A Ridiculous Secretary.
It la net often that Secretary of the
Navy Chandler gets n chance te defend
hlBMdf from his numerous public be
cemts, because generally it is apparent
te' him th&tsllence is his best policy. He
prang up with remarkable eagerness,
h)wevfr, te repel tne accusation or gev.
Hendricks that he had been derelict In
the matter of the peculations in the ofllce
of the chief of the medical bureau. He
thought he had a splendid chance te turn
Gov. Hendricks', accusation against the
Democracy, because he said that Surgeon
General Wales was as much of a Demo
crat as a Bepubllcan, and was moreover
receMafended for reappointment by
prominent Democratic senaters and rep
resenUtlvcs. Gov. Hendricks, however
replies te Secretary Chandler and proba
bly has satisfled him that it would still
have bem his better policy te have ltept
silent. He Is reminded that Surgeon
General Wales was responsible for the
frauds only In that they were committed
by pincers under him ; which Is
Just the same sort of responsi
bility, that attaclied te Secretary
Chandler for them, and as the secre
tary takes credit te himself for net re
appointing Surgeon General Wales, the
sitne lojrle would make it proper te
secure a new head of the navy depart
ment: which is Juat the point Governer
Hendricks was making when he referred
te the peculations in the department
under the control of its present chief.
Gov. Hendricks new says te Secretary
Chandler that It is net the fact, us he
claims, that the offences in the surgeon
general's office were discovered by his
vlgilauee. On the contrary, he cites the
testimony, te show that the secretary
was informed of what was going en a
year before it was brought te light by
Detect! ve Weed, and that he made no
attempt te investigate It. All this
appears in the secretary's own testimony
save the fact that he did net cause the
discovery of the peculation ; which
appears by the statement of Detective
Weed, who did the work. Secretary
Chandler, in trying te pe3 In the atti
tude of an honest man and a vigilant
official, makes such an unnntural effort
that the resulting position is simply
ridiculous. He is known all the land
ever te be as corrupt as men can be, and
the idea that he would have been willing
te catch aud expose these medical bureau
thieves can only be sustained upon tie
ballet that tuetr stealings were we smau i
te make them worthy of his attention 1
and participation. I
Pest the Heeks
Nothing but a miracle can new save
the Republican party, and a miraculous
intervention en behalf of that party is
hardly probable. An examination of the
arithmetic of the campaign reveals the
hopelessness of the Republican struggle.
The Democracy Btart in the race with
1 17 of the necessary 201 electoral votes
from the following states : Alabama,
Arkansas, Delaware, Flerida, Georgia,
Kentucky, .Louisiana, Maryland, Mis
sour), Mississippi, Xerth Carolina, Sunt hi
Carolina, .Tennessee, Texas and Vr
glnla. This estimate emits West Vlr
giuia, whose six votes have always been
assured te the Democracy when no dis
turblng influences clouded the lcsues
between the two parties.
Counting, hewever, but 117 certain
Democratic votes, there Is need of fit
mere te make a majority of the electoral
college Of these New Yerk will certain
ly contribute 80. Grever Cleveland, the
head of the Democratic national ticket,
carried the state In 1SS2 by Hij,S5l, and
in the year following the average Deme
emtie majority was 10 665. The
mighty disaffection in the Repub
lican ranks in New Yerk make
assurance doubly sure in this re
gard. New Jersey's nine votes may,
without risk, be added te the Democratic
column. In the presidential election of
1880 New Jersey gave a Democratic ma
jority of 2,010 ; in 1882 It gave 2.100;
and in 1883 the Democratic majority
was 0,809. There remain 0 votes te
.make up the ueceasary balance te insure
' the election of a Democratic president.
One of the combinations te till out the
requisite number would be California
and Nevada, with 8 and 3 votes re
spectively, both of which states voted
for Hancock lu 1880. Again, Indiana'
15 votes are reasonably certain te be
given le ithe Democratic electors with
her favorite son as the vlce presidential
candidate. All of these estimates take
no account of West Virginia, concern
ing 'the doubtfulness of which state,
Republicans nre prating much. The
well-informed regard it as safe as ever te
tbe Democracy, and its 0 votes, with
California's 8 or Nevnda's 3, would make
up the Democratic deficiency.
Then among the possibilities are Ohie
with her 23 votes, Wisconsin with 11
and Massachusetts with her 11 votes,
and Pennsylvania will net be abandoned
without a struggle. The outlook Indeed
could net be brighter. The vote of the
Southern states ndded te theso of New
Yerk aud New Jersey make 1U8 elee
teral votes, and the Democracy have
California, Nevada, Indiana, Ohie,
Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Mussuchu
setts te leek te or the remaining 3
votes. It Is no wonder that fur seeing
Republicans are fust reaching the con
clusion, that the hour of the party'H
downfall Is near at hand.
Hendricks te t'haniller.
Mr. William E, Chandler will dis
caver that Mr. Themas A. Hendricks is
a dangerous man te feel with. In the
campaign of 1880, Mr. Hendricks made
a Bpeech, iu which he charged that the
Bepubllcan candldate for president had
aat in the electoral cqmtulsslen In Judg
ment upon' evidence which he himself
had helped te prepare as n " visiting
Biaiesman " in xiemsiana. jur. uarueld
rushed .te the 'front, us impetuously us
Mr. Chandler has come, with a denial
of tfiocharge. -Mr. nendrlcks, returning
te It, actually flayed1- his antagonist nnd
proved indisputably that he had spoken
the truth as fully sustained by the
record.
Mr. Hendricki declared in the national
conventlon nntl In bicccIi te Ills
neighbors the ether evening, thnt in the
department of which Chhmller is the
head, $03,000 had been lately Bhewn te
have been stolen en n fraudulent
voucher, and he urged that In cases like
this, when frauds nre concocted in the
vaults or In the books of the department,
the only remedy of the people is a clmuge
of the control, se that the books and
vouchers shall ceme under thoexamina
tlen of new and disinterested men.
Chandler attempted te answer by de
claring that part of the frauds were
committed under his predecessor, and
that the head of the bureau in which
they were committed was appointed en
Democratic recommendations In part.
Mr. Hendricks very neatly answers that
it does net help the case te show that
frauds extended ever n longer period
without detection ; the essential nutter
Is that they were net discovered by the
naval department, or, it found out, the
guilty were net punished and removed,
lias Mr. Chandler or any ether gentle
man any mere questions te ask of the
Democratic candldate for vice president 'f

Ex-Governer Hendricks has written the

It appeared that the frauds ameuuted te
$03,000 aud is net every word of that
true ? Yeu were brought befere the
committee aud testified as I stated.
Yeu admitted, under oath, that the
sura of mouey lest ameuuted te 0J -000,
but your defense was that the em
bezzlemeut did net wholly occur under
your administration, but that a part of it
was uuder that of your predecessor. It
seems te have oevcred the period from
Juue, 1SS0, down te January 25, ISSi
Dees that help your case '.' Yeu were at
the head of the deputtueut a year aud
nlue mouths of that period aud your pre
decessor about oue year and teu mouths. He
was inotli:e At the payment of the tlrst
false voucher en January -1, 13S0, and up
te April 17, 183.', when you came In, and
you ceu'tuued thence uutil the last fatso
voucher was paid, January 25, 1834 Tne
period was almost equally divided between
yourself aud your predecessor. Hew
much of the 503,000 was paid out uuder
yourelf.aml hew much uuder your pre
decesser your letter does net show ; but,
sir, upon the question that I was discuss
ing, does it make any dlffercnce who was
secretary when the false vouchers were
paid .' I urge that in eases like this, when
frauds are conceotod in tbe vaults or iu
the books of tbe department, the only
remedy of the peeple is a ouange of the
control, se that the books and vouchers
shall ceme under the examination of new
and disinterested raen."
The letter gees en te point out that the
secretary was notified of these frauds last
year aud yet took no aotien and left the
accused men in office until Government
Doteetivo Weed brought the frauds te
light and they were published through the
associated pros. The excuse that Dr.
Wales' reappointment was urged by mem
bera of Congress, Mr. Hendricks says, is
no excuse.
"Members of Congress knew nothing of
the frauds, they had no opportunity te
knew. It was within your reaeh and duty.
They wero probably bis personal friends :
you were Ms oineiai superior. uut,in raci,
did you reappoint him '.' I understand net.
Perhaps the detective discovered the
frauds tee seen. But Dr. Wales was net
ene of tbe time guilty parties. He neither
forged the vouchers nor embezzled the
mouey. tils responsibility in tne oue is
just the same as your own. lie was the
official superior of the three rogues, as
you were of hinuelf, as of them. Neither
no nor yourself exposed the frauds, or
punished the parties. I have net thought
of or considered this as a case of poll Ian.
Addressing my neighbors I said that this
aud like cases admonish them te demand
civil service reform In the removal of all
from ofllce who will net scek te promote it
withiu the sphere of their official duty and
authority."

known, the Wettlithe J)it, of St. Leuis, of
which he is a large shareholder, and whose

men surrounded the jail aud demanded
the prisoner, who a few days before, bad
at'ompted te outrage a daughter of Sid
Kelly, a prominent farmer.
Toe j iller called te his wife te have his
pistols iu readineasaud refused te open the
doers of the jail. The mob then began
tlriugnud the Mriug wns returned by the
jailer aud his seu I'uetint, aged sixteen
years. They llred sixteen shot, the mob
tiring as many as one hundred. Jailer
Lucas tired from the perch ami his son
from the front windows. Twe of the
mob are reported te have been kilted, but
they were quickly cirried off. After tlriug
six shots Irem tbe perch thojulerwas
shot, the ball enteriug hi right breast

His wife took up a pistol aud tired te repel
the mob; but they crowded up stairs aud
oempolled her te give up the cell keys.
The outer deer was broken down with a
sledge hammer. Tbe mob thou took May
Irem his cell aud hanged him. The jail
was badly riddled with bullets The

Richard A. Robertsou, a practicing
physician of Oievuvllle, Mereer county,
and inventor of tin nriangenient te Improve
the line of iml protect ra'head tracks, was
in Ne Yerk en business last week.
Whlle In the effice of F. W. l)a Vel, paint
iiiautifaotiiretH, corner of Fulton and
Rltoker streets, he was miceHnd by au In.
dividual who wan represented te be K. 11.
Curtis, agent of agricultural implements
itnl real estate. Ne ngioemeut was made
aud the two septrated. ()a Thursday the
doctor nualn met Curtis, nnd they bcoauie
quite friendly. A trip te Ceuey Island wai
premised and made, aud upon theietiirn te
New Yerk city the men started for Jersey
City. Here the doctor acquainted Curtis
with the fact that he had been settling
seme pstAteit iu the interest of his (the
doctor's) sister, down east. Frem this,
Curtis ovldetitly concluded that hit com
panion ha 1 a large sum of meney upon his
person and concocted the villainous scheme
which he carried out.
Thursday night the men left Jcrf ey City
together, mid wheu the train arrived nt
Lancaster, the alleged Curtis proposed
that they should get elT, remarkitig that
the town was a quaint old oue ami very
interesting The doctor declined the
preposition saying he bad a friend In liar
risburg whom he desired te visit. Curtis
then, as the doctor supposed, get elT the
train at Lancaster, and wheu Dr. Robertsen
reached llarrisburg that night he stepped
at tbe United States hotel. Friday during
the day and nlgbt,be remained atMr. Nash's
residence, and Siturdayhe went back te
the hotel where he met Curtis again. The
latter induced the doctor te visit Mechau
ieibur. I'hey went thore aud after Cur
t is, who apparently was acquainted with
the locality, had shown the doctor around,
the latter oame baek te this city, his com
panion remaiuiug (as the doctor thought).
The next mernlug (Sunday) when the
doctor arese almost the (Irs; person he
met was Curtis.
A stroll was prope.vd and he left the L
S. hotel at U o'clock, Suuday morning, no
cempauled by Curtis, who appeared te be
extremely well educated, ami his dress and
appcarauce were very at;reeable. At the
tleslre of hiscompauieuthodootorconseut
cd te take n by street from the hotel.
This wish upeu tbe part of the stranger
suggests the Idea that he did net want
te be seen In the doctor's cetnpauy
iu a maiu street, in order that
subsequent events might uet ba preven
against him by having been observed in
cempauy with the ttoetor. As the men
walked leisurely nteug they met, some semo some
whero near the outskirts of town, nn in
dividual dressed iu dark clothe, wearing
a slouch hat aud carrying a paper package
which preved afterwards te be two small
bottles of beer. Curtis introduced the
doctor te this man " Sanders " as tbe
farmer's friend, and luvited him along,
and when tbe trio reached Schuddemage's
planing mill, aljng tbe river, near Dela
ware avenue, the party sat down along the
shere, and Sanders unwrapping tbe pack
age presented the beer. He and Curtis
drank ene bettle empty, and proffered tbe
ether te the doctor, who after much re
luctance and protestation partook of a
small portion of it. They thou resumed
their walk, when Docter Robertsou began
te feel dizzy and his eye became dim. He
proposed te return home, as he said be
could go no further and remarked :
"There's something the matter with that
beer. I never could drink beer unless it
was very oeld, aud then but little el It. I
don't feel like walking any further."
The mwu said nothing, and the doctor,
who was a short distance ahead -net mero
than a step or two turned his face toward
the river te catch the cool breeze. Just as
he was en the point of turning round ene
of the men stelo oleso up te him with the
stealthlncss u a cat, without uttering n
word. Uofero Docter Robsrsteu could
Imagine anything the click of a trigger
of a pistol, and simultaneously
came the report of the weapon
and a 33 calibre ball crushed iute the
doctor's baek between the shoulders just
bebind tbe heart. Tbe vlllian had shot te
kill, and his mark was net very wide elf.
The doctor says he then either foil or tbe
man threw him ever the bank He has an
indistinct remembrance of fcellng seme
ene rellinc him ever. When he becarae
conscious the sun was btating down en
him with terrible intensity. He orawled
along the shore for some distance, but
being unable te L'e far he fell again and re
mained nnconseious uutil llve or six o'clock.
Then be mauaged te gain the top of tbe
bank, but bis parched lips would uet
permit him te utter a word abeve his
breath. At length after untold sutTenng he
dragged himself te State stroet, where hn
met a negre, who escorted blm, at his re
quest te tbe home of Mr. Nash, at 1,002
Third street. When the horrified family
had get tbe wounded man te bed, it was
discovered that the murderous thieveshad
taken from him tl.OOO in notes and $030
in geld. They took everything from his
pockets, even his keys, and cut from his
sloeves the geld cuff buttons whleh he
wero, ana soeurca also a very valuabU
geld wateh. The only articles they left
were a ring whleh he worn and a geld
cellar button.
