This month dancing masters con-
gress will be held. in Berlin and it is
that the old-fashioned waltz
will be animated from the terp.
sichorean category-the graceful,
dreamy old waltz that mother used to
dance. The two-step. say the profess
sors, will take the place of the waltz.
But the professors are prevaricators
the abominable two-step which
makes dancers appear like cripples
affected by a fit can never take the
place of the waltz.

with q "dull thud.'' This term ought
not to be used, but it is the only one
IN the vocabulary that expresses the
situation. It certainly was the most
magnificent exhibition of endurance

Ramsey and Hennepln Control.
The rest of the proceedings were
pertunctory. Ramsey county had
made the nomination and Hennepin
had seconded it. These two counties
had a majority of the delegates
present anyway, and the country
didn't count.
Frank Day, chairman of the "slate,
committee, read the selections, and
they were Endorsed en- bloc.
The chairman of the committee on
resolutions read the platform agreed
upon. but no one heard it or wanted
to hear it. A motion to empower the
state central committee to fill possible
vacancies was promptly and over
whelmingly voted down. The conven-
ton experienced so much difficulty in
finding candidates it did not, propose
to supply any loopholes by which they
might escape.
No committees were appointed to
notify the candidates of their nomina-
ton, but as it don t make any differ
ence at election whether they or any
one else know whether the democrats
have made nominations, the omission
was not regarded seriously, and no
attempt was made to correct.
Thus began and thus ended the
most unique political state convention
ever held in Minnesota. Selah.

Columbus. Miss. Sept 15-(Spe ~ial.) -Judson Morgan. about 30 years old. son of the late ]. D. Morgan. disap- peared from his home in North Colum- bus yesterday evening.
 Morgan has been in Ill health many years and is under the constant watch of a negro male attendant. His oppor- tunity to get away came yesterday, and a search was instituted at once. be- cause he has frequently intimated a desire to take his own life. He was not found in the afternoon. and last night the roads and country around Columbus failed to show his hiding place.
 This afternoon at 1 o'clock he was spied coming towards his home with his throat badly cut. He had buried sevea--I valuables. including his watch and little money, and then slashed into his throat with pocket knife. Hc broke the blade trying to kill himself and after suffering some time, decid- ed to return home.

The Gres- ham, Harrison quarrel was intensified that day and was destined to have great effect on the future of politics in the country Levi F. Morton was nominated for Vice President with practically no opposition
 Cleveland and Thurman were nomin- ated without any serious opposition. Tammany Hall still hated Cleveland. but there was no open opposition in the convention which nominated him by exclamation. He still had the enmity of The New York Sun. the quarrel with MT. Dana remaining unsettled. Mir Watterson. the leading Democartic ed- itor in the country. was not en rapport with the administration.

 Senator Quay of Pennsylvania. was then at the apex of his glory as Il pract.ctioner of national politics. In the campaign he made the last effort out of the Solid South" The border States of the old Southern Democratic stronghold have been carried on by abrasion. but since 1880 the heart of the South has been untouched. Quay attempted. by the liberal use of monev and the corruption of election officers. to carry North Carolina, Florida and Tennessee. The Republicans polled unusually large votes in those States in that year, and there are many "wise guy" politicians in the South who will tell you to this day that the States would have been counted for Harrison If Harrison had needed them to win.
 But Harrison didn't need them, for he captured the pivotal and decisive State of New York by a plurality of over 14.000. That gave him the election, thanks to Tammany Hall. David Ben net Hill was the Democratic candidate for Governor on the same ticket wit, the Cleveland electors. Hill was elect ed Governor by nearly 10000 majority. The treachery was palpAble. and 1t had the fleet of enraging the Democratic hosts Of other parts of the country Four years later the Tammany Hall protest against Cleveland and the HIT snap boom for President were treated with scant courtesy.
 Although Harrison was elected Cleveland obtained a clear popular ma jority of 10000 much more than he had received four years before. As usual. whenever there is a minority President, there was a great outcry against the electoral system. and as usual, it amounted to nothing.
