An Attempt to AssassIuate Edwin Booth in Nc
VlCker's Theater.
Chicago April 23. While Edwin Booth
was giving the soliloquy in the last act
of "Richard H." at McVicker's Theater
to night, a shot was fired at him by a
man sitting in the left hand upper gal.

three seconds, second shot was fred,
when he rose and started toward the left
wing of the stage. Pointing out as he
went the would be assassin. The latter
was at once seized, and but for the inter.
vention of officers would have been
roughly handled. He states that his
name is Mark Gray that he is % years
old and dry goods clerk of st. Louis |;
that he has been three years preparing
to do this deed, and is surprised that he
failed that his failure to kill Booth is
the only part of the attempt which he re-
grets. He refuses to state the cause Of
his action, but says his reasons will be
regardtd d as sufficient.
Later-Gray says Booth wronged
friend of his one time, and he has been
resolved to punish him ever since, He
states that he is from Keokuk, but lie now
travelling for firm in ST. Louis. He was
only 80 feet distant from Booth when he
fred the shots. He had on his person
letter addressed to a lady by the name
of Katre, stating bis intention of shoot

rambling way that Lawrence Barrett is
a superior actor to Booth. He is now in
custody at the Central station, and talks

A HYPOCRlTE HUsHED.

The fall of that Republican angel, Pri-
vate Dalzell, occasions no little comment
in the newspapers. He is the member
from Noble county, and although ayeIp'
ing calf.head, he is leader in the Re-
publican ranks, and great temper
ancu" advocate, favoring local option for
other folks, and free drinks and plenty
of them for himself, Democrats do not
rejoice in his downfall, but he has been
such an abusive rapscallion that they do
not have any sorrow for the hypo.
crite, now that he is publicly unmasked.
The Caldwell Press, the Democratic pa
per at his home, says of the matter;
We are in receipt of numerous mark
ed copies of newspapers, not on our reg
ular exchange list, each containing an
account of Repres entative DalzeIls re-
cent drunken debauch, for which we
thank the senders, but decline to publish
the articles, and thus add to the disgrace
brought upon our county by the inCon-
sistent conduct of Mr.. Dalzell. He has
gone before our people for years as the
champion of temperance in its most rad.
ical form; he has never ceased to brand
Democrats, and especially his colleagues
in the House, with every form of crime
and immortality, especially that of drunk.
enness, and hence his drunken spree OF
nearly weeks duration, is the more
reprehensible. 1t was a. mercy that his
friends found him and sent him home.
We we're informed in Columbus by those
who witnessed his condition, that there
is no possibility of his vindication, ex
cept through the charity of the silence
of those who witnessed the scene. 1t
will require no small degree of assurance
on his part to put in an appearance in the
House, and meet the scorn and contempt
even of his political friends, not 80 much
on account of his conduct when drunk,
but the silly, babyish attempt to spread
upon the record DR.. John Martins afti-
davit, which in charity we shall not pub
lish. 1t is not without regret that we
chronicle the fact of any mans fall, and
we sincerely hope that we shall not be
again required by any exigenCy to refer
to this matter.

WEEKLY OPPOSED TO
GRANT.

There is not vote that would be cast
for Gen. Grant, which is not sure for any
other Republican candidate. But there
are a great many votes that would be
thrown for candidate without bis dis.
which would not be given to
him. Those who say that the country
needs a strong hand at the helm TO oufb
the Southern spirit, which has not been
half subdued, forget that Gen. Grant, at
though soldier, would have no mere
Constitutional power than any other
President. The country always needs
a strong Executive, but if it must have
Gen. Grant in 1880, not because he is
strong man, 1t must have him in 1884,
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1879-05-01

and os LONG as he lives. 1t is an argu-
ment which proves too much. To say
that he ia the only candidate who can
be elected is the confession of despair
that we do not share, and to assert that
he is the sole, distinctive representative
of Republican principles, is to insult Re-
publican intelligence. Presidentialnom'
nations are generally made by chance
and management, not by the sentiment
of A party; and however probable ioT
that reason. the nomination of General
Grant NAV be, it seems likely it would
chill sincere part of the opposition to
the Democrats, would be accepted with
doubt and regret by another part, and
would be really welcome only to thlru
mart. This last part is undoubtedly very
active and strong in conventions, but 1t
il necessarily somewhat controlled in It's
conduct bv the condition of party opln-
ion. If those only are heard who think
that the nomination of General Grant ls
desirable. he will be nominated. Ii
those VINO tnlnk luau iOo "io"C =
questioned express their opinion, tne
result is not 30 certain. The essential
ouestion for Republicans is whether, !
things considered, the nomination wou d
hest represent the strength and spirit
and purpose of the Republican party
The probable Democratic spirit is plain,
and i would be disastrous. The Demo-
cratic impulse is to revise and repeal, 50 g
far as practicable, all that the RePubli;;
cans have done, and to reopen all old
questions Democratic asCendancy prom
ises continual disturbance and excite
ment, when the country desires tran
GUILTY.. To prevent this ascendency
there must be the frankest counsel to Sc
cure the nomination of candidate, moi
as mere alternative, but as a represen,
tative of the future as well as the past o.

THE selection of Col. James as Speaker,
by the Republican caucus, is claimsd by
the Oglesby men as a triumph over Logan.
The knowing ones, however, understand
the matter in very different light. The
old fight between Cullom. The Senatorial
fight was given out as turning on the sclcc-
ton of the Speaker, because the Oglcsby
wire workers" knew that Cullom would
never allow Morrison to carry off the palm,
1t is said that it was the knowledge of this
fact that made them 50 anxious to give ii
out that Morrison was Logan man, and
then heartily join in the Cullom and Buye-
ridge squabble, taking Cullom's side, in
order to secure what they imagined
would be the moral Of the result to Dick.
