CLEVELAND AND THURMAN. :


1t Is Grand Ticket and VIII $50 erano
Victory
The mature reformer and the venerable
statesman comprise the ticket. Inc greaG
administrator and the profound 1urlst LEAD
the party. The skillful executive and the
grand expounder of the constitution are
united in the cause OF the people. Inc
man of destiny and the sage of Ohio re-
ceive the highest honors Of the Democ-
racy. The chieftain in the prime of life
and the aged but undaunted hero of an
hundred fights are together presented to
the SURFACES of the nation.
The men are alike In the substance of
their characters. Each is aggressively
true. The distinction of each rests on
implacable hostility to public wrongs.
Each is a name to conjure with, force to
win with wherever integrity needs
friend, uprightness an example, courage
an illustration, manhood type, faith in
the people an incentive, devotion to the
supreme law model, reliance on con-:
science a vindication, and the reward of
honesty proof. Cleveland is the Thur
man Of the new Democracy Thurman
Is the Cleveland of the better days Of
the republic It has devolved on
the president to lead his party to
victory, and, happier than Moses, to go
with them into the possession and reclaim
alton of the promised land. It has de-
yolyed many q time on his illustrious COL
league to head the forces of the constitu-
ton against the victorious cohorts of
Capitalization, to deserve success while
not achieving it, and to await with phi
losophy the return of reason to an impas-
stoned people. Had the fiat of the AL
mighty cast the time and lot of Cleveland
in the period and tasks of Thurman, the
qualities and record of the New Yorker
would have wrought out for him his
tory not unlike to that of the son of Ohio.
Had the latter been confronted with the
duties assigned to the chief magistrate,
he would have performed them with the
same indomitable resolution.
Both in dissimilar environment have
displayed analogous characteristics. To
neither is indirection possible. In the one
is the same wholesome simplicity that is
In the other By each is the same judi
cially clear intellect exhibited. By both
is the same tendency to repose action on
the bed rock of principle constantly shown.
Not will it win or lose? but should it be
done? is the question asked by the minds
of both. In standing by the compromises
of the Federal compact, Thurman exhib-
tied strength of purpose and clarity
of vision not exceeded by Cleveland when
enforcing the reforms Of the later time.
Neither has found any work for the honor
of the r1ar.tv and for the veal of the neo-

Crew of Schooner Clara.
SPECIAL to the Press


RocKLAND. July 20.-A story of ship
wreck and narrow escape from drowning
comes from Hurricane Island. During the
tempest of Wednesday, the 18th, schooner
Clara, of st. John, N. b., wood laden, struck
ledge near Little Hurricane Island, and
sunk. The schooner and cargo of 100 cords
of wood were owned by the captain. The
mishap was the result of defective COM
pass. The vessel struck at II o'clock at
night, and sunk at in the morning, her
stern being stove in. The crew were all
saved. Their first attempt to escape was in
a small boat, which was capsized, spilling
them into the water. They managed with
difficulty to get back to the schooner. They
then made a raft of the vessels matches and
other material at hand, and attempted to es-
cape on that, but the raft was quickly washed
to pieces, and they again succeeded in get
ting back to the schooner by means of life
lines. There then seemed no way of escape,
the sea running very high, but fortunately
the mainmast gave way, and fell toward the
shore in such way as to afford them per-
ilous passage to the island. The vessel sank
Immediately after the escape of the last man.
The captain and men were taken from the
island the next day by the steamer Hurri-

AN EXTENSIVE PLOT.
Anarchists all over the Country to be
Arrested.

CHICAGO, July 2O.-Inspector Bonfeld has
now copies OF secret circular differing but
little from the famous Revenge" circular
with which August Spies called the fatal
Haymarket meeting two years ago last May.
The paper is headed Revenge and calls
for active steps ON the part of the old time
Anarchists to avenge the 'sblood-thirsty
murder of the martyrs" Spies, Parsons,
Lingg, Engel and Fischer. The paper is
being distributed secretly among the An
archist groups.
1t is not an Improbable discovery as it win
lead to the arrest of prominent Anarchists
ali over the country. The police are only
waiting until the chain of evidence is com
pleted
Chebowa and Chapek, the Anarchists,
furnished bonds of So, 900 each last evening
and have been released. Hronek, the arch
conspirator, is still in confinement and
doubtless will so remain. Inspector Bon
field says the case is complete with the
three arrests already made One or two
others may have known of the plot but not
to the extent that they could be connected.
The Inspector denies the report of Cheb0-

Cnawing For His Life.
[Eastport Sentinel.l


During the severe blow last Wednesday
night the fishing schooner Randolph an
chored at Harbor Delute, Campobello,
dragged from her moorings and went adrift.
There was no one on board as the crew all
lived near by and were ashore for the night.
In the morning the skipper, Capt. Malloch,
went in search Of his craft and found her
on Spruce Island point. He boarded her and
hOisted the foresail A stiff breeze from the
west carried her off the rocks, but as a hole
had been stove in her bottom and she was
half full of water she capsized and sank in
ten fathoms of water. Capt. Malloch jumped
into the boat which was made fast to the
stern Of the schooner. He tried in vain to
unite the line which held her, but the strain
was so great it was impossible. He had
nothing with him to cut it, and as the boat
was fast disappearing below the surface and
himself with it, he grabbed the rope with
splendid set of teeth with which nature had
fortunately furnished him, and by. dint OF
vigorous gnawing finally succeeded in cut
ting in two nine strand rope, and freeing
his boat, but not until his head had been
drawn under water number Of times IN MS
efforts to unfasten the rope. The schooner
was owned in Yarmouth, N. s., and had
complete fit out for a fishing cruise. She
was total loss with everything on board.
