The Homestead labor leader in
common with all other good citizens
of the country, whether working men
or not, unite in condemning the das-
tardly act of the anarchist assassin,
or insane crank, which ever Berg.
mann may prove to be. The deed is
clearly not traceable to the striking
workmen and it would have been q
surprise if it had been, for they
know such IA thing would be suicidal
to their cause That Prick did not
fear bodily injury at the hands of
the strikers is evidenced by the fact
that he went where he pleased unat-
tended. Why man like Bergman,
who had nothing at all to gain by
the death of chairman Prick, should
try to compass his destruction and
prepare to take his own life if he sue
ceeded in his fiendish purpose, is ex-
plainable only on the theory that he
is an insane fanatic Of the Guiteau
stamp.
Public sentiment is divided. it's
true, in regard to Tricks treatment
of the employees under him, hut is
mostly against the chairman. But
public sentiment is a unit on the
subject of the personal attack upon
him, every one unhesitatingly con-
dennis it, and laboring men as en-
phatically as any other class of men.
This is the sentiment expressed by
every true friend of the work
ingman as well as by every other
good citizen under the government
1t was at first thought that the at
tempted killing of Mr.. Prick would
embitter the contest now going on
between employer and employees, but
there-is every reason to believe that
it will have the opposite effect, as the
sympathies of the workingmen will
be aroused for their former chief.

cIEvELAHD AHD STEVENSON
FORMALLY NOTIFIED
Eighteen thousand People
Present,
NOTHING LIKE III EVER SEEN In
THIS COUNTRY BEFORE.
Mrs. Cleveland the Most Popular We.
man.

Grover Cleveland received official
notification last Wednesday night
that he had been nominated by the
Democratic party for President OF
the United States. Adlai f. Steven
son received official information that
he had been nominated for Vice.
President. Mrs. Grover Cleveland
received official information that she
had been elected the most popular
woman in America.
All this took place in Madison
Square Garden in the presence OF
$4,000 men and women all Demo.
Gratis.
The occasion was most impressive,
the assemblage magnificent and the
scene itself of indescribable beauty.
The really grand simplicity of the
vast interior, the great arches max
ing possible a veritable armament of
electric lights, the far spreading and
high reaching tiers of seats, and,
most effective of all, the multitude of
human faces beaming with enthus-
iasm from every direction, combined
to form a spectacle such as has new
err been seen before in this country,
and will live as long as life itself in
the memories of those who beheld it.
If ever there fingered a doubt OF
the loyalty of New York Democrats
to the national ticket that doubt was
dispelled in the Madison Square Gar
den last night. They gathered there
in such numbers and with such en-
thusiasm that the Democrats of 9th
er States who were present will now
go back and tell their people that
their brethren of New York are united
and that the Empire State will be
found in the solid Democratic col
umn next November
Not only were there present those
men who, led by William Collins
Whitney, nominated Mr.. Cleveland,
but Tammany was there, too. The
old wigwam of Fourteenth street was
represented by its leaders and by its
rank and file. From Croker and
Sheehan and Grant and Martin, ac-
companied by their state ally
Chairman Murphy, down through
the districts represented by such
men as Dry Dollar Sullivan, Justice
Diver, John f. Carroll and Assem-
blyman Sulzer, the great political or.
ganization of Tammany was more
than earnest, it was demonstrative
in its manifestation of interest and
enthusiasm.
SO, too, were there in the mighty
gathering men Of every other class
of Democracy. Business men whom
strict party lines do not contine and
young men who this year will vote
for the first time for President had
come to give an indication Of what
the thinking and independent people
of this city mean TO do at the ballot
booths next election day. 1t was a
tribute, first to great political par
ty, second to sterling worth in a man,
and third TO beauty and grace in a
typical American woman such as was
never seen before and may never be
seen again.-N. Y. World

ANARCHIST ASSASSIN
Seeks to End the Life of Henry
{. Prick
AND ALMOST SUCCEEDS In ACCOM-
PLISHiNG HIS PURPOSE.


PITTsBuRG, July pa desperate
and almost successful attempt was
made this afternoon to assassinats
Henry Clay Frick, chairman of the
Carnegie Steel Company Limited
His assailant, Alexander Berkman
Russian Jew, who came here from
New York with evident intention Of
removing the man who has been the
principal on the employers side OF
the Homestead struggle. A few min.

Jewish caste of countenance, medium
height and fairly we'll dressed, push.
ed into Tricks private Office before
the office boy could stop him. Mr.
Leishman, Tricks business partner
was holding private conference with
Mr. Frick, no one else being in the
room when the stranger entered. Mr.
Frick was examining bundle of pa.
pers. The man sprang within about
five feet of Mr.. Frick and quickly
drawing revolver pulled the trigger
The first cartridge did not explode
The second shot entered the back OF
Mr. Tricks neck. Mr.. Prick made
an exclamation, jumped to the circu
lar window on Fifth avenue and tried
in vain to open it. The assailant
passed in front of the desk and ap
preaching close to Mr.. Frick fired
again. The ball entered the muscle
on the left side of the neck. At this
instant Leishman threw himself on
the would-be assassin and tried to
wrest the revolver from his hands
Leishman clutched the barrel and
turned the muzzle upward as the car.
fridge exploded, the ball entering the
clustering near the glass partition
The desperate man drew a dagger
and attempted to stab Leishman who
was holding him by the shoulder and
body. Frick, although staggered by
the shock of two wounds and bleed
ing profusely, jumped between the
men and seized the mad mans arm.
The latter freed himself from Leish
mans grasp and plunged the dag
ger into Tricks right side, just above
the hip, making an ugly wound foul
inches long. He made another lunge
for the heart but the point struck o
rib and glanced down without inflict
ing much of an injury Twice agair
was the knife thrust at Mr.. Frick
but he was merely scratched by these
last attempts to kill him.
The struggle was in full view Of
those on the street. BY this time
the office boys and Deputy Sheriff
May, who had just entered the Office
as the first shot was fired, threw
themselves on the assassin. Sheriff
May had drawn his revolver and was
about to shoot the fellow in the back
when Mr.. Frick cried out: Don,
kill him. We have got him all right
leave him to the law The mar
broke away and tried to escape, bui
was secured and taken to the Cen.

The prompt action of Mr. Fricb

Mr.. Tricks wounds were dressed
Mr.. Prick was perfectly calm through

How About Even Iowa?

The Republican party never en-
tered campaign in that state with
such dubious prospects as they have
this time. The republican papers
with their old time effrontery of
claiming everything say "that Iowa
always goes republican in Presiden-
tial years. and the reason that the
state went democratic last year the
republicans didn't "come out" on
election day. 1t is more than prob
able they will "come out" this year
and many of them are so sick of
high tariff and republican rule that
they will vote the democratic ticket
In discussing the situation in that
state the st. Louis Republic says:
The truth in this case is, as we'll
informed people hardly need be told,
that the vote of last year was the
largest ever cast in the history of
the State. 1t reached a total of
20,152, sixty thousand votes in
excess of the total vote cast at the
gubernatorial election in 1889, and
more than fifteen thousand in excess
of the total vote cast at the Presi-
Dental election of 1888.
The Democrats have once carried
the State on the fullest vote it has
ever polled. There has never been
a doubt in the minds of Governor
Boies' supporters that he,could have
held practically this entire vote to
himself. Without his candidacy,
however, the Republicans will have
desperate struggle to retain their
hold upon the State.
In the election of last year the
Prohibition party polled less than a
thousand votes for its candidate.
ucIc Cdu We uO uOuDJ tildb LDe
abandonment of prohibition by the
Republicans in their State platform
of this year will increase this figure
to $4,000 or 10000 at the least. The
Presidential candidacy of General
Weaver will hurt the Iowa Republi-
cans in the ratio of two to one COM
pared with its effect upon the Dem
ocrats. The only detection from the
Democratic strength of last year at
all to be feared is that of Republican
anti Prohibitionists who left their
party because it put prohibition in
its platform, and who will return to
it with that plank taken out.
The question of the Iowa campaign
then is: Will these outnumber the
seeding Prohibitionists largely
enough to balance Republican losses
from Weaver's candidacy? That
problem leaves the State in doubt.

Tbs Republican campaign for the

Harrison forced himself upon his
party at Minneapolis by the use of

He is the representative of all
that is most offensive and most I'M

the apologist of the force bill; the
advocate of tariff for monopolists;
the enemy of every broad and liber-

tion of the country. He is essen

to this extent, the democratic party
now is, and always has been for pro-
lection.
The democratic party now holds and
always has held that the General Gov
eminent has no constitutional right or
power to enact a tariff for any other
purpose than for revenue only but as
to the effect or incidents Of a tariff
laid for such purpose only that is a
question no power can help, otherwise
than that the manufacturers might
refuse to avail themselves of it if their
souls were less sordid.
When the American people consent
to be taxed on the necessaries of life
the enormous sum of about five hum
dred millions of dollars it is quite
enough, and that they now refuse to
be taxed to greater amount than is
necessary to defray the expenses of the
Government economically administer
ed is not to be wondered at, and that
they cannot be scared out of their
wits and best interests by the silly
and false cry of free trade will not sur
prise any one.
But again a high protective tariff
laid on goods of foreign product begets
retaliation on the part of other nations
thus legislated against, and they re
fuse to buy of us, or lay as high du-
ties on our exports to them, and thus
build a s.Chinese wall" as it were,
around us and greatly diminish the
scope and extent of our markets, and
compel us to sell at home largely or
not at all, and thereby compels the
manufacturer to reduce wages, or
shut out employees and shut down
their mills, etc, until they can make
sale of their products at home. And
in this way the laborer is thrown out
of employment and his family made
to suffer.
And again, by reason of these great
bounties and protection layished upon
American manufacturers capital in
vested in them is made more proflta-
BILE than elsewhere, and capital, like
capitalists, will go where it can
earn more: and thus too much capital
is infested in them, and more than
sufficient to supply the wants or needs
of consumption, and thus over pro-
duction is speedily produced to lie
idly on the hands of the manufacture
ers, compelling them to shut down,
reduce wages, or run on half time, and
thus again, inficting great hardship
to the laborers, by throwing them out
of employment for large part of the
year with consequent suffering to
them and their families.
Now if so much protection was not
Bi'eh oHtih icoo odpiudi "oulu We cHi-
ployed in that direction, and over-pro-
duction would rarely come, and yet
the mills could run all the year at re-
munerating profits to all, and bloody
murders and strikes be prevented, and
at the same time equal justice would
be extended to all men and all classes
of bushes. Our ssinfant iudus-
tries of the past have become our
lordly masters needing nothing but a
few more Pinkerton soldiers, or others
of like pretentions to over ride and
trample upon the liberties of the peo-
nile

The Ons1oek ~ this stage efthe
PreslAensIal Campaign.
Not since the days Of Fremont has
the republican party entered upon a
campaign with such gloomy pros
poets before 1t. To begin with, the
party is handicapped by its nomi-
nees. Harrison's denomination was
forced on the party by the occupant
of the White House himself with the
aid of host of federal appointees
He was not and is not popular with
the masses of his party, who receiv-
ed the news Of his denomination with
more apathy than was ever before
shown on like occasion.
Reid's candidacy was met with a
vigorous protest from organized la
Dor before it was week old, which
protest will not be silenced by ante
election promises.
Then came the reduction Of wages
at the Carnegie steel works, showing
most wildly the effects Of high tariff
as advocated by the republican par
ty and as enacted into law by the
Mckinley bill. No amount of hedg-
ing or lodging on the part Of repub-
lican orators and party organs can
make the workingman believe any
thing else than that the party deliber-
ately deceived him for his vote, conse-
Guently the prospect of holding his
vote is not very encouraging. The
Homestead trouble will have to be
settled in very satisfactory way to
both laborer and capitalist before the
republican candidate can make much
Roadway in the contest for votes and
they know it too.
No man of national reputation
was, under such circumstances, will
ling to undertake the management
of the campaign and the nominee
had to again have recourse to his
federal office holders to find chair
man for his national committee.
What is the outlook from the 9th
er mountain top? What are democ-
racy's chances for triumph this time?
The only answer can be, good in
proportion as the enemy's chances
are bad. With a man for President
whose nomination was imperatively
demanded by the people, and one of
the most popular officials who ever
held office in this country on the
ticket with him, the prospect could
not be anything but fiattering.
The party being thoroughly united
in its opposition to war tariffs and
force bills the signs of the times at
present indicate that the democratic
party will in November have the
most sweeping political victory ever
gained by any party at any time
