last Monday, by Mr.. Warner, of the Tele-
phone Exchange. He did not have long to
wait for test of the attachment, for Tues
| day night about 12 o'clock the alarm bell
rang out aloud and clear all over the house,
awakening everybody. A search OF the
premises at the time revealed nothing
wrong-all the doors and windows were
down. But yesterday Mr.. Warner made an
inspection of the premises and discovered
unmistallable proof that one of the win

changing his plans, began the study of law

the bar, in 1862 appointed assistant district
attorney for Erie county, and in 1866 was
defeated for district attorney. In 1869 he
was elected sheriff of Erie county, and
when his term expired was elected mayor

I'll, in 1881, he was elected Governor of
New York over Secretary Folger bG a ma
jOrity Of 10000, which office he now

The well-known minister, author and
journalist, Rev. Moncure d. Conway who
is about to return to the United States after
an absence Of almost twenty-five years,
says that he has become Democrat, and
will give his support to Cleveland and Hen
bricks. In answer to the question; "What
has the Democratic party done to induce
you to support itl' he makes the following
original and explicit reply: at is not
ypLat tho nan,Ocrots hova dana Lrt tbo Pc
publicans have done that causes me tC
change my allegiance, The Republicans
like Jeshuron of old, have 'waXed fat and
kicked :; they have abandoned their better
tendencies, while tie Democratic party
during its long absence from power, has
t increased its moral force. Not only that
they have purged the party Of some OF it;
: worst elements. The mere set-seekerE
Q have become tired of waiting for politica
G preierment drought Democratic success
o and have joined the winning side, conse
quently the prominen. leaders in the Dem
ocratic party now are men OF genuine con
, victloD, who have stuck to their party be
: cause they believe it right, and not as BON
hunters" Mr.. Conway expresses the feel
ings of hundreds of thousands in this reply
and much better than they could express
themselves. 1t It's not so much question o
leadership this year with the great masses
of the voting population. 1t is a question
{ of parties.
The fact that Gen. Neal Dow, the fore
most among Temperance workers in the
country, has bolted the Maine Prohibition
e nomination and is an enthusiastic support
| er of Blaine and Logan, is significant. Gen
r Dow says "The temperance men o
l.. Maine, Kansas and Iowa occupy on eXcep
e tional position in relation to Prohibition
0 In these States the Republican party ha
d adopted Prohibition as an important par
+ of its platform, and is in favor of such leg
), islation." Therefore. he says, there is N
: reason why true Prohibionsts should no
8 vote for the Republican party. The fac
that Blaine is q prominent representative
8 of the Republican party in Maine, Stat
. in which, under the control Of this party
the existing stringent Prohibition law
= were enacted and maintained for thes
: many years, this fact is not calculated t.
