THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Democratic performance at Water
VILE yesterday calls to mind cartoon
that appeared in Harper's Weekly during
1Ae Presidential campaign of 1872 It
represented Horace Greedy sitting st a
table on which was big bowl. Great
drops of sweat were running down his
cheeks, and his face wore an agonized
expression. In his hand was big spoon
with which he was transporting to his
mouth the contents of the bowl. Beneath
was the legend, Eating his own words. -
To faithfully portray the Democratic
convention the agonized expression
would have to be removed from the faces
Of most of the delegates and contented
expression, something like that which
the fellow who had the itch and was
proud of it WORE substituted
But eating their own words
was their chief occupation, and
they only rested long enough from it to
jeerTand howl atand insult the few mem
bers of the convention whose self-respect
would not permit them to join in the
meal. 1t was only little more than a
4lO1Sp1l fsEO tInU D1IS ShI1l0 COuH0QGlOl,
made up of the same delegates, declared
that it was for the maintenance of
the gold standard. Yet yesterday it en-
dorsed Bryan and Sewan and 16 to 1.
NeVer did great party SO completely
stultify itself.
The logical nominee of this convention
was the windy demagogue from Belfast,
Edgar E. Hanson. But anything logical
could hardly be expected from suoh a
gathering. and SO it i'd not strange that it
pitched upon Frank. Not much need
be said in the way OF comment upon the
proceedings the convention or its can
didate. People can draw their own con-
illusions about the former from the
graphic report which appears in our tele-
graph columns. As for the candidate it
can safely be said that his nomination
by this crowd of bowling dervishes has
not conferred upon him any distinction
Of which be hos reason to be proud

When Bradburys and Cliffords and
Fairfelds refuse to concur, it is pretty
evident that the fashioned Democra-
cy of Maine is not in sympathy with the
Chicago platform and ticket. Men yet
robust, remember the time, in 1861, when
Bion Bradbury and Lorenzo Sweat and
Charles Roberts marched out of Demo-
cratic convention.

The business concern that paid the
Mexican dollars to it's employees did them
valuable service ana deserves comlnen-
dation. 1t opened their eyes in most
effective way to the iniquity of the per-
Torrance which the silver people are
contemplating. Free silver would cheat
the wage Garner, right and left. 1t is
cheating him today in Mexico unmerci-
fully. Congressman Taryer, who lives in
Texas close to the Mexican border, says,
that working men are getting no more
dollars now for their labor, when Mex
loan dollar liz worth only So cents than
they were in 1870, when it was worth
81. 10. yet prices of everything the work
ing man has to buy have doubled.
1t is quite true that tho object lesson
would have been more impressive if the
firm had paid out Mexican dollars on an
with American dollars. But
that would have been cheating its en-
ployes. This it did not wish to do, even
for the sake of saving them later from
greater loss. Furthermore it could not
do 1t legally, because The Mexican dollar
ia not legal tender. When the policy of
free coinage is adopted then it will be
possible legally to palm off upon work
jngmsn silver dollars of the purchasing
power of from so to so cents for one hun
bred cents. as is done in Mexico. ED.

WITH BETTER TIMES.
Large Increase in Force at Warren
Foundry TO Be Made.
Plant TO B. Run TO Is Full Capacity for
Indeflnit: Period.

IL will be welcome news to the citizens
effort, Of agent aud treasurer G. T..
Chappell OF the Warren Foundry and Ma
chine Company, contracts have been
made whereby the plant OF that concern
will hereafter for sn indefinite time be
run to Its full capscity. Business at the
foundry, like verything else, was dull
for several months, sno only about one
third the usual mum be. OF en- ployes were
at work. First-class 10 undrymen are now
wanted, and 1t is expected that in the
| course OF two or three weeks full COM
| plement will have been secured and wit h
every prospect OF plenty of work all the
time. This means a great deal to the
town OF Warren. The addition of 70 or
more first-class nacbinists whose wages
will exceed those paid to the employees in
several other industries in tho town and
the addition OF 1000 or more dollars to
the weekly pay roll, will help TO swell
the cShefs Of the merchants and boarding
house keepers. The history OF the foundry
for two years previous to reorganization T,
about two years ago is q blank. The
works were idle, ani upon its reorganiza-
tion the former stock olders were obliged
to go into their pockets and pay an assess-
ment to get ont of it. AT this time a
nun Der OF pu bile spirited citizens decided
to put new life into the concern and the
services of Mr.. L. +. Chappeil, agent and
treasurer, and Mr.. James NJ. Anthony.
manager, were secured. The former is
ono of the best known foundry mana
gers in the state, and for many years was
with tho Household Sewing Machine
Company, Providence. Mr.. Anthony,
equally as well known for his conn. elton
with mechanics. was also with the House
hold Company for many years. Mr.. John
Waterman OF this town is president OF the
compsny. Backed by ample capital the
new enterprise has rccn a success from ne
s,art,snd contrary to the prognosticstions
OF croakers has paid good dividends as
well. The plant Is entirely new and
oquippedd d 70. both iron ana bronze
founding. All the bronze and the larger
portion Of the iron castings that went in
to the constr uction Of the U. s. torpedo
beat recently built by the Herreshods at
Bristol wore made at this foundry, and IL
is probable that when ready all the work
OF like nature to be used in the build
ing of the several government torpedo
boats that the same company hiss received
contracts for, will also be made here.

reports are as follows: i. Has the rail.
way business picked up at ail? We are
compelled 10 answer no, 1t has not. In
paris Of the West ano Southwest IL has
even been directly worse since the eIec-
lion than IL wns before. There has not
even been an Increase in the little local
passenger travel. LooSing az the country
as a whole there has been no improve

the reports received.

SAMSON AND DELILAH.
Beautiful Concert by the Arion Club Last
Evening.

The opening concert by the Arion Clue
is always a great local musical event, and
last evening was no exception to the rule
for Infantry hall had very few vacant
seats. The surprising part of the concert
was the excellence of the chorus WORK.
Tners has been constant Improvement,
but perhaps that fact was never more
noticss BILE than on this occasion. Appre-
citation of the ideas EN- mbodied iE the
music and their intelligent Interpretation
illustrated this particular advancement.
in the hitherto excellent performances OF
this highly esteemed enssmb bic of local
vocalists. Precision, repose, audaoity
born OF conf ience. and tuneful tones OF
inspiring volume. associated with this
further developed essential of musical
appreciation of the authors thought
and conception, made the concert es-
pscislly pleasurable to the host OF Arlon
Club friends and patrons. BesiGes the
friendly approval Of the large audience
II was plain to be seen that the dis
tinguished soloists CT the evening reoog.
nized the strength of their great back
ing.
Another delig htful feature OF the con-
cert was the convincing vocalism and
charm ing singing OF Miss Gertrude May
Stein. Aside from her warm, rich tcne,
sure and satisfying method, the di.-
tinguished soloist's personal appearances
contributed an appreciated share of the
evenings pleasure. No one doubted her
ability 10 compass every part of her all
otied share, either In music or express
ion, and as the work progressed this
thought developed full appreciation OF
h'r wonderful powers, cbariningly
satisfying.
Mr.. George HHmlin the Chicago tenor,
hes smooth even voice OF excellent
quality ana he sang with good taste and
highly cultivated skill. His lacking force
was only noticeable In fortissimo pass
ages and climaxes.

cation samed To be musical assurance ard

considerably and bis fino voice was heard
