was stirred from center to circumfer-

and recapture of seven desperate white
men from the state penitentiary. One
of the men fooled the turnkey into
opening the big iron door leading from
the Offices of the prison to the yard. The
moment the door was inches aiar
the crowd jerked it open and over
powered the doorlxeeper with knives
and hatchets from the carpenter
shop, entered the armory, selec-
ted guns and pistols, went to
the clerks Office, bulldozed him,
ripped off their striped clothes
and got into his and those of other
officials, and then dashed down the
principal street, making for the river
swamp. The alarm bell at the prison
was sounded and ten minutes later 100
men and boys who were witness
ing baseball game at the fair grounds
joined in the pursuit. The convicts
were tired from their run, but
were armed with Winchesters and
pistols, and they fired at
the pursuers as they advanced
The citizens were joined by the city
police and for half an hour a red hot
fusillade was kept up, at least 800 shots
being exchanged. But the convicts
were nervous and tired and their aim
untrue and when the battle was over
one was dead, two desperately wounded
and four slightly, and they were all
back in the walls within two hours
after their escape.

REGARD FOR RIGHT.

Principle. Not Patronage, AniDlates True
Republicans.
Every republican has the right of free
Judgment. No president in either party
has succeeded in satisfying every mem
Der of his party, and no president has
escaped the criticism of friends whose
every wish he has found it impossible to
crafty.
President Harrison has been no ex-
ception to the rule which does not adj
NIT of exceptions. We believe he viii
be nominated on the first ballot at Min
neapolis If not by reclamation. but we
have no quarrel with those who believe
otherwise. Gen. Malone. of Virgins;
Senator Quay. of Pennsylvania, and
ex-senator Platt. of this state. may all
hold to different opinions They have
the right of free Judgment, and so have
we. But their opposition to President
Harrison's nomination has for its basis,
as every one knows, their dissatisfac-
ton with the distribution of the pat
ronage.
The republican party, speaking. now
of the great mass of its voters, is far
less concerned in the question as to
how the patronage shall be distributed,
or who shall be favored in its distribu-
ton. than il p in the question whether
o. rot republican prin~iple shall pre-
VEL: whether the republican policy of
protection and reciprocity, Of honest
m>ssey, a free vote and a fair count, of
good wages To American workingmen,
and the defense of American manufac-
turing interests shall be upheld or shall
go down with the defeat of the repub-
lican party.
Principle, not patronage, is the ami
mating purpose of the republican heart,
and anyone among the leaders of the
party who makes patronage, not prin-
ciples. his guiding motive must in
evltably nst with opposition and
eventually with overthrow. because the
basis of his republicanism viii be con
strued to be selfish. unpatriotic, narrow
and unprincipled.
If President Harrisons nomination
should come, as it obviously will come,
in spite of the opposition of few po-
litical bosses, it viii reveal the strength
of the republican voters and the weak
ness of the bosses themselves He can

OPINION OF THE PRESS.

The democratic majorities in the

be larger than ever this year, but the
election win be decided by states in

that the tidal wave majority which the

WASHINGTON, May 3O.-Gen. p. d.
Mussey died of dropsy at his residence
in this city Sunday afternoon. The de-
ceased was native of New Hampshire,
where he was born May 80, 1888 Gen.
Mussey rendered active service during
the war and received a medal for
special bravery. He was probably
the first officer of the regular army who
offered his services in connection
with colored troops. In 1868 he was de-
tailed to duty in organizing such troops
and participated in recruiting ten reg
iments. Afterward he served for a
time as private secretary to President
Johnson and during this time he was
made colonel by brevet in the regular
army and brigadier general by brevet
of the volunteers. In 1867 the general
was admitted to the bar here.

DEMOCRATIC INHARMoNY.
The Party Is Poorly Equipped In Men
and Measures.

The Party Is Poorly Equipped In Men
and Measures
Mr.. Cleveland's nomination would
mean direct, earnest and courageous
opposition to what he has spoken
of as 1.-The protective tariff, the
vicious, inequitable and unconstitution-
al source of revenue" 1t would make
all issues secondary to that of protec-
tion or free trade.
The nomination of Hill would mean
nothing except fixed purpose to intro
duce the methods of Tammany to the
white house and to all the national de-
partments. His candidature would give
slight tests as to the opinion of the
country on tariff or silver. If Mr.. Hill
has any opinion on either of these sub
jects he has kept il secret.
In like manner the nomination Of
Senator German would signify nothing
more than purpose to distribute post
offices and things among the workers"
Mr.. German has been in the senate for
several years, but he is not known as a
free trader, as a protectionist, a free
silver man or an honest coinage man.
He has voted against all republican
careful not to originate any democratic
policy, or even 20 indorse warmly any
democratic policy of another's original
ing. He has acted as an obstructionist
to republican policy rather than as
representative of democratic policy. In
Randall's time he was considered to be
somewhat of Randall democrat.
Outside of Cleveland. Hill and Cor
man there is no democrat with respect
able pretensions to leadership. In Illi-
nois there is feeble pretense of devo-
ton to Palmer, but Cleveland is the
choice of the Illinois democracy. In
Indiana handful of place seekers have
made themselves and their state ridic-
ulous by pratlng about the claims of
Isaac P. Gray, but the Indiana demo-
Gratis are for Cleveland by an over
whelming majority. And so as to Boies,
Carlisle and other favorite sons, they
have their little crowds of adherents.
But if any one of them be nominated it
will be because of a certainty that the
nomination of Cleveland, Hill or Cor
man will be followed by guerrilla war
upon him by the adherents of one or
both of the other two. 1t begins to look
as if the democratic party will go into
the campaign with a weak platform and
a weaker candidate.
Cleveland is the only democrat who
could stand consistently upon a boldly
aggressive free-trade platform. And il
the democratic platform is not aggres-
sively free trade it may as well not be
constructed. For the democrats to re-
csde from the position of 1890 is to take
steps that soon will quicken into a
rushing ''skedaddle'' of the old-fash-
toned sort.
Briefly, by nominating Cleveland the
democrats will achieve defeat after
more or less vigorous fight B. noIni-
mating anyone else they will achieve
defeat without the preliminary of
fight.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

INCREASING EXPENSES.
The Democratic Congress Demanding
More Money.

More Money.
Although the present democratic
house began the session with a greater
number of clerks than any previous
one, it IS already demanding more and
increasing the AZ proprig ton for that
purpose. Discussing the need of an adj
ditional 81. 200 clerk, Holman said:
That simply means an additional
clerk for this house at 81, 200 salary
We all know that a superabundant
number of clerks are employed in the
house and always have been. Besides,
there will not be as much work to do
at this session as there was in the cor
responding session of the last congress,
and even 4 republican house did not
find it necessary then to create this ad-
ditional office. Having already in
creased the number of employees of the
house beyond what was ever known in
its history, it is proposed now to add
another clerk to the list. Now, we
have a body of clerks far beyond the
necessities of the service, in my judg-
ment ! ask the house to vote down the
measure as an improvident and unnec-
essay one. 1t is not demanded by the
needs of the public service, and against
it we are absolutely pledged by our con-
stituents."
Nevertheless, the bill went through.
