within safe lines, and guided by en-
lightened craftsmanship, to be trou-
bled and impatient within our men,
bership we commend a continued,
unswerving allegiance to the party
whose principles in all times past
have been found sufficient for them,
and whose aggregate wisdom and
patriotism their experience teaches
can always be trusted.
In tones of partisanship, which be-
| fits the occasion. let me say to you, as
equal partners in the campaign upon
which we to-day enter, that the per-
s0nal fortunes of those to whom you
have entrusted your banners are only
important as they are related to the
fate OF the principles, they represent
to the party to which they lead. j
cannot, therefore, forbear to mention
to you those attaches of the Demo-
cratic party or supporting principles
which we profess, that defeat in the
pending campaign, followed by the
consummation of the legislative
schemes our opponents contemplate,
and accompanied by such other in
cidents OF their success as might
more firmly fix their power, would
present a discouraging outlook for
Democratic supremacy and for the
accomplishment of the objects we
have at heart.
Moreover, every sincere Democrat
must believe that the interests OF his
country are involved in the victory
of our party in the struggle that
awaits us. Thus a patriotic solici-
tude Of partisanship should be our
determination to win success. This
success can only be achieved by
systematic and intelligent effort on
the part of all enlisted in our cause.
Let us tell the people plainly and
honestly what we believe and how
we propose to serve the interests OF
our country, and let us in the
manner of true Democrats rely
upon the thoughtfulness and
patriotism Of our fellow country
men. 1t only remains for me to say
to you in advance of more formal
response to your message that / obey
the command of my party, and con-
tidently anticipate that an intelligent
and earnest presentation of our cause
will insure the por ular Endorsement
of the action of the body you repre-
sent.
In delivering his arraignment of
the Republican party Mr.. Cleve-
lands tone grew trifle harsher and
his delivery more emphatic, which
evidently found an echo in the senti-
ment of the audience.
When he said, "Let us tell the peo-
pie what we believe" his voice rose
even higher and he lifted his hands
in an impressive way above his head.

BASEBALL AS IT SHOULD BE.
The Much Talked Of Match Between the
Buyers and warehousemen.

On Monday next the people of
Clarksville will be treated to a game
of baseball played as it should be.
If any one doubts the truth of this
statement let him look at the formi-
dabIe array of, players. Not one of
these men are in the tobacco business
for money, but for glory. Nearly all
were kings of the diamond and earn
ed fabulous salaries and would still
be playing were it not that they
would have to play on Sunday,
which is incompatible with their
sense of moral right. The game will
be called at $3.50 y. m. and it is hoped
that all will remain till the close.
What is a supper missed? The win
ners will at once challenge the
Brooklyn League team. Following
is list of the players and positions,
which will be changed as casualties
occur tC them:

SHOT TO DEATH.
A United States Gauger Killed

Ballinger was shot and instantly
killed by JEFF Sloan night before last

rest him. The doors and windows
were barricaded, and when Ballin-
ger commenced to break open the
door Sloan emptied two gun barrels
of buckshot into him. He gasped
one time and died. Sloan slipped
out the back way and escaped.

A QUESTION OF Law.
For Constitutional Interpreters to An
swer to Suit Themselves.
To the Leaf Chronicle.

To the Leaf-Chronicle.
Since the Iowa and Kansas fusion,
and the unsettled condition of politi-
cal affairs in several of the States, it
has become possible, if not probable,
that the choice of President and
Vice President in the ensuing elec-
tion will devolve upon the Congress
OF the United States. According to
the Constitution of the United States,
when the election is thrown upon
Congress, the President shall be elect
ed by the House and the Vice-P Presi-
dent by the Senate. When we con-
slider the respective interests OF the
members composing the two bodies,
their political faith and duty to their
constituents, we are led to the ma
tural conclusion that the House will
elect Mr.. Cleveland, and the Senate
elect Mr.. Reid. The first part of the
18th amendment to the Constitution
is as follows:
"The electors shall meet in their
respective States and vote by ballot
for President and Vice. President,
one of whom, at least, shall not be an
inhabitant of the same State with
themselves" Peterson, in his work
on the principles of civil government,
construes this as Internationally i'm
plying that both the President and
Vice-President can not be from the
same State. Now the question arises,
is that the proper construction to put
upon that section of our constitution
If it is correct Interpretation, and
if the election should devolve upon
Congress, can they, in the face of this
constitutional Limitation, elect the
two men from New York? II the
House elects Cleveland, can the Sen
ate insist upon the election of Reid ?
These are questions involving a grave
Interpretation of our accepted corsti-
tuition. There may be no need for
this consideration, but there is
chance that there will.
Will some one help us out of the

PITTSBURGH, July 23.-At 1:55 p.
m. Mr.. III. G. Frick, Carnegie's right
hand man, was shot by Alexander
Berkman, a printer, aged twenty
one.
Berkman came into his office, and
without warning fired. 1t is not
yet known how dangerously he is
injured. He is able to talk. The
man has been arrested.
There are four wounds. One in
the neck, two in the back and the
fourth in the side.
Berkman had a knife, and as only
three shots were heard it is supposed
the fourth wound, that in the side, is
from the knife. DIR. Litchfeld is
now making an examination and
says that he cannot tell whether the
wounds will result fatally. Mr..
Frick's condition, however, is re-
garded as very serious.

ON THE MINERAL.
Officers Stafford and Robinson
Locate Their Men.
A Lack of Time, However, Prevents
Them From Effecting The Ar
rest-Will be Caught.

Officers Stafford and Robinson re.
turned to the city last evening, but
they failed to bring their man. They
went to Marion on the Mineral road,
and found that the one they wanted
was about five miles beyond this
station, employed as a laborerun the
Mineral construction. They could
not go out and get him and return i'm
tine to catch the Mineral train for
the city, consequently they left the
matter in the hands of Constable
Schmittou, who left last evening to
arrest the men wanted.
They were on the hunt for two
men. One of them is wanted In
Kentucky for obtaining goods under
false pretenses; the other Is the ne
gro who is wanted at Adams Station
for insulting Mrs. Morgan, and for
whom there is a reward of $50. The
conductor on the Mineral train is ac-
quainted with the Kentucky negro
and says he carried him out on his
train Thursday morning and that he
is now employed on the Mineral.
This negro was accompanied by an
other one who answers the descrip-
tion given of the Adams Station me-
gro exactly, and the officers have no
doubt that he is the man wanted and
that it will only be a short time before
he will be caught.
The officer to whom the policemen
gave the case is a very reliable man
and is efficient in his work. They
have no doubt that they will be sue.
cessful in catching both men.
