The Democratic Cat. Fight.

are ready. in their first burst Of passion,
to fling prudence to the winds. and de-
stroy any chance for party reconcilia-
ton. even if they thereby make certain
the loss of the Presidential election. is
pretty evident. The Free Press air lady

This is the foolishness of passionate

have q permanent effect. Democrats
who are not free traders will not be
won to free trade bv this angry abuse.
The Democratic party can not carry
elections by .'sloughing OFF, lone fifth

a violent quarrel in its own ranks. and
attempting to kick over some of its here

THE HAN.HANDLE WRECK.

A Train Load of Passengers Placed in Jeo.
pardy to Crafty . Personal Grudge
Against the Road.
DAYTON, O., April IL.
There can now be no reasonable doubt
chat the recent Panhandle wreck was
the work of miscreant who had grudge
against the road. Detective John Murphy,
of Columbus, who is here to. day, was met
by your correspondent and stated that
every indication points to this conclusion.
The rail which wrecked the train was
loosened by the spikes being drawn from
the outside. 1t was evidently done
by an experienced railroad man. Yes
terday a clew to the man was
discovered, who is described as
about thirty-ave years old, heavy
set and wearing dark mustache, who
was seen about the place of the wreck
short time before it occurred. He broke
into the Toulouse near the bridge, and
with the implements secured there
toosened the rail. The tools were
found in the woods, 100 yards from
the scene of the wreck, to-day, covered
with leaves, etc. 1t is supposed that he
came to this city. There is an intima-
ton that the wreck is the work of
Narrow-Gauge strikers in this city, but
there is no proof to indicate the truth of
it.

A Good Deal Of IIl-FeeIing.

The struggle for committed delega-
tons to the Chicago Republican Con-
vention is developing a good deal of
ill-feeling. The ground In New York
is being actively and thoroughly
worked BY the partisans of the Presi-
dent It is rather early for the work
Arthur courts the nomination, and the
support OF his own State is an absolute
prerequisite 10 his securing it. He must
be backed by New York if he is to pre-
sent himself at Chicago with any
chance of success, and this explains the
early efforts of his friends to secure a
pledged delegation in that State. And
it is complained that they are not work
ing fairly that they are stealing the
delegations. The delegates to Chicago
are to be chosen by Congressional dis
tricts, and it is said the Arthur parti-
sans are attempting to prevent district
conventions from being held, and to
at the time the State Convention
is held. They are also decoying
prominent Half breeds into the
support of Arthur by tie tempting
offer of Federal offices. Some of these

A Touching Statement.

e. r. :. g
President Arthur secures the vote
of louisiana in the June convention"
says guileless innocent of the Repub-
lican persuasion, .'because his policy
has been so honest. wise and moderate
as to conciliate the discordant elements
which distracted the country during the
early part of his term" 7#ssg
This is indeed touching, The thought
of the Louisiana Republicans rallying
spontaneously to testify to their admira-
ton for Arthur and his "hOnest, wise
and moderate policy" is calculated to
stir the deepest emotions of the trusting
partisan heart and irradiate the politi-
cal horizon with golden CLEAN OF hope
and trust in a coming millennium.
Unfortunately, however, there Is no
excuse for indulgence in so enhancing
vision. President Arthur's attain
ment of the Louisiana vote bears no
such golden-tinted. rainbow-hued sig
nificanee. It is due wholly and solely
to the machine" and is really about
as disreputable piece of business as
the President has ever permitted his
name to be mixed up with.
At the head of the list of delegates is
William Pitt Kellogg, who is under in
dictment for alleged completely in the
Star-routc frauds, and whose immunity
from prosecution is widely attributed to
the unwillingness of Arthur's Admins
tration to go to the bottom of those
frauds. His three associates as dele
gates-at-large are Federal office4hold-
ers, indebted to Arthur for their posi-
tions as Collector, Surveyor and Naval
Officer of the port of New Orleans
And of the other delegates, twelve i'm
number. it is currently stated that all
but two are also Federal Office holders.
A delegation so constituted does not
mean intelligent unsought approval Of
President Arthur or of bis policy It
means convention manipulated In his
interests and carried by the same dis
reputable means to which the "ma-
chine" has always resorted in sucn
cases. b. " ezz.s4sss 3.s.sls{ EYts
1t means something more. It means
fragrant disregard in President
Arthur's interest, by men officially re.
sponsible to him as the Executive head
OF the Government, of the, Executive
order which forbids Federal officers ia.
take part in the management of political
organization or caucuses. That order
was undoubtedly violated in the organi-
cation OF the Louisiana convention. It
will be violated again if the Federal
officials chosen by that convention sit
as delegates at Chicago. It is Presi-
dent Arthur's duty to punish the dis
obedience already shown II is his
duty to prevent any further disobedi-
ence. But there is not tho slightest
reason to believe he win do either.--De-
trost Free Press.

\ NOBLEMAN IN JAIL.

\ English Baronet Comes to Grief.
On May 2nd last a young man who
brOadened his as, rolled his RS, and had
other certificates of blue blood like unto
these, came into the private parlor of
William j. Vinegar & Co., bankers, at
Palatka He unfolded a wonderful tale,
of which the following is the substance
His name was Cecil E. Byrne, and his
rank in England was that of baronet.
He had always lived in London, at his
fathers residence, and was alone in
the world, with the exception of a guard
ian uncle. His mother had long been
dead. and his father was killed during
8he Ashanree war, nobly battling for his
country's glory, etc. His uncle was Sir
Sunbeam, whose voyage round the world
had made so much noise The party
himself had come over from England in
February; spent a few days in New
York. had heard Of Florida, and fastened
to see us. He came on the Mallory Line
to Fernandina, thence by rail to Jackson
vile, and thence on the steamer Plant,
of the DeBary-Baya Line, to Sanford.
How he had found so much to admire
that he could not leave without makir q
an investment, and had exhausted his
letters of credit to pay The thousand dollars
fOra grove, drawing through the Lyman
Bank; how he then cabled his uncle In
London, but needed some money now for
use till more could arrive, verify these
things and many more he told He di-
rected the cashier 10 cable a banking firm
in southampton Buildings, E. c. Lon
don, where arrangements would be i'm
mediately made so that he would have
ample credit. All which seemed so
plausible that the cashier handed him
one hundred dollars while waiting the
answer to his cable message, and the
titled stranger obligingly shook hands
with the proud cashier. Sir Cecil Byrne
then got on some good clothes, went to
Messrs. Calhoun. ellis & Calhoun, where
he signed a contract, allowing one hun
dred and fifty dollars per month to the
man selected to manage a grove about 10
be bought near Welaka, went to a good
