HISTORY OF YOUR PARTY

it is in it's opposition to seotionalism ;
but just at the moment when industrial
expositions in the North and South and
various other causes, had mingled the
people of all regions into ono, you have
new sectionalism arising in this con-
vention, worse than the old, asserted
again and again by men like Tillman in
the South, and the hoy orator" and his
oompeers in the extreme West; their
main grievance being the thrift and pros
perity of the great Central and Eastern
States in our nation, and the fact that
these States have furnished SO much of
the capital which has built up the West
and South. Therefore it is that I call
on you and men like you, to come out of
that mob of unreason, and to stand
shoulder to shoulder with the Rspubli-
can party for the country. I again re.

Exhibit of Manual Training School Work.
Messrs. Hooper, Son & Leighton have
given up their east window to an exhibit
ton of samples Of the work done by the
pupils in the Manual Training school,
which has made such an advance under
the efficient direction and earnest exer-
lions of Mr.. George H. Babb, its
principal.
1t is very surprising what mechanical
talent has been brought to view in these
young students by the course here Illus
trated, and very gratifying to note how
very practical is the line Of work being
followed. The articles shown came in
every case, from the work benches of the
Training school and surely do reflect
great credit on the ones whose efforts
nroducsd them. The exhibit is to be con-
tinued during the next week. All our
Deople should see it.

Captain Aliens work.

Captain Allen Of the Missionary yacht
Alert. who has spent a few days in port,
left yesterday for the eastward. He has
had the very best medical advice possible
and is in the way of improvement in
health. He expects to spend next Sunday
and the following week at Muscongus
Island. when the religious interest still
continues. Other destitute places have
put in claims and will be visited. Th
captain says that the season has been
very hard upon the fishermen, whose
solo reliance Is upon shore fishing, and
specially Holsters. Many families are al
ready suffering, and Others will be. The
days he spent here were exceedingly
busy, gathering the large supply OF
clothing, and goods to make up into
clothing among the people for them
selves and one another. 1t is hoped that
our citizens will remember this work
and the diligent and self-saorifice worker
and send in supplies both OF money and
good things. The pastor of the Bethel,
sent and forward as required.
One pleasant episode of Captain Allen s
visit was in meeting just the boy he has
been looking for these many months to
go with him to assist in management
and care Of the yacht, a colored lad of
about fifteen years from Demarara,
British Guiana, fine manly youth just
arrival, needing just such a place. We
call it an accident. But our missionary
friend thinks it was more than that; and
probably he is right. Young Marston, son
of the cashier of the Northern Banking
company, went for short cruise, and the
happy two had fine breeze to watt them
toward the sunrise.
