The Gladstone party achieved a great victory ou Saturday Ia3t at the election In the Norwich division of Cheshire county, England, to nil a vacancy caus d by the death of the anti-Gladstone member. At the la?t election the GlaJ toneites were defeated by a majority of 4. bat on Saturday their candidate, .Mr. Ilrunner, was elected by a majority of 1,12'..

The Alliiitowii Cu tulit'ii. There is not, so far as we know, a Democratic piper in the State that does not favor the adoption of a resolution by the Slate Convention which will meet at Ailentown on the 31st instant, endorsing in emphatic terms the admin isaation of J'rcbident Cleveland. It cju'd not well be otherwise in view of the u?.s-llish devotion hi has shown to tho discharge of the duties of his high cilice, as well as the acknowledged abili ty and integrity he has displayed in ad- ministern.jr the affairs of the uovern- j ment. No man questions Mr. Cleve land's honesty or doubts his patriotic deteiminatiou to take care that the lie public shall receive no detriment during the tour years for which he was chosen by the people to bo their Chief Magis trate. More than two virs and a half of that time have expired and so well and satisfactorily has he executed the weighty trust reposed in him that his renemmation, if he lives, is a matter of absolute certainty. The name of no other man as a candidate against him before the National Convention next year is now seriously thought ot or men tijued. Should the Ailentown Conven tion, therefore, be content with an endorat mjnt of his adiniuisf ration, or should it not In addition thereto formal ly and in distinct terms express itseif 'n favor of his renomination ? Our well settled conviction is that it should. It may bs said that this would be prema ture and that the appropriate time for such a?ti.m will bo next year. Judging, however, fr.-ni the tone of Iemocratic sentiment throughout the State which is not at all likely to undergo any change before the meitiDg of the National Con vention, why should r.ot that be done !. ny u.e Democrats or t.iis :a;e which is certain to be done by the De mocracy of .r.'Z the States in Convention fcenibled in iS. It is true that the Democrats of IVnusylvania may not be able to give Mr. Cleveland her electoral vote, but for all that, their voice is still poteut with the Democracy of the Union. The Ailentown Convention ought, there fore, in our judgement to have the cour age of its well settled convictions and in the platform it will adopt plant itself sparely in favor of Mr. Cleveland's renomination. William I. Haut, who was nomin ated for S'.ate Treasurer by Quay's Con vention at Harrisburg on 'Wednesday, has rendered himseif ameuable to the laws agaiLst corrupting nominating Con ventions. The Philadelphia papers of Sunday last announced that the delegates from that city to the State Convention had each rectived a circular letter "with the compliments of William 15. Hart," and a railroad ticket to Harrisburg and return. Iu regard to this bold and im prudent defiance of the Constitution the 7iV' or7 of that city says : "Apart from the indelicacy "f such a proceeding, the Constitution of Pennsylvania prescribes an oath for every State otlicial, who be fore entering upon his duties must swear that he has not given or promised any money or K't,tUtr rnlwihlc Ihimja'" for the sake of securing his nomination or elec tion. If it be true that Captain Hart lias be?n makiLg a general distribution of railroad passes among tie delegates to the Convention charged with nomi nating a S'.ate Treasurer he has made his candidacy for that position impossi ble." The Sheriffs elected In two or three counties of the State have been prosecuted and turned out of office for doing iu an other way just what Hart is charged with haying done. He has made no denial of the charge and if he is elected he may have a peck of trouble ia getting possession of the office. Ai:.i!r.iMiop Choke, of Cashel, Ire land, has s'.nt by the Itev. V. J. Mac Donnell, of Chicago, to Father "iordan, of C-istie (larden. New York, two fligs made ot Irish poplin and embroidered by the nuns of th-j convent at Cashel. The staves are of Irish ash, and both were blessed in the form prescr.bnl by the Csth-.dic Church. The Archbishop writes that one of the two is the Ameri can national f! ur for presentatioa to the s:xty-n'uth Ileginw ru of the New York National Guard. This is the first offer ing of the kind ever made by an Irish prelate to an American regiment. The other is the green tlag of Ireland, with the harp and suu, surmounted by the words 'Ki in-go-Uragh," inscribed in Celtic letters.

The VTar Department received a telegram last week from the Governor cf Colorado announcing the uprising of ) the White Iliver Utes, rear Meeker, i Col., and asking the assistance of tho i Tinted States troops in suppressing it. j j The telegram has been forwarded to j Genera!

There are plenty of troops just north and south of Meeker, and they can be utilized on short notice. The I'tes are regarded as a dangerous trite, aud an uprising among them may prove serious unless promptly sup pressed. The Kepublican State Convention which met at Harrisburg on last Wed nesday was run precisely according to the schedule prepared for it weeks ago hy 'iay. and j the outcome was. of of rours. ti e nomination of Henry W.

Terrible Loss of Life. Chicago, Aug. 12. A Chicago Times special from Forest. III., says : AH the railroads horrors in the history of this country were surpassed three miles east of Chatsworth last night, when an ex cursion train on the Toledo, lVoria and Western road dropped through a burn ing bridge and over one hundred people were killed and four times that number were more or less badly injured. The train was composed of six sleeping cars, six day coaches and chair cars, and three baggage cars. It was earring tx'.O pas sengers, all excursionists, and was bound for Niagara Falls. The train bad been made up all along the linjof the Toledo. lVoria and Western road and the excur sionists hailed from various points in central Illinois, the bulk of them, how ever, coming from Peoria. Some of the passengers came from Canton. Elpaso, Washington and, in fact, all stations along the line ; some from as far west as .Burlington and Keokuk, Iowa. A special and cheap rate had beeu made for the excursion and all sorts of people took advantage of it. When the train drew out of Peoria al S o'clock last eve ning, :t was loaded to its utmost capaci ty. Every berth in the six sleepers was taken, and the day cars carried sixty people each. The train v.as so heavy that two engines were required to haul it. Three miles east of Chatsworth is a little slough where the railroad crosses a dry run about ten feet deep and fifteen feet wide. Over this was stretchea an ordinary trestle bridge, and as the ex cursion train'came thundering down to it the first engineer was horrified at see ing that this bridge was on fiie. There was no chance to stop. The first engine passed over In saftty, but tha bridge broke under the great weight, and tho second engine and cars crashed through with their human freight. The cars were piled on top of one another in great confusion. Oa top of the engine were three baggage cars and crashing into them came six coacheH, only the six sleeping cars escaped. Every passenger in the front car was lying dead or dting, a'id ot those in the special car but four peop'ecame out alive. The third car lay on top of the second with many vic tims inside. The other three cars wexe not so badly crushed, but many ct the occupants were killed or maimed by the broken and twisted s-ats and timbers. Instantly the air was filled with the cries of the wounded nd the shrieks of the dying. Tnere was another danger yet to be met. The bridge was still burning and the flames lapped over and around the wrecked cars, and to fight the fire there was not a drop of water and only some fifty able bodied men who had escaped unhurt to assist input ting out the hie and helping the injured aud avine. The earth was the only weapon to fiht the Cre and for four bouts the fifty men fought like fiends to crush the tire with handsfull of earth. The aecidenc occurred a few minutes before midnight aud at nearly 4 o'clock the vtctory was won and the Cre was put out before the sun rose on the scene of the horror. Help then began to arrive from the reighboring towns and the work of removing the victims from the wreck proceeded more rapid. As the dead were laid reverently alongside of each other out on the cornfield there were ready hands to take them into Chatsworth, while some of the wounded were carriod to Piper City. One huo dren and eighteen was the awful poll of the dead, while the wouuded number four times that many. A full tally of the dead cannot, however, be told for days Chatsworth was turned into a moreue to-Ky. The town hall, engine ho'ise, and depot were all full of dead bodies while eveiy house in the little viliage had its quota oT. the wounded. There were over one bundled corpses laving in the extemporized dead houses aud every man pnd woman was turned into an umateur tut zealous nurse. Over in the lumber yard the noise of hammers and saws raig out in the air, and busy carpenters were making rough coilins to carry to their homes the dead hodit-s of the excursionists who twelve houis before had left their homes full of i pleasurable exudations of enjoyment they were going to have during the va- ca'ion which had just begun. To add to the horror of the terrible ; catastrophe a suspicion exists, and there are many who give it credetic, that the accident was a deliberately planned case of train-wrecking for the purpose of robbery. Whether planned or not, it is a truthful fact that the dead and dying were robbed of watche?, jewelry and money as they lay in the wrecked cars. Even when tho dead todies were laid in the cornfield these fienda turned them over in their search for valuables. Who these guerrilas were is not known, but that plundering was done by an organ ized gang is believed, from the fact that sixteen empty purses were found in a heap this morning in the cornfield. What lse It Mill Do. Tha .S proclaims that "the repeal of the internal revenue will abolish the surplus." So it would, liut it would do several other things as well. The repeal of the internal-revenue system would show to the people that the Democratic party has so radically changed its principles and its sympathies as to exempt luxuries and indulgences from taxation and leave the burden on necessaries. It would relieve whisky of a tax paid by manufacturers ar.d dealers, too small to be subdivided among consumers, aud leave a tax or 2 cents a pound on sugar, 12 cents a hundred on salt, 2j cents per pound on rice, 07 p?r cent, on woolen clothing, o-'t per cent, on earthenware aud china. CI to 100 percent, on window glass and l!7 per cent, on iron and steel manufactures all paid by the consum ers of thvse articles. In other words, the rtpea! of the internal-revenue taxes would relieve a small and money-making class from taxation iu order to retain war imposts oa articles required and used by every mn, woman aud child in the Uuited States. It would peipetuate the war tariff, and that is the animating purpose of those who favor it. If this be Demo cracy, there seems to be no good reason why the Iiepuhlicans should not be called back to administer the system which they built up and have stoutly defended in the interest of monopolies.

'With the exception of two or three helpless women, and perhaps the same number of crippled soldiers," said Sen ator Vooihees, "I tave asked for the retention of no one in any position at Washington, or anywhere else who did not oiealy belong t3 the Democratic church." "You believe, then, that to the vic tors beloLg the spoils ?" I do, most empnatically. Honest men labor for party victory because they believe the principles of their party are light, and if in the ascendant, will make the government better and the people happier. After securing the tri umph of their principles at the polls who would expect them to leave the execution of those principles to their enemies ? Such a suggestion can only emanate from party imbecility and po litical dementia. The more 1 have thought on the subject the stronger have become my convictions that Jefferson and Jackson were good Democrsta. wise statesmen and knew they were acting for the best interests of the country when they turned their political oppo nents out of office." "What do you think of Cleveland's course on that point ?" "Cleveland had an awful job befoie him w hen be went into office. He had a body politic to deal with which was filled saturated, I may say from head to foot with the virulent poison of the Republican party. For 24 years this partisan blood -ioisoning of the govern ment had been going on and nobody but J a quack doctor would expect a complete cure in such a case in a single day, or a single year, or perhaps a single adminis tarlion. liut it you think cothing has Deen done to eliminate llepub.lican par tisan poison from onr political system, suppose you cast your mind's eye around over Indiana and see how many Repub lican office-holders you can find iu this great commonwealth. There ia but one Presidential post-office in the State which 1 can think of at this moment where a change has not been made, and if there is a fourth class postoffice in the State not filled by a Democrat it is be cause r.o Democrat has been found will ing to take it. I have in my office also a list of about l-0 young Indiana Demo, crals who have been appointed postal clerks in the railway mail service. It is time that the list ought to be longer, and I am laboring every day of my life to make it so. but it is a pretty good one as It is. Collectors of internal revenue. United States marshals and the district attorneys, with all their subordinates in the State, will be found to believe in the wholesome doctrine that those who car ry elections shall fill the offices. In the wide and important field of pension work it will also be seen that Democrats are found worthy of employment in every branch of the service. "These are some of the fruits which have been gathered in Indiana. I do not say the harvest is complete, but we have not been entirely idle. More will follow. There aie some partisan lie publican people in office at Washington, but sooner or latT they will go. They would go now if I could have things my own way, but this is a world of conces sions and we are called on every day to make allowances for the conduct of our friends which in every particular we do cot approve of." Indianajjolis Inter jieic. The President's Tour. President Cleveland's route has been determined on in a general way, and it is announced by authority from the White House he will leave Washington the last week of September and go di rectly to St. Eouis, probably by way of Indianapolis. He will spend two days al St. Eouis and go from there to Chi cago, Milwaukee, Madison, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Memphis, Nashville aud Atlanta, reaching the latter place in time to meet his eugag ments for October IS. According to this program, the President will prob ably strike the South at Memphis, and go thence to Nashville and Atlanta, re turning north through South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. His route will take him through fifteen or twenty States. He will see and be seen by more of the American people than nas heretofore fallen to the lot of any President on an excursion through the country. There is always a strong desire among the American people to see a President, and this is heightened when his course has attracted personal interest and con fidence, which is true of Mr. Cleveland. llfirr's Weekly this week in the course of au article on the President's tour says : "The journey of the Presdent. at the time when many Republicans are trying hard to arouse the bitterness of section al feelir g aud to control politics by the passions of the war. will present a' sug gestive contract. He represents the new Union of common interests and purposes and desires, and among them the speediest practicable dismissal of the controversies of the old Union. He represents the desire of the country for tranquil and honest government, watch ed, as he says of himself, with ascru tiny to which no recent President baa been submitted. He represents the epoch of happy transition from the old to the new, and the general feeling of good-will which is the prevailing senti ment of the country. It is unfortunate that the contrast should be invoked be tween the significance of such a repre sentative and that of the sectional effort. Practically those who lead that effort assert that the Tiesident is going into the Southern States to propitiate the rebels, that he betrayed bis sympathy with treason ard rebellion ly the order to return the rebel flags, thai he has called rebels into bis cabinet, and that he knows that be must owe hs re-election to the votes of rebels. This is wretched business from intelligent Re publicans. Not one such man who re sorts to scxh desperate appeals believes that the President is a rebel, or consorts with rebels, or has any rrore sympathy with rebellion than General Sheridan, or Mr. Blaine or Governor Foraker. Of the two. which will seem to a thoughtful American the surer guaran tee of national peace and prosperity, the spirit which the President will repre sent in his tour, or that of those who make a national issue of the flag order V" A Wouiid'h IMaeovery.
