Yesterday's convention had tho appcaranco
moro ol a Democratic gathering than
Republican. It was 11:30 o'clock when
Chairman Edwards brought tho gavel down
and declared nn adjournment.
Tho forming of tho combination and tho
success of tho men whoso names appeared on
tho "slate," was an exhibition of great
generalship and clear political sagacity. Just
as suro as night follows day, Mr. Brumm
was defeated Sunday morning. Ho realized
this. Brumm would never have consented to
a combination with Sain Losch and Jack
Whitehousc his two political enemies had
ho not seen defeat staring him in tlio face,
Every man nominated was on tho "slate,"
and it went through without a break oi
crack.
It is not generally known whoso was tho
uidlug hand that manipulated tho combina
tion. It is generally Bupposod that tho Con
grcssman and his man "Friday" were tho
originators, but such is not tho ease. Tlioy
grasped at tho opportunity to get in out of
tho wet, and afterwards throw their strength
to tho slated candidates. That is tho sum
total of their participation. Tho man who
formulated tho deal, and in whoso mind it
originated, is a resident of tho county scat
and his reward will eomo later. Watch tho
developments.
As a pleader at tho bar William D. Seltzer
may bo a success, but as an advocate for
Congressional candidate ho is not. Ho dl
played very poor judgment in presenting
Dengler's namo to tlio convention, and tlio
latter suffered thereby.
To say thero aro no sores as a result of
yesterday's proceedings, would not be tho
truth. Somo of tho defeated candidates aro
very "warm." It need not surpriso you to
hear of tho dischargo of a deputy in one of
tho offices on tho "hill." Tho threat has
been mado. But such things aro natural,
and this feeling will wear oif in a day or two.
Wo cannot all bo nominated.

SACRIFICED FORTUNE FOR LOVE.
Despite Parental Opposition and a Threat
of Disinheritance the Marriage Takes
Place None of Mr. Vanderbllt's
Family PresentA Quiet Affair.
New York, Aua. 1. Despite tho deter
mined opposition of his family, nnd In do
flnnco of tho threat of disinheritance, Mr.
Cornelius Vnndorlillt, Jr., wusmnrrled to
Miss Grace Wilson yesterday. Mr. Vnndor-
bllt, Sr., warned tho young man thnt If ho
contracted tho innrrlngo ho would hnvo to
depend upon Mb own resources for a live
lihood, and ho need expect no shnro of tho
Vundcrbilt fortune. Thus tho son, by
disobeying hl father's wishes, throw
nwny his prospocts of Inheriting a largo
lump of tho 8100,000,01)0 which Mr. Vnn
dorbllt, Sr Is estimated to bo worth.
Not a mcmlior of tho Vnnderbilt family
was oven Invited to tho wedding, which
was notnblo for its simplicity. Perhaps
novor In tho history of tho Vnnderbilt or
Wilson families hnHRUch a quiet wedding
boon solemnized.
Shortly beforo noon Itov Wlllinm II.
Pott, assistant to I)r Drown, rector of St.
Thomns' church, entered tho house. Tho
CORNELIUS VAXDEUIIILT, Jit.
roar drawing room had been daintily dec
orated with choioo cut flowers enrly in tho
morning, nml at noon everything was In
readiness for tho ceremony, when Itov.
Mr. Pott took up n position lit tho eastern
end of tho room. A moment Inter young
Mr. Vnnderbilt ontcred tho room, accom
panied by his bcit man. Mr. Polk.
Tho fow guests then grouped themselves
to tho left of tho minister. Soft strains of
innsio from a stringed orchostra an
nounced tho coming of tho bride. Miss
Wilson, attended solely by her father,
inarched down tho main hull and through
tho center archway leading to tho rear
drawing room. Sho looked a picturo of
beauty In her white gown, a creation of
French art. Sho wore a veil of oxtromo
old English laco, reaching to tho bottom
of her gown. It was fastcnod by a mag
nificent wreath of diamonds, surmounted
by a bunch of orange blossoms.
As soon as Miss llson entered tho room
tho groom stepped forward, and taking
her by tho hand they both stepped beforo
tho oillciating minister. In flvo minutes
MRS. CORNELIUS VAXDEItHILT, JR.
It wns nil ovor, and Miss Wilson was tho
wifo of tho son of ono of America's great
est millionaires. Thero woro no ushers,
and many of tho conventionalities attend
ing such weddings wero omitted. After
tho coromony tho small gn'herlng offered
their congratulations to tho young couple.
No wedding breakfast having been pre
pared, Mr. and Mrs. Vandorblit retired to
npartmonts up stairs and donned their
traveling apparel. At 13:35 tho brldouml
groom, followed by a shower of rico, loft
tho houso and entortd a coupe awaltingnt
tho door. Where tho brldo and groom
will bpond their honoymoon was not given
out, hut thoy wero driven to tho Grand
Central station, nnd It is understood
they will go to Saratoga. It Is said thoy
havo no plans for tho future. Thoy
may go abroad for a year, but this has not
boon decided, nor has tho placo thoy will
tuako their permanent homo.
Hardly had tho coromony boon finished
beforo telegrams of congratulations begun
arriving. They wero principally from
friends of tho Wilson fnmlly, but somo of
Mr. Vanderbllt's chums remembered him.
From across tho wutor camo cablegrams
of congratulations from tho Vrlnco of
Wnlos, tho Duko and Duchoss of Marl
borough, tho Earl and Countoss of Pom
broko anil othors of tho nobility.
Tho groom's gift to tho brldo was a
largo diamond hourt, composed of somo
thirty extremely brilliant dl'imonds, with
a beautiful sapphire In tho center.
Unloss tho fathor persists In his threat
to disinherit him. tho son will eventually
como into tho possession of an Immonso
fortune, ns Cornelius Vnnderbilt, Sr., Is
estimated to bo worth ?100,000,000. Young
Cornollus Is lu good favor with wealthy
mcmbors of tho family, and will likely,
under any circumstances, rccolvo a largo
sum from tins source.
