whitewash such grave offenses with
polite apologies.

Why does Mr.. Edmunds, Gov. Smith
and Judge Poland and many other
good and true men endorse Mr.. Blaine
as every way worthyf
We were not aware that Mr.. Ed
munds had done so. He merely said
that it was a strong ticket, implying
nothing. In his letter to the state con-
vention Judge Poland urged Vermont
republicans to support the ticket
because of the party and neither Ed
munds, Morrill, nor Stewart would sign
even that appeal. Gov. Smith would
naturally support Blaine. But why,
we ask in return, do George William
Curtis, President Eliot, Charles Francis
Adams, James Freeman Clarke and
"other good and true men" refuse to
support Blaine Men frequently
stand by their party for the sake OF
the organization, but they do not 60

You object to Mr.. Blaine on account
of his protective tariff principles. |
endorse him heartily on that account.
That's all right. But while we by
no means believe the country is ripe
for free trade, we do think the time
has come for a reduction of the enor-
nous surplus revenue which is piling
up in the United States treasury and
doing nobody any good. TO bring the
matter right home, the annual tax on
sugar is $50, O0O,OO0. Were it not for
this, the price of standard graduated
sugar could not exceed five and per
haps not four cents "A pound. The peO-
pie are really paying this great sum to
lie useless in the treasury for the stim-
ulation of an industry, which can
never he anything but artificial and
small, and which can never warrant
the outlay.

At meeting of the republican ma
tiOnal committee held in New York
recently to organize for the campaign.
IA permanent organization was effected
by the election of ex-senator Chaffee
of Colorado as chairman and Co! Geo.
w. Hooker of Vermont as secretary
The position To which Col. Hooker has
been elected is an important one, the
management of the campaign resting
largely i'll the secretary's hands,

Our esteemed contemporary is right in
thinking the position of secretary of
the national committee important, but
it should not dclude itself with the
idea that "Steve" Elkins knows no
better than to try to fill it with Brat
tlebor"'s eXuberant yeast powder.
Samuel Fessenden of Connecticut is
secretary of the committee.

A PROTEST AGAINST BULLDozING.


There are scores and hundreds of
Just as good men as walk, men who
have never failed to give the republi
can party hearty support, who have
cheerfully spent their money and time
to elect its candidate, and who have
been counted among the wisest and
most trusted advisers, who now, to say
the least, have not made up their minds
to vote for James G.. Blaine. Men of
this class cannot be bulldozed. They
have no favOrs to ask of the party
for themselves, and they can't be
brought into the ranks by the crack of
anybOdy's whip. The way to get them
or to keep them is to show them why
honest men can stay with us and can
not go anywhere else. We asked one
of the most influential republicans in
the state recently if he was going To
support Blaine and he replied: "Well
| don't know as | shall be allowed to,
for didn't believe in his nomination.
and whoever didn't is being drummed
out of camp" The camp is a large one.
and it is pretty full of fighters, but we
NAV need such men as this one before
the campaign ends, and it isn't best to
be in a hurry about drumming them

The above illustrates the position of
the democratic party on the question
of civil service reform. After their de-
feat in 1880 they were very sick. and
ready to take a dose on civil service
reform as prescribed by DIR. PendIeton.

Lightning At SEA.

The Schooner De MOry Gray Struck on
Cape Hatteras-Her Masts ShiYered
and Her Decks Ripped Up-A Narrow
Escape.
The schooner De Mory Gray arrived
here yesterday morning from New York
with a cargo Of bulk guano to order, after a
fifteen days passage. The vessel met
with a serious, accident, which was the
cause Of her long trip. The Captain
reports that of Cape Hatteras
on Sunday, the 9th inst, at 4 O'Clock
in the morning, in heavy rain storm the
vessel was struck BY bolt Of lightning,
which shivered the fOretOpmast. splinter
ing it in pieces, burning the fOretopsaii
and damaging the vessel so that her pro-
gress was delayed The electric fluid
continued down, after striking the fOretOp-
mast to the toremast. splitting il so that
it was rendered totally unit for use. 1t
then continued on to tHe deck, ripping up
the planking around the mast, going
into the galley and tearing it up and drIv-
Ing two large iron bolts through the deck.
1t then disappeared without any further
damage that has yet been discovered. The
Captain believed that il passed out the
galley door, which was open, and over
the side Of the ship into the sea. Another
theory is that it passed below the deck
and into the cargo of guano, where it
expended itself. Some Of the officers
think. however, that it will cause the
vessel TO leak. but as she
is making no water the Captain does not
believe that the lightning passed below
the cargo. The cook had narrow escape,
having only left the galley few moments
before the vessel was struck. Had he
been in the galley at tie time he would
have been killed. The foremost being
destroyed the vessel could only be naviga-
ted with two masts. which was rather
awkward. and caused her TO make long
passage. Her trip from Hatteras to this
port occupied eleven days.

GO-As-YOU-PLEAsE.

The FIfty-Hour Race at st. Andrews
Hall - How 1t Was Begun - Six
Pedestrians on the Track-The Score
of the First Five Hours.
The fity-hour go-as-you-please match
began at st. Andrews Hall at 8
O'Clock last night in the presence Of about
200 spectators. The contest is under the
supervision of Patrick Buttimer, who
was requested by two of the pedestrians
to manage the affair.
The hall in which the match is Nakine
place has been staked of with two lines
Of rope encircling the centre OF the hall,
where there are a number ef seats 1Or
spectators, and a platform upon when
are the tally-sheet keepers tables and seats
for the bard. Between the two lines OF
stakes is the track eight feet wide and
covered with sawdust about three inches
deep. The walkers have TO
make 50 laps to each mile. On the
outside Of the track is an open space, cir
cumscribed BY the walls of the building,
where are also a number Of seats for spec
tatOrs. Two rooms are used as dressing
rooms opening from the hall between the
main entrance.
Precisely at S. O'Clock the pedestrians
stepped upon the track. They were Patrick
Mccarthy. Thomas Carrig, George Red
gate, Fl. j. Davis, from Savannah, John Nc
Cartby. living sixteen miles from the
city on the Augusta road, and Patrick
Murphy, of Belfast, Ireland. At the word
'sgO'' they started at brisk pace,
with John Mccarthy leading on trot,
closely followed by Carrig, Patrick McCar-
thy, Davis, Murphy and Redgate in the
order mentioned. During the first half
hour they made several spurts, with Davis
finishing the first mile in 10 minutes.
Redgate and Murphy continued at
steady walk after that time, seeming to
appreciate the Importance OF saving them
selves as much as possible for the time
being. Pat Mccarthy, however, con-
tinued to run every now and
then with the evident determination
to lead the other Mccarthy, who kept up
persistent trOt. At 10 O'Clock nearly all
the contestants had settled down into a
fast walk. As each finished a mile he
was applauded bv the audience. At 1880
O'Clock the score stood as follows:

Lawrence Doyle, Joseph Doyle and
Collins. These gentlemen are well
known 10 the patrons Of the association,
and are recognized as a combination not
easily excelled even in professional cir
cles. The sale Of reserved seats indicates
a crowded house. Every arrangement
has been made for the comfort Of those
who attend. and an audience even larger
than that which witnessed the play on its
first presentation is assured.
