M Hon week than hot weather. St. Louis ,
H according to all reports , will furnish
better facilities than ever before have
HI been accorded to a National convention.
H The immense new auditorium , where
H the Republican National Convention
H • will he held , will accommodate 14,000.
M There will be S09 National delegates in
HI the convention this year more than
M ever before and the same number of
1 alternates. There will be 53 members
H of the National Committee present , and
HJ the rest of the vast audience will con-
M 6ist mainly of "rooters" for the several
HI candidates whose names' are to be pre-
HJ sen led for the highest honor in the
HI gift of the American people.
HI According to recent estimate , there
HJ • will be none too much room. It is
HJ customary to give to the city in which
HJ the convention is held , the largest
HJ block of seats. St. Louis will have
HJ more seats in the auditorium than any
HJ convention city ever obtained before.
Hi It has put m a modest request for
HJ 8,500 seats , and will probably receive
HJ 2,500 at least. Ohio and Iowa , being
HJ near by and both having prominent
HJ candidates , will probably send the two
HJ largest State Delegations. Ohio , it is
HJ estimated by zealous Republicans of
HJ the Buckeye state , may have as many
HJ as 20,000 Republicans in St. Louis , but ,
'
HJ of course , only a small per cent of them
HJ will get seats in the auditorium.
HJ Timothy E. Byrnes of Minneapolis ,
HJ who has been elected sergeant-at-arms
HJ of the convention by the National Com-
HJ mittee , will have charge of the distri-
HJ bution of tickets for admission. Each
HJ National delegate and alternate will re-
H ceive two tickets and a.s many more.
HJ as they can get. The member of the
HJ National Committee from each state
HJ will make out a list of all Republicans
HJ in his state who may want to attend
HJ the proceedings , and the tickets will be
HJ distributed among the different states ,
HJ pro rata. "Under the system of distri-
H bution which Sergeant-at-Arms Byrnes
HJ will employ it will be practically im-
HJ possible for the friends of any one can
didate to "pack" the convention hall ,
despite the fears of sueh an event which
have been expressed. Mr. Byrnes has
said that , so far as he has the power ,
the friends of all the candidates will be
treated alike.
The real work of the convention ,
leading up to and providing for the
selection of the National ticket , is
done id committee rooms. Spacious
'
accommodations for committee work
'w r have been provided in the auditorium ,
and the newspaper facilities will be es
pecially convenient.
A novel scheme is to be put in opera-
recognizing delegates who think they
have a duty to perform by claiming the
attention of the convention.
The telegraph facilities for dispatch
ing to every corner of the Nation the
names of the nominees will be ample.
Nine new copper wires are strung from
St. Louis to Chicago and six from Chicago
cage to New York. About fifty loops
will be run into the Auditorium.
Wearied delegates can repair for re
freshment to any number of gardens
and open-air restaurants and cafes ,
where the best that St. Louis can offer
will be placed before them at prices
that may make them complain. But
what is the loss of a few hundred dollars
lars to an enthusiastic Republican ,
fired with interest in his party's wel
fare , and perchance , in some instances ,
with irons of his own in the fire ?
Thomas H. Carter , of Montana , chair
man of the National Committee , will
call the convention to order. But im
portant work of the convention will
have been done by the National Com
mittee even before the delegates as
semble in their seats.
On the day preceding 1I13 convention
a temporary roll of delegates has to
be formed , for manifestly no State can
have the advantage of another in repre
sentation. Some states will send con
testing delegations , but oniy one set
can be seated. It would not be proper ,
on the other hand , to shut a state out
entirely because of contests. ISach must
have representation in the organiza
tion of the convention. General Clark-
son of the National Committee from
Iowa says there will be about 110 con-
71 c impcrancc of these decisions in
committee cannot he overestimated ,
for while they are > in no way binding
'upon the contention , the action of the
committee , based generally , 0:1 good
and sufficient grounds , is seldom over
turned.
The National Committee selects also
by a majority vote the temporary and
permanent chairman of the convention ;
that is to say , it selects a name for each
position , to be presented to the con
vention. A hitter contest may arise
within the National Committee over
these selections. Sometimes , as in
1892 , the minority may withdraw their
candidate , and make the selection of
. temporary chairman unanimous , as
they did for J. Sloat Fassett. Again ,
as in 1S84 , a majority and minority re
port may be presented and the fight
brought to a head in the opening of
the convention.
As the Democratic National Con
vention in 1S92 , after Mr. Cleveland's
friends , who controlled the Committee
on Resolutions , had prepared a tariff
plank under Mr. Cleveland's supervi
sion , the convention , which afterward
turned to and nominated Cleveland ,
broke away at one word from Henry
Watterson and rejected the tariff plank
as presented by the Cleveland commit
tee. No better example of the Ameri
can principle in politics that the sov
ereign will of the people must govern
is accorded than in a National , con
vention.
CONKLING STOPPED TO TALK.
That Incident I'rovuntetl Windom'i * Nom
ination for tlio Presidency.
From the Minneapolis Journal : In the
political history of the state "Windom
Ten" has been written down as a bur
lesque incident. When the campaign
for the republican nomination for
president in 1880 was in progress Min
nesota was an overwhelmingly en
thusiastic Blaine state. Senator Conk-
ling's daring ambition was to defeat
Blaine , and he was shrewd enough to
see that Minnesota could not be
swerved from Blaine save by springing
a "favorite son. " Mr. Windom was
flattered by Conkling's suggestion and
the poison spread to his friends , with
the result that Minnesota went to Chicago
cage solidly instructed for Windom. At
that time Minnesota only had ten dele
gates to the national convention , and
during the four days' balloting the
reading clerk would announce in 3ton-

tested seats out of the 909 , and that the
nomination.may really hinge upon the
results of these contests.
It should not be supposed that the
National Committee reserves to itself
the power to decide contests : that
must finally be done by the convention
itself. This much , however , the Na
tional Committee will do , and its ac
tion may have an important bearing
on the result in the convention the
National Committee will meet , and a
sub-committee on contests will he se
lected. Each member of the committee
will report to this sub-committee thp
list of delegates from his state , and if
there be no contests these names will
be placed on the temporary roll by the

lorian tones , "Windom , en , " and much
of the time the announcement would
provoke derisive laughter. Blaine 's
friends always felt that if Minnesota
had been loj-al he would have been the
nominee , and in their estimation "Win
dom. ten , " was a badge of tricky poli
tics. The delegation was undoubtedly
sincere , but it seemed at the time like
grasping for a willn'thewisp. .
I met an old volitician yesterday , an
intimate friend of Windom , who said
he called on Windom in Washington
some time after the event and Windon-
said to him , "Did you know I ciuu :
pretty near receiving the nominatior
for president' " The visitor conceded
that he did not understand how "Win
dom. ten. " was very near the goal , and
Mr. Windom then explained. Hesaid
Postmaster General James of New York
told him that the Grant forces had
decided to go to him and have the
credit of nominating the president ,
even though it was not first choice.
This was thought to be better than to
allow the Blaine forces to win a = emi-
victory in a similar manner. Mr. James
said that Conkling actually left his seat
to go over and notify the Minnesota
delegation that they were going for
Windom and urge them to do the rest ,
when someone halted him and advised
delaying one more ballot. He accepted
the advice. This was fatal. On that
one ballot the stampede to Garfield be
gan and then it was too late. If the
"Grant 306" had been added to "Win
dom , ten , " it would have carried the
stampede in the Windom instead of the
Garfield direction.
An Old Loaf.
The Soar family , of Ambaston ,
Derbyshire , England , have a curious
heirloom in the shape of a loaf of bread
that is now over six hundred years old.
The founders of the family , it appears ,
were great friends of King John. When
that monarch died he made several land '
grants to the Soars. One of these tracts ,
it appears , had always been conveyed
with a loaf of bread along with the "writ
ings , " and the deed and the loaf ore
both kept to this day as sacred relics.

TALMAGE'S SERMON.
"CONSOLATION IN TROUBLE"
LAST SUNDAY'S SUBJECT.
From the Subjoined Test : "And the Lord
Itroii' lit an Kast Wind Upon the Laud
nil That Day and all That Night"
Ex 10:30.
V.E reference hero
is not to a cyclone
but to the long-
continued blowing
j of the wind from
f an unhealt h f u 1
quarter. The north
wind is bracing ,
the south wind is
relaxing , hut the
east wind is irri
tating and full o
threat. Eighteen times does the Bibb
speak against the East wind. Mose ;
describes the thin ears blasted by tin
east wind. The Psalmi3t describes th <
breaking of the ships of Tarshish ty
the east wind. The locusts that plaguei
Egypt were borne in on the east wind
The gourd that sheltered Jonah wa :
shattered by the east wind ; and in al
the Bix thousand summers , autumns
winters , springs , of the world's existence
tenco * the worst wind that ever blew
is the east wind. Now , if God wouk
only give us a climate of perpetua :
nor'wester , how genial and kind ant
placid and industrious Christians w
would all be ! But it takes almighty
grace to be what we ought to be undei
the east wind. Under the chilling and
wet wing of the east wind the most ol
the earth's villainies , frauds , outrages
suicides , and murders have been
hatched out. I think if you should
keep a meteorological history of the
days of the year , and put right beside
it the criminal record of the country ,
you would find that those v/ere the
best days for public morals which were
under the north or west wind , and that
those were the worst days for public
morals which were under the east wind.
The points of the compass have more
to do with the world's morals and the
church's piety than you have yet sus
pected. Rev. Dr. ArchibaldjUexander ,
eminent for learning and for consecra
tion , when asked by one of his stu
dents at Princeton whether he always
had full assurance of faith , replied ,
"Yes , except when the wind blows from
the east. " Dr. Francia , Dictator of
Paraguay , when the wind was from the
east , made oppressive enactments for
the people ; but when the weather
changed , repented him of the cruelties ,
repealed the enactments , and was in
good humor with all the world.
Before I overtake the main thought
of my subject , I want to tell Christian
people they ought to be observant of
climatical changes. Be on your guard
when the wind blows from the east.
There are certain styles of tempta
tions that you cannot endure under
certain styles of weather. When the
wind blows from the east , if you are
of a nervous temperament , go not
among exasperating people , try not 10
settle bad debts , do not try to settle
old disputes , do not talk with a bigot
on religion , do not go among those
people who delight in saying irritating
things , do not try to collect funds for a
charitable institution , do not try to
answer an insulting letter. If these
things must be done , do them when the
wind is from the north , or the south , or
the west , but not when the wind is
from the east.
You say that men and women ought
not to be so sensitive and nervous. I
admit it , but I am not talking about
what the world ought to be ; I am talk
ing about what the world is. While
there are persons whose disposition
does not seem to be affected by
changes in the atmosphere , nine out of
every ten are mightily played upon by
such influences. O Christian man !
under such circumstances do not write
hard things against yourself , do not
get worried about your fluctuating ex
perience. You are to remember that
the barometer in your soul is only
answering the barometer of the weath
er. Instead of sitting down and being
discouraged and saying : "I am not a
Christian because I don't feel exhila-
rant , " get up and look out of the win
dow and see the weather vane point
ing in the wrong quarter , and then say ,
"Get thee behind me , Satan , thou
prince of the power of the air ; get out
of my house ! get out of my heart , thou
demon of darkness horsed on the east
wind. Away ! " However good and
great you may be in the Christian life ,
your soul will never be independent of
physical condition. I feel I am utter
ing a most practical , useful truth here ,
one that may give relief to a great
many Christians who are worried and
despondent at times.
Dr. Rush , a monarch in medicine ,
after curing hundreds of cases of men
tal depression , himself fell sick and
lost his religious hope , and he would
not believe his pastor when the pastor
told him that his spiritual depression
was only a consequence of physical de
pression. Andrew Fuller , Thomas
Scott , William Cowper. Thomas Bos
ton , David Bralnerd , Philip Melanc-
then were mighty men of God , but all
of them illustrations of the fact that a
man's soul is not independent of his
physical health. An eminent physi
cian gave as his opinion that no man
jver died a greatly triumphant death
tvhose disease was below the dia
phragm. Stackhouse , the learned
Christian commentator , says he does
lot think Saul was insane when David
slaved the harp before him , but it was
1 hypochondria coming from inflamma-
: ion of the liver. Oh , how many good
Deople have been mistaken in regard to
: heir religious hope , not taking these
hings into consideration ! The Dean of
Carlisle , one of the best men that ever
lived , and one of the most useful , sat
down and wrote : "Though I have en
deavored to discharge my duty as wel
aa I could , yet sadness and mclanchol ;
of heart stick close by and Increase
upon me. I tell nobody , but I am ver ;
much sunk indeed , and I wish I coult
have the relief of weeping as I usei
to. My days are exceedingly dark am
distressing. In a word , Almighty Gof
seems to hide his face , and I intrus
the secret hardly to any earthly being
I know not what will become of mc
There is doubtless a good deal of bodll ;
aflliction mingled with this , but it i :
not all so. I bless God , however , tha
I never lose sight of the cross , ant
though I should die without seeing an :
personal interest in the Redeemer' !
merits. I hope that I shall be found a
his feet. I will thank you for a won
at your leisure. My door is bolted a
the time I am writing this , for I am ful
of tears. "
What was the matter with the Dear
of Carlisle ? Had he got to be a worst
man ? No. The physician said that tin
state of his pulse would not warranl
his living a minute. Oh , if the easl
wind affects the spleen , and affects tlw
lungs , and affects the liver , it will af
fect your immortal soul. Appealing tt
God for help , brace yourself againsl
these withering blasts and destroying
influences , lest that which the Psalmisl
said broke the ships of Tarshish , ship
wreck you.
But notice in my text that the Lord
controls the east wind : "The Lord
brought the east wind. " He bring ? ii
for especial purpose ; it must sometimes
blow from that quarter ; the past wind
is just as important as the north wind ,
or the south wind , or the west wind ,
but not so pleasant. Trial must come.
The text does not say you will escape
the cutting blast. Whoever did escape
it ? I was in the pulpit of John Wes
ley , in London , a pulpit where he stood
one day and said : "I have been
charged with all the crimes in .the cata
logue except one that of drunken
ness , " and a woman arose in the audi
ence and said : "John , you were drunk
last night. " So John Wesley passed
under the flail. I saw in a foreign
journal a report of one of George
Whiteiield's sermons a sermon
preached a hundred and twenty or
thirty years ago. It seemed that the
reporter stoccl to take the sermon , and
his chief idea was to caricature it ; and
these are some of the reportorial interlinings -
linings of the sermon of George White-
field. After calling him by a nick
name indicative of a physical defect in
the eye , it goes on to say : "Here the
preacher clasps his chin on the pulpit
cushion. Here he elevates his voice.
Here he lowers his voice. Holds his
arms extended. Bawls aloud. Stands
trembling. Makes a frightful face.
Turns up the whues of his eyes. Clasps
his hands behind him. Clasps his arms
around h n , and hugs himself. Roars
aloud. Hollas. Jumps. Cries. Changes
from crying. Hollas and jumps again. . "
Well , my brother , if that good man
went through all that process , in your
occupation , in your profession , in your
store , in your shop , at the bar , in the
sick room , in the editorial chair , some
where , you will have to go through a
similar process ; you cannot escape it.
* * if
When the French army went down
into Egypt under Napoleon , an en
gineer , in digging for a fortress , cam ?
across a tablet which has been called
the Rosetta stone. There were in
scriptions in three or four languages
on that Rosetta stone. Scholars study
ing out the alphabet of hieroglyphics
from that stone were enabled to read
ancient inscriptions on monuments and
on tombstones. Well , many of the
handwritings of God in our life arc in
decipherable hieroglyphics ; we cannot
understand them until we take up the
Rosetta stone of divine inspiration ,
and the explanation all comes out , and
the mysteries all vanish , and what was
before beyond our understanding now
is plain in its meaning , as we read ,
"All things work together for good to
those who love God. " So we decipher
the hieroglyphif-s. Oh , my friends !
have you ever calculated what trouble
did for David ? It made him the sacred
minstrel for all ages. What did trouble
do for Joseph ? Made him the keeper
of the corncribs of Egypt. What did
it do for Paul ? Made him the great
apostle to the Gentiles. What did it
do for Samuel Rutherford ? Made his
invalidism more illustrious than robust
health. What did it do for Richard
Baxter ? Gave him capacity to write of
"Saint's Everlasting Rest. " What did
it do for John Bunyan ? Showed him
the shining gates of the city. What
has it done for you ? Since the loss
of that child your spirit has been
purer. Since the loss of that prop
erty , you have foii.'l out that earth'y
investments are insecure. i'ncu ,
lost your health , you feel as never be
fore a rapt anticipation of eternal re
lease. Trouble has humbled 3'ou , has
enlarged you , has multiplied your re
sources , has equipped you , has loosened
your grasp from this world and tight
ened your grip on the next. Oh ! bless
God for the east wind. It has driven
you Into the harbor of God's sym
pathy.
Nothing like trouble to show us that
this world is an insufficient portion.
Hogarth was about done with life , and
he wanted to paint the end of all
things. He put on canvas a shattered
bottle ; a cracked bell ; an unstrung
harp ; a sign-i'oard of a tavern called
'The World's llnd" falling down ; a
shipwreck ; the horses of Phoebus ly
ing dead in the clouds ; the moon in her
last quarter , the world on fire. "One
thing more , " said Hogarth , "and my
picture is done. " Then he added the
broken palette of a painter. Then he
lied. But trouble , with hand might
ier and more skilful than Hogarth's ,
pictures the falling , failing , moulder- ]
ing , dying world. And we want some- j
Ihing permanent to lay hold of , and
J
we grasp with both lunda after God , ,
and say , "The Lord is my light , thu I
Lord Is my love , the Lord to my fortress - ;

Lord , the Lord is my God. " '
mess God for your trials ? . Oh , my \
Christian friend ! keep your spirits up /
by the power of Christ's Gospel. Do k
not surrender. Do ycu not know that 3
when you give up , others will give jg [ $ f
up ? You have coinage , and others will
have courage. The Romans went into
the battle , and by some accident thore' *
was an Inclination of the standard.
The standard upright meant forward
march ; the inclination of the standard
meant surrender. Through the negli
gence of the man v/ho carried the
standard , and the inclination of it , the
army surrendered. Oh ! lot us keep the
standard up , whether it bo blown down
by the cast wind , or the north wind ,
or the south wind. No inclination to
surrender. Forward into the conflict.
There is near Bombay a tree that
they call the "porrowing tree , " the pe

the music of the skies music that

91itthoir Arnold Criticises : i I' .rilllaut
Skoptlc. * HJ
We find a brilliant mathematician , H
Prof. Clifford , launching invectives , H
which , if they were just , would prove HI
either that no religion at all has any AH
right to mankind's regard or that the HI
Christian religion , at tH events , has HJ
none , says one of Matthew Arnold's HI
letters. He calls Christianity "that awful - H
ful plague which has destroyed two HH
civilizations and but baroiy failed to HJ
slay such promise of good as is now HJ
struggling to live among men. " He HH
warns his fellow-men against showing HH
any tenderness to "the s'endcr ' remnant HH
of a system which has madt- its red | H
mark on history and sMll liv * s to HJ
threaten mankind. " "The grotesque | HH
forms of its intellect ! : : ! 1 belief , " he HHJ
scornfully adds , by way cf finish , "have HB
survived the discredit of its moral HJ
teaching. " But these are merely the SHJ
crackling fireworks of youthful para- HB
dox. One reads it all , half-sighing , HJ
half-smiling , as the declamation of a BH
clever and confident youth , with the HH
hopeless inexperience , irredeemable by HH
anj' cleverness , of his age. IHJ
Only when one is young and head- RP !
strong can one thus prefer bravado to HhI
experience , can one stand by the Sea of HAV
Time , and , instead of listening to the HB
solemn and rhythmical beat of it3 H
waves , choose to fill the : ur with one's 9V

the mass of plain people it ar such talk HAV
with impatient indignation and flock j HJ
all the more eagerly to Messrs. Moody AHJ
and Sankey. They feel that the brilliant - H
liant free-thinker and revolutionist HH
talks about their religion and yet is all H
abroad in it do s not know either that M
or the great facts of human life and H
they go to those who knew them better. J H
And the plain people are not wrong. / Tfll
Compared with Prof. Clifford , Messrs. H
Moody and Sankey are masters of the H
philosophy of history. | |
Men are not mistaken in thinking M
that Christianity has done them good , VJ
in loving it , in wishing to listen to those H
who will talk to them about what they |
love and will talk of it with admiration aTl
and gratitude , not contempt and | H
hatred. Christianity is truly , as in
"Literature and Dogma" I have called |
it. "the greatest and happiest stroke M
aver yet made for human perfection. " |
Men do not err ; they are on firm ground M
