DANIEL IN PoRTsMoUTH.-Senator
Daniel received in Portsmouth yester-
day what was, without doubt, one OF
the grandest ovations he ever had in
that section of the State. a crowd, esti-
mated at three thousand people, assem-
bled at League Park, in which the
speaking took place, and at times went
wild with enthusiasm. Senator Daniel
was presented to the audience by Mr..
w. a. Young, democratic candidate for
Congress, and in speech of more than
two hours held the close and undivided
attention Of his audience. His speech
was wholly devoted to discussion of
the free silver plank in the democratic
platform and mild arraignment of the
boilers. Hundreds of ladies were pres
ent and their enthusiasm was almost as
hearty as that of the men. 1t was un-
doubleday in every respect the biggest
political meeting ever held in Ports
mouth. Last night Senator Daniel ad :
dressed a large open-air meeting in
Berkeley.

Mr.. CLEVELAND made another one
of his trite and platitudnous speeches
yesterday, to the students Of Princeton
College, in which, however, he went
far out Of his way to lug 10 politics and
70 laud his present side OF them, and
said he recognizes the practical neces'
sity Of political parties aud their desir-
ability, and the wholesome differences
of opinion touching governmental poll.
cies." But if he was sincere in what he
said, ne must think now, as he did four
years ago, when he vas the nominee Of
a national convention, that the only
way OF maintaining political parties is
by submitting to the arbitrament of
such conventions" which, he now
not only refuses to do, but is, however,
the instigator, promoter and main sur-
port of the present bolt from such an
arbitrament.

WHILE TIE treatment Secretary
Carlisle received at Covington yester.
day is deprecated by all law abiding
and right thinking people, Mr.. Carlisle,
if a sensible man, should not be SUR
prised at it. II nc had come out open
iy in favor of Mckinley, it is more than
probable he would have received re-
spectful attention. But it naturally
goes against the grain of democrats to
hear man they have promoted and
whose interests they have served for
many years, proclaim himself, in their
presence, democrat, while at the same
time ne advocates the election OF the
republican ticket, under the transparent
disguise of decoy, and the man with
the assurance to do so, should have the
fortitude, to stand the consequences
without Complaining.

DARED HIM TO SHooT.-On Tuesday
the State Gazette, republican paper Of
Point Pleasant, W. Va, of which Mrs.
George W. Pafenbarger is editor, con-
tanned an article which ex Congressman
James Copehardt, democrat, took as
personal to himself, and which, thus
taken, was offensive. Yesterday after
noon Copehardt met Mrs. Paflen barger' 5
husband, lawyer and republican poll
tician, on south Main street and men
toned the article. Copehardt, who is
horsemsn and farmer, had been driv-
ing and had his whip in his hand. The
interview was unsatisfactory, and Cope
hart assaulted Patienbarger with the
whip, cutting him several times about
the face and head before he was inter-
fered with. Paftenbarger drew re-
yolver. but Copehart stood his ground
and dared Pafenbarger to shoot. Paff.
enbarger pocketed his pistol and walked
away, declaring bis intention to have
legal redress. The men are about
evenly matched physically.

by mob while debating with Bryan

Several made a rush to do him violence,

several men were awaiting him at the
front door with drawn weapons, but,
while unable to speak, he remained on
the stand fully one hour. After the

The Wheat Market.

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-After the open.
ing trating, which was comparatively
tame, was over, the market gradually
grew in steadiness and shorts feeling
that prices were in the way OF reactiug,
began to take in their profits. There
was not the taiptts st suspicion OF trouble
among commission houses and none Is
feared unless there should be something
Unforeseen occur. Prices having ad
vanced % to % cents without causing
disastrous results. it is argued that they
should be competent to withstand 10
cent break. Most commission men
have taken precaution to secure liberal
margins in order that just such condi-
tons as now prevail might not find
them unprepared. At the expiration
of the first half hour December was
quoted at 723-2l. cents higher than it
closed yesterday.

of her recent conduct. This missive he

quest TO deliver il TO her mistress that
very evening before she retired. Then
he went out 10 try TO conquer his agita-
tion by walk I'm the park, and when

Immediately after dinner.
So she was now reading his letter!
Perhaps now she WAS answering him!
His heart throbbed wildly at this
thought. He would gladly have
made another attempt to see Ada
in her own apartments, but he felt that
he owed her due reserve, and determined
to have patience until the next day.
When, on the following morning he
came out of his bed chamber into the
ante-room, he instantly saw on the
table n sealed package which bore his
address. lie tore the wrapper with

Ada gazed fixedly into vacancy, say
ing as il lost in thought:
"No, no. That is not SO. There are
injuries which are incurable. The
mother OF two children is old AT twenty
three. Since she can no longer offer q
man the full happiness of love, she has
40 right TO expect il from him."
He was about to answer, but with
hasty movement she placed her slender
finger on her lip, saying:
flush! Not another word on this
subject. Look"-and her hand pointed
down TO the park.
From n bow window in the castle a
powerful apparatus was sending
broad stream of electric light into the
darkness. 1t often changed and moved,
being thrown now here, then there.
In its course it illumined the tops of the
trees with faint, livid phosphores-
cence, interwove the shrubbery with
fantastic gliding spots of light, and
gave the turf, wherever il was visible,
the appearance of strip of glittering
glacier. In the distance, where the
light was lost in the dense groups OF
trees, it produced the illusion of indis-

The temptation was irresistible.

few minutes later, with light mantilla

by his side over the creaking gravel of
the avenue and then over the noiseless
side paths.

the ground, placed Ada on il, and re-
