The Democrats OF New York have
ut last gratiiied tho aspirations OF

nominated him TO be their candidate
for governor OF that state at the
coming November election. Mr..
Flower has been before the people of
New York for a number OF years as
an applicant for political preicrment
IN first one capacity and then another.
He removed from his home IN northern
New York. and located in the metrop-
oils. where. By reason OF his great
wealth he succeeded IN elevating him
self into Congress His ehlcfest claim
for consideration always has been the
fact that he IL a liberal contributor

name was mentioned in connection
with tho nomination for the Presl-
i,icury In the convention OF 1884 and
again in 1883. but both times his pos

Plight OF rsamr OF Posen /"

When mars even hardened Grim
inai. commits n murder he is always
surrounded by any number OF vapid
sentimertalists. This seems TO be the
case with actor NJ. r. Curtiss. who
killed a policeman while drunk, in
San Francisco a few nights since.
This much might be said in sympathy
with Curtiss. the shooting was unfor-
tunate and unp-ovoked, judging from
the story the wires tell. all of which
has been confirmed by later details.
Curtiss was In the thcater with his
wife the forcpart OF the evening. but
left her to join some congenial COM
panions who were in FOR n lark. Cur
tiss got full andwas veryimportant,
because he had money. rs most
fortunate ignoramorses do, and
defied an officer who commanded
him to he peaceful. He re-
| aisted the mirlon OF the law in a
bOisterous and proiane manner and the
latter proceeded to exercise his duty
and take him into custody. where
| upon the actor shot with fatal results.
| The fact that he was drunk will not
excuse him from e. just operation OF
the law. The crime was unpremcdi-
tateu anu CurtlSS VIII prODaOIv De
tried for manslaughter. Until he
struck Samuel of Posen." which made
| him n large fortune, Curtiss was a
strolling cheap player OF low propen-
| sites, entirely unknown in the best
| ranks OF the profession. He was illit-
crate and his ideal OF wit was but
fooncry and vulgarity. How impru.
dent then is it for any one of his grade
| OF mental calibre to drink or carry
| firearms? He is said to have been
| good-hearted and had many social
| friends. Certainly he had, because he
had money, and the toughest rogue
| in the land can boast oil social friends
with money in his purse! From a.
reports Curtiss acted beyond all rea.

Professional and other acquaintance

that the unprovoked murder OF M

Wintersmith's son was in the band and

near seminary for young ladies, all
sympathizers with the Confederacy. Out
came the young ladies when they saw
the gray coats. They brought out food,
drink and armfuls Of flowers. They
hung flowers around the necks of the
hunted men, and sang in musical
chorus. "Oh, you darling Confederates."
A struggling Confederate. fat, greasy
