WASHINGTON, May 15.-If the the
DRY that actions speak louder than
words be safe premises from which to
argue, then President Cleveland is
not yet weary of politics. President
Cleveland will have the nomination
at Chicago if he can get It on sound
money platform.
General Harrison demonstrated at |
Minneapolis that it was quite possible,
by the judicious use of Federal pat
ronage, for President to secure a
denomination. Cleveland is quite as
much of politician as Harrison was,
and of late he has not been losing
single trick. All the Federal Demo-
cratic office holders in every State in
the Union are out working like beav-
ers in the cause of sound money, and.
none of them is losing his head for
"pernicious activity" or for soften
sive partisanship." They all believe
they are furthering the interests of
the President.
Cleveland's course on Cuba will
display political acumen of advanced
type. He didn't propose to have
Congress stampede him, and get cred
it for anything he might do. He chose
his own time, and, just about the mid
summer days, when Congress will
have adjourned, Fitzhugh Lee will be
in position to report on the situa-
ton in that unhappy island. Lee,
who knows what war is when he sees
it, will probably advise the President
that revolution, and rot mere riot,
is in progress, and that the United
States should demand the recognition
by Spain of the patriots as belllger.
ents.
With this the situation only few
, weeks before the Democratic conven
, ton, Mr.. Cleveland will be in a pc
l culiarly favorable position to have
: his claims for a denomination urged
, the more so from the fact that ther'
t will be no individual anxious to com
3 bat him. TO aid him, will be th,
generous efforts he is now making TO
5 sound money. Of course, something
will depend upon the platform at St
Louis. If it be bimetallic straddle
tremendous exertions will be put fortl
. to have Chicago declare for sount
, money, and, under these conditions
Cleveland would again be contest
ant He is one of the few who hav
not surrendered hope that the Dem
ocracy may be coerced into indorsip,

THE SECRET ORDERS.
MASONRY.

On last Monday evening Wheeling
Union Chapter No. held monthly
convocation, with a fair representation
OF it's companions present. After the
routine business of the evening had
been dispensed with, team of aspir-
ants was found to be in waiting, who
were marked and passed up
the steps of Capitular Masonry,
and as selected and royal, to be most
excellent masters, and worthy to be
placed on the arch. The work by re-
quest of the Most Excellent High Priest
c. p. Wood was conferred upon the
candidates under the personal super
vision of Most Excellent Companion
James McCahon, Grand High Priest,
and every part of the work was done
in a most intelligent and effective man
ner by the officers Of the chapter.
On Wednesday evening Mcdaniel
Lodge Of Perfection held a meeting.
and conferred the fourth to eighth de-
grees inclusive on a number of candi-
dates, the work being impressively
rendered by the officers of the lodge,
assisted by a large number of the mem
0ers, under the direction Of its Master,
JOnn w. MOTIFS.
On Thursday evening, Wheeling
Lodge No. held its regular communi-
cation, with a fair attendance of breth
rem present. A number of candidates
were expected to be in attendance to

sequence a number of brethren of
Wellsburg Lodge No. were present,
but as the candidates did not appear in
the early evening the Master Mason
Lodge was closed, and lodge of Past
Masters opened, over which Past Mas
ter James McCahon presided, and con-
ferred the Past Master degree upon the
Senior and Junior Warden of No. 5,
the whole of the degree being given in
a correct form, and in an impressive
manner.

pected at that time in the first and sec
ond degrees. 1t is also the regular
meeting for the installation of officers,
and a good attendance of brethren are
expected to be there on that occasion.
Bates Lodge No. 80 meets on Tuesday
evening, and as there are many aspir-
ants on the way work will doubtless
be had in more than one degree on
that evening, and the brethren should
be out in full force to assist the officers
to do their work.
On Wednesday evening, meeting
Of the Consistory of West Virginia No.
/, will be held, which being the an
nual meeting of the body. the election
of officers will take place. and as all
its members will receive personal no.
tice there will be a full attendance at
that time.
On Thursday evening, Nelson Lodge
No. 80 will hold a monthly communica-
ton, and no doubt have degrees to con-
fer on candidates at that time, and
which should assure a full turnout OF
its members to help to do the work.
