Old-Time Elegance at Miss Rives’ ‘Wedding — Engagement of Miss Faust and Mr. Clapp Announced. Miss Gertrude Rives rode in the old-time stgte carriage, in the possession of her family for generations, to the old church near Cobham, Va., Saturday last, to be married to Mr. Allen Potts of Richmond. ‘There were ten bridesmaids, in white organ- die frocks, trimmed with accordeon plaiting, and wearing hats of the accordeon plaiting, and carrying bouquets of maidenhair fern tied with wide green ribbons. The maid of honor, Miss Daisy Landon Rives, sister of the bride, in mauve satin under white mous- seline de sole, wearing a Gainsborough hat and carrying white carnations, preceded the bride down the church aisle. The bride came in with her father, Col. Alfred L. Rives. Her dress was white satin, trimmed with mousseline de soie and lace, and worn with veil and orange blossoms. She carried a white prayer book. Among the brides- maids were Miss Lucille Fuller of this city. A wedding breakfast followed at Castle Hill, where the couple will spend their honeymoon. Mr. and Mrs. Wilham C. Whitney, after spending a week or ten days at their new country home on October mountain, went down to New York Friday last, where they will remain probably until election day. Mr. Whitney's thirty-four elk were brought on fror: Montana in good condition, and are now sporting in the new elk park, which is about a mile square. Mr. Whit- ney sent in his order for the elks over a year ago, and one man devoted most of his Ume for a year in securing them in the wilds of Montana. After getting them, he brought them over the mountains a hundred miles to the near- est railroad station. Many of the pitches were so steep that it took cight horses to draw one of the wagon cages containing them. Mr. Whitney is delighted with them. The man who came on with them says he “3 no reason why they should not flourish here as well as in their native mountain home. The engagement is aiinounced of Miss Virginia Randolph ust and Henry Mill- ard Clapp, son of Major William H. Clapp, United States arniy. Mrs. and Miss Hitchcock, widow and daugter of Commander Roswell D.

POLITICS IN MONTGOMERY. Meetings of Both Parties and the General Talk. Correspondence of The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., October 18, 1896. “Capt. McDonald spent @ portion of’ the day here yesterday, having made a canvass of Garrett, Allegany and Washington counties. His reports from these counties appear to be entirely satisfactory to him- self. So far as Frederick county is con- cerned he reports some little disaffection between the two wings of the party in that county, but these differences are in a fair wey of being healed. Capt. McDonald has no doubt of his election by an increased republican majority. Saturday evening last there was a large and enthusiastic gathering of republicans and democrats in the commodious ball rcom ‘of the hotel at Great Falls. Good music was rendered before the meeting by the Potomac Brass Band. Major Danie! O'Driscoll declared the issues of the cam- paign to be not simply a contest between free silver and si a money, but a battle royal for the integrity of the nation, the Prosperity of the people and the honor of the flag. He clearly showed that the real issues before the people are free silver and free trade, as advocated by the Bryan democracy, sound money and protec- ticn to Aterican industry, as declared for by the republicans, and by convincing logic showed that it is the duty of every patriot who leves his country and desires a return to the prosperity we enjoyed In 182 to xote the republican ticket on the 3d of November. Mr. Tom C. Noyes of Sligo fol- lowed Major O'Driscoll. Both speakers showed the necessity of electing a republi- can House of Representatives to support @ republican administration. At the con- clusion of the meeting the audience ad- Journed to the outside, where the band discoursed sweet music, and shout after shout went up for the two “Macks”—Mc- Kinley and McDonald. _ The democrats held an enthusiastic meet- ing at Olney Saturday evening. Stilsun Hutchins of Washington and State's At- torney Alexander Kilgour were the speak- ers. Olney district is noted as being the strongest republican district in the county, and the republicans claim that there can te no inroads made upon their vote. There appears to be a definite under- standing that the republicans will hold their own in this county, and while there may be some few free silver republi they will be outnumbered by life-iong d crats who will not support t ticket nominated at Chicugo, N° Populist Politics is raging here at white heat, and any man capable of being delivered of a speech is called upon. of registered voters have becn , a8 required by law, the work be- ing divided among the different offices of the county. The republicans claim that the new registration shows a net gain of 200 for their party, and that this vote will not be at the manipulation of the gentle- men who heretofore controlied the ballot boxes. rom the best information receivable is thought that Montgomery counts will give about 500 democratic majority, which will be easily overcome, republicans say, so far as the congressional fight is concerned, by the other counties of the district. ; ‘onsiderable dissatisfaction has been ex- hibited within the lust three days amons the independent democrats of this county who have heretofore been favorable to th. Bryan ticket, in the attitude of Senator Gorman, who has taken occasion to r men out of the party who do not his ideas. These men say that w are willing ile they to support Bryan they will not be put in the position " pale of Gorman demo- DIED. EY.
