faith in the intelligence and loyalty Of

three miles away.
-Four persons were wounded. one of

restaurantkeeper, was arrested and

shooting Sheriff Nichols, who was
slightly wounded in the exchange of
shots between the mob and the au-
thorit1es who were protecting the
trembling prisoner in the jail.
Gathers at Noon.
Beginning about noon, the crowd,
sullen and bent on vengeance on the
negro, roamed about the court house
square.
News of the assault upon Miss
Dempsey spread to surrounding mill
towns and factories, and operatives
poured into the city n large numbers
b moi talked of blowing up the iail
with dynamite.
A hundred regulation army rifles,
p~rotruding from win lows, doors and
pcrches of the building presented a
formidable proposition for the consid-

NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC PLAT
FORM.
New York World Says 1t Is Framed
In the Interests of PIutocracy.
(From the New York World.)

In the Interests OF PlutOcracy.
(From the New York World.)
Mr.. Mack must share the amazement
Of the World over a pretended Demo
cratic platform which, while reiterat-
ing Its abiding faith in the princi-
pies of Democracy as against plutocra-
cy," is framed in the interests of the
very ~plutocracy 1t processes to de-
nource.
1t is q platform for the protection
of Wall street gamblers; for the pro-
lection Of insurance criminals; for the
protection Of traction thieves; for the
protection of Ryan-Harriman stock-job-
bers; for the protection Of rich tax
dodgers; for the protection of preda-
tory corporations. 1t is a betrayal of
Democratic principles; it is a betrayal
of the Democratic party; it is a be-
trayal of the Democratic masses.
Standing before the people on such
a platform, and on such a platform
alone. no Democratic candidate could
be elected to office either in New York
or in any State north of Mason and
Dixon's line. Fortunately for the
Rochester nominees, most Of them
have public records which give the
lie to Murphy's corporation resolutions.
