The Chicago papers BRING the details OF
the shocking accident IN that city on Wed
nesday, which resulted IN the instant death
of Miss Louise Hawthorne, the actress.
She had lately returned from profession
al season IN san francisco, and mad play
ed at McN lrher's theatre Tor week,
where she was nightly received with
marks OF Warmest regard. She occupied
an apartment at the Fremont House, and
shortly after midnight the bell of Miss
UaWthome'S room was ruug IN the office.
The boy knocked, and knocked again, but
there was no answer lie waited, repeat
ing the rapS, and getting no answer, went
down to the office and reported The clerk
Immediately went up stars, ana after re
ccivlng no answer, entered the room,
Miss Hawthorne was not to be found.
Suspectmg something wrong, the clerk
reused the lady friends IN an ADJOINING
room, and they quickly rushed INTO the
deserted room. Finding nothing but her
clothing they looked out OF the window.
1t was dark and there was no sound. Di-
rectly below the window there IS clear
fall OF seven stories to paved opening
between the walls OF the building. " She

smart independent paper. saws of I'iIden-

The Ihlladelphla Times, a new and very
smart independent paper, says Of Tilden-
For once the Democracy have given the
country a leader who is himself the embod-
ment of the issues of the contest. He is no eX-
pedient-no inotfensve nobody to drivel thro'
contest without otfense. He is courageous
offender, inside and outside his party-a master
general, who holds no council of War-an ag-
gressive chieftan, who turned from the tester-
ing Tammany citadel he had conquered by po-
lltlcal rebellion, and driven its supposed omni-
potent magnates to flight or death, who con-
quered the chivarous Dix because he bore the
dishonored banner of Grant And when crown
cd with the supreme authority of his Empire
commonwealth, he has been the mailed knight
who challenged to combat those who waved the
plume of Democratic honors in official pecul:,-
tons. He comes before the American people
just when there is famine of manly leadership
and Il universal feast of unsavory ittleness. He
will be opposed by some who believe more in
the Democracy of the past than in the grandeur
ola national regeneration, but unless the audi
bic whispers of Republican discomfort are ut
terly meaningless, each setting sun will rise
again on Governor TiIden Strengthened in the
trust of the people.

VIM. Pierce of Providence died of heat Wednes
day night.
The Woman's journal asks, "How shall we
utilize the supcriluous woman.' 1t seems as if
she might be Utahlized by forwarding her to
Salt lake City.
Woman has many advantages over man; one
of them is that his will has no operation till he
is dead, whereas hers generally takes effect in
her lifetime.

There is Il very lively kind of row
among the Republicans of the First Dis
trict over the congressional matter. r. b.
Reed of Portland, was last week nomi-
mated over Burleigh, after Il fierce fight in
the convention. and the elements refuse
to subsi,le. There is trouble brewing,
and as the district is usually close one,
a Democratic member may be looked for.

The coming Democratic Convention for
tho Fifth District should take care that
there is no cause for complaint in the dis
hihuton of the honors among the four
counties composing the district. 1t is
easier to do the fair and right thing than
not to do it. Thus Washington has fur
nished the delegate at large to st Louis
Convention, and Hancock and Waldo the
district delegates. By the denomination
Of Mr.. Spotford for Congress, Hancock is
likely to get the odd share that must 90
somewhere. In that event, surely the
nomination for Presidential elector should

The editor OF the Eastport Sentinel.
who is Collector at that port, and owes
his appointment to Hale, is complimentary
to AIillikcn. lie thinks the Waldo aspir-
ant entitled 10 great credit for having
"held the Waldo delegates to d loyal ac-
quiescence in the will Of the Convention Z"
Undoubtedly. The boy who gets the

head, always thinks well of his outside
chum who refrains from upsotting the
concern in the hope to ret share The
question is, how cong shall Waldo circum
navigate the casl1, peep through the bung-
hole, and 'loyally acquiesce"?

1t is quite time taat something was
heard from the Committee of the Fifth
District in regard to the time and place of
holding the Congressional Convention
Every other district in the State has made
its call. Our district requires longer
notice than the others. owing to the ex-
tent of its territory, and the committee
should be stirring.

A writer in the Prog. Age over the sig
nature Of M" presumably Mlliken,
arises to explain the refusal of the late
Ellsworth Congressional Convention to
pass q resolution according justice to
Waldo. There is q better one than that
a great deal. 1t was because of the lack
Of pluck on the part of the Waldo dele
gates. Had they put forward spokes-
man to stand up boldly in the Convention
and say-"This nomination in all fairness
and justice belongs to Waldo The mat
ter is too plain to need argument. You
have the numbers here to outvote us. But
the binding force of a vote of this Con-
vention is no greater than the resolution
Of the Republican National Convention
which declares for a fair distribution of
political honors. If such a plain law is
violated, you do it at your peril. The
wrong here done will be righted at the
polls" Does any one believe they would
have DARED to proceed in the face Of such
a protest? Instead OF that, Milliken en-
dorsed the nomination, and pledged zeal
Gus support to a nominee who. if his own
account be correct had controlled the ma
Jority TO the preparation Of wrong and
injustice to Waldo. A show Of pluck at
the right time would have been worth
whole pages Of newspaper growing now.

The platform of the Democratic Nation
al Convention, expresses in vigorous Ian
guage the leading idea that is to prevail
IN the campaign-tho demand tor reform
in the administration. 1t must be recog-
nized oy the people, expressed at the
polls, and enforced in the government, if
this country is to have future
The financial plank is all that can be de-
sired. Economy and retrcnchment, with
wise administration Of the finances, are
relied upon to inspire that confidence
which will make the currency equal to
gold. The whole platform is sound in
theory, and most admirably expressed.
Its adoption 10y the country, and the cleo
ton of 1ilden will be certain to bring con-
fdence, revival of business and general
prosperity.

the forthcoming letter of acceptance from
