. MULTIPLICATION FOR OFFICE.

A few DAYS ago the Bryan-Sewali'Jones
Club. of Essex county, came out. as we
reed their resolution, IN favor OK the
doctrine that to the victors belong the
spells. Here is the full resolution:
"Resolyed. That this club desires to en-
phatically express its sentiments tnat
none but Democrats In hearty accord Win
the will Of the party. as settled by the
arbitrament OF the national convention
he nut on guard And that u. therefore,
becomes the duty of the Democratic Ma
fional Committee TO at once declare va
cant the place on that committee occupied
bv any member thereof who does not
earnestly, honestly, and diligently LABOR
20 secure the election of the nominees OF
the Chicago convention, and 10 exclude
such member from consultation or par
ticipatlon i'm any OF the official acts OF
said committee; and in case OF any such
vacancy occurring il is the duty OF the
National Committee 10 fill the vacancy
either directly. or through the interVen-
ton of the State Committee II sucn
course will secure as national commit
teeman a Democrat who is in accord with
the majority CT the party
There is something more in this resolu-
ton. perhaps, than appears on the sur
face. II is not a boiling resolution nor
an attempt TO produce an artificial panic.
on the contrary, the Essex club declares
II to be the duty Of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee 10 see to 1t that none
but true Democrats are placed on guard,
and that these true Democrats ought to
be in hearty accord with the will OF the
party as settled by the arbitrament OF
the Chicago convention. That language
seems TO imply that the administration at
Washington has been dosing the Demo-
Gratis of the First District with little
too much civil-service reform, or appoint
ing men to office who were not known 10
be true to the Democratic party
True as the needle TO the pole,
Although 1t be not shone upon
We like. too, the phrase. 1.-THE arbitra-
ment Of the national convention IL was
first employed in this connection By Presi-
dent Cleveland himself. 1t is still good
doctrine now, as It was four years ago.
that all true Democrats who attend
national convention themselves or take
part with others in sending delegates TO
a national convention SHo"iN
themselves bound by the action of That
convention. There is no way TO escape
such an arbitrament of the questions SUD
nitted for decision to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention.
We do not know whose places 1t is that
the Essex Democrats desire TO have va
Gated. on that point. we have nothing 10
say. All that we wished to say we have
said. except that Virginia will, we trust
keep her skirts clear. Think of the tur-
MOL which will be sure to follow in the
footsteps Of the men who seek now TO
divide the Democrats OF Virginia as the
Democrats of Kentucky, Illinois, and
other Democratic States have been d.
vided already.

an engineer does not follow at all that
he Is an architect They are separate
and distinct professions and should never
be merged one into the other. ana tneS

perience. The City Engineers duties are
numerous, and seem TO be constantly
increasing. Ii would be much better
for the interest and condition OF the cry;

upon this Office were less. our streets
roadways and sidewalks are I'm worse
condition than they were ten years ago.
This, Of course. is due in a measure 10
the undue expenditure OF money upon
our City Hall building, an expenditure
which will be long and sorely feit. ASIDE
from the question OF the efficiency OF an
engineer TO plan and erect these pubic
buildings. he has not the time without
neglecting his legitimate duties ior the
proper thought and preparation OF the
drawings and the Office Is not equipped
with architectural draughtsmen to AID IN

buildings should be designed and erected

and there are those in the city who are
fully capable OF undertaking THIS work
and / am sure the results would be better

public buildings of whatever kind, are
designed and erected under the supervision
OF an architect, and not an engineer.

MIR. Gormnn and Mr.. Jones.
washington Post)

II the advocates OF the free coinage Of
silver hope to win their fight, they can
not afford, even before the lines OF bat
tie are formed to discredt and assault
their chosen leaders. Ii is remarkable,
TO say the least. to find such a stalwart
silver paper as the New York Journal
already sewing the seeds OF disruption
and Dissemination by demanding that
Senator Joncl. the chairman OF the Demo-
cratic National Committee, shall step
down and give place 10 Senator German.
There is no doubt, OF course. OF Mr..
Gornan's adroitness, his ability, his
experience, and his political sagacity.
Mr.. German, however, has distinctly
stated that he cannot. under any cir
cumstances. accept the craftsmanship OF
the Executive Committee; and, in face
OF this assertion. it seems idle 10 call
upon him. The committee, he has al
ready given assurance. will not lack his
aid and counsel in the campaign. and
with this silent but effective partner
ship 1t must be content.
As for Mr. Jones there seems TO be no
reason why he should be made the sub
iect for unnecessary and undeserved at
lacks at the beginning OF the campaign,
and at the hands of his own friends. He
proved his ability as manager when
he skilfully carried an Objectionable
tariff measure across a narrow chasm in
the Senate, and his success as an or
ganizer was amply demonstrated in the
strength and solidity OF the silver forces
at the Chicago convention. To disparage
him at this time. simply because he has
been made the victim Of misplaced conf
dence-because he happened 10 be mis-
quoted by an irresponsible newspaper cor
respondent, seems as unreasonable as 1t
Is absurd.
Mr.. Jones is only at the beginning
of the struggle. He may, and doubtless
will make mistakes. No man is mfal-
lible We venture to admOnsh our sill
yer friends however. that they are pur-
suing an unwise course when they fail to
hold up his hands He viii certainly
receive no support or sympathy from tho
Republicans. They will be quick to find
flaws i'm his conduct, and TO subject him
TO rigid criticism. II the silver forces
do likewise, the spectacle Will be afforded
OF house divided against itself and the
result OF such a division is as certain as
fate

MIR. JONES AND HIS TALK.

That Chairman Jores. OF the National
Democratic Committee. has been misrep-
resented in the remarks he made about
the Populsts. We have no doubt. But
he should not have said even what he
admits that he said. No wonder the
Georgia and Alabama Populists are
incensed at him. Some of their
leaders, not the masses, wanted to be
incensed, and were marching around with
chips on their shoulders. when Senator
Jones Furnished them with the oppor-
tunity that they desired.
Mr.. Jones is reported to have said that
tho Democrats would not take down Sc
wall and that the Populists could go
IN the negroes where they belonged
His correction puts a different face upon
this statement. but, we fear. still con-
tains much that is offensive TO Populists,
and especially to their leaders, who
DO not wish their Importance sacrificed
by fusion of Populists with Democrats
After this. we think Mr.. Jones will be
more careful. He means well and Is
man Of ability and high character; but
he holds a position where the temptation
to talk is strong. and where nine times
out Of ten it would be better for one to
overcome it and remain silent
When Mr.. Jones has had the experience
OF David 3. Hill or Senator German, he
win know better when TO talk, and whom
to talk to. But we repeat that he is
an able and good man, and one who en-
joys in a large measure the confidence oil
the Democrats of the country, and espe-
cially of those Of the South.

ca,,eral times recently reference has
Zen made TO the fact that Hon. William
MCKINLEY voted for the Stanley Matthews
financial preamble and resolution Of 1871.
stanley Matthews was then one Of the
sonators from Ohio, and the resolution
i'm question reads:

not i'm violation of the public faith or in
derogatlon Of the rights OF the public
CREDITOR
Evidently Hon. William Mckinley ana
the others who voted for this measure,
but who now charge the silverites with
dishonesty. did not think in 1877 that It
would be the depth Of dishonor for the
government TO meet its obligations in
ANYTHING except gold. However. we
must do Mckinley the credit TO say that
we can understand how in view OF this
record, he found 1t very difficult to nerve
himself up 10 the point Of mentioning
gold IN his speeches.

WHALES ATTACK A STEAMER.
Five Made Four Rushes ut the Semi
mole and Caused Her TO Trembie.

Ry telegraph to the n. Y. Herald)
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, August A.
With great dents in the plates on each
side. and with some Of the delicate ma
chinery in the engine-room disarranged,
the steamer Seminole, Of the clyde Line,
arrived here from New York this mo.n-
ing. The damage TO the vessel was the
result of an encounter with monster
whales. Soon after passing Sandy Hook
|. b. Morton, the purser, says the vessel
ran into a school Of whales. Soon SIX
of the monsters appeared almost under
the ships bow, and she crashed into
one of them.
The impact apparently broke the
whales back, and it began to spout blood.
Then the officers and passengers wit
messed a remarkable sight As il in a
rage. the five other whales drew of a
short distance and dashed madly against
the vessel, causing her TO tremble from
stem TO stern The whales repeated this
performance four times, and at each col
lsion the Seminole quivered as If about 10
go TO the bottom.
Many Of the passengers were hurled TO
the deck and bruised. Several women
tainted. So terrible was the shock that
some of the furniture In the saloon was
broken from its fastenings. The whales
we're badly injured by the collision, and
after the fourth rush drew away spouting
blood. They tried 10 come again but
moved slowly because Of their injuries,
and the vessel soon distanced them.
II was feared that the Seminole was
hadlv damaged, but examination shows
only the superficial Injuries mentioned.

THE CHICAGO FAILURE.

The New York Times. in commenting on
the great Moore failure IN Chicago, says
some satisfaction IS to be derived from
the indications that the blow has fallen
with much greater force upon the ma
nlpulators" and their allies in the trusts
than upon the individual buyers VINO
we're drawn into the speculative move
ment.
Yet. despite this dig at trusts, the Times
in this campaign gives aid and comfort to
the Republican party, which notoriously
leeislates I'm the interest Of trusts and
combines. 1t has been the policy OF the
Republicans when in power TO run into
al sorts of extravagances and deplete the
Treasury. By this means they have
sought TO convince the public that a high
tariff was necessary, which high tarih
would better enable them TO protect ana
foster trusts. combines, and monopolies'
Since Mckinley himself and the simon
pure Republican papers have forced the
tariff so prominently to the 'front.' the
antitrust and anti-protection papers that
embraced the financial plank OF the ST
Louis platform, without pausing TO con-
cider what was underneath IT or to what
If was morticed, find themselves in a very
awkward position.

senator Jones Never said II.


'You wire me concerning purported
interview with Chairman Jones, and ask
me for a statement with reference to the
same.
Il am not prepared to believe that
Senator Jones was quoted correctly The
election Of Mckinley would mean not
only four years more of Shermanism and
Clevelandism, but also many additional
and cumulative resulting evils. No In
telligent, patriotic voter. no true Amen-
can citizen can by his action or inaction
be responsible. directly or indirectly, for
such a threatened calamity. When the
cause OF outraged and suffering humanity
is trembling in the balance; when victory
for American independence and prosperity
is in sight. what a humiliating and sick
enlng spectacle It would be should the
followers of personal ambition and the
demon of party spirit step in 10 confuse
and divide the allied majority, and de-
liver our people into the hands OF the
enemies of the republican institutions.
III would be better for candidates and
chairmen TO do less talking for the
present. but in spite Of the indiscretions
of individuals and so-called leaders, the
American people have determined TO Win
this fight, and they will do IT,

THE GOULDs DID 1T.
Their Fine Italian Hand In the
Moore Collapse.

A Chicago telegram in the New York
Journal says: While the failure or the
Moore Brothers, the giants behind the
great Diamond Match and New York
Biscuit deals. created profound sensation
when the news was read this morning,
il is not going out Of the way 10 say
that back Of the sensation on the street
was the quiet. but generally under
stood. belief that the fine Italian hand
Of the Goulds was to be discerned In the
crash.
1t was understood here several months
ago that the sons OF Jay Gould had grown
FESTIVE over the alleged monopoly en-
joyed by the Diamond Match people. In
order 70 check its growth Edwin Gould
organized the Continental Match Com
pany, and. with machinery equally as
good as that owned by the Diamond
Company. became an active competitor
for business. II was known alse that
the Gouds' mastery financial genius
had manifested itself in the proposed
transactions in Europe and that their
power had interfered with the plans OF
the Diamond people. 1t was this know
ledge which caused a slump In Diamond
stock from 80 TO 220 IN a few days.

Some Of the Republican papers are dis
covering that the Indianapolis convention
trail is getting uncomfortably fresh.
These papers never supposed that the
third ticket movement would really result
in the nomination of a third ticket, but
they encouraged the talk about 1t IN
the hope of getting the gold Democrats
so far committed against the Chicago
platform that there would be nothing left
for them TO do but fuse with the Repub-
licans, and vote for Mckinley. Now
however the papers aforesaid begin to
fear that the indianapolis gathering may
after all eventuate IN some sort OF or
ganization Independent Of the Republi-
can party, and their uneasiness is very
manifest. For our own part, We do not
see how the indianapolis convention can
prove anything but a Republican SIDE
show; nevertheless, the discontinue OF
our contemporaries in question is very
amusing.
