Republicans of the country have
every reason TO feel satisfi ed and en-
coursged over the progress made thus
far IN the campaign. The democrats,
on the other hand, can point to nothing
but blunders, failures and disappoint
ments. They started out at Chicago
with q free-trade plank IN their plat
form and . Recommendation amount
ing to return TO "wild-cat" banks;
they nominated q greenbacker for
vice president; in congress. they went
on record as antagonists Of the worlds
fair, and exceeded in expenditures of
the governments money the "billion
dollar congress" which they were so
loud IN exclaiming against two months
ago; they have utterly failed to modify
the tariff according to the liberal prom
ises they made in 1890 when, by false
prstenses. they captured majority IN
the house of representatives; and, in
their desperate efforts to make political
capital out OF labor troubles, they
made expensive and elaborate investi-
cations the results OF which they are
afraid to report. They have been re-
puked in Michigan and New York for
fsshering unconstitutional spportion-
meuts. In the south they are fignting
the peoples party. The country con-
tinues to prosper, the cost OF living to
decrease, the wages of working
men IN protected industries to
increase and new industries 10
spring up under the benehceut work
iuxs Of the Mckinley tariff, and the
hysteric ''calsnAity bowler" i out of a
100. And worst Of all, for wiling
democracy. Grover Cleveland and
David Bennett Hill still fail TO come
together.

TO RESCUE TALT HALL.
Followers of the Outlaw Threaten an
Attack on the Wise County Jail.


Big STONE GAP, Va, Aug. lin
tense excitement prevails here over
news from Wise Court House of an at
tempt to rescue Talt Hall, the notori-
Gus outlaw and murderer, under SEN
tence of death. Judge H. A. Skeen,
of the county court, has received the
following telegram from the seat of
the trouble, signed by |. S. Ross, one of
the lawyers who prosecuted Hall: I
Have certain information that an
overwhelming attack will be made on
the Jail. They will dynamite the town
and take Hall at all hazards. Attack
expected tonight and will surely be
made this week. No mistake.
Every able-bodied man IN this conf
munity is being summoned to 60 to
Wise court house tonight, and = special
tr ain has been rendered by the Louis
vile Il Nashville railroad authorities to
carry the guards to Norton, whence
they will march five miles across coun-
try to REINFORCE the guard now on
duty at the Jail. They will not arrive

and 1t is feared that they may be too
late to render assistance. The re-
endorsements from here are under the
command OF j. +. Bullitt, Jr., the
leader Of the Wise county bar, and
they will be accompanied by the judge

change the purpose Of the voters
which IS TO exact principles. The
balances OF the ticket is not
made of superior material. The
candidate for secretary of state Is
not representative man but is rather
the decoy set to attract the support of
. large and respected class of foreign
born citizens. The candidates for
lieutenant governor ana auditor gener-
nj are VIGOROUSLY of the stool pigeon

There is nothing in the remarkable
series of contradictions formulated as
platform by the democrats that will
commend itself 10 the intelligence of
anybody. Much of the verbiage is but
a repetition OF political saws which
have been banded III democratic state
and county conventions since Andrew
Jackson's time. Ii commends Wlnans
as faithful and honest in one of its
plat.tudious sections, but 1t thrusts a
knife into his vitals when nomination
IS made. The democrats don't want
faithful and honest" men for govern
ors. The Aap-doodle mouthings as to
the maintenance of peace are badly
edited extracts from the declaration OF
independence, with which every boy
is familiar. II bids for the support
of the free silver wing and mentions
gold to mollIfy the other wing. 1t
proposes a board of arbitration for
labor and attempts 10 make an issue
upon which there is now nor has there
ever been any marked division of senti-
ment. After having ingloriously failed
TO modify or change existing laws as to
PRISON contract labor, though having
completes and stolen power to do so,
the party inserts a resolution into its
platform saying it must be abolish ed
but neglecting to tell how. Its declara-
ton on the tariff is no less democratic
than English manufacturers could de-
mand. 1t is for free trade. The plat
form is too long to be read second
time and too weak to stand up for an
hour under critical analysis. 1t is
superficial, name and expressionless.

DEED OF A JEALOUS MAN.
He Shoots Two Persons, Mistaking One
for His Wife.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 17.-Insanely
jealous of his wife, Edward Bailey, SO
years of age, of this city, late last night
laid two persons low with his revolver
and then attempted to end his own life.
The persons shot were Joseph Gunther,
a boarder, and Miss Mary Carnley. a
ledger in the Bailey home, whom Bar
ley mistook for his wife. For three
months Bailey and bis wife have been
separated, and the husband was re-
Gently released from prison, where he
had been sent owing to his failure to
furnish $500 bail to keep the peace and
refrain frem annoying his wife. Bailey
secured revolver last evening, and
when his wife left the house to pay q
visit he followed her. She saw her
husband waiting for her, and entered
the house of her friends and asked for
protection.
Shortly before midnight, when Mrs.
Bailey reached home, she found Mary
Carney on the steps badly frightened.
The woman said that she heard some
one in the house. Both women waited
until Gunther, the boarder, came
home. and then proceeded to investi-
gate. The noises were heard coming
from the cellar. Gunther descended,
and when he arrived at the foot of the
stairs Bailey stepped from a closet and
opened fire. Miss Carney then rushed
down stairs. In the darkness Bailey
mistook her for his wife and again
fired. Mrs. Bailey ran screaming from
the house and informed the police.
When the officer arrived he found
that Bailey, on discovering his fearful
mistake, had turned the revolver to
his head and fired, and lay uncan-
scious in pool of his own blood. The
wounded persons were removed to q

nIcHieAS.s BouRKE COCHRAN.

There was one democrat In yester-
days convention who was inspired by
the old-time spirit of democratic indie
pendence and PRIDE. That man was
Maurice M. Houseman of this city. In
q speech fairly ablaze with burning eio-
quence he presented reasons why a
democrat should be nominated for at
.orney general; and against the settled
determination of his weak-kneed and
putty faced colleagues TO nominate
that arriant political nincompoop Ellis,
he launched the fire of his heavy broad
sides of satire with unhesitatlng fear
lessness and irresistible force. His
manly and open dennnciation OF
duplicity and deceit was received with
every manifestation OF approval, but
IN spite of MS earnest protest against
the qualification of party principles he
vas borne down 10 defeat. His speech
was not only one of the bravest, but 1t
was SO apt and true IN every sentence
tina. 1t challenged the admiration OF
everybody in the hall. Mr.. Houseman
is the Bourke Cochran of Michigan.
