GUB WASHINGTON LETTER,
AYasktkgTon, D. C., March 10, ’BB
Never at so early a period in the
contest have the prospects of the
Democracy been so blight as they Ap
pear for the campaign ot 1888. From
all hectic ns of the country the ad
vices are most cheering, and a dis
tinguished conservative Senator, not
given to gusli, sai l to your correspond
ent to-day. “Unless there is some
unforeseen issue raised, not even now
imagine*' or death should remove
Grover Cleveland, we will have prac
tically a walk over, and in any event
the course of the party and adminis
tration have.been such that the peo
ple are satisfied, and we can win with
anv one we are likely, under any cir
cums'aiices, to nominate,’’
The attempt made, while the Na
tional Dumrrcratie' Committee was in
session in this city, to make it appear
that President Cleveland was to have
strong opposition in his own State lias
proved abortive, and I am in position
to know that there will be no practic
ally no opposition to a renoniination,
and if Mr. Cleveland should decline
the party would not admit i:.
Who ahull be placed on the ticket
with President Cleveland is now the
Daily queston. Mr. Vilas has many
supporters for a while, but be appears
not ro oare partioulai Ip for the place.
Col. Morrison, of Itlr.ois, lias mady
warm friends, arid be would like the
nomination, while there are thousand
ot Democrats who are anxious to shout*
for Kentucky’s favorite son, -Speaker
Carlisle. But there is v stronif un
der current of popular feeling in favor
of Gen, John 0. Black, and it is gen
eia[lv conceeiled that if the convehtion
were to be held to day, his nomination
would be demanded. He is a grow-,
favorite, and all w'<o give the matter
careful thought concdc that poaesses
more elements of strength than anj
other nallied.
He is considered one of the finest
campaign speakers in the country, a d
as Mitl. has always been in g reat d -
inand bv his patty for years.
Two days after President Cleve
lands inauguration General Black wa
tembeied unsolicited the appointment
of Commissioner ot Pensions, which
lie accepted, and immediately enteied
upon the dist-haie of his duties,
His administration of this grea 1
trust has beetn marked by signal a
hility and great justice, and the veter
ans have come to legat'd him as then
friend. Personally, General Black h
one of the kindest and most genial <>'
men, but inflexible in the discharge
ot public duty. He is of marked per

office of President, should lie he called
upon to fill the duties of the station.

was aroused and opened the doors to
be met by a mob of twchty-five or
thirty five men who demanded the
keys to Ruffin’s cell. He tefused the
demand, hut seeing the mob was de
termined to break open the door with
sledge hammets, which they had
brought for that purpose, and thereby
release the other prisoners, and know
ing that he was powerless to prevent
it, deemed it the wisest course to
GIVE UP THE KEYS,
which he did, The mob then brought
Ruffin out in short order and repaired
to the scales immediately acioss the.
square where ihe Mork was done.

lynchers to put out. This he refused,
to do, and several slims were fired at
him and a number of stones thrown,
