A New Political SCHEME, according to
the New York Commercial 4dUertiSer, is now
being discussed in Democratic circles in that
city and at Albany, which is intended to have
the New York Democratic Congressional del
cgation present solid front for the Hon.
Samuel j. Randall for Speaker, in return for
which PENNSYLVANIA is to be made unit for
the Hon. Samuel j. Tilden at the Democratic
national convention. 1t is further said that
Mr.. John Kelly has not yet given his adher-
ence to the movement, but it is expected he
can be placated.
However this may be, there should be no
need for any schemes to bring Mr. Iilden
forward as the Democratic presidential nomi-
nee next year. He, all things considered, is
the ablest and best fitted man publicly known
for our leader He is the only one that has
inspired the Democratic party, solidified it
and lead it to victory since 1856. He can do
it again, and can win by a large majority OF
the popular vote. He can not only inspire
and unite the party, but the business interests
have confidence in him also. He should have
been our leader in 1880, and instead of the
disgrace of having President assassinated
through Republican factional fights, and
weak and aimless administration like Arthur 8,
we would have President, the ablest, per-
haps, since Jefferson, and an administration
commanding the admiration of the nations OF
Europe as we'll as of our own republic. His
letter declining the nomination in 1880, was
like an electric shock to the party, and enthu-
sed everybody for him. No declination
should be taken next year. Let him be nom,
mated by reclamation.

Mary Dorsey, colored, aged about 60 years,
died suddenly last Saturday. She was from

She started with little colored boy to go to
Patapsco Station to take the cars to Emmitts
burg. When a short distance from her son,
in-law's, she fell, and was afterward carried
back to the house, where she died in about
ten minutes Justice Azarial Oursler held

body, and pronounced her death the result of
PARALYSIS of the heart, in accordance with this
opinion the jury rendered verdict.
Ferdinand Stevens, of Woodberry, Baltimore

Elijah Taylor, near Patapsco.. On the same
evening his left side, arm and leg were paral.
yzed. He continued to decline steadily, and
died last Sunday morning. DR.. NJ. l.. Bolts,

Alleged ForperieS.

From the Hanocer, Pa, Herald, april Z:
Last Fall Jacob NJ. Wise, residing in West
Mannheim Township, purchased at pnblic sale,
a farm belonging to the estate of his father,
Jacob Wise, deceased, situated in the same
township, for 81, 270. He gave his note, with
Henry Masemer, and S. Bolinger as security,
as purchase money, the whole matter to be
settled, note paid and deed acknowledged on
I'd day of April, 1888. On Monday, Wise
went to York and stated to Capt. +. Il. Strine,
the attorney of his mother, Mrs. Mary Ann
Wise, the administrators of the estate, that he
was getting a certain amount of money from
Mr. ichelberger, and would raise the
balance there In the meantime he asked for
the old deed, stating that he wanted it for Il
short time to have a mortgage drawn. 1t was
given to him, kept for an hour or two, and re-
turned in good time. Thus far all appeared
to progress in regular way, but it was the
last time Captain Strine saw Mr.. Wise.
Tuesday Mrs Wise, the administrative, and
some other interested parties, went to York,
when it was learned that Wise early that
morning went to Abbottstown, where he pro-
duced either deed or a mortgage, and nego-
tiated loan of some S2100 from Mr.. William
Hafer. After obtaining the money he quickly
disappeared, and although diligent search has
been made no clue as to his whereabouts
could be found,
The particulars becoming public, Mr.. Boil
linger at once declared his name as security
on the note for the purchase money forgery;
and it is alleged the deed on which Wise OBJ
tanned the money from Mr.. Hafer was for
gerry also. Other forgeries have since come
to light, some being in the shape of sale notes
given last spring.
An execution against Wise on the note for
the purchase money was placed in Sheriff
Altand's hands and the personal property
levied upon onThursday Some of the other
creditors had already seized goods, but the
Sheriff ordered them to be returned to him
for sale. 1t is probable that law suits will
grow out of this complication of affairs.
1t was alleged that Wise had conveyed his
real estate worth about $1,000 to his father
law, Henry Masemer, one of his securities,
but this seems not to be true. A deed was
written for this purpose, but never executed,
probably for want of time.

The Young Democratic Association.

An association has been organized IN Balt-
more city, called the Young Democratic As
ISOLATION. Its constitution says that national
politics have no place in local government,
and that in all elections for city Offices and
for the judiciary, the association shall be free
to indorse the candidates of any party or in
dependent candidates, and in cases of emer-
gency to nominate candidates of its own. No
holder of Office nor candidate for any political
position, nor a member of any general COM
mittee, national, state, or municipal, shall be
eligible to membership. In the long list of
Vice Presidents are the names of many of the
O. l.. DIS. By what process of regeneration
these gentlemen have been changed into
Young Democrats, does not appear in their
published proceedings. There is nothing
stranger in Ovids Metamorphoses than this
sudden transformation. Let us hope that it
is more real. The great cementing, preserv-
alive principle of the Democratic party is and
has ever been, fidelity to its nominations.
This vital principle is wanting in this organl-
cation of Young Democrats. Its RULE s-go as
you please-in all local elections. Its organ
ization is something new and an innovation
upon Democratic usage, sort of impe'7um
an imperio, a government within govern
ment if indeed it be within and not without
the Democratic organization. Let us hope
that the introduction of this duplex machinery
into the Democratic party will run smoothly
and cause no Earring whatever, but we take
occasion here to say that our faith in such
result is less than grain of mustard seed.
An organization recognizing the principle OF
opposition to local party nominations is not
one, in our Judgment, filled with promise of
harmonious agreement with men accustomed
to look upon fidelity to party nominations as
the touchstone of political faith. The Young
Democratic Association of Baltimore is Or
ganized upon basis hitherto unrecognized
by the Democratic party, and one not likely
to be so recognized. AS party men its mem
bers have placed themselves i'll position al
together untenable, and they are making for
themselves, individually, record that will be
damaging, when this delirium is ovcrpast.
