champion. The Californian stands six

the Englishman five feet nine and one

over two hundred aud six pounds. His
present weight is one hundred

weighed as high as two hundred

beam at one hundred and ninety, only
six pounds less than Corbett's present
weight The Englishman'S flesh is

Col. Ainsworth's brilliant Record.

Col. F. c. Ainsworth, the chief of the
record and pension department division of
the war department, against whom bitter
feelings of hostility have been aroused on
account of the collapse of Ford's theatre,
and the great loss of life, was born and
reared in Woodstock, and his mother still
lives there. He has had very brilliant
record. He graduated with high honors
from the medical department of the Uni
versity of Vermont and the New York
medical school, was appointed surgeon in
the army, and after several years was Sc
lected to re0rganize the bureau of pensions
of the war department.
From a bureau, the work of which SEEM
ed hopelessly behind, he lifted the records
and pension division within the compare
lively short time of two years into a cond-
ton where it could boast of being able to
answer every question addressed to it in
less than "A hours after receipt of the in
quiry. He did more than this; he copied
in that time, or at least made abstracts of,
all the original records on file in the war
department, thereby saving those perisha-
BILE but valuable documents which through
frequent and careless handling were in
danger either of being damaged beyond the
hope of further use to the government and
applicants for pensions, or of being lost
altogether. Col. Answorth's re0rganiza-
tion meant a saving of 100000 year to
the government, in addition to preserving
records. By a special act of Congress his
position was made permanent, and he was
given the rank of colonel. He disclaims
all responsibility for the disaster.
The intmation now is that the outcry
against Col. Ainsworth is started mainly
by the pension attorneys who have found
him standing in the way of their schemes,
and keeping the records division from be-
ing used to aid illegitimate raids on the
treasury.

Gov. MekInIey nenomInnted.

The Ohio Republicans, in state conven-
ton at Columbus last week, unanimously
renomnated Gov Mckinley by acclama-
ton. On being escorted to the conven-
tion hall the governor was received with
enthusiastic and long continued applause.
In his speech accepting the nomination for
a second term he redfiirmed the principles
of Republcanism in his own vigorous, de-
termined and incsive way. He arraigned
the Cleveland administration for the exist
ing financial stringency, because, sit has
announced no policy, suggested no relief
and given no sign of its disposition or abil-
ity to restore confidence and stop the out
flow of gold to foreign countries and the
contraction which has taken place at home.
The one hundred million of gold reserve
which Mr. Cleveland in his first admins
tration set apart as a sacred fund to re-
deem the greenbacks, and which sum he
dedicated to that purpose and no other, he
he has been the first, singularly enough, to
encroach upon, the first to drop below the
hundred million line which he himself had
established as the only line of safety"
The Democratic party promised better
times as the result of its victory in 1892,
but sit has not been able to mainta in the
good times which were enjoyed everywhere
in this country on the day of victory
1T may he that the new administration is not
responsible for the condition which is upon us. Ii
is So asserted. and will be again, that this condi-
tion ought not to be chargeabe to it. because the
administration has done nothing to produce it
aud can do nothing to prevent it. | concede you,
that if nothing can be done by the administra-
tion or Congress to relieve the situation then the
administration should not be held accountable
But is this true; If today the President should
officially and authoritatvely announce that there
would be- no change in the industrial legislation Of
the country. and that the financial situation would
be met and solved upon that standard of financial
honor and national good faith which has guided
the Republican party since its installation Ia pow
er in 1861, confidence would at once come back
Would il noti Does anybody doubt it: Security
would dsplace alarm Faith in the future SO
Indispensable to easy money and good times -
would be restored; geld would stay at home and
money would go from Its hiding place into the
great avenues to business where it belongs II IL
is true, the administration boldly proclaims
that our financial distress is occasioned by the
silver purchase law, which requires the govern.
ment to buy 4,5O0O0 ounces of silver every month
and issue treasury notes therefor, then why does
not the administration convene Congress and r.
peal that law"
Gov. Mckinley reasserted the devotion
of he Republican party to the principle OF
protection, and in every respect set a high
true KEYNOTE for the Ohio campaign.

Democratic .'ReFormn EIempIined.

c. NJ. Newton of Middletown, Conn,
formerly of Newfane, is a living example
of how Democratic reform works. I'm
til yesterday Mr.. Newton was the govern
ment postal card agent at Birmingham,
Conn, having been appointed to the place
by President Harrison in February, 1890.
Unfortunately for him, in this instance he
is an old soldier and Republican. June
he was notified that his resignation would
be accepted, and he answered that, having
performed his duties faithfully, he knew
no reason why he should resign in way
that would throw distrust on his official
station. Then came an order summarily
removing him June 10. That the case is
an aggravated one is shown by this ex-
planation in the Hartford Courant: "The
agent represents the government, and it is
his duty to see that the contract is properly
fulfilled. Naturally he would serve through
the period of the contract. Mr. Newton's
predecessor was a Democrat. The con-
tract that he supervised ran for four years,
and under President Harrison he held his
place undisturbed through the whole term
of the contract. Nor was that all. The
contract expired in 1885, but it was extend
ed into 1890, and the Democratic agent was
allowed to stay, too. He held on until
Feb. TO- 1890, when the work that he was
supervising ceased. With the new con-
tract Mr. Newton, Republican soldier,
came in. The contract that he supervises
runs out Oct. l, 1888 1t is now mid-June.
Only three and one-half month remain to
complete the work, but Democrats are hun
grY for three and half months at S2500
year.
"This is in defiance of the example set
byRepublicans, and it involves the removal
of an old soldier. Republicans must go
and the talk about civil service reform that
was heard before November has given way
to large demand for places, for pay, and
for the removal of all Republicans who
stand between hungry Democrats and the
public crib

The much-talked-of Viking ship from
far-away Norway entered the harbor of
New London at o'clock Tuesday after
noon, and anchored near the mouth of the
Thames. About an hour before that the
peculiar craft, avessel without bowsprit,
with only one mast, and lying not more than
three feet out of the water, was sighted some
miles outside of the city, and the news of
its approach brought out crowds of people
who lined the shores and headlands. The
vessel is not quite 40 feet long and only Is
feet deep, and is a reproduction of such a
craft as Left Erickson must have sailed in
over to this country and down to the coast
of southern New England, 400 years and
more before Columbus. Its destination is
Chicago, to be one of the sights at the
Worlds Fair.

Death nrC. CnttreII.

The mechanical interests, on which the
remarkable development of the modern
printing industry is based, have suffered a
real loss in the death of Calbert b. Cot
trell of Westerly, r. l., which took place
Monday afternoon. Mr.. Cottrell was a
native Of Westerly, born in 1921, and was
the head and founder of the firm of c. b.
COttrell Il Sons, printing press manufact-
urers, one of the largest of its kind in the
country. Mr.. Cottrell possessed positive
genius for mechanical invention, and it has
been through him more than any other
man that country printers have had placed
within their reach presses with the best
devices and inventions to facilitate their
work He was a man of great kindness of
heart, and of marked affability in his per-
sonal and business relations. In politics
he was Republican, and in his religious
views a Seventh Day Baptist, holding de-
votedly to the views of that sect, and con-
ducting his business with reference to its
belief, the Westerly factories, employing
some 800 men, being always closed on Sat
urday and running on Sunday. He amass-
ed a handsome fortune, as he deserved to
do. He is survived by a wife and seven
children, among whom are four sons who
succeeded some years ago to the RESPONSE
bility of the business management.

An Improved Financial Feeling.

A statement, issuing from official sources
in Washington, says: The financial situa-
tion of the country, as viewed from a treas
ury standpoint, shows general improve
ment. Bank and commercial failures are
fewer, Europe is buying our grain in great
er quantities; gold shipments have ceased,
at least for the present; confidence is be-
ing restored and money is not so tight.
There is a general feeling that the worst is
passed, the weaker financial institutions
and business firms having succumbed,
while those that passed through so far un-
scathed, are the stronger for having wealth
cred the financial storm.

Up to this time the state of Massachu-
setts has not made great headway toward
proving that Lizzie Borden killed her
father and step-mother. The impression
left, after reading the evidence, is that the
suspicious circumstances against her are
very strong, but that no iuryman would
like to give his vote to hang her until
more certain evidence than any yet has
been produced. The trouble with the
states case appears to be that it was made
up on the theory that Lizzie Borden must
have done the killing because there was no
one else to suspect, and this theory OK
Gov. Robinson is steadily riddling with
holes. On the other hand the work of the
defence goes, not to prove Miss Borden in

ITS too bad! l wouldn't have cared
SO much if they had been pensioners in
stead of the poor clerks" was the brutal
remark made by eX-Congressman Poindex-
ser Dunn of Arkansas when he heard of
the wreck of the Ford's theatre building
and the attendant loss of life. Dunn is a
Carolinian by birth, and is now a member
of the commission which |as appointed
by John G. Carlisle, the secretary of the
treasury, to investigate the workings of the
New York custom house and the apprais-
ers stores At first he tried to deny the
expression, but the New York Tribune
pinned it with the aftidavts OF men who
heard it,
