UNRELIABLE.
Cleveland Leader.

Cleveland Leader.
In 1888, three or four so-called "labor
candidates" were elected to the General
Assembly from this city ON theDemocrat-
ic ticket. Every one of them sold out to
the Payne crowd, although workingmen
all over the State were protesting against
Payne's election. Last fall, half doz-
en- or more Democratic labor candidates
were elected to like positions in various
parts of the State, and they have all
been Briced. In return for votes for
Senator, the Brice men have elected a
"workingman" Speaker of the House,
All of which goes to show that the "la-
Dor candidates" of the Democratic par
ty are unsafe and unreliable, aud that
they easily and willingly suecumb to
the influence of money.

THE Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling
Railroad has piece of dangerous track
near West Wheeling, made more treach
erous by the late rains, which caused it to
slip toward the river. On Sunday, while
a train loaded with steel was passing
over this track it suddenly veered toward
the river, and the train is described as
looking like worm fence before it got
over. The promptness of the engineer
in pulling the throttle wide open and get
ting out with great speed, probably saved
the whole train from landing in the river.
