tiouary and unconstitutional. 1t de-
nounces the Mckinley bill as the "most
outrageous measure Of taxation ever
proposed In the American congress-

and says the farmers now want what the
democrats have been demanding for
years. 1t favors the election of senators
by the people and approves the work of
the last general assembly. On the second

tary of state. j. A. F. Mitchell was chos-
en- by acclamation to succeed himself as

Record,

h Keats Nau,ona and Lowers the
Record.
NEW YORK, August 2S.-The Mon
mouth park meeting came to a close to.
day in a burst of glory. Haggin's grand
horse, Salvador, lowered the mile record
by three and three quarter seconds, ran
ming the distance wei a straight track
with no pounds upon him in 1851.
There was long delay after the bell
sounded and when Salvador did finally
make his appearance, accompanied by
Rosette and Namona, the pace makers,
loud cheers went up. After the start
Salvador and Namona left Roselle way
behind. Nainona went off her feet and
was 10 lengths past the starting post be
fore Salvador reached it and going at a
hot pace. When the half mile post was
reached Salvador had distanced Namona
20 lengths and was making rapid strides
after Rosette, who had just been started.
Rosette, who is very speedy for five fur
longs, ran under pun anu made u spleI-
did pace-maker for Salvador.
The people on the grand stand who
had watches were stanalng in open
mouthed amazement at the horses won
derful speed. The quarter had been
travelled in 1874 seconds; the half in 4911s
seconds, and Salvador showed no signs of
firing. The watches showed 1114 at
the three-quarter post, and a furlong
further Bergen begun riding the gallant
chestnut. He brought him past the wire
like a whirlwind. At once there fell a
hush on the spectators. The way in
which the timekeepers acted indicated
that the record had been beaten. When
the figures 1855 were put up there was
wild excitement among the spectators,
which lasted the remainder of the day.
