And with eyes like the eyes of a fox.
Bent low in his chair and eagerly

A small and mysterious box,
And he said, with knowing wag of the

came from personal friend in Boston,
announcing the death of ex-Gov. Russell.
The President was very much shocked
and spoke very feelingly Of the sudden
death. The President said: "My per-

close with ex-Gov. Russell that could
not but be terribly shocked at the news
of his sudden death which I received to.

vice and his attributes of bravery and
patriotism, which made him SO valuable

COURAGEOUS adherence to right and the
unfaultering advocacy OF sound princi-

''It may be said that the country has

Massachusetts cannot fail to mourn
throughout the length and breath Of the
commonwealth the untim ely death of
q son whose character at all times reflect
ed honor upon his nation and state"
The President sent letter of condo

A Panic Caused by Approaching Steamer
Responsible for the Disaster-Fourteaa
Bodies Recovered at IL O'clock--Dis-
gushing Scramble of Undertakers.
. Cleveland, Ohio, July 16.-Toniaht at
eight, while fiat bottomed ferry boat,
loaded with between 40 and 80 laborers,
was crossing the old river channel, it
was capsized. All The men we're thrown
into the channel and between ID and 20
were drowned. The accident vas due to
a panic among the men on board. The
boat was so loaded that the gunwale
was only three inches above the water,
and a passing tug made waves which
came into the boat.
AT once there was rush to the Other
side and the boat went under and spilled
the men. They were all members of a
gang of ore handlers, coming to their
homes.
The scene was one Of wild struggle for
life. Lines and life pressryers were
thrown from the tug and the steamer
Langdon, and many men In the water
were pulled oub. Others were rescued by
small boats, and some swan ashore.
Twenty men were reported missing. The
crowding Of the boat was due to the fact
that the ore gangs pay so much per trip
on the ferry, and the more men that get
on, the less the cost.
The scenes OF grief In the vicinity
where the men lived are heartrsnding.
By eleven tonight, IA bodies were re-
covered and taken TO the various morgues.
An immense crowd gathered on the
the boats conducting the search. Wm.
Benlow, pressman, fell into the river
and was drowned. The scenes enacted by
the undertaksrs were disgusting. They
almost came to blows in their anxiety to
gain possession of the bodies and the
police had TO interfere.

Easily Captured and the Defeat of
the Chicago Ticket Encompossed.
Washington, July 16.-Mr. Eokels,
comptroller of the currency, made the
following statement: II believe the
nominees of the Chicago convention
ought to be defeated, because of the
principles enunoiated in the platform up
on which they stand, and which they
unqualifiedly endorsed. These principles,
II crystalized into law would, to my
mind, inevitibly work irreparable loss
to every class of citizens and cause con-
ditions of distress on every hand.
They are not in accord with the
history, teachings or traditions of the
Democratic party, and therefore cannot
demand the support Of Democrats. The
point Of interest with the Democrats who
reject the action of the convention ought
to be, how the largest and most effective
majority can be secured against the
ticket named. My own view is the nam.
ing Of candidates of high character and
the framing of platform sound in evsry
particular would aid to this end. II
would afford an opportunity which other
wise would be wanting to discuss this
question before Democratic audiences by
| Dem ooratic speakers. Ihs educational
work most needed is within the DemO
cratic party. 1t can best be accomplished
| by those of Democratic faith.
| 1t would also give the Democratic presl
| something tangible to advocate.
sup to this point the merit of the
question has not generally been discussed
| in the convention resulting in the
| national ones. This has been more of the
| denunoiation OF men than the considera
| tion of economic principles. A Demo
cratic ticket will double the number o1
| those who will compel attention to the
| merit of the question and force the oppo-
nents of free coinags of free silver and
| it's accompanying vagariss to meet the
economic facts and financial history with
something more than historical oratory
and passionate mistatements.
ga four months canvass carried out
upon educational lines with Democratic
speakers and papers attacking the
Chicago platform will lose to the candi-
dates standing upon it many thousands
of voters who otherwise might through
lack of knowledge OF Indifference vote fol
them.
''It will not cause any Democrat. who
Is determined to vote for the Republican
nominee not to do SO. 1t will simply
give those who would otherwise vote
wrong the opportunity not to do so. The
| larger the contribution of Democratic
votes to defeat the Chicago nominees. the
better in the end for the usefulness of the
party.
