SPEECH AT CINCINNATI.
Nominating James G. blaine for the
Presidency, june. 1875.

Iresiuehcy' june. 1910.
(By Robert G. Ingersoll)
Massachusetts may be satisfied with
the loyalty of Benjamin II. Bristow; so
am l; but if any man nominated by
this convention cannot carry the state
OF Massachusetts,, l am not satisfied
with the loyalty of that state. II the
nominee Of this convention can not
carry the grand old Commonwealth of
Massachusetts by seventy-five thousand
majority, l would advise them to sell
out Faneuil Hall as Democratic head
quarters. / would advise them to take
from Bunker Hill that old monument
of glory.
The Republicans of the United States
demand as their leader in the great
contest of 1876 man of intelligence, a
man of integrity, man of well-known
and approved political opinions. They
demand statesman; they demand a
reformer after as well as before the
election. They demand politician in
the highest, broadcast and best sense-a
man of superb moral courage. They
demand man acquainted with public
affairs-with the wants of the people;
with not only the requirements Of the

1t should not be supposed that the

the power to decide contests: that

That Incident Prevented WINDOWS Nom

From the Minneapolis Journal: In the
political history of the state Window
Ten" has been written down as bur-
lesque incident. When the campaign
for the republican nomination for
president in 1880 was in progress Min
nesota was an overwhelmingly en-
thusiastic Blaine state. Senator Conk-
ling's daring ambition was to defeat
Blaine, and he was shrewd enough to
see that Minnesota could not be
swerved from Blaine save by sprlnging
"favorite son." Mr.. Window was
flattered by Conkling's suggestion and
the poison spread to his friends, with
the result that Minnesota went to Chi
cago solidly instructed for Window. At
that time Minnesota only had ten dele
gates to the national convention, and
during the four days balloting the
reading clerk would announce in stem

ton week than hot weather. St. Louis,
according to all reports, will furnish
better facilities than ever before have
been accorded to National convention.
The immense new auditorium, where
the Republican National Convention
will be held, will accommodate $4,000.
There will be 900 National delegates in
the convention this year--more than
ever Beforehand the same number Of
alternates. There will be SO members
Of the National Committee present, and
the rest of the vast audience will con-
sist mainly of "rooters" for the several
candidates whose names are to be pre-
sented for the highest honor in the
gift of the American people.
According to recent estimate, there
will be none too much room. 1t is
customary to give to the city in which
the convention is held, the largest
block of seats st. Louis will have
more seats in the auditorium than any
convention city ever obtained before.
1t has put in modest request for
$500 seats, and will probably receive
$500 at least. Ohio and Iowa, being
near by and both having prominent
candidates, will probably send the two
largest State Delegations. Ohio, it is
estimated by jealous Republicans of
the Buckeye state, may have as many
as 10000 Republicans in ST. Louis, but,

Timothy Il. Byrnes of Minneapolis,
who has been elected sergeant-at-arms
of the convention by the National Com
mittee, will have charge OF the distri-
button of tickets for admission. Each
National delegate and alternate will re-
ceive two tickets-and as many more
as they can get. The member of the
National Committee from each state
will make out a list of all Republicans
in his state who may want to attend
the proceedings, and the tickets will be
distributed among the different states,
pro rata. Under the system of distri-
button which Sergeant-at-Arms Byrnes
will employ it will be practically i'm
possible for the friends Of any one can
didate to pack" the convention hall,
despite the fears ofsuch an event which
have been expressed. Mr.. Byrnes has
aid that. so far as he has the power,
he friends of all the candidates will be
treated alike.
The real work of the convention,
leading up to and providing for the
selection of the National ticket, is
done in committee rooms. Spacious
accommodations for committee work
have been provided in the auditorium,
and the newspaper facilities will be es-
pecially convenient.

CHILDHOOD.

Where the beautiful children are playing
And ask the bright fays as they trip DER the

What the leaves and the zephyrs are saying
Their laughter is sweet the odors Of May
That breathe from the violets blue
Oh, beautiful children, can years chase away
All the secrets spring whispers to you?
Alas, when the springtide that smiles round
them now
Gives place to the winters white rime,
And the sunlight that softly caresses each brow
Is dulled by the shadows Of time,
whose voices that thrilled to the heart of the
young
Will whisper their secrets in vain.
Their music grow mute as a song that is sung,
And only yearning remain

Fooled After All.

During the peninsular war a number Of
English officers had established mess in
Spanish village, with native cooks, whose
efforts were fairly satisfactory to the keen
appetites of the campaigners. They were
Joined, however, by a certain peevish, can
tankerous major, who bitterly complained
that every dish was favored with sugar,
after the Spanish fashion, and quite uneat
able. Finally, he confined himself to a
diet on eggs boiled in the shell. They
can't sugar those" he cried trumphantly.
But his triumph was short lived. Next
morning some mischievous subs were at
the mess table before the major and emp
tied all the salt cellars, replacing their con
tents with powdered sugar. The major
soon appeared, and with gloomy compla-
cency began upon an egg, with which, as
usual, he took plenty of salt" At the
first mouthful his face turned purple with
rage "Sugared, by Jovep' he exclaimed
and rushed of to his tent. Francisco

account for this effect by stating that the
salt in the thread forms, with the ashes of
the cotton, fine film of glass which is
strong enough to support the ring or any
other small weight.

pocket lids were also of the fur, and down
the front Of the coat were brandebourgs to

1t was both pretty and pert.
There is another novelty in coats This
consists in having loose, open sleeves, or
mantle sleeves, as they are called. The
sleeve is cut on the straight of the cloth
and is the whole wdth-that is, it is 81 to
