Mr. Henn re \plied: "From the description given of tl*e man I think I know him. He used to come here and get something to eat onee in a while. He is much better known at McCoy's liquor store on South street, where he used to do chores." It is th* question upon which the coming Presidential campaign will be fought.

The statesmansip they require consists in honest] and frugality, a prompt response to tht needs of the people as they arise, and the vigilant protection of all their interests. If I should be called to the chief magistracy of the nation by thu suffrages of my fellow citizens, I will assume the duties of that high office with a solemn determination to dedicate every effort to the country's good, and with an humble reliance upon the favor and support of the Supremo Being, who I belive will always biees honest human endeavor id the conscientious discharge of public duty.

Protection of Workington'* Interests and Honest Oovern■unt—The Public Service. crime in this state than the foul murder of an innocent young girl, after having been subjected to the most brutal indignities at the hands of one or more ruffians The victim of the horrible crime is Miss Ella Watson, aged 16 yean, daughter of George Watson, one of th* best-known farmers in this part of Salon oounty. Miss Watson was quite a prottry girl, of loving and amiable disposition and well grown for her age. She was a great favorite among the neighbors, and her crual murder has caused great excitement in the neighborhood, where threats are openly made to lynch the pei-sop or persona whs may be shown to have committed the heinous crime. The Report of the ravages of the cholera in ■everal departments of Southern Franoe for the twenty-four hours ending at !► o'clock yesterday morning is as follows: Herault, 14 deaths; Gard, 8; Aude, 4; Eastern Pyrenes. 20. Fellow Citizens—'The place and the time where the Republican party was first organ-, ized will, 1 presume, remain like the birthplace of Homer, a subject of unending dispute. Seven cities claimed the latter, and seven states may claim the former. It could hardly be doubted that a great thought common to the minds of a million men would find expression at the same time in places widely separated, but I think it is historically true that the patriotic men who met in this town in 1864 wore the pioneers of the grekt movement which resulted in the organization of the Republican party. VlTho reporter called at McCoy's and the bortouder said: "The dead man's nAipa was George Harvey. He came here frequently until a fow mouths ago. Ha is very well connected in Boston. His family there are wealthy and hold a high social position. Harvey was by occupation a salesman and was at various times connected with some of the largest dry goods firms in this city. He was addicted to the too free use of liquor. His family time and again have exte.ided to him a helping hand. Their effort*, however, were lost on him. He sank lower.' md lower, until he degenerated into a tramp. On mora than one occasion a policeman, assisted by some of the men around South street, has tied a ropa around his waist when he found him lying in a drunken stupor on the pier, and lowered him into the water and. kept him there for u second or two. This did no good. He was afraid of this treatment at first, but got used to it The man had every encouragement to keep straight, but he loved drink too much and sacrificed all." Gkntlkibsn—I have received your communication dated July 538, 1884, informing me of my nomination to the office of president of the United States by the Hational Democratic convention lately assembled at Chicago. 1 accept the nomination with a grateful appreciation of the supreme honor confer red, and a solemn sense of the responsibility which. In its acceptance, I assume. I have carefully considered the platform adopted by the convention and cordially appro** the same. So plain a statement of Democratic faith and principles upon which that party appeals to the suffrages of th« people, needs no supplement or explanation. It should be remembered that the office of president is essentially executive in its nature. The laws enacted by the legislative branch of the government, the chief executive is bound faithfully to enforce. And when the wisdom of the political party which selects one of its members as a nominee for that office has outlined its policy and declared its principles it seeuis to me that nothing in the character of the office or the necessities of the case, requires more from the candidate accepting such nomination than the suggestion of certain well known truths, so absolutely vital to the safety |and well are of the nation that they cannot be too often recalled or too Albany, N.

But little is known of the particulars of the assault, which endeg only in the death of Miss Watson, but itr is apparent that the defenceless girl made a desperate attempt to protect herself and resisted her ruffianly assailant until almost her last breath. Efforts are being made to unravel the mystery, and the sh.-rtff and coroner, aided by citizens, are doing all that is possible to arrest the perpe!' .itorS of the bold aud horrible crime. The men of that day builded better than they knew, and imitated a movement whose granduer and whose destiny could not then be roasured. Great parties never come by a whereas and a rule; parties cannot be improvised or extemporised. They grow. They come from an instinct and -the masses of the people, and are not the product of political htbora. Thus it was with the Federal party, with the old Republican party, with the Democratic party, with the Whig party, and yith that great party whose existence we celebrate to-day. I am here to exchange congratulations with old neighbors and old congratulations on all that has been accomplished; congratulations on the spirit and courage of the party to continue its great wCsrk in the future. Paris, Aug. 30.—At Toulon there were two deaths from cholera. Fatal cases develop more rapidly and death corned ippie quickly than at the outbreak of the epidemic. A POWDER Absolutely Pure.

Tl» flesh had been carefully Tsmoved to the very bones. The eyes were decayed. faoe was covered with shaggy red whiskers, and the head with darkish-red hair.

All around were evidences of the terrible death struggle. '{|hfiw was a wound across ths forehead of the dead girl, whiph possibly fractured the .skull, but  immediate cause of death was strangulation, as was shown by the plain flngnr prints on tin throat made by the brutal assailant of the girl.

There were 651 coolies on board, of whom twenty-eight had been down with the cholera.

A 5 o'clock the Portland steamer John Brooks with {BO paasengers, when off Buoy 8, sighted the big Nantasket steamer Twilight with 600 passengers. Both boats stopped, but too late. The Brooks crashed into tUD Twilight and a panic at once ensued. Four Twilight paasengers jumped on the Brooks thinking thsSr own boat was sinking. In"*swinging away . from the Twilight the Brooks narrowly escaped collision with the Portland steamer Penobscot and the harbor steamer Oov. Andrew.
