THE NOMINATION FOR CONGRESS

The democratic convention for the sec ond congressional district will be held to- morrow in New Haven. In so far as the result can be foreseen it seems almost cer- tain that Hon James P. Pigott will be the nominee The delegates have all been cho- sen and the most careful survey of the sit uation is favorable to his chances That his nomination is the best that can be made, the most certain to add strength to the national and state tickets, goes without saying, and the convention should be prompt to note the fact.
 MT Pigott is particularly strong in the city of New Haven, which is depended upon to furnish the majority necessary to elect any democratic candidate, and no man who will be voted for on the 9th of November will receive so large a number of votes in that democratic stronghold as he is certain to secure. His nomination will inspire an enthusiasm in New Haven democrats that any other name will be powerless to ava Ike. For this reason par ticularly, and for the re ason that he is bet ter known through the district than his opponent Mir Wilcox, he should be chosen as the candidate for congress. Mir Wilcox is particularly unfortunate in his backing: and however worthy of congressional hon ors he may be, tn ere is a lack of conf dence in those who are behind him that will be a most serio us drag weight on his iS . 4 litical or personal integrity of these men and this want of confidence has grown deeper in the light of the methods they have em- ployed against MT Pigott The success of campaigns will be best assured by the de cisive defeat of their selfish schemes. MT Pigott should receive the nomination to- morrow, and it is gratifying to announce that all the signs point to such a result. .
 The DEMOCRAT has been specially stren- uous ip urging the choice of MT Pigott. for it believed and does believe that he is the very strongest democrat that can be put forward in the district Should to- morrow's convention decide otherwise. should the assembled delegates in their wisdom conclude that MT Wilcox is the proper man to fill the gap, the DEMOCRAT will cheerfully and unhesitatingly acquiesce in the verdict. We can assure Mr Wilcox that, in the event of his nomination. no support will be more hearty, more loyal or more sincere than that which he will receive from the DEMOCRAT and the personal and political friends of NIr Pigott. We will be as urgent in pressing his cleo | tion as we have been in seeking the nomi- ! nation of Mir Pigott, and he can be assured | that there will be naught but the most | friendly and unselfsb interest in his suc- cess.
 We hope to see MT Pigott nominated to- morrow-we believe that he will be- but if the fates ordain otherwise, if Mir Wilcox carries off the prize, we will take up his standard and press forward earnestly and honestly in the effort to insure his election. The republicans who count on disaffection in case of MT Wilcox's success will get left the democracy of the second district will be solid for the nominee

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S LETTER.
 President Cleveland's acceptance of the nomination rendered at St Louis is couched in no uncertain tones. Like all his public papers his letter is model of direct state ment and forc;ble diction. As was expect ed, he reaffirms and reiterates the position he took in regard to the tariff in his mes sage of last December. On all the public issues that enter into the campaign he speaks with direct frankness and uncom- promising traightforwardness. For those who seek an admirable object lesson on the question of national taxation the let ter will furnish most convincing and comprehensive study.
 Clearly and convincingly he shows that the indirect taxation levied by the tariff is an unjust and unequal burden on the people The tariff is tax that is paid by the consumer. It is not the foreigner who pays this tax; it is the importer, who is re- imbursed for his outlay by an increased price demanded of and paid by the domes- tic consumers. That this tax should be rdtcu AdISS1y III CACCoS ol SoNCiAuAcuIdl needs is an injustice to those on whom it bears, and the claim that it is justified by the protection it affords to home indus tries is dispelled by the inequality of it's distributive results. Domestic producers are enabled, by means of this import tax, to increase the price of their products to rate nearly or quite equal to the amount of the duty imposed, while by the non-protection that is afforded to labor they are enabled to turn out their goods without any increase of cost. This increased price of domestic productions bears on the consumers, while the profits of the system accrue to the producers. Hence it is that so many manufacturers, whose selfishpess exceeds their patriotism, favor the continuance of high taxation. It is to the interest of their pockets that the sys tenn is perpetuated. The presidents logic on this point is clear, convincing and in- controvertible, and will repay careful at tention.
 F But perhaps the most interesting DOT tion of the letter is that in which he bricks

GOVERNOR GREEN of New Jersey hit the republican claim that high tariff makes high wages a square blow when he said :: ''In 1883 the tariff on pottery was increased to 55 per cent, and it had not been in force month before the wages in the pottery factories were cut down 10 per cent" The demand for labor and it's own productive ness fix wages in this country and every where else

WITH labor coming in free and stimu- lating the supply, and the tariff conining production to the home market, isn't it natural, isn't it inevitable that the home market must be over-supplied And is over production conducive to steady em- ployment and good wages These are questions that the high tax advocates put by without answering.

THE Middletown Journal urges the nom ination of Senator Coffin as the republican candidate for congress in the second dis trict. A coffin will, indeed, be needed in November to encase the political remains of the republican party, and it is kind of the Journal to offer to furnish it. MT Pigott will enjoy lowering the Coffin into a political grave.

THE RED BANDANA

We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the qemand that every husband buy Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our laud! No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin, Boardman & Gray, Baus, and Wilcox & White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of a manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago.

THE LATEST LIGHT.
The Extravagant Claims Made for
a New illuminate.

A recent report of the exhibition at
the crystal palace contains mention of a
new illuminant, which, according to
the inventor, is to supersede not only
the electric light. but which is so brill
liant and far reaching as to make the arc
light cast a shadow when brought in
comparison. The new agent is called
Lucigen, and is so powerful that at a
distance of $50 PAGES from a jet which
costs but 3 pence per hour, ordinary
manuscript may be distinctly read.
The cheapneSS of the new illuminant
is accounted for by the fact that the
crude and waste oils from gas factories
is the source from which it is manufac-
tured, its costs, on the authority of a
gas analyst at Glasgow, being about
One-tenth that of common gas, says the
Electrical Review.
The light is produced by mixture of
compressed air and infinitely divided
particles of oil, which together form a
VapOr that, when ignited, gives a steady
and continuous flame of great bright
ness. The flame is controlled by tap
in similar manner to gas.
The new illuminant, it is claimed,
can also he turned to very practical
use in conjunction with another discov-
cry by the same inventor, which is
styled the pyrogen, an apparatus for
the heating of metals, which will prob
ably be of great use to engineers, as it
acts with greater cleanliness, economy
and certainty than would be the case
were coal used. The heat can be easily
regulated by turning tap, and can be
raised to whiteness in a few minutes,
while it can, if desired, be kept abso-
lutely steady for any desired length OF

Capt. BreSSette was in charge. The in

bruised and bleeding passengers to add
to their terrible sufferings.
The case Of young Robert is partic u
larly sad. His mOthe and sister are in
California. The latter is an invalid and
the former is in such poor health that it

news of her boys misfortune may re-

of the late Nelson Robert and nephew

The cOmpenSating carriage at the
power house, which is the pulse of the

The men in charge of the grip car
after the accident were exceedingly

A singular feature of the accident
was that the ladies with two or three

A LYNCHING PARTY.
A Supposed Murderer Lynched by
Party i'm California.

SANTA ANNA. Jan. 27.-C. II. Hitch
cock, prominent farmer, came to Santa
Anna last Monday with his wife and &C
knOwledged the deed to his property to
German named E. L. Anschlag. They
returned home, but not having been
seen thereafter, neighbors grew suspic-
ious of foul play and instituted search.
The dead bodies were found yesterday
long distance from the house. Hitch
cock and his wife were side by side in
hole in the ground, which had been
covered over with earth and straw.
HitchcOck'S throat was cut from ear to
ear, and his Wife'S head was split open
with Ratchet. 1t seemed evident that
AnSchlag had murdered them to retain
money he had paid them for the land. A
lynching party was at once organized
and started for ADSchlag, and he was
lynched before officers could interfere.
Charles III. Hitchcock came to this state
in 1876 from Elgin. Ill. His father and
mother are now living at Compton, Ill.
The maiden name of Mrs. Hitchcock,
who was found murdered with her huS-
band, was Rose Bradley and also lived
with her parents at Elgin and was
daughter of w. S. Bradley. Anschlag,
who is supposed to have muir
dered the couple, is a German,
twenty-five years old, and came to this
state about one year ago. He has been
living in San Francisco for some time.
He had supposed partner named An
tone Dyker. Two weeks ago Anschlag
appeared at Santa Anna ostensibly to
buy farm and arranged to buy the
Hitchcock place for $4,000, paying small
advance. Last Saturday the abstract
was completed and the deed to the farm
was executed at Santa Anna. Anschlay
desired to postpone paying over the
money until Monday and accompanied
the HitchcOckS to their home. 1t is sup
posed that he murdered Hitchcock and
his wife some time on Monday or Mon
day night, secreting their bodies as be-
fore stated. kilograms received this
morning state that both Anschlay and
Dyker were lynched seven miles from
Santa Anna last night and their bodies
left hanging to tree. Hitchcock was
very highly respected and was one of
the most prominent men in the county.

Longfellow's Debt to Hawthorne.

OICesttr Spy.
There is more than one recorded in
stance where the most powerful, poetic
and comprehensive descriptions in lit
erature have been made by those who
have never looked upon the scenes de-
scribed. Down in the lower Canadian
provinces there is certain good family
possessing an autograph letter from
Longfellow strikingly illustrative of
this. No creation of genius more
truly bears the evidence of patient
study and observation than does Long
fellows "Evangeline." And yet
Longfellow was never in his
life i'll Old Acadia. 81 fear
to visit your interesting country he
writes his Nova Scotia friends, ''lest
the charms of my imaginings disappear.
l must in truth tell you that have
never been there. The notes on which
the incidents of 'Evangeline' are based
were all generously furnished me by nv
good friend, Nathaniel Hawthorne.'' 1t
is time this important bit of literary
history was better known. Had it not
been for Hawthorne there would have
been no ''EvaDgeline," and one almost
regrets that the wizard of Salem did not
leave more than the unsOught record of
a generous act from the knowledge we
now know he possessed of the lives,
loves and dOlOr of people pathetic in
the world-heart memory from their I'M
happy fO rtuneS.

new YORK DEMOCRATS.
A Diversity Of Opinion as to the Real
State of Affairs.
HILL SHOWS HIS HAND.
An Impression That the Hitch Will Be
Healed, and That Hill Has Made
a Mistake.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-There is wide
diversity of opinion as to the real sig
nlficance OF the deadlock in the state
Democratic committee yesterday at
Albany. The fact is patent to every
body that the adherents of Hill antag-
onized the Cleveland supporters. A
desperate effort was made to cap
ture the national committeeman,
but thirty ballots produced only cast
iron deadlock. A good deal of small
politics is behind the whole affair, as
proven by the number of absentee
statesmen that lodged the meeting
and sent proxies. They feared to take
sides with either party, not
knowing how the cat might jump, and
can now deny any responsibility for the
acts of their proxies. The upshot of
the matter is that unless wiser cOunsels
prevail, New York may have no repre-
SentatlveS on the national committee,
and may thereby lose the national con-
vention. Nobody supposes that Hill
expects to be Cleveland'S competitor.
1t is conceded that Cleveland will be
renomjnated, even without New York's
vote. But the governor likes to hold
the machine lever and show himself
stronger than anybody in the Empire
state, hence the effort to capture the
committeeman, which would have in
dicated the governor is bigger than
Cleveland in New York, came near be-
ing successful. Local politicians contend
there is no claShing between the state
and federal administrations, and all
aver their spokesman at Albany voted
for Flower or Mowerey on purely per-
sonal grounds. Shrewd observers, how
ever, foreSee New York again the presi-
dental battle ground, and declare Hill
is astute enough to perceive the import
ance of controlling it. Thomas f. Gil
roy. Tammany'S secretary, says: II
don't think the result fOreShadoWs any
thing. know this, the Tammany hall
members of the committee decided some
time ago to vote for Mr.. Flower. AL
ways friendly to our organization, our
committeeman voted for him on personal
grounds. National or state politics had
nothing to do with their actions. Tam
many hall committeeman thought
Flower entitled to the honor.
That is all there is to it as
far as our organization is concerned.
OF course we expect our enemies to say
Tammany Hall enlisted under the Hill
banner, and is opposed to President
Cleveland's denomination. Such state
mentS are false. The truth is, we do
not know of any clashing between the
two administrations" In Washington,
and even where there is great deal of
Indignation because the issue was made
and the deadlock occurred, Democrats
say Hill might have made the fight a.
year ago and stood the chance of WIN
ming, but now it is too late to rival
Cleveland, whose denomination is as
sured. He better have had yielded with
good grace, letting recognized admin
istration man succeed Hubert o. Thomp-
lose the denomination for governor. The
general impression is, that the
hitch uwill be Smoothed out, and that
Hill has. made mistake.
