The bolts have begun. Ex'District-
Edward. II. Lathrop. who has
been member of the Massachusetts
democratic state central committee, has
resigned his membership. and given his
reasons for SO doing in a letter to the
chairman. Mr.. Lathrop admits his respect
for General Hancock as "a great and
good SOLDIER but he does not like it that
men of approved craftsmanship, ripe in
civic judgment, were passed over that the
nomination might be conferred upon lone
whose known civil qualities ar. mostly
negotiations, and whose career is blazoned
only by the red light of military achieve
nents." Mr.. Lathrop belongs to the
Butler wing of the Massachusetts democ
iacy. favored Bayard, and didn't at al
favor Tilden.

/ ANOTHER STEAMBOAT DIsAsTER.-On
Thursday forenoon. on Lake Minnatonka'
Mimi, the pleasure steamer Mary, while
lying at the wharf at St. Louis hotel, ex-
ploded her boiler with terrible effect
completely wrecking the boat, which
sank Immediately. VIM. Chadwick, en-
gineer, was instantly killed; j. K. Plat
tenburg of Canton, ILL.,, guest at the
hotel, was fatally injured; G. I. Gaines
head waiter at the hotel, was instantly
killed; John Stewart. the pilot, was fatally
injured; A. S. Perkins, fireman. scalded
about the face and neck, Frank Adams,
chief clerk at the hotel, scalded and hurt
internally. Five others We're badly
scalded and bruised. The Mary has been
considered unsafe, as her boiler is what is
known rs the Ames boiler, and is the
third of that make that has exploded on
the lake in the last three years, each time
with fatal results. 1t is claimed there
were but sixty pounds Of steam in the
boiler ut the time oc the explosion.

The real cause of the Seawanhaka dis
aster, according to machinists who have
made i'm examination of the wreck, is that
in one of the three and one.half inch tubes
of the boiler, through which the hot air
and fire are drawn from the burning Goals,
there was hole large enough for tho in
scrtion of mans fist. The inside of this
tube, rs well rs of the fifty others, was
also thickly scaled, probably from tho use
at some time of salt water. The effect of
this collection on the inside of the tube
was TO require the burning of more fuel,
and the whole pressure of the steam in the
boiler was transferred by the rupture to
the f:rc-box, sending the doors open and
scattering the hot Goals over the tiremen's
room, setting fire to the woodwork about
the fireroom, and sending the flames up
to the main deck.

The New York Herald puts in few
words this truth about the election laws,
which the democrats made n fuss over
because they wanted an issue and not
because the party was ever injured by
them: THE divided democrats felt that
they needed an issue on which the party
could unite, and without any popular
demand they selected the election laws.
They made botch of it; they lost ground,
as they deserved to do. The party never
suffered much from the election laws.
1t was defeated in 1879, not by the
Federal troops and deputy marshals, but
by the weakness of it's candidates. In
1874, it elected majority of congress, as
1t did also in 1876 and 1878, and It was
never alleged that any democratic candi-
date was beaten by the deputy marshals.
In the presidential election Of 1875 thew
claim that they elected their candidate.
and the fact that he was excluded was
not charged to the Federal election laws.
but to false counting by returning boards,
The new issue which they dragged in bv
the ears did not represent grievance but
2 fancy, and they have gained nothing by
its introduction"

TIE CANDIDATES AND THE IssuE.-Mr.
Curtis. in Harpor'S Weekly, well sets
forth the difference between Hancock and
Garfield, as nominees for president, as
follows:
General Hancock represents no policy,
no principle, no issue. nothing but the
party which has nominated him, and he
will be supported by those only who think
that the public welfare would be promoted
by bringing the democratic party into
power. Gen. Garfield stands for the best
sentiment of the party which has been
identified with the patriotism, the intel
ligence, the free industry. the progressive
spirit of the country. Gen. Hancock
represents party without n programme
or policy, and with the most damaging
traditions. That party has eminent lead
ers, but Gen. Hancock is not one of them.
If he has views upon public questions,
they are not known. He is, Of course,
wholly without civil experience, except
that OF II military governor. lie is Il
worthy gentleman, whose life has been
passed in the military service, and whose
election us president would be IL leap in
the dark.
General Garfield, on the other hand, is
not only citizen soldier of distinction,
but statesmen of wide and various
experience and sagacty, of unusual
knowledge and tact, II leader of his party
by signal ability, and a gentleman Of
unblemished character. If the office Of
chief magistrate of the Union requires
civil ability and especial knowledge, wide
experience and courage, matured con-
viclions upon public principles and policy
familiarity with public affairs and public
men, as well as perfect personal rectitude
and intelligent sympathy with the ideas
and purposes and tendency of II great
political party, Gen. Garfield is peculiarly
the candidate for those who wish to know
what their votes mean. Gen. Hancock is
the respectable candidate of the demo
cratic party; but how has the democratic
party deserved the respect or the conf
dence of the country?
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1880-07-07

Ohio is a good state to select u president
from, for there is current belief that
every man within her borders who desires
a government position has had his wants
supplied; and hence if Mr.. Garfield is
elected, he can give all his attention to
legitimate business, and no. have his
townsmsn drop on him with requests for
oonsulates and judgebhips.
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1880-07-07
Ella Doe first, $3.50; Amy second, S75
Little Dick third, $75.

Hudson and johnson. both from Bur-
lington, ran together all the time and took
first and second money. La Page from
Hyde Park took third money. The two
former got three laps on La Page the first
hour and one the second. Sargent did not
get down to the work easy and so could
not keep up to the end and soon fell out.

Gov. Hoyt, of Pennsylvania, expresses
the opinion that the democratic partyweak-
ems Hancock TO a greater extent than he
strengthens it and that the combination
can't win because the people will discover
that the mixture 81 candidate and princi-
pie is incoDgrous.
