That aturdy old war hone, -8enater
Jeseph McDonald, of Indiana, has been
studying the polltlesl situation la hie state
ter aeme time and baa oeme te the conclusion
that the Hoesler Dsmecrata want the re
election el President Cleveland. He aald
thta evening that the people of hie etete, par
ticularly the farmer element, were deeply
impressed with the safety end Integrity etlhe
present administration.
I nieat certainty believe," he continued,
that Cleveland will be the choice el the
nest Democratic ronventlen. I knew that
he would have the support of the Indiana
delenatlen."
"He must tie reneminated," lie added
eerneatly. Whom else could the party
hope te elect T '
Will you net tie In the convention T"
Paid the venerable politician In aurprlae :
Ne, no I have had mv time. I have oeme
end gene. But I am a Democrat te the core
and I want te aee my party aueceed, and
Cleveland la the man who can help It te that
end. J de net mean te say that he haa
pleased all the diverse elements of the party,
and It Is further true that be haa raised iiulle
an army of npiienents In disappointed appli
cants for office and tbelr frienda. Jlut among
the people there Is an abiding faltb In the
man's honesty and courage. He la the new
character In American peiltlct net anoma
lous, perhaps, but certainly novel. De I
think he want another term T Well, while
I knew that Cleveland has never done one
single act calculated te obtain a renomlnatlen
I believe that he would consent te head hla
party In another campaign. He la by no
means of a phlegmatic temper. He would
delight In such a substantial Indersement of
his policy as a re election; for, with all hla In
pedendence and determination, he la exceed
ingly sensitive te censure.
Mr. Hlsltie Is net likely te be his oppon
ent lu the nxtotnptgn,nerHherman either,
lilalne will dntibtlena have a potent voice In
namlnir the ltupubllcm nominee, and he
will eurtalnly give no favor te .Sherman.
Neither of them could carry New Yerk, ler
the same stalwart who fought the Maine
man would oppose Hbermsn. Against any
candldt",i;illevnClflveIand would win the
state. The detth of Jehn Kelly, the leader
of the Tammany element, removes a factor
that probably worked te Cleveland's harm,
and In anether campaign 1 de net think that
one Democratic ppr In the state would be
foolish enough te try te defeat him."
Will net Garland's rotentlen In the cabi
net Imi the occasleu el clamor against Cleve
land T"
"Net with Justice, certainly," said Mr.
McDonald. I knew that insny of the
president's friends bave urged blm te re
move the attorney general ; but Cleveland
was convinced of Garland's honesty, Just as I
am, and be Is net a man te be driven by
motives or policy te such a wrong aa Gar
land's removal would hse been. As they
say In the plsy,he msy bave been Imprudent
but net guilty."

after a thoughtful pue, "1 te be the dl

In these sections of the country where the
laboring community have been led te believe
In tnetlllcacy of a high protective tarIB the
Republican will lene many voters enough,
possibly, te completoly destroy their power ;
butelsowhnre the less will fall most heavily
en the Democrat. A recent act, however,
of Cleveland's has done much te win blm fa
vor among the work Inn classes. I refer te
bis course In the Guilferd Miller affair.
Trilling as the matter msy seem te seme, I
consider It one of the mnnt timely and right
eous acta of recent administrations. It has

when the Mendelsaehn club and tba members
el the grand oherus had taken their plaeM la

a general feeling of regret that LancMter

The "March Rellgieuse" wm marked by
grandeur and dignity, and In tbe celebrated
Andsntejef Hsyden Mr. Berst showed great
skill In manglng the steps. The third aelec aelec
tlen brought out the grand chorus, grand In
fact m well m In name, for tbey sang remark
ably well, though they have net been long
training.
Lemmen'e Fantasia" Tbe Storm," tested
the powers of the ergsn te tbelr utmost limit,
and proved the wonderful skill of the organ
tat Tbe heavy rumble or thunder, tbe rush
and whistle of the wind, and tbe rear of the
storm, were all given In a way that required
but little help of imagination te make people
wish tbat they had brought tbelr umbrellas.
Wagner'awedding music was given with
much spirit by the Mendelssohn club and wm
repeated te the evident satisfaction or tbe
audience.
Mr. Berst's Pasteral Is beautiful and simple,
end ths Communion in F, solemn. Then
followed s rippling melody, net en the pre

en a familiar theme.
The grand chorus came In again In King

Mr. Heward Hayes, basso, singing their
sole parts with care and finish. Tbe
"Fantasia" wm powerful and Inspiring,
but tbe event et the evening wm the
splendid rendering of tbe "Inllammatup."
Miss Marguerite Potts, tbe soprano, sppesred
te be In excellent voice and ssng with vigor
and clearness. Her clear, sweet voice, rising
and falling m the oecMlon demanded and the
ease with which ahe Meended tbe scale te

audience te restrain tbelr entbustasm. Tbe
club wm In perfect sympathy with the
organist and leader. The lnflammatus"
wm kindly repeated. The familiar overture
from Tell wm rendered by Mr. Berst with
skiU and power, making a graceful finish te
a most delightful entertainment
Mad Cemm.nt en Lancaster's Taste.
Editors op iNTKM.teBSCKR. Lwt night
the citizens of Lancaster were given an op
pert unity of enjoying a rare musical treat 1
mean tbe organ recital at tbe First Reformed
church. 1 My, given the opportunity ; but,
trem tbe limited number present, tt is evi
dent tbat very few availed themselves et this
opportunity. Surely, a city with 30,000 in
habitants bM mere tban .100 musical people,
or levers of music, within Its precincts I This
wm about the number present last night, in
cluding tbe cberua or 80 voices. I feel aure
tbat these wbe were present will echo my sen
tlment when I say, tbat an entertainment
such m this was, deserves far better patron
age; and Mr. Walter Bausman, wbe se
ably directed It deserve better treat,
ment from tbe citizens of this city.
He hM been among us long
enough te claim our confidence and
feel assured tbat wbat be undertakes and the
talent be engages from abroad, will in no
wise dlssppelnt or prove te be of an interior
order.
Men de net generally engage in business
enterprises for tbe mere fun of doing se, and
unless they receive adequate support, they
abandon tbelr projects; se tee here, If tbe
people of Lancaster are In tbe future de
prived el such musical treats tbey will bave
no one te blame but themselves.
I felt constrained te-wrlte thus, net from
any personal Interest, but because I feel
tbat Mr. Bausman and the Mendelssohn club
deserve better treatment trem tbe citizens of
tbls city. Truly Ycurs,
