others-who have come out for Blaine since
that event may be mentioned Lewis Torrey,
chairman OF the Democratic City Committee,
three Councilmen, IN ex.member OF the Legis-
lature, the City Auditor, the clerk OF the over
eeers OF the Poor, an editor and an ex-Oity
Councilman.
Mr.. Torrey said: "Yes, 1 am chairman OF the
Democratic City Committee, but shall resign,
as cannot vote for Cleveland, but Will vote for
Blaine. Cleveland has, IN no respect, shown
himself as an exponent OF Democratic prlncl-
ples, but rs nothing but Know Nothing Dem
ocret, OF which there are too many in the
party"
Ex.Representativo Gilmartin said "Do you

FRANK HURD has no concealments to
to make or shufiling to do in regard to the
Democratic platform. When asked about
the conflict in the Committee on Resolu-
tions over the platform he replied
"In the committee Mr.. Converse moved to sub
stituto the Ohio platform, which provides for
incidental protection. II was voted down-3O
TO q. Ho then proposed to insert the OHIO
plank as to the restoration OF duty on wool,
which was also voted down by n large major
lily. motion was made by a member OF the
committee to strike out the word 'exclu-
sively.' Tho majority against this was only
two. After these defeats OF this element Of
the committee they considered the propriety
OF making minority report, but as under
stood became satisfied they would be over
whelmingly beaten In the. convention, and
that their position would be better while they
remained In the Democratic party by appear
ing 10 be content with the platform, as ma
1ority had agreed upon II, than by carrying
the combat into the convention, where they
would be defeated. The action OF the commit
tee to which l have referred shows conclu-
sively that IL was their intention to exclude
from the platform everything that looked like
protection OF any kind"
Thus We have it on good authority, oven
from high brigadier in the party, that
everything like protection was voted down
in the committee, and, as Mr.. Hurd under
stands 1t, an ultra, exclusive free-trade
platform was adopted. Very we'll. The
Republicans are ready to meet them on
that issue and SO are the laborers and op-
eratives Of the country. The verdict in
November will knock the life out of that
platform, the party that made it, aud tho
candidates who stand on it.

Mr.. John ]. Shipman, the woll-known
contractor, had narrow escape with his
life last Tuesday night at his homo, about
one and a-half miles from Langley, Va.
He was sitting on the porch with his son
and daughter about 8 o'clock in the even

the dog became disturbed and indicated
that there werc strangers about. Mr.. Ship
man encouraged tho dog, who started of
the porch followed by his master. After he
had gotten few feet away from tho steps

were fired, and ono ball passed through the

WHAT 10 tho meaning OF this talk about VIM.
Dickson, OF Washington, ID. o., as n candidate
for secretary OF the National Democratic Com.
mittee? Dickson was the foreman OF the nrst
star-Route grand Jury. He was indicted for
bribery. All his Affiliations are with the star
Route crowd, and, as matter OF course, he is
hand and glove with Steve Elkins. He Is q
tattooed man and he should be permitted to
pass on tho other side.-NeO York World.
We do not know whether Mr.. VIM. Dick
son is q candidate for the secretaryship of
the National Democratic Committee or not.
We do know that he is gentleman and an
honest, brave man. That is great deal
more than either the editor or proprietor Of
the New York World can say truthfully Of
themselves. We do know that Dickson has
never murdered any man, and that is more
than the editor of the World can say. We
do know that Mr.. Dickson was not FORE
man of the first or second Star-Route grand
jury. He was, however, foreman of the
first StGr-Route petit jury. We do know
that he was not indicted for bribery. The
whole paragraph is barefaced lie, emanat-
ing from source so corrupt that 1t only
needs to be mentioned that its author may
be despised by all honest men. THE CRITIC
