owing to its simplicity. This was nee.
essarily so on account Of the state Of
Mr.. Vanderbilt's health, his physicians
thinking it unwise for him to undergo
anything but the quietest ceremony.
Therefore, outside Of the immediate
bridal party, only about so persons were
present.
The legal marriage ceremony was per.
formed by Rev. George F. Magill, D.
D., rector Of Trinity church, of which
Mr.. Vanderbilt is a member. It was
originally intended that Bishop Potter
should act in this capacity, but Rhode
Island laws forbid clergyman from
another state to perform wedding Ger.
emony here. Therefore the plan was
changed and Bishop Potter delivered
the benedictiOn.

Elsewhere.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-The gold stand
ard Democrats of the state met here
and nominated the following ticket
Governor, John g. Black; lieutenant
governor, Chester A. Babcock; secre-
tary Of state, Charles s. Wiley audi
tor, F. E. w. Bruck; treasurer, Ed
ward Ridgely; attorney general, Will
lam S. Forman.
The convention was bitterly against
Governor: Altgeld and the Chicago
platform and it had no hesitancy in de-
claring it's position. The platform
omitted any reference to Governor Alt
geld, although Monday night it was the
intention to allude to him in terms
more or less pointed. He was de-
nounced by many of the speakers, how
ever, and President Cleveland's name
was cheered every time it was NEIL
toned.
The platform had but little to say re-
garding silver, but was uncolnpromis-
ing in declaration for the gold standard:
The platform also demanded the ''retire-
ment of the United States government
from the banking business and gradual
redemption and cancellation of the
United States and treasury notes"
The Republican convention at St. Louis
was denounced as being in the control
Of Intriguing attorneys Of favored in
terests,' and the Chicago convention
was declared to have been dominated
by "agitators, sectionalists and dema-
gOgucs."
