Thu candidate* rn un Urn ted by the cal- vent Ion ycHlcrday had previously been uoinliintiil liy the people im elTeet. In only one ease wa* there is contest. There Is therefore no element of sur prise ta tho ticket.

It Is a good and winning ticket. It Is so constituted to 'usurc a vigor ous, aggressive, well ordered campaign In behalf of the ciuulldates satisfac tory to Uio iiarly mid worthy of tljo places usked for them of Uio people. Ah we said yesterday, however, the Interest felt by the people was mainly In the resolutions Indicating tho Inten tions of the parly. Of these, the must Important, because they /would most nlTect tho harmony of llto party, would deal with tlio uduilnlstntUnn of Presi dent Cleveland and tho silver question. AVIUi the first of tlieso, ns adopted by the convention, no Democrat should quarrel. There Is not In It it trace of Ihe hostility toward him with which It lin.s been sought to Inspire Uio party, hut on the contrary n hearty recogul tVou of his great qualities ns a mnu nnd Ills great services ns president The silver resolution Is a compromise. It falls lo fully explain the vlewf of either of the opposing forces In the party as to the methods by which bimetallism should bo brought about, and repre sents Uio com-oMionia which each was willing to make for Uie sake of Imr- mouy. Ilut wliat tho resolution does say Is Democratic, not Populistic, and the Telegraph Is satisfied with It. There enn be tie objection by nuy Democrat tu the free nnd unlimited coinage of gold aud silver dollars ou n parity wlUt each other In Intrinsic and exchangea ble value. A VALUABLE ltKKOUM. Tlio Democratic convention yosterdny passed a law for the government of the party In the future Hint wo believe will bo fruitful of valuable results. Ac cording to thin uow law, the primaries and mass meeting* of Hie parly for the selection of delegates to future oonven t'.ons will bo held in all tho enmities ou the same day. Tho. cltcct of this wilt be to shorten campaigns which have heretofore tuxed the strength of email dales and worried tho people, nnd to put at rest the vague susplelou which bns heretofore cxisUxl that nominations Were gained by slurp political manage ment rather Umu through the favor of tlio people. The people of each county are left to divide for Uienuelvtxt the manlier lo which they shall choose Iholr delegates. Tho only Interference by Uie supreme authority of the nutty Is tn tlx lag the time for chooslug them. Tills slight Interferonee in uo way af fects the liberty of choice, aud ennnol cause auy serious tncouvwi'ooco to any body, aud as It Is made In tho general Interest of tho pilrty. It Is thoroughly Justifiable. i The party Is tnilebteil to Mr. Dessau of our city for this reform. Ho lias tried befora to bring it about aud failed. In the conreutlon yesterday he managed the matter splendidly, and was successful. Whivi the new plan luts Ikvo Id operation long eoougli to be judged liy Its practical results, we are sure Mr. Dessau'* services to the party will be remembered with grati tude by the Democrat* of tieorgln. them, ore. two hundred nnd fifty years behind.” There Is a gymnasium 1u ev ery Japanese barracks. * "Mr, Gorman la pof accurate,” says Uio Louisville Courier-Journal, ’’when he says Uiere are forty-four Democrats In the senate.

Miss Estelle R**L Th* platform declares in fsooi of tree silver and protection. Lyons, Aug. 2.—The trial of Santo Caeserio for Uio murder of President Carnot began this morning. He is a mlld-fuced, commonplace youth. His complexion la fair and (here is a faint suspicion of dojvA upon fils upper lip. Altogether his appearanco is effemi nate, and the remark of one of the spectators that "he looks as though he would not hurt a fly’.’ pretty accurately describes him. % The prisoner'had hardly taken his scat when Judge Brenlllas told him to stand up. As he obeyed tho order bo bowed and smiled again, and It seemed difficult to realize that such a mild- mannered boy was the nssassln of the chief magistrate of tho French repub lic. After the opening formalities of Uie trial, Including the appointment of nu Interpreter, the prisoner was ques tioned by tho judge. His Christian name, ho said, was Santo Geronlm.o. Hejvns born in November, 1873, aud bis father was a ferryman. Coming to questions of the prisoner’s responsibil ity tho judge said: “It Is an Important point whether you are rcsponslbje or not” Caescrlo replied, In a firm voice: “Yes, sir, I am absolutely responsible.” Later the Judge said: “Your mother worshipped you nnd gavo you all tho advantages she possibly could. She sent you to school, where you never won n prize.” “Never once,” .answered Caescrlo, laughing with genuino gayety. The aplomb of the prisoner exalted expres sions of surprise on all sides, noting equal to It having ever been witnessed here. In reference to Ills having been sent to school, he added: "It 1 had been a butter scholar I should have been a better man." A few minutes later, when asked about his choir boy days, when he rep reseuted Jobn Uie Baptist in church processions, he said: "I was a cJUIel then and children, you know, unwit tingly act stupidly." Tlio judge then discussed Caeserio's presence at the revolutionary lectures of Signor Gort, a lawyer. In .Milan, In spite of the expostulations of his fam ily, whereupon Caescrlo exclaimed: "Humanity is greater than family.” Asked whether be did not act os a cour.er between the Anarchists of Franco nnd Italy after the Italian An archist Journal, Amici do Popolo, had been suppressed, Caescrlo answered: "The police do their work; I do mine. I have nothing more to say than thnt.' Tho prisoner denied knowing a single Anarchist, i Judge BreulUnc—Coming to Lyons, you stopped at Vienna and went lo nn Anarchist barber’s? Caenorlo-1 naturally went to a bar ber’s: I could not get my hair cut at a baker’s. (Laughter.) The Judge—A deputation of Lyons Anarchists vislted’you ns a personage of Importance when you were 111 In the hospital at Cette? Caescrlo—iA friends from Lyons vis ited me and lie lind some of fils friends with 1dm, but they brought me nothlug. Judge—What, brought you nothing? Did not they bring you these? (Produc ing photographs of Ravnchol, Pallas anil tlio Chicago Anarchists.) "No," replied Caescrlo. “At any rate, they wero similar to tlieso,” retorted tho judge. "Now, you arc right,” admitted tho prisoner. Throughout the trial the prisoner de fended himself against accusations of connection with Anarchists with rare skill, fighting the ground Inch by Inch. There was % profound sensation lu the rourt room when Assistant Registrar Methulr removed the covering from a dagger and handed It to the Judgsv The weapon was still.stalneil with the blood of Uie murdered president. As the magistrate held K up a thrill of horror ran through the assemblage. “Is this the one you brought from Cette?" asked the Judge. "Yes." replied C.leserlo. unfllncningly, as he nodded toward the bUH bloody dagger. Through the Interpreter Caroerlo minutely detailed Ida Journey from Cette to Lyons, the Jury following him attentively as he narrated his peregri nation* In Lyons unUI he arrived out side the Credit Lyonais. Here the prisoner, with brutal coolness, de scribed Ills later movements aa fol lows: "When I siw Carnot’s carriage urtv- lng I unsheathed ray dagger. I ran forward and placed the dagger, turned and withdrew, when I was struck down. "While I used the weapon Car not looked me straight in the eyes." Judge—Did you not have some sen sation of the enormity of your act when you saw the eyes of your victim fixed upon you? H.ts not remorseful memory troubled you since? Caeserio—No, I have had none what ever, • The brutal cynicism of the prisoner caused a movement of repulsion Tn the court room. Coming to the question of premeditation.'Caeserio readily admit ted Tim the Anarchist was the enemy of all chiefs of state, and also that the purchase of the dagger was a further Indication of premeditation. The Judge—How tong .had you medi tated the crime? /- ’w Impudencly—"Yod’U find Chat the prosecution papers.;’ The Judge (hen read a number of ihfiammatory statements attributed to Caeserio. and said: “You declare that If you return to Italy you would kill both the king oml the pope?" Cteserio—That Is impossible. The pope and the king nre never together, therefor* I could not kill both. He also denied that the crime wa the result of « plot in which (he ns rosin was designated by lot. The ludge asked Gaeaerio if In case he hod hot killed the president in Lyons he would have tried to do so elsewhere, to Paris, for instance. The prisoner Highest of all ia Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report ABSQEJOTEKY PURE For sale at wholesale by 8. R. JAQUES & TINSLEY aud A. B. SMALL answered that If he had not succeeded he -would have tried to flndwork. ■Judge—Should you have followed and tried to kill him elsewhere?" Caeserio—Perhaps so; if an oppor tunity occurred. A number of witnesses testified «o the details of the crime and the Identifica tion of the prisoner. A young boot maker, Domergue, who oaught Caeserio as he was lleeing after striking the fatal blow, related ihe circumstances. Caeserio contradicted Domergue, say ing: "You are not the first man who seized me. It was some one else. You are claiming glory that you did not e Yni5dentaVly. Caeserio expressed re gret that he had thrown his dagger away, as had he retained it he would have stabbed Domergue or any one else who attempted ’to stop him. At this Domergue, whose face had been almost crimson/turned white. During a short speech ihe court declared re- C< X>e* Bruit, the prlaoner’n. counsel, ex pressed astenluhlmcrtt at his clients coolness and asserted bU lntoOUon to set up a plea of insanity, basing It up on ihe prisoner's action and upon her editary epileptic tendencies. Or. ponepr, 'the physician who atend- ed Carnot after he was wounded, gave a long and detailed description of Car- not's Injuries. While he was doing thin the prisoner sit dp with an expression ■of mute elation, drinking 'o cvery word with the avidity of a student thirsting for knowledge. The trial w.ll be continued tomorrow.
