Swamp Music.

Trill trill, down in the marshland,
Chanting chorus all the day long;
Can it be singing or fairy bells ringing:
Over the water sweet and strong
Trill, trill, long before sunshine,
Crimson S, the face of the Eastern sky;
Trill, trill, till the falling shadows,
Tell the world that the night is nigh.
Trill trill, life is all sunshine,
Gliding away like golden dream:
The air is laden with scent of blossoms,
Swallows are skiTnming across the stream.
Thrill, thrill, summer is coming,
Gaily the hours drift along;
Drowsy summer with wealth of roses,
This is the theme of the singers song.

been a political convention as unique

for him.
on the other hand. Governor Altgeld
says he is not candidate. Several
months ago he even went so far as to
say that he would not accept the nomi-
nation, but the Democratic leaders say
they will force him TO accept, His
whole thought and talk has been re-
garding the national convention to be
held in Chicago week after next. 1T is
the duty the free silver Democrats owe
to the so-called common people of this
nation" he said, Ito carry their point
as to the financial plank. Whitney,
and the loud-mouthed goldbugs Of his
class, have never led party to any
thing but humiliation or defeat during
the last thirty years"
Referring to Mr.. whitney's statement
that he believed the gold men would
control the party. the governor said;
IF the gold men control they will do
so by the use of arguments that have
a ring to them and a clink, as they
pass from hand to hand and the pock-
et."
State Chairman Hinrichsen. speaking
of the talk that Senator Teller might
be named at Chicago, said that while
the silver Democrats had the highest
regard for him. not one of the hun
dreds to whom he had talked, felt that
II would be wise to nominate him for
president.
