A MILD SUBSTITUTE O SECOND MARRIAGE.
Richard could WELD a scepter longer
and harder, it is said, than any other
middleweight monarch known to his
tory. The throne used by Richard is
srill in existence and has IN aperture
in it containing SOHO very old gin.
The reason this gill was left, it is
said, was that he was suddenly called
away from the throne and never lived
to get back. No Enonalrh should ever
leave his throne in too much Of a hurry.
Richard made himself very unpopu-
lar in 1885 by his forced loans, as they

Tewkesbury, May 4, fighting gallantly
at both places on both sides, it is said,
and admitting it in an article which he
wrote for al English magazine.
He has been accused of having muir

also his father, Henry vi, i'll the Tower

Richard was attainted and outlawed
by parliament at one time, but he was
careful about what he ate and didn't
get his feet wet. So, at last, having a
good preamble and constitution, he pull
ed through.
He married his W cousin. Anne

Ing politicians of the state, are in attend

called the convention to order, but made
no speech.
The platform denounces the Cleveland
administration as undemocratic and ty-
rannical and as a departure from those
principles which are cherished by all lib

speaks in strong terms of United States
courts. 1t demands also a national con-
stitutional convention. The free silver
plank is what might have been expected
