A Mean Trick That Failed.

The Times-Herald of Chicago gave the
following account of a plan to defeat the
efforts of the Sound-money Marching Club:
Cook county's Sound-money Democratic
Marching Club left for Indianapolis last
night at II o'clock. The club found it nee
essary to overcome many difficulties before
its pecial train finally pulled out of the
Monon depot. TrainmaSter Scofeld I'M

in the tall silk hats. dark cutaway suits
and white ties and gloves that formed the
marching clubs uniform. secure the free
tickets to Indianapolis, march to the sta
ton and suddenly desert. Instead of going
to Indianapolis, he says. they would have
made an excursion among the ticket scalp
and sold their round-trip tickets for
what they could get
As soon as scofield, discovered this al
legged plot he changed his plans. Instead of
tickets cards were distributed at the head
quarters. These cards bore only the name
of Joseph Scoield,'' printed in pink type.
Not until the train crossed the Indiana line
were the holders of these cards given
round-trip tickets to indianapolis.

One Man Changes Heart.

At least one free-silver man has been
saved for the cause of sound money as a
result of the convention, and his voluntary
rescue was consummated even before the
convention was called to order. The party
referred to is a hack driver who drove a
hack engaged by number of Pennsyi-
vania delegates Tuesday, and who also had
a party of delegates out yesterday morn
ing. After he had listened to the sound
money talks between the members or these
parties he came back to his stand, and, APP

in a confidential manner what he had
heard and also informed him that he had
changed and intended to vote for sound

One of the visiting delegates, who was
the center of a large crowd of admirers in
the lobby of the Grand Hotel, asked those
who gathered around him If they knew of
any national Democratic convention be-
sides the one now being held in this city
since 1852. Silence reigned for a moment,
then the delegates gave a cheer and unani-
mously declared that this is the first Dem
ocratic convention since Cleveland was
elected They declared that the delegates
who were at the Chicago convention are
the real boilers of the party, and this is
the true Democratic convention, assembled
to promulgate the principles of Democracy.

a friend IN the same seat:
well, Democracy has good organ here.
The Journal has nearly twenty columns
and fine report of what is going on.

Early Morning Scenes.

Meetings and delegation work the pre-
vious night kept the delegates astir. till
after midnight, and the hotel Hobbies yes
terday were unusually quiet until the mid
die of the morning, when the visitors,
somewhat rested from travel and work,
managed to come downstairs and buy the
morning papers from any one of half a
dozen cities.
At 10 o'clock the entire square on Penn
sylvania street was full of moving people,
who congregated in front of the Denison
when the Indianapolis Military Band be-
gan playing outside. Suddenly the quick
music of Dixie" was started and a crowd
in front sent up a yell. Many of them
were delegates from Alabama. and one
strapping big fellow stood on one foot
while he shook the other and waved his
arms and two newspapers around his head
A number of delegates spent the morn
ing in carriage-riding over the town and
were well pleased with its appearance
Ex-Governor Flower, of New York, strolled
over from the Bates and met ii number of
his old friends and spent the time in hand

committee meetings during the morning.
and the band from Birmingham, Ala, spent
an hour or so playing, while Governor
Buckners name would be cheered at every
The badges of the Chicago Sound Money
Club were most numerous, and eight or a
dozen members secured tally-ho and rode
over town. They stopped several times
for refreshments, and on Washington street
one of the members got sentimental and
sang Farewell Darling at the top of
his voice. while the girls on the corner
peeped out of the corners of their eyes.
A couple of the parlors at the Denison
had rows of beds in them Ike a hospital.
and several of the delegates received their
friends stretched out on them, their feet
up and enjoying smoke at the same time
The lobby at the Bates was not as crowd
ed as that OF the Denison, and the silver
and gold arguments of the previous night
were absent. There was great amount
of committee work to be done and the dele
gates were in their State quarters.
C. w. Fairbanks called at the Bates and
his tall figure attracted much attention
when he was pointed out as the temporary
chairman of the national Republicans con-
vention at St. Louis.
Some of the delegates procured an arm
load of golden-rod, and New Yorker pro-
vided a bunch OF the yellow flower for
every man in the lobby.

The subject was Character Building
from the text i Cor. 3:le-eLet every
man take heed how he buildeth,' and in
said
Character is spoken Of in the Scrip
lures as a building. The text tells US to
be careful how and what we build, a
very important subject. since many are
building so heedIessly. Some men are
building booths to dwell in but q day; 9TH
ers are building shanties. useless and de-
%structfble. Some peoples characters may
best be compared to a saloon, a bau room,
a millinery or d~ressnaker's parlor.
we should put up q building that is
beautiful; useful and durable. Il plumb
ing should be good, there should be a
good water supply. il should be well light
ed. and it should lave every modern i'm
proyement. The building should be put up
on the foundation. The mistake of the
moralist is, he builds without a founda-
ton. and therefore sooner or later the
building crashes together. Our character
should be founded upon the teachings

have me to do?' He will tell you.
Use only the best material. What you

every thought, word. deed, is a plank.

raw and green material into the build

wise, though the material be good it
will not stand Build honestly Let the
parts of the building that are hidden from
Eiaw be as well built as those exposed
to the public gaze. In other words. when
you sing, sing with the heart as well as
the lips; when you bend the body in pray
er, pray in spirit and in truth.
Build we'll, for your work viii be in
spected. 1t will be subjected to the fire
test BY God himself. God looks not at the
that this building Is to be the dwelling
place Of God the Father. God the Son
and God the Holy Spirit. It is being built
for the New Jerusalem, and is TO endure
forever.
