that "Parnell was curse to the coun-

and his flesh purifying. Every man
living a loose life, every drunkard,
every man who beats his wife was a

Mr.. Snrinecr,s Views

CHICAGO, June 3O.-Congrcssnan
Springer in an interview to-day said
SIN many of the States of the South
and West the new party will have so
strong a following that the electoral
ticket may belost to both the republicans
and democrats. In some of the States
where the democrats are ina hopeless
minority they will put the peoples
party electors on the regular demo-
cratic ticket in hopes that they may
thereby prevent the republican clcc-
tors from getting q majority of the
votes cast. 1t requires majority of
votes of the electoral college to make
candidate President, and if the peo-
pies party can keep both the republi-
cans and democrats from having ma
jority the election will be thrown into
the House of Representatives. As the
present House is democratic, Grover
Cleveland, of course, would be the man
elected. In the Senate where the Vice
President is elected each Senator casts
one vote. The result of the election
in case the peoples party should get 4
balance of power, would be therefore:
President, Grover Cleveland; Vice
President, Whitelaw Reid.

block, the application being made from
slavery to drink. The speech caused
indignation on the part of a number Of

to-day w. w. Gibbs, of Virginia, was
on his feet and offered the following
resolution: Whereas, the prohibition
party is not sectional party, but IA.
tional party, and whereas, the issues of
the late civil war are settled, and set
tied forever; therefore
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
convention that speakers who are ac-
corded the honor of addressing the
convention be requested to refrain from
unnecessary references or illustrations
that could be considered reelection on
participants in the late struggle. After
much confusion the resolution was
adopted.

r. & d. r. r. AFFAIRs.-A dispatch
from New York says: "The question
before the Richmond Terminal Sc
culrity-holders is as to what will be-
come of them if the roads iii the sys-
TEN should become independent prop
critics. The fives and skies have lien
on Junior securities as rule. All they
can do is to put them up at auction and
divide the proceeds. Ifthis is done, it
is a question whether there will be
much to divide. As to the preferred
stock, it has no lieu on the collateral
back oft, and cannot stand in the way
of the execution of mortgages on the
property represented by this stock. As
to the common stock, it is generally
conceded that it has no show at all, ex-
cept in reorganization"
The Wall Street Journal says: 1--WE
understand that the Richmond and
Danville receivership came to Drexel,
Morgan & Co. like thunder clap in q
clear sky. The day after they heard it
they conferred with Mr.. Clyde in order
to find out its meaning. They wanted
to know from him whether he would
be prepared to tprn over the receivers
to them. and whether lie was willing
to deposit his securities without know
ing what the plan of reorganization
would be; in other words, put himself
on level with other security holders.
and with no preferred claim in any re-
organization. These questions were
asked Mr. Clyde Ten or twelve days
ago. Drexel, Morgan & Co, have been
waiting for an answer ever since"

message referred to- The applause he
received in the North by reason of his
jingoism toward Chill evidently
prompted him to adopt the same meth
cd toward Canada, and by the same
