No man cr f.et of men do tbo thinking for tho party. Conventions Era called to get tho benefit of the aggregated wis-dora of the- entire' organization, and, when that is had everybody mast bow to its decree and support its men and itg policy of quit the party.

No ono yet can foresee what the party will do. Democrats ought at least to sup port what it doea as tbe best thing poasiblo, and, enter upon the canvass with enthusiastic confidence in the triumph, of democratic principles. Come, gentlemen, less rgotism, less quarrels, less efforts to play leader, and more zeal, more devotion, more work for the success of the great principles of the democratic patty which has always battled so bravely for the rights of the people. i Double-leaded editorials do tickle The FbogressIDemocbat nigh unto death. It caught on! to that paper's schema Thursday afternoon before the convention on Friday.

That paper emphasized tho Gorman capture when it tacitly endorsed the Nichol's store convention in an after issuer We are sick of thlfP "can't carry New York" 5wa.il of yours and Henry's.

The Chicago Democratic Convention will insert no free silver plank in its platform. It will nominate no avowed free eilvpr for the presidency.

JWpre it so foolish to so do, the candidate so nomi nated could carry neither, the electoral vote of New York, In-diana, Massachusetts, Connecticut or New Jersy." Free silver, cooked Governor Campbell's goose in Ohio and he was! a noble Roman; This is 189? not 19S0. Wake up from your Rip Van Winkle isleep. There is a reaction! against the free silver craze. We admire the worth of Senator Gorman. With us it is a question of size, lie ia abantam.

Tho' anti-Clovslad men tavi capitulated and accept th result with resignation, but they, are proud or tb.oir-bs.rJ fought battlo, in which they Fur-rendered only to the suparicr1 forces of overwheliniDg rar.l:::.

Grover "Cleveland has threo-fourths of tho twenty-six delegate to the national convention. i CALIFORNIA TOO. The California state convention met; at Fresco yeeterday, and the platform! adopted includes 'the fallowing: "We declare our conviction that the best interests of the party and the country demand the nomination of Grover Clevo-land as president. He isf the choice of this convention for that exalted station, and we are confident that under his leadership the principles of democracy will win a glorious victory." A The! great ex-president is gaining everyday. Gen.Fi'zhugh Lee says that Virginia democrats are strong for Cleveland, although the state, conventions of Virginia do not, as a rule instruct delegates', and will hot likely do so this year.

i i DECORATION DAY. Ceremonies At tbe City Cemetery Ibii Morning' A Touching Tribute To Will! HcCulIoch- Tho Attendnco Wi Largo and the Flowers Beautiful. The ceremonials "of decoration at the City Cemetery were most touchingly introduced this morning by' a tribute of J. Crusman to the memory of Willie McCulloch who sleeps in an unknown grave upon the; bills of Gettysburg. He touchingly portrayed the noble father surrendering his beardless boy toVth Confederacy.

Willie next appears as ready for service with an old musket, yea without musket he is ready for duty. Capt. Crusman introduced an incident of a quarrel over dangerous guard duty between Willie McCulloch and Dee Neblett that brings out the -manliness and heroism of these noble lads. for. snch they wore.

We follow our hero to the chivalrous charge on Cemetery Ridge at the battle of Gettysburg, where he fallB and his young heart's blood is poured out for his country's-glory. He dies "with his face to his God and his feet to the Grand our hearts be as Cold as death- can make! them before they cease to warm at the mention of his name or cherish the memory of his virtue." If this be treasor, make the most of it. Good women and noble men scattered lovely flowers over eyery unknown, grave in the grand old City Cemetery, and the prayer of the Alabama mother" was answered. LLj The. audience was dismissed with prayer by Comrade.

The attendance' was large, and the flowers plentif q1 and beautiful. We go to press too early for the afternoon ceremonials. jt HA3 COUSESTED CONDITIONALLY It Seerai to be Not Impossible Jhat Nr. BUIne WlS be nominated byHjfs Party. j.
