light of such preparation, democrats will
not be driven into caucuses or conven-
tions, especially into those designed as
Snaps" The February convention
snned by design to take advantage oil
this situation and by exclusive and high
handed methods of preparation and
manipulation sought to force upon dem
ocrats throughout the union the ambi-
tious desires of a few as the final, con-
elusive opinion of all their brethren in
New York state.
THE delegates of that convention go
to urge what the politicians wanted in
February; the delegates of this conven-
tion to state what the people i'll New
York want now. They will shout for
sham regularity and the forms, shadows,
and covering of things. We will plead
that justice, equity and the substance OF
democracy be recognized as having
the better title. They will suggest that
danger of defeat in November will darken
the pathway which they do not dictate.
We will insist that the assurance of GER
tain victory will brighten the road
whercon democrats will march after that
convention, behind its banner. upon
which shall be written in letters Of living
light sound democratic principles, and
the name of candidate of whom those
principles shall be bone of his bone and
flesh of his flesh, whoever he may be-"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Kernan's re-
marks the roll of delegates was called,
and at 1:25 the convention took recess
until $50 p. m.

BLAINE IS MASTER.
Col Ingersoll Thinks HAc DOesH't
Want Harrison RenOnainated,

CHICAGO, May 30.-Judge Gresham is
Col. X. G. Ingersoll's choice for the pres,
idency. But he thinks almost any rcpub-
lican preferable to Harrison. Col. lnger-
soil said today:
81 suppose Mr.. Blaine can be nomina-
ted il he wants to be. think he has
more friends in the party probably than
any man. Judging him Gas an ordi-
narily man, suppose we will be justified
in saving that he does not really want
the nomination himself.
'But do think that he does not want
Mr.. Harrison to have it. My opinion is
that Blaine is master of the situation
that he can have Harrison nominated il
he wants to; that he can defeat him if ht
wants--and think he wants to. / dc
not believe Mr.. Harrison can be elected
There is good deal of opposition to hin
in Colorado, in Montana, in Washington
and in Nevada, and we cannot afford tc

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Secretary
Foster has expressed himself as follows
regarding the political situation:
"The present move favoring Blaine for
the republican nomination for president
had its inception mainly with the people
whom the president has disappointed.
do not undcrratc Blaine's popularity
with the masses.
81 do not believe that Mr.. Blaine has
given encouragement to this proposed
use of his name. To nominate Mr.. Blaine
now is to run the risk of his declination,
which, if it comes, utterly ruins all hope
of party success. 1t seems to me that an
acceptance by him after the struggle
that will have to be made to obtain the
nomination will surely make him weak
candidate.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGs.


1.-Two hundred and sixty miles of
railroad we're built in Pennsylvania
during the year 1891.
THE Brotherhood of Locomotive
Trainmen paid out $4,000 as death
claims during the month of December.
The number Of men killed and
wounded on the railroads in this coun-
try in 1891 was more than twice the
loss of the Union Army at Gettysburg,
there having been killed over G,0OO,
while the number of the manned and
crippled was over 10000. When it is
reflected that a very great per cent. of
the deaths and injuries were caused to
railroaders while coupling cars, it
shows how necessary it is for the gen
eral introduction of a better and a
safer means of doing this work, not
only for passenger but for freight and
coal cars.
THE construction of railroads in
this county for the year 1891 was less
than any year since 1885. The estimate
of the Railway Age makes the con.
struction little more than 4, 100 miles
against GOSO miles in 1890, and 573C
miles in 1880, and 7120 miles in 1888
In 1887, the last and biggest year Of
railroad construction, u, ,7a4 miles were
built. Everything points to an increase
in construction in 1892.

ductors, Brotherhood of Locomotiy,
