SAFE AND SANE.
New York Worldly

Whoever may be nominated for
president at St. Louis it is certain
that he will be representative of
safe and sane Democracy-if the ma
jority shall exercise its undoubted
and rightful power.
The votes pledged to Judge Park
err represent only a part Of the con-
sentative strength Of the convention.
The supporters of German, Olney,
Wall and Gray, and the friends of
Cleveland are as much opposed to
the rule-of-ruin policy Of Mr.. Bryan
as are the advocates Of Judge Park
err. Nearly all the uninstructed del
egates are in favor Of a campaign OF
sanity and good hope.
When these elements unite they can
nominate Judge Parker, or Demo
crat of his type, if not under the
two-thirds rule, then by the adoption
Of a Democratic majority rule. When
conspirators combine to enforce min
oritv rule, either as to committees,
platform or nominations, it will be
the duty Of those representing the
majority to unite to give effect to the
dominant Democratic sentiment of
the country.
The question as to the convention
has narrowed itself to this: Shall the
majority or the minority rule? Shall
the party have a sane and safe tick
ct and platform, or another campaign
Of lunacy and disaster?

THE CIRCUS Is
HERE TODAY
BARNUM g. BAILEY'S ARRIVED
IN THE CITY.
UNUSUAL SIGHTS
Are Seen-Sections Arrived Early
This Merning-North Nineteenth
Street the Place.

Today is circus day. Everybody,
young and old, looks upon it with
feeling totally different from that
which they have for the Fourth Of
July or other holidays. Everything
is laid aside and all turn their steps
cvircusward. The factories shut down
for the day to give their employees a
chance to visit the show, and every
clerk whose relatives have not died
on baseball days, finds he has to at
tend the funeral of somebody closely
related to him today.
That there were many hundreds Of
country people in to ''see the show
this afternoon. This is one day. All
others in the year are practically the
same, but this is different, Gin a way.
About four o'clock this morning,
just as day was breaking, a long train
of gaudy coaches, bearing gaudy wa
CONS, pulled in from the East and
stopped at North Twelfth street
Slowly. and with many yawns and
grunts. one by one, numbers Of men,
half dressed and not yet half awake,
dropped from the wagons and sundry
other sleeping places, grinned at the
youngsters who We're up that early
and waiting, and then, with many
shouts, set to work unloading the par
aphernalia Of the show. The circus
| had come. In some unknown tele-
pathic way in about five minutes it
was known everywhere that "the
show was in and persons Of all
sizes hastened to the ecene. In about
fifteen minutes the few. probably a
hundred, people who had been wait
ing were swelled to large number,
which increased at each minute. The
elephants and animals and everything
were viewed with great eagerness, by
| the crowd. which soon divided in two
parts, one following the wagons to the
circus grounds, and the other pre-
| ferring to wait and view the rest OF
/ the wonders.
! Throngs Of wondering people stood
around watching the unloading in one
part, and the rapid, swift setting-up
of the great tents in another. About
half past ten the parade begun.
Throughout its whole line Of march
the sidewalks were tlron.ed with peo-
pie, who FASTENED home for a bite to
eat and then away to the show
grounds. at twelve O'Clock or earlier.
The sight Of eager youngsters drag
ging unwillingIy or more staid par
ents and relatives was common one
at that hour and by one a steady
stream was pouring eastward.
Numbers have come in from the
surrounding cities to attend the cir
Gus and today the population OF
Richmond is augmented by several
thousand.

operator stamps a ticket and the

mollify the aggrieved users.
