hundreds of kilograms from all parts
of the country, expressing the congrat-
ulation of friends. In conversation
with reporter, Mr.. Sewall expressed
the belief that the ticket would be a
great deal stronger throughout New
England and the Eastern states than
the Western friends Of free silver real
ize at present "As to my own state"
he continued, "the cause of free silver
is growing rapidly. Two years ago 1
could count on my fingers the Demo-
Gratis in Maine who favored the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver. Now, the
vast majority Of them are Of that be-
lief, and their numbers are increasing
every day. I anticipate a lively cam
paign this autumn in Maine, and I feel
assured that the results will be fiatter-
ing indeed. 1t is not impossible for
the Democrats to carry the state They
did 1t in 1880 and see no reason why
they should not do it this fall
II have great confidence in the sue
cess of the ticket throughout the coun-
try I heartily believe in the principles
of the platform and will do everything
in my power for the success and victory
of the Democracy"
The vice presidential nominee is
man very nearly twice as old as the
head Of the ticket. He Is much older
than he looks. He Is splendid ex-
ample Of physical manhood, carries
himself with soldierly bearing, and is
what might be termed a fine looking
man. His hair and moustache are
slightly tinged with gray, but the
wrinkles Of age have scarcely made

and shape in mems up to date head
gear is one Of the leading branches in
this store and even a casual inspection
warrants the belief that it's head does
not approve Of keeping on hand mer-
chandise' that has, to use a merchants
phrase, had it's growth"
The children's department occupying
a space 20x80 is on the same floor and
will not suffer from dark corners, for
there are none. The appointment and
arrangement are perfect and conven-
lent, and the stock is entirely fresh and
new. No special line is made for the
departments the whole establishment
being one where clothing for men and
boys is kept. The center Of the store
is given over wholly to mems clothing,
and there is an immense stock Of men S
suits and overcoats.
Mr. Hoffman himself, looks after
this department, and owes much of his
success to an experience of some four
teen years, in ST. Paul, during which
he has bought and sold a considerable
amount of merchandise. An exper-
fence of this length with the buying
public, coupled with we'll grounded
ideas as to the proprieties in business
has tended to bring to this establish
ment more than an ordinary need of
success, and it's full share of the pat
rOnage. Mr.. norman, VINO came mere
fourteen years ago, from Canada, was
employed in the firm of t. A. Bartlett,
and by dint of hard work and close ap-
plieation to his duties, worked up the
ladder until a few years ago he was
made manager of the firm, and upon
their removal from ST. Paul, accepted
| a responsible position in the local
Browning King establishment. Later
however, he established himself in
! business on Seventh street, where he
won goodly share of success, and
where his business grew to such pro-
portions as to necessitate the securing
of larger and better quarters. The
Hudson store on the corner of Seventh
and Robert pleased him, and in April
he changed base and commenced on a
larger scale. Much Of his growth in
business is directly due to the OBJ
servance of three things, good service
best qualities, and lowest prices.
He goes in for making friends by af-
fable treatment, and keeping them by
giving them high grade clothing and
furnishings, of recent style and finish
at moderate cost. He believes that by
eschewing surplus stuff, odds and ends
etc, and by treating his clientage
rightly he can best subserve his own
and their best interests

SEWALL SURPRISED.

CHICAGO, July 11-According TO b,s
own assertion Hon. Arthur SeWaI1 had
no idea when he left his home at Bath
Me-, that his name would even he
presented to the late national convent
ion for the second place on the national
ticket. 1T was wholly unexpected ;,
he said. II had no thought of such a
thing when / came to this convention
that my name would be presented for
any office. However, 1 must confess
that the sensation of being the vice
presidential nominee on the national
ticket of the Democratic party is de-
cidely pleasant"
AS soon as 1t become known that Mr..
Sewall had been nominated. there was
rush Of friends and admiring Demo-
Gratis to extend their CONGRATULATIONS
to the next Vice President" as nearly
every one of them expressed it. In the
crowd that pressed around him was a
gaunt, hungry looking female, attired
in a faded black dress and a bonnet
of the style of a generation ago who
announced in raSping voice that she
had been settin' on nettles'' the whole
AFTERNOON at the convention for fear
she would not have the pleasure of see
ing him nominated. Another to ex-
tend his congratulations was a minis
terlal looking individual from Iowa
who, as he departed, said: "The bless
Ing OF God be upon you, and NAV the
light of His countenance shine on your
path and guide you to victory in No
vember'

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 1.-THE Clifton
house, where Mr. Bryan stops, was,
compared with last night, very quiet

respite, from morning until late att
night, for there was a constant stream9
