ceptance of the nomination as above would insure a congressional representa- tive known to hold the right opinions on this question and whose character and ability any district might well be proud of.
 Awaiting your reply, and with best re- gards, l am your very obedient servant,
 THURLOW WEED BARNES.
 No. Broad Street, New York, Sept. g. My Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter and to explain that the delay in acknowledging it has been caused by absence from the city.
 I am deeply sensible of the compliment which you have paid me in asking me to become candidate or congress in the Twelfth district. I have not the slight est doubt that any person who may be nominated by the republican convention and indorsed by the sound money' dem ocrats may be elected by a decisive ma jority, but am nevertheless constrained to decline the invitation with which you have honored me.
 The assault led by MT. Bryan on American honor and industry is fraught with such danger to the country that shall vote for Major Mckinley as the most effective method by which I can aid in preventing it's success. I could not, however accept any nomination during this campaign or an election or appointment after the campaign to any office, however exalted. for which I would be indebted to the political organization whose candidate I am compelled to sup port by the exigencies of grave na- tional peril but to whose distinctive principles l am opposed.
 While the democratic organization re- mains a party to the populist conspiracy against wages, I shall labor untiringly for it's defeat, but I will not consent to profit by it's overthrow. The faithless leaders who have betrayed the demo- cratic convention to the populists deserve a crushing rebuke at the polls, and I am anxious to jon in administering 1t to them, but am resolved to share the ex- clusion from office which I shall urge the people to impose on my party.
 I shall continue to maintain an uncom- promising opposition to Tillmanism and Bryanism until the end of the campaign, but can accept no other reward for such @ course than the feeling that I will be expiating in some degree the follies and excesses of the party to whose success I have contributed in the past, but whose strength has become a menace to the peace and prosperity of the country.
 With expressions of gratitude for the fiattering terms in which you speak of my service in congress, and with assur- ances of the highest personal regard, l am, my dear sir, your obedient servant,

CIDER sOLD AS CHAMrAGNE.
A Common Deception That Only Ex.
pcrts Can Detect.

From Chambers Journal.
AS a fact, the finest cider is not made
by the British grower, but in Norman
dy. They have in that province brought
cider-making to perfection. The total
production every year there amounts
to hundreds Of millions of gallons and
it is made with the utmost care. To
begin. they chose the site of the orch
ard with Judgment and see that the
soil is of the type that apples love,
and they are equally thoughtful in sell
Getting the varieties of the apples most
fit for cider. Indeed, for the very finest
cider their solicitude is so great that
none but the second or third years
fruit Of the trees is used. and when the
process Of fermentation isreached moth
ing is left to chance. Chemists of great
experience watch the changes in the
liquor, and the skill with which the
process is regulated is based on the
knowledge gathered from long practice.
The result is that some Normandy ci-
der is equal in delicacy and flavor to
fine campagne, and many cheap cham
pagnes are simply sophisticated cider.
This deception is very general. The
great bulk of the cider made in Nor
mandy goes to the champagne dis
tricts and Is used to make cheap cham
payne and to form the body of other
wines, too. Port it seems, can be made.
and often is made. of cider. the color
being impaired by logwood or red
beet Juice and the flavor by the addi-
tion in very nice proportions of the
root Ct the rhatany. This, it is said,
is an imitation SO excellent that the fla.
vor would deceive good Judge of port.
