RESOLUTIONS.
That part OF the platform dealing with
national issues Is as follows
The Democracy OF Ohio. in convention
assembled. hereby expresses its hearty
CONNIE ndatlOn OF the efficient economical,
ana honest administration Of President
Cleveland. We adhere 10 the declaration
or the Democratic party In It's national
platform that protection Is a fraud. ana
we recognize the beneficial reduction OF
duties on imports just made by Congress.
We favor such further reductions as
can be made holding in view the revenue
government. 10 the end that the injustice
Of purely protective duties may be
abolished. We congratulate the country
upon the repeal OF the Mckinley tarlt
and the enactment OF a tariff law In lts
stead. under the operation of which TRACE
and business are reviving and the country
IS again becoming prosperous.
The Mckinley tariff went into operation
loss than four years ago. yet In that
short period the country changed from
prosperity % a condition Of financial ana
Industrial depression unparalleled IN our
history as "A nation. Under its operations
the revenues derived from duties on I'M
ports decreased 10 a sum insufficient 20

and consequent increase Of the interest

it more business f9iiures occurred than
ever before in the history Of the country

A Word Picture OF Thackeray.


need scarcely say that when he was not
in a techy temper, caused by extreme phys
ical anguish. writes G. A. Sala, Thackeray
was one of the most delightful conversa-
tionists 1t was possible to imagine. There
were very few subjects indeed on which he
could not talk. and talk admirably. He was
as fluent in the French and in the German
az in the English language. He had.
should say, o fair knowledge Of Italian. He
was never tired Of discoursing about books
end bookmen, about pictures and painters,
about etchers and engravers and lftho-
graphers; and, moreover, he was u born Wit
and a brilliant eplgrammatist. So We walk
ed and talked. by hustling Knightsbridge in
to crowded Piccadilly; and, halting just op-
posite Morers the well-known Italian ware
house, Thackeray observed that he was
about to order some wine.
He made me a bow which, in its sweep
ing stateliness, would have done honor to
Sir Charles Grandson; concurrently giving
me his hand, which was cold enough to
have belonged to a professor Of swimming
who had just emerged from his tank, and
then he stalked over the way, leaving in
my mind a perplexed impression that he
had suddenly forgotten who / was, or that,
knowing me, he had arrived at the conciu-
sion that was a confounded bore, and that
the sooner he got rid Of me the better 1t
would be
When I came to know him intimately,
fully understood the reason for these sud-
"'standofisSness." Il was only his way.

due either to an acute epasm OF bodily pain,

A Scheme to Increase the Flow and
Pressure of Natural Gas.

A Scheme to Increase the Flow and
Pressure Of Natural Gas.
From the Pi,tsburg Dispatch.
what is known as the Heckert-Rowland
plan for generating natural gas in the bow
els of the earth is about to be given a
practical demonstration in Findlay, Ohio
The necessary pumps and engines are now
being erected on the site of the old wether-
aid rolling mills in the northeastern part Of
the city. This is in the vicinity of several
abandoned gas wells, which will be utilized
fer conducting the experiments. The theory,
which was evolved by William Heckert, q
well-known mechanical engineer, at present
a member Of the F'indlay city council. will
work a revolution in the natural gas region
II II proves practical
Heckert proposes, by means of powerful
pumps to force air down into the gas-bear-
ing rocks, which 1t will permeate, and
thereby become infused with the active
properties OF the gas itself. 1t is contended
that as now burned for fuel, the natural
gas requires an admixture of nine parts of
air to one part Of gas. and that this mixing
can as well be done In the earth as in the
stove or in the furnace where II is burned.
The great trouble in the gas region is not
so much the decrease In the volume OF gas
as the decrease In the pressure. This has
fallen or IN a large portion OF the Ohio
field, from 400 pounds. at which II started,
to ~ to 80 pourds and this is found to be
insufficient to convey the gas from the wells
through the system OF pipes to the point Of
consumption. The friction takes up all the
initial pressure.
By Heckert's process this lost pressure
will be re-established. His air pumps, con-
stantly at work, will force enough air down
one hole to create a pressure sufficient to
force the remaining gas, mixed with the
air, out OF several other holes, and give 1t a
strong initial pressure In the pipes. The gas
thus formed, or charged with air, will be
ready for burning with little additional
mixture of air at the point of combustion
1t is also claimed by Heckert that air thus
pumped down into the rock, and passing
over end through the pools Of oil which are
now almost universal in the Trenton rock
in this section. will take up the volatile gas
Of the oil and force II up the convenient
wells ready for use.
Inside of a month or two the preparations
for the trial OF this important theory Will
be made

Shocking Cruelty to a Horse. -.
The horse Of Mr.. Samuel O. Wendell was
barbarously treated on Thursday night
while in pasture at Tehleytown, with some
implement. in all probability a scythe; it's
flesh was hacked and torn from its face
Until it hung down in bloody. ieathery
pieces. 1t is said. too. that 1t was the
not the slightest doubt that the cruel treat
nent was Intended for the horse of Officer
McCabe There Is. no conclusive evidence
against the perpretrator Of the act. but 1t
is said that of late McCabe has had diff
culties with a neighbour who, on more than
one occasion. has exhibited a decided taste
for animal torture. Mr.. Wendelrs horse
had strayed into McCabe's pasture lot on
Thursday night and the torturer had mis-
taken him for the rightful occupant.

MIR. WILSON TALKS.
He Declares MI. Cleveland Has No
Thought of Running Again.


Referring to the recent election in the
state of Maine, Mr. Wilson Of West Vir-
ginia yesterday, in London. said that he did
not consider the republican victory as a
pronounced criticism of the tariff legislation
Of Congress.
According to Mr.. Wilson, some of the
democrats of Maine are temporarily anger
ed at certain tariff reductions. especially at
the reduction of the duty on lumber. But.
he added, Names situation prevents that
state from being an index OF the political
currents of the United States.
Mr.. Wilson decidedly stated that Pres
ident Cleveland had no thoughts of again
being candidate for the presidency.
Messrs. Reed and Mckinley were, in his
opinion, candidates for the republican nom-
fr alton, but he thought the republican party
would probably select tariff conservative
like Allison.
The United States, Mr.. Wilson also said,
would never revert to "McKinleyism or
to blind. greedy. selfish protection. The
tariff will not be attacked, and when Con-
gress meets its errors. which are in detail
only, will be corrected"
