The Truth OF Ii.

Mr.. Watterson and some other radi
Gals Of his school are beating their tom
toms In the West and Southwest and
telling how they got all they wanted at
Chicago. Mr.. Randall and Mr.. Hewitt,
who hold somewhat diverse views
on economic questions, and who
alike differ as widely from Mr..
Watterson as from each other
on the tariff, express themselves
heartily satisfied with the Demo
cratic platform. All of which indicates
not only delightful condition of party
harmony; but, what We have held
along, that the differences among the
Democrats on the tariff we're not nearly
30 radical as imagined, nor 81 vital as to
endanger party harmony nor prevent
party success.
1t will be just as well, however, in the
interest OF all these considerations, for
Mr.. Watterson to curb his propensity to
talk too much with his mouth. The Chi
cago convention was not disposed TO ap
prove the Morrison bill, nor to condemn
the Democrats who did not vote for it.
That was clearly shown by the emphatic
manner In which resolution of such
effect was laid under the table. The
sub committee on resolutions, under the
inspiration of Mr.. Watterson, was dis
posed to ignore any reference to the in
terests Of American labor and the gen
eral committee, at the instance of Mr.,
Hay, the Pennsylvania member, correct
ed this omission, by qualifying the clause
favoring tax reform with the expression,
without depriviug American labor of
the ability to compete successfully with
foreign labor"
These essential words saved the plat
form and made General Buffers dissent
unnecessary and his minority report
superiluous. The convention heartily
ratified them, especially after Mr.. Wat
terson's frank avowal that he had never
been and was not free trader, and after
Mr.. Converse, who had ardently opposed
the Morrison bill, made an earnest
speech for the adoption of the platform.
MIR. Watterson shows the ardor of q
Kentucky lover for his star eyed god
dess Of revenue REFORM" and nobody is
going to quarrel with him about her {;
but he may as well relate the story of the
Chicago platform as it happened and not
as he wanted 1t made.

twenty-five Passengers rj ured In yGsuaIty
near canton, Obio,
n point on the ConnotOn Valley railroad
two miles east Ct Canton, Ohio, was Sat
urday night tho scene of terrible wreck
The employees OF Aultman Il Co.'S ma
chine works held their annual picnic AZ
Cuyahoga Falls, and over , 900 persons
went on the excursion. There were two
trains OF fifteen cars each. The first sec
tion arrived at Canton on its return at 20
p. m, and while hundreds of fathers,
brothers and sisters were at the station
waiting for friends and relatives on
the second section, a hatless mes
senger came running down the
track, crying that the train had been
wrecked and many of the excursionists
killed and injured The scene which
followed was OF the widest description, nd
when the wreck was reached men, women
and children ran round, wrpging their
hands and looking for their loved ones.
Nine cars we're of the track and 10 water
four feet deep. The cries of tho injured
were heartrendering. Hundreds of willing
hands Immediately set TO work and it was
found that no more than twenty. five
persons were injured; but il was impossible
TO say how many was killed, or who they
were. About dozen or more passengers
are missing and may be under the cars. A
telegraph Office has been opened near the
wreck and everything is being done
to alleviate the sutferings of the in.
jured.
The names of the injured, 80 fa- as can
be learned, are as follows Mary Schum-
sky, aged 10, feet crushed and leg broken
Albert Travel, aged le, arm broken, ches,
crushed and back injured Ella Numan
aged Is, leg broken aud internal injuries
Mrs. A. Grovemiller, severe internal in.
juries Mrs. Walker Mosely, internal in.
juries Agnes Lippert, foot crushed
Lena Habecker, internal injuries Winnie
Glass, spine injured Julius Hubecker and
wife, both sustained internal injuries
Irwin 5. Sharnafelt, head cut Charles
Hickman, head cut Mrs. Joseph Dick
internal injuries Harry Tiffe, aged II
head cut aud body crushed.
The engineer says the wreck was caused
by the track spreading, The engine wen'
over all right but tho first car jumped tn,
track and eight others followed. Thus
they were dragged distance of 200 feet
throwing the occupants from one side u
the other, and finally jumped tho small
embankment, landing III four feet of water
The doors Of the cars were then cut oper
and the people got out. Three doctor,
were on the ground attending to tn,
wounded, several of whom, they say, will
probably die.
The track at the scene Of the wreck wal
cleared, but three cars thrown into ths
mud have not yet been removed. Twenty
two persons were injured, but no deaths
have been reported, and the wounded are
doing better than could be expected. Nc
one was killed, and thoie missing and
supposed TO DO under the wreck have
turned up all right. The loss to the rail
road company is about $4,000.

Biaine's Dsn,ssogio Labor Policy.

IIEIbUUIB Ltt'IUII EkoV'
Mr.. Blaine's labor policy tends toward
the demagogic. He says wages are IN
justly reduced when an industrious man is
not able by his earnings to live in com
fort, educate his children and lay by a
sufficient amount for tho necessities of old
age. Mr.. Blaine is man of experience
enough to know that tho rate of wages il
governed by the immutable law OF supply
and demand, without regard to any ones
comfort. He also takes up the old cry
against foreign contract labor and advo
Gates what is virtually the taking away
from men tho right of individual liberty
the liberty to sell aud buy their goods and
their labor wherever they 500 it will be Il
their best interests to do so.

not only keep their own party united
