made the closing speech of the day. 1.-THE
Republicans" said he, started out conftnlng
themselves TO State issues, but they found that
that wouldn't do, AID they have shifted their
position and endeavorcd to bring National
issues into the matter. Roosevelt was brought
from New York, for what, it is hard to tell, I'M
less it was to bewiider the voter"
ae referred to the appointments OF Cover
nor Lowndes, and compared them with those
of Democratic Governors.
"Public office" said Lowndes, sis a public
trust" and i'll carrying out that doctrine in his
own way, l will say that there never was a
more unblushiug use of Official patronage than
in 1896.
MIR. Wilkinson referred to many instances
with which the public are familiar; the elections
of wellington and McComas as United States
Senators; the election of Shaefer as Speaker
and Lcwndes' promise (unfultilled) to make
Shaeter Fire Marshal. He has personally APP
pealed to the creatures of his appointment to
support him, as u reward for their appoint
ment.'
The speaker reviewed in scathing language
the public career Of Governor Lowndes from
the time he made his appearance in Annapolis
to collect the judgments against the State IN
the Canal matters, to his late unprecedented
action in pardonug the notorious negro con-
Vict Hanson Luckett, of Montgomery county
in time for him to register and help in the re-
election of the Governor.
In his peroration he paid a handsome tribute
| to Col. John Walter Smith and advised all true
Democrats to vote the entire ticket on Tues
day

Iowndes has revolutionized every public
school board in the State by appointing Re-
publicans in the place of Democrats and by ill.,
was appointed to q school board in my own
county of Worcester in 1898. He believed
that when Lowndes said there should be no
politics in the schools, he meant il, and re-
fused to do the bidding of the Governor and
Was dismissed.
The present condition OF affairs is standing
rebuttal of their claim that they are running
the schools on a non-partsan plan. Out of
sixty men whom Lowndes has appointed to
school boards only two are Democrats, and
they are at heart Republicans.
The letters which he has personally sent to
the teachers are an insult to them, their inteli-
gence and honesty.
The Senate OF 1896 was composed of ID
Democrats IL Republicans and W.; Caoell
Bruce, ana it is hard to locate him. He gave
us notice when he ran for the Office of President
Of the Senate, that if we didn't elect him the
Republicans would, and he would accept it.

hilligan, Wilkin 4 Co.'S Closing ont
Sale.

Everybody knows that the Knabe
Piano is one Of the foremost instru-
ments in this country. They are re-
garded as an artistic piano, in fact. a
work of art. 1t rarely occurs that
these pianos are offered at sacrifices,
but it so happens that in the closing
out sale of Milligan, Wilkin & Co. there
were number of these magnificent
pianos in stock. When the directors
decided to consolidate the business of
the F. w. Banner Co. they concluded
to offer the entire stock of Milligan,
Wilkin & Co. regardless of the make
or the style of the pianos then on
hands, This explains why these artis-
tic pianos are offered at the closing out
sale.
1t behooyes anyone who wants fine
instrument to come at once to Milligan,
Wilkin & Co.'s old stand. No. 1886
Market street, and examine the prices
at which they are Offering these fine
instruments. Never before has such an
opportunity been presented to the eiti-
zens of Wheeling to become the owner
of a very choice piano at price at
which it can never be bought for again.
The store will be open in the even
ings until the entire stock is disposed Of.

The Tiger FaSvns.

Mr.. Crokers warm. praise of Mr.. Bryan In
his first public utterance Immediately after
his return home has sent the stock of the
foolish little Van Wyck presidential boom
tar below par and has greatly mystitied
the politicians. 1t is being variously con-
strued, according to individual views of
Mr.. Cookers political methods and his
character. On one hand it is asserted that
he is trying to confuse the situation by
wabbling; on another side it is declared
that Croker is following the trend of I'M
mistakab BILE democratic judgment; another
interpreter puts it that Croker Is trying
to destroy Bryan by loading him down with
the danning weight of Tammanys support
The fact remains that Mr.. Croker COM
mands attention for. the time as a man Of
mystery. whose word is eagerly sought by
the practical workers, and whose judgment
is known to influence certain coterie in
the metropolis. The words of praise for
the silver leader sound hollow coming from
the lips of Croker. which have often utter
ed such bitter derision of the Nebraskan.
But no man ever accused Richard Croker

he would be a more conspicuous man out OF
leadership than in it, The other thing he
could not afford To remain in the House
and fight his party or even annoy it, would
ruin him.
Mr.. Reed. 1t Is we'll understood, does not
approve of the course of the administration
with respect to foreign affairs. He did
what he could to defeat the annexation of
Hawaii. and he was bitterly opposed to the
war with Spain. He sneered at the terms
OF the trey 4 peace. and with his caustic
wit has f'Hthe ed a majority of the shafts
which haN- ~. N launched at the West In
dian and the Philippine policies. The
democracy. indeed, is much in his debt on
this account. His decision, therefore, to
quit the field. rather than remain and sur
render his judgment, or in following it an
tagonize his party, was wise. To accept
the speakership from the hands of his
party, and then turn the influence of the
office against the party, would have been
an act of perfidy. He was incapable of
such an act. and took the only honorable
course op4'n to him.

An interested public would greatly appre-
ciate an accurate definition of the term
generally fair" which often occurs in
the course of official weather forecasts, and
which. as it is to be noted formed part of
the representation issued this morning
covering the District of Columbia and vi
cinity:
District of Columbia and vicinty-Gen-
orally fair today and tomorrow; moderate
temperature; fresh northery Winds
Generally fair is an old acquaintance
Nevertheless its precise meaning is lost
upon the people If today's experience is
to be taken index. generally fair
means generally rain" for there has been
no question from early hour this morn
ing that there would be precipitation in this
vicinity before night. There has, in fact,
been bare minimum of fair weather in
this city today with a maximum of rain.
Nor is this an uncommon experience.
Generally fair has SO often been the fore
runner of clouds and moisture that a sug-
gestion has crept into the minds of the
people that it is the expression of the
agonizinS doubt which assails the fore
caster when the chances are even. Posi-
bly, rain is a familiar phrase in this con-
nection. and is easily understood. 1t ad-
mn dpiH SCI YES the purpose Oh expressing
the inability of the official confidently to
answer the conundrum of the elements If
generally fair means that the chances
for rain do not quite Justify possibly
showers why would it not be better to
amend the text by offering possibly fair
forecast? Or a frank use of doubt
fur would even be more apt. Generally
fair may mean that the skies will be al
ternately clear and clouded or that it will
be fair in one portion of the forecast re-
giOn and rainy in another portion; or that
the whole day over the whole area will re-
main quvering in doubt. 1t is not just to
a public which has learned to accord a high
degree of faith to the forecasters TO leave
such narrowing doubts alive when the
English language is so rich in the means of
accurate expression.
