the strikers the whole length Of the ave.

taunts Of the people asit passed along.
Acar which had been lying at the
river front all day was started up the
bill late this afternoon. The word was
quickly passed and in q short time about
fifteen thousand people packed the
broad avenue from the north side OF
Jefferson avenue down to the river. The
car started up the hill at break.neck
speed. The mob closed about the car.
A man leaped from among the crowd
and srasped the teams brides. The
driver whipped his horses. The man
was dragged from his feet and pulled all
the way across the street, but he held on,
ran the horses into buggy and stopped
the car.
In the meantime, number Of bug.
gies, trucks, ETC., had been run across
the tracks. The dozen policemen on the
car tried 10 remove them, but could not.
Then Strathearn Hendrie, the treas
urer Of the company, got upon the front

ETC., went up. Bricks began TO fly
through the car windows and II looked
as II car, driver, policemen, Hendrie
and all would be torn to pieces. Hen.
dries discretion evidently got the better
OF his vRlor then and the car was started
back to the river.
The crowd pursued It and unhitching
the horses tried to run the car into the
river. A ferry boat coming into the
dock Just at that moment prevented
them carrying out their design. At this
point the crowd was charged by force
Of police and clubbed numerically. Re.
voIyeEs were drawn, and for o few mo- |
ments It looked as II there was to be |
bloodshed, but the police presented
sturdy front and effected some arrests,
which quickly quieted the crowd con.
siderably. It began to rain shortly after |
and the crowd dispersed.

MI. Clsrkson defined reciprocity a.

II the silver question Is settled, the Sit
nation will be greatly cleared. The seat
of Republican power, the West, will
never consent TO see the treasures OF the

West will not consent to any candidate
or any platform that will not represent
the double standard idea, and the great

that will not represent silver as money

"The next Republican candidate for
President" said Mr.. Clarkson, must be
man broad enough to cover this broad
land and able to administer Justice on

10 all National interests. President
Harrison has made faithful executive

the aolidity of the party in the great
agricultural region west OF the Mlssis-
Gppi. The candidate must not only be

Mr.. Clarkson Faid he believed that
Mr.. Cleveland will be the next Demo
cratic candidate. II his personal views
on the silver question do not quite suit
the South and West he will make them
suit. He feels that the gold people will
trust him anyway, and as the Western
and Southern Democrats believe in him
as man Of destiny, he can successfnlly
hypnotize them ON the silver question,

dent Cleveland is one Of the smartest
politicians that his party has ever had,
aud the Republican party has always
updeyestimated him in this respect,
