THE DEAD SOLDIER.
SORROW is OVER THE LAND
A Nation MOurns the Loss of a
Brave Man.

The sudden death at Nonquitt, Mass,
at 10 30 O'Clock Sunday night, of Gen.
Pnilip IL Sheridan, CONN au"iug the
UNITED States arnv fell like an uuexpect
ed blow upon the American people. Tbsy
were led to believe uy the reports from
the sick room that the crisis of hfs dis
ease had passed and that he was to be
spared many more years upon the earth.
By bis physicians his death could not
have been unexpected, be use uhev must
have known that his tisease-valvular
trout of the heart-was likely Ia prove
fatal at any time Medical science has
never been able to cope successfully with
the heart when once seriously affected,
as q n. SheridanS no doubt was. All day
Sunday the patient had been in uunsuall,
good spirits, laughing and chatting with
his hr"thers and members nf the iamily
At 73o DIR. Matthews said the General

at their dying father.

ed the wish hat the body should not be
viewed, aud her wishes were respected.
Messages of coincidence poured in upon
Mrs. Sheridan from all parts of The
country, and the regret that the brave
General lad passed away was both gen
eral and sincere. Congress met and took
suitable action upon the death of Gen.
Sheridan, and his widow has been hand

Not so Confident.

That supreme confidence in the GER
tainty of Mr.. Cleveland's reelection
which marked the Democrats at the
adjournment of the ST. Louis Conven-
ton has died out, and q less boastful
condition now generally prevails. Not
many days ago it was almost impossible
to run across a Democrat who would
admit even that they had contest on
hand 1t was to be a walkover the
Presidential track for Mr.. Cleveland.
But now the tune is changed. The
best informed Democrats concede that
even in Mr.. Cleveland's own state they
have a contest on hand which they did
not anticipate. Besides, they are not
happy family IN New York, and the
British free trade sympathy for Mr..
Cleveland Is alternating the Irish vote.
That shrew observer OF passing political
events, the New York correspondent of
the Philadelphia Ledger thus states the
condition there.
Tnere is noticeaby less degree Of
confidence among the Democrats thau
there was immediately after the June
conventions. Then, il will be remem ber-
ed, they were impressed with the absolute
lnvIncibility o. their party, aud III their
enthusiasm offered 10 BET freely at odds
of two To one that Cleveland would be
elected; now, however. they are willing
to admit that the contest is to be close
even III this STATE, which they before re
garded at almost absolutely sure FIR
Cleveland. This decrease of confidence
may indeed be good thing for the party.

State Central Committee for Cecil county

Mr.. Blaine arrived at New York at
an early hour Yesterday morning Al
though the steamer bearing this distn-
gLished American citizen failed to
arrive on time, still the enthusiasm o
the thousands of Republicans who had
assembled &c greet him was not dam
pened by the disappointment, and on
Thursday night thirty thousand mel
turned out in parade to do him honor
The procession was reviewed by the
Hon. Levi p. Morton, and could no,
have been more enthusiastic had Mr.
Blaine himself been seated in the re
viewing stand. 1t was undoubtedly one
of the greatest ovations ever rendered a
private citizen of this country.

General Harrison in very admir-
able address recently delivered by him
to a delegation of workingmen who
called upon, emphasized the fact that
the present tariff issue so far as it con-
cerned the workingman, was question
of employment and of the best wages.
He argued justly, that free trade by
transferring work from American to
English and European factories, must
inevitably deprive mechanics of en-
ployment here, and necessarily tend to
depress wages. the great advantage
of protective tariff so far as working
men were concerned, lay in securing
the largest amount of work on Ameri-
can soil, so as to provide them with
steady employment sat home," at the
best wages known anywhere. Gen
eral Harrison laid full stress upon this
word-employment. Even if 1t were
possible to increase the purchasing
power of wages by policy of unlimited
importations, the working classes would
not be benefited by it if they were
earning 'thing. The purchasing power
of wages il as high in Eng land as 1t is
anywhere, but there Is great army OF
the unemployed in every town, which
canrot find employment and which in
sheer despair is emigrating to America.
THIS desirable condiuon of continuous
employment of our workingmen which
is only attalnable by a policy which
maintains the diversity and prosperity
OF our nome Industries, General Harri-
! son very forclDly argues is the very core
OF the whole question of protecuon, SC
far as American working classes are
directly interested in it. The free trade
Democracy seems bent upon giving
employment TO the working population
of Europe at the expense OF American
workingmen. Protection means fol
them steady work and good way IS.
