A FREE SILVER VICTORY PREDICTED.
REPRESENTATIVE BAILEY SAYS THERE CAN BE
NO OTHER LOGICAL RESULT AT THE
CHICAGO CONVENTION.

Washington May 30 (speciaD. Representative
Bailey Of Texas, who started last night for Ken
lucky TO take part In the fight now raging between
the free-coinage and sound money wings of the
Democratic party In that State; SAID before leaving
Washington
II have no doubt whatever OF the triumph OF
silver at Chicago. The old Democratic stroDghods
are all in line, and friends in the West are
standing firm. The people at last aroused on
the subject The audiences that / have addressed
showed the lveliest interest. and reports | received
from local leaders were all highly encouraging Bat
there Is nothing strange about this Why should
there be anything strange about It? II the Demo-
cratic party by platforms adopted and by votes
cast In Congress Is committed TO anything, II Is
committed TO free silver
"You think. then. that the party should so declare
itself at Chicago
I'm the most unmistakable terms. The platform
adopted there should be Democratic from top 10
bottom and II will be- And more than that. II will
contain a pledge that the candidates wno stand upon
It win In case OF election be strictly and faithfully
guided by IL. We don't want. and IL We control
things don't intend to have, any more straddles
The platform must point In but one direction. and
the candidates must point in the same direction
Then II we win at the polls and believe we Will
win our duty will be plain before us. and our Ex-
ecutive altogether to be trusted TO carry out our
wishes and pledges. The charge Of double-dealing
will not then lie against anybody"

SERVANTS BALL IN PARIS.
a Splendid Affair In Which 5000 Do
mestics Are Interested.

A Splendid Affair In Which 5000 Do
mestics Are Interested.
One OF the great balls of Paris is that
of the so-calIed BAL des Gems de Mai
son" at the Sale Wagram, which has
just been held. The Gems de Maison"
are an association comprising some
5000 of the superior servants, the
cream, in fact, and the aristocracy of
the 10000 donestics employed to wait
upon the well-to-do citizens of Paris.
The union is rich and eclectic, in so far
as it will permit no servant TO retain his
or her name on the rolls who has been
guilty of disgraceful conduct.
The president is NJ. Picard, butler
of imposing presence, who, with a
broad, blue sash of Office crossing his
capacious white waistcoat, as the rib
bon of the Legion of Honor crosses that
of President Faure, received the guests
at the ball with just as much dignity
and stateliness as if he were the chief
magistrate of the republic in person
The demeanor of the guests was IRE,
proachable, and the attire of both men
and women compared favorably with
that of the people present at the mu.
nicipal ball a couple of days previously.
The men were in full evening dress,
while the magnificent jewels that
adorned the necks, the arms, and the
coiffures of many of the women gave
evidence of the fact that their mistress
eS had allowed them for the occasion
fra<a ooao,<, II,
These gems, however, and the costly
laees may be said to have constituted
the sum total of the borrowed plunfes
for it was manifest from the perfect
fit of the gowns that they had been
made for their weareTs. This is by nc
means surprising when 1t is borne ID
mind that to the lady's maids, the Wallets
the buffers and the private coachmen
in Paris this Balls des Gems de Maison
constitutes the principal social event
and festival of the entire year, the one
for which they reserve all their finery
and all their economies, as well as their
best manners. Masters and mistresscs
seem to take pleasure in helping the
members of their household to cut
good figure Oh this occasion, and MANY
is the lady's maid who can boast OF
having had the finishing touches given
TO her toilet and the jewels fastened
into her hair, around her throat and
wrists and into her ears by the hands
CT her own mistress. The only feature
OF the entertainment calculated &C
cause a smile and to create some
amusement was the precedence accord.
