TIE pRLEGATE ELECTION.

Another week will bring US to the
very eve of the Delegate election, and
all Democrats are again urged to turn
out and express their preferences. 1t
Is to be hoped that particular atten.
ton will be paid to the selection of
Delegates and that men will be elected
whocannot be made the tools of schem-
ing politicians-men who will have the
good of their party and OF the country
alone at heart, and who will have the
independence and ability to make the
best possible nominations. lmpudent
meddlers are always plentiful about
conventions and the Delegates ought
to be men who will give them bat lit
tie or no attention but who will make
such nominations as are believed to be
the best for the party and the public
good,
We urge upon the party everywhere
to be on keen lookout for tricks and
sharp practices, 80 that they may be
fully prepared to prosecute any in
fringement of the law or of the party
rules. Honest tickets and complete
blanks and instructions are being sent
out by the Chairman of the County
Committee, and there can be no mis-
take made in anything. The instruc-
tions will be read in open convention
and the Delegates are required by the
rules to obey them strictly. The will Of
the people as expressed through the
elections must therefore be carried out,
yet it is better to elect Delegates who
will voluntarily and oftheir own choice
do this.
Rings and ringsters (ifthere are any
should be set aside and all combina.
tions should be repudiated, What Ii
wanted is a ticket that is plainly indi
Gated by the voice of the people, and
not one that is the result of bargain oi
intrigue. Every candidate should
stand upon his popularity, and every
nominee should be placed upon the
, ticket because the people want him
Otherwise there will be disafeotlor
, and possible defeat.
The material thing that is wanted
is q full turn out to the Delegate elec
ton, If that be obtained everything
D will necessarily be rightly done an'
/, tricksters will have no opportunity Il
] ply their vocation.

From the day he was brought here no

special interest in him. There was
no animosity shown, however. If his

case Of any other prisoner The
only people who have been here to see

stenographer, who has been taking his
statements. He has sometimes asked
to have HIM come.
"There is no such thing as solitary
confinement in this Jail. There is sep
arate confinement. Guiteau can hear
the other prisoners talk and can talk
with them, though he is separated
from them. The guards talk with
him on subjects connected with his
prison life, but not about the Presi
dent. Nobody here wants to talk with
him about bis crime. don't think he

"Does he get the newspapers"
"He has no newspapers. He reads
mostly the Bible and serious works"
"There's nothing peculiar about

"No, | take no stock in his insanity.
There has been nothing in his actions
here to indicate it any more than in
the conduct OF other criminals. do
not think he is a man Of strong moral
conviction"
General Crooler said that Guiteau
reads the Constitution Of the United
States and the Bible moro than any
other books. Besides these he had
road throo books belonging TO tho jail
library, two novels and one entitled
"Nine Years Among the Convicts or,
Prison "reminiscences" by Eleazer
Smith. No letters come TO the Jail
for Guiteau.

OUR NEW SENATOR

The editor Of the Philadelphia Times
reads Senator Wallace's successor a
bit of the political riot act in these
words:
"Senator Mitchell shouldn't be so
hasty in annexing his public opinions
to the opinions of Senator Cameron.
Because he is generally accepted as an
annex Senator, is no reason why he
must commit all sorts Of public follies
simply because Senator Cameron makes
side trade now and then with politi-
cal adventures like Malone. Besides,

IN TERRIBLE PERIL.


The residents of the village of Chip

Niagara Falls, up the Niagara river,
were startled at dusk by hearing loud
cries Tor help from the river, which
was covered with an impenetrable fog.
1t was soon learned that John Lehman

starting from Port Day, about mile
above the Falls, but they had been
overtaken by sudden land fog com.
ing upon them as they were nearing
the Canada shore. Losing their course
they were swiftly nearing the rapids
and were being carried to destruction
through the rushing waters. Tho town
bell was rung, Some parties fired
guns. No other efforts under the cir.
cumstances could be made TO save the
unfortunate men, and those who had
gathered on the shore from hearing
their cries stood stricken with terror,
knowing the fearful death awaiting
the occupants of the boat. Greenwood,
sesing his dangerous position, let 90

Of the rocks and he was saved. He kept
shouting for help at intervals at night,
and next morning was found riding
safely at anchor. The Lehmans hav.

down with the rapids, shrieking frant-
ically for help. Almost by a miracle
the current swept them against q pro.

and they were saved. They returned
as quickly as possible to Chippewa,
secured aid and waited until daybreak
and with great difficulty and daring
rescued their comrade.

large taunery of the Mexican Brothers,
at Watsontown, Northumberland Co.,
was totally destroyed by fire at an
carly hour this morning, Involving a
lass of $4,000. The insurance is
about $4,000. The fire originated
from sparks from the fue while the
watchman was engaged in cleaning it,
Owing to an insufliciency OF bose to
reach either the canal or river the
steam fire engine could render no ser.

leather for betting almost entirely and
employed about forty men. A shed
containing seven hundred cords of oak
bark was saved and the hides in the
watts were uninjuret, About twelve
thousand hides were dressed annually
1t will probably be rebuilt at once.
