SITUATION CLEARING UP.
Looks Like Race Between Bland and
Teller.

Looks Like a Race Between Bland and
Teller.
Chicago, July 8.-The situation today
is apparently clearer than it has been
in relation to the presidential nomina-
tion.
The talk is confined chiefly to Bland
and Teller, though Gov. Boies has many
strGng supporters. The forces are arrayed
along the line of expedienoy in the one
side and on the other side desire to
oonflne the entries for the nomination to
old members Of tae Democratic party.
The advocates OF expedienoy, that is
those who favor Teller's nomination, are
working with great energy and apparent
confidence. To the argument that this
is Democratic convention and th at a
Democrat must and will be nominated
the reply is returned that an IS hour
Democrat is good enough for the country
and ought to be for the convention.
The tribute paid to Mr.. Teller S
worth and strength by Mr.. John r. Nc
Lean last night is regarded rs significant
in this connection, and the assertion is
made that Ohio's 46 votes may be cast
for Teller, if it should appear that they
will be decisive.
= Several times yesterday in the Palmer
house there were verbal passages at
arms between Missouritss and Iowans
that threatened to develop arguments
stronger tban words. Each side accused
the other of resorting to unfair tactics.
The latest slate is: For President.
Henry n. Teller of Colorado. For Vice
President, John R. Mclean Of Ohio.
For temporary and permanent chairman
Of the convention, Senator Joe Blackburn
of Kentucky.
While there seems to be no ooncentra-
tion upon any one for temporary chair
man the general opinion is either Senator
Harris or Representative Richardson,
both of Tennessee, may be made perma-
Inent chairman and Blackburn of Ken
tuoky, may be temp chairman.

1--WE MUST WIN"
50 Says Senator Teller Of the Cause
Of Free Silver.
AN INTERESTING LETTER ON SUB
JECT TO SENATOR DUBOIS.

Believes Friends of Silver Should Stand by
Democratic Nominee, If His Views Are
Theirs-No Mistake Was Made at St.
Louis-Silver Men Must Be Careful In
Making ANY In Their Alliances.
Chicago, July 3.-In view of the many
conflicting statements put in circulation
respecting Senator Teller's attitude and
intention of his friends who walk cd
with him out Of the st. Louis oonven-
tion fortnight ago, Senator Dubois
this afternoon gave out the following
letter from his associates the only one be
said that had been received from Senator
Tellar since the adjournment of tina Re-
publican national convention.
Morrison, Ill, June 26, 1896.
Hon. Fred Dubois, Springfield, Ill.
Dear :3ir-I notice the gold Democrats
have declared their intention to control
the Chicago convention. don't think
they can do 10. IL QUE silver friends con-
troll the convention and give us good
silver man as ] think they will, think
be should have the active support Of
Rll who believe in the money question
as the great question before the Ameri-
can people. We must for this campaign
at least overlook all minor differences
and put the country on sound financial
system, that recognizes that gold and
silver are the money of the constitution.
| believe this can be done and to this we
must bend all our energies. A little more
patriotism and o little less partisanship
Is what our country needs at this time.
The friends of silver made no mistake
at ST. Louis We cannot make mis-
take as to our future alliance with other
silver advocates. The cause is of too
much Importance to admit Of carpirg
or criticism. We must all get together
and act together until the battle is won
1t will be royal battle with justice on
our side. We must win.
Yours truly.

HoKE SMITH RESIGNS.
IL the Precedent hccepts-Thc Why and
the Wherefore Understood.

WASHINGTON. ,. c.. August %
Secretary of the Interior Huke Smith
has resigned from the cabinet, and
President Cleveland has accepted the
resignation.
That the secretary would sooner or
later take this step. has been known
Tor several weeks. in fact. since the
Atlanta Journal, the newspaper owned
by him, declared Its intention of sun
porting Bryan and Sewall. The Jour
nal. IL now appears. only reflected the
opinions OF Secretary Smith. and. Of
Course, under the circumstances. It
was only a question II time until the
official relations between the President
and secretary should be severed.
For some time rum0rS have appeared
In print on the probability of the early
resignation Of Secretary Hnkc Smith.
For s6med avs shipments have been
made TO Atlanta OF his books and Da-
pers. and 1t is learrcd,that he has de-
clined to set any departmental busI-
ness 10 he heard by hinsfor u date later
than this month.
1t can safely be assumed that q sue
cessOr will be in charge In n very short
while.
Ever since the rumors OF the rcs!cna-
ton OF Secretary Smith there has been
more or less gossip concerning his
probable successor, ana at the Interior
department the name Of John VI. Roy
Eolds. the second assistant secretary Of
the department., has been mentioned
frequently for the place.

between the youthful hero, and o'd

Choosing a Sweetheart.

\ lady who has the credit of beng
versed in matters of the heat gives
these few hints for the novice i'm love
they are applicable TO both sexes:
DO not, il you have always admired
fair people more than dark, fail in love
with a dark psrson. The fact that you
have always preferred fair people
shows that Yony best chances of happi-
ness woald be with fair life partner.
For instances, the man who has al
ways admired small, slim girls, should
not choose for his wife tall and well
developed girl. Neither should the
girl who thinks that "a man should be
tai and Lgoad bc persuaded To accept u
man who possesses neither of these
qualities.
People of different complexions and
physiques will act in totally different
ways under dentically the same cir
sumstaces, and it is to believe that
every man and every woman knows in
stinctively with what style OF he'pmate
he or she Is most likely to live in lap
piness.
Happy marriages have undoubtedly
been known when these rules have not
been followedi but generally speaking,
il is unwise sOr any one, in such seri-
GUS matter as marriage, to disregard in
a moment of passion that fixed ideas
and instincts of lifetime EiiRbmry
iScOtsnlaH.

"a long time ago." began Hoio,
"the Mongol race invaded the King
dom of Japan, the land OF the great
Shotgun, where the ilIustrious house OF
Fujimara rcigned supreme. Ii was
my glorious privilege TO drive from the
country one hundred thousand Chi
nese, Mongols and Coreans, of whom
after the battles of Kiushiu but three
men were allowed to escape and carry
back the news of the disaster"
The breast of the regent swelled with
pardonable pride as he told of the fa-
NOUS repulse of the Mongolian invad-
ers in l25l. As he paused for his words
to take effect there was low murmur
of adulation escaped from the lips of
the admiFing taikos.
"rhen there was peace In Japan" he
went on, 'and the term of my regency
was long and prosperous, but when old
age came on and my strength was not
