Cleveland sass Democracy Has Now Re-
turned to sanity.

Organizes seem justified in declining
TO affiliate with the Parker-Cleveland
party. While Mr.. Cleveland is not the
Democratic candidate, he is the great
eat gun in the party. What he says is
a sure indication Of the sentiments OF
eastern Democrats-and they are now
firmly in the saddle. Mr.. Cleveland
solemnly rejoices over the defeat OF
Organism at st. Louis. When asked
by a correspondent what he thought
of Judge Parker's gold telegram and
the action of the convention following
its receipt, Mr.. Cleveland rose slowly
and. after Il brief silence, said:
'The party's action speaks for itself.
1t has returned to sanity and future
progress along the right lines now is
assured. Yes, it spec&s for itself. The
welfare of the Democratic party Is
close TO my heart, and it Is c more
upon the right road"

HAMMERED THE AGENT.
Lively Affair and Call for Police but
No Arrests Made.

There was a lively mix UP at the
Singer Sewing Machine companys Of
fee on East Temple street about II 80
o'clock this morning. during which an
agent for the company had his COM
plexion considerably damaged by an
irate customer. The police were called
In. Sergeant HempeI and Officer Simp-
son responding. but the names OF the
principals TO the fracas could not be
learned and nc arrests were made.
According TO the story told TO the
officers. a couple OF days ago, the ma
chine agent called at a certain house
near Ninth South, and sold a lady q
machine, After she had signed the
contract, the agent hung around the
place and finally wound up by Insulting
the woman. The latter told her hus-
band about It this morning.
At the time above mentioned, a mild
appearing man called at the company's
Office and inquired for the agent, II
happened that the. man he was looking
for was In. The husband politely In
quircd " he were the gentleman who
sold Mrs. So and So the machine.
Upon receiving an affirmative answer
the mild hammered husband Immediate
ly turned into a human cyclone and
proceeded TO hammer the machine
agent. After breaking a tooth or two
and backing the agents eyes, the hus-
band quietly withdrew. Then the call
for police was sent In. When the Of
flcers arrived and heard the agents
story, they decided they could not make
an arrest unless the injured person
swore out a complaint. The latter
insisted that he was not the man who
insulted the lady, but declared that he
did not want to have the mild hammered
man from River ven arrested.
