Baltimore. Nd. April 90.-Two bic East
Indian leopards leaped out Of a cage into
the audience at the Zoo, a permanent
circus on North avenue. tonight. causing
a wild stampede for the doors.
Nine. Loe had six Ieopards doing tricks
in steel cage that stands in the center
Of the main floor. The cage is circular,
and contains platform. The bars rise
TO a height Of two stories and then turn
inward the cage having no roof.
The audience ON the first floor was in
seats eneircling the cage. Galleries which
encircle the cage were also filed with on
lockers. The leopards were posing in
different attitudes. when one Of them
refused TO 90 his trick. Nine. Loe prodded
the beast to urge it on. It responded by
leaping upward from the platform 10
height Of fifteen feet, It cleared the top
of the bars and kept on toward the edge
Of the gallery.
Lands on small boy.
The beast landed on the head Of Louis
sloan. aged thirteen years. tearing the
flesh of one side OF his face 70 the bone.
AS soon as the first leopard had landed
il the gallery, a second one made the
leap upward and dropped into the au-
dienee.
Pandemonium Teigned ar once. ard
there was a wild rush for the door.
Before many could escape. Police Ser
geant Banauguer locked the doors lead
ing out the gallery TO a narrow stairway,
thus preventing a loss of life. The police
also locked a door leading up to the third
floor, where there is a skating rink and
90 hundred persons we're WhtrliHg around

Audience i'm a Panic.
Men. women. and children were soon
shouting and crg55g. and women became
hysterical They beat against the doors
with their fists, l1t TO no avail. During
the height Of ts excitement the two
/ 1eopsrds were moving in and ont among
the people, who ere fleeing and then re-
doubling on their own footsteps.
The ieopards worked their way through
the shrieking crowd toward one end Of
the gallery into a dressing-roOm, with the
keepers at their heels.
The door Of the room was quickly shut,
after which cages were brought and the
animals enticed into them. Then the ex-
its to the streets were opened. The crowd
rushed out and tried to collect its nerves.
They were told the show would be re-
sumed. but not person returned, and

ness interests of the country. partly afected by the fear of Greeley ad- ministratIon. and partly angry because Greeley was attacking Wall Streeet financial methods, rose up for Grant Money went Into the campaign as 1t had never gone before The october elections correctly forecast the re- suit.
 General Grant had been renomina ted at Philadelphia In June. with Henry Wilson of Massachusetts as running mate. It was remarked that neither candidate on the Republican ticket was known by his true name. Grant was Hiram Ulysses Grant until he went to West Pointa where, by cier- ical error. his name was entered as Ulysses s. Grant. He accepted the new name made the ''S" stand for simpson" and used it always there after. Henry Wilson, the candidate for Vice President. known as the "Natick Cobbler," was really Jeremiah Goliath. When he was a cobbler he studied oratory and politics. He so greatly admired the speeches of Rep resentative Wilson of New Kempshire that he adopted his name and carried it until his death.
 A few days before the election, Hor- ace Greeleys wife died. He had been at her bedside day and night for weeks, and he was exhausted from loss of sleep, and broken h earted over her death. Then the election came The Greeley ticket carried but seven States and was ingloriously defeated Three days after the election the strain became greater than the old man could bear. and the great Horace Greeley was taken to private asylum in

The Presidential campaign of is72 resulted in a tragedy--the insanity and death of Horace Greeley. It took the organization of the Republican party out of the hands of the man wha had founded 1t and turned 1t over to an- other group of Republicans, in whose control 1t remained uhtil after the rise of Roosevelt. It added to the lexicon of Democratic party historians the phrase ..the Greeley fiasco." And, more important than all. 1t marked the beginning of the end of the political party organ newspapers. and was re- sponsible for an independent press. In view of the importance to the Ataer- ican press of the movement led by Greeley in that year, 1t Is remarka- ble that the most conspicuous exam pie of the survival of the party organ in the country Is The New York Tri- bune, which Greeley founded and with which he made the Republican party.
 The Liberal Republican movement of 1S71-2 was the most considerable de- lection the Republican party has sui fered since It's organization. It's ef- feet on the party was not disastrous. but it carried into the Democratic par ty many of the men who were most prominent in the early days of Repub- 1icanism. It Is remarkable fact that more than LWO-In1fuS CI LnS uicn piOth- inent in the Republican conventions of 1856 and 1860 died Democrats, or Independents.
 Even more remarkable is the fact that this great defection from Repub- lican ranks was the result of move ment headed by Clement vallandigham of Ohio. Vallandigham was the arch copperhead of the whole North. was arrested by General Burnside and ban ished to the Confederate States of America. and was execrated by every loyaiist north of Mason and Dixon's line. Yet 1t was this same vallandig- ham who, in 1871, in the famous Day. ton platform. declared for the unifica- ton of all clements opposed to Grant on the basis of complete acceptance of the results of the was. the reconstruc- tion policy, the amendments to the Constitution and so on. So radically did this policy differ from that formal ly held by Northern Democrats that the VaiIandisham movement was called "The New Departure"
 The Democratic press, headed by The Missouri Republican. now The St, Louis Republic. and The Louisville urier-Journal. broke away from con- ventional moorings and hailed the "New Departure" as the political sal yatfon of the land. The vafIandigliam origin of the movement was lost sight of and Editor Grosvenor of St. Louis and Editor watterson of Louisville be-

Helper. of North Carolina. the premier Southern abolitionists and Republicans, followde the new departure" The movement was crystaiiixed by the merging of party lines in Missouri in an effort to gain complete amnesty for Confed- crate soldiers in that State. The Mis- souri leaders issued a call for a na- tionai convention to meet at Cincin- nati.
 When the Liberal Republican" na- tional convention met at Cincinnati on May l, the country believed 1t faced political crisis. The personnel of the convention was extremely able. Few political gatherings in the history of the country showed so many famous names on the roster. Carl Schurz was permanent chairman and he made the speech of party revolution. The lead ing candidate at first was Charles Francis Adams. of Massachusetts. Next to him was Mir. Greeley and then Ly- man Trumbull. of Illinois. B. Grantz Brown, of Missouri. David Davis, of Illinois. Andrew c. Curtin. of Pennsyl- vania, and the perennial Salmon P. Chase.
 Greeley was nominated on the sixth ballot and B. Gratz Brown, of Mis- rouri. was chosen for second place on the ticket Greeley was the founder and editor of The Tribune and the most eminent newspaper man In the coun- try. Brown had risen to prominence as the editor of The St. Louis Demo- crat, since consolidated with The Globe to form The Globe Democrat. It Is the only instance that a national ticket was named composed exclusively of journalists. The nearest approach to

 Newspapers of great influence rallied to Greeiey's support.

Henery Watterson. today the only sur vivor of that era of journalistic giants. was in the very thick of the battle for Greeley and reform. AL exander K. Mcclure, still living. but no longer an active journalist; Murat halstead of The Cincinnati Commer- cial, samuel Bowles of The Spring field Republican. Horace White of The Chicago Tribune, Frank Leslie and scores of others were declaring the election of Greeley and the defeat of Grant necessary to save the Republic. So bitter was the denunciation of Grants administration that the press did not hesitate to take up Jere Black1 statement that no tyranny was so bad as that of republic thoroughly rotten"
 The Democrats met in Baltimore on July g. Thomas Jefferson Randolph. grandson of the founder of the party. was chairman. The Cincinnati Lib- eral Republican platform was adopted without the change of a word. and Greeley and Brown. were endorsed and nominated as the regular Democratic candidates. Tn omas Fl Bayard of Delaware and Daniel w. Voorhees, of Indiana voiced a feeble protest. but fin vain. The politicians believed that 1t was the golden opportunity to kill the Republican organzaton. and they sezed 1t.
 Horace Greeley formally accepted the Democratc nomination. Greeley, who had hated Jackson, despised Van Blu ren, scorned Polk. damned Pierce and Buchanan and Douglas: Greeley, the abolitionist, Greeley. the protection list: Greeley. the prohibitionist; Gree ley, the woman's suffragist; Horace Greeley was the candidate of the Dem ocratic party for President! But Dem- ocrats all over the Union remembered the bitter things Greeley had said about them. The Republican orators . helped them to remember. They did not remember to vote.
 Tn July, or perhaps as late as Au- gust, it seemed certain that the Dem ocratic- Liberal coalition would sweep the country. Many men believed the wave would not have receded if Adams or Davis had been at the head of the ticket. But Greeley was simple as a child in practical politics, how ever able and profound he was in tn e. ory. No greater campaign speech es neve ever been delivered than hose made by Greeley on the stump in 1872. As he denounced slavery in the South In the name of humanity. he now de- nounced carpet-bagism for the same reason. As he had denounced the po- litieal corruption of the slave oligarchy before the war, he now denounced the money corruption that was beginning its long reign.
 Suddenly a shiver of fear and dis trust swept over the country. Would Greeley. who had been unable to keep his own newspaper. be able to conduct business administration Would Greeley. who was the dupe of every sharper who got to him, be any better than Grant in selecting advisers. What was his financial policy? The busi-
