Democrats in Convention.

This is the party which nomina-
ted Mr.. Mitchell Tuesday, and is the
same party which nominated Judge
Mallory on disgracelul soft-money
platform two years ago; the same
party that united with the Green
hackers in tue Assembly; the party
that ratified the nominations of the
Greenbackers in the First and Sew
enth Congressional Districts last
year Therefore their platform of
hard money is transparent in its
fraudulent character. Mr.. Mitchell
will not accept the nomination. If
he could be persuaded to run he
would be beaten and beaten badly.
As to the balance of the ticket: -
We confess to ignorance of Mr..
Kings worth the candidate foI
Lieutenant Governor. Sam Ryan,
nominated for Secretary, is rock
rooted Bourbon, who regards the
immediate success of the party as of
more consequence than principles.
A good man personally and socially,
he is an Appleton Crescent Demo.
crat politically, than which nothing
can be more extreme. Andrew Ha-
ben, candidate for treasurer, is too
good man to be put up to be
knocked down by Mr.. Guenther as
be certainly will be Mr.. Habep is
is from Oshkosh. J. Montgomery
Smith, of Mineral Point, is the can
didate for Attorney General and Ed
ward Soaring for Superintendent of
Public Instruetion-the latter who
made a good fight against the Madi-
son book ring. Defeat will be the
share of every man on the ticket.

1T has been TN the air." and We
have 'ielt it in oar bones,' that
Maine would this year register a
Republican triumph.
The Republican Greenbackers who
left the party at the last election
there have have had too many calls
to return.
They saw greater danger to the
country than the peril of ''hard
money"
They comprehended that we bet
ter first make sure we had country
to make financial laws for, before
we went to work quarrelling over
the laws we should make.
They saw the rise, the advance,
the insolence of the Brigadiers.
They saw liberty OF speech and Of
the ballot thrott!ed in the South !;
saw not only Republicanism driven
ont of the country, but every expires
sion Of opinion unfavorable to De-
mocracy stihed.
Ihey compromised that for the
present there can be but two parties
in this country, and but one great
issue, and that issue whether the
men who lost all on the battlefield
shall recover everything at the ballot
box. And so the Republican Green
hackers of Maine, or enough of them
for all practical purposes, having
this question before them, and see
ing their duty, answered NO." vot-
ed No." and to-day we place the
extreme Eastern commonwealth
alongside the extreme Western, both
doubtful few weeks ago, and point
the solid South to them as the begin
ming of Northern unification.
The report of that Dixon gun is
echoing back to the South from the

THE revival of trade is best seen
in the upward tendency of all kinds
of goods, Last year, no matter how
close you bought, you could do
better in n month. This fall men
are buying large stocks to carry
well satisfied that they will have to
pay more for the same grade of
goods at the next purchase. The
iron market too, one of the best
Indicators of trade, is very active.
AL The American rolling mills have
orders ahead that will strain their
utmost capacity until late next
spring and large orders have been
sent to English mills which will
perhaps help to relieve the pinch of
hard times there, and make it easier
for them to buy our surplus crops.

WHY HE WAS NOT LYNCHED.
frankfort Special to Louisville Couri,
journal

Frankfort Special to Louisville Courier
Journal.
When Tom Buford fired the shot that
took the life of member of the supreme
court of the commonwealth of Kentucky,
and fired the shot because of an official act
of that judicial officer, all Frankfort, to use
the words of a distinguished citizen, was
"paralyzed" by the enormity of the deed and
the manner of its accomplishment. To that
mental shock of the public mind and the
prompt act Of an officer in hurrying the as
sassin to Jail, Tom Buford probably owes
the continuance of miserable existence.
Had one voice broken the spell by calling
for vengeance, spontaneous outburst of
passion would have led TO the tearing asunder
of the cold-blooded murderer, and to the
scattering of his carcass as food for dogs.
Happily for the already outraged law, when
the reaction came the criminal was beyond
the reach of an unorganized fury, and cooler
heads were taking precautions to thwart any
plans of a concerted assault Quick, as
though fire-bells had called them, an excited
throng of angry people pnnrad into and filled
up st. Clair street, in the neighborhood OF
the Jail, and while there were but few open
threats made, it required but casual OBJ
server to read in eyes too hot for tears the
Thompson ordered Sheriff Williams IAN old
school-mate and lifelong friend of the muir
dered MANI to summon posse for the pro
lection of the murderer, ana when darkness,
under whose cover mobs, like over beasts of
prey, usually do their deyilish work, crept
over the scene and passion became rampant,
Gov. McCreary mingled with the mass. and
with earnest appeals and sober reasoning
sought to dissuade them from their purpose
of indicating the law by lawless means.
There were no noisy demonstrations, the
Governor being accorded q respectful atten-
ton and courteous treatment. The coolest
heads considered the precautions taken suf-
| ficient to prevent any attem ot at violence,
but the Governor, in the abundance of his
caution, had instructed the peace officers to
call for the militia if there was any donbt
about the matter, and soon after dark the
call was made, and thirty-hve members of
the McCreary guards, under the command OF
| Capt. Ed Taylor, were stationed around the
Jail. This action on the part of the author
tiles elected some unfavorable comment, but
severe storm of wind and rain came up
about 9 o'clock, and the crowd scattered to
collect no more. At no time could the as
semblage properly be termed a mob, but the
friction of so many excited minds, if allowed
to continue uninterrupted, would have
worked up frenzy disastrous in the end.
Under the aggravating circumstances attend
ing this most unproyoked and, considering
its deleterious effects upon the interests of
the people of the whole State, most disas-
trous crime IN the annals of the American
people, the citizens of Frankfort deserve
much credit for the forbearance and self
control which saved them and this State an
other stain.

cept, perhaps, were some of the men, who
have interestssat stake, TO go into the par
ishes and persuade the negroes into better
frame of mind; even this plan might fail.
however, as there are now men in these par
ishes who have the ear of the negroes, and
are doing all they can to persuade them to
ave.
As last recourse, however, something
must be done to persuade the negroes to
move into the sugar region, where tranquil
ity reigns, aud the laborer not only gains
but receives his hire. It is understood that
an organization is being made for this pur-
pose, and that everything will be tried to
keep the negroes from entirely quitting the
State, for it IS conceded by the wise that the
negrOes are the best field workers in ex-
istence, and that this State will go to the
dogs without them
This is the truth, although it does hurt
the pride of the average country politician
to admit it.
This great change IN the population of
this State is going on now, and there is no
time to lose, if good result is to be OBJ
tanned. The danger is one of the present
moment, and the remedy must be applied al
once or not at ali. At such moment as
this the people of Louisiana must not ask to
be called twice to look after their interests
the case has been clearly and honestly
stated next thing is action.
