New York and Editors HALsTEAD and

NEW YORK. Aug. ia daring attempt
to drown young woman took place at an
early hour this morning near the iron pier
on Coney Island. For some time Patrick
KearnS of Brooklyn has been intimate with
Mary Koran, aged IS, who is employed as a
waitress at a Coney Island hotel. Last
evening he went to the hotel and asked
Mrs. Koran where her daughter was, and
was informed that she had gone for a walk
and would probably return shortly. At
1:30 o'clock this morning Officer Drummond
of the island force heard a shriu scream
from the beach. He ran toward the spot
and saw man and woman struggling in
the surf. The woman saw the officer and
cried:
FOR GODS SAKE SAVE MEf'
DrummOnd ordered the man to come
ashore, and he Immediately obeyed the
summons. When he released the woman
she would have been carried away by the
strong tide had not Drummond gone to her
assistance and carried her out of the water.
When they reached the shore she was I'M
conscious and was taken to police head
quarters. She was attended to by Dr..
He'll. She did not revive until o'clock
this morning. 1t was learned from her
that Kearns met her on the shore shortly
after calling at the hotel and invited her to
walk. She accompanied him to several
places at the West End. Shortly after
midnight he escorted her down to the beach
and induced her to
TAKE OFF HER SHOES.
They sat Oh the sand for a time, when
Kearns coaXed her to wade in the water
with him. She had no sooner stepped in
than Kearns threw her on her face and
forced her head under the water, and held
her there for some time. She further alleges
that while he was trying to keep her head
under water he beat her about the head and
otherwise maltreated her. To Chief Nc
Kane she declared that Kearns intended to
drown her, and had she not shouted for
help would have accomplished his purpose.
The girl was very weak, and the chief had
her sent to the Flatbush hospital. Kearns
was arraigned before Justice Waring,
pleaded not guilty, and was held for exam

abuses and is stiff-necked with an in
tolerant arrogance which comes of
a too long continuance of power. For
these and other causes. the people of the
state are ready to spew it out, and if the
Democrats will present an acceptable ticket
upon an acceptable platform the indications
are all in favor of Democratic success. But
If victory is to be won by the Democracy,
first of all they must present solid front.
The most candid harmony and unbounded
enthusiasm are essential to success. Every
Democrat in the state should be impressed
with this fact, and when the Democrats as

NEW YORK POLITICS.
Both Parties willing to Compromise
Rather Than Have a Canvass.


Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK. Aug. 13.-The action of the
Republican state committee in deciding not
to hold any convention this year has pre-
cipitated dilemma upon the Democratic
leaders of this state. The fact that only a
candidate for judge of the court of errors
and appeals is to be nominated would, under
ordinary circumstances make it certain
that no convention would be held, as the
place is not one much to be contested for, or
i'll the filling of which there is any great
public interest. This would be especially
the case in view Of the fact that the Re-
publicans have resolved to let their nomi-
mating be done by their state committee-or
rather since the Republican state committee
h1S assumed the right to make the nomina-
ton. There is, however, widespread
feeling that the national administration is
entitled to the support, not to say vlndica-
ton, which it would receive from hearty
Endorsement of it's course by the state con-
vention of its party in the Empire state.
On the other hand, the certainty that the
dissatisfied elements of the party would
make convention the opportunity for an
able-bodied kick leads some to advise
against the holding of such convention.
No formal action in either direction has yet
been taken by the Democratic committee,
but strictly formal negotiations are under
way between leaders in both parties which
may do away not only with conventions,
but with candidates; that is, the scheme
has been seriously preached to have the
two committees
AGREE UPON SOME SATISFACTORY MAN
who would be acceptable to the people
generally, and have him put up as the can
didate OF both parties. This would be a
vast simplitication of this falls canvass,
and would spare the means and energies of
the parties for the real struggle next year.
Chairman John O'Bren of the Democratic
state committee to-day admitted that such
move was suggested, but said nothing
definite had been done about it, and that
were such an arrangement made the DEM
ocrats would probably insist upon Attorney
Gen eral Denis O'Brien being named
as the candidate. This would not
be satisfactory to the Republicans,
according to the statement of
Gen. Henry A. Barnum of the committee.
although, on general principles. if good
man could be agreed upon he thought that
the Republicans would favor the compro-
mise scheme. The bottom facts of the sit
uation are that the leaders on both sides,
the Republicans by open and the Demo-
Gratis by tacit avowal, are afraid to have a
convention. A convention they regard as
a sort of Pandora box. What of trouble
and sdiscord it might hold for them they
don't know, and don't want to find out.

DEMoCRATIC opPoRTuNIrY.

Now that the time and place for holding
che Democratic state convention has been
fixed by the state central committee, the
Democrats of Minnesota are expected to
respond to the call with an enthusiasm that
has never before been exhibited by the De-
mocracy of this state. This is the first
time for twenty-six years that the Democ-
racy of the state will assemble when
the general government has been
under control of the national Democratic
party. This fact of itself ought to be a
stilnulant to the Democrats Of this state to
make the coming convention notable as
semblage. But more than that is the stimu-
iating argument that by pursuing judici-
Gus policy the Democratic party can over
come the Republican majority in this
state and place the administration
of the state government in line
with that of the national government.
The record of the Republican party in this
state is not savory order in the nostrils of
the people. ii has bowed the knee to the
BAAL of mononply and has neglected to pro-
tect the intcrrssssof the masses 1t has

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
The Democratic state central committee
did wise thing in fixing an early date for
the state convention. 1t signifies an active
and an aggressive campaign on the part of
the Democracy. Notwithstanding that the
Democratic party has heretofore been the
minority party in Minnesota, this action of
the committee is a declaration that it does
not intend to be a minority party any
longer. The rule has been, and the rule is
50 universal as to almost amount to law
in politics, that the dominant party shall
always be the first to hold its conven-
tions and to place its ticket in
the field. So that the action of
the Republican committee in post
poning the Republican state convention to
the latest date when it could be held is to be
construed as an admission that the party
was doubtful of its continued supremacy.
1t felt that if it was to be weighed in the
balance it would be found wanting, and
sought to escape overthrow by refusing to
Dc weighed at all. The Democratic COM
mittee has done wisely to embrace the adj
vantage that this Republican confession of
weakness has given the Democratic party.
The Democratic standard is to be advanced,
and the battle opened before the Republi-
cans have organized for the conflict. 1t is
bold movement, and expresses the conf
dence of the party in its ability to achieve
victory.

RfGIDLY HONEST.

SAM RANDALL has the distinction of
being the poorest man in congress. This
is rather singular when it is remembered
that with the possible exception of his col
league, Judge KELLEY, Mr.. RANDALL is
the oldest member in consecutive service of
the house of representatives. His oppor-
tunities for money-making have been very
great, if he had done as many another
statesman has done. Mr.. RANDALL's total
wealth is assessed at $4,000. Senator
SHERMAN, whose congressional experience
covers but little more time than Mr.. RAN
DALL's, has succeeded in laying by several
millions. And yet both of them served the
public on the same salary. Mr.. RANDALL
has made very honorable public record,

He was not only great man, in the COM

statesmen whose most conspicuous qualities
he duplicated in himself. He had the polit-

which Jefferson possessed; then he had the
scholarly breadth and philosophic culture of
Madison in dealing with foundation princi-
pies. and he had the unbending integrity and
stern will of Jackson. Jackson, Madison and
Jefferson-they were often recalled to me by
the career of Tilden during his most COM
manding and active years.

New Orleans Picayune.
If Mexico is to go on keeping the border in
state of ferocious insecurity, the world will
wonder, not why we do not attack her,
but why we do not absorb her, and
establish over her territory that firm and safe
administration to which she is Inadequate.
The nation which depends on its weakness TO
escape punishment should first of all take
care not to deserve punishment. The people
OF the South understand the situation per-
fectly, and do not have any empty ambition to
assail Mexico for idle glory, or for vulgar
plumber; but they believe, almost without ex-
ception, that it is time for an end to be made
OF the insecurity of life and property on the
Rio Grande frontier.
