All Eyes on Gorman.

The following significant paragraph
appears in the editorial columns of
the American this morning, in which
the editor betrays weakening and
shows that he has no longer any hope
for Mr.. Ceveland's nomination on
the first ballot:
"The few anti. Cleveland men In
the national convention seem dispos-
ed to try the tactics adopted by the
men who sought to beat President
Harrison by the use Of the name and
prestige of MIR. Blaine. Senator Cor
man has been evidently decided upon
as the candidate tC be used to stam-
pede the convention. The Hill vote
is TO 20 to German as soon as Hill is
dropped, as is shown by the recent
meeting of his friends in New York,
and the effort will be made to thus
show to the convention that German
is acceptable to the New York dele
cation. AS the Blaine stampede fail
ed to materialize, so will the cry
"Cleveland is already beaten" fall to
produce an effect other than to make
the delegates who know they repre-
sent the determined, sober, positive
demand of the Democratic masses,
stand more solidly for Mr.. Cleveland.
An announced stampede rarely stam-
pedes convention its possible effect
will have been discounted"
The American omits several facts.
Mr.. Cleveland's friends in New York
have expressed preference for Cor
man as second choice. German Is
the logical candidate on the force bill,
which has been made a leading issue
by the Republicans. He is acceptable
to the silver advocates, and will har-
monize the South. He Is great
leader, as the Democrats know, and
they want winner.

LOUISVILLE, June 1.-THE detec-
tives were notified yesterday of a
daring robbery which occurred at
Orleans STATEN, Ind, sixty miles
from this city. AT o'clock yester-
day morning the conductor on train
No. IA, Of the Monon road, found the
operator gagged, tied down with
ropes, and lying on the floor in one
corner of his Office. The lights had
been extinguished, and the conduc-
tor stumbled over the body of the
operator while cropping about the
room.
The victim of the robbery was Ho-
mer Fisher, who, besides being the
operator, has charge of the ticket Of
flee at Orleans for the Monon rail-
road. The robbers escaped with near
ly 800 in money, and it is thought
that several bundles of tickets were
also taken. The police authorities
i'm Southern Indiana and in this city
were notified, and strong clew has
been found which will probably lead
to the arrest of two employees of the
road.
Fisher was sitting in his Office yes
terday morning at 1880 o'clock read
ing, when he heard some one creep
ing to the window. Before he could
see what was about to happen two
men ran in the door. Ono of these
leveled IA pistol ut his head while the
other turned out the lights. In the
darkness ii was impossible for Fisher
to resist two armed men. They
slipped gag into his mouth, and
with strong cords bound his hands
and feet. Then they took SO from
his pockets, and rolled him into a
corner out OF their way. The rob-
bers were familiar with the place, for
they easily found all the drawers in
the darkness, and priced them open
with a file. They 'ound $50 in cash,
but it could not be told whether any
tickets had been taken. 1t is
thought that several small packages
were stolen. The robbers went about
their work leisprely, and took
a drink Of ice water before leav-
ing. On account of the sudden
ness of the attack and the turning
out of the lights, Fisher was unable
to recognize the men, but he says he
has reason to believe they were ex-
employees of the road. The names
have been given to the police.
After the robbers had left, Fisher
tried to release himself, but this he
was unable to do. The gag prevent
Ell him from making noise, and he
was compelled to lie in the darkness
for an hour and half. His telegraph
instrument called MIN several times,
but he was unable 10 respond. At 3
o'clock the No. IA freight came into
the station. The train officials could
not account for the lights being out,
but search found Fisher bound and
gagged. He was released and the
story of the robbery was told. Sew
eral employees of the road armtd d
themselves and started in pursuit,
but they were unable to overtake the
robbers. 1t is believed that they
came to this city, which caused the
notice to he sent here yesterday.
