The polite an has at last secured
complete control of the democratic
party. In county, state and ma.
tional declarations, the principles
which have maintained the organ
ization in the past, have been sac
ri6ced by the politician in his
thirst for temporary power and
spoils. The patriotic element o.
the party of Jefferson will hardly
accept the populist Interpretation
as cupplied by the Chicago con-
vention.

We have present in the work Of
the Chicago Convention the un-
precedented example OF condem-
nation by great national party
Of the action of the reigning admin
istration of the same political
party. In this is evidence Of the
existence in American politics Of a
menace to progress as gov.
eminent. If the representatives OF
the people in the high Offices vio-
late the spirit Of the campaign
pledges to such an extent as to
cause general dissatisfaction in the
democrotic party there is corrup-
ton some where. The great dem
ocratic party has degenerated to a
disorganized mass of voters with
out a defined policy, and it is not
to be trusted to carry out any
measure Of reform. Like ship in
full rig, the democratic party al
ways has sail for every breeze
Of public sentiment that promises
to draw it to Office; but once in
that port the sails are furled and
even though the breeze becomes a
gale the ship rests becalmed.
While the republicans have
never violated a pledge of reform,
the democrats have meyer redeemed
one. There ,re logical reasons for
this difference in the; two great
parties in the component elements
Of the organization. The re-
publican party is sustained by
the conservative and substantial
element Of every community. while
the democratic party only gains
majorities by hoodwinking the
drifting. HON. less rabble. There

marriages daily. and amusing incidents
frequently occur. Perhaps the most Pc

Harvard student who was in love and
without funds. The love conquered his
pride. and he concluded to investigate
the matter with a view of getting mar
Tied ON trust. He made his appearance
at the desk in the registrars Office and
inquired if that vas the place where he
could procure a marriage certificate
and also get married. He was informed
that il was, and blznk application was
handed to him. which he proceeded TO
fill out.
After this proceeding was gone through
with he looked up, and, in hesitafing
manner, asked the clerk if he could
have a few moments private converse
tion with him. He was taken into the
anteroom. and this is the tale he IN
folded: He said that he was deeply in
love with a young lady. and that she
was also very much in love with him.
But her parents had serious objections
TO the match and did all that was in
their power to break il of. They had
closed their doors on him; but, notwith-
standing this, he succeeded in arranging
meetings with his h1art's choice, and
during one Of these he proposed mar
riage to her and was accepted. he argu-

They had arranged the details and con-
cluded that the Only thing TO be done
was to get married in secret and then
separate until he should graduate from
his college. She, Of course, would 20
back to her home and live with her
parents as if nothing ont Of the general
run Of events had happened.
But the young man. being without
funds, was in dilemma, and the worst
Of il was he could not see his way clear
TO procure the necessary amount TO pay
for the certificate and ceremony. His
