Not All Like Morgan.

When you get down to business and
ask what the presidents opponents
intend to do to defeat his nomination
and election they will tell you first
that the Republican national commit
tee will not be able to collect any
funds In business circles, and, second,
that the railroad influence through
out the country will be used against
him. Details are not given, but on
ly the general threat that unless he
mends his ways and shows a different
disposition toward the money inter-
ests" and business interests" OF the
country the railway kings will organ
ize their employees against him.
According to the census there are
5S0,472 men employed upon the var
ious transportation lines in this coun-
try, including steamers as we'll as rail
ways. and, of course, 1t would be a
tremendous force IL they could all be
arrayed against the president. But,
Notwithstanding the indignation and

and supporters. They believe that

The Glorina left the northeast bar
OF Sable island yesterday afternoon,
bound for Canso. There was a heavy
easterly gale blowing with thick fog.
The vessel was kept under sail. and

believed he had plenty Of sea room.
When the Glorina struck on the
leges she passed over the outer ones
but brought up on the inner reef,
butted against a cliff of rocks and
then fell off into the ses.

boat touched the water it was smash

breaking over the vessel and she

thrown ashore from the schooner sew

en- or torn from their ~fastenings OF

but they were caught in the breakers

in the attempt. Others who were OF

The three men on the rocks coult

help above the roar Of the sea, bu
it was impossible to do anything t.
save them.
