MORRISON IN THE FIELD.
He Is Willing to be CIeveland's Running Mate
This Fall.

QUINCY, ILL.,, May 15.-The following
letter has been received by prominent
Democrats Of this city:
WASHINGTON, May 81 assume that
you haye seen some newspaper guesses as
to who would like to be on the ticket with
Cleyeland. A reported interview with me
in the Chicago Times of March 16, which
you may have seen, to the effect that l
would like TO have the place, but think
there is slight probability of any one from
our State getting it, is substantially correct.
The same reasons which gave it to lndl-
ana three times are likely to take it there
the fourth. Much is said of divisions etc.,
in that State, but the same is true of every
State. At least expect Indiana to claim
the place, and she will hardly be refused.
1t is said the tariff measures will hurt US
in Connecticut and New Jersey, if any
whee. If so, Indiana is more than ever
necessary TO our success, and the request
of the delegation from that State is likely
to control the Convention. True, it can
be otherwise, and some one from our State
may have chance However slight this
chance may be, do not want to be cut off
from it, as would be if the State instruct
ed for some one else. So I would be glad
if our friends would cooperate and send
an uninstructed delegation. This cuts out
nobody, and leaves other States free to Sc
ect from our State, while with Instructions
for any one, all not instructed for would
be excluded.
The reduction of taxes being uppermost,
the situation is favorable to man with my
relations to the question, unless our party s
necessities require an Indiana man, as they
probably do.
Please act on these suggestions as far as
you think right and practicable.
Respectfully yours,
W. R. MORRISON.

A Very Tough Boy.

About two weeks ago, Charles Angle,
of Eagle Mills, North Carolina, q boy
about seven years old, was leading a
COW, having the rope tied by slip knot
to his arm, when the COW ran away with
him. He was dragged headlong over
rocks and stumps, his body dislodging
large rocks from the ground and some
times not striking the earth for dis,
tance of ten feet, The cow ran until
she got into a wheat field, where she
got the rope around stump, the boy s
head against the stump, when she pulled
until she broke the rope and freed her,
self of her burden. The boy was bruised
from head to heels and his face and head
were gashed all over, but no bones were
broken and in few days time he was
in as good shape as ever.

4 Great Enforcement.

Roscoe Conkling expressed himself in
private conversation to friend thus con
cerning the political situation, which re-
mains unchanged: ITO judge OF the cali
bre Of the men now leading the Republican
party, you need only to read John Sher'
mans speech attacking the Presidents mes
sage. In the first place, the message is
criticised by these Republican orators on
the ground that it is free trade, ridiculous
and fallacious and deceptive criticism.
Every disinterested citizen knows only too
well that of all the statesmanlike utterances
of the past six months the Presidents mes
sage takes the first place The pronuncis-
mento that followed it from wonderful
American statesman in Paris was buncombe
and Mr.. Sherman's effort was no better.
In the second place, Mr.. Sherman can find
only one other ground on which to abuse
the message-the President recommends
economyr'-Bufalo Courier.

they have done so much to relieve the
lost and bring home the wandering, and
they have so long held up the idea Of
eternal rest after the paroxyism of this
life is over. Turn the st. Peters and
St. Pauls and the temples and taberna-
cles into clubhouses. Away with those
churches!
"Forward, march! ye great army of
infdels and atheists, and next of all they
scatter the Sabbath schools, the Sabbath
schools filled with bright-eyed, bright
checked little ones who are singing songs
on Sunday afternoon and getting in
struction when they ought to be on the
street corners playing marbles or swear
ing on the commons. Away with them!
s'But on, ye great army of intidels aid
atheists, on! They will attempt to scale
heaven. There are heights to be taken.
Pile hill on hill and Pelion upon Ossa,
and then they hoist the ladders against
the walls of heaven. On and on until
they blow up the foundations of jasper
and the gates of pearl. They charge up
the steep. Now they aim for the throne
of Him who iveth forever and ever.
They would take down from their high
place the Father, the Son, the Holy
Ghost. Down with them!' they say.
Down with Him from the throne! they
say. Down forever Down out of
sight! He is not God. He hiss no right
to sit there. Down with Him! Down
with Christ
ga world without head, universe
without a king. Orphan considerations.
Fatherless galaxies. Anarchy supreme.
A dethroned Jehovah. An assassinated
God. Patricide, regicide, decide. That
is what they mean. That is what they
will have, if they can, if they can, if
they can. Civilization hurled back into
semi barbarism, and semi-barbarism
driven back into Hottentot savagery.
The wheel of progress turned the other
way, and turned toward the dark ages.
The clock of the centuries put back two
thousand years.
"Oh, my friends, there has never been
such nefarious plot on earth as that
Shich infdelity and atheism have
planned. We were shocked few years
ago because OF the attempt to blow up
the Parliament Houses in London; but
if infdelity and atheism succeed in their
attempt, they will dynamite a world.
Let them have their full way and this
world will be a habitation of three
rooms-a habitation with Just three
rooms: the one madhouse, another
lazaretto, the other pandemonium.
These infdei bands of music have only
just begun their concert-yea, they have
only been stringing their instruments.
I to-day put before you their whole
from beginning unto close.
In the theatre the tragedy comes first
and the farce afterward; but in this in
fdel drama of death, the farce comes
first and the tragedy afterward. And
in the former the atheists and infdels
laugh and mock, but in the latter God
will laugh and mock. He says
so: I will laugh at their calamity and
mock when their fear cometh.'
"From such a chasm of individual,
national, worldwide ruin stand back.
Oh, young men, stand back from that
chasm! You see the practical drift OF
my sermon. want You to know where
that road leads. Stand back from that
chasm OF ruin"

with razor Saturday. died yesterday. The
suicide was employed until a few weeks
ago in the cooperage of Lowell M. Palmer
at North Fourth street and Kent avenue.
Since bis discharge he found it impossi-
bic to secure employment, and in order to
purchase bread for his family was COM
pelled to sell his little household effects.
On Saturday the family parted with the
last of their furniture and they are now ID
distressed circumstances. This so preyed
upon Ford's mind that be determined to
end his life in order that his family might
receive the small insurance upon his life to
keep them from starvation. Before COM
hitting his rash act he wrote this letter to
his wife in small account book:
BROOKLYN, May 10.
DEAR AND BELOVED WIFI must take

surance on it. I lost my health in the
blizzard when I went to Jersey City for

after some O1SCuSSlOu dlo al aGGeIupG u
fix the date at issue at August lst:
Resolved by this convention, That the
constitution Of the Democrat party Of
South Carolina be amended by striking
out the second provisc of the last para
graph of the thirteenth article thereof,
which is in these words: Provided
futher, that no election, either for dele.
gates to a convention or under primary
plan, shall be hereafter held prior to the
first day of September In every year.
ENDORSING CLEVELAND AND TARIFF REFORM
The following resolutions, offered by
Major Buist of Charleston, were unani.
mously adopted on the recommendation
of the committee appointed:
Resolved lst, That the Democratic
party of the State of South Carolina in
State Convention assembled do hereby
express their unqualified appreciation of
the administration of President Cleve-
land and their desire for his renomina-
ton and reelection.
Resolved End, That in President Cleve-
land the Democracy of South Carolina
recognize an exalted type Of American
manhood. inasmuch as he is mindful of
official responsibilities, fearless in official
action and steadfast in the face of i'm
portunity.
Resolved Sd, That President Cleveland,
in his public life, exempli6es the simp-
icity without parsimony, the dignity
without exclusiveness, which should
mark the character and conduct of one
who is higher than all other rulers, IN
being the embodiment of the sovereign
majesty of more than 60,000,000 people.
Resolved, 4th, That the enormous ex-
cess of public revenue over the necessary
and proper public expenditure is in
itself startling evidence of needless and
therefore unjust taxation. The millions
so withdrawn from trade and industry
are barren Of legitimate fruit, and are in
themselves menace to the business Of
the whole country.
Resolved, 9TH, That the message Of
President Cleveland, advocating a re-
duction in the revenue. by lowering the
taxation on the necessaries OF life, and
the raw material of manufacture, meets
with our hearty and thorough approval
as statesmanlike and practical way in
which the overburdened people can be
relieved without injury to labor or dan
ger to capital.
The sixth resolution was rejected upon
the unfavorable report of the committee.
1t is as follows:
Resolved, 9th. That, recognizing the
necessity for concession in order to &C.
cure liberal measure of tariff reform,
we give to the tariff bill, reported by the
Committee on Ways and Means and
known as the Mills bill, our cordial ap-
proval, and urge the Democracy of the
country to accept it as measure which
will make life easier to the people at
large, increase the opportunities of
manufacturers, and maintain the present
high position of enlightened American
labor.
On motion, Major G. L. Buist, of
Charleston, was called to the chair. A
resolution of thanks to the President for
his courteous and efficient discharge of
his duties was unanimously adopted.
Col. Pope responded in brief but earn
est speech, which was loudly applauded.
The Convention then adjourned sine
die.

ELECTRICITY rs a Motive Power.

With 130 miles of electric railroad in
operation in the country and $50 more in
process of construction, the problem OF
the economical application of electricity as
a motive power is far from settled. The
chief question lies between the conduit
system and the running of cars by power
from stored batteries. The latter method
is criticised as expensive and ineffective,
while the adoption of the former is delayed
by the necessity of radical changes in ex-
isting lines. The general use OF electricity
as motive poWer is probably near at hand.
But much yet remains to be done before
confidence cnn be placed in its operations
on important Lines.

sI suppose Cleveland will be renomi-
mated by your party?"
ssUndoubtedly. What nominated
Grover Cleveland in 1884 was the fact
that he carried New York State by near
ly 100000. It WAS foregone conclu-
sion in 1884 that he would De noml-

elbow is Cleveland's strength in New
York to-day?'
.I think the Presidents chances on
election day this year for carrying New
York State will be even better than on
election day in 1884. He will lose some
votes, it is true, but he will gain many
others"
Chow about the Irish vote?"
"Ihere is not so much dissatisfaction
in the Irish vote this year as there ex-
listed in 1884.
.'What about Blsine's strength in New
York;"
ssBlaine has some elements Of strength
in New York State, and some elements
of weakness, which other candidates do
not possess. There are few Repubh-
cans, however, who could poll q larger
vote in New York. Such ticket as
Gresham and Miller (meaning Warner
Miller) would probably bring out the
strongest vote in New York State"
BLAINE AND DEpEw.
"What about Chauncey NJ. Depew?"
"Depew is going to have the delega-
ton from New York State after Blaine.
You will find the delegation divided be-
tween Blaine and Depew. My own
Judgment is that Blaine did not want to
run, and unless he signifies himself as
not wanting the nomination in stronger
terms than in his recent letter, and If he
is on the sea when the Republican Con-
vention meets, it will be taken by his
friends that he will consent to run. In
fact, everything points to Blaine's nomi-
nation"

candidate in New York;

man would poll as large a vote In New
York as the other so-called candidates. y

This is as charming a piece of work

aboanding in strong situations, it
has no recourse to the supernatural

scene is laid in Africa, of course,
