their Democracy questioned. A careful
reader Of the platform adopted at Harris
burg will discern in the words "our match
less leader, w. J. Bryan" an indirectness
that exhibits little OF no admiration for the
Chicago platform, and the same care
ful reader will discern from the first plank
in the platform that the Bryan bust
ness" is to be fought over again in this state,
with moro OF less vigor than in 1896.
delegate from this county is authority
for the statement that Boss" Gufley was
compelled to betray Judge Yerkes by the
Bryan men. According to this authority
Messrs Harrity and Guffey, at one time the
intensest of political opponents, but recently
working unitedly with the view of carrying
to the next national convention a
delegation bowling to their will, agreed
as early as last February to favor the
nomination of Judge Yerkes for the
Supreme Court. The Pittsburg BIOS"
was aware of Yerkes support of tho cause of
Palmer and Bucllner but this rather elevated
HIM Those close to Guffey knew that he
used the Bryan cry as a popular one in 1896
with which to defeat his then political op-
ponent, Harrity, and that he has no great
faith in the Bryan dogmas. This is why the
silver men say they were given a gold brick
committeeman from this state.
The last day of the convention the Bryan
ties threatened Gut1ey, and finally compelled
| him to surrender, and to break his pledge
with Harrity, thus bowling Yerkes com
pletely out of the contest. Chairman Killing
and ex-Chairman Garman, who for selfish
reasons opposed the nomination of the Bucks
county candidate were the men who carried
| to Gufiey threats and hostile declarations
and the latter ran up the white flag.
| Guffey's seat in the national committee il
now in danger and his leadership il
weakened All because he worked to rul,
out Bryan and to suppress reference to the
Chicago platform. Certain members Of the
party in this state are now as willing to pusl
Guffey out of the committee as they were q
| year ago to let him, and claim that tho
unseating of Harrity was irregular and with
out rule or precedent. Whether Guffey is t.
he finally seated or not is a question yet to b'
determined by the national committee il
regular session.
THE COUNTY DEMOCRATS.
Local Democrats-especially those of golC
tendences-are determined to ignore
national issues entirely in the county fight
and are working to that end. They are dis
cussing the prediction of local silverites tina
the two delegates from this county will favo
Bryan and his theories. Said a well.knowI
gold d-standard Democrat: 1--WE are not ye
prepared to concede the ability of these cheal
money men to deliver the goods. Many
changes are possible in year. The Bryanite
are not going to have as clear a field as SOM
of his admirers are claiming. Furthermor
there win be no endorsement of the Chicag
platform, nor of Bryan, by the convention o
July 10th"
Thus it can be seen that our Democrati
friends are still divided on national issues
and are likely to remain III that mind. REX

In the spring of 1864, whom General
Banks was in command at New Orleans,
three brgatles were encamped at Baton
Rouge. and tho raw recruits were getting
into trim for the following campaign, and
incidentally becoming familiar with army
tactics. Finally q review was ordered, and
Admiral Farrasut was to be the guest of
tho occasion. With so distinguished n
visitor, the bandmaster of each regiment
strove to have a better programme than
any other. Besides the regular stock mu-
sic, "Star Spauglod Banner" Red
White and Blue, yankee Doodle" and
"Dixie," the band Of the Twenty fourth
Connecticut had dozen of the catchy airs

For the occasion General Banks and his
staff were han somely dressed and superb
ly mounted. General Grover and the other
general officers, each with his staff, were
also equippei In style. The uniforms of
Admiral Farragut and his staff were TO-
splendent, but their mounts wore such as
could te secured on short notice and were
not only poor In fesh but also lacked
drill. A large white horse was furnished
to the naval Of ief 1t was bony and minus

Generals Banks al Grover were chagrined
and were ab'dt to order q change of mu-

was laughing heartily, and with hat in

CHARTER CONFERENCE.


. A conferences was held over the proposed
City Charter on Saturday night
The conference, which was between
john s. Rosscl, NJ. p. Satterthwai'e JOS
eph l.. Carpenter. Jr and A. =. heed, COM
prising the Committee on Municipal He-
form OF the Board Of Trade, and Senators
Pyle and Knox and Representatives. Dom
ahoo. McNulty. Robertson and Kitchens,
resulted in but few expressions OF apprc-
val of the proposed mea 'ure and while
there was not pronounced seuttlB emit
agaiust 1t. It was discernabe that an under
current OF feeling which will break forth
when the bill properly comes before tho
Legislature. II 1t uoes, will surely lead to
its death. This sentiment was naturally
disappointing to the Board of Trade Com
mtttee which has spent SO much time and
labor on the measure, but 1t was 10 deter
mine b W the LEGISLATORS viewed the con-
ferenceowas held and to learn II 1t was
worth the committees while to further
support the measure.
The people don't know what the meas
ure contains" declared Mr.. Rossell. Mr.
Donahoe said no for one. did not. but he
never had condemned the bill nor would
not until he had thoroughly studiedit.
1t was unanimously agreed that tho
charter had suffered from comment COM
ing from people who wera unfamiliar with
the bill to be presented to the Legislature
but II it embodied such elements as did
the last measure, 1T would full of passage.
Two years ngoth Legislature considered
the charter no oi,l' ms ro 1t cal MEASURE.
but rs bill that Disseminated against
railroads. because of which Interpretation
1t was defeated.
Mr.. Rossall assured Senator Pyle That
objectonal features of that character had
been eliminated, but Mr.. Pyle re l'ed that
the members of the Legislature had not
been So informed.

Gcyour or to carry off Its prey. 1t was in
doing this that 10 acted "unjustly," as
the sequel showed.
On that same night the chief man Of
one of the little towns that make up Ga
boon had a Pig taken by a leopard. 1t
was natural to suppose that tho thief was
tho sans animal which the missionary
had sent away hungry. Had the mission
ury allowed hls calf to be eaton, the chief
man pig would have bsen saved. To the
African minu tho obligation was plain.
The man came tho next morning to MI

Who Was She.

A we'll dressed young girl stopped at the
house of Nicholas spieles near Hollyoak
last night. She has handsome gold
Oh but was short Of money.
Mrs. Spieles did not like her actions as
she acted as II her mind was partly I'M
balanced. The young woman was given
dollar and won't to the station to take q
train for this city.
She said that her lawyer had recently sc.
cured lnrgs sum ofmoney for her from
tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Who was the girl9 is u question many per.
sons are asking to-day.
