Mr.. Cleveland, 1.-The great need Of the

principles. The democratic party has
been fatally disorganized but it sadly
needs rehabilitation on purely demo-
cratic lines. What is the matter with
the party? 1t has In my humble
judgment, simply wandered of after

cratic voters saw this before the last
election They remained quiet but
when the time came to vote they said:
This is not democracy and refused to

of democrats everywhere to aid in
the rehabilitation Of the party. With
a sincere return to its Old-time doc
trines the old-time victories OF the

Gates that the cause Of the disaster
was primarily due to taking an IN
usual course into the coaling station
at Union bay. EncOuntering a fierce
southeast gale while steaming up the
strait, the captain decided to take
what is known as the inside passage
to Union bay and did not perceive the
lighthouse and, suddenly, before a
voice Of warning from her lookout or
forward watch was heard she ran her
bow high up amidst the rocky reefs
surrounding the island. PlueEy sea
men volunteered to swim ashore with
lines and three were thus made fast
to the island. By means Of these
some p members Of the crew were
landed on the small surface Of Yellow
rock, but the captain, engineers and
others who were later drowned de-
cided to stand by their vessel and en-
deaVor to prevent her from becoming
a total wreck. Their efforts resulted
only IN the sacrifice Of their lives.
