was nominated on the first ballot by a
vote of 89 to 52. Gaslin having with
drawn. . the 52 votes were cast for
Q
France. The convention is reported
as being harmonious and enthusiastic.
BENJ. BUTLER , the muchly nomipa-
ted presidential aspirant , in his recent
manifesto , pays his compliments to both
parties , .and especially does he handle
the democracy with ungloved fingers.
It is suggested that his arraignment of ;
that party-would prove"an excellent ;
campaign document .for use by the
republican party. ;
FROM those present at the Senatorial ;
Convention held at Indianola , last Sat
urday , we learn that the meeting was a
most harmonious one. There being no ;
opposition'our jresent Se-nator , Hon. >
J. W. Dolan , was unanimously nominated -
ted by acclamation , being placed in
nomination , by "W. S. Morlan of Furnas
county , and seconded by a Hitchcock

compliment to Senator Dolan at the
hands of the representatives of his con :
stituency. .
LAST and least comes Cleveland's
letter of acceptance. The letter deals
in generalities mainly , and expatiates .
particularly on the civil service reform ,
prohibition 'and imported labor ques
tions , to the entire exclusion of the E
important issue the tariff question. f (
Grover makes a strong bid for the la
boring man's vote. As compared with f (
Elaine's lengthy dissertation and But mai
ler's 20,000-word blow-hard , it is ai
mild prominent more particularly for
its brevity. P' '

GEORGE D. LUCAS , a prominent tl
tlol
young-Irish-American of "Dubuque , la. , elSE
who.ha's been presidenfc-of the Cleveland olP <
andHendricks club of that city , has re SE
signed his-position because he feels it SEhi
his duty to vote for Blaiue and Logan. a (
The club will except his resignation , re P !
organize as a Blaine and Logan club , to
and probably elect Mr. Lucas as presi in
dent. The members , of whom there are cc
about 140 , are mostly Irish-Americans. tl
But still they insist that the Irish defec ae

it is "exaggerated. " Republican. si
TOBIAS , this state , has been in ter
rible commotion the past week , by rea
son of alleged scandalous acts of the
village's original owner , Tobias CSstor ,
und the recent murder of "Mrs. Ferris ,
by her husband , Wiley Ferris , ' and-his
subsequent self-destruction.
THE Boston Globe says : "Unless we
"are mistaken , the events of the next

"to withdraw or make him wish he had
"never accepted the nomination. "

EX-SENATOR SHARON , of Nevada ,
shook the dust of San Francisco courts
from his boots long enough to organize a
company to build another railway across
the Isthmus of Panama , with a steam
ship line as a side issue. The capital
is generously placed at $12,000,000.
With the De Lesseps canal , the Eads
ship railway and the Sharon short line ,
the neck of the continent will not be
much of a barrier to commerce in a few
years. .
DR. BURG of Paris has been making
some experiments in the treatment of
cholera by dosing the patient with a
weak solution of copper which is said
to have proven highly successful. The
theory is that the microbe that causes
the cholera can be destroyed by poison
mild enough to be harmless to higher
organisms. If the experiments demon
strate the soundness of the theory a so
lution of the cholera epidemic is near at
hand and the dread disease will soon be
stripped of its terrors. Journal.
IT seems the inhabitants of Hickman
and Lewis counties , Tennessee , do not
relish the proselyting ministrations of
Mormon missionaries , and have com
menced a counter campaign with their
shot guns. Up to the present time
three Mormon elders have gone to join
Joseph Smith and Brother Brigham in
the happy hunting grounds , and it is
probable that nine or ten wives and thir
ty or forty children morn their untime
ly loss. The shotgun policy seems to
win where duly applied by skillful
hands. Topics.
MRS. MARY A. LIVERMORE , a wom
an whose name and fame are world wide
and whose labors in the cause of tem
perance are too well known to require
3ven passing mention , is out in a long
letter deprecating the third party move
ment on the part of the prohibitionists.
Mrs. Livermore's works and observation
make her especially able to view the ten-
3encies of an independent political
movement by the prohibition element ,
ind her conclusions arc that nothing ;
valuable for the cause can be accom
plished -by the candidacy of St. John.
Republican.
THE Buffalo Courier , not satisfied
ivith the vindication of things accom
plished by "Gen. ' ' King has produced
mother. It , however , resembles King's
o much thatTit seem hardly worth while
o publish it. It does admit the asylum
jusiness , but denies that any more force
vas used in putting the woman there
han was necessary to make her go. We
lon't remember that the clergymen's
issociation said that there was. It
akes considerable force to put an able
odied woman in the asylum , if she
cnows it. ' The vindication of Grover is ,
n short that Maria was about the same
and of a citizen that he was. This islet
lot brilliant , but perhaps it will do.
LIEUTENANT GREELY has been inter-
riewed in the matter of the alleged
annibalism of his party at Cape Sabine
.nd says that if there was any of it , it
lid not come under his notice. He says
e
hat men living for months upon shrimps
.nd partially out of their heads by rea-
on of famine , might very naturally corn-
nit excesses of this kind. As to private t :
lenry , the full report of his case was
brwarded to the war department. He
ras shot after due trial by court martial
or stealing provisions from the coin-
aon stock. It was not his first offense
nd he had been warned of his fate if
he act was repeated. He said that a
irompt and terrible punishment was ab-
olutely necessary to save the lives of
he party. Henry was shot on the Gth
f June. Doubtless in palliation of the
ioor man's offense it may be truthfully
aid that he was himsslf insane from
unger and had lost all control of his
ctions. But situated as the Grecly
arty was it was probably necessary ;
impress upon the mind of every man
the party that the lives of the whole
ommand could not .be imperilled in n
nI
liat way. Henry , according'to Grcely's I
ccount , had taken the last time two a <
ounds of bacon and had made himself ti
ick by over-eating. { 11
THE recent earthquake in the east
was described in the telegraphic dis
patches in a highly sensational manner
and the people of the west were led to
believe that it was no ordinary shaking
up. The accounts swelled in their sen
sationalism the farther west they were
sent , and the Boston Advertiser in com
menting on this fact says : According
to the telegraphic reports the rcconfc
earthquake was not felt in the west ; but
the reports of the western papers tend
to remove this impression , and seem to
show that the intensity of "seismic cat
aclysm" became greater as the news of
it moved toward the Pacific. Here there
were ten people who did not know there
had been a quiver to one that did But ,
according to western journals "the whole
populace was panic stricken. " Here ,
the shock , as felt in the top of the Equit
able building , might perhaps have roll
ed a man off a sofa ; but by the time it
reached Chicago the poor wretch was
thrown from the sofa across the room ,
while in Omaha all the furniture was
piled upon him and in San Francisco
only faint traces of his remains were to
be found. The great danger discovera
ble in this curious phenomenon lies in
the possibility that the shock may make
the circuit of the globe and return to
plague us at the end of eighty days. If
it does the Chicago newspaper correspon
dents had better be chained up for the
day , or all Boston will be in fragments.
THE American banker's association ,
in session at Saratoga , has been giving
considerable of the time to .a discus
sion of panics and bank failures. One
of the notable papers was read by Ly-
man J. Gage , the Chicago banker , who
urged as a remedy for panics the keep
ing of cash reserves considerably larger
than 25 per cent. , a repeal of the usury
laws , and the adoption of uniform rules
as to loaning freely in times of distrust.
It is shown that in such times of dis
trust , when those who have money are
locking it up , and extensive loans are
necessary for strengthening the different
branches of trade , the banks draw in on
their loans and discounts j and on the
other hand , when trade is good and
times are easy , money is easily obtain
able. Mr. Gage takes the ground ,
which has every appearance of being
reasonable , that the practice should be
more nearly the reverse that the re
serves should be larger , and loans more
easily obtainable in times of general
distress.
GENERAL MANAGER CLARK , of the
Union Pacific , who tendered his resig
nation some time ago , is to be succeed
ed by Mr. S. B. Galloway , late general
manager of the Chicago & Grand Trunk
railway , and at present assistant to
President Adams. Mr. Galloway , who
recently made a trip of inspection over
the entire system of the Union Pacific ,
will probably enter upon the active dis
charge of his duties at an early day ,
making his headquarteis in Omaha-
The resignation of Mr. Clark was receiv
ed with regret and excepted with great
reluctance by the board of directors , but
as Mr. Clark insisted upon its accept
ance , such action had necessarily to be
taken. Mr. Clark has been with the Un
ion Pacific in various capacities for
many years , rising step by step to his
present position. He is regarded as one
3f the ablest railroad men in the coun
try. Bee.
THE B. & 51. train was seven hours late yes
terday and the regular 11 o'clock train did not
irrive here until 6 in the evening : . The delay
ivas caused by a collision at Heiglcr , a small
town not far this side of Denver. The east
jound train was standing on the side track
md another train ran into it , smashing both
jngines and badly ruining one baggage car.
Che passengers were all excited and badly
shaken , but the good luck happened that no
me was hurt. The blame could not be attach-
d to any onein particular. Gazette-Journal.
Bro. Isaac has a penchant for mixing
matters , but there is usually no difficul
ty in safely passing trains on different
iracks , it is only when , as in this case ,
in attempt is made to pass on the same
irack , that engines come to grief. And
urther , Haigler is in this state , and
veil nigh 200 miles from Denver.
Tins glorious commonwealth of corn
md hogs comes to the front again num-
jrously : The peaceful little hamlet of
Albion , Boone county , produces a
inique specimen of boyhood of 13 sum-
nurs , who has already become a con-
loisseur at the manufacture and manip-
ilation of c'the queer , " while Ecd Cloud
somes forward with a novelty in de
pravity deep in the shape of a nine-
ear-old-boyrrapist , his victim being a
ittle girl of the tender age of three
ears. This is intended to offset the
lotoriety accruing to the Pine Tree and
Empire states by reason of the alleged
ctions of the candidates for pvcsidcn-
ial honors whose homes arc within
heir borders.
A FEW more of those cases which
appear from time to time reminding us
that inhumanity has not been entirely
eradicated from the human breast have
iustbcen unearthed , by the Pennsylva
nia1 committee on lunacy of the state
board of public charities. In one case
an old man was found naked in an out
house in a very secluded spot of the
state , where ho had boon confined for
more than thirty years , chained by the
leg. In the other case neither the pub
lic nor the committee had any knowl
edge of the inhumanity practiced upon
an old man , who had likewise been
chained for more than a quarter of a
century , and it was not until his death
that the paticulars were brought out
and made public. Indignation through
out the state runs high and the commit
tee , in view of the disclosures already
made , have sent a letter to every phy
sician in Pennsylvania desiring to ascer
tain the mode of treatment in vogue in
private asylums , and it any such cases
are known or believed to exist to send
them to state hospitals for the insane ,
where they can receive humane and
proper treatment. The letter further
informs them that if they have any rea
son to believe any such insane are con
cealed and badly treated they should
investigate sucli cases and take the
necessary step for their transfer.
