England, Scotland and Ireland, as said to-

near as great as lie tonight in the savings
banks OF Massachusetts to the credit of the
wagesworkers of that small state, and if you
turn the administration of this republic to-

expect those great savings, for you will put

immigration investig zion committed at New
York. He told what he knew about the send
ing of ex-convicts from British prisons. He
was sentenced to prison for life in 1865, but
upon his promising to go to America he was
pardoned. He served six years. He said
that the worst thieves and conyicts of En-,
land were anxious to come to America. The
governors of the prisons persuaded them to-
go. Only the worst are sent here.

county in the State, Democrats carry
only two counties, in the western halt
of the State. It is the largest Repub-
lican majority since the close of the
war and is astonishing little to Re-
publicans, and Democrats are still more
surprised. The result is in the returns
for mem bers of the Legislature.

LESSON TO DEMOCRATS,

There was q conspicuous absence"
at the st. Louis convention on Tuesday.
1t was the absence of the portrait of
VIM. II. English, the nominee for Vice
President on the ticket with General
Hancock. The portraits of all other
National Democratic nominees since
and including 1876. were there, and the
place which should have been occupied
by the likeness of the Indianian was
held by the picture of an ex-governor
of Missouri. 1t is probable that, if the
sergeant-at-arms will go to the express
office in st. Louis he'll find English's
portrait, with G. o. D. attachment.
English is the man who used to send
kilograms to the national committee
.'collect," and it is not likely he would
squander any money to place his pic
ture on exhibition. The best feature
connected with the absence is that not
q delegate would have it otherwise.
The nomination of Governor English
was one of the best things that ever
happened to the Democracy. The
Hoosier was placed on the ticket for no
other reason than that he had money
He was in no sense statesman; hs was
without national reputation, being un-
known beyond his own State and al
most beyond his immediate neighbor-
hood. He had money, however, and il
was thought he would open a barrel for
campaign purposes; but his cupidity
dwarfed his ambition, and instead of
contributing to the campaign fund he
was source of expense to the Democ-
racy, besides being terribly heavy load
to carry. 1t taught the party lesson.
and one it is hoped it will never forget.
Money does not make statesmen. A
poor man With brains is dearer to the
people and in Office is worth more to
the nation. than the fellow with nil
lions in tle bank but without brains in
his head. Cleveland was a poor man
bns he was and is the idol of the people,
because be possesses brains. and is a
Statesman, Hendricks was By no means

TO BREAK THE RULE.

When Judge Thurman shall be
elected, he will be within few
days of seventy five years of age.
| The certainty of his nomination and
election, has caused somebody to go to
the record and ascertain that every
man elected to the Presidency
after he was sixty years of age, died in
the Office. There were FIVE of them
Clinton, Gerry, King, Wilson and
Hendricks. Thurman's few opponents
urge this list against him, and seem to
think it conclusive that his
election will mean death before
the expiration OF his term.
They don't seem to understand two
things-frst. that there are exceptions
to every rule, and, second, that some
men at seventy five have better chance
for five years of lie than others 81
sixty. There are hundreds of active,
vigorous. clesr-headed men of eighty
who are doing more and harder work
than others of sixty. Thurman comes
of long-lived family. and though he
is more than four years beyond the al
lotted life of man, there is no good
reason why with proper care of him
self such as he is likely to take, he
should not be on earth ten years hence.
We remember how it was said during
the campaign of 1884 that no man
whose name begins with G could ever
be elected President, but Mr.. Cleve-
land broke the. rule without any good
effort; and now Judge Thurman will
in all probability show that it isn't alb
solutely essential for a Vice President
over sixty years of age to die.

THE REPUBLICAN SLOPE.

What do the Democrats think now
about carrying Oregon? All this talk
about the Democrats getting electoral
votes from the Pacific Cast is vain and
idle, and should be at once stopped,
and those enthusiastic members OF the
party on the Slope who are telling the
country how easy it will be to carry
California, OREGON and Nevada with a
good ticket and g silver plank in the
platform, should be called upon to give
reasons for the hope that is in them
and the words they utter. Oregon had
its State election on Tuesday. and if
kilograms in this issue of THE HERALD
may be relied upon, the Webfoot Demo.
Gratis must want somebody to 60 up
there and sit up with them. Her
mann, the Republican nominee
for Congress, has been reelected
by a majority of over 1000. whereas
two years ago his plurality was only
1,6c0. The Legislature, which is to
choose a successor to Senator Dolph, is
Overwhelmingly Republican.
AS matter of fact, the three Pacific
States are Republican in politics, and
hopelessIy SO as far as this years
national election is concerned. The en-
igration to the West is largely Republic
can. especially that to Oregon and
Washington Territory. No ticket and
no platform will be able to change pub
lie sentiment before the November cleo
ton. Every dollar expended, and every
effort put forth to make these States
Democratic this year will be so much
money and labor wasted, the assertions
of members of the party to the contrary
notwithstanding. If the Democrats will
at once settle down to the inevitable,
and count the Pacific electoral votes for
the Republicans, and will put forth their
efforts in the Eastern States which are
doubtful, as Connecticut andSNew Jer-
sey, they will be wise.

General Sheridan

WASHINGTON, June Sat 8 As g. m. il
was stated that General Sheridan hae
another hemorrhage from the lungs
but that it was very light one, ano
appeared to relieve rather than depress
his condition.
DR.. Pepper arrived at the house
shortly before O'Clock. Sheridan re.
coguiZed him and said: IL intend to
get well all the same, doctor" All
| physicians were in attendance and the
consultation lasted till 555, when DR..
Pepper returned TO Philadelphia. The
following was then issued: &c e.m.-At
this hour General Sheridan is resting
quietly with pulse of fair volume,
liz to the minute. Respiration 32, tenn
perature normal. The pulmonary
trouble is progressing favorably. The
copgested condition which increased
thirty-six hours ago. was followed by
considerable hemorrhage from the
stomach and the bowels, yesterday at
ppm. The shock of this was almost
fatal, as it immediately developed the
return of grave heart trouble. Most
powerful remedies we're resorted to to
secure reaction. Since this was &C
.complished no fresh trouble has ap
Besred. The patient has rallied as
promptly as could be expected, con.
sidering the org aDic disease present.
The kidneys are acting better than at
any previous time. The nervous force
shows serious depression, and the
gravest anxiety must continue to be
felt as to its endurance, in case of any
further complication. Remedies and
food are borne remarkably well.
PHILADELPHIA, June 5.-Dr. Pepper,
who returned from a consultation with
General Sheridan's physicians to-day,
said the hemorrhage of yesterday and
resultant shock were very severe, and
that death would have resulted were it
not for the very vigorous measures
adopted by the physicians. 1t is impo
sible to assert that there may not be a
recurrence of the hemorrhage, and such
an event or the return of severe heart
failure would place the GeneI ais life in
urgent danger. On the other hand
there are several favorable features
about the present conditions of the
case. General Sheridan's courage is
undiminished. and his confidence in his
attending physicians, and the willing
ness with which he undergoes all neces-
sary treatment, So absolutely assists the
devoted efforts which are being made to
bring the disease under control.

The NATIONAL Democratic Conven-
ton is running as smoothly as the best
lover of harmony can desire. The
country has never seen anything like it
Everybody seems to understand just
what he is to do, and he is doing it in
the most expeditions and satisfactory
manner. To-day the ticket WILL be nom
mated, and perhaps the platform
adopted. If this sort of anti-friction
movement shall continue until Novem-
Der, the party will have walk-over at
the polls, for a united Democracy can
carry every thing before it.
