GROVER AS A PROPHET
What He Wrote to Lamar on the Eve OF the
Last Presid entail Cam paign.

New Orleans. July 2S.-The Picayune
special from Jackson, Miss, quotes a
letter written by President Cleveland
on May 1, 1892, on the eve of the Demo-
cratic convention of that year, to the
late l. .. c. Lamar, in which the preSl-
dent, discussing his probable candi-
dacy says:
II can easily be disposed of either by
the selection of a candidate more avail
able or by the adoption of a campaign
policy on the financial question which
I am not willing to further. In the
first case I shall be a happy helper; in
the second I shall sadly await the an
n0uncen2ent of a party defeat which
will be prede termined. Our southern
friends, if they persist, will be left
alone with their free coinage heresy.
The danger is that naOther southern
idea and a charge of headlessness for
the public safety on the financial ques-
ton will do service in the place of the
memories of the civil war.
'@The question is often and justifably
put by friendly soUtherners: Can
wer is ready as to Cleveland or any
other man if the Democracy is at all
weak on the coinage question. AS one
Who loves his country and believes tina
her interest is bound up in Democrat y
supremacy I am as uncomfortable and
unhappy in the fear that the south will
not see until too late the danger of their
marring all.
IF I should read this, hardly think
I should send it, but it goes laden with
affection and the most tender memories
Yours affe1onately,

AND SO THEY WE'RE MARRIED
And 1t is Hoped They VIII Live Happily
Ever After


Warrensburg, Mo-, July 2S.-While
talking with party of friends last
Wednesday, Blair Howard proposed, as
a joke, to Miss Lille McLain that they
get married. She consented, but each
supposed the other was jesting. A
friend was dispatched for a license
which was drawn up in due form.
The wedding was announced in local
papers to take place at the residence
of the Rev. G. B. Curry, pastor OF
Sacred Heart church, that night At
the appointed time the couple went to
the residence, but Father Curry had
several visitors and they did not re-
main. Thursday morning they went
back and the ceremony was performed
amid a. great deal of chatting, the con-
tracing parties still believing it to be
a joke.
The bride and groom went about
their ordinary duties and were no
more to each other than friends. Last
night Mr.. Howard desired to call upon
a friend at the Commercial hotel, where
he boarded. Father Curry, Who was at
the table, accidentally heard it and in
formed the young man that he was
legally married. He went to the home
of the bride today and the two are now
living together.

STRIKING TAILORS.
Twenty Thousand Estimated to Be Idle at
New York.


New York.
NEW YORK, July 27.-An all-day
meeting was held by the striking tail
ors of this city in Walhalla hall yes
terday. Addresses were made by a
number of leaders and the situation
was generally discussed. The SUBJ
stance of the remarks made by the
various speakers was to the effect that
no compromise with the contractors
should be made; that the strikers must
stand firm and accept nothing but
victory. The fact that some of
the contractors who had in the
past combatted the tailors have now
joined hands with them is regarded by
the leaders as significant and is taken
as an omen of success for the tailors in
their conflict for the entire abolition of
the sweat shop system, the increase of
the weekly scale of wages and for
fixed weekly toll standard of SO hours.
1t is estimated that fully 10000 hands
are now idle on account of the strike
in this city and vicinity.

he said: 81 have no message from Pres

to assist in the movement which I be-
lieve to be for the best interests of the
democratic party" Mr.. Eckels, when
asked what name he favored for the
head of the proposed ticket, said that
he did not care to express choice, but
he had met many men who favored
John M. Palmer.

The complacency with which
some of the republican organs invite
sound money democrats to come over
into the Mckinley camp on that issue is
entirely unwarranted by the situation.
We may put aside the question of Nc
rKinley's sincerity in support of the gold
standard; he may or may not act in the
spirit of the platform on which he has
been nominated. But in the matter Of
a tariff for the profit of "fat frying"
monopolies he is in thorough agreement
with the platform and with his party.
and everyone knows what is to be ex-
pected on this line in case of republican
success To ask democrats to support
a candidate and a party which is
pledged to legislation in behalf pf phi
vate interests. to increase private for
tunes at the cost of the people through
tariff tax upon industry, is too much
