a CRAZY WEDDING
I went TO d Moro wedding the other

saw The man and woman were seoar-

all performed on the man After the
curtain was raised, then both sat with
eyes on the ground for some time, and
the custom is for the bride to fight and
scratch whenever the groom comes near.

NEW YORK. Jan. 26-EX-Goyernor
David B. 1871 will not have it all his own
way AS the Eastern leader OF The anti
Bryan Democracy. At the present
time he Is unquestionabiy stronger than
are all his rivals or opponents combined;
but he has enemies within The Democratic
party, bitter and unrelcnting, and they
are not inactive. IL they. cannot win
themselves, they are resolved that Hill
shall not carry off the prize Of the nom
ination in 1901.

wise, voiced The sentiments of the anti
Hill men when. in an apparent lapse of
political forgctfulness. he recently ask
ed. Who is HIP" The query gave a
shock 10 the Jill shouters. Or, rather,
the Hin sappcrs and miners. for the
campaign Mr.. Hill is so mcthodically
conducting has not a brass band at the
head OF the column. On the contrary,
his tactics are those of that master Dem
ocTatic politician OF the last halls of the
old century. Samuel j. I,idcn. In the
great battle that Tildcn made for the
Presidency he had under his personal
command q political army as thoroughly
organized and otlicered as the regular
army OF the United States, perhaps more
SO. 1t had its corps and division COM
manders and there was not an hour Of
the day or night when every one of them
was not within call and subject to what
ever order he issued. 1t cost an immense
amount of money, but Tilden had the
millions, and he was generous in his eS
penditBres when the qualification of his
ambition was involved. Again, as u gen
era1 in actual war has his maps and
plans of forts and fortresses, SO was
Tilden similarly equipped in a political
point of view. Under his special direc-
lions maps were made of every doubtful
district in the country. On them was
tabulated the vote cast in each for years,
and there was in addition a mass of per-
sonal and other memoranda, giving a
succinct history of the political fiuctua-
lions that il had witnessed. Three years
ago scores and scores of these maps We're

who. as You know, had been Btsnop Oh

of tension between the Vatican and the
Italian Government, 1t was agreed at the
last conclave to elect a man who was not
a favorite with the Italian authorities,

Advontage of following 1t would be the

Pope practical prisoner for the last
thirty years.
SOME NEGATIVE RULES.
There are also a few negative rules
which are observed by the cardinals in
the selection of new Pope: such as, lot
instance, the exclusion from tile high Of
ice of any one of their number VINO
has held a high position under the pre-
yious Pontiff For example, l have not
the slightest chance at being made Pope
the Secretary of State is never selected.
He is supposed to know too much about
the policy of the deceased Popeto nave
too many State secrets at his command
With a new Pope is demanded new
policy and consequently no cardinal VINO
mas been identified with the policy OF the
deceased Pope is ever chosen to succeed
him.
..Another of the negative principles
which directed the Cardinals composing
the last Conclave in the election OF the
present Pope was that all the CardlnalS
who belonged to religious orders were 10
be barred from the pontitical throne IN
all probability this same principle Will
be observed in the next Conclave. because
of the well-known jealousy of the reilS-
ious orders against each other. ana the
well-grouuded fear that monk once
elected Pope would favor his own order
at the expense of the others. For this
reason no Jesuit Cardinal has. ever been
elected to the See of St. Peter.
AS Cardinal Rampolla talked, my mind
was running over the list of Cardinals
which these unwritten rules would eN-
cIude from consideration at the hands OF
the next Conclave. I thought of the
Brothers VannuteIli. who, although very
popular with the Roman aristocracy, are
not so we'll regarded by the friends OF
the present Pope, because of their I'D
eral leanings. The names of Capecelatro.
Frisco, Sarto, Richelmy and other friends
of italian Government officials also cross
