rur uTIIInyATRE cANDJDATE

Tammanys nomination Of its I" flamboyant
millionaire discloSes the hypocrisy Of party
which has always been loud in its professions
of sympathy with the masses. For many years
denunciation of plutocracy, Wall Street imam
ciers, the greed of corporations, and the power
of bankers and millionaires to control the issues
of National and State politics has been the stock
in trade of Democratic journals and campaign
orators. When the spoilsmen who had secured
absolute mastery over the Saratoga Convention
dictated the nomination of MIR. Flower solely
on account of his wealth, they showed their
contempt for the JeflersOnian traditions. They
cynically dethroned the popular gods to which
their press and their campaign leaders were
Offering incense, and set up golden calf for
the worship of the masses.
These are the days of the secret ballot, when
the masses cannot be led up to the polling
places like cattle. Every voter has the priv
ilege of casting his own ballot without undue
solicitation or interference from political work
ers. There will be searching Of the heart in
the retirement of the ballot-booths when the
masses of this town and Brooklyn are required
to vote for a man solely because he is rich and
is lavish with his Doodle.
What has the Democratic party, which has
nominated the Wall Street millionaire, ever done
for the poor men of this country? 1t has been
loud and arrogant always in its professions OF
sympathy, but what has it accomplished for
promoting the welfare of the working masses?
Has it ever done anything to raise the wages of
labor, skilled or unskilled and to protect it
against competition from underpaid workers
abroad? On the contrary, it has arrayed itself
generation after generation against an economic
system which enbles men to work for higher
wages in America than in Europe. Has it ever
done anything TO furnish fresh sources of en-
ployment for the struggling masses Of the New
World? 1t has been most persistent in its hos
tility to protective tariffs by which new Indus
tries have been established and Investigation
of employment has been secured. The ultimate
triumph of the Free-Trade Democracy will in
volye equalization Of wages in the United States
and Europe and the restriction of employment
in the United States by the destruction of many
industries.
L The Republican party has been consistent from
beginning to end in promoting the welfare Of
the toiling millions. by its legislation it has
converted the United State. into a workshop
where employment in manifold industries is
supplied and where wages are the highest paid
in any quarter Of the world. That is a record
on which it can appeal with reason and in good
faith for the support Of working people. 1t is
an issue which ought TO be clearly presented
to the masses Of this town. The Democracy
with its millionaire candidate and its Free-Trade

The Republican State Committee held an IN
spiriting meeting yesterday and comp leted the
preliminary work of the campaign. Mr.. VIII
lam Brookfeld, the efficient presiding officer OF
the New York County Committee, was elected
to succeed General Knapp as chairman OF the
State Committee, and it is generally CONCEDED
that a wiser choice could not have been made.
The meeting resolved itself into conference
of the party leaders. The prospects OF all sec
tons were thoroughly canvassed ana every
where were found to be as bright as possible
The interviews with the committeeman which
are printed elsewhere form good reading Tor
Republicans. Taken as a whole, the party has
never been mole united and earnest With an
invincible ticket and such active work as IS
promised, the result of the election cannot be
considered doubtful.

tons adopted last evening by the German he
publican Central Committee have the right ring.
There is nothing in the Tammany ticket to COM
mend il to German Americans, as those who
usually sympathize with the Democratic party
have not been slow to affirm. The Republican
ticket, however is clean from top to bottom, and
our German citizens can support 1t with right
good will. 1t will not escape notice that in the
resolutions passed last night special commenda-
ton is bestowed upon the temperance plank in
the Rochester platform.

territory will, by the Presidents proclamation
issued yesterday be thrown open foT settle

there will be no violence but there is certain
to be a good deal of hubbub. Naturally there
is intense excitement among the boomers" or

when the news of the Presidents proclamation
reaches them.

Commissioner Gilroy is not indignant with
out cause over the manner in which the work
of laying the Thrd-ave. cable is carried on.
The condition of good part of the avenue is
simply shocking. The threat OF revocation Of
al the permits now out for the work is none
too severe, and the company and its contractors
should not be allowed TO tear up another foot
of pavement unless there is certainty that the
work on the cable will be done in an orderly
and expeditions way. The tremendous up
heavals which the introduction Of cables has
ppduced create doubt whether it is worth
while to make the change.

Tammany is bound to have everything this
year. 1t captured all tho New-York seats in the
convention. 1t nominated one of its own men
for Governor. 1t practically had its own way
at Saratoga. Then it came home, flushed with
victory, and Immediately took possession of all
the election inspectorships in this city. For the
first time in a number of years Tammany has
secured all this patronage, though it has made
g grab at it before and the courts have inter-
posed to secure the County Democrats their
rights. With the decision Of the Convention in

had gone to press yesterday the fol-

shooting of DIR. r. p. Townsend by

ed by Marshall and Moses Meyers,
sons Of Henry Meyers, a merchant
of this place. The weapon used was
a double-harrel gun, loaded with
small shot. +rhe load entered the
right side, driving the torn frag-
ments of the garment far into the
flesh. A full examination of the
sufferers wound was made this
morning and the belief expressed
that he will recover,
1.-THE Meyer brothers were at once
arrested and carried to Russellville,
where they were put under bonds OF
81, 800 each, and their examining
trial set for Monday, May 18th,
"The cause of this difficulty that 50
nearly resulted in the death of one
of Logan county's MIST prominent
men, was an old grudge. The shoot
ing occurred in front of the Bank OF
Adairville."
Further information received to-
day confirms the above. DR.. Town
send is not dangerously wounded and
will recover. The difficulty, as we
understand it from parties who a'e
attending The market to day, grew
out of the prohibition election in
Logan county three years ago, when
the elder Meyers and DR.. Townsend
had difficulty in which several
shots were fired, but the matter was
afterwards adjusted and the parties
had been on good terms. The Meyer
brot are very much censured for
their action in the matter.

BIG FIGHT AT ELKToN.
Three Men Shot and One Stabbed Live
MI Iy Scene on the Streets. Egl


The county convention was held at
Elkton Saturday to send delegates to
the Democratic State convention.
Late in the evening John Watson
and Dock Harris were drinking and
got into a difficulty about some triv-
ial thing. Dock Harris stabbed
Watson in the hip, when Watson
drew his pistol ard commenced
firing. VIM. f. Harris went to
the assistance of his brother,
throwing a brick at Watson and was
shot by Watson, one bullet entering
his stomach and the other passing
through his right wrist. Dock Harris
was shot in the groin, and stray
shot struck Harvey Greenfield in the
leg, inflicting a flesh Wound.l Watson
fred five shots, and some one else in
the crowd fired the shot which struck
Greenfield. W. F. Harris is said to
be MORALLY wounded. He is said to
be a good, peacable citizen and has a
family. He had no part in the quar-
rel, but was drawn into it in defense
of his brother, and was not drinking.
Dock Harris wound is net regard
ed as rerious, nor was Watson much
hurt. Watson is a young man, q
years of age, and does not sustain
the best character, but seemed in
this instance to be acting in self-de-
tense. His examining trial was set
for yesterday.

A SEVERE STORM.
During Which Stable is Burned at La
fayette, Ky.

Reports coming in from the various
towns in Southwestern Ken ucky in
dictate that the storm that passed
over that section of country last Sat
urday night was almost as severe as
the terrible cyclone of a year ago.
Paducah suffered more than any
place, several houses being blown
down, among which was new
Methodist church. It was unusually
severe at Hopkinsville, but no build
ings were blown down.
While the storm was at its height
at Lafayette flames were seen to
burst from the livery stable of Us.
Rsgsdale, and before the building
could be reached it was almost
wrapt in fire. The loft was filled
with hay, feed and other combusti-
BILE materials and the entire structure
was soon in ashes. One horse and
two mules were burned to death be
fore they could be taken from theil
stalls.
The Hopkinsville New Era says
that the work was clearly that of ar
incendiary, and that indignation ran
high at the time. 1t also states that
two white men have been arrested
on charge of burning the stable and
that their examining trial was set fol-
to-day. One of these men, it is
claimed, has already admitted hi,
completely in the damnable deed, in
timating that he was hired by the
other man. Their names are mo-
given by the New Era.
Mr.. Ragsdale's loss, over and above
his insurance, is thought to be in the
neighborhood of $500.
