THE HON. ROSWELL p. FLOWER ON
THE PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECT.

The Hon. Roswell p. Flower, of New
York, arrived In Chicago yesterday. A
reporter for the Tribune called upon
him, and asked how the Democrats In
New York were feeling about the future
Mr.. Flower said: ''They feel confident
that harmony will prevail in the coming
State Convention, and that victory is
certain this fall. They will not tolerate
factiOnal fights nor break ranks until
the victory of 1884 is won"
How about the trouble between Gov
Cleveland and John Kelly-is 1t not as
wide a split as the old feud between Til.
den and Tammanyp" @ y
"There may be some feeling, but my
Judgment Is that it will not amount u
much. ..".lU |f.
"WhOa are spoken of in connection with
the Democratic nomination."
There is not much talk yet as to can
didates. believe New York man will
be nominated, or rather man who can
carry New York, New Jersey and Con
necticut. II the Democrats Of New York
should be SO foolish as to split into fac.
tiOns, theu western man will be nOmi-
mated. The great majority of the people
of New York desire TO see the country
prosperous, and do not care very much
about politics. They hold the Republi-
can party responsible for the dull times
Of the last year. The meaning of the
victory last fall was that the people de-
manded repeal of the war taxes,
economy in public expenditures, and a
large diminutiOn of Ofice-hOlderS. OF
course the prohibition agitation helped
much in the west. The Republicans
supposed the people wanted a revision
Of the tariff, and about 1000 taxed arti-
cles were taken up and considered. The
result was partial revision; the i'm
porter ceased to do business, the manu-
facturer ceased to sell, the merchants to
buy, and partial decentralization has fol-
lowed. 1t gave q shock to the business
world from which it has not yet re-
covered 81. IN
"WiIl this question be brought up In
the next COngFessP" -

for some people have been or will DO

do not think the Democratic majority
in the next House will attempt any
sweeping changes in the present law.
No man knows what this tariff will
yield in the way of revenue, nor can it
be known until the fiscal year ends

OUR TICKET,


Nominated by popular vote last Satur-
day, will be found at the head Of the ed
itOrial column, and will bear inspec-
tiOn. 1t is composed of good, Stark
county men, who received the highest
number of votes for their respective pO.
sitiOns. The disagreeable feature in
such contest as we have just witness
ed over several nominations, is that so
many good men must be left. This,
however, is just what the fates ordain
and the people decree.
As to the question of locality In nom
mating ticket, there Is not 80 much in
it as some people think at times. At all
events, in the popular vote mode of nom
irating, this cannot. be regulated as In
delegate convention. The great mat
ter is, to get good and safe men. JEFF
fersOn's test was: "Is he honest, is he
capable, is he faithful to the eOnstitu-
tiOn2" jefferson did not enquire where
he lived.
The foregoing remarks are made on
account of both Representatives being
MassillOn gentlemen. There need be
no prejudice on this account, for they
are both worthy, and both are good citi-
zens of Stark county. We doubt not
they will make faithful representatives,
and do their duty to the state and to
their constituents, In accordance with
their obligation.
The ticket as whole is made up Of
citizens who command the confidence of
all who know them. They are men of
character and standing, and we'll known
over the county as such. In these re-
spects the ticket is all we could desire.

correspondent learns that Gen. Crook
was in the Seabuaripa district, In the
southeast part of Sonora, May 81. Up to
that time he had no general engagement

through Mexican officers who command

At the point where Crook was met was
on a slope of the mountains 25O miles

Mexican ranch is located there. A de-

Their camp was reported as being To-
Gated a days journey up the mountain.
Crook was confident the expedition
would prove successful, though the hos
tiles had scattered and divided into
bands under chiefs Loco, Juh, ChattO,
BeritO and Chihuahua. His San Carlos
scouts had also been divided up into
separate parties and were In hot pursuit
but had as yet effected no captures.
From the action of the Chiricahua rene

LIMrTATIoN ON "REvENUE ONLY"

The Iowa Democrats in State COnven-
tiOn declared "fOr a tariff for revenue
only, and gradual but persistent reduc-
tiOn OF protective duties" There Is
nothing very alarming in this. No one
who looks below the surface of our in
dustrial and business condition, accepts
protection as a final and never er-ending
policy. To do SO would be to abandon
all hope of securing a foreign market
for the surplus of our manufactured pro-
ducts in excess of the home demand.
Under the protective policy we can have
no great foreign trade for manufactures,
for protection increases the cost of pro-
ductiOn and shuts us out. In the de-
mand of manufacturers for a reduction
in the duties on raw material and crude
products, we catch the first glimmer-
ings of their conversion to the policy
proposed by the Iowa DemOcrats-that
of a gradual and persistent reduction in
protective duties.
The trouble at this time, In most
branches of manufactures, is home and
not foreign competition. There Is over
production in almost everything; in
iron, steel, glass, cotton and wOOlen
fabrics, paper, boots and shoes, etc. At
least that Is the complaint in explana-
tiOn of a dull market, close margins of
profit, and the tendency to reduced
wages. We occupy the home market,
and must seek foreign outlet for the
surplus, If we would maintain desira-
BILE rate of industrial progress. But q
foreign market and high protection are
antagonistic.- To go into foreign mar
ket, production must be cheapened. To
cheaper production, protective duties
must be reduced, gradually and surely,
Just as the Iowa Democrats say. 1t is a
policy of the future, and not far dis
ta6f lure either; not a policy of de-
strlctiOn, but one of creation.
Will any extreme pr0tectiOnist inform
us what the next step is after our man
ufacturers have secured control of the
home marketp Is it not to look out for
the foreign markets, and when we enter
them we must do so on equal terms with
Great Britain, France and Germany as
competitors. To compete, production
must be cheapened by reducing the cost
OF raw material, and with reduction
in the cost of living, there will come a
reduction In the cost of labor. Capital
is nearly as cheap here now as it Is En-
gland, accepting the price of national
\ securities as the gauge.-Pltts. Post.

The authorities expecting a great
crowd would collect at the jail during
the execution, adopted as extensive pre-
cautions for the maintenance Of order
as those taken when Brady was hanged
Police surrounded the prison, marines
dressed as civilians, mixed with the
crowd, and two companies of troops
were In readiness for any emergency
within the gate adjacent to the hospital.
The crowd was very quiet however. A
number of women In the crowd ferVent-
ly read the prayers for the dying. When
the black flag was hOisted over the jail
some persons in the crowd uttered
shrieks, and a young woman fell on her
knees and called the curse of God on
Jas. Carey, the infOrmer.
The crowd soon dispersed. Kelly re-
ceiVed the last sacrament at $3.50 this
morning, and knelt with the priests in
prayer to the last moment. He main
tanned calm demeanOr, but was very
pale. His parting interview with his
mother and friends was very painful.
This morning he gave lock of his hair
and some flowers to Canon Kennedy,
and requested him to hand them to his
mother. Before his death he repeated
a promise he made his mother, that he
would leave no statement or letter re-
garding the murders.

CHICAGO, June 1O.-A dispatch from
WaVerly, Iowa, gives the following par
ticulars of the Barber lynching: A large
number of persons cOngregated around
the Jail at an early hour of the evening
and mob was talked of on all sides. At
about 10 o'clock man appeared with a
rope followed by about 200 people who
demanded the delivery of the two Barb
ers. The Sheriff was Obdurate. They
then proceeded to the door of the court
house and smashing it In were soon in
side. There were now two doors between
the outlaws and the mob, who immedt-
ateIy procured crOwbaf and sledge and
commenced operations on the doors. 1t
took over two hours for them to get at
the BARRIERS. At midnight, after break
ing the door down, the desperadOes were
taken through the hall to the stairs, one
of them being dragged part Of the way
down the long stairway. After getting
into the street the BARRIERS were allowed
to make confession. Bill Barber said
he had never killed q man till last fall
that they had been accused of killing
seven men in Illinois. He said this was
false Ike Barber said he had no hand
in the killing of Sheppard last fall; that
he had never killed man nor assisted
in doing so until within the past week.
The desperadOes appeared to have plenty
of grit although Bill shed few tears.
They cOnversed In a strong voice and
did not expect or ask for sympathy. The
leader of the mob was captured by the
Sheriff. The county officers did the best
they could to protect the prisoners but

that he would rather hang than to go to

soon after something drop in Myatt's
cell. The rope was made out of a shirt
neatly twisted. One end was fastened
to bar on the wall opposite his bunk.
He stood on the bunk, placed the rope
around his neck and then jumped off.
He left note to his wife, as follows:
"DEAR SARAH: loved you better than
