He impressed me in that interview as having the same earnest and sincere interest in the results of this election as has always characterized his utterances in the interest of the Democratic principles when they wen; upon trial Ix-fore the people of this country. Of course we all recognize the facts (because Mr. Cleveland is one who does not conceal from the public his maturely formed opinions) that he had hoped for the passage of a revenue measure more in accordance with his views of the pledges ot the party in its declaration at Chicago. But, as he has already stated, what has been done “will certainly enlighten many tariff burdens that now rest
heavily upon the people.”
The statement then says that the president approved of the work done by the congressional committee and adds: You can rest assured that I express my honest judgment when I say that, from my conversation with the president, no man takes a deeper interest In tlie success of the Democratic party in the present eampaign and in the anxiety of the committee to return a Democratic majority to the Fifty-fourth congress than President

They led to a large hollow log across a small stream. An invosligition was made and Mrs. Jack was foim I inside the log. She was unconscious. Rains had swelled the log and it was impossible to pull her out. The log had to be split open with axes. The woman was carried to the nearest house. She had been assaulted. The men who committed the deed jugtit they had killed her, and to hide their crime they placed her in the log. Phn recovered consciousness, as the log showed she had endeavored to crawl out. ’ Ker face, hands and neck were badly f eut and bruised. Her finger nails were I bent and broken and her hands badly * lacerated in trying to get out of her tinr- | row prison after the log began to swell. She had nothing to eat for all these days and death would have resulted from starvation if she hail not been found. Another searching party has relieved the one that found Mrs. Jack, and is now looking for the tramps. The band of men who are hunting the men will show them no mercy. Mrs. Jack is a vvS_..g woman.
