THE national democratic party of
Wisconsin met in mass convention at
noon Wednesday with about 400 mem
bers of the movement in attendance,
representing all parts of the state. A
platform was adopted repudiating the
action of the Chicago convention, en-
dorsing the administration of President
Cleveland, and expressing determine
ton to use all lawful means to defeat
the Chicago nominees. A full set OF
delegates was elected TO the Indianap-
Oils convention, electors for president
and vice president were chosen, and a
State Central committee selected and
authorized to either place state ticket
in nomination, should it deem such a
course necessary, or to call state con.
vention for that purpose. The conven-
ton passed a resolution endorsing Gen.
E. S. Bragg as a candidate for the
presidential nomination at the national
convention to be held at Indianapolis.
DR.. E. G.. Hazelton, of this city, was
elected district delegate to the national
convention, and J. B. Kupfer was
named as the elector from the first
congressional district

WHILE the democrats have been
making their eastern bluffs the repub-
licans have been sending convincing
literature broadcast through the west.
The result is now becoming apparent
even to the most rabid Bryanite. Re-
ports from nearly all the western states
show that the silver wave which fol-
lowed the Chicago convention is rapid
Iy receding, and if things continue to
go as they are now going, we'll informed
will not be surprised if
Mckinley and Hobart carry not only
all the great agricultural states of the
middle west, but also some of the silver
states. Mckinley and Hobart are also
rapidly gaining ground in the south.
West Virginia, Maryland and Ken
lucky are putinto the Mckinley column
by some very conservative men.

HE ROLLED OUT OF JAIL.
Surprising Adventures OF Man Who
Made Break fOx Liberty.


Made Break fOr Liberty.
Ted Dillon, the Ludlow section man
who is charged with forgery has
escaped from Jail a second time. Dill
Ion was apprehended last Saturday,
while making his way to this city from
Ludlow, station in the desert. He
was charged with stealing a time check
and forging the Endorsement in order to
cash it. He was taken back to Bar.
stow for preliminary examination Mon
day, and the same evening, while the
officers had him out for an airing, he
gave them the slip. The next morning
he was found IS miles away, and he
must have walked the whole distance
that night. He was again taken back
to Barstow, and the examination post
poned until Fridy morning. Dillon an
nounced that he had sent to San Ber-
nardino for an attorney.
This was only play for time, and his
opportunity came the same evening.
The two officers who had him In charge
left him i'll jail while they went to sup
per but they took the precaution to lock
a pair of handouts around Dillon'a
ankles. They were so tight that Dill.
Ion complained of the pain. The Off.
GERS were gone but a few minutes but
when they returned they found the door
open and foot prints in the dust, indi-
eating that Dillon had taken long jumps
toward Dcggett. The officers followed
the trail a mile and half, and then
lost it. In the morning they discov-
cred thai Dillon had doubled back to-
ward Balstow. He had found hut
frequented by tramps, and by means OF
a pair of fshplates had cut the links
holding the handouts together. From
the hut Dillon bod gone directly to Bar
stow, and from there the officers have
no trace of him. billions trip from
the Jail down the track and back to the
hut must have been at no small per-
sonal discomfort. The trail showed
that he had at times rolled for a dis
lance of fifty yards, this probably
when the irons became too painful to
permit him to jump.-San Francisco
Examiner.

LITERARY REPUTATION.
It May BE Divided Into Two Distinc
Kinds.

IL May BE Divided Into Two Distinct
Kinds.
It is curious how great an amount of
work man or woman may do-and
exceedingly good work at that-before
beginning to reap public acclaim and
to hear their names in the mouths Of
men, says the New Bohemian. Reputa-
ton is net made by reciting ones own
deeds, nor do you win your way to the
editors heart by that method. Unless
you are so famous that your name has
decided value, so that 1t may be
counted upon to sell a goodly number
of copies of the magazine, or to call out
press notices of distinct advertising
value to the publication in which 1t
appears, it makes absolutely no differ
ence to an editor whether you have
ever published line. If this one arti-
Gle that you now submit is Of value in
itself he wants it; otherwise not. So
counsel you not to attempt to advertise
yourself, and succeed only in advertis-
ing your immaturity.
There are two distinct sorts of repu-
tatton for the writer. One is that
which puts his name before the public
and makes him the rage for an hour or
a day. This is secured oftener by acct
dent than any other manner, by some
piece of work which has touched the
public fancy for moment, or that has
attracted the attention of critic or re-
viewer who has the power to make
others accept his verdict. This is the
sort that Mr.. Anthony Hope and Mr..
Stanley Weyman are enjoying just
now, and which gives their pens the
power to coin words into gold with
startling rapidity. The other sort Is
gained in the editorial Offices, by send
ing with some frequency work that is
steadily good and occasionally excel
lent. Editors soon awaken to the fact
that they have writer who can be de-
pended on to furnish something worth
looking at, at the least, and his manu-
scripts will never go back without care
full examination; goodly share of them
will be ccepted-subject always to the
condition that single publication will!
not use too much Of the work of any
one writer-and those which go back
will be sent with sincere regret.

Well! WE'LL! Well!!!

Hurrah for old Vermont! Always re-
publican, she has started the ball for
protection and sound money and elects
the republican state ticket by major
ity approximating 10000; by far the
largest majority ever given any candi-
dates in the history of the state. The
little state on Tuesday knitted democ-
racy and then danced a wild war dance
upon it's PROSTATE form. 1t was ex-
spected that the Green Mountain state
would go republican, but it was not
hoped for by the most sanguine that it
,-Would be made almost unanimous.
Without doubt the omen is bad for
the silver democracy. The natural in
ference is that we are to have an over
wheIming republican landslide. It
may be said that there is nothing sig
anifcant in the figures, but when it is
considered that the majority this year
lis as large as the entire republican vote
in 1892, the revulsion toward repub-
licanism is all too evident to be dis
posed of in this way Again we say:
sHurrah for Vermont! And next comes
Maine, and then all forward for a
crushing defeat of popocratism, free
silver and free trade.

Most people have an idea that royalty
has an easy time of it. but the fact
is that kings and queens, even in times
of peace, are almost as hard worked
as day laborers. Queen Victoria, for in
stance, last year had to append her
signature to some $4,000 documents.
She practically never has holiday
while at Buckingham and Windsor. She
