Bevill did not agree in their diagnosis of the case. Dr. Bevill claimed that after he left, Dr. Grem- illon influenced the Sterk family to dis charge him, and then Dr. Gremillon was given the case, and he called in a Dr. Cor don as consulting physician.

He declared one could attempt to say what would become of the Demo- cratic party four years hence. "Our desti- n.y." said he, must be defined by the prin- ciples which have guided the party since its foundation.

 q would rather continue to lose," said he, than to surrender any of the principles for which we have fought The situation was as dark in 1872 as now, but we honestly won in 1876. We are still in the fight. Tho platform that was right when written in Kansas City Is right now"
 Referring to party reorganization, he said:
 When a man Is divorced from his wife he no longer looks after the welfare of his wife until he is remarried to her."
