more congenial element shall seek
their support. That the leaders of
the Democratic party are seeking to
utilize this disafected vote for selfish
ends, is apparent, from their &C.
tons in the nominations that were
made in our State last Fall, every
prominent nomination was given to
and accepted by strong partisans;
their. reformatory meaus and men
eliminated in a defeat as it always
will when set up as straight Democ-
racy. If this party are DESTROYS of a
change in the affairs Of the State,
let them "cut bait" while the others
fish, at least part Of the time. The
makers of Office holders are hard at
work forging out candidates, good
ly array is on exhibition, but the
man that runs in opposition to the
straight Republican nomination,
must come from the people; no man
whose antecedants are in any man.
ner interviewer with the old Demo-
cratic party can control any respec-
table number of votes from the dis
affected Republicans or true reform
ers of any class. They remind one
Of the Yankee and Indian who after
hunting a given time, were to divide
the spoils equally; on reaching the
place Of rendezvous they found that
the game summed up one Turkey
and one Buzzard, how to make an
equal division was the perplexlng
question; at last the Yankee sud-
denly exclaimed that he was ready
to solve the problem, and turning to
the Indian says "Ill' take the zur-
key, and you take the Buzzard or
"you may take the Buzzard and" I'll"
take Turkey. This is just what the
Democratic leaders are doing to-day,
they want the vote Of "Anti-Monop-
olists, and all who wish for reform, :"
but they never say Turkey" once
to them; this selfish and miserable
policy will strangle the "ghost," and
they will forever sink from sight.
If all the opposing elements of the
Republican party as it is now man.
aged and controlled, could unite on
some good and true man, who has
the vital interests of the producing
class at heart, and Of Republican an
tecedants, there might be a change
affected in our State administration
and policy; without this union a
change is simply impossible. This is
equally true i'm regard to our nation
al affairs, and the idea that the De-
mocracy, alone can elect Presi-
dent in '76, is simply absurd. The
same is true of Anti-Monopolists or
any other faction, there must be
combination to insure success, there
must be give and take" Everything
contraband Of good feeling must be
shook off, and a generous respect
shown for all. Could a union of.
this kind be brought about under
the leadership Of such man as Sen
ator Booth Of California, for Presi-
dent, the battle would undoubtedly
eliminate in victory; and be grand
triumph of labor in all its forms, over
capital and monopolies.

MES THE "HERALD" STORY.
The trial OF Mr.. Beecher is on tho verge of
its ending. When the Court opened yesterday
the first proceeding was Judge Nelson's refusal
to reopen the case on the a1iiavits Of further
evidence, which had been submitted by the
counsel for the plaintiff. These affdavits werc
simply formal presentation of tho statements
Of Leys, the druggist who processes to have
sold Mr.. Beccher poison, and Loeder and Price,
tho two men who allege that they dscov-
cred Beecher and Mrs. Tlton under circum-
stanees that tantifad to ppdtinass rh'. Judge
seems not to have considered this "evidence"
sufficient to warrant further delay in giving the
case to the jury. Judge Nelson then delivered
a lengthy charge to the jury dealing with its
responsibility and the bearings in law of the
testimony on which the verdict must be made
up. The Jurors retired about / o'clock, and
not succeeding in finding verdict during the
day, were locked up during the night. An i'll
tense excitement prevailed, both parties to the
suit and their friends waiting anxlously and ca
gerly for tho decision of the twelve men on
whom such vast conting' ncies for each are de-
pending. There is published to-day an affidavit
from Mrs. Titon, in which she strenuously de-
MES the Price and Loeder story, and once moro
gives the lie to the whole scandal.

into a conspiracy to reform him, They made u

Then a question was concocteu lor ,he ucca-

he evacuated Trenton. The professor raised

1884 and at the time Of his DEATH Presiding
Elder Dover district.
While he stationed at Germantown, Mr..
kenncy received his first stroke of paralysis,
which have since continued at intervals, his
whole system the meanwhile being sluggish.
This accounts for his supernumorary relation IN
1866. An carly rallying from the effects Of it
enabled him to re-enter the ministry the follow
ing year. Prior to the division OF
the Philadelphia Conference, MIR. Kenney
was for the most part stationed in the northern
part of the old conference, but in the division
lie came TO this conference and has since re-
maincd He represented the Conference in
the General Conference at its last session. and
had previously been member of that body, at
one time its secretary, and with his own hand,
being fine penman, wrote out and copied for
publication every word of the minutes Of the
session.
Mr.. Kenney was man of scholarly attain
ments, and even up to the time OF his death
WAS thoroughly devoted to mental culture. He
was pleasing and eloquent speaker, and Bish-
op Scott once remarked OF him while young in
the ministry, that il ho were directed to procure
model orator from tho West he should select
Dr. kenney. He regarded him at that time
man of superior force of intellect. He was
among the most able in the Wilmington Confer
ence and one to whom tho Conference frequent
ly looked for counsel.

succession, but the names of Revs DIR. Matlach,

DAMAGE GREATER THAN REPoRTED-DEAD BODIES

PARIS June 20.
The damage to property, and the loss OF life,
by the flood in the River Garonne is greater than
previous reports have indicated. At Tolouse
alone tho bodies of 100 persons, who we're drown
ed, were found in houses which were flooded,
but left standing. Many other people perished,
and their bodies were carried Off in houses that
were swept away.
