Jamestown weekly alert. [volume] (Jamestown, Stutsman County, D.T. [N.D.]) 1882-1925, 1884-05-23

PUBLIC interest is now about equally
divided between anxiety over the repub-
lican situation and amusement over the
democratic kilkenny contest on the sa1ce
subject. There is very earnest effort
among the republican aspirants for the
honor Of leading. the party to success in
the pending campaign, and thc various
probabilities that can be deduced from the
situation is trying to the politicians and
vexatiOus to the spirits of the aspirants.
One day Blame is conceded to be ahead
and the next Arthur, while third brings
out Of the darkness an Edmunds, Lo.
gan, or some one else still more obscure
in tie unknown quantities of the political
equation.
The democrats are III like perplexity
but from different cause. The honor of
leading that ancient relic OF our rational
politics to defeat at the polls is coming to
be regarded as an empty one and its GER
tainty is likewise becoming monotonous.
The political gravcstones of the unbroken
succession OF the last twenty years in this
line all bear the same epitaph, not that
the candidates themselves were bad men,
nor even that they were not great men,
but like Poor Tray, they were caught in
bad company. The fatal embrace Of de-
mocracy has downed Douglas, a Breck
enridge, Mcclellan, Seymour, Gree
ley, Tilden and Hancock within the
last twenty years and the very natural cry
of "spare us!' IS gong up from the lead
ers Of the party, who do not think they
have outllved their usefulness, all over
the country. There is a combined efolt
being made to resurrect Tilden for the
sacrifice again this campaign but the old
man is inclined to stand on his right of
exemption on account of the previous
sacrifice. On the generally accepted
theory that "fools will venture where
angels fear to tread" it might be good
plan for the national gathering of bour-
bon sachems at Chicago on the Sth Of
July to nominate Henri Watterson, the
free trade prophet Of Kentucky. He
would no doubt accept it with more graft
tude than any one else and the party GER
talnly has no MEMBER it could better af
ford to kill off with the distinguishing
death warrant than this wild ass of the
blue grass region.
That grand old Roman of the party,
Thurman, of Ohio, is too good man, and
his past long life of eminent and honest
service 30 his country deserves better
fate than the democratic nomination for
president this year. The solid statesman
and patriot, Bayard. of Delaware, has too
much usefulnes before him to be sacri-
feed. Randall, of Pennsylvania, is toe
| smart to accept 1t, as he can extract more
glory and infinitely more satisfaction
from pulling q cold deck on the free trade
cranks of the party in congress when the
pig iron interests of the Keystone state
require it. Ben. Butler, of Massachu-
sets, would take the nominatlon for the
same reasons of kleptomania that he man
lfested for silver spoons down IN New
Orleans, but he IS so much smarter than
Wattersou that 1t would be idiocy for the
party to offer him up and let the un,amed
blue grass bourbon live TO torment them
in the future.

The resolutions adopted by the terrific
rial democratic convention at Pierr. are
in the main good and with slight modlf-
cation in q few instances are the scnti-
mcnts, principles and objects Of the re-
publican party. He is very narrow
minded partisan whe cannot see anything
good IN the platform of an opposing par
ty, and he ls "fool friend" of the repub.
lican party who will not agree with the
democrats IN proposition upon which
there is no dispute between the parties
merely because the propositen comes
from democratic source.
There is no intelligent republican COM
batting "the cardinal principles Of democ-
racy as expounded by Thos. Jefferson
and the other ilustrious fathers of tn
republic so far as they are applicable to
the country now
The controlling elements of both par
ties substantially agree with each other
and the masses OF each in about like pro-
portion disagree among themselves upon
the tariff question. The endorsement of
the MORRISON horizontal tarln reduction
bill by the Pierre convention would very
likely be agreed to by the republican par
ty in the territory but neither party could
go very far beyond the limits of the terri
tory in such endorsement.
The latter clause of the Pierre platform
tariff resolution, advocating revision OF
the tariff law with view Of relieving the
necessaries of life and increasing the free
list IS one which president Arthur recon-
mended IN his last message and has no
more opposition from the republicans
than from the democrats.
1t IS unnecessary to add assertion to all
the past record of the republican party to
assure the soldier element that the repub-
s l,can party is always in advance of the
democratic party in every movement for
their benefit
but an endorsement of the policy now be-
ing carried out by the republican party.
In the matter of sumptuary laws there
is perhaps something Of an issue in which
party lines may be distinguished in some
localities, but generally speaking both
parties, as national political organiza-
tions, are alike indifferent upon the sub
ject Of stomach legislation.
AS to honest money the Pierre demo-
Gratis over reached little in claiming to
be the champions of that financial idea.
1t is only few years back since they
were opposing with all their power the
measures of the republican party for the
resumption of specie payments. In this
they are champloning cause won by the
republican party over their almost united
opposition few years ago This was the
last resolution of their platform and it Is
not to be wondered at that they run out of
wind in formulating 1t. This resolution
IN its claims for the democratic party is
principally noted for lis gall

train on the Huntingdon & Broad-Top road
was crossing the bridge over the Juniata
river at Ssxton, it struck girl named Lot
tie Boyce, aged IA years. cutting off both her
arms, and infiieting other injuries regarded
as fatal The point at which the girl was
struck could be seen from the engine for dis
tance of 500 yards. A crowd gathered about
the station, and threats of lynchihg were
made. In the afternoon preparations were
made for executing these threats. The num-
ber of people increased during the day and at
4:4S, the hour for Engineer Graw's arrival,
the mob spirit was high. Graw had, however,
been warned of his danger, and stepped off at
Riddleburg. On the arrival OF his train
the crowd made rush for the engine, only
to find another engineer in charge. They
then went through the train, searching every
car and threatening vengeance
