ATTACKING THE CHIEF
Henry Watterson Says Bitter Things About
the President.
Took Three Years to Find One and Then
Threw it Up;
he the One to Blame for the Wreck Of the
Democratic Party.

The Cincinnati Tribune publishes a
highly sensational, bat altogether char
acteristic, interview with Hon. Henry
Watterson, at Louisville. Its chief fea-
lures follow:
Haven't the democrats played the
devil?" he said, as an Introductory re-
mark.
"Who is to blame for Tuesdays de-
feat?'
"Why, Cleveland, of course" said Mr..
Watterson, ''more than any other man
on earth. It's all his fault"
"And what's to become of the demo-
cratic party?"
81 don't know. I'm not certain wheth-
er we've got any democratic party or
not. That's the first question that is
suggested by the congressional elections.
Are we real political organization or a
mere agglomeration of factions thrown
together by the upheaval of the times?
If we ever settle that dispute, then the
next inquiry is, what are we going to do
to recover from the terrible licking we
have just received? One thing is certain
tariff reform has got to go down to
the foot and start over.'' ~-
"Do you mean that the democrats
must abandon that issue9'
"No sir. On the contrary if I could
make the platform in 1895, would re
peat, in yet str onger language, the plat
form of 1892. But tariff for revenue
only must be advocated hereafter only
by men who are honest enough to keep
their promises and brave enough to put
the principles into law when the people
have given them the power. The Wilson
bill was not democratic measure, eth
er before it left the hands of its author

Lincoln's Views on Assassination.

That night, as we walked back to the
White House through the grounds be-
tween the War Department buildings
and the house, I fancied that saw in the
misty moonlight a man lodging behind
one of the trees. My heart for mo-
ment stood still, but, as we passed in
safety, came to the conclusion that the
lodging figure was creature of the i'm.
agination. Nevertheless, as I parted
from the President at the door of the
White House, I could not help saying
that thought his going to and fro in
the darkness of the night, as if it was u.s.
nally his custom, often alone and unat-
tended; was dangerous recklessness. That
night, in Difference to his wife's anxious
appeal, he had provided himself with a
thick oaken stick. He laughed as he
showed me this slight weapon, and said,
but with some seriousness: II long ago
made up my mind that if anybody wants
to kill me he will do it. If I wore a
shirt of mail, and kept myself surround
ed by dy-guard, it would be all the
same. There are thousand ways of
getting at man, if it is desired that he
should be killed. Besides, in this case,
it seems to me the man who would come
after me would be just as Objectionable
TO my enemies if I have any, Noah
Brooks, in the Century for November.

candidate into the White House. but we
voted QUIZ party into irreconcilable law
suit between implacable foes"
"Could the democrats win upon the
issue of free silver?"
"Never. It would be fatal step for
the party to take. Yet we must be pre-
pared to see the attempt made to CON-
nit democracy to that financial heresy.
The delegates from the West and South
in the next convention will clamor for
such plank. These are the debt-ow-
ing communities. They see in the pros
pect of more money false light to lead
them out Of their trouble"

Detroit man SAID. Colonel, I sought your
acquaintance In order that through you I
might make the amende honorable to your
brother General Wade Hampton. The sa-
Der cut that he received on the head at Get
tysburg was inflicted by me, and the INIT
ter has troubled me greatly ever since.
1t was my only act during the war that I
regret. l was a young fellow then of 20
and q lieutenant in the Sixth Michigan
cavalry. Seeing solitary Confederate fir
ing into our lines, determined to capture
him. There was nothing about him to in
dictate his rank, but presumed that he was
an officer. The bend in the fence prevent
ed him from noticing my approach. In
deed he was looking to the front as came
on his rear, and the ground being soft near
the fence line he did not hear my horses
step. could have run him through with
my sword, but was incapable Of stabbing
any man in the back. / saw when got
near him that he was Of formidable stat
ure, and as his pistol was in his hand I
felt surc that IL ordered him to surrender
he would instantly turn and fire upon me.
He was mounted on horse of light
chestnut color, which I thought was the
finest animal that had ever seen. 1t was
sore temptation to a cavalry officer, and
at once changed my plan and decided TO
unhorse the rider and capture his splendid
mount. As l struck the blow he turned
upon me. 1t was half mile race for life.
heard his pistol snap three times at my
back and also his parting curse as went
through tho gap In the fence"
Colonel Hampton delivered the cxplana-
tion rendered ly Major S.-for he rose to
that rank-and later General Hampton
acknowledged it by letter, assuring Major
S. that it had given him great gratifca-
tion, and that since he had received 1t he
could only regard the failure of his pistol
to fire with deep sense Of gratitude to
him In whose hands are the balance Of life
and death.
In reply to the inquiry from Hampton,
Major S. wrote that the name of tho frol-
licking rifleman was Frank Pearson; that
he was but 10 years old at the time Of the
duel; that the pistol ball had wounded
him few inches above the right wrist,
and that he was mustered out of service
at the close Of the war as lieutenant and
was successful farmer living near Kala-
mazoo, Mich. Subsequently General
Hampton received letter from Mr.. Pear
son himself, In which he assured the gen
eral that he WINS glad that he had missed
him, and the general responded that he
was very sorry that he had wounded Pri.

MlsHAP TO THE MONTGOMERY
An Explosion Causes Damage That VIII
Take Months to Repair.

Take Months to Repair.
NORFOLK, Va, July 5.-After spending
twenty-four hours at sea the United States
steamship Montgomery met with a mis-
hap which will possibly take her out Of
commission for three or more months. On
Tuesday, while the vessel was of Cape
Henry, Commander Davis decided to give
her a speed trial of eighteen miles. The
engineers had just received orders to start
the vessel at full speed, and were at that
moment turning the steam on to the port
high pressure engine, when a terrific ex.
plosion was heard followed a moment
later by the sound of escaping steam.
The Kissing sound lasted for only a mo-
ment, however. The engineers jumped
for their throttles and shut Off the steam,
and then began an examination of the
machinery. The damage was even greater
than was anticipated. The cylinder head
had been blown out, and the cylinder was
q complete wreck. A nut on the crank pin
end of the connecting rod had become
loose while steam was being turned on for
the speed trial, and under the heavy pres-
sure the cylinder head gave way. This
mishap brought the trial to rather sud-
den close, and the vessel came into Hamp-
ton Roads under her starboard engines,
where her commander is waiting orders.
1t is not known whether she will be re-
paired at this yard or be sent back to tho
contractors. 1t is possible that she will
go to the latter place, as she has not been
finally accepted by the department, and
this trial was to determine her stability
before her final acceptance.

MIDDLETowN, o., July 5.-Fred Snider,
whose wife is dead, and whose children
are all married, lives alone near Le
Sourdesville. Being wealthy and miserly
1t is generally supposed he had much
money about the premises. Late at night
three masked robbers broke in, beating
him terribly. Finally they applied lighted
candles to his feet and other parts of his
body until Snider pointed to drawtr,
where they got $50. They renewed the
torture by burning, but Snider implored
them to search every nook. They tied him
to the bed and left. Neighbors found
snider unconscious. and recovery Is pro-
nounced impossible.
