"How came this lady here, Maya, and

pare myself for sleep when, looking
into yonder mirror, saw her behind
me having in her hand a naked knife
and searching the room with her eyes.
Presently they fell upon the cradle,
and, lifting the knife, she took step
toward it. Then 1 turned and gripped
her, holding her as well as / was able,

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.

The Populist convention at Chicago,
masquerading under a Democratic
name, like wolf in sleeps clothing,
was consistent i'll its platform declara-
tons and in its nominations. William
J. Bryan having been repudiated by
the Cleveland administration and the
Democracy of the Nebraska district
that once elected him to Congress, has
hung upon the ragged edge of Popu-
ism for two years or more, seeking an
opportunity to drop into its vortex
whenever he could see a fair prospect
of striking a pudding. He found his
opportunity in the aggregation of dis
cordant elements assembled at Chica
go, and was quick to seize it in an artful
speech which appealed forcibly to the
excited imaginatious aud syInpathics
of the horde of silver shouters VINO had
captured the convention. Mr. Bryan's
youth is the least of the many obiec-
tons to him as presidential candida te.

sense would have dictated the selection

THE Democratic national convention
is said to have been intoxicated by the
eloquence of the "boy orator OF the
Platte" whom it nominated for the
presidency. Such condition of inc
briecy is not at all surprising in DEM
ocratic convention, though it may have
approached a little nearer the snake
stage this time than usual. The silver
delegates will have ample time to sober

DEMoCRACY's BIG BOLT.

The silver bolt from the st. Louis
convention pales into insignificance
alongside of the gold bolt from the
Democratic convention at Chicago.
There were about three times as many
gold Democrats defeated at Chicago as
there were silver Republicans defeated
at St. Louis, and not single Republic
can paper Of national influence bOlted
the st. Lonis platform or nominees,
while the greatest Democratic papers
in the cOunsry, the New York Sun,
the World and the Herald, thu Balti-
more Sun and Evening News, Louis
Vile Courier-Journal, and many less
widely known have bolted the plat
form and the nominations and practi-
cally announced their intention to sup
port the Republican ticket. The World
says;
"Lunacy having dictated the platform,
it was perhaps natural that hySteria
shuld evolve the candidate. 1t is to the
future that the World looks in consider
ing the effect of this convention. There

ton this is to doubt the Intelligence, the
underlying honesty and the public NOR
ality of the people,"
The Sun attributes the demand for
debased coinage to Southern poverty
engendered by the war, and the COM
mon discomfort stirred up to the recil-
lessness by the agitation of the past
twelve years" 1t urges ''every Dem
Ocrat who favors honest money and
who still hopes to crush the enemies Of
the fundamental principles he believes
In" to support Mckinley without
hesitation, evasion or prejudice" and
on the money question it expresses
itself further as follows:
Free silver coinage would be nation
al dlShOnOr and monumental anachrO-
nism. Silver has had its day as the mon
ey standard. The silver campaign is
based on deluSiOns which have no justi-
hcati0n and on statements which are not
so. 1t cannot prevail, and every sincere
believer in fair dealing and in business
honor as the foundation Of commercial
prosperity must put aside all other pur-
poses and unite for its defeat
The New York Herald, also Demo-
cratic and one of the most powerful
papers in the country, in an earnest
editorial in its issue of the eighth IN
slant, urged the sound money Demo
