A Democratic View Of 1t.
From the New York World

What now most concerns the democratic
party, however, and the whole country is that
for the first time since the close of the un-
happy strife. which came upon this great and
prosperous republic twenty years ago through
the bitterness Of sectional passions, a true
Great Council of the democrats of the whole

which have enabled all its members to take
full and equal share in its deliberations. The
"solid South" has spoken out its Utmost mind
at Cincinnati As clearly and as strongly as
the North, the East or the West.
The nomination of Winfield Scott
Hancock, an American soldier of the Union,
whose very name embodies all the
memories which lie most deeply in tue Amer
lean heart, is the answer of the sssolid South
to all who honestly or dishonesty question
the loyalty of the South to the flag, the laws,
the order and the great future of the republic.
1t is of all imaginable answers the most abso-
lutte and unanswerable. 1t is proclamation,
the force Of which men of all ranks and con-
ditions can honestly and equally well appre-
ciate. that the era of sectional politics in this
country is about to close. General Hancock

the democratic party with citizen of the
great West honorably known all over the
country As an able and successful man of af.
fairs and As faithful public servant in places
# public trust In the selection Of both
candidates the delegates Of the democracy have
shown themselves absolutely free from coz
troll Of the machine" Nor is the contrast
greater between the order, the de-
corum and the good feeling which have
marked the deliberations Of the convention
at Cincinnati. and the uproar. confusion and
bitterness of the protracted faction fight called

the qualities and the associations which COM
mended Hancock and English to the choice
Of the democrats, and the qualities
and the associations by which the
choice Of Garaeld and Of Arthur vas forced
upon the republicans.

Sharks infest the New JERSEY fishing banks,
Last Thursday. David Livingston, fisher
man. was standing in the stern of his boat,
pulling up bluefish which he had just
hooked. As the struggling fish came near
the serfice he saw a huge blue shark follow
ing swiftly in the wake, and before he could
change his position the monster struck the
boat with such force as to throw him some
distance into the water. He was Immediate
" rescued by another fisherman, and upon
returning to his own boat found the upper
jaw of the shark protruding through a rag
ged opening in the bottom of the boat, while
the teeth of tie lower jaw were fixed in the
keel The shark was evidently unable to ex-
tricate itself, and was lashing the water into
foam in its endeavOrs to- escape. Finally it
succeeded and disappeared, while the boat
readily filled with water. However, by
stufiing the aperture with their coats and
tarpaulins, the fishermen managed to tow it
safely ashore.

The Apache Who Could Ride Bronco. ,


Tom Newland has an Indian who
places a high estimate on his eques-
trian ability. There was horse to. be
brought to town a few days ago,
and the Indian was given the job. He
was told that it was a 'bronco," but it
was "esta bueno, me sabe." Hitching
the animal to q tree, he carefully
placed the sweat cloth on him; then
the blanket, the bridal and the saddle.
All this time the bronco" looked as
unlike Alexander the Greats war
horse, Bucephalus, as carpenters saw
horse. The Indian started; he gained
the crest Of the hill where the scrub
oak was the thickest; he turned and
gave another "Ah, hail." which was
followed SO close by whoa" that it
sounded like a compound word. Then
something rose a few feet in the air,
went back, and rose again. There
was cloud of dust, heap Of Apache
talk, fash of bright colors, and
silence. When Tom went up he found
the horse grazing in the most
orthodox fashion, and strip of
white breech clout, and pair Of brown
legs surmounted by red stockings and
iron-clad shoes sticking up from the
middle of a scrub oak like new plant.
Tom got him out of the brush, and
when he said, "Ah, ha," the Indian
looked as though he wanted to go on
the war-path.
