DEMOCRATIC SLAMS.

The Democratic party is shamming
again. II is only repetition OF history
however; the Democratic party has been
an institution Of shams and make-shiits
since is foundation in this country
Never has IL shown it, true colors i'm the
smoke OF battle, but lis history records
that deception has always iloated from
its standards TO be supplanted by bitter
reality after the masses OF voters have
given il power TO act
Since the time Of Alexander Hamilton
the policy OF protection, as applied In
protective tariff levied against foreign
goods, coming into compton with those
OF American manufacture, has been
known To be one OF striking bcnefcenco
TO this country and since that time, the
tariff question has been the real issue
envolved in the quadriennial contests
for governmental supremacy between
the two great political parties OF the
country. In all OF these years the Dem
ocracy OF today has been assiduously
engaged in assuring the people that the
tariff is but n secondary consideration !;
that while the wicked Republicans,
Wings or VIVA not the building-up
party might be styled, were guilty OF
gross Partially in the levy OF tariff
"taxes," which would OF course be recti-
fed, some greater reform excused the
existence OF the Democracy. Time, and
time again, have the people fallen
victim To such deception. A. n result,
on one occasion, our nation was
threatened with ACKNOWLEDGMENT; on
another, the country VIZ plunged into
the most distressing panic 1t has ever
seen. The last example liz still fresh in
the minds OF the people and as the prcsi.

OF a new shit becomes pressing. The
Democratic attorneys are equal TO the
occasion and we have the financial ques-

MKINLEY FOR PRESIDENT.

IL were something more than n twice
told tale TO say that the man whom the
Republican party put IN nomination
two weeks ago for the highest honor IN n
peoples gift stands for the triumph,
the vindication, the incarnation OF a
principle. And so much more may be
said than thai concerning the nomina-
ton OF William Mckinley, that one may
pass almost without reference the truth
that was crushed 20 earth in 1890 TO
rise again in 1896.
Not only protection does this candi-
dature represent. but two things that
are nobler than protection. One Is
stainless honor, knightly faith. The
other is that unshakable adherence to
principle that worAs it out to the end,
betide what may.
This is the man who put twice away
from him the crown. This is the man
who never in his public life but once
betrayed emotion. That was when. in
the convention OF 1888, his soul re-
volted at the proiier OF presidency
coupled with breech OF pledge from
which the march Of events had ahsolved
him.
This is the man who, first among the
protectionist American statesmen OF
one hundred years, dared TO except as
his guide the exact logic of the protec-
ZIONIST principle and let It lead him
where IL would, 10 victory or defeat.
This is not only the man whose policy
on this account was eXecrated, trf
duced, reviled and misrepresented by
his foes TO n pitch which had before
seemed unattainabe This is the man
who on this account was feared by his
friends IA an irreconcilablc, an unman-
ageable extremist and doctrinare. This
IL the man who placed his craft upon
the highest shelvage OF the beach TO wait
for the rising tide.
IL might be, il il, much for the mr
terial welfare OF the county that the
nomination ut ST. Louis two weeks ago
recorded the complete triumph in the
party, and foreshadowed the complete
triumph in the country, OF the economic
principle which has brought more OF
worldly goods to the peoples OF the
earth and distributed them more
equally than any other principle. But
il is far more TO the moral welfare OF
this people, without which it is not n
people, but n mass Of animate atoms,
that this victory has come TO this
man, because in the crucial crisis OF his
life he kept u soul unspotted and "A
courage high.
The great roll OF enkindling examples
OF American public life IL added To by
the success OF William Mckinley. And
that, more than the vindication Of any
party principle, Is the good part OF his
nomination.

In O'TOOLE'S FAVOR.
Some Strong Testimony Given in
Court Today.
It Tended to Show That He Did Not
Shoot at Mrs. Burke.

This morning considerable testimony
was taken In the case OF the State vs
Alexander j. O'Tools. The testimony for
the defense was in fiat contradiction OF
that offered by the government. Mem
bers OF the O'Toole family swore that at
the time OF the alleged shooting Mr..
O'Tools did not have q light suit OF
clothes In his possession, and that he
could not have been the man who, Mrs.
Burke claims, fred the shot. Parties
near the place where Mrs. Burke claims
the firing was done testified that the
report came from another direction and
that the noise was that OF gun and
not of revolver. Late yesterday after
noon one OF the witnesses for the State
admitted on contamination that
there was q conspiracy among the four
liquor dealers OF Lymansville and vicin-
iiy to drive O'Tooie out of the place.
The Attorney-General called several
witnesses in reDuttal, all Of whom testi-
hed In confirmation of the stories told
by the States witnssSss In the opening
OF the case.
Walter X. Stiness, O'Toole's counsel.
began his closing argument for the de-
fence shortly before noon, and he claimed
there was conspiracy to inhict oegrsd-
Ing punishment on his client because of
O'Toole's opposition TO the liquor ira tfic.
Attorney General Dubois made n close
and careful review OF the testimony i'm
his closing argument for the State, claim
ing the testimony should lead the jury
to \ verdict of guilty.

A SMALL MATTER.
Time of Appellate Court Taken Up
BY a 19 Cent Case.
Lavcll Ordered TO Disc barge Mortgage
on Gormley's Property,

- -
The bill in equity filed by John b.
Gormley against James B. Laveil, Jr., to
compel the discharge OF a mortgage which
was heard in the appellate court today,
caused quite sharp comment from the
court The case csme before Chief Jus
tice Matteson, and Justices stiness and
Iiilinghsst. and II turned out that the
answer of the defendant disclosed that
the main reason the mortgage was not
discharged was because 10 cents due on
interest had not been paid. The judges
thought this pretty small matter Ia
troublo ths court Overland intimated that
the respondent was offering very trivial
matter Tor the consideration OF the court.
Inc complainant gave q mortgage on
his saloon at 12S Plain street TO defend
ant some time ago, and he repaid the
mortgage note amounting 10 sllOO and
Interest amounting TO s44.79. The dofen-
dant refused to discharge the mortgage,
and this bill was brought.
There was warm explanation between
Attorney Il. ii. Quinn, who represented
Gormley, and T.. J. Mccarthy, who APP
peAred for Lavell. The former claimed
the reason the mortgage was not
discharged was because Mr.. Mccarthy in
sisted on the payment OF the costs in au-
other case between the same parties. Mr..
Mccarthy denied this ana claimed prin-
cipie was involved, and IL did not make
any difference whether the sum due was
10 cents or $500, the defendant vas en-
titled TO his interest on interest.
The three judges did not agree with
Mr.. Mccarthy, and his client, Lavell,
must at once discharge the mortgsg,.

The clock struck ten.
What was she to do? IL witch testi-
| mony were still to be taken in the courts
! Of law, Jane Cone had only to pretend
TO have been bewitched by her; TO tell
what she had seen and heard; to tell the
story of the magic books; TO cite the
interviews with the infidel Calef, and to
point 10 her life as not belonging to
common affairs.
The great golden cup itself might
prove witness against her. Did ever
woman receive gold goblet in such
way outside of the tales of enchant-
ment. A farm on the Charles river had
hecn her early home, and she wished
for simple life again, in some rural cot
tage, into whose doors envy and jeal-
ousy and revenge did not come.

For the first time she knew what the
