to the roll call at the town hail at IL
o'clock Tuesday morning. The
missing man was one of the Rochcs-

convention in the history of county
politics. Even little Baltimore
showed up with its delegation of

proceedings and but one or two sur
prises developed.
After the roll call by Secretary

mittces Hon. VIM. f. Johnson was
chosen chairman, making Il graceful
speech of acceptance. To his sus-
gestion that there ought to be few
more delegates on the platform to act

OUR LADY OF THE SHOWS.

Out u the sun, out Of the blast,
Out Of the world alone passed
Across the moor and through the wood
To where the monastery stood.
There neither lutte nor breathing fife,
Nor rumor of the world of life
Nor condolences low and dear
Shall strike the mcditativo car.
Aloof, unhelpful and unkind,
The prisoners of the iron mind,
Where nothing speaks except the bell,
The unfraternal brothers dwell.
,
And We, o brethren, what il God,
When from heavens top he spies abroad
And sees on this tormentcd stage
The noble war Of mankind rage
What II his vivitying eye,
0 monks, should pass your corner by
For still the Lord is Lord of might.
In deeds, in deeds he takes delight;
The pillow, the spear, the laden banks,
The field, the founded city marks.
He marks the smiler of the streets,
The singer upon garden seats.
He secs the climber III the rocks.
To him the shepherd folds his flocks.
For those he loves that undorprop
With daily virtues heaven top,
And bear the failing shy with @,so,
Unffowning caryntides.
Those he approves that ply the trade,
That rock the child, that we'd the maid,
That with weak virtues, weaker hands,
Sow gladncss on the pcoplcd lands,
And still with laughter, song nnd shout
Spin the great wheel of earth about.
But yeY I'VE who linger still
Here In your fortress on the hill,
With placid face, with tranquil breath.
The unsought volunteers of death,
Our cheerful general on high
With careless looks may pass you by!

The address delivered by former
president Grover Cleveland at

territorial expansion either through
conquest or voluntary annexation,

shaping and crystalizing the views
Of gold democrats upon this subject.
The Issue thus presented by MIR.
Cleveland for adoption by the gold
democracy was recently presented
by Col. William Jennings Bryan in
an address at Omaha for adoption
by the silver wing of the democratic
party. AS both leaders of the dem
ocratic factions are of the same opin-

unite upon the issue named, making
it the principal plank in the next
