At the National Convention of the Pro-
hibition Party last week, the Platform
adopted contained the following:
a. The liquor traffic is foe to civlliza-
ton, the arch enemy of popular govern
ment and public nuisance. i t is the cit
adel that corrupts politics, promotes power
ty and crime, degrades the nations home
life, thwarts the will of the people and
delivers our country into the hands of a
rapacious class interest. 49,
"Ali laws that, under the guise of regu-
lation, legalize and protect this traffic, or
make the government share IN its tll-gotten
gains, are vicious in principle and power
less as remedy. We declare anew for the
entire suppression of the manufacture, i'm
portation, exportation and transportation
of alcoholic liquors as a beverage by Fed
eral and State legislation, and the full
powers of the government should be ex-
erted to secure this result. Any party that
fails to recognize the dominant nature of
this issue in American politics is undeserv-
ing of the support OF the people.

BY THE ROPE ROUTE.
Murderer Reed, of Washington Jail,
Now a Hunted Refugee.
HE CLEVERLY PLOTS AN ESCAPE.
Successfully Followed by Two Pals Who
Were in the Secret.
FITZsIMMONS' EXPLOITS DUPLICATED

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
WASHINGTON, PA, May 19.-This city
was thrown into state of intense excite
ment over the announcement tonight that
Martin Reed, the condemned murderer, and
two others had made bold and successful
escape from the county Jail. Reed was
awaiting execution for the murder of Alex
ander Chappell, and neither he nor Joe
Brown and John Cottam, who escaped with
him, have thus far been apprehended.
The escape was one of the boldest and at
the same time most successful that ever has
been known here. About 9 o'clock tonight
everything was quiet in the Jail. Reed was
reposing in his cell, and all other prisoners
were behaving as usual. At that hour the
guard was somewhat relaxed, as it was not
believed anyone would attempt to escape
from the Washington jail, which has hither-
to been considered of the safest.
ARope, a Man and an Alarm.
Shortly after o'clock J. B. Shaffer, of
this city, entered the jail yard and went to
the rear for drink of water. Everthing
was quiet, but hearing q slight noise from
the building Shaffer turned, and was amazed
to see man sliding down a rope from the
second story. The rope swung to and fro
from asmall hole which had been made in the
brick wall, and when the escaping prisoner
had reached to within about ten feet of the
ground the rope broke, and the fellow fell
heavily to the bottom. He was unhurt,
however, and before Shaffer could give any
alarm, he had leaped to his feet and started
running across the Jail yard, over the fence
and down Beau street at the top of his
speed. Shatfer Immediately raised an
alarm, but before he or anyone else could
interfere, two other prisoners slid down the
rope and we're lost to view.
It was noticed that the first man to slide
down the rope was without hat or coat, and
investigation proved that this man was
Reed. The alarm given soon brought
Sheriff Cherry to the scene with his depu-
ties. A hurried examination was then
made of the Jail cells, when 1t was found
that Reed, Brown and Cottam were missing.
A Plot Cleverly Carried Out.
The escape had been very cleverly planned
and boldly executed The men must have
been occupied in the work for several
weeks at least, and it is wonder they
were not discovered at their work by the
Jail officials. Murderer Reed had been most
carefully guarded of any, but an examina-
ton of bis cell showed that several bars
had been sawed through and then
put back in place. With the slightest

with the understanding that the convention
be allowed to express its choice for candi-
dates, if so desired. He said If Cleveland

ought to express themselves. This was
loudly applauded by the Cleveland men,
and the ants, or Hill men, almost as loudly
opposed.

speaking, the antis making fruitless effort
to shut off his remarks. He read the reso-

adopted the following resolutions:
We, the Democratic party of South Caro-

the depressed condition of the people, the
reign of the plutocrats, and the unequal
laws of the National Congress, hereby re-
affirm our faith in Democratic simplicity.
We pledge anew our allegiance to the prin-
ciples first enunoiated by Jefferson.
Then follows the Ocala platform entire,
word for word. A plank was also inserted

too, that the currency shall be increased,
money be issued direct to the people at low
interest upon good security. Wall
street is declared to have 'entered the
sacred temple of Democracy. Grover
Cleveland's nomination is decried, and his
nomination would be regarded 'as prosti-
tuition of the principles of the Democracy,
as reputation of the demands of the
Farmers Alliance, which embody the true
principles of the Democracy, and a sur
render of the rights of the people to the
financial kings of the country"
