tol it could neither burn nor inurn this
preponderating cash question. The DEM
ocratic platform of 1884, if the party
will make desperate stagger to-
ward consistency, will candidly adj
init that "the people condoned the
great fraud in 1880, but we earnestly
urge upon the principal benefciaries of
that condoned outrage the payment to
Messrs. Iilden and Hendricks of the
amount of money they would have re-
ceived had they been duly indicted into
the Offices for which they were respect
lively supported-not as n matter of JUS
tice, but as a graceful tribute to patriots
who have suffered much" But there is
no hope of anything so sensible getting
into that platform.

the engineer discovered man with bag OH his
back hurrying across the structure. He whistled
for brakes but 1t was manifestly too late cloud
of dust enveoped the locomotive as 1t rushed over
the bridge, sparing the engineer the pain of seeing
fellow mortal cut in pieces. AS soon as tho train
stopped several brakemen and number of hor-
ror-loving passengers went back to pick up the

beside the track a jolly fat negro, covered with
about fifty pounds of meal and laughing heartily
at his plight. When asked II he was hurt, he re-

State for his refusal to sanction the Garceon steal
