The manner in which Mr.. Russells

worthy OF all commentator. He was
called before the convention and made a

The session of the convention of the
Secord Congressional District, which
was held last week, resulted in the nom
ination of Hon. Ben E. Russell of Balm
bridge. Mr.. Russell entered the race
late-after several counties had acted
and his contest was against one of the
most popular men in the district His
victory, therefore, was signal one. He
is true and tried Democrat, a hard
worker for his party, an upright, hon

and clear head Although still COM

of the late war, having volunteered in

of sixteen, and fought from the begin

The Thrilling Ride OF u Helpless Younsste
Attached to a Traction Cable.

The Thrilling Ride OF Helpless Younester
Attached to Traction Cable.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
cool level-headed man IN an emergency
saved the life of five-year-old child yesterday
on Hayes street.
1t is a common practice with children living
on the cable routes to drop string with a cork
attached in the SLOT and as the cable catches il
and drags it along to follow it up for a block or
two, or until they grow tired.
George Raiscovich. eight wears old. whose
father keeps a furniture store at s07 Hayes
street, persuaded his little brother spiro that
they could ride without paying. Georgie pro-
cured three-eights, five-strand clothesliae
from the back yard OF tbs store and carefully
fastened it around his little brothers waist.
The rope was strong enough TO settle dozen
California stage robbers. There was six feet
Of the rope left when George concluded to
give his little brother free ride, and with
some trouble he dropped the loose END of the
clothesline into the slot.
The rope was promptly taken up by the big
inch-and-a-half cable and little Spiro started
down the street to the astonishment Of his big
eight-year-oid brother. The connection was
made directly in front of st. lgnatius' Church.
From that point on the child was dragged with
the rope around his waist past Franklin street
u
and as he came sailing across the avenue William
Z. Murphy, who keeps a book store at l05
Hayes street. saw the phenomenon. He at first
surmised that the thing was a dummy. but a
glance demonstrated that il was not. 1t was
only live youngster skating with the cable and
no one to stop it,
Oddly enough, all OF the laws Of motion were
upset with that youngster. With n rope around
his waist the engine house engineer, not know
ing anything about foolish child being tied to
the cable, it was only natural that when the line
was drawn taut in the middle that the child
would have 10 go TO the morgue, whether the
line dragged his head or his legs
Providence and Mr.. Murphy saved the young
ster. Mr.. Murphy saw the baby's predica-
ment and ran to the rescue. The boy and the
cable were badly mixed when Murphy saw
them, and he followed the child from Polk 10
the junction at Larkin street with q view TO re-
lease il from the cable.
There only one way in which 10 do Il,
and Mr.. Murphy severed the connection be-
tween the boy and the cable at the junction Of
Hayes street.
M. Murphy bears some evidence Of q con-
fict with the cable. He had been Juggling with
the lads string with an ordinary penknife,
severing one strand after another and finally
severed the connection at Larkin street.
The child did not suffer much damage from
his unhappy trip. His left ear from contact
with the uneven basalt block on HAYES street
was partially torn AMY, and in contact with one
stone a cash of four inches was made on his
scalp Otherwise he was not injured.

CLEVELAND AND THE CARoL1NAs.

Complications That May Cost the Demo-
cratic Party the Votes Of Those States.
Special Dispstch to The Evening Star.
RALxIoH, N. c., June 25.-The news Of the
nomination Of ex-President Cleveland was re-
ceived here with curious mixture of sstisfsc-
ton and disappointment.
1t Is fact that II primary should have been
hold In this state Cleveland would probably
have received shrge majority Of the democratic
votes, but Ii IL also fact that there Ia an ele-
ment Of the party In both North end South
Carolina which is bitterly opposed to the ex-
President. This element is chiefly made up Of
membsrs Of the Farmers Alliance, and their
hostility 70 Cleveland has been so pronounced
that the alliance papers declared months ago
that they would not support Cleveland II nomi-
mated.
It was owing 10 this state of feeling that the
politicians Of these states opposed Cleveland,
although the masses" or ct least q majority
Of them. favored him.
The sixteen votes cast by North Carolina for
Stevenson 10 explained by the fact that Mr..
Stevenson IL North Carolinisn by birth, and
the vote was given - q compliment.
The death Of Col. L. L. Polk, the national
head Of the FarmerS Alliance, was great blow
to the peoples party movement In North Caro-
In this his native state, where II was generally
believed that be would be the nominee of his
party for the presidency.
1t IL announced that o full congressional

party, two candidates having already been
nominated, and strong electoral ticket viii be
named. II the Cleveland democrats vote

Of former republicans do so IL Il hard 10 see

crats cannot count ON q majority Of over II, 900
In this state in . straight fight with the rspub-
hcsns. A detection Of an average Of $50 votes
70 the county would defeat Nj. Cleveland in

None are more sensible Of the danger ahead
than the democratic leaders themselves and
from now on the bitterest political fight known
to the history 81 this state viii be waged by the
democrats, peoples partyites and the republi-
cans over tho national ticket.
The probability Of the third party putting up

test and activity on the part Of the dsmocrats.
