An UndesIrnbIe Invitniion.

state democracy 60 De present ana partic-
ipate ia the great meeting the populists

FOR the purpose OF raufyng the nomina-
tions Of Bryan ana Watson. We feel quite
confident that no one Of the democratic
leaders is seeking an Invitation 10 take
part iu the meeting. and that 81 democratic
leaders should receive Invitations they
would be very much IN doubt as TO what
course they ought to pursue in respect to

and democrats therefore don't want 10 give
onense to the populists. Some plan may be
hit upon by which Mr.. Watson viii be the
Vice Presidential candidate Of the populists
at least Of the southern populist-and
the democrats OF the south. II it should
turn out to be that way democrats who
should refuse to attend to the populist
ratification meeting might have cause to
regret their failure to do so.
IT seems 10 us that it would please the
popullst greatly 10 see some Of the most
prominent democrats Of the state sitting
on the platform at "a populist ratification
meeting. They claim the ticket composed
Of Bryan and Watson is a populist ticket,
and If democrats should take part in de
monstraton in behalf Of that ticket the
popullsts might say that. at least in the
south, the democratic party had been cap
tured by the poDulist party. The statement
would not Of course rest upon a founda-
ton Of truth but it might have considera-
bic influence in the campaign for state
and county officers. 1t is well understood
that the populists intend to nominate a
state ticket, and also candidates for the
legislature and for county officers All
things considered. therefore, It would be
just as well probably for democrats to let
tho popuusts ratify their Presidential tick
ct without any assistance from democrats.

nryan's Chances.

An effort is being made to create the
impression that Mr.. Bryan has not acted
fairly toward Mr.. sewan because he
has not declined the populist nominal
tion. In the comments on this subject
it is stated that Mr.. Bryan declared he
would not accept the populist nomination
unless Mr.. sewall was nominated.
A careful reading of Mr.. Bryans dis
patch to Senator Jones does not show
that he made any such statement. What
he said was this: Il am not willing to
be placed in the attitude Of securing help
from other organizations by sacrificing
my associate on the ticket. He is as
squarely upon the Chicago platform as
1 am myself and he has defended the
cause of bimetallism against much great
er opposition than have the men of the
west and the south
Mr.. Bryan has done nothing and will
do nothing that will injure the political
prospects of Mr.. Sewal. While he did
not say he would not accept the populist
nomination unless Mr.. Sewall was also
nominated. the prospect is now that he
will not have to either accept or reject
that nomination, because it seems to
be understood that he will not be officially
notified OF it,
He will nevertheless get the popullst
vote. He will not only get that vote but
he will get the votes Of all who favor
free silver coinage.
The lines are clearly drawn between
those who favor gold and those who IA
vor silver, and, while there is no basis
for an estimate as to how many republi-
cans are going to vote for silver or how
many democrats will vote for gold. the
impression gained from an inspection of
the vote cast by the different parties four
years ago is that Mr. Bryan will be elect
ed.
Four years ago the democrats cast s.
Boo 562 votes and won the election. In that
year the populists cast 1865, 1874 votes and
in the congressional elections two years
later they cast 100000 votes. It is pretty
safe to estimate that they will cast this
year 100000 votes 1t is apparent from
the foregoing figures that Mr.. Bryan could
lose more than a million democratic votes
and still win the election. 1t is quite
certain, however, that he will not lose
that many democratic votes, probably not
half that many, and when it is taken
into consideration that he will get many
thousands of republican votes-republi-
cans who favor silver-it seems to be
almost certain that he will be elected.
a fact that must not be overlooked is
that the chief gain of the populists two
years ago was in the doubtful middle
western states.

Some people get into the habit of talking
all the time in political language, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. The other night Bill
Aikens went into Pike Thompson's saloon
out in Grizzly Gulch, with parcel OF
friends, and he laid down a silver dollar
on the counter. While he was talking with
some of the boys the dollar mysteriously
disappeared. Bill stared al the spot where
it had been lying, and then looked Pike
square in the eye.

Pike, and he laid two big reYOlvers upon

From the Cleveland Leader.
I have no store of wealth" he said,
And you are far above me,
But l would rise to lofty nights,
If you'd but say you loved me.
Though men look down upon me now,
I'd make them all revere me,
If l could only win your hand,
And have you ever near me.
I'D carve my name in letters bright
Where men could all behold it,
If you would let me have your heart
And my breast enfold it,"
Though you have neither wealth MOI

Who talks to me as you do;
You'd better get a rabbits foot
To drive away your hoOdoo."

The Composition Again

An editor who goes in largely for the
high-fiown style of writing, says Happy
Thought, once began one OF his extrava-
CANT leading articles in this fashion: TO
morrow is the anniversary of the death
of Louis Philippe"
The editors penmanship was not by any
means the easiest TO decipher, so when
the proof was handed to him it read: TO
morrow is the anniversary of the death
of Sam Philips"
Extremely indignant at what he deem
ed a wanton insult, he wrathfully wrote
on the margin of the proof: who the
Dickens is this Sam Philips?"
Having reproved the printer in scath-
ing fashion, ne went home; but at break
fast in the morning, when he turned with
pride to his article, which he considered
better than usual, he sprang up in a tow
ering rage on finding it begun thus: TO
of Sam Philips. Who the Dickens is this
Sam Philips?"

August Shrader, the Texas divine healer.
is reported to have reduced his opera
lions to a business basis. He claims to
be the age9t of the deity, and to heal by
the laying on Of hands, and with hand
kerchiefs which he has blessed. He is
in Dallas now. and is accompanied by a
business agent who can talk like a cir
Gus ticket seller, and who sells blessed
handkerchiefs as fast as he can handle
them. 1t is conjectured that Schrader
blesses them by the case. before they are
unpacked; blesses them by wholesale. or
in any other way the situation calls for.

his services, but accepts free win Of
ferings." The bankers say that every day
or two he changes a bag of silver coins
for bills.

The Ghost Wore rubber Boots.

They tell of a man on Newspaper Row
that once upon a time he was a reporter
on the local staff of a paper that was not
paying expenses, says the Washington
Post. 1t wasn't even paying salaries; in
fact, though the reporter was supposed to
be drawing $50 a week. The managing
editor sent for him enc day. The report
er answered the old mans summons-the
managing editor is always called the old
man.
you've done good work, my boy" said
the managing editor and I'm going 10
raise your salary to.S25 a week"
Raise my salary!' the reporter re-
marked. Nav you don't; not if l know
it,. I'm losing $50 a week now"
The paper, however. did pay salaries
after awhile, at least, a few of them. and
quite cOnhdentially as 1t were. The young
reporter happened to be one Of the lucky.
He met a fellow-repOrter, who, exclam-
ing on his unusual supply of funds, said:
Why, didn't know the ghost walked. -
1T did" replied the lucky reporter. 1T
did, but II wore rubber boots"

Saturday has come to be a regularly rec
ognized begging day in this city On that
day the beggars come to town. some
in rags. some in tags" but none Sin velvet
gowns" From early in the morning un-
til late at night beggars are to be en-
countered on almost every corner in the
business part of the city. Many of
them make a regular house-to-house and
store-to-store canvass for aims. Most of
them are persistent, and virtually have
to be bought off. There are deserving
ones among them, but the probabilities
are that the majority are unworthy. and
are as much able to work for their living
as are the people whom they importune.
Where they so after begging hours is not
known. but by Monday morning few OF
them are to be seen. They keep out of
the way, usually, for six days of the
week But when Saturday comes they
are always out in force.
