A Grewsomo Find.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 26.-The badly
decomposed body of an unknown man
was found to-day in trunk bought at
an auction in Wakum & Mclaugh-
Inns warehouse at 504 North Water
street. The auction was the regular
disposal of unredeemed property and
many curious purchasers were on
hand. The sale was almost over when
a large rough box was dragged out
and offered. Bids were made and the
box was knocked down to two men
from the suburb of Austin. 1nGds
was a square trunk which was broken
open and grewsome sight was dis
closed. The trunk contained the bad.
ly decomposed body of a man without
any Identification. As soon as the dis.
covery was made the men commenced
to search for something that would
indicate where the box had come from
or by whom it had been owned. On
the top was written "G. NJ. Morgan,
116 Jefferson Court, Chicago" Moth
ing else was found to establish former
owership. A member of the ware
house firm said tonight that the box
was sent to them by the Michigan
Central railroad.

stagger out of the building. The
bodies of Eherent and Gallagher,

Stem the Tide.

Cleveland Vsinly Believes That He Gan
Stem the Tide.
WASHINGTON. March 26.-The state
ment in The World today that Pres
ident Cleveland had it in his power to
use the Cuban situation to secure an
other nomination is being gravely con-
sidered in Washington. 1t is known
that the President is personally tired
of the burdens of Office, and that he
has contemplated a letter declining an.
other namination. On the other hand
Mrs. Cleveland likes her position, is
in excellent health and has great in
fuence with her husband. To remain
another four years in the White House
would be regarded by him as a sac
ri6ce to be made only for the attain
ment of an important national object.
1t was announced exclusively in
The World last November that Mr..
Whitney had urged the President not
to declare himself out of the field, but
to hold himself in position to serve the
party and the country.
President Cleveland is believed to
be favorable to the annexation of
Cuba, but his eye is mainly centred
on the establishment of the national
finances on thoroughly sound basis.
He has recently been approached by
sound-money Democrats with the de-
claration that present indications point
to the control of the Chicago Conven-
ton by the free silver wing of the
Democracy, who confidently figure on
not less than 600 delegates out of $50.
No sound-money candidate is in
sight to stem the tide. He alone has
the strength, the personal following
and the courage to face the situation
and compel different result. Secre'
tary Olney is not sufficiently identified
with party policies, Secretary Carlisle
is too vulnerable, Col. Morrison too
doubtful and Mr.. Whitney positively
declines.
President Cleveland is considering
this matter very seriously. The sug'
gestion that the Democratic party is
to be controlled by free silver acts on
Mr.. Cleveland as red flag on bull.
Could he see his election reasonably
sure, he would run again. rather than
allow such a catastrophe befall the
party which has three times honored
him. If Gov. Mckinley is to be nom,
mated at st. Louis on a high tariff
platform with financial straddle,
President Cleveland believes that the
Democracy will stand good prospect
of winning on a revenue tariff and
sound-money platform. A free State
bank plank would be used as sop to
hold the Southern States in line and
neutralize a free. silver detection. All
this is, of course, still in embryo and
unsettled, but it is certain that Presi-
dent Cleveland has not definitely de-
cided to leave the field.

An Unsual Suit.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 23.-Miss
Kitty f. Smith has filed very un-
usual claim against the estate of AL
fred J. Hill, who died last June and
whose estate is now undergoing pro-
bate in the county. Miss Smith was
the fiance of Hill and bases her claims
on that fact, demanding 5000 for ex-
penses incurred in preparation for
marriage, 81, 900 for resigning her posi-
ton before marriage and $4,000 said
to have been promised by Hill in con-
sideration of the marriage. The es-
tate is valued at $65,000

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 23.-The
Democratic State Executive Committee
today decided to hold one State con;
vention to nominate State officers and
delegates to the national convention,
the gathering to meet at Nashville,

plan was advocated by the silver men,
headed by Senator Harris, and Con-

cut. The masses never are capable of
studying more than one great question
at time, and in proportion as they
are distracted by contending ideas just
so are they divided and defeated.
If we fail to get the National Con-
vention to give us platform of the
character outlined and loyal candi-
date on it we should withdraw. Why2
Because in the present condition of the
Democratic party in the United States
there is absolute antagonism
of purpose and feeling existing be-
tween the two wings. The difference
is as great as between Democracy and
Republicanism. 1t is just as pronounc-
ed, as irreconcilable, as bitter as the
feeling which existed at the Charles
ton Convention in 1860. The struggle
then Was for the extension of slavery
in the Territories, and the party split

dldates. Now the issue is wheather
money or the people shall rule. As I
see it, it is bound to split again when
it meets in convention. Even
though, to quote the language falsely
attributed to Mr.. Latimer, the gold
bugs are disposed to deal fairly
with the silver men and to put up a
ticket to represent both factions" This
is an impossibility. No fair dealing
can be expected from the men who
foisted on us the silver plank in the
last national platform, No fair deal
ing can be expected of those Eastern
Democrats so called who in the face of
the pledge sustained the President in
repeating the purchasing clause of the
Sherman Act
The differences are irreconcilable,
the conflict is irrepressible, and all
true Democrats must resolve to stand
by the principles of Jefferson and
jackson, or expect to see the party ut

therefore, a mistake for me to call at
tention to them, little need be said.
Their argument recognizes no time or
circumstances when it is proper for a
faithful member of political party to
expose and condemn the faults and
vices which develop in every party.
This precept is false one and has
never been needed by meu in polltl-
cal life of forty years Whatever may
be said in favor of such restraint dur
ing the heat of political canvass,
after the nominations are made there
ought not to be two opinions on this
question. whether at all other times
faithful Republicans should detect and
make public, correct and destroy dis
honest methods which may be growing
up in the organization, and which, if
kept concealed through false notion
of party fidelity, will soon bring the
party TO destruction.
THAT there is no way to keep a
party pure and honest in its practices
except by defeat at the polls is an un-
wise opinion. 1t should be so kept,
and also kept in power, by the con-
stant efforts of its true and courageous
members to condemn and crush out in
their inception all habits and practices
which tend to the degradation and dis
honor of the political organization.
The Republican party is about to
be returned, if it acts wisely to over
whelming political power in this scoun-
try. The party should begin its new
career sustained by high principles
and free from corrupt practices. 1t
will be a fatal mistake, soon to be
grievously punished, if we make dis
honest start. New York Times.

HEROES OF THE FRONTIER

Chicago, March 6.-The report that
General Wesley Merritt, commander of
the department of the Missouri, has
been summoned to Washington for a
conference with the president and his
advisers on a secret mission of import
ance. is believed by army men in this
city to be true. AT army headquarters
it is said hat President Cleveland con-
templates sending a military commits
sion to Cuba to examine into the condi-
ton Of affairs on the island, and it is
surmised that General Merritt is to be
%intrusted with the leadership of the
commission. No member of General
Merritt's staff, however, is willing to
be quoted in the matter. as the secrecy
that is being observed at Washington
~enjoins silence.
The president, it is said, favors the
idea of 4 commission to Cuba to report
on the condition of affairs there.
Besides General Merritt, several 9TH
er high officials of the army have been
suddenly summoned to Washington. 1t
is also possible that they are to con-
suit with the president and secretary
of war as to the best means of mobil-
izing the United States in the event of
war.
