Tammany platform, but it is somebody
who knows thoroughly the character
and history of the Sage of Gramerey
Park. Read the following:
We protest against his [TiIden'1 nomination
because his record is not clear; beoause his
political career has been marked with selfish
ness, treachery, and dishonor; because he has
lost the respect confidence and friendship uf
many of the best men in the party, to whom It
looks for guidance; because he has damaged
the Democracy more than any other man in
the country; because his name IL irretrevaby
connected with attempts to bribe Electors and
the scandals brought to light by the cipher dis
patches; because hundreds of thousands of
Democrats cannot oonscientiously vote for
him, and his nomination would sound the
knell of Democratic defeat.
1t is extremely probable that Uncle
Sammy will be the nominee of the
Democratic party; and, we may add,
also probable that the Tammany faction
will support him, There is absolutely
no principle involved in the Kelly bolt.
1t represents the most corrupt political
organization known to the political his
tory of this country. 1t arises wholly
out of personal quarrel about party
control, because party control involves
the distribution of spells. Such dis
pute never yet disrupted the Democratic
party in time of emergency, and it
will not now. Hence all Republican
hopes of carrying New York through
the influence of a permanent split be-
tween Kelly and Tilden are delusive.--

The Macon MISS Tornado.

MERIDIAN, Miss, April 20.
A special to the appeal from Macon,
Miss, says:
Last night at hnlr-past eight clock one OF
the most fearful and furious cyclones struck
the northern part of this place, resulting in
sad loss of life and wholesale destruction OF
property. The day had been unusually
sultry. AT the hour stated two terrible
and the other from the southwest, bear
ing clouds charged with electricity, were
hurled together right at the fated locality. 1t
was a war Of storms. Besides the incessant
across the clouds, varying in size from a
chestnut to that of a man $ head. Right in the
center of that part of the town around the
rail- Dad station the storms met and the work
of destruction commenced, and in less time
than | can tell it the place was in ruins.
The loss of life was fearful. Through
the beating rain, against the pitiless
winds, our citizens rushed to the scene
TO aid the sufferers. Through the night
squads OF men combined went TO work to re-
move the debris and gather up the wounded,
dying and dead that were scattered every
where. The scene beggars all human attempts
at description. To-day the citizens have
closed their places of business and are de-
voting the day TO caring Tor dead and wound
ed. Eighteen were killed outright and forty
more or less wounded, some perhaps fatally.
After the storm some OF the ruins caught
hre, but the fire was checked before spreading
to any extent.
About ten o'clock a perfect water-spout WIS.,
Men and women were found to-day dccapi-
lated the limbs torn from their bodies, and
otherwise mutilated, quarter of a mile from
their homes. stock was all killed in that
vicinity. Bolt goods from store were found
eight miles from the town in tree-tOps
A chIld of Mr.. Horton found a head quar-
ter of a mile away from the scene of the de-
siruction.
One house near the center of the storm was
whirled around and its front changed in an
EXACTLY opposite direction.
XnegrO woman was found dead in a field
west of the depot, literally stripped of all her
clothing.
1t rained nearly all the morning and most of
the night, but noble band of women, true to
the Biblical tradition, "Woman last at the
Cross and first ut the tomb" are doing all that
human hands can do in administering to the
wounded and dying.
The only two houses remaining intact are
filed with the dead and wounded. The faces
Of the dead and grUans from the mangled and
dying maze up picture that would bring Sor-
row to the hardest heart.
The loss is Valiously estimated at from
