AT last. Governor Cleveland coniesses by his
acts that he cannot afford to be held an accom-
Mice of Sheriff Davidson. His organs now as
sert that. on the oath or 2Gth of September, he
served copies of the charges against the sheriff
upon that officer, and summoned him to answer
within twenty days thereafter. BY this step
the Governor admits that the testimony, of
which 900 pages were placed before him long
ago. was of such character as to compel action
on his part. Nevertheless for months he re-
fused to look at it. Sheriff Davidson had power
to control votes in a State Convention; until
the Convention had been held the Governor re-
fused to read the testimony. Sheriff Davidson
bad power to control votes IN the National Con
vcntion in order to secure those votes the
Governor refused to read the testimony. The
same Sheriff. and the corrupt ring which ne
controls, have had power to influence the work
ing of political machinery i'll this city. During
all the earlier stages of the campaign down To
this late date, the Governor has refused to per-
form his duty, and even now allows Sheriff
Davidson until October IA or 1G to make
answer to the charges against him. 1t Is IL
curious circumstance, if this answer Is TO be
made on the very day that the Ohio and West
Virginia elections may decide the fate of Grover
Cleveland, and thus lessen his sense OF depend
ence upon the indicted official
There can be no misunderstanding of this
business among candid and rational men The
Governor has not refused to consider this matter
So long, has not deferred action until the Presi-
dental campaign is near its end. has not care

other statesmen of largo experience. But there
seems to be some special reason for the refusal Oh
Pennsylvania Democrats to indOrse him.

Republican gains in town elections in Conncct-
cut do not satisfy the Democrats who are naturally
inclined to make light of them. The truth Is that
the town elections in that state always have
peculiar significance. The Importance OF the town
government, carrying with 1t as that government
does the control of the ballot boxes, has led TO
more thoroughly organized effort at local
elections in that State than in almost any Other
For many years the shrewdest politicians on both
sides in Competent have regarded the town cleo
tons az afforing very correct indication OF forth
coming results in tho State not merely because
they indicate. the opinion Of the people so closely,
but because the control of the election machinery
prevents the characteristic frauds to which the
Democrats in that as in other States generally re-
sort whenever they have the power. The indica-
tons OF the recent town elections therefore OF
Importance. AMI Justify the strong confidence of
the friends Of Nr. Blaine that the electoral vote OF

Wendell Phillips Dead.

THE GREAT ORATOR AND AGITATOR
PASSES QUIETLY AWAY.
Wendell Phillips died at his Boston
home Saturday evening of heart dis
ease, the same trouble that carried off
his father and three brothers. He had
been in failing health for Il year, and
those who heard his Grafton at the I'M
yelling of the Harriet Martineau statue,
Dec. %, were struck with his feeble
ness, the richness having gone out of
his voice, and the fire and spirit from
his manner. He was y years old,
having been born in Boston November
%, 1871. He was the son of John
Phillips, the first mayor of the city :;
he went to the public schools, aud was
graduated from Harvard in 1881.
Mr.. Phillips had sharp attack of
angina pectoris a week ago Saturday.
Until Wednesday there were strong
hopes of his recovery. He was then
told 10y the doctor that his end was
approaching. Doctor he said, ~
have no fear of death. | am willing TO
die to-day as well as at any time, but
for my poor wife had hoped should
have outlived her" He then spoke of
his pain "as if some one had clutched
me by the throat" On Thursday he
grew worse and it was thought he
would not live through the night, but
he rallied again. He called for NOR
phine or chloroform, and was given
an anesthetic, which gave him consid-
cradle relief. The terrible pains re-
turned Friday evening, and then passed
away, and he had comfortable night.
Saturday afternoon about four he at
tempted to rise, but tainted. He
rallied, however, little, and while he
regained consciousness he did not
speak His pain seemed to be over.
