GRANT ON THE PRESIDENCY
He Declares That He is Out of the Race
Blaine and Logan's Chances.


General Grant, in company with his
wife, stopped here Yesterday on his way
to New York. Il have washed my hands
of politics." said he to a Press cOrrespOn-
dent, ''and do not intend to NEEDLE in any
political struggle"
''YOu will not be candidate, then, in
1884, or allow your name to go before the
conventiOn?'
The old soldier stiffIened himself up,
looked keenly at the questioner, and an
swered shortly:
81 am not in politics now"
''Will Mr.. COnkling come into politics
again?"
Il don't know what he may do in the
future. 1 know that he now intends to
devote himself to his profession"
"Who are the prominent candidates for
the Republican Presidential nomination ?''
SAT the present time Blaine and Logan
are the most important, and either of
them, in my judgment, will be the nomi-
nee, but there are so many things that
may occur to bring out other leaders that
it is guess work to name the strongest
man now."
''Do you think the feud between the
half breeds and the stalwarts Will be
healed up before the next conventions?
Il can only hope that it will. There
seems to be a stronger disposition in both
parties to fight among themselves than to
fight the opposing party

HANGED BY A MASKED MOB.
A Supposed Murderer Dragged from al
Iowa Jail.

Iowa Jail.
Des Noines Special, Sd.
John Hammer, an idle character Of VIM
terset, was arrested last week and placed
in Jail there for the murder of William
Newell, near Winterset, one year ago,
whose disappearance, owing to his worth
lessness, made but little comment. Ham,
ner was arrested on the evidence of a man
named Pugh, now in prison at AnamOsa,
on whose statement the body was found,
and who said Hammer had confessed to
him the next day after the murder that he
had killed Newell for his pension money.
The inquest found Hammer gnilty of the
murder. At half-past one O'Clock this
morning 100 masked men assembled at
the court house square in Winterset, and
having been refused the Jail keys by the
jailer, broke into the building with crow
bars and sledges. The mob put a rope
around Hammers neck, after declining
his prayers to hear his statement. They
led him out into the yard; the rope was
thrown over the limb of tree and Ham
ner was pulled from the ground. The
other end of the rope was then made fast
to the fence, and one of the party rode up
to the struggling Hammer and ended his
sutferings by a revolver shot through his
heart.
The whole party fired a revolver volley
and gallOped away. There is very little
excitement at Winterset over the matter
Hammer was about forty years old, and
his aged father lives on farm near that
town. During the progress of the mobs
violence bailitf in the court house tolled
an alarm bell.

They didn't catch many fish, although
they had a great deal of fun and got them
selves wet all over when the log they had
been sitting on rolled over and dropped
them into the water. The biggest catch
of the day was the severe cold they caught
from not being properly dried when they
came out. A summer cold is quite as
dangerous as one in winter, but Perry
Davis Pain Killer is the sovereign RENE
dy in case of either.

The True KEYNOTE

Harris6arg Pa Patriot (Dem.)
There can be no manner of doubt that
the Presidential candidate who will in
sist that the tariff must be settled on the
doctrine of the Constitution and the prin-
ciples of sound political economy will be
able to explode the fallacy and humbug
which have too long been permitted to
set aside the Constitution and sound pO-
litical economy in the framing Of tariff
bills. If the people once come to under
stand that they are taxed unconstitution-
ally for the benefit of favored few, nitro
glycerine would not blow the fraudulent
tariff-makers higher and dryer than they
will be landed by just and righteous
popular Indignation.

A Dead Certainty.


There is one thing Of which the public
is as certain as if the curtain of futurity
We're rolled up and we could gaze down
the perspective of coming years. None OF
the star route defendants will ever be
punished. No matter what the verdict of
the jury may be, none of them will ever
see the inside Of a penitentiary, as they
certainly should if convicted. The result
will prove that the trial was practically
farce, and that the thousands upon
thousands of dollars spent in the prOsecu-
ton have gone for naught.

The New York EreHiHg Post remarks {:
1T is said that by local option elections
in Georgia the saloons in fifty counties
have been closed. This is better success
than has attended this method Of restrict
Ing the evils Of intemperance in other
localities. One difficulty with this plan
has been that after a community has de
cided not to permit licenses TO be granted
it has not had moral force sufficient to
compel obedience TO the law which for
bids selling without license. In Georgia,
however, a more effective public senti-
ment seems to prevail, for it is said that
the moral force that carried the elections
against licenses has been sufficient to
enforce the law"

1t is said, the Senate being Republican,
nothing can be done for tariff reform al
the coming session. The true Democratic
policy is to produce their programme
boldly and decisively at the next session,
to fix the attention of the country upon it,
make clear the necessity of tariff reform,
and if the Republicans oppose and de-
feat it. that will only the more make II
the issue. But to succeed, 1t needs the
fullest discussion before the people.
