The Scramble For Office.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, in an
interview with a newspaper CORE
spondent few days ago, emphasized
very strongly the position of the
Democratic leaders and candidates
for office in this county-thati is, their
readiness to adopt any subterfuge of
a platform that may bring them vic
tory. These men are firm advocates
of the 16 to idea, but they realize
the hopelessness of winning the battle
in this county this or any other year
with the financial question the lead
ing issue.
Like good Democratic politicians
and office seekers, they are willing to
sacrifice their principles and man
hood and hide from sight the poor
old battered plank which was so
badly ripped up in 1896, and to bury
their principles for the sake of the
'loaves and fishes that are appar-
emily in sight. These men hold views
so similar to that of Senator Morgan,
it might prove interesting to repeat
that portion of his interview which
explains his idea, as we'll as that of
the local statesmen now controlling
the Sehuylkill Democracy, as to how
future campaigns should be con
Quoted from their standpoint:
sin my opinion, we should nomin-
ate a man who would be willing to
say to his party something like this
When my party is able, in Congress,
to pass a free coinage bill, l will not
veto it, but will permit it to become a
law. Whatever my opinions may be,
believe the combined wisdom of the
men Of my own party in Congress is
better than mine. 1t might be pos
sible that l should not, personally,
think free coinage law the proper
thing TO enact, but if your Represen-
tatives in Congress believe otherwise,
if it is your judgment that such law
will be for the best interests Of the
country, such a law, when enacted
by you will stand a man who will
make such an announcement and
live up to it could easily, ] am sure,
be elected by the Democrats to the
Presidential office"
The gentlemen who now control
the Democratic organization in this
county and who dictate the nomina
tions, may think the voters of thai
party are short of memory, but they
will find that this bold attempt to de
ceive them will only make the defeat
of the marty more crushing in Noyem
Der. Far better for them to assume
the boldness Of Bryan, their leader
and make an honest fight along the
lines of their convictions, than at
tempt to secure the offices by the
skulking methods of the Indian.
Ia the light of recent events the
Schuylkill county Democrat seeking
Office is not supposed to have convic
tions, nor an opinion that he dare
express publicly.

WEALTHY MAN TRIES MURDER.
Misfit Bullets Evidently Prevented On
Awful Domestic Tragedy.

Misft Bullets Evidently Prevented an
Awful Domestic Tragedy.
Marion, Ind, July Thames b.
Crosby, a wealthy manufacturer of
Marion, attempted to shoot his wife
and family yesterday. Mr.. and Mrs.
Crosby had domestic trouble, and sep
arated last January. Previous to the
separation Crosby had transferred to
his wife stock in the Crosby paper
mills and the Marion strawboard mills,
which are both owned by him, that he
might better fight the American straw
board trust After defeating the trust
he demanded the return of his stock,
but his wife refused to surrender it.
He visited his wife's home yester-
day while she and her six children
were eating their dinner and again de-
manded the stock. She refused, and he
pointed a revolver at her and pulled
the trigger. The cartridge failed to
explode and he tried the second. Mrs.
Crosby ran from the house. A son
about Is years old attempted to strike
his father with a chair and the father
attempted to shoot him, but the re-
volver was a center fire and the cart
ridges were rim fire, preventing a
tragedy. The son secured two re-
volvers and pursued his father down
the street, but was caught and held by
a neighbor.
Crosby was arrested and given
preliminary hearing and placed under
a heavy peace bond. A board to ex-
anime into his sanity will be ap-
pointed.

blowers at Bridgeton, NJ j., which
were adopted at Saturdays session of
the Bottle Blowers Association of
America, now in session in this city,
were given to the public yesterday.
The resolutions declare that the strike
is justified and was provoked by the
manufacturers, who brought it on with
the intention of gaining public senti-
ment. The convention affirmed the
rights for which the strikers are con-
tending and pledged themselves to sup

at the Hotel Metropole yesterday af-
ternoOn. The Englishmen came from

ent were Joseph b. Morrison, Charles

on behald of the Americans, and c.
N. Jackson, T. C. Vassall and A. Hun
ter, en- behalf of the home team.
The meeting proved most satisfac-
tory the greatest good feeling being
displayed on both sides. The status
of Burke and Quinlan, of the Arne. ican
team, charged with professionalism,
was roughly discussed, and the con-
clusion arrived at was that no
objection TO them would hold for a
moment. Mr. Jackson was very en-
phatic in denouncing the English
newspapers that originated the con-
troversy. He asked the American cor
respondents to make It plain that
neither he nor his colleagues would in
rAy circumstances have considered any
objection to either Quinlan or Burke
The fact that these gentlemen, Mr..
Wendell and his fellow committeeman,
who are of such high standing in
amateur athletics vouch for them, is
entirely sufficient" said Mr.. Jackson,
'and IL any objection should be raised
again to either. It will not proceed
from the Oxford-Cambridge officials
and will not have the sympathy of Ok
ford or Cambridge men,"
