Kewia ul Observer.
We notice tbat the IUlciRh corres
pondent of the Charlotte Observer has
gone intotho business of tellin" what the
Democratic party will Jo. An u news
gatherer Mr. Olds in very good, but he
is bardly authorised to speak for the
Democratic party. He says "the Demo
crats will st-nd no foolishness. They
will put out of tho convention all nieu
who favor that abomination, the St.
Louis platform. This is the thing to be
done. There will be uo indecision about
it, either."
We do not know whom Mr. Oldi
speaks for as far as we are advised or
have any information there is no purpose
to put any man wit of the State Con
vention because he favors the St. Louis
platform. That is the wildest sort of
nonsense. It would take a majority to
put a man out: and if a majority of the
convention shall be unfavorable to the
St. Louis platform, no possible harm cn
come from letting any who favor it
remain. If it should prove however that
those favorable to "the abominable plat
form" themselves had a majority, why
then the proceeding indicated by Mr.
Olds could not possibly be carried into
effect. In the one case it would be im
practicable; in tho other case a foolish
proceeding. Yv'e suppose Mr. Olds was
j'ist writing to make a paragraph. Wc
doubt if he has ever heard two men in
RaK-h express themselves to the effect
he indicates, and certaiuly he himself is
'' not authorized to say a word as to what
actro the Democratic party will take.
Ine province of the news gatherer is
to present facts. If there were any
b Xment in the direction indicated, that
W0 'a fact that would be news.
But a. as wc know there is no earthly
purpose that way, nor any disposition to
; question a delegate as to what he favors.
And if one or two persons had such
louglits, what cliencc would they have
, carryiuj; them Into effect at the con
vention? The whele idea is nonsense.

The man who called sarsaparilla a
fraud, had geod reason; for he got hold
of a worthless mixture at "reduced rates."
He changed his opinion, however, when
he began to take Ayer'a Sarsaparilla. It

JUDGE DANIEL.
CHIEF JCSTICK MEURIMOn's SPEECH IN
. RECEIVING HIS IMUTll.UT.
In receiving the portrait Chief Justice
Merriiiiuu said: The late Judge Daniel
was of a former generation but we know
Void tradition, history and the reports of
the decisions of this court that ha was n
man of surpassing ability and excellence,
possessed of extensive general informa
tion, a learned lawyer and a very able and
upright judge. He was continuously a
judge for about thirty two years, and
half that tiiui wis an influential and dis
tinguished member of this court. By
his talents, his great learning, bis indus
try, his integrity and digni'y of charac
ter, he contributed largely to its great
usefulness, influence and fame. His
judicial opinions are singularly strong,
clear, logical and practical. While they
afford evidence of the learning of their
author, they are . remarkable for their
intelligence and brevity. They briefly
and yet fully embody the law applicable
to the cases to which they belong.
They are models of point, strength
and conclusiveness. They are entirely
free from ostentatious display. They are
not encumbered and confused by multi-
plied citations of authorities, and yet they
cue wttn sumetent mimes sucn cases as
add to their strength. Many of his opin
ions by reason of their qualities of
siren :th and justic.i are of "themselves
authority. It must be readily allowed
that ho ranks among the ablest of the
judges who have becu members of this
court. One of his creat associates said
nfliim tl .Mil,., ,.,,! I,,,... ,,(' 1.,,;
an enquiring mind aud a memory uneoui
inonly tenacious, and he acquired and
retained a stock of varied and extensive
knowledge, aud especially became well
versed in the history and principles of
the law." He was without arrogan .e or
ostentation, even of his learning; had the
most unaffected and charming simplicity
and mildness of manners,nnd no other pur
posed office than to "execute justice and
maintain truth," and there he was patient
in hearing argument, laborious and calm
in investigation, candid and instructive
in consultation, and impartial and firm in
decision. We accept, and have much satis
faction, in accepting the portraitof him just
tendered to the court by his descendants.

sonal character, his learning and long
and useful official labors. The clerk will

HILL THE MAN.
EX CONGRESSMAN PERRY BELMONT
SAYS HE IS THE BEST AND SAFEST
MAN TO NOMINATE.
JV. Y. Jlnahl.
Mr. Perry Belmont sails to day in La
Tourainu for Havre. I asked him if he
intended to be absent from the Demo
cratic Natioual Convention at Chicago, to
which ho has been elected a delegate-
He replied :
"Certainly not. I am going to Fiance
to meet my mother and return with her
to New York early in June by the same
vessel in which I go to Havre."
To my inquiry in regard to hi3 prefer
ence among the candidates named for tho
nomination at Chicago, Mr. Belmont
promptly answered that his first choice is
Senator Hill, not only because the New
York democracy had so decidedly pro
nounced for him but because he Mr.
Belmont believed Senator Hill to be in
every way, the best and safest candidate.
"Do you really think Senator Hill will
bo nominated ?" I asked.
Mr. Belmont said that he did, and for
the reason that he is confident tho dele
gates from tho West and tho South will
give heed to the facts aud opinions which
tho New York delegation will not shriuk
to lay before them, as, indeed, that delega
tion is in duty bound to do in justice to
the democratic delegations from other
States.
THE FACTS.
What will be the character of those
facts and opinions ?"
"Chiefly the record of Mr. Cleveland's
inability when a candidate to cnli.-t the
full democratic vote of New Yurk," said
Mr. Belmont. "Nobody, at least no
democrat, doubts tho competency and
experience of Mr. Cleveland fitting him
to bo President, nor will auy New York
delegate at Chicago question the fitness
of Gorman, or Carlisle, or Gray, or
Palmer. It is not at all a question, us
between the candidates, of fitness, for
Hill, Cleveland, Gorman, Carlisle, Gray
and Palmer are each fit and compentent
to be President, but the real question is
what democrat can most surely carry
New York and with New York carry
New Jersey and Connecticut. There
will not bo at Chicago any occasion for
bad temper or ill feeling. Democratic
politicians in the South and West know
what a democratic organization in a State
means, and they will respect the meaning.
What the Chicago Convention has to do
is to nominate a candidate who can
preservo democratic control over the
Southern States, by a reasonable attitude
toward the Farmeis' Alliance, and can
carry tho four Northern States of New
York, Indiana, New Jersey and Connec
ticut. That is the problem. Indiana
will speak for itself, and New York,
having a tenth of the population of the
country, and nearly a tenth of all the
Presidential tlrctors, will answer for
itself."
FIGURES.
"But," I asked, "don't you really
believe, Mr. Belmont, that Cleveland can
carry New York next November?"
"You must find the answer in the
record of Mr, Cleveland's campaigns in
New York," replied Mr. Belmont. "In
1832, when Cleveland ran for Governor
aud Hill for Lieutenant Governor, the
former hud a plurality of l'J2,8.4, but
the latter had l!)u',7Sl. In 1884 Clevo
1 ? I 1.1. i
iuuu uau rrwiaenuai caaaiuato ouiy
1,047 plurality, while in 1S7U Tilden
had a plurality of 32,818, and in 18S5
Hill hud a plurality as Governor of 11,
134. And, more than that, in 1SS8,
uuder the most favorable possible condi
tions, Cleveland lost New York by 13,002
and Hill on the same day carried New
York by 19,171. I cannot discover
anything to justify me as a delegate to
toll any one at Chicago that Mr. Cleve
land will be even ns strong in New York
in November 1892, as he was in 1888
I may regret it, and do regret it, but
facts are not to be ignored, nud the re
sponsiU'ity of ueli ueieuate requires bim
to consider them. It is not tf much
I nvml In infill,
falling off in New York even since 1888,
but it may be said, and will be said, that
the unjust and unmeasured condemnation
by Mr. Cleveland's partisans of Semtor
Hill and Tammany Hall, tho New York
Legislature and the NeW York democratic
organization explains much of it. Every
democratic politician knows how the
democratic rank and file resent unmerited
abuse of their leaders who lead to success.
When the Tammany voters hear them
selves daily nrraigned by what are known
as the mugwump newspapers, and de
nounced as members of the semi-criminal
classes, they naturally resent it, and even
Mr. Croker cannot overcome or succeed
in allaying opposition to any candidate in
whose interests these attacks are made.
In my opinion one powerful reason why
Governor Hill has been so popular at the
ballot boxes since 1882 is that he has
been so unjustly vilified by republican
and mugwump newspapers."
"Do you mean to say," I asked, "that
mugwump support of a democratic can
didate drives away democratic voters in
New York and Kings counties?"
"I have uot the least doubt of it, undu
the present, conditions," answered Mr,
Belmont.
A JEALOUS DOC.
THE AFFECTION OF HUSBAND AND WIF:
TOO MUCH FOR JACK.
Lomhm Spectator.
That dogs are affectionate is universally
allowed, and that they arc jealous no
observer can doubt; but that a dog may
show true philosophy in accepting a bard
situation is occasionally proved.
A young man had for somo years
owned a dog which was his constant
companion. Recently, however, he
married, and moved with his wife and
dog into a house on the opposito side ef
the street from his father's house, his old

tried to reconcile him to the altered stato
of affairs, and the bride endeavqred to
win his affection, but ho constantly
showed his displeasure and misery.
One day the master came home and sat
down, putting his arm about his wife.
Jack was lying by the fire and he at once
roso aud approached the two, and made
the usual exhibition of his disapproval.
"Why, Jack," said his master, "this is
all right, bue is a good girl, and as he
spoke he patted his wife 8 arm.
Jack looked up at him, turned away
and left the room. In a moment thev
heard a noise, and going into the hall
found him dragging his bed down stairs,
He reached the froutdoor and whined to
be let out. The door was opened and he
dragged the bed down the steps and
across the street to his old home, where
he scratched for admittance. Since then
he has never returned to his master, and
has refused all overtures toward recon
ciliation.
CONSUMPTION CUKED.
An old physician, retired from prac
tice, having had placed in his hands by
an East India missionary the formula
of a simple vegetable remedy for th
speedy aud permanent cure of Consump
tion, Dronch'tis, Catarrh, Asthma an
all throat and Lung Affections, also
positive aud radical cure for Nervnn De
bility and all Nervous Cuinplaiuts, alter
having tested its wonderful curative pow
ers in thousand of cases, has felt it his
duty to uiako it known to his suffering
fellows. Actuated by this motive and a
desire to relieve human suffering, I will
