A few weeks since the Elyria Democrat
stated that there were good and sufficient
reasons why Mr.. Thomas should not be
elected prosecuting attorney. The Enter
prise enquired as TO whether they were
others than that he was good republican,
to which the Reporter retorled:
No. It's the nature Of the beast The
Democrat hopes with the help OF the
onion allies to injure the prospects OF the
republican party by reducing the MAORI
ty of one of its nominees, who was fairly
nominated by a large majority IN a re-
publican convention held according to the
usages of the party. II the Enterprise

Democrat and the organ of the onion brig.
ade, has nothing to say in defense OF Mr..
Thomas or in opposition TO the assaults oil

him.
Guess Brother johnson failed to get
things quite correct this time. We intey-
viewed a few of the "onion allies, as they
are termed, and they assured us that they
we're not only not opposing the election OF
Mr.. Thomas, but on the contrary, were
decidedly friendly 10 him. Mr.. johnson
should now turn his guns onto the pros

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.


SYRACUSE, N. Y, Oct. 1.-THE repub-
lican state convention met at noon yes
terday and selected Patrick w. Culli-
men as temporary chairman. Mr. Gull
linen made brief speech. Hon. Frank
Brundage, of Buffalo, was nominated
for permanent chairman. Mr.. Brun-
dage on taking the chair addressed the
convention at some length. The usual
committees having been appointed, the
convention took q recess until $3.50 p.
m. Upon reassembling, Hon. C. NJ.
Depew made ten-minute speech in
response to yells from the convention.
The platform adopted was substan-
TALLY as follows. After devoting sew
eral planks to state issues 1t says: "We
reaffirm our devotion TO the principles
embodied in the Minneapolis platform;
we commend republican senators and
representatives In congress for their
sturdy adherence TO the cause of sound
money, stable currency, protection
TO all industries and the welfare Of the
American wage.earner, a fair ballot
and the just recognition Of the services
Of the Union veteran.
1--WE believe that the declaration
made in the national platform Of 1899
in favor Of protective tariff has been
brought home TO numerous industrial
communities and myriads Of families
OF wage-workers by the present uncer-
tainty existing in all branches Of in
dustry and which is undoubtedly due,
TO large extent TO the fear Of an in
discriminate reduction Of protective
duties now in course Of progress at
Washington"
The resolutions wore unanimously
adopted.
Gen. John NJ. Palmer was then nomi-
mated for secretary Of state by acclama-
ton, while James Roberts received
the nomination for comptroller in the
same way. The ticket was completed
as follows:
For state treasurer, Addison b. Col.
vim, of Glens Falls; attorney general,
Theodore c. Hancock, Syracuse; state
engineer and surveyor, Campbell w.
Adams, Utica; Judge OF the court oi
appeals, Edward T. Bartlett New

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Oct. b.-lhls Weeh hae
been far from satisfactory to the admins
trstion. First came the dissatisfaction
among democratic congressman at the ar
bi,ary order Of Pres, Cleveland compelling
thep 10 submit their business with the
president to Prlya,e Secretary Thurber,
who decides whether they may or may not
see the president. This dissatisfaction be-
came so marked that an official explana-
,ion was given out from the white house
TO the effect that the original order was is-
sued because Pres. Cleveland had decided
to accept the recommendations OF mem
bers of his cabinet as to all appointments
coming under their several departments
and that 1t was, therefore, unnecessary Tor
congressman to see him concerning ap-
poin,ments.
While nearly all Of the republican SEN
ators believe that compromise is the only
way out of the silver deadlock, they are
taking no part in bringing it about, feeling
that the proposition for compromise
should come from the democrats as long
as that party is in majority in the senate
and responsible for regislation. The re-
publicans also know that any proposition
they might make for compromise would
be misconstrued.
The second week of the debate in the
house on the bill for the repeal of the fed
eral election laws has been, If possible,
even more interesting than the first, the
republicans allowing the democrats to do
most of the talking, contenting themselves
with interjecting question now and then
Just to show the falsity Of the democratic
arguments.
The big sugar trust now has lobby al
Washington for the purpose of seeing that
the democratic members Of the house
ways and means committee do not weaker
under the great pressure that is now be
ing brought TO bear upon them and leave
sugar untaxed.
Representative Davis, of Kansas
showed the house committee on banking
and currency how little he knew abou
sound financial methods by an argumen
in favor of his bill to issue $500, 100000 il
fractional currency. His statement tha
the farmers were unable TO pay thei
debts on account Of scarcity OF none.
was repudiated by every member Of th'
committee, republican and delnocra
alike, so far as their districts is concerned
and he was several times cornered badl.
by questions from members Of the com
mittee. Mr.. Davis is one Of those who be
lieve that all that the government has +
do is to keep on Issuing money withou
regard to its future redemption, in orde
to make everybody prosperous and happy
The house committee on invalid pen
sions wants to know about those pensio
suspensions as well as about some othe
methods of the present management o

held this week, 1t authorized the report

THE CASUALTY RECORD.


The number of railway employees
killed during the year covered by the
report was 1854, being fewer than the
number killed during the previous year.
The number of employees injured, how
ever, was in excess OF the number In
jured during the previous year, being
%, ,987. The number OF Pas0sagDTt
killed was largely in excess Of the
number killed during the previous year,
being $40 in 1892, as against 293 in 1S9li
while the number of passengers in
iured was 3,227 in 1892, as against 2,972
in 1891. An assignment OF casualties
TO the opportunity offered for accidents
shows one employe TO have been killed
for every 222 employees and one en-
ploye TO have been injured for each
twenty-nine men in abe employ OF the
railways. A similar comparison shows
one passenger killed for each l,49l, ,9lO
passe n gers carried, or for each 35 5,542,-
2s2 passenger miles, and one passenger
injured for each 173, 1888 passengers car
ried, or each 4,140, 900 passenger miles
The largest number of casualties to
employees resulted from coupling and
uncoupling cars, S7s employees hav-
ing been killed and 10,3l9 injured
while rendering the service. The total
number killed in coupling and uncou-
pling cars was 1858, and of the total
number injured I,766 were tralnnet.
The accidents classed as falling from
cars" were in this year, as in previous
years, responsible for the largest num-
Der Of deaths among employees the
number killed in this manner being
Gil. OF this number 4S5 were train
men. Collisions and derailments were
responsible for the death of 4S1 en-
ployes. OF this number 8S6 were train
men. This class OF accidents is re-
sponsible also for the largest number
OF casualties to passengers. Thus III
passengers were killed and 1859 were
injured by collisions and derailments
during the year Collisions alone were
responsible for the death Of 2s6 EN-.
ployes and 1875 passengers.
II is recommended that the express
companies, corporations owning depot
property, elevators and the like, used
by carriers for interstate traffic and
carriers by water so far as they en-
gage in interstate traffic, shall be re-
uuired to make reports to the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
