The wawaaset plaaatsr.

The Steamer Wawasset, running
on the Potomac, caught FIRE on Fri.
day last, about IL o'clock, when near
Chatterton Landing, and was burned
to the waters edge. The fire
had evidently been smouldering in
the hold, and when the fire broke
out, the flames spread with fearful
rapidity. So great was the panic
that although there were 500 life
preservers on board, but two of them
were known to have been used. The
number of passengers registered was
III, and besides these about twenty
children. At first it was thought
there were not over 40 persons lost
but up till Sunday ffty-six bodies
had been recovered, and it was
thought the total loss will reach
seventy. The following statements
are made by fhe captain and Pilot.
Capt. Wood, of the WaWasset.

it would be the safest point. All
that could possibly get forward did
so; some were so badly frightened
that they jumped overheard, and
many were frantic with fear Before

The Democracy have entered the
field and flung 10 the breez their ban
ner, on which is inscribed Allen and
Burns. Allen is an old man, and
has been retired from politics for
about thirty years, but was at one
time regarded as the strong man of
Ohio. He was noted free trader,
and is undeniably the same in prin-
eiple today that he was when he
held a place in the United States
Senate. No doubt he will endeavor
to impart some enthusiasm to the
Democracy, but whether he will sue
ceed in making a strong fight re-
mains to be seen. The fact that
Thurman is the recognized candidate
for the U. S. Senate, and that he win
be unsparing of his means to be re-
turned to that body, may aid in Civ
ing Allen strength before the people
and in getting out a much larger
Democratic vote than under ordin-
ary circumstances could be done.
In this view it ill-becomes the Re-
publican, of Ohio to count too con
confidently on an easy victory.
They should prepare for the cam
paign as though they knew they had
a stubborn and active foe to meet,
and by a thorough organization,
make sure work.

TIC CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
adjourned on the Sth, to meet in
Cincinnati Dec. ID. Its labors are
not more than half completed, and
the prospects of session of equal
length with the Legislature are fat
teringly good. OF the 2O5 PROPOSE
tions to amend the Constitution,
many we're upon the same subject
matter, and have been disposed ofin
committees, and reduced to the pro-
positions which the committees have
reported. All the committees have
reported except those on Corpora
tions other than Municipal, Traffic
in Intoxicating Liquors, and Agri-
culture. But three propositions
have been definitely adopted by the
Convention-one relating to the Ex-
ecutive Department, one relating to
public institutions and one amend
ing Sections 4 and 5 in regard to eli
gibility to office, and possibly the
first two of these may be changed.
The article in relation to the Judi
clary has not been defnately acted
upon, although much of the time of
the Convention was spent upon it,
80 that evidently the great proper
tion Of the work remains to be done
at the adjourned session, which will
be lengthy.

in the Credit Mobilier performance

lences all the fine talk about Sir
Hugh Aliens innocence by showing
that he holds at this m3ment, the
very checks sent to Sir Hugh, bear

money that they represented. He
brings forth uncontestable evidence
of the bribery of Sir Francis Hincks
and the Attorney General, proves
the completely of the government in
the arrangement between Sir Hugh
Allen and Sir George Cartier, and
shows that the payment of $4,000
to Macdonald was well known and
winked at by the Canadian officials.
The official thieves of Her Msjesty's
dominion had better let up on Mac
Mullen. Like a shrewd business
man he kept an accurate book ac-
count with his stool pigeons, pre-
served checks, drafts and other doc
uments, and prepared himself to
make the fur fly when occasion
should require. And the occasion
seems likely TO come.

BILL ALLEN, the worthy nominee
Of the Bourbons, was the author of
the story that the ladies of Chilli
cOthe presented a red petticoat to
Gen Harrison, for cowardice. But
the story exploded, and Allen was

''Petticoat Allen" As liar he was
a marvel, and no one attempted to
compete with him"

How The Democracy are Divided.
The following is the testimony of
the New York World to the Free
Trade principles of the Democratic
candidate for Governor:
The nomination Of Jfr. Allen is an
unequicocdJ declaration IN fa0or of
the Democratic doctrine of Free
Trade. This is a subject on which
he never occupied an equivocal po-
sition. He was a leading member
of the Senate in l846, when the Free
Trade Tariff of that year was passed.
In every vote at every stage of that
warmly contested and finally victori-
Gus Free Trade battle, the name of
Mr.. Allen stands first upon the re-
cord on the Free Trade side. The
Senate was twice brought to a tie,
and Mr. Allen co-operated actively
in bringing on the coercion of party
discipline to bear on PennsylYania
Vice President Dallas, and the Free
Trade Tariff was twice saved by his
casting vote. In another debate Mr..
Allen evinced the strength of MS
Free Trade. convictions by incident
al remarks which showed how easily
that topic rose to the uppermost
place in his thoughts. When. for
example, executive patronage was
debated on one OCCASION, Mr.. Allen
contended that the fourteen thou
sand psstmasters whose average sal
aries were only $73 per annum were
not alarming. at was not such pat
ronage as that" said he, chat was
dangerous. 1t S0aS such patronage
as that Of tie United States BGak-
OF THE TARIFF-achich corrupted
millions and robbed the rest" 1t is

better than set arguments that ex-
hibit the ferYor and staunchness of |
Mr.. Allen on tie Free Trade ques-
tion.
We congratulate our brethren in
Ohio on their making this noble |
stand for genuine Democracy.
To this the PLAIN Dealer objects
and says:
"What authority is the New York
World in the premises? There is
the platform, and It's anti free trade.
But the Shield and Banner does
not agree with the PLAIN Dealer, and
let's out as follows:
"Free Trade and Farmers and
Mechanics Rights" is motto. too
that well befiUs our banner, and no
men will more heartily hold it aloft
than Allen and Burns"
And the Cincinnati Enquirer as
5ists the PLAIN Dealer to an under
standing of what the platform IS by
adding:
"Fully two thirds of the voters of
Ohio believe honestly and earnestly
hat the doctrine of Free Trade is
ne proper one Tor the American

Reporting Extraordinary.

Queer things happen in newspaper
offices. Recently brother journalist
in a suburban town, with fourishing
weekly on his hands, was obliged to
send young and inexperienced report
er to gathering where there was some
wine, many pretty women, and a song
or two. The reporter had some hour or
two in which to write up his account,
and he asked our editorial friend what
he would say about the music ooh, -
was the reply, "say Miss B sang with
tenderness, Miss G played with bril-
liancy, Mr.. X sang with fire, and some
thing of that sort, and make few CON-
PARSONS, you know" That reporter
was discharged the very next morning
A portion of his notice read as follows :
"Miss B sang very tenderly, as tender
as young spring lamb with mint sauce, 3"
etc.; Miss G played as brilliant as q
bunch of fire-crackers on a dark night,
or as brilliant as meteorie shower, -
ETC.: "Mr. X sang with so much fire
that it burned up three sheets of music,
and set the parlor curtains all ablaze.-
