DEMOCRATIC OPINIONS.
What Same of the Leading Papers Say of
the Nnmlnatlnn of William MeKlnley
at At. Louts.
From the Philadelphia Times, (l)em.)
It is, under the circumstances, an
entirely logical nominntion. Me
Kinley fairly represents the average
sentiment of his party. He is n
man of ability and character and
will be a popular candidate. Unless
he shall himself weaken his position
by raising false issues and trying to
evade the clear declaration of his
party, tho present probabilities are
all in favor of his election. He has
but to go forward on the line laid
down for him to command tho sup
port of all who prize the integrity
and security of this nation.
Abram 8. Hewitt, ex Mayor of
New York and ex-Congressman and
one of the most distinguished and
influential Domocrnts in tho coun
try writes the following letter to the
New York Journal :
"Being a firm believer in the doc
trine that gold is the only possible
money standard for this country, I
subscribe, of course, to the gold ex-
iression of the Republican platform.
It is clear, direct, conclusive. If the
delegates of the convention at Chi
cago adopt a straddle or any other
subterfuge on this money question ;
if they accept a platform which is
not as unmistakable as the Republi
can one, the sound money Democrats
Will vote for the Republican candi
dates. I know shall. There Is no
other question at the present mo
ment than this, of a solul tlnanclnl
bnsis. It wipes out everything elso.
Tho tariff 'isn't in it.' "
From the New York Times, (Dent.)
McKinlcy unquestionably erabod
ies today more completely than any
other public man of prominence the
essential spirit of protectionism.
Garrett A. Hobart, the candidate
for Vice President, telegraphs as
follows to W. R. Hearst, editor of
the New York Journal :
The poople of New Jersey, wheth
er they are or have boon Democra ts
or Republicans, alike behove that
tho long yours of adversity which
this country is now enduring can be
succeeded by years of great, If not
greater prosperity than the United
States have ever seen, if the admin
istration will base its line of conduct
upon tho certain principles of pro
tection and sound money.
On those two principles the Re
publican party makes its appeal to
the people to help them bring the
country lutck to better times and
happior days.
(From fho New York Sun Dum.)
The Republicans have nominated
McKinley, with unanimity not ex
pressed for any successful new can
didate, with the exception of Fre
mont, the first Republican candi
date in 1856 and Grant the third, in
1868. They alone were nominated
for a first term on the first ballot.
The fortune of a' name has given
McKinley the unrivalled prestige of
representing, beyond any other Re
publican, the reverse of the disast
rous, aimless, and utterly unAmori
can polities of Grover Cleveland.
Men like Thomas B. Reed and Levi
P. Morton have lost in the lottery,
and McKinley has won. Cleveland-
ism has made McKinley.
Tho Republican platform is for
gold. It is unassailable before the
American peoplo. The Republican
platform is for protection. The
Democrats must adhere indomitably
to the 1892 platform of a "tariff for
revenue qnly," or let the tariff sink
out of sight.

non township. N. J., on last Friday

circle. The funeral was held on
Monday at his late residonje and
was attondod by a very large, con -
course of neighbors and friends.
Tho funeral discourse was preached
by Rev. T. M. Grenelle of Glonwood

The " Good Shepherd In the Presbyterian

The little ones in that department
did remarkably well owing to the
efficient instruction given them by
their teacher, Miss Bull.

Mr. Nichols has the happy faculty
of boing able to express the deepest
truths in language so clear and sim
ple that the youngest cliildren could

were so could readily be seen by the
rapt expression on their faces. The
subject of his address was the
" Good Shepherd."

Don't For the Iloye.
Don't throw lighted firecrackers
above your head, especially if there
are little girls with light dressos
standing near you.
Don't hold powdor and lighted
punk in the same hand.
Don't look into the mouth of a toy
cannon to see why it hasn't gone
off.
Don't put firecrackers into your
pocket.
Don t drop a Roman candle if a
spark hapixms to burn you. Be
brave and shake it all the harder,
but never drop it, for the balls may
do serious damage.
Don t leave matches and lighted
punk where the ladies may tread on
them.
Don't fool with toy pistols.
Don't make fun of the little ones,
who take pleasure in torpedoes and
are afraid of firecrackers. You were
little once, remember.
Don't be mean, but let the ragged
boys and girls pick up somo crack
ers which may not go off. You
might drop some on purpose for
them if you wish to be generous.

Dingley would be ground to pieces.
Should another train be going in tho
opposite direction and meet the ra

IN WASHINGTON'S TIME.
Fonrth of July In New York City In tbe
Year
The Fourth of July, 1789, was one
which the New York citizens of
that time long remembered. Geo.
Washington was then residing in
the city, having been inaugurated a
few mon ths previous. The Society
of the Cincinnati, at its dinner that
day in the City tavern, elected Bar
on Steuben president for the com
ing year, and he was delegated to
bear the congratulations of the so
ciety to the president.
George Washington at that time
was recovering from a slight illness
and was unable to leave his house.
In return to the message from the
Cincinnati George Washington ten
dered the following reply , I beg
you, gentlemen, to return my most
affectionate regard to the Society of
the Cincinnati of the state of New
York, and to assure them that I re
ceive their congratulations on this
auspicious day with a mind con
stantly anxious for the honor and
welfare of our country and can only
say that the force of my abilities,
aided by an integrity of heart, shall
be studiously pointed to the support
of its dignity and the promotion of
its prosperity and happiness."
The patriotic and thanksgiving
services on that day wore held in
St. Paul's church, and Alexander
Ha;nilton delivered the chief ad
dress of the day. Mrs. Martha'
Washington attended these exercis
es with Vice President Adams, the
ladies of his family and many mem
bers of the senate and house of re
presentatives. Exchange.
OLD GLORY'S SIGNIFICANCE..
It Irt the Symbol of Lew and Liberty and
Will Wave While Empires Peri.h.
Our ensign was never known as
Old Glory until after it had been
baptized in the tears, love and blood
of tho great rebellion. It is the
symbol of life, law and liberty, of
government, protection, right and
righteousnass in short, of true
Americanism, first and forever. It
means progress in government.edu
cutiou, justice, morality and peace.
It celebrates mental and moral vic
tories no less signiicant than those
triumphs of shot and shell. In ori
gin and history it is closely identi
fied with woman. Her hand fash
ioned it because hor heart loved it,
and on more than one occasion she
has been ready to defend it, as Mrs.
Day, Parson Brownlow's daughter,
Barbara Fritchio and many other
noble women have attested.
We have had great leaders, but we
ha ve also had a great fiug. It ex
presses all that is noblest in self sa
criiic, greatest in heroism, sweetest
in liberty and most inspiring in hope
It went up never to oonie down. It
will continue to wave when thrones
perish and tyranny, ignorance and
superstition are no more. Rev. J,
