ence OF 1872, when the detection OF
Sumner and Schurz, Greeley and Pal
mer, Trumbull and Curtin, Chase and
Tipton, and hundreds Of able Republican
leaders made no visible impression on
the fortunes of their party. But the
circumstances are very different. Then
the Independent Republicans led OF,
named their candidates, and the great
Democratic party tied to Republican
faction. Now 1t is the organized Demo-
cratic party, with its millions of voters,
that makes the nominees, lays down the
platform, invites and commands the
support of the dissatisfied Republicans.
This is putting the horse before the cart
and no such awkward and inconsistent
arrangement as that OF 1872 was.
AS the campaign progresses the nature
of the existing relations of parties and
of men with them will come TO be better
understood and the significance of yes
terday's work will be more clearly
recognized. Then it will he seen that
the wave which has started in New
York has strength to spread all over tn
country. The revolt Of twelve years
ago undoubtedly loosed party ties, but
the conviction then was not nearly SO
General as now that the Republican
party had finished its work and must
no longer cumber the ground. The
revolt has developed into a revolution.

A ghastly discovery was made in the
Schuylkill river, near NorristOwn, Tues
day, which may lead to the solution OF the
mystery surrounding the disappearanee OF
tho body of John May, the murderer and
suicide. Joseph Morgan and William Nc
Cracken were fishing in tho river at
Mageetown, about mile below Norris
town, in the afternoon, when they saw
trunk at the bottom of the river, which
they fished up and proceeded to open,
when q sickeuing sight met their eyes.
Under q layer OF clothing aud covered
with mud and slime were fragments OF
a mans body in a state OF decomposi
tion, Tho trunk was heavily loaded
with stones. II was taken to the Office oil
Dr.. Bradley, corOner's physician, where
the remains were identified as those OF
John May. A sleeveless coat, the material
of which oorresponded with sleeve found
at Mays grave in Potter's field, at the
timo OF the grave robbery, was about the
only means OF Identification, as no portion
of the remains was larger than man a
hand. The entire affair Is associated with
most disgusting details;
A portion OF tho flesh which dropped
from the trunk on the river bank was
eaten by dogs. The trunk bore a fhila

addressed TO Mageetown, but the name oil

LouAs's GREAT LETTER.
Its Midnight march Across tho Uontin Ell


Philadelphia Times.
The history OF the presidential cam.
paign of 1884 will contain no more
thrilling chapter than that which records
the midnight march Of Logan's letter Of
acceptance. The great commander had
prepared with the utmost care this magni.
fceut body of four thousand words, all of
the most expensive character, and at mid
night Of Monday, Chicago time-bcing one
hour after midnight on the Atlantic slope
he started IL forth 10 deyastato the
land. Logan himself was moving in q
contrary direction, on his way to enkindle
the tumultuous West, but he trusted the
letter 70 the wires.
For hours and hours on that memorable
night the great army Of adiectives was
moving across the country. II was divided
into detachmeuts, with true military fore
sight, each detachment occupying single
wire but as tho night advanced and the
lines became Obstructed by the heavy
artillery OF Logan's mOnstrOus periods,
the columns fell into confusion. IL was no
longer a compact letter, IL was dolorOus
arrangement OF epitaphs that began 70
straggle into the newspaper offices at about
the time OF going TO press. The unex
pected attack had doubtless been well
planned, bus time aud circumstances were
against it. Blaine's deliberate advance
had carried the columns of the newspapers,
but night editors are not to be taken by
surprise. Time, the telegraph and the
blue pencil together were too much for
Logan's letter, aud the Fragments OF II
that reached tho public yesterday were
but a melancholy remnant of the proud
array of rhetorical extrayagances that
started out 30 gaily.

the cultivation Of tobacco. Ihe un

An Explanation From the Maxim Company.
The lamp committee held their regular
meeting last evening. From tho bill of
tho gasoline company Sll06 was deducted
for lights not burning, aud s249 80 was
taken from the bill of the electric light
company.
A letter from ono of tho officers Of the
electric light company to the chairman OF
the committee was read, IL stated that
tho lack of light in this city for tho past
two weeks was owing TO the loss OF the
armature at the works, which was burned
by lightning. They did all in their power
to secure another, but owing to the un'
usually severe storms throughout the
country great number had been burned.
They therefore had to wait until one
could be made aud it was then shipped.
The writer says that they are very sorry
for tho state of affairs in this city for the
past two weeks, and hopes that all Is now
