Who Will the Democratic Candidate

Who will the Democratic Candidate
be?
New York, March 81. The talk over
the 81 and the go Democratic dinners
on Jefferson Day has become ludicrous.
Elk. Senator German, Of Maryland, at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel tonight smil.
ingly warned of all inquiry as to which
Of the two Democratic dinners, the Al
OF the $40 one, he is TO attend. Mr.
Germans friends believe that he:should
be q candidate for the nomination for
President in the next Democratic Ma.
tional Convention Col Bryan 3 friends
insist that he shall be renominated.
One Of the most important Democrats
in this State says that he is convinced
that former Gov. Stone, Of Missouri,
was TO be proposed in the Democratic
National Convention next year, and
that Stones friends were already try
ing to secure the Southern and Western
delegates for him. In addition 70 Cor.
man, Bryan, and Stone, it must not
be forgotten that former Supreme Court
Justice Augustus Van WICK, Of Brook
Ign, has been told that the lightning
may strike him.
The anti Eastern Democrats control
the Democratic National Committee by
q vote Of 81 to 10. The Democratic
National Committee prepares the tenn.
porary roll Of delegates for the national
convention. and this temporary or
ganization appoints, among other COM
mittees, the committee on resolutions,
which prepares the platform to be sub
mitted to the convention. Just wheth-
er Mr.. Bryan or MI. Stone will con.
troll the thirty seven votes Ia the COM
mittee is one OF the problems upper
most in the minds OF Democrats now
marching up and down the country
preparing for next years battle.
Letters sent into the East from the
West and Southwest say that Bryan Is
losing ground for the reason that he
sticks TO free silver at 10 20 but the
majority Of the testimony from the
Southern States az received in New
York is 10 the effect that Bryan is still
very popular in that section.
Bryan practically lost his State last
fall, while former Gov. Stone. Of Mis-
souri,, can still point to a rock.ribbed
Democratic State Mr. German lost
his State Of Maryland last fall and Mr..
Van Wyck lost the State Of New York.
SO that, according to Eastern Demo-
Gratis conversant with the discussions
Of their Western brethren, former Gov.
Stone at the moment seems to be in the
best position.

Provincetown, Mass, was recently

has notified Vice. President Hobart that
he will accept the place Of secretary OF

dispensed on strickly partisan lines
otherwise. he says, he does not care to
take the position. Some time ago a

signed letter TO General Olarkson,
asking him to become secretary OF the
Senate. MIR. Olarkson's record in the
Postofice Department, where he re-
placed so 90 democratic postmssters
with as many republicans, would be a
sufficient guarantee to the republican
Senators. if he should become secretary
o. the Senate, that the Office would be
conducted on partisan principles.
General Olarkson is a violent parti-
san, and adheres strickly to the princi.
pie ito the viotors belong the spoils. I"

LINES OF The Big RACERS

New York, September 27.-The
Shamrock was today safely dry
docked at Erie Basin. Every pre-
caution was taken to prevent mis-.
hap to the big cutter, and twenty
minutes after she was warped in
to position over the twelve block,
at the bottom of the dock her
keel was resting securely 10 place.
The re was no attempt to hide the
lines of the yacht from view.
The Shamrock lay alongslde the
partly burned steamer Bucaros all
night, and early this morning her
crew was put to work scrsping off
the green paint that covered her
top sides, exposing the true metal
underneath. just what metal these
two upper streaks of plates are
composed of is a secret, but it
looks much like a competition of
aluminium and nickel, very light
and at the came time very strong.
AT the time the Shsmrock's keel
touched the blocks there were
about twelve feet of water from
blocks to the surface, which makes
her drsught about the same figure,
or an inch or two less. The crew
was at once put to work in two
squads scrubbing the hull with
brushes. -
The experts expected to see
something new and q radical de-
psrture from the old type OF Eng
lish cutter. The Shamrock can be
described as a vessel with Bri-
tsnia body and Defender FIN and
lead, including the latter's rock
keel, but with greater drsught
than either. There is nothing par
ticularly handsome about the cut
ter's lines, except that they are all
curves, there being no straight
lines except from the turn Of the
guard boards to the lead.
In comparison with the Colum.
bis, the Shamrock is fuller bodied,
especially am:dships, has about
foot more beam aud a draught
about ten inches greater. Her
overhangs are shorter, so that the
lines OF her are not so we'll
carried out as in the Colum bis,
and, being shor., increase the look
of bulkiness. Then she lie higher
sided than the cup defender.
The Shamrock carries more
sail than the Columbia, as her
mast lie stepped about two feet
farther aft, giving her more head
sail, while the maiDsail is also
larger than the. cup defenders.
The Shsmrock's amidship sec
tions are continuous curves from
the deck lines to the turn of the
cardboard. Her bilge hardens
greatly at the q1arter Just oppo
site to the Columbia's, and gives
one the impression that it will
retard her progress in sailing.
Amidships the Columbia has a
line almost straight f:om the bilee
to cardboard, giving her flatte-
floor, while the Shamrock is full
and round.
When the lead keel was expos
ed it was found to be unlike thu
Columbis's.' in that it is uupro.
tected by bronze. 1t is painted
with a sort Of red composition to
protect it from the action of the
salt water, but the crew had con.
siderable work in cleaning off the

DOUBLE WEDDING.

West X elsey-Ws Hatch At the Home
of Brides Parents Aurora.
On Wednesday August 2, 1899, few
invited guests assembled al the res
idencs of "A. E. West. father of the
brides, In Aurora, s. D., to witness the
marriage of two of our prominent
young ladies. The dwelling was taste
fully decorated for the occasion, so
important In the lives OF the four con-
tracing parties. At the appointed
hour Miss Eta West as bridesmaid
and Mr.. Paul Brown as groomsman
appeared followed by Miss Annie
Belle West and Mr.. Erwin I. Hatch.
Then came Miss Winnie E. West and
Mr.. Edward A. Kelsey.
Rev. T. Fl. Hill, Of Aurora, per-
formed the wedding ceremony uniting
the first mentioned couple as man and
wife and Rev. w. G.. Connsll, of Pipe
stone, Minn., rendered like service
to the latter couple. The ceremonies
were very pretty and impressive.
Hearty congratulations were then ex-
tended and all present were invited TO
the wedding feast.
Many beautiful, valuable aud use
ful presents were bestowed upon both
couples by friends both present and
absent.
The same evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Kelsey departed for Bryant, S. D.,

is engaged In the mercantile business,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Hatch went east to
visit few days at Wells, Mimi, and
other points, after which time they
will take up their residence at How
