OF the republican faith who are repealed
by the most nwise choice made at Chicago
lasf month will find no difficulty in voting
for him, since he is one OF the best repre-
sentatlves now to he found in public life
ef those admins rative principles and re-
forms to which they are committed. A
democrat who has made enemies of the
most disreputable elements of his own

leans, even when he is candidate for

Cleveland. In opposing Mr. Blaine it

watched the career of the candidate nomi-
mated at Chicago Friday, and it has entire
confidence in his probity, in his intelli-

ought to be the next President of the
United SAFES and we believe he will be.
The nomina ion of Thomas A. Hend-
rlcks as the democratic candidate for

enthusiasm among those democrats who
count the year of grace 1876 as the begin

them forth fully in his ietter of acceptance.
We shall he very glad to learn that he is in

The Hon. Hart b. Holion Desitiyeiy

The Hon. Hart B. HolIon positively an
nounced to a Baltimore Sun reporter in
Washington on Wednesday that he will
not be candidate for Congress this fall.
Mr.. Holton said that he would no. be pull
ed and hauled about again as he had been
during the past six months for the entire
State OF Maryland. He would be willing
he said, to come to Congress again as q
Represe otative from one Of the Territories
or far Western State, where his constitu-
ents could not get at him, hut otherwise
he has had enough of Congress as Repre-
sentative from district so close to the
Capital as the fifth district of Maryland
We rather suspect that the united front
presented by the Democrats in the district
this fall has something to do with Mr.
Holton's determination. but doubtless
there is much force in what he says. The
spoils system is terrible evil, but we hope
that with the next Congress a new order
of things will be established and that
thenceforth Congressman may be rid OF
the most indecent importantly fer office
which now prevails at Washington. Mr.
Holton's declination, we believe, means
an easy victory for the Democrats in the
5th district this fall.

Just after Cleveland's nomination on
Friday, says the Baltimore Sun, there was
a violent thunderstorm, which purified
the atmosphere and made the temperature
more agreeable. This may be taken as an
indication of the way Cleveland will pur-
ify the political and governmental atmos-
phere. His thunderbolts will crash among
guilty officials, his official Lightning may
strike many high heads, and the Republi-
cans who are out in the shower are likely
to get pretty wet But the country will
be better for the purifying process, and
everybody will rejoice except corrupt Of
ficeholders and Others who do not like to
be clean.

The Boston Herald, Republican jour,
nal, in speaking of the Chicago nomina-
tions says: "In nominating Gov. Cleve-
land for President the Democratic party
has displayed the wisdom of its opportu-
nifty, as the Republican party in nomina-
ting Mr.. Blaine manifested the audacity
of its desires. 1t certainly looks like the
beginning of the end of the Republican
party as at present organized and led
On the whole, change is desirable. We
take it as reasonably certain that Gov.
Cleveland will be elected. The indepen-
dent voters will all support him. The re-
voted Republicans have named him as
the one Democrat for whom they could
vote. The Democracy at last deserves
success.

A Murderous Pedlar.

Wood Haven, L. l., February L.
There is great excitement here over
Philip Fox, a pedlar who, failing to
making a sale to Mr.. Julia A. Kellar,
seized the woman by the throat and
choked her to insensibility. When the
woman recovered she raised tue alarm
and a number OF people started in
pursuit and captured Fox.
The assault followed so quickly upon
the Maybee murder and the Townsend
and Sprague outrages that the people
clamored for the l%ynching of Fox, that
a speedy end may be put to the Long
Island rage for attacking defenceless
women and aged men. An officer
succeeded in getting Fox into Jail.

Alliance, Ohio, February IA
frightful gasoline explosion occurred
in I. M. Orr's stove and tin store here
to-day, demolishing the building and
burying in the ruins an unknown num-
Der Of people. Four persons have
been extracted and four more are
known to have been inside. Men are
at work to rescue il possible those that
are still alive and to recover the bodies
of the dead. The store was in a large
new brick block in the centre of the
town. 1t is rumored that a child
turned the spigot of the gasoline tank,
and the gas escaping was ignlted by the
fire in the stove. There were several
people in the store and two families
lived on the second and third floors.
Besides those that were epgulfed in the
debris, many more are more or less SER
iously injured. The force of the ex-
plosion wrenched aud broke windows
in the entire square. The damage to
the structures is estimated at about
S75, 900.
In a few moments the flames arose
from the ruins and a fire alarm was
sounded. Such excitement prevailed
that the fire gained SO much Roadway
as to nearly consume the ruins, and
burned two houses before it was under
control. Meanwhile the scene wal
narrowing in the extreme. 1t was
known that six or more people were
killed or then Imprisoned in the wreck
and would perish by fire. Men, women
and children. relatives OF the inmates
of the buildings destroyed, wandered
about in despair at their inability to
AYE the unfertunates.
T. NJ. Orr, Elmer Orr, his son, Mrs.
Homer Highland and daughter, Mrs.
Frank Evans and two children, aged
2 and 4 months, were known to have
been in the building at the time of the
explosion. These all persisted. The
women and children we're in the second
and third stories, and are supposed to
have been killed by falling walls. Mr..
Orr and his son were both spoken to
while confined under the debris, but
were burned to death. These bodies
were all recovered at 10 O'Clock to-
night, and were crushed or charred so
as to be hardly recognizable. The
only person in the Orr building known
to have escaped was Frank Evans,
whose wife and children persisted.
Besides those killed, the following
have broken limbs or are cut and
bruised by flying bricks, etc:
Robert Joyce, Frank Evans, Frank
Fries, ]. D. Lewis, Jerry Miller, Mag
gle Miller and John Baker.
The explosion was caused from
fumes of gasoline. A child of Mr..
Orr's turned the fawcet in the barrel
and the fluid al out on the floor. MI.
Orr was hopping it up when the gas
arising therefrom ignited from the gas
light.
John Curry and Charles H. Hayden,
of Duprez's minstrels, we're blown out
Of Orr's store, through a plate glass
window, and carried clean across the
street, where they were picked up,
badly injured, and carried to a hotel.
They will recover
The damage is estimated at from
$50, 900 to $4,000; partially insured
Business was entirely suspended in tn,
city after the explosion.

Pittsburg, February 1.-The river
reached its highest state this morning
at IL O'Clock. when the marks register
ed twenty-one feet. Por tions OF the
lowlands at Allegheny City and the
south side are under water, but no SER
ious damage resulted to property. The
waters are now receding and as the
weather is freezing, nc more trouble is
anticipated.
At several points on the Youghio-
gheny bottom the lands are inundated
and families living on them have been
compelled to retire to the second floor
Of their houses, or wade out waist deep
through the water. At FreepoIt
on the Allegheny, the ice piled up
thirty feet high, and for a time it was
thought the town would be flooded,
but a gorge was started shortly before
midnight and the water obtaining an
outlet, soon fell to the proper level. The
Allegheny ice reached here at 8 this
morning and since then has been
steadily passing out.

The Late Wreck.

Indianapolis, February 1.-The o r
oner this afternoon began the inquiry
over the remains of the FIVE bodies re-
covered from the wreck yesterday on
the Air Line railway at Broad Ripple.
Three witnesses were examined. The
testimony shows the bridge to be made
of good material and properly CON
structed. The workmen were repairing
the bridge and had removed several
permanent supporting rods, supplying
their place with temporary rods, which
is claimed was not good enough to
hold the structure. 1t is generally
thought the accident was caused by
weakening the bridge, the result of
removing the permanent rods. The
railroad company has two attorneys to
represent it at the inquest. The bodies
recovered were taken to their places Of
residence to-day for burial. The body
OF Parr, bridge foreman, has not yet
been recovered. Semans and Clarke,
the men seriously hurt, are still alive,
but the latter's chances of recovery are
very slender.
