Of the eleven delegates at large,

GOES OCT TO BRYAN".
Fairbury, ?11, Joly 17.-C. A.
Windle, the nominee for lieutenant
governor on the Prohibition ticket,
has forwarded his resignation to
Chairman Geo. W. Gere and de
dared his intention to support Bryan
for President.
TAMMANY FOR BRYAN.
Nsw YORK, July 17.-The general
committee of Tammany hall of the
thirty-fifth assembly district held a
meeting to-night for the purpose of
hearing a report from their two dele?
gates to Chicago, Henry D Purroy
and Senator Charles L Guy. After I
a number of speeches had been de?
livered the meeting developed into a
Bryan ratification meeting Mr Pur?
roy, in the course of his remarks, said
that the recent convention at Chicago
was duly elected in response to the
regular and timely call of the Demo?
cratic committee, and that it was un?
usually representative of the wishes
of the united Democracy of the sev?
eral States was proved by the fact
that in it there were fewer contests
for seats than in any other similar
body than in the whole history of the
Democratic party.
"No one leader or set of leaders
'bossed* its councils/* he said, "or
nominated its candidates, either in
secret or in public, and when in thun?
der tones it finally pronounced its
choice for President that choice was
beyond all cavil, the free, spontane?
ous, deliberate decision of more than
three-fourths of all the Democracy of
the United States.*
When Mr. Purroy condoned Sen?
ator Guy was introduced. The Sen?
ator declared that the Chicago plat
form was more thoroughly believed in
by tbe men who made it than any
other platform ever adopted. He said
when bitter criticism passed by all
would 6ay it was a good enough plat?
form to stand on, and on which to
elect Wm. J Bryan. He closed by
denouncing McKinley, praising Bry?
an and pledging his support to the
ticket.
Resolutions were then adopted
pledging to the nominees of the Chi?
cago convention the unwavering sup
port of the Tammany hall general I
committee of the thirty-fifth assembly
district.
Bradstreet's Blue.
NEW YORK, July 17.-Bradstreet's
to-morrow will say : Nearly all gen?
eral merchandise markets continue
dull and the volume of business is
smaller than anticipated. Little or
no disposition is shown to engage in
new enterprises, both city and coun
try merchants continuing to purchase
with more than usual conservatism in
view of the unsettled financial out?
look and the low range of prices.
Bank clearings amount to $955,000,
000 for the week, 3 per cent, less
than last week. This is a decrease
from the corresponding total in July,
1895, of 7 per cent. The more im?
portant decreases io prices for staples
this week are for i roo, steel, petro?
leum, cotton, iard and coffee. The
total number of business failures in
the United States this week shows an
unexpected increase-225 compared
with 219 last week. When contrast?
ed with the corresponding week in
1895 the increase during the past six
business days is 41.
Stock speculation in New York is
dull and prices are slightly better
after extensive liquidation and bear
selling. The redaction of the treas?
ury gold reserve by specie, exports
and gold hoarding to below $95,000,
000 was effective in creating the de?
cline. Among more favorable feat?
ures a relatively encouraging report
concerning trade at nine busines cen?
tres, together with an improvement
in quotations for wheat, Indian corn,
oats and pork, and firm or unchanged
prices for wool, sugar, lumber, leather
and print cloths. Baltimore reports
various jobbing lines doing well, but
(as at St. Paul) with a tendency to
defer placing orders until after the
election. Chicago and St. Louis agree
that sales for fall delivery will not
equal the record for 1895.
Rains have improved crop pros?
pects in Washington. The week has
been marked at San Francisco by the
ture of a train load of fruit for
i _
London a cargo of wheat for Aus?
tralia and two ships loaded with lum
! ber for Europe. Crop prospects in
j Louisiana and in Texas have im
I proved, particularly with reference to
j cotton, and country merchants are
I reported encouraged Sales of dry
goods and notions at Atlanta are
about an average, of shoes heavier
than in 1895, and the distribution of
groceries more active.
The Cleanest Place in the
World
Editor Bacon, in Edgefield Chronicle.
For many years we have been look?
ing: for the cleanest place in the world ;
and at last have fouod it. it is the
house and horne of Mr and Mrs. Paul
Hutto, in Chinquepin Township, Lex?
ington County, South Carolina, three
and a half miles from Leesville. It
is a beautiful farm house-a capa?
cious dwelling house, with all neces?
sary outhouses, barns, stables and
shops-with grapes and apples and
, plums and peaches and jessamines and
roses and geraniums and fuschias.
The farm is a model one. The
stock is fine. The home raised-colts
are magnificent. The bee hives
stand and the bees work under com?
fortable ?helter And the sweet pota?
toes slumber in their banks under a
long low roof. The honey very far
surpasses anything we have ever seen
or heard of. There could not be any
finer in beaven. Tbescuppernong vine
runs over two or three aereas, and un?
derneath it, the ground is as clean as a
lady's parlor. The floor of the smoke
j house is always thoroughly damp with
the rich drppings from the fat
bacon and home-cured hams above,
while whole regiments of can?
oed goods stand ever on dress
parade. Throughout the mansion
and throughout the great white
sanded yard around it, you
could not, if your life depended upoo i
it, find a grain of dirt or litter as big
as the smallest mustard seed. And
what is the secret of ali this wonder?
ful and adorable cleanliness ? It is
that no negro is in evidence. There
is no negro "in it." In the farm .as
well as in the orchard, vineyard and
apiary, Mr. and Mrs Hutto and their
handsome, refined and weil educated
children reign supreme. There is no
negro to generate and pile up dirt.
We spent a night with Mr. and Mrs.
Hatto, and we actually could not
sleep for the cleanliness. It aotually
frightened us. And as we played on
the beautiful organ io the parlor, we
feared every moment that Mrs. Hutto
would come in with a small tub and
a large hempen cloth and soour us.
Wc were in company with Mr. John
Lake, and we had traveled from Mt.
Ebal church. We both needed scour?
ing. For years past, we have been
realizing what a blessed thing it
would be if Southern white people
would learn to do their own work.
Then sometimes at least,, we would
be able to compass perfect cleanliness.
We are going back to see Mr. and
Mrs. Hutto when scouppernongs are
ripe, but before we go we are going
to have ourselves cleaned with whit?
ing, as you clean silver, and rub?
bed off with a flannel rag and a nail
brush.
Considering Arbitration.
London. July 17.-In the bouse of
Lords today, Lord Salisbury laid upon
the table of that body the papers re?
lating to the boundary dispute between
Great Britian and Venezuela. Lord
Salisbury, in presenting the documents
said the negotiations between Great
Britain and the United States in regard
to the Veuezueia matter were still in
progress. The goverment be added,
did not believe that the claim made by
Venezuela was a suitable subject for ar?
bitration, but when the facts in the case
as regarding the past history of Vene?
zuela were fully obtained, be thought
that the diplomatic question involved
could be easily adjusted.
Lord Salisbury stated that concur?
rently with the negotiations whioh were
in progress with the United States in
regard to the dispute between Great
Britain and Venezuela, negotiations
were also going on between the British
and American governments contem?
plating the establishment of a scheme
of general arbitration of questions which
might arise between the two nations.
This, however, he said, was a matter
whioh required great care and circum?
spection.

"Did you see anything of a pockt
book that I dropped somewhere in the
bedroom I occupied last night, land?
lord?" .? Any money in it ?" "About
$500." '*Yes, sir. Here is your
pocket-book, with the money. The
maid was honest enough io bring it to
me and I locked it up in the safe."
"Ab, very correct proceeding-very.
I bad intended placing the money in a
savings back this morning, where it
would have been drawing 4 per cent.
As a reward for your honesty I will say
nothing about the interest for the time
it has been in your possession and you
can make it square with the chamber?
maid. There is nothing small about
me when I run across a man who seems
to be trying to do what's right."
