cratic party. And SO Grover Cleveland
was nominated, and he was elected
after memorable contest.
Delaware Democrats accepted the
nomination of Mr. Cleveland gracious
ly at first. and with sincere adnira-
ton and enthusiasm In a short time.
Mr.. Bayard took q leading part In the
campaign and made eloquent and eff
fective speeches in various places. One
of his best was delivered in BROOKLYN
early in the campaign, before a great
audience in the old skating rink. at
the close of which, after an eloquent
presentation Of Mr.. Cleveland's career
and his fine promise Of future useful
ness and public service. he said.
He has made a good sheriff.
"He has made a good mayor

Flow this prophecy was made good
by Mr.. Cleveland we all know.
The Democratic State Convention re-
nominated Charles Is. Lore for Rep

publican convention nominated An
thony Higgins. Mr.. Higgins selection
was the result of a factional victory
but voters of the other faction sun

PASSlON PLAY AT NANCY.

Before the World War there were
two pretentious passion plays pre.
scented on the Continent. The most
popular one was that given by the
Bavarian peasants at oberammergau
which was heralded in the same pro
fcient manner that Berlin m,,sia
han show would be advertised. That
was in the days when some hypnotized
Americans believed that God had a
special throne in Germany--because
the Kaiser had told them so. There
fore no passion play could equal that
i of Observation-Disclosures no peasants
could be as spiritual as those German
svineherdcrs-at least so said the
hypnotized ones.
During those years a similar pas-
sion play. founded on the Oberam-
mergau text, was being given in
Nancy. But few Americans took
the trouble to see it. 1T just isn't
the thing, m'dear: Prof Stanke-
never told us that the French have
no spiritual feelings at ali" was what
one would hear half-baked Americans
say as they embarked from Paris for
Bavaria. But those who really knew
went TO Nancy. True. they were not
asked TO bny cheap images at prohibit
i've prices, and they were not inpor !
tuned to purchase "a clay head of
Christ modelled by Christus himself.
the French did not care to commercial
izo their passion play. But they did give
a performance which was marvellous
FOR its spiritual Interpretation.
When the war began the noble
Christians who conducted the Oberam-
mergau show decided that Christian
charity should end: 50 they prohibited
the French from using their text. God
and the story Of Christ were to be in
the private possession OF Wilhelm \
strasse henceforth. But this did not

II is not likely that the new city

touch this matter. While there are
some well-cduoated men of under

are dominated by q certain political
organization which cares more fur

OF the community. Any law which |
