DEMOCRATIC UNITY.

There has never been time in the
history of American politics when such
remarkable unity prevailed in party
as now exists in the national Democracy
on the one issue of the campaign. Of
all the leaders of prominence and influ-
ence Mr.. RANDALL is the only one not
in heartiest accord with the policy of
the party, while in the whole rank and
file there is not the sound of a single
discordant note. This is a wholesome
state of affairs, and ordinarily would
preSage a successful result. And vet in
this phenomenal unity OF sentiment and
purpose on the part of the national
Democracy lies one element of weak
ness, and one that will have to be care
fully guarded against by the party man.
ayers. tits the danger of over-confidence.
Where all are agreed aud in so thorough
accord there is danger of relaxation
of party discipline and of inattentiOn to
methods of organization which are US
ually employed and usually necessary
for party success. A little internal row
or ruction in party, now and then, is
generally stimulant to the party man.
ayers to be on the alert, and to be the
more active in keeping the lines closed
up. But when all sections aud all fac
lions are united in support of common
principle, without a single jar or clash,
and that, too, through long campaign,
the temptation to fail into slack disci-
pline and to be inattentive to proper
campaign methods is very great. The
fact should not be overlooked that, while
party unity is very desirable condi-
ton, nevertheless it is apt to produce
over-confidence
While Democratic success is an almost
absolute certainty, it is mistaken idea
to suppose that it is going to be won
without struggle and without preServ-
Ing strict party discipline and organiZa-
lion. The opposition is making life
and death struggle, and it is going to
be desperate one. The American peo-
pie are good fighters, no matter what
side they are on, and it is great mis-
take to suppose that the Republicans
are not going to make hard fight SIM
ply because their cause wears hope
less aspect. They have an abundance
of the SinewS of war in the shape of
money bags, and eI erything that money
can do will be done to win the fight for
them. Therefore it becomes all the
more imperative on the Democratic
leaders to exercise vigilance, to main
tain discipline, and to keep every DEM
ocratic voter at the post of duty. There
must be no going to sleep on the sentry
line, or the Democratic camp will be
surprised by the watchful enemy. There
Must be no leaves of absence granted
rntil the fight is over, or depletion of
y. ranks OH any preteXt. 1t is happy

THE HERO OF A WE'LL.

The pages of fiction nowhere contain
in vivid description the details of a more
horrible experience that what was
actually endured by JOHN ANDERSON.
the Nebraska we'll digger, who for nine
days and nights was imprisoned in a
living tomb at the bottom of a well $50
feet deep. The story Of the caving III
of the we'll and of the subsequent rescue
OF ANDERSON after his perilous expert
ence has already been told in the news
columns of the GLOBE. Since then
reporter of the st. Louis Globe-DemO-
crat visited ANDERSON at his home and
had from his OWL lips graphic account
of the gloomy and dOleful impressions
his nine days underground life made
upon him. The mental torture incident
to such an experience was intensified
by the physical discomfort he had to
endure. When the well caved in the
box in which he stood was so
crushed by the pressure that there
was only about two feet of
room on the sides and little
over three feet in height for him to oc-
cupy. Thus he was unable to stand
erect, to sit down, or even tokneel: but
was compelled to remain in crouching
position all the nine days o. his impris-
Onment. He says his greatest physical
suffering was from thirst, as it was not
until the sixth day the workers from
above succeeded in making an aperture
through the sand large enough to get
wet rag through to him. ANDERSON
says that no honey ever tasted Sweeter
to him than that wet rag. He says that
10y having good supply of chewing to-
bacco he did not suffer so much from
hunger as might have been expected.
All the time of his Imprisonment he
could hear what was said and done above
and his heart sank within him at one
time, when he heard one person suggest
that he was dead anyway, and they
might as well leave him in his burial
place. But there were other brave men.
who were not willing to leave him to his
fate, and their heroic efforts were re-
warded by reScuing him from the horri-
bic pit. Public admiration is equally di-
vided between ANDERSoN'S remarkable
presence of mind and self-poSsession in
the trying ordeal, and the heroiSm of
the four men who devoted nine days to
incessant toll in the endeavor to extri-
cate him from the most horrible death a
human being could die.

a Big Contract.

New York Times.
Since Congressman Knute Nelson,
who represents the strongest Repub-
lican district in Minnesota, voted for
the Mills bill, there has been some
curiosity as to his latest opinions
concerning tariff legislation and
the tariff policy of his party. On the
25th ult. the ProhibitioniStS of Mime
sofa asked him to permit them to nomi-
nate him for governor. He replied that
he would not accept nomination for
that office from them or from any other
party. On the same day he made the
followidg statement in answer to a
question about his attitude with respect
to the tariff and the campaign; "You

to clean Grover Cleveland out this fall,

PARIS, Aug. 3.-The president of the
French Agricultural society has made a
report regarding the losses caused by
the recent rains. He says that the
hay has been destroyed and that
the peasants have been compelled to
kill their animals, being unable to feed
them. He also says that corn cannot
ripen, that potatoes are rotting and that
the vintage this year will be inferior.
He estimates the loss to agriculture at
half milliard of francs, and says if the
bad weather continues a month longer
the crisis will extend to enormous di-

one who again trespassed on
it. This evening, Scott, Crowley
and Newell were talking the matter
over in an alley adjoining Crowley's
barn, and Scott said he would stab any
one who infringed on his rights, to
which Crowley replied that man who
would use a knife was cur. AT this

sofa.
New York Times
ST. PAUL, Mimi. July 31-Albert
Shelter, the Farmers alliance candi-
date for governor, who was last week
Endorsed by the Ramsey county Demo
cratic convention, has just written
very peculiar letter. Nearly two
months ago Republican in high party
confidence went to Mr.. Scheffer and
begged him to write and sign a letter
which would silence all doubts both as
to his Republicanism and his intention
IN regard to the nominee of the state
convention. The gentleman, who is
now supporter of Mr.. Merriam, was
then politically inclined toward MIR.
Scheffer, believing him to be the strong
est candidate with the farmers, and
sure that an outspoken, non-evasive let
ter would add to his strength.
Mr.. Scheffer declined to write or sign
such a document. The pressure has
since then become so great that Mr..
Scheffea could no longer resist it and
is letter is published to-day. 1t is a
remarkable feat of non-committal let
ter writing. 1t was queer comblna-
cussed this letter in room of the Mer-
chants hotel up to IL O'Clock last night.
Scheffer had been beSieged all day by
his Republican friends to declare him.
self, and the city hall gang were just as
hot not to have him say a word. He
finally concluded to write the letter,
and the substance was matter of the
graveSt anxiety to them and his
friends. TO say and not to say, that
was the question. He had to admit that
he was Republican, but he could not
deny that he stood on the Democratic
platform. He wanted the Republican
nomination, but he could not slap
the Democrats in the face for their
ardent Republican tor fear of offend
ing his friends. Finally the milk-and-
Observation-Disclosures letter was
evolved and given to the press.
1t promises nothing, and it commits
its writer to nothing. 1t is regarded by
the best men in both parties as a bid
for support, both in the conventions
and at the polls, by either party. In
case of failure of nomination in either
convention, it prepares the way for an
independent run. That Scheffer intends
to run independently no man who has
watched the current of affairs will pre-
tend to contradict. His farmer friends
will insist on this. There is no ques-
ton but what he will be defeated in the
Republican convention. He stands no
earthly show in the Demo-
cratic council. The scheme is,
after the party conventions have
been held, to call a mass meeting in st.
Paul of farmers and laborers of the
state and nominate Albert Scheffer for
governor, and indorse the best men on
both the other tickets for full ticket,
and then sail in for gore. Such trian-
gular contest would be the bittereSt
fight ever seen in Minnesota, and the
result would be very doubtful.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 3.-The execu-

they have not only, in the opinion of
the government, established the fact
that an Innocent man was hanged, but
have placed the crime OH the man who
committed it, and who swore away
Millman's life to save himself from the
gallows. 1t is expected that the muir
derer will be captured within few
