's oRDau.

Like all good ball players Dick Coo
ley has an occasional off day: The
Philadelphia Enquirer describes one:
Mr.. Richard Cooley, formerly of St.
Louis, but now on the PhillieS' payroll,
yesterday gave a hand-painted imita-
ton of a human sieve, in the second of
the collisions between Philadelphia
and Pittsburg. 1t was an eminently
satisfactory performance from his point
of view, and there is no reason to
doubt that it was thoroughly enjoyed
by the young men who draw their
meal tickets from Cornelius Magilicud-
dy, the amiable and long drawn out
impresario of the Pittsburgers. But
what was fun for them was death for
the cranks. The latter fairly writhed
under the infictiOn. The first muff
was accepted as a matter of course.
But the second inspired remarks which
could not pass in polite society without
a great deal of funigation. It was the
producing cause of three of the five
runs scored in the sixth. Then Leahy
helped along our friends, the enemy,
by holding the ball in his hand in the
seventh while Davis was logging it for
home. Altogether, the visitors scored
five runs which would have been cut
off by up-to7date fielding.
