has his innings and the day holds in
terest for the adult population as well,
for the great Wallace shows are to ex-
hibit on the Island. They will arrive
this morning over the Ohio River road
from Parkersburg.
One Of the greatest difficulties that
the managers of the great modern cir
cuses have to contend with is the dearth
of acrObatic equestriennes. Not one
girl out of a thousand who essays the
art ever achieves success, and not one
out of hundred of those who succeed
ever attain eminence. In all the world
there is probably not more than half
dozen who are considered truly great.
at the head Of this little coterie of
celebrities stands beautiful Blanche
Reed, this season under engagement to
the great Wallace shows.
In point of poise, grace, dash and dar-
ing agility her riding simply defes all
description. Nothing she does looks
difficult nor appears indeed to require
effort. She is secure and as much at
home in her unstable position on the
heaving, bounding back of a galloping
horse as is a society belle on ball room
floor.

of what Democracy had either not at
tempted or failed to do toward better
ing the conditions Of the land.
DR.. Fitch remarked that gold viii
never wear out or burn up and prom
ised to be the standard forever. Don't
scratch your ticket, he advised, Tor let
me warn you that it is in this way that
the devil gets in. During q siege OF
Democracy which he had closely OBJ
served, re found that capitalists were
afraid to invest as freely as they would
when the Republicans were in power.
He said that Mr.. Bryan was a fine
orator. but not a good prophet; that
his ideas of government would never
be realized. You will have to put MI.
Mckinley out, he said, in order to put
Mr.. Bryan in.sand I don't believe you
will do it. In his opinion, Mr.. Holt
was nice man but he would not get
in. Continuing, he stated that in 1892
everybody wanted change, even the
colored people, and they got change
yes, change in their pocketbooks. and
regretted it. The meanest Republican,
he thought, was better than the best
Democrat politically, and hoped that
the press would quote him correctly for
this expression of opinion.
The chairman then announced thas
there were other speakers present who
had positively declined acceptance OF
an invitation to speak owing to the late

thanks to the assemblage for its e.

Spouse. and the crowd dispersed.
