" ithdraWal from Public Life.
lBy United Press.

lBy United Press
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 13-Ex Senator
A. G. Thurman tonight announced
his absolute and unequivocal with
drawal from public life. The
occasion selected by the venera-
BILE statesman for this declaration
was the banquet rendered to him by the
political club which bears her name in
honor of the 77th anniversary Of bis
birth. 1t was towards the close of an
address delivered at times with consider
able difficulty, and in voice that could
be heard but few yards distant that,
suddenly gathering up his strength,
and throwing his shoulders backward,
while his eyes swept the great throng
that had gathered to do him homage he
spoke as follows: my friends, let me
say to you in all sincerity and without
the least mental reservation, that am
not nor shall be again candidate for
Office"
Ex-President Cleveland followed Judge
Thurman, answering to the toast, "Citi-
zenship in America"
Other toasts were responded to by
Senator Mcdonald, General Thomas
| Ewing, Hon. W. G. P. Breckenridge and
Hon. John NJ. Dickinson.

Rev. Tom Dixon In New York.

Rev. Tom Dixon seems to be wading
in rather deep in New York. In an edi-
torial, the World says: Whether the
Mayor takes notice or not OF the Rev.
Mr.. Dixon's assertion that he was "a
self-confessed criminal" before the late
election, Mr.. Dixon's parishioners ought
to inquire about it if they regard as still
in force that commandment which SAYS
''Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor."
The daily state chronicle. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 188?-1891, 1890-11-14

To attempt to reverse the current of
true AmericaniSm and discredit the most
honorable sentiments belonging to
American manhood, wera the disgraceful
tasks Of those who insulted our people
by the announcement of the doctrine
that to desire Uheapness was to love mas
tlness, and to practice economy and
trugallty was unAmerlcan.
Thus do we plainly see that when the
path pointed out by patriotism and
American citizenship is forsaken bv a
party in power, for schemes Of selfish
ness and for unscrupulous conspiracies
for partisan success, its course ineyita-
bly, leads to unjust favoritism, neglect
OF the interest of the masses, entire per
version of the mission Of Republican in
stitutlons, and, in some form, TO the
most impudent and outrageous insult to
true American sentiment.
The noise of recent political revolu-
tion is still heard throughout the land; ;
the people have just demonstrated that
there is point beyond which they can
not be led by blind partisanship, and
that they are quite competent to examine
and correctly decide political questions
| concerning their rights and their well
fare. They have numerically resented
every attack upon true American man
hood, and have taught party leaders
that, though slow to anger, they take
terrible reyenges when betrayed. They
have decreed that the Decalogue has a
place in our politics, for they have en-
forced the command Thou shalt not
steal" and have rendered an emphatic
verdict against those who have borne
false witness.

Three Men Who Clung to the Rugged

LONDON, Nov. IS Later advices from
Cape Buey, in the province of Corunna,
Spain, the scene Of the wreck Of the
British torpedo cruiser Serpent, state
that at eleven o'clock Monday night, in
the midst Of an impenetrable darkness,
the warship struck the reefs, bows on.
She was hurled upon the rocks with
such tremendous force that tn ir Jagged
edges tore her steel as readily as match
might be split by the sharpest
knife. A moment later a nam
moth wave lifted the cruiser
high above the reef, only to dash her
back upon its stony face the next in
slant with great hole stove in her bot
tom. With the next sea the unfortunate
vessel slipped from the rocks into deep
water. Through the awful gap in her
hull the water rushed In by the hundreds
of tons, and then, in the midst of the
awful blackness Of the night, the howl,
ing Of the wind and the hoarse roar Of
the waters, beating against the fatal
reef, the cruiser Serpent, with nearly
300 men, plunged to the bottom of the
ocean
At the moment of the fearful catastro-
phe the great majority of the ships COM
pany were below deck, unconscious that
death was all around them They
never reached the deck. On deck,
those whose duties kept them there,
| found themselves so suddenly confronted
with the deadly peril that it was impos-
| sible for them to launch a single boat.
| The overwhelming, 50 sudden and COM
plete was the disaster that Of the great
ships company no human being made q
sign or uttered a cry as they were swal
lowed up by the waters.
The three wretched survivors OF tat
calamity, torn by the cruel rocks tC
which they marvelously clung until res
cued, have been removed to the hos pital
where they are now being cared for
They will be ordered home to England
as soon as their condition will permit O
their removsl, to testify before the in
QuIry which will be held by the boarl
OF admiralty.
