WEEKLY CHAMPION
Why Daua Opposes Cleveland.

The Western Spirit, very live ly journal conducted by Mir. B. .. Sheridan at Paola, Miami County, Kansas propounds to us some questions, which, upon such a de- mand, we are quite ready to auswe :
 "Why does the Sun, that since the day threatened imperialism of Grant has been the str ID est news paper, offensive and defensive in behalf Of Jeffersonian Democ acy, GSht Grover Clefeiaad, the second Democratic President of these Uni . ed States elected since 1856 and the first one to take his seat2 A flank, fair answer to this qJe' iion would probably be puhlisied by thousands of Democratic papers, East and Vest"
 l. Because G oyer CleveianG i pot Je6erso9ian Democrat.
 ?. Because he is not Demo""' at all, but flst, last, alt, exci iSei a promoter of Grover CIeyelau',.
 3. Because, tbough electe President of the United States as ; Democrat, his administration wa not conducted for the establisIInen of Democratic ideas or for t..'e bone fit of the Democracy, but fot Cn pc. 4oual a agsiandizement C.

 6. Because he is now p 'es1in.., to be devoted to the anti-Oemo- cratic AustiaIien scheme fof the abolition of tae well-estajisie,' Democratic policy o universal s. frage.
 7. Because, in t5e Iau3 lase O Mr. Tilden, ''he is the mosG se'fs: politician l have eve; Fno"+."

We also favor Hon. James G.. Blain's re-

We most heartily endorse the action Of

A dastardly attempt to wreck pas
senger trains was made on the 3Oth
ult., near Karners, about seven milea
west of Albany, N. Y. BY almost y
miracle the Chicago express, heavily
laden with passengers and going at
lightning speed, was brought TO a.
standstill within twenty feet of q pile
OF heavy ties and railroad iron placed
across the track. The tracks at this
point are supposed to be guarded by
Pinkerton men, but somehow the
train wreckers passed the guard and
laid the trap behind the shelter OF one
of the numerous freight trains stalled
at that point. The attempt was made
in a most systematic way, for both the
switchman and Pinkerton guard
were locked up in their houses. AT
about FIVE minutes OF the time tho
train was due the switchman started
to leave the shanty, but found him
self a prisoner While trying to get
out he heard the thunder of the
approaching train. Suspecting dan
or he cried for help and then burst the
door down. As he got out the train
came down at terrible speed, and
then for the first time the switchman
saw the pile of ties on the track. He
had no time TO get his lantern, but
with the Pinkerton men who had gath
cred, got on thetrack and yelled. The
engineer saw them and putting ON his
air-brakes reversed his lever and
brought his train to standstill, Very
few OF the 200 passengers were made
aware of the danger. An attempt was
made. and successfully, to wreck q
train at Greenbush. A coupling pin
was dropped in between tracks OF a
switch and freight train was derail-
ed. Traffic was delayed five hours
At the delaware Il Hudson yard de
tectives found coupling pin placed
on track SO as to throw a train on.
The strikers claim that these acts are
done by outside parties.
