THE VOICE OF DEMOCRACY.

its Duty shall Be TO Expose Republics
Shams and Trickery.
Democratic readers of newspapers
express jubilant qualification that
republican Misrepresentation OF polite
al issues and republican falsehoods and
calumnies regarding democrats in Of
fee are no longer to go unanswered
and unrebuked. Democratic princi-
pies will have Toice in public discus
sion. The other side have been having
their own way and monopoly Of pub
lie attention for wearasome length OF
time. This is no longer the case.
Democratic faith does not waver
other public organ for its advocacy and
der the assaults of liars and slanderers
and to be silent and patient But the
faith of the democratic masses is more
cheerful and hopeful-it is more ag-
gressive and a proselyting faith when
1t has public defenders and advocates.
and when it can give blow for blow in
encounters with enmity and evil.
It is an emphatic fact of the times
that the dependency Of democrats at
the close of last falls elections has
measurably disappeared. The victors
of 1894 have quite as many troubles OF
their own as those which aff1ict the
vanquished. Their success at the
polls has been followed in every state
and locality by factious strifes, by no
torious and disgraceful quarrels over
the distribution of the spoiis, and by
the jealous rivalries of cliques and
candidates for future promotion.
The republican sham reformers, ma
chine leaders, gang politicians, fakirs
and boodlers are in control of that
party. Their schemes of selfish ambi-
ton, corrupt aggrandizement and fac
tious malignity have developed rapidly
since they were placed in power, and
have become of record before the peo-
pie. The voters are able to see plainly
the impudent and CHASTITY farce, the
deception and masquerade of the re-
publican campaign in the name of
honesty and reform. They can appre-

MISS DODGE'S CASE.

While Her Wonderful Vitality Keeps He,
Alive the Spark OF Reason Has Fled.
WASHINGTON, June THE most dis
tressing feature in the case of Miss
Dodge Gail Hamilton is the loss of
her mental powers. Those close to the
family suggest that reason has already
been dethroned. The patient is able to
take nourishment in the shape of milk
with a spoon. She has repeatedly been
apparently at the point of dissolution,
but the life spark has again fickered
into activity and she is to-day no worse
than she was a week ago.

JACK sHEA's HIDING PLACE
The st. Louis Convicted Murderer Found
In the Ohio Penitentiary.

The st. Louis Convicted Murderer Found
In the Ohio Penitentiary.
ST. LOUIS, June 7.-After four years
of constant search, the police have
located the notorious murderer, bur
glar. highwayman and jail-breaker,
John d. Shea, who is much wanted in
this city. He is now an inmate of the
penitentiary at Columbus. O.. but will
probably be brought back to st. Louis
in a day or two.
Two weeks ago Information was re-
ceived by the police that man closely
answering the description of Shea was
in the penitentiary at Columbus under
the name of Charles Sweeney. Core
spondence followed and photographs
were exchanged. Tuesday night De-
tective James Tracy, who knows the
noted outlaw we'll, was sent to Column
bus to see if he could identify the man.
Wednesday evening he sent telegram
to Chief Desmond which read:
''Sweeney is our man. Have not seen
the governor yet, as he is absent. Will
advise you later"
Under the name of Sweeney, Shea
is serving three years term in the
Columbus (O.) penitentiary for a
burglary committed in Stark county,
that state, May 90, 1894.
Shea was one of the most notorious
and dangerous crooks the police of
this city have ever had to deal with.
Three times he escaped from the ST.
Louis Jail, which is regarded as one of
the strongest institutions of its kind
in the country. He now has a term of
fifty years to serve for killing Officer
Doran on November 2, 1881. This
means that he will end his checkered
career In the Jefferson City prison.

up to the mention of his name, he said
it came from section of the south

''The SOUTH" he said, recognized
that to win in the next campaign they
must put forward a man for the posi-

in the unfolding of the country: one
who has never taken up arms, except
in the preservation of the Union.

These facts define the mission of the

which republican success was attained
at the polls in 1894 and will seek to at

AS GOOD AS HIS WORD.

The Sensitive Victim of . Continually
Nagging Wife Threatens to Jump Into
the Ocean, And Follows the Threat by
the Act, and Thereby Prof. Nash, of the
british Educational Bureau. 10 Lost to
the World.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, June -
Prof. T. Nash, chief of the British edu-
cation bureau of India, last Monday
afternoon committed suicide by jump
ing overheard from the steamship City
of Topeka, near Queen Charlotte
Sound, Alaska. The deed was COM
mitted in the presence of his wife, who
is daughter of a Hindoo prince, and
immensely wealthy. Mrs. Nash. who
is finely educated and quite pretty,
was intensely jealous of her husbands
actions In consequence they engaged
In many petty quarrels.
When near Queen Charlotte sound,
about o'clock Monday afternoon. she
called Prof Nash from the smoking
room and, going on deck, began to be-
rate him for some unknown cause. In
the presence of other passengers he
told her that if she persisted he would
Jump overheard. She retorted she
would report him to the cap
tain, who would place him in
irons. AS the wife turned half
round her husband deftly 1eaped
over the rail into the sea. A
general alarm was sounded and life
buoy thrown him, but he made no
effort to reach it. The steamer was
stopped and boats lowered and a most
diligent search instituted without
avail.
Prof. Nash belonged to wealthy
family living in England, and after
fifteen years residence in India was
returning home. When he sprang into
the sea he carried jewels on his person
valued at several thousand dollars
