this Will not be accomplished by indors-
ing at the polls the Republican majority

Conclusion.
I have put aside congenial work, TO
which I had expected to devote my life,
in order to assume as best l can the re-
sponsibilities your convention putup me.
I solicit the cordial cooperation and
generous assistance of every man who
fslfeves that a change OF measures and
of men at this time would be wise, and
urge harmony Of endeavor as well as
vigorous action on the part OF all SO
minded.
The issues are Joined, and the people
must render the verdict.
Shall economy OF administration be de-
manded or shall extravaganza be encour-
aged?
Shall the wrongdoer be brought to bay
by the people, or must Justice wait upon
political oligarchy?
Shall our government stand Tor equai
opportunity or for special privilegeY
shall it remain a government OF law or
become one OF individual caprice?
Shall we cling to the rule of the people.
or shall we embrace benefcent despotismE
with calmness and confidence we await
the peoples verdict.
II called to the Office OF president I
shall consider myself the chief magistrate

Among the smartest gowns designed
for wear at spring weddings, recep-
tons, luncheons, ETC., are those of taft
feta glace, which, above all other silks.
is the fabric most in demand.
1t is used both plain in two toned
effect, and, with small self-toned
figures. and. as its quality is so de-
ightfully soft, pliable and light, it is
most admirably adapted to the present
notifications of the 1880 styles.
Ruching and pinking of all kinds will
be even more used on spring gowns
than during the winter and many new
methods have been invented for their
employment. -
One dainty way successfully used
on light colored gowns, is to head, or
edge, the fiounces-and most elaborate
gowns are fiounced-with a narrow
ruche of the silk, itself edged with
Valenciennes lace, and under this ruche
to sew wider one of white silk pink
ed on it's edges.
Another effective method is to trim
the f1ounces with two narrow ruff1es
headed by a ruche, as, for instance,
make an under ruff1e Of white silk,
pinked on it's edges, an upper ruff1e,
slightly narrower of black lace and a
ruche of the silk of which the gown is
made This makes an extremely
dainty trimming. the white silk and
