Accident in A Coal Mine

CHICAGO, Oct .
A horrible accident occu rcd at the G RI
ner Coal Mine. at Gardner, Iii last even
ing At about eight o clock as four per
sons were descending the coal shaft the
wire hoisting the rope broke, and the men
fell with the cage upon which they we're
standing distance OF $50 feet, to the bot
tom of the shaft. Great excitement pre-
vailed among the miners aud citlzy MS of
the town. As soon as the fact became
known immediate steps were taken to de-
scend the shalt to the reief of the suffer-
crs. After repairs were made the other
cage was lowered aud the manged men
were brought up. strange to say, none
were killed outright, though all had bones
broken. One, a lad of about fifteen years,
has since died, and two others are suppos-
ed to be beyond recovery. Edward Sutton,
an engineer, was one of The suffers, and is
supposed to be the least injured. His
mind is unimpared, aud he describes his
feelings when making the terrific descent
to. as he supposed, certain death. No
satisfactory theory has yet been advanced
for the cause of the accident.

Stealing by our State Officers.

We extract the following from the colums
of the Madison Democrat, of last Friday,
the truth Of which is vouched for by respons.
ible parties. We are also promised more
detailed statement Of the Mistake" which
we will give our readers next week. If our
Republican friends know that their party
leaders are dishonest, will they continue
to support them We will see.
The Republican papers charged upon
State Treasurer Smith, that he had taken
ofright been paid into the State treasury.
This exposition, well founded as it proved
10 be, was made tor purpose-not to
correct an abuse. Not to bring back to
the treasur, the puroincd moneys, but to
prevent the nomination of man for goy>
ernor, not preferred by the regency
These disclosures, from Republican sources,
had the effects to defeat MIR. Smith, in
convention but it went further and showed
TO the people that other state officers had
been guilty of like abuses of confidence,
and that the State treasury had been thus
robbed of some fifty thousand dollars i
While this exposition was still fresh in
the pubic mind and the oppressed, lm-
poverished, and tax ridden are beginning
to comprehend how it is that State off GERS,
or small salaries, can live high, buy and
furnish fashionable residences, own exten
sive farms and sport fancy stocks, there
oozes out, through the divisions aud jeal
ou>ics of the plunderers, and damaging
evidence of the corruption which, it IS
safe to charge, pervades every depart
ment of the State govt rnment -
1t is now charged, and we challenge
denial on the part of the State officers,
that there IS n dcfuicntion an the insurance
per ceHtage fund of from $4,000 to 5000,
and hat it has been known to exist, and
been hidden from public view, purposely,
uatll, forced over by the over reaching
course which has given one selfish and cor
Tupt. This sum ought to be in the treas
ury to-day-it IS no. there This is no
groundless charge, uttered for parry pnr
poses, but it is truth, sustained by facts
and figures, and we call upon Gov Fair
child, secretary Allen. treasurer Smith, and
attorney general Gill, to say publicly
whether or net the accusation is well
founded. Let the people hear from these

Some one stated in the last Republican
State convention, that there were 20, 600
Scandinavian voters in the State, and that
not more than one hundred of them voted
the Democratic ticket but hat the NJ ton
aity had stood 10y the Republican party
through good and evil repute, under all
circumstances, and always voted that tick
ct in one solid pha' 'anx, The speaker, who-
ever he was, at the conclusion of his re-
marks ssked the convention to expr ,ss
their thanks for that vote, by placing on
the ticket Mr. Holman, a Norwegian, who
was in every way well qualified for the Of
fee he asked, aud was a good loyal Re-
publican aud had with his co6htrymen
toiied and eweat all his American life for
the Republican party, and bad believed
what the leaders Of the party told him to
belle ve-had believed, aud taught his
countrymen to believe, that the Democratic
party were one solid masI of treason and
corruotion and poison. He now came be-
fore the convention of his masters, and
holding in his hand carpet-sack labeled
$40 900 loyal votes" meekly rendering the
same 10 the party, and begging only
simple thank you sir" from the conven
tion. What wassthe result? The carpet
bag was taken by the grand native Ameri
can Waldo, who quietly passed the check
there for to his friend W Wheeler, of Fond
du Lac, saying to Mr.. Norwegian, that he
hoped that he would pardon Mr. Wheeler
for his grave offense of being born in
America. 1t was amusing then to Zee the
whipped Holman, the presumptive Nor
Segiau, try to cipher out the Yankee trick
that had been played on him and his coun-
trynen. In vaiR he swore and threatened
aud begged He was only met by the
sweet smile Of his Yankee friends, who
told him what he knew enough to know to
be true, that the Norwegian vote was al
ready safe for this election That the
honest slow thinking Norwegians who done
the voting, would not realize that they mad

SO unanimously ana unexpa ctedly conferred
upon me by the late democratic state con-
,ention. regret the necessity of this step,
and would gladly have avoided il by in
structlons to friendly delegates had | sup
posed my H3me would have been brought
bctore the convention for any office | beg
leave to state that my declination is not the
result of any feeling arising out OF the &C
tlOn oil the convention, nor o. any abate-
ment OF my convictions that tffe democra attic
party furnishes the only means by which
the unjust dlscrlmua tlons In favor of cap

government distributed equally between the
rich and the poor according to thelF me ans.
and return to an economical pure and
