Building Burned and "a

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 6.-The details
of the burning of the Institute OF
the Immaculate Conception, Sis

ILL.,, last night are still meagre.-
About 60 pupils were in the
school, ranging from 10 years to
full grown, all girls, and several
teachers and other inmates of the
building. The fire i. said to have
started in the rear of the third
story. which was used as a dorm
itory, and an attempt was made
by the sisters to extinguish it, but
this failing, efforts were made to
remove the pupils. The flames
spread so rapidly, however, that
no order could be preserved. A
panic seized both children and
sisters and there was wild, con-
fused rush to escape. Forty or
more pupils are known to hive
got out, Or were taken from the
bu: lding and given shelter in
neighboring houses, but several

windows, and were either killed
or badly injured. |

The scene at The fire was one

CLEVELAND AND BLAINE-STop AND
THINK.-Esteemed friends demonstrate with
us for supporting Cleveland. What would
they have? To support Butler would be
to support Blaine; to support Blaine is alto
gether against our grain. Even if there be
objections to Cleveland, for Heavens sake
see how they fade when compared with the
horrible features of Blaine's record! Blaine
was a know-Nothing editor; he was
Buckshot Fosters ally against ParneI;
he was the defamer of Archbishop Hughes
he circulated the Madigan circular
to light a flame of bigotry against
Catholics but nine years ago; that same
year, in 1875, he introduced in Congress
sectarian amendment to the Constitution OF
the United States in 1871 he made an
Orange speech in Saratoga on the subject OF
the twelfth Of July riots. There is no escape
for US we must face this most repulsivc
character Of modern politics we must OPP
pose him by supporting his only opponent.

WHEN OLD Mr.. Martin, the venerable and
respected president of the Manufacturers
and Traders Bank of Buffalo, introduced
Governor Cleveland to the immense throng
Of people who had assembled to greet him
on his recent visit to his home, he said, ad-
dressing him:
1--WE, your old friends and neighbors, bear
ing towards you the full measure of high
personal esteem, rejoice to know that in
this bitter campaign not one reputable man
has yet been able to point to one solitary
act of your administration and pronounce it
subject to just criticism; that not one repu.
table man has been beard to say that in any
one single official act yon have made the in-
tsrests Of party or of self superior to the
public good or for one instant forgotten that
your Office was sacred and solemn trust

the whole people"

wart element of the republican party is to
play prominent part in determining the
result of the present campaign, and that
the independent republicans who will vote
for Cleveland will far exceed any addition the
Irish American element may give Blaine"
Yes, it is the stalwart republicans, whose
enmity Mr.. Blaine incurred by bis OPP

republicans, who will not support for Pres

ACCORDING to the special correspondent

astonished at the ovation. according to
this writer. He is liable to stir the hearts
of women and children" and women
crowd and push, cheering for Blaine;" and
q heap more such stuff. When the Saviour
entered Jerusalem a great multitude pre-
ceded and followed him, throwing their
garments in his way and strewiug the road
with branches, yet two or three days after
wards this same multitude were the fore

we should think, in his own language, lis
mild with excitement" The whole letter

for Congress in the 9th district, year or

SIS there white man in Virginia so low as to
be willing to seud his daughters to the same pros
tituted Puritan school marin. with the black
gals?" Is there man in Virginia so heaven
forsaken and hel-deserving as to be willing to
see great, big, sinking negro wench sit on the
same seat in the cars with his daughter? Is there
q white man in Virginia who will retain negro
in his employ when he knows he will vote for
sll these things, and even for his disfranchise
ment?'
And still every negro man in that district
will vote for Mr.. Bailey, and every negro
man In the other districts, with the possible
exception of the Petersburg and Norfolk
districts, will vote for the Malone candi-
dates, all of whom at the time referred to
thought, if they did not speak, just as Mr..
Bailey did. Fortunately, but few white
people will vote for Mr.. Bailey, because he
is openly charged with bribery, because
even Malone says he is ''untruthful, igno-
rant, and an arrogant ass" and because he
not only ate bushel of dirt 10 a vain effort
to get Siudgeship, but was foolish enough
to acknowledge that fact 10 u letter over his
own signature, which letter is now in the
hands of his opponents.
