An Aggressive Campaign.

The Democratic State Committee
opend headquarters at the Girard
House, Philadelphia, this week, in the
same rooms in which the victorious
Pattison campaign was organized. An
immediate conference of the chairman
with the candidates is to be held to
outline the plan of the campaign. 1t
is not expected there will be much of
a canvass on the stump for few weeks
to come but the work of thorough
and complete organization will be be-
gun at once, and as soon as the letters
of acceptance are published the issue
of campaign documents will be begun.
For the present the most important
work to be done is the complete regis-
tration of voters. After September I'd
this cannot be attended to if neglected d
now. Every Democrat should register
and every committeeman should see
that every voter is enrolled on the asses
sor's books.

Mia cara Oranks.


Cranks possessed with mania for
going through the Whirlpool rapids at
Niagara are turning up every day.
Capt. Webb was the first to attempt it
and he lost his life in 1883, and James
Scott followed him last week. Several
men have recently gone through in
barrels and come out with few bruis-
es. but the most daring attempt was
made on Sunday afternoon by Boston
policeman named William Kendall,
whose only protector was common
life -preserver Tie following account
is given of his feat
Police officers from the bridge start
ed after the adventurer, but they only
got part down the bank before they
saw him enter the river. While he
floated toward the rapids several hun
dred people gathered on the Suspen-
sion Bridge and saw the attempt to
emulate Captain Webb. AT the land
ing Kendall had quickly stripped him
self and put on life preserver similar
to the ones found in ocean steamships.
It was no protection against the rapids
bu. to prevent him from being sucked
down by the undertow. Saults and
Walker buckled on the life preserver,
and after the policeman had taken a
big horn of whisky from a flask he had
brought for the purpose, he jumped
into the water, swan few strokes and
then foated on his back. The current
was in and Kendall was carried towards
the cataract fully three hundred feet.
Turning over on his breast he swan
for the Canada side and was soon in
the swift current which directly feeds
the rapids. 1t was Just 2 o'clock when
Kendall started, and five minutes later
he struck the first breaker, swimming
easily.
Then began contest for life with
the tumultuous waves, which lasted
about three minutes, for the three
quarters of mile. The swimmer was
tossed up and down in the rapids
and thrown from one wave to another
until people on the bank were certain
that he had been killed either by hid
den rocks or smothered by the great
volume of water which makes the big
waves of the rapids. Several times
the policeman was wholly submerged
and people on the bank thought he
was cad. When the breakers of the
surf tossed Kendall into the whirlpool
he disappeared from view and was not
seen for nearly two minutes, when be
came to the surface. He made few
strokes at first, as he tried to get out
of the outer swirl, and then swan di.
rectly towards the shore.
The fight for life was close enough
to make the few spectators at Mr..
Brundage's park shudder when they
occasionally saw the form of the man
tossed upon the raging flood.
SAFELY THROUGH THE TORRENT.
Slowly but surely the struggler got
towards the shore and finally landed
on the Canadian side. He was seen
on rock, and there he lay, pretty
nearly dead, until Tom Riley, hack.
driver, and George Toby, New York
comrade, pulled him out of the river
Kendall was wholly unable to walk and
was carried up the stairway to Lawson
Place, where he was fed on brandy
Quite crowd oongregated and shook
hands with him. Later he was taker
to the Waverly Hotel, at Suspension
Bridge, and put to bed. DIR. Hunter
made critical examination of Kend
all and found no injuries of enough
Importance to need his services.

Editorial Opinion.

Philadelphia Press: Mr. Black =
is a most estimable and irreproachable
gentleman. He had filled the perfume.
tory office of Lieutenant Governor with
grace and dignity, and has shown the
higher talents Of the political thinker
aud orator. He is worthy of the hon
ors which have been conferred upon
him, and if he could lead united party
upon live issues he would make a
strong canvass and prove vigorous
foeman.
Harrisburg Patriot: The Democrat
ic State Convention performed per-
feet work in the nomination of the
ticket which will be found at the mast
head of the Patriot this morning.
Some of the candidates were chosen
after active contests and by close mar
gins, but all won the honors conferred
on them by fair measures and are en-
titled to, as they will receive, the earn
est and cordial support of the party.
New York Herald: The Democrats
of Ohio and Pennsylvania are not
ashamed of their convictions. What
ever may be said of the wisdom of
those convictions, they are boldly ex-
pressed. The platforms adopted yes
terday in convention at Toledo and
Harrisburg are, moreover, explicit as
we'll as courageous. And in this the
Democrats of the Keystone and Buck
eye States show to advantage when
compared, not only with the New York
Republicans, as represented by their
State Committee, but, so far, with New
York Democrats also.
Harrisburg correspondent N. Y,
Sun: The nomination of MIR. Black is
received among the Democrats in this
city with great enthusiasm and salts
faction. 1t was made unanimous after
the ballot, on motion of X. Milton
Speer, seconded by Col Thompson, oi
Erie, and Walter Barrett, one of the
delegates from Clear6eld, the county
in which Mr.. Wallace lives, who pledg
ed the Convention that the Democrats
of that county would 60 into the can
vass with great earnestness and vigo
in order to help the ticket to success
The ticket is strong, represents thu
young Democracy.
Philadelphia Ledger: That being
(the denomination of the present Gov
ernor) out of the question, the conven
tion has done the next best thing b,
naming for the succession Lieutenan
Governor Black, an unquestionabl!
able, fit and experienced man. Ba
