withstanding the dreary. rainy weather the

there has been no reproduction OF the

that the members of the family wish TO
move the patient 10 Washington she will be
removed. because in two or three days she

Boyd, assistant general passenger agent or

a record as a railroad man during the
Presidents tour last year through the South

dent and Mrs. Harrison, and it is believed
that Mrs. Harrison will lose much OF the
nervousness which railroad journey ~

LET THE SOUTH ALONE.

The Democrats desire free, honest
and fair elections everywhere 1t de-
sires them, not merely because they
would enure to its benefit, but upon the
unsehsh end high ground that they are
essential to the preservation of our free
institutions. There has been no such
condition of affairs ut the South as TO
Justify the enactment of the davenport
measure 1t is true that the colOred peO-
pie in large numbers are there voting the
Democratic ticket. but this affords no
sufficient reason for taking away from
them. or from us, the control of their
or our elections.
The colOred people were not freed from
slavery to become slaves of the Republi-
can party. The South is loyal, honest and
capable, and if permitted, as it should be,
il will work out its social and other prob
lens in its own way, without injury TO
the colored race, injustice TO the North, or
to the Republican party, or danger to the
elective franchise.
In any event, the majority of American
people will never approve Il measure
which threatens their liberties, legaliZes
unfairness, and absolutely guarantees par
tisan victories to the INSCRIPTIONS party
that dares enact It,
After q brief discussion of statutes,
Senator Hill concluded as follows: L
believe that a large majority of the peo-
pie If this country are convinced of the
rightfulness of Democratic principles and
want them to prevail. But the election
will not win itself. and there must be
complete organization. l repeat the in
junction / uttered before the Democratic
State Convention at Albany in February
last. 1T is our duty to organize, or

banner, public Office is public trust

BERGMAN'S SHORT TRIAL
MS SENTENCE TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
The Trial Begun and Ended Yesterday-The
Prisoner INDUCES in n Lengthy
Anarcbistic Harangue.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 19.-The trial Of
Alexander Bergman, the Anarchist who
attempted to kill II. c. Frick July Odd,
was begun and ended before Judge Nc
Chung in the criminal court to-day. Berg
man maintained the same Indifferent de-
meanor that has characterized his con-
duct since his arrest He had no attor-
ney nor witnesses for his defense. The
prosecution was conducted by District
Attorney Burleigh, who in his opening
speech presented the seven indictments,
charging Bergman with Offenses ranging
from felonious assault and battery down
t. carrying concealed weapons.
II. G. Frick. chairman of the Carnegie
Steel Company and the victim of Berg
mans assault. was the first witness, and
gave Il detailed account of the affair.
Dr. Litchfeld gave the medical testi-
nOny relating 10 the wounds. Mr.. Leish-
man. vice-chairman Of the Carnegie Com
pany. who was in Mr.. Trick's private
office at the time. did not see Bergman
or know of his presence until he heard
the revolver shot. He grappled with
Bergman Bergman tried to shoot him,
but the weapon missed fire. Mr.. Frlc6
came to Mr.. Leishman's assistance, and
Together they grappled with Bergman,
who then drew the knife and stabbed
Mr. Frick several times.
Bergmon said THAT statement is un-
true. and asked Mr. Leishman, Are you
positive | tried to shoot yOuF
'l am positive my statements are cor
rect, was Mr.. Leishman' ) answer. Other
Witnesses described the details OF the as
saut.
The prosecution rested, and Bergman
asked for an Interpreter, which was
granted. He then said:

and began To read irrelevant matter from
large roll of paper. The statement was
an Anarchistic and inllammatOry address,
written i'm German. Bergman continued
his harangue for two hours, when the
court shut him off. The District Attorney
did not make an address, saying argu-
nlent was unnecessary. Judge McClung
made "A brief charge and the jury returned
verdict of guilty on all seven ndict-
ments without leaving their box.
Judge McClung pronounced sentence at
once, aggregatng twenty-one years TO
the penitentiary and one year to the
work house. just before sentence was
passed Bergman said he had not been
given Justice, nor had he expected It.

TIE FORCE BILL.

There is another issue in this campaign
Of equal if not greater Importance than
the tGriH, which affects the rights and
liberties Of every citizen. The Republican
party seems to be irrevOcably committed
TO the passage Of Federal elections bill,
generally known as the Force bill, and al
though it must be evident to the most
patriotic and thoughtful members of that
organization that it Is a piece of political
fO0lishress, cnly equalleC by its menda-
city, there has appeared for them no es-
cape from its advocacy. 1t is an i'm
parchment of the good sense of the Re
publican leaders that they should press
the con sideration of 50 offensive and un-
wise a measure at this or any other time,
especially in view of the fact now ap-
parent to every one, that it absolutely
prevents their party receiving electoral
votes i'm a third Of the States OF the
Union. and although as partisahs we may
rejoice at their folly yet as citizens we de-
plorc tlcir threatened attack upon the
free institutions OF our country never be-
fore so imperillod.
The bill has been well described as a
menace to liberty liberty OF the
North as well as the South, the liberty OF
the black as we'll as the white, the hb-
erty Of every citizen, no matter 20 what
parry uf may ANIH'h ~ bhi'A-'
Whence comes this Objectionable scheme
for Federal interference in our elections,
aud who are It's originatOrs and sponsors!
Until recently the author of the measure
was supposed to be the eminently respec-
table Henry Cabot Lodge. Of Massachu-
setts. who introduced the bill.
But not long ago a gentleman not un-
known to fame, Mr.. John !. Davenport.
of New York city. the chief Federal
supervisor of elections and also United
States commissioner, a diminutive. po-
lite and amiable person-"as mild a
hammered man as ever scuttled ship or
cut a thrOat" came TO Washington and
appeared before the Committee on lmmi-
grafton in behalf of another project, dear
10 his heart, to promote ''the purity Of
elections" and Z had the honor OF e1-
amining him. and he stated in answer
to my question, TO the great surprise of
the public that he was the bold and sole
author Of the notorious Force bill. The
borrowed plumage was immediately
stripped from the proud person of Mr..
Henry Cabot Lodge, and the bill has
since been properly styled 'Thc Daven-
port Force bill"

HAS NOT INCREASED WAGES.

There is no satisfactory evidence that
il has increased our prosperity in any de-
gree, or advanced the wages of single
workiRgman. Skllful etatisticians, ca
pable Of juggling with figures, may as
sumo to have more information than we
possess, and may figure out "A different
result, but / can safely assert that 1t Is
the general understanding of the people
that the Mckinley bill has not increased
wages either in New York or elsewhere.
! know this much, that the Democratic
party will be entirely content TO permit
every workingman whose wages have
been increased since the passage of the
Mckinley bill TO vote the Republican
ticket if our opponents will consent that
all whose wages have not been increased
shall vote the Democratic ticket, and
upon that basis we will carry the cOun-
try by million majority. We should
not, however. permit our position to be
misunderstood. We are not seeking
power upon the calamity" issue. but
with all good citizens we rejoice in the
prosperity of the country and trust that
it may continue, but we insist that the
country has been prosperous not be-
cause of the Mckinley bill, but in spite
of II.

that view il may have been unnecessary,
or not desirable, to have challenged its
