TILDENS NARROW ESCAPE FROM VI
TER DEFEAT IN PENNSYLVANIA.
The Defeat Of the Unit Rule Saves him a
Minority Representations Vigorous
enuneiation Of Democratic Doc
trines-0etails Of the
Struggle.

The convention oi Pennsylvania DEM
ocrats closed It's session yesterday. From
rlden stand point the battle seems to
have been draw. The platform Is
characterized by vigor Of expression
worthy Of the approaching struggle. IL
asserts, with true Democratic consist
ency, the rights that the States hayeleit
to them under the Constitution, and
euergeiically protests against the Fed
eral interference upon which the Re-
publican party has builded its strength.
Ii demands that the military shall be
subyerted to the civil authorities, and
that the freedom OF the ballot box shall
he protected against the invasion OF Rad
ical deputy marshals. X. B. Hayes Is
denounced AS the representative OF fraud
aud conspiracy, and his support OF the
measures admitting the army to
be used for election purposes
is characterized as menace to the
country. La the matter OF the currency
the party is committed TO gold aud sill
YER coin, and convertible paper money;
it is arrayed in opposition to subsidies
OF every class 10y the declaration that
public money or credit should only he
used ia the public service; 1t scorches
the Republican hrihcrs VINO have been
convicted Oi an attempt to debauch the
Legislature Of the State, and finally 1t
ftly stgmatizcs the great Presidential
fraud oi 1876. The most exciting episode
OF the Convention was the fight Tor the
establishment Of the unit rule. Wallace
favored the adoption Of that principle,
but hc was successfully opposed hy
Randall, who thus saved to Tllicn the
opportunity to be- represented IN the
delegation. Senator Wallace IL author

stands 81 against Tildcn, aud 20 in his
favor, and had hc secured the adoption
Of the unit rule sammy would have been

DIGGING HIS OWN GRAVE.
The Tragic Death Of an Ohio

and the Equally Fearful Death
of His Mistress.

county has always enjoyed an unenyia-
bile reputation for the murderous pro-
pensities oi it's inhabitants. It's last
sensation was furnished by Nelson Root,
an cmpioyc in the stave yards in wild
settlement called Schooner After u
protracted spree he fled 10 the woods
aud was not followed, as IL was supposed
hc would return alter ho recovered from
the effects oi his debauch, but four days
elapsed and ho did not come. Then u
party started out 10 search for him,
and after securing the hills and
ravnes Of that isolated country
they discovered him yesterday in
a deep ravine dead, not lying on tho
surface of the earth 10 be- eaten by the
buEzaris, but partly buried, ho having
with his own hands duga french six
feet long, eighteen inches wide
and about the same number OF

he became rational, but was unable 10
move from exposure aud exhaustion,
aud knowing that death was inevitable,
dug his Own grave. Root was a native
OF Ohio, his body being shipped there
for Interpent.
Here is where the strangest part Of
the affair comes IN. Near Roots cabin
was a ranch kept by two or three pros
,itutes, among them being Mary Fleet
wood, with whom Root was very init
mate, aud vino used 10 spend much OF
her time at his cabin. After he dlsap-
pcared, she not Knowing OF IL, went 10
his cabin one night and crawled in bed
with who she supposed was Root, hut
who proved to be the boy, and Who told
ner Of his disappearance. Apparently
much gTIcyod she returned 20 her
ranch, heavy storm coming up on her
way back, and she had just entered
when a bolt Of lightning struck thu
house, shattering its root and instantly
killing the woman Fleetwood.
The other occupants were badly
shocked, but not seriously injured

millions of dollars, and We believe that
like result would follow its restoration
To power in the State OF Pennsylya-
MIA.
s. That the Democratic party, being
the natioual friend OF the workingmen,
and having throughout its history steod
between him and oppression, renews
its expression Of sympathy with labor
and its promise OF protection to Its
rights.
o. That we look with alarm and appre-
hensian upon the pretensions OF the
great transportation companies 10 De
above the fundamental law OF this COM
monwealth, which governs all else with
in our borders, and until they accept
the Constitution Of 1873, in good faith,
they should remain the object OF utmost
vigilance and jealousy by both leglsla-
ture and people.
10. That the recent attempt, under the
personal direction OF the rulina Repu6'
iican leaders, 10 debauch the Legislature
by wholesale bribery to corruption, aud
TO take from the State S4,000,000 for
which its liability had never been ascer-
tanned is fresh and alarming evidence
OF the agvressiveness OF the political
ring, and should receive the signal con-
demnation of the people at the polls.
IL. That the great fraud at 1851
by which, upon false count OF the
electoral votes Of three States, the candl'
date defeated at the polls was seated in
in the Presidential chair, and Tor
the first time in American hist
ory the will OF the people was
set aside under threat Of military
force was the most deadly blow ever
aimed at our system Of representative
government. To preserve the country
from the horrors OF second war the
Democratic party submitted Tor time
in the firm aud patriotic faith that the
people would peacefully redress the
great wrong aud signally rebuke the
dark crime when they should come To
vote in 1880. That issue precedes and
dwaris every other. IL imposed more
sacred duty on the people Of the Union
than ever addressed the Conscienccs oi
nation OF ireemen.
Rcsolred, That in conformity with the
time honored custom OF the Pennsylya'
MIA Democracy, aud To the end that our
great commonwealth shall not bo de-
priyed of her legitimate influence, her
delegates To the National Convention
are instructed tO vote as u unit on all
questions. aud they are further instruct
ito oppose the abrogation OF the two
thirds rule.
