TAKEN TO TASK.
Secretary Fairchiid demonstrates
with Mugwump Curtis.

WASHINGTON, June e24.-Secretary Fair
child has written long letter to George
William Curtis, President OF the New
York Civil Service Reform Association,
protesting against his letters and editorial
criticisms on the matter of removals in
the New York Custom House. The Sec
retary declares he did only his duty in
removing certain persons in connection
with the sugar appraisements
and points to the fact that
since these removals, the Government
has collected $500 day more in New
York on sugar than it did before. He
also points out that by them the Secretary
OF the Treasury is only accountable for
abuses OF the kind mentioned, and he
has nobody else, Congressman or
politician, to divide the blame with him.
The Secretary says in conclusion:
81 hope these facts are sufficient to
convince all unprejudiced and fair
minded persons, that knowingly have
not previously sinned against the ideas
and principles OF Civil Service Reform,
in the merit and Importance OF which
my faith is by no means lessened, but
rather increased by the experience which
| have SO dearly and sadly bought.
| can see many things to criticize
in my management OF this whole
business, and had l it to do over again and
with my present knowledge Of it should
do many things differently. i have
feared l might be blamed for too great
conservatism, perhaps for timidity, in
that l have proceeded so slowly and eau
tiously in the correction of evils, the
magnitude and importance of which have
gradually dawned upon my memory. At
times l have even feared the suspicion
might get abroad, and that the influence
OF professed friends Of the Administra-
ton and the officers appointed by it, has
caused me to be over cautious and too
conservative in regard to these matters.
l can, therefore, hardly express my sur
prise, when | found myself SO bitterly
assailed by men OF reputed good stand
ing and character for the little beginning
which / had made in what seemed to
me the direction of my duty"

DEATH IN THE wATERs.
Six Members of am Excursion Party
Drowned.

NEWARK, N. j., June PA party of
sixteen ladies and gentlemen hired the
steam yacht Olivette and left this city at
o'clock last Eight. 1t being flood tide
the jetty at the mouth of the bay was
covered with water. The pilot had
scarcely got his bearing when he heard
sharp grating sound, and realizing he
was on the ietty, stopped the engine.
Several Of the male passengers jumped
overheard on the jetty and on doing SO
the boat lurched and slid off into deep
water The girls then made rush for
the side OF the boat. This caused her to
keel over suddenly, and in second she
turned bottom side up. The air
was Immediately filled with screams
for help from score OF per-
sons struggling for their lives in
the water. The cries were heard at
Greenville and other points on the bay,
and rescuers soon went to the scene Of
the accident, but when the boats arrived
it was found that six Of the party had
been swept away and drowned. The
lost are Louis Croft aged 20 Gussis
Lutz, aged 20; Lizzie, Celius, aged 25
Minnie Burger, aged 10 Gussie Webber,
aged 10, and Annie Frick. Fred Chris
topher, one Of the rescued, was engaged
to be married to Annie Frick, who was
drowned. Early this morning crowd
of people, including relatives and friends
OF the drowned, left the city to aid in the
search for the bodies. Only one body
was recovered, that of Annie Frick, which
was found by the father Of Minnie
Burger. another victim.
The bodies Of young Croft and the
| five girls we're discovered late tonight.
The remains we're viewed by County
Physician Hewlett and then turned over
to the relatives. A sweeping investiga-
ton will be made by the Coroner. The
news of the accident created the widest
excitement and thousands of people
fiocked to the scene during the day.

"BLAINE-OR.BUST;,
Programme Lacks Confirmation
A Brood of stool Pigeons.


the Blaine. or. Bust" programme is not
sanctioned by Blaine himself. The plan
OF opposition is simply to stand firm and
waite for Blaine himself to speak, or for
his representatives to force the issue.
The feeling is that if Blaine does not
settle the matter the Convention will
have to settle it, and that the Convention
cannot sincerely 90 about the business of
choosing leader as long as this Blaine
| spectre hangs over it.
The Convention tomorrow morning
will face the fact that the candidates
whom Elkins processes to have killed
are still in the race. They are in
for the purpose of winning ii possible,
and determined at all hazards to prevent
the nomination OF Blaine. To-morrow's
| balloting is likely to show repetition of
the ballots OF Saturday. While these
candidates are in the field, Elkins will
not dare carry out the programme OF
stampeding the Convention, because he
has not heard authoritatively from Blaine.
Thus a deadlock will appear, and unless
Blaine himself cuts the knots and sets
the Convention free to act upon its own
Responsibility, the Convention NAV sit
for several days, without reaching a So
which it is now surrounded.
THE DARK HORSE RACKET.
There has been much talk OF Mckinley
as dark horse. There is no doubt Nc
Kinley has made fine impression and is
popular on his own account, but it has
been noticed that those who are doing all
in their power to press him to the front
were Blaine men. In the conference of
candidates, the Blaine influence has been
exerted in favor of Mckinley as the
leader OF the opposition forces. Ii this
effort to induce the other candidates to
withdraw and bring Mckinley forward as
a dark horse succeeds, Blaine will be
nominated. The logic OF this is easily
perceived. Blaine cannot in honor take
this nomination if secured by running
over candidates who entered the field and
did the best they could for themselves
but if these candidates voluntarily with
draw, and dark horse takes their place,
no obligation rests upon Blaine as to the
new conner. who has not been a candi-
date, and whose friends have put forth
no efforts in his behalf, on the SUPPOSE
ton that Blaine was out OF the race.
THE FORAKER STOOL PIGEON.
An eHort mas also Deen maze by the
Blaine people to get Foraker to stand as
dark horse, and Foraker has posed be-
fore the Convention with that purpose in
view, on the distinct understanding that
II the anti-Blane influence could be in
duced to rally about him, Blaine was to
beat him out, the Vice Presidency being
his reward.
An effort has also been made to play
upon the ambition Of Mckinley, but
without success. Mckinley has been
loyal to Sherman. An effort is also being
made to bring Cullom forward as a dark
horse, thus destroying Gresham, and in
due time similar effort may be made to

chief reason for the caucus tonight
was to obviate anything contem-

ton. The Maine delegates had mem
toned tonight, for some length Of time,
to combat any rash or foolish action on
the part Of hasty friends, and then / was
called in, together with several
other gentlemen who are not
delegates and therefore had no
right to place in the caucus. / cannot
say to you that there will be no stamped

their day in the Convention, and then if
there is no nomination, and if the repre-

Associated L Press Dispatches to the HERALD
BUFFALO, June PA week ago dis
pute arose as to the relative heights OF
the steeples OF st. Mary's and st. Mich
ael's Catholic Churches. One of the
parties to the discussion was Charles Sui
iivan and ne volunteered TO decide it.
He was a carpenter and considered him-
self an expert in building spires. This
afternoon he procured couple of
spools of wire and at 3:10 o'clock,
went with friends to the man
in charge OF the bells in the tower
Of st. Michael's Church, on Washingtonl
street, and assured him he had an order
from one of the church authorities to GO
into the belfry. The bellman refused to
let him go without an order from the
priest. While the party were arguing,
Sullivan slipped past and climbed out Of
the tower and to the roof, and seizing a
lightning rod began to ascend the steeple.
He went up rapidly and without obstacle
until he nearly reached the foot Of the
cross at the apex of the tower, when the
rod broke and he fell headlong distance
Of one hundred feet, making one COM
plete revolution in his descent. He
struck the roof with sound like the re-
port Of q gun, breaking through the tin
with which the roof is covered. His
body lay upon the roof without motion.
Aid was called from neighboring en-
gine house and the firemen, by means Of
an extension ladder, brought the body
down, and a patrol wagon took Il to the
morgue. Death was evidently instantan-
eous. The victims neck and back were
broken

SOME OF our Republican contemporaries
show disposition to praise their national
platform. 1t was j. Men,. Shafter, a
leading California Republican, who said
that platform pledges were molasses to
catch flies. There is considerable sac
charine matter in the document formu-
lated at Chicago, but the people are too
fly to be caught with it. An old trick OF
the party OF great moral ideas was to
claim that the prosperity and growth Of
the nation were due to Republican mis-
rule. They even referred the growing OF
the grass and the huckleberries to the
fact that the Robesons and Reaches and
Belknaps held sway at Washington. The
Dickey birds say that this old pretense
and humbug have served their day. and
that glib and lying Inscriptions of merit
are no longer accepted without scrutiny.
Promise without performance no longer
counts for much with the voter.

NEVER in the history OF the United
States has the National debt been re.
duced with such rapidity as under, Cleve-
lands administration. Democrats are
delighted 10 know, also, that never since
the Constitution was formulated has
there been such general and substantial
prosperity as during the same period.
This is true OF all sections OF the country,
East, North, South and West. The at
tempt to reopen the Southern question
will be looked upon oy all sensible people
with special disfavor. Both the South
and the country are satisfied, and the
only disgruutled people are the Republi-
can politicians.
