Evening News: 11m editor of the

almost every queetion of ißi]«>rtnncc
that comes up. Him view* on the
manner in which I’reri'lent (hvelarid
ha* con<lurf«xl hi» little love affair are
in cotMonnnce w ith those of the Even
ing News. and ns aucli wc reproduce
them. Os course the editor* who for
reason of their own Imfe Grover
Ulevelsnil could not allow him to he
married without lining the occasion of
hin wedding for foolmh and malignant
aannultn against him.
Tothis time it in charged (1) that
having the wedding at. the White
Houae inntxrvl of the bride a homo
waa a violation of entablinlied cuntoni
and propriety; (2) that neglect to
invite the diplomatic corp* waa an
insult to the co nines lepiem iitcl at
Washington and a breech of interim
tional •tlnpietlo; (3) that the failure
to invito the former friend* of the
bride and groom and the leader* of
Washington society wan bad manner*
and indicative of a haughty anil
aristocratic spirit
All these criticisms are bawd on
the assumption that Mina Folsom waa
married to the United Staten The
truth in, her husband is Grover Clove
land, a citizen who is now performing
certain duties in response to the call
of his fellow citizens and who will
cease to perform those duties at the
eud of two or six years from now and
again liecome a private citizen. His
SWire* i»i.* of a wife and the manner,
time and place .of his marriage are hin
own jiersoncl business with which the
country han no more to do than with
the condition of Ins account in bank.
Hs owes just the respect to the
morals, opinions and feelings of others
due any other citizen.
In the first place Miss Folsom did
not leave her home to go to Washing
ton to be m irried. She had just come
from a long tour in Europe, ami for
all wo know who had no home she
can call her own. However that may
he, she is not tliu first young lady
forced by circumstances to lie wedded
away from her home, and surely any
American woman who has the op
portunity might ba properly and
naturally ambitious to be the first to
lie married to a President in the ex
•ecutive mansion. Such an event gives
her a distinctive ami enduring place
in the history of the country
Suppose that invitations hud been
vxtendod beyond the member* of the
babinet and into the ranks of Washing
ton society and the friends of the
bride and groom. Where could the
line have been drawn ? What power
Could have pi evented the occasion
from being degraded by a crushing,
curious, perspiring mob of well
dressed and uncomfortable people ?
Was not ths simple, perfectly managed
and dignified ceremony with out
crowding, discomfort or excitement,
the best that ingenuity ami g<s>d taste
eeuld have devised, alike democratic
and refined ? Is not the announced
determination to have public recep
tions al which the diplomats will be
formally received and mtioduced to
the lady of the White II ouse more in
accord with the spirit of our insti
tutions than an attempt to make the
•redding a diplomatic event would
bays been?
It is interesting to consider these
things and understand the foolishness,
recklessness and vulgarity of the
aneiuitsi of the President and his
policy and methods

Nashville American, of Sunday
The Rev J A, Munday, of Georgia*
an evangd'ist of note will preach in
the First Baptist Church in this city
at 11 a. m, 4 p. m and Bp. m to day.
The afternoon service will be exclusi
vely for men, and. to use Mr. Mini
day's words the men will l>e handled
yrithout gloves. Tins s<: mon will be
a sensation, if certain indications are
not amiss Mr Munday preached at
the K> man Kendall temperance hid)
last night ami created a powerful im
pressing upon the hundred river men
who w«. re gathered there. Two gray
haired sinners, with both of whom the
preacher luul previously played poker,
profc-sxil conversion ami wept bitterly
at mi nioi v of their errors.
Mi Munday levs a history, a bona
fide history, such as that of Dixie
Williams, more sensational than
Dixie's, far more graphic than that of
Jones, for neither of these men ever
juggled in a circus or occupied the
noinlesciipt position of a “hiijm*.
Both of these things Mr Munday has
done, and he acted his palt like a
thoroughbred He easily discarded
the straight and narrow road, ami at
the ti nder age of 17 could stand pat
on a pair of deuces with the best of !
tin in, and was able to make a noble
living out of the sports of Tonnes- ,
see s capital city, whither he had ■
drifted He went to Isdianon in 1874 :
with Wooten and Andrews' circus, i
ami there left the mammoth combinn- |
tion because the manager did not pay
him. He loafed around Ix-banon
several weeks, as ho says, drinking |
mean whisky ami playing good cards, ]
ami then came here, where he saw |
the town by gaslight.
From Nashville he went to a jsiint .
mini Atlanta, where he was awaiting '
a variety troup with which he had an
engagement, when ho accidentally ■
went ton Baptist Church and was'
converted He joined that church'
ami has since Isien connected with it. J
He tisik part m the evangelical labors
nt St. James Hull, in Atlanta, mid Ims
done a vast amount of service as an
evangelist since that time He has
held pastorates nt Jackson and Pal
metto, <in , and severed his connec-|
tion with the the church nt the latter !
point two months ago to enter the ■
field of evangelism, lie isthirty years
old. straight ns an arrow, and realy a
fine looking athrletic fellow. He is a ’
widower with two voting children.
Heisjust from Columbia, where he
created great excitement by his sermon
to men Hu will doubtless, go to '
Amusement Hall before ho leaves
Nashville, as the church is not large
enough to hold the crowds he will
draw.
