The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1886-04-06

TEE following is good advice TO Ohio
Denocrals from the Savannah (Ga. J
Nescs:
"Why not Tburmsn for President in
1883 in case Cleveland should not be a
candidate p, There is probably no other
man in the country whose name would
arouse so much enthusiasm as that OF
Judge Thurman. What the country
would like to see nov, however, is a re-
organization OF the Ohio Democracy. &C.
cording to the Thurman ideal. A sen.
sible. honorable platform and policy, and
ihe selection OF high toned, honorable
leaders would doubtless again put the
Ohio Democracy op the road TO victory.
1t is not necessary for Judge Thurman
10 enter into active political work Let
him advise the party end let bis advice
he followed. Let the Thurman idea pre-.
vail over the traditional Ohio idea"

Mr.. Editor -
The election for Congressman
comes off Tuesday. Hon. jas Jack
son is the man who should be sent
to Congress.
Every colored man who appreci
ates human rights is morally bound
to support Jackson. II he stays al
hcme on election day or votes the
regular Democratic ticket, he says
by that action that he is satisfied
with tue laws aud practices Of that
party.
1t is Well known fact that the
Democratic leaders oppose the Blair
Educational bill. Tnis bill was for
the benefit of the pocr mans children
black and white. 1t was killed in
the House of Representatives IN
which the Democrats are in a msjor-
ity. This means that Democrats
don't want to see the poor children
rise by education,
The duty of voters i'll this District
is plain. Hon, Jas Jackson is the
man to vote for.
He will make good representa-
tive of all classes of people.
We of this section have known
him ali his life. and we are perfectly
satisfied that lie will give general
satisfaction as Congressman.
Yours for Jackson,
Y. A. Wallace.

Collision with Schooner off Fire Island

Eight Hundred Persons, Saved-The YES

Fate of the Schooner Unknown.
New YORK. March 15.-The famous
Cunard steamer Oregon, with 800 souls
on board, was struck by the three.
masted schooner Fannie A. Gorham at 3:45
Sunday morning, while proceeding under q
full head OF steam, twenty-five milet
southeast OF Watch Hill, near Cente,
Moriches, L. l. Three holes were stove
in the Oregon's side, one almost
twenty feet square and the others smaller
in dimension. The vessels drifted apart,
and in the darkness the people on board
the Oregon heard the despairing cries oil
the crew on the schooner as she settled and
sank. 1t is supposed all on board the
schooner were lost. The Oregon also be-
gan to fill and her engines soon ceased to
work, for her third compartment was open
to the water. AS day dawned pilot boat No.
Ii from this city was sighted, and signals
OF distress were Immediately hoisted on the
Oregon. The pilot-boat ran to her assist
ance, and the schooner Elsie Graham was
also attracted to the scene. It was broad
daylight when they got alongside, and the
work OF transferring the passengers was
Immediately begun. This was not COM
pleted until 11:30 o'clock, Captain Cottier,
ofthe Oregon, being the last to leave his
vessel. Not a life was lost nor person in
iured, and some of the mail, of which there
were 800 bags, was saved and landed on
the pilot boat. When this had been nearly
all done the steamer Fulda of the Bremen
line hove in sight, joined the two rescuing
vessels, and took all the 500 people of the
Oregon on board. The Cunard vessel was
then drifting hopelessIy about in
the sea, with all her cargo
and the baggage of the passengers
and crew on board, when suddenly,
at 1:30 yesterday afternoon, she went
down head first with great noise, and the
Fulda then proceeded to this port. The
passengers of both vessels will land this
morning. Third Officer Taylor, of the Ore
gon, said tonight that Immediately after
the collision he attempted to save the crew
of the Inflated schooner, but vessel and
men had disappeared.
