The foes of Ireland seem to be in creasing in strength. In some por tions of Ireland, especially in Ulster, the people are reported to be arming in opposition to the policy of Home rule, and such measmes seem to be sustained by the followers of Lord Saulsbury and the adherents of the Tory party. We cannot undertake to publish their procedings, and the voluminous reports upon this compli cated trouble. Gladstone stands firm amidst the opposition which is seek ing to crush him. He is an extraor dinary man to be able to resist such immense assaults at his advanced age. He still stands firm resisting the as saults of his enemies and beating them in the force of his arguments. Ho demolishes their strongest points in a few sentences, but they are nu merous. violent, and constantly ag- grestive. It is said he will not resign and some of his leading followers want him to appeal to the people of the Kingdom. The Irish are greatly di vided on the question of religion, and great turmoils have existed between them since the battle of the Boyne. Home rule would tend to prevent re ligious troubles and allow freedom of opinion and worship to all. The < *rangeinen don't believe this, and think that home rule would cause the oppression of the Protestants. The absurdity' of this is manifested in the fact that many of the strongest friends nf Home rule are as devoted Protest ants as can be,found in the Kingdom. The friends of Ireland are hoping for th<- best, but the prospect seems to favor the continuance of the old poli cy of intolerance and oppression. The Party and the Offices. A writer for the Washington Post, under the signature of ‘'Administra tive Democrat." defends the policy of the President in reference to appoint ments to office. He undertakes to show that Mr. Jefferson made but few changes in the offices, though they were filled by officers who were opposed to the Democratic party. During the first year of his adminis tration. there were but 16 removals from office, and there were but two or three more, only about 64 or 35 in two years. President Jefferson ex pressed the idea that it was best to obtain a just participation in the offices by democrats, by appointing them upon the deaths, resignations, and delinquencies of the old officers. He said this would show that the par ty had not sought power for office, but for principles. With these views and acting upon them, Mr. Jefferson was re-elected by a largely increased majority. Mr. Madison and Mr. Monroe, fol lowed Mr. Jefferson’s example. Gen eral Jackson, lie said, entertained and acted upon similar views. How ever this may have been, we must re member that the Democrats were in power under Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, for eight years each, making 24 successive years, and as they had gradually appointed democrats dur ing all that time, nearly all the offices were filled by democrats. General Jackson and Mr. Van Buren. (demo crats) also appointed members of the party to office. Mr. Cleveland couies in and finds all the offices filled by Republicans, who had possessed them for 25 years. The slogan of his party, during the canvas, was, “turn the rascals out.” Under these circumstances it was his duty to supply their places, as far as it could be done, consistently with law, with democrats. In the early stages of the government there were few offices compared with the present time, and the obligation to sustain the party, both in consideration of its preservation and the positive demand of the party, to “turn the rascals out,” demanded as great a change as it was in the power of Mr. Cleveland to make. The readers of United States ’iistory, know, that under General Washington and the first President Adams, public virtue and official duty were much purer than they have been for the last fourth of a century under the Republicans, and the ne cessity for changes then was compara tively light compared with the pres ent time. While we have confidence in Mr. Cleveland's democracy, we have expressed the opinion that the best interests of the Democratic jiartv would be promoted by his placing cohipetent and faithful democrats in as many offices as possible and we are pleased to know, as we have seen it stased. his changes can be counted by several thousands. We would be pleased to see them quadrupled at an early period. - -7— DERED. After the Anarchists had been dis persed the police set to work to look after tlieir wounded and dying com rades. Two of them were found where the bond) exploded, both so desperately wounded as to be past hope of recovery. About thirty ot hers were found lying on the pavement in the vicinity and suffering from pistol- shot wounds in their limbs and bodies, and unable to stir hand or foot. The rioters, too, lay around wounded and dying, but the officers paid no atten tion to their sufferings at first, only thinking of their own fallen compan ions. They picked them up and bore those who could not walk or move to the station, and assisted all with slight wounds to walk to their homes. The drug stores and saloons about the scene of the battle were soon filled wounded men. The squad-room in the Desplaines-street station half an hour after the shooting resembled a charnel-house—w r ounded and dying policemen were lying everywhere. Fifteen wounded officers sat in chairs around the room, heroically struggling with fearful pains which racked their bodies, waiting for the arrival of ser- geons to dress their wounds. Such a scene is rarely witnessed except on a battle-ground. Policemen who es caped without injury were acting as nurses, assisting the few surgeons who reached the station when the men were brought in. Among the first to arrive were five I Catholic priests, who immediately busied themselves among the wound- i ed. Their presence and kindly min- ! ist rat ions seemed to cheer up the men, especially those whose injuries ! were so desperate that their lives were despaired of. Officer Tim Flavin lay 1 on a table in the center of the room unconscious. Above his heart was a I great blotch of red, which told the ; story of his fate. His life was fast eb- 1 bing away, and the only thing that could be done for him was to admin ister to his spiritual welfare. Officer George Miller and Tom Redden, both fearfully wounded, lay on either side of Flavin, one on the* floor, the other on chairs. Miller’s face was fearfully cut and bruised, his limbs was para lyzed by numerous wounds, and his body was pierced by six bullets. He smiled cheerfully though when his fellow-officers came to the side of his rudely-improvised cot. Redden, though as desperately wounded as Miller, was more fully alive to liis condition. Outside of the station were fifteen patrol wagons loaded down with their freight of shattered humanity preparatory to* removing it to the county hospital or the mor gue. Officers stood guard around the wagons silenty waiting orders from their superiors. Their silence indicative of a great deal, as shown when the order to fall in sent along the line. looking for the leaders. When the order to march to Iso Lake street was passed every man drew liis revolver, examined every detail of its working, and his face asj sumed a stern look which boded no good to the hair-brained Anarchist of was was was 54 THE DEADLY BOMB. THE MURDEROUS ANARCHISTS. The Sanguinary Scene, caused by the Anarchists on the 5th of May, at Chicago, ought to be better known and for that reason we publish the following portions of the dreadful and bloody affair caused by Parsons, Au- f?ust Spies, Sfini 1 ielding *m<l other rin" leaders. It was plotted and. de signed for murder. Jlie atiociousl villains and murderers prepared and arranged their followers for \\ ^lolesale murder. They expected victory but failed in that and were put to route. Thev have no excuse and deserve no mercy for they had fair warning. Captain Ward, of the Police, raised his club to command the attention of the strikers and then cried: “In the name of the State of Illinois I com mand this crowd to disperse.” As the words left his mouth a spluttering spark of fire arched through the air from the opening of the alley and over the speaker's wagon. It was the burning fuse of a dynamite bomb. It was well aimed in its deadly mission. It fell directly in the middle of the street and between the first two dou ble columns of police. The instant that it struck the ground it exploded with a terrible sullen roar. It did its deadly work well. Twenty-nine man gled men fell groaning to the ground. The bomb broke the ranks of the offi cers. A Gatling gun could not have cut a wilder swatli. A SCENE OF HORROR followed, the details of which may never be known. Before the officers had time to realize the destruction and death which had been wrought in their ranks, the cool crowds of An archists gathered in front and on either side of them, and opened fire with their revolvers at almost point blank range. The first volley of the mob was quite as fearful in its effects as was the explosion of the bomb, but the officers did not lose their presence of mind. Orders flew thick and fast from the Captains and Lieutenants and within the briefest possible space of time they were charging the mur derous assassins on every hand, deal ing death and destruction to them with their revolvers. The Anarchists did not sustain the charge an instant, but fled as soon as they could distin guish the blue coats and bright but tons of the officers through the smoke from their revolvers. It was almost a scramble for life. Scores of men were knocked down by those behind them and trampled upon like cattle in a car unable to rise. The cracking of re volvers was incessant for live minutes, and only once was anything like a volley fired by either side. This was fired by the Anarchist when the bomb exploded in the ranks of the police, thus showing that they had been carefully drilled beforehand to act in concert. When the officers emptied their pistols they used them as clubs, and it is quite probable that the Cor oner's jury will develop that more than one of the strikers came to their death by a fractured skull. The police chased them until they all dis appeared. GATHERING THE MANGLED AND MUR- the Spies-Parsons order. The march to the hall was accomplished in quick time, but on arriving there it was found to be deserted. The object of the march was to apprehend Parsons and Spies. Considering the temper of the police, the notorious Anarchists would probably have fared badly had they fallen into the hands of the offi cers. , , Along Desplanes street were cor dons of police who stood guard over the wounded forms of fallen Anarch ists It was impossible to get an esti mate of the latter who were killed and wounded, but, from the number of forms which lay in the mud, the esti mate may be placed at a high, figure, but they were being crammed into the Desplaines police station last as the officers could handle them, and those whose wounds were most serious were taken to the hospital. Lieut, Stanton, of the Westlake- street station, was seen in the County Hospital. He said: “I have four wounds—one in the leg, two in the arm and one in the breast. The first three were made by the bomb and the last by a bullet fired by some one in the crowd. I have eighteen men in my detail, which was at the time marching up to take position near the assemblage. The bomb fell a few inches from my feet and evidently came from a build ing. The fuse was lighted. As I] had seen service in the navy I understood what it meant and told my men to look out. It exploded in the midst of my squad. The bomb, I think, was filled with scrap-iron or bullets.” The foregoing we copy from the re port which we find in the Louisville Courier Journal. We can make room for no more extracts in this issue of The killed and wounded MEETING OF THE STATE EXECU TIVE COMMITTEE. our paper of the police and citizens numbered about 65, and the Anarchists scarcely half that number. The investigation leads to the opinion that Schwab threw the bomb and it is 110 wonder that, as is stated, his features blanch ed and the perspiration gathered on his forehead. His nervousness in creased until he was unable to main tain a standing position. Parsons at last accounts had not been captured. The assault upon the police is attrib uted to him, Spies and Schwab. Field- en is probably equally guilty. Most of the ringleaders are in prison and will doubtless be executed on the gal lows. The fund being raised for the benefit of the families of the dead and wounded police, had been swelled to 28 thousand dollars. The prisoners occupy separate cells and no one is allowed to communicate with them. The whole country must see, now, what)these Anarchist are aiming to accomplish. Before the tragedy at Chicago, A. R. Parsons published: “I have thousands of brethren who will sell their lives as dearly as I will mine. I shall wait just as long as I think nec essary for the public to take warning and then you decide your own fate. It must be liberty for the people, or death for capital. I am not choosing more. It is your choice and your last. I love and therefore die for it now; every drop of my blood shall cast an avenger, and woe to America when these are in arms. I have not yet slept, nor shall I sleep in death of my fellow men who are on the road to liberty.” This is an ex tract from a published article from this rabid dog. These Anarchists have in various sections, principally in New York, military organizations of more than ten thousand men con sisting principally of rifle corps. It is said they have a college in New Jer sey where the members are taught how to use dynamite and Greek fire. The Chicago fight was the beginning of a revolution. Their doctrine is down with church, State, capital, Knights of Labor, and up with revo lution and all kind of villainy. Atro- cious£crimes have been committed with the most revolting effrontery. The time has come to resist their treachery and the only safe policy is to punish the guilty and expel* all their followers from our land. Some of our own people have been inflamed and misled by their insolent, rapacious and bloody minded villain ies. Our only safety is in executing some and expelling the other revolu tionary interlopers, the leaders and their followers from the country, and establishing more vigorous safeguards for the future. JOINT, DEBATES TO END. Atlanta, May 20.—The bitter per sonalities developed in the joint dis cussion have seriously disturbed the friends of both candidates, and toj night the following agreements were signed by the authorized representa tives of Gen. Gordon and Maj. Bacon. Atlanta, May 20, 1886. To the Democratic Voters of the State: In conversation with Maj. Howell, I suggested that the violent personal ities of the campaign threatened the peace and good order of the State, and that they should be stopped at once. He agreed with me heartily. As the result of our conversation we made the following agreement about the joint discussion. This is solely in the interest of the party, and is not to be construed as either directly or in directly in the interest of either can didate. Patrick Walsh. I concur in the foregoing. E. P. Howell. Atlanta, Ga., May 20,1886. Gen. John B. Gordon and Hon. A. O. Bacon, Candidates for the Demo cratic Nomination for Governor: Having authorized us to arrange for a joint discussion of the issues of the campaign, atid having selected us to name the places and dates, we have agreed that the joint discussion shall terminate this week. We have ar rived at this conclusion in order that the harmony of the party may be pre served, and that the asperities of the campaign may be removed as far as possible. After the time named each candidate shall make his own appoint ments to address the Democratic vo ters of the State. E. P. Howell, For Gen. John B. Gordon. Patrick Walsh, For Hon. A. O. Bacon. Atlanta, Ga., May 20.—The Demo cratic State Executive Committee met at 10 o'clock this morning at the Kim ball house in this city and was called to order by Chairman Polhill. All were present except Col. J. H. Estill, A. S. Cutts, of Americus, and J. S. Turner. Dupont Gnerry held Mr. Cutts’ proxv and Robert Whitfield, of Milledgeville, held Mr. Turner's. The proxies were approved. Hon. Patrick Walsh, member of the National Committee and ex-officio of the State Committee, was invited to a The following resolutions were in troduced by Mr. Peeples: 1. Resolved, That a convention of the Democratic party of Georgia be called, to convene in the hall of the House of Representatives at 12 m on next, to nominate a candid ate for Governor and candidates for Attorney General, Comptroller, Treas urer, and Secretary of State. 2. Resolved, That each county be entitled to tw’ice the number of votes in said convention that it is now en titled to in the House of Representa tives of the General Assembly of this State. 3. Resolved, That in accordance with the established usage of the Democratic party that the time and manner of selecting delegates to the convention and the number of dele gates the counties may send to cast the vote be left to the people of each coun ty. 4. Resolved, That the Executive Committee Of each county is earnestly requested to adopt such methods, sat isfactory to itself, as will insure a full, free and fair expression of the popu lar choice in selecting delegates to State, district and Senatorial conven tions. 5. Resolved, That in order to se cure bonafide representation upon which the party must depend for a true expression of its preferences in nominating conventions, that each county be requested to select altern ates to take the place of regularly ap pointed delegates who fail to attend and recommend that no person shall be eligible to a seat in the convention who is not an actual citizen of the county lie offers to represent. The resolutions were considered by sections. Dates ranging from July 14 to the second Wednesday in Au gust were proposed, but after long discussion the committee compromis ed on July 28. In the discussion the friends of Gen. Gordon asked a late date and Maj. Bacon’s an early. Mr. Daniel moved to substitute Au gusta as the place of holding the con vention, and read invitations from the City Council of Augusta and the Executive Committee of Richmond county. He also read a recommenda tion from the Executive Committee of Elbert county for Augusta. Mr. Walsh followed in a strong ap peal. Quite a warm discussion ensued, but Atlanta was selected. The ma jority of the committee favored Augusta personally, IL^it doubted the policy of holding the convention there. Sections 3 and 4 were stricken out after considerable discussion on the ground that they contained matter j with which the committee had nothing | to do, and were unnecessary. The other sections were adopted I unanimously. * After adopting resoutions of thanks ! to Augusta, and the other usual resol utions of thanks, the committee ad- i journed till 10 o’clock in the morning of July 28. The committee was polled, and i showed fifteen votes for Maj. Bacon 1 and eight for Gen. Gordon. } Cash Idll Command BARGAINS! If you are in want of anythi time to buy.
