Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky seem to be the important states to would-be democratic candidates for president, and wo think the situation so far is fa vorable to the nomination of Cleveland. The Journal believes that Carlisle would make a better candidate for the democracy. Governor Boxd has issued a procla mation offering S203, reward for the ap prehension of the parties who murdered Mrs. Elizabeth Owen near Superior, in Nuckolls county, about June 4th.

The Candidate for Vice President. The editor of the New York Snn is a man of brains and of independent spirit. What he says is always worth reading, whether you agree with him or not. Hear him concerning the republican candidate for vice president, pretty good for a political opponent: The nomination of Mr. WhitelawReid adds greatly to the strength of the re publican national ticket. Rarely has any of the candidates for this office uni ted in his person so many qualities bearing the promise of success. Famil iarity with public affairs, abilities proved in many departments of intellectual effort, judgment ripened and disciplined by experience, and that great advantage which proceeds from being known in all parts of the country, all these belong to Mr. Reid. Everybody understands that if he were vice president the functions of the office, however great their extent might prove to be, would be adminis tered with dignity and wisdom, and, above all, with entire patriotism. CLEVELAND AND HILL. HOW THE FIGHT BETWEEN THEM IS GOING. The Leaders of the Several Forces Claim I dc Everythinc Many Tammakiy Braves Leave New York for Chicago The Prospects for m Dark Horse. Chicaoo, June 20. The relative positions of Blaine and Harrison at Minneapolis two weeks' ago were not unlike those of Hill and Cleveland in Chicago to-day. On the Saturday be fore the Republican convention Sena tor Quay said to a reporter: "Mr. Blaine will be nominated one the first ballot and Mr. Harrison well, Mr. Harrison will get some votes." Senator Hill's managers say to-day in effect: "Mr. Hill will be nominated and Mr. Cleveland well, Mr. Cleve land has a majority of the delegates as they now stand, but a majority is not two-thirds." It does not, of course, follow that Mr. Hill will emulate the KICHARD CHOKER, Leader of the Tammany forces. folly of Mr. Blaine and himself destroy the work of his own managers. There are several important points of differ ence between Senator Hillandtheman from Maine, and this is the most im portant of all. The Hill men conceded to Cleveland 401 votes. Yet they are this afternoon more certain than ever that Cleveland is beaten. There was a conference which lasted till early this morning between Richard Croker and William Murphy, Jr., cf the New York Democ racy, and such representative anti Cleveland men as Carlisle and Watter son of Kentucky, Senator Gorman and the Indiana friends of Gov. Gray. Illinois, which is claimed by everybody and belongs to nobody, is a center of increasing interest. The State has four candidates Palmer, Morrison, Stevenson and Fuller. It has also 48 votes; enough, at almost any stage of the convention, to give a new turn to affairs. Not one of the four favorite sons can command the entire 48. and it remains to be seen whether any out sider can. OWENS FOR CHAIRMAN. The Keutucklan Selected as Temporary I'resldlos Officer. Chicago, June 20. The subcommit tee charged with the duty of selecting ofticers for the temporary organization of the convention met at the com mittee headquarters at noon. There were present, besides the officers of the national committee, Senator Ransom of North Carolina, Senator Gorman of Maryland, Lieut. -Gov. Shee han of New York, Henry Watterson of Kentucky and J. G. Prather of Mis souri. There were but two names mentioned for the positton of temporary chair man, V. C Owens of Kentucky and A. E. Stevenson of Illinois. Without the formality of a ballot, Mr. Owens' selec tion was made unanimous. This does not indicate, it is said, any preference on the part of a majority of the sub-committee of a Presidential candidate, as both Owens and Steven son are recognized as Cleveland men. S. P. Sheerin, secretary of the na tional committee, will act as secretary of the temporary organization. Michigan Has a Man. The Michigan headquarters are hand somely decorated under the special su pervision of Spencer O. Fisher, dele-gate-at-large, and R. A. Montgomery, district delegate. These gentlemen come not only as a unit for Cleveland, but they have a favored son to place on the ticket with him. The chosen one is no other than Chief Justice Allen T. Morse of Ionia, Mich., the soldier who went back to the army with but one arm and for a year fought bravely. At the last election he beat Judge Thomas M. Cooley. the celebrated jurist, by 30,000 votes. His name will be presented by Edward F. Uhl6, an attorney of Detroit. Palmer and Morrison United. Cuicago, June 20. The Palmer and Morrison forces are said to be united for Cleveland. This is one point on which Illinois is united, and it is still believed that, standing firm to its in structions, the little band of forty eight may, under the leader ship of Stevenson, Grafts, Green, Cable, King, Cliase and Wortbington, prove the pivotal force in the conflict that shall Hank every movement of the opposition, land the ex-president at the head of the ticket, and demonstrate what the East is loth to acknowledge, that the center of political power of this nation has crossed the Alleghanies. Senator Brlce's Scheme. It is said that a scheme is being en gineered in the Ohio delegation to throw tbe full vote of' that state to ex Gov. Campbell on the first ballot Senator Krice is said to be back of it The friends of ex-Gov. Campbell still proclaim for Cleveland, and look with disgust on Sea ator lirice's alleged scheme. The astute chairman of the' National convention coauuttee is at heart a Goraaa T. and for this reason ex-Gov. Campbell and hut friends do not accept the prof f ered support of the Ohioaas as coraimr. ingood faith. Notwithstanding; the distrust and indifference of the Ohio ex-Uovernor and his friends, theTuap bell boom has tunmed substantia proportions. Taaimaar Urares Leaves New York.

"The dam is broken; fly foryour lives!" This alarm was giveu about 10 o'clock last night and in less than fifteen minutes the flood had reached the town, com pletely flooding cellars and stores and washing away the earth in the streets and the sidewalks. The great body of the water subsided quickly, but left in its track a scene of destruction and devastation. The streets are com pletely blocked with huge trees, tele graph poles, logs, stumps, wagons, carts and parts of houses brought by the roaring current When the flood had subsided the greatest fear among the people was fcr the miners underground, but so far no lives are reported lost there. It is impossible to reach the broken dam, as the water is knee deep in the track through which the raging torrent sped its course Rumors are flying in all directions as to the cumber of lives lost. Two people are . reported missing. The lower business portiou of the town was flooded aud nearly all the merchants had portions of their stock ruined. The exact cause of the dam bursting cannot be ascertained as yet The water running into town bad a muddy appearance all day, and it is alleged that the dam was weakening then. Others say that a cloudburst had hung over the dam all tbe evening, and the breastworks could not stand the strain of the heavy body of water and gave way before the mighty force. Scbaxto.v, Pa..

Chicago; June 20 Emmons Blaine is dead. The eldest son of the great ex-Secretary of State expired suddenly at his home, 13.1 Rush street at 11:1 " o'clock to-day of septicaemia (blood poisoning), due to disease of the bowels. Death came without-warning, and the Blaine family in tlie East have not been notified. The relatives here are prostrated with the shock and fear for the result when the sad news is re ceived by the veteran statesman who still believes his beloved son to be in health. cor several days Mr. Blaine has been slightly ailing, but did not consider himself sick. Monday he was about the city attendiug to his business. Tuesday he did not feel well aud re mained at home. Wednesday he was not any better. The next day he re mained in bed and yesterday his physician was in attendance uton KM.MONS HI.AIXK. dim but apprehended no .serious conse quences Not until last night diil the sick man's condition besome alarming. The McCoimick family were summoned to the house, and at midnight it became apparent that the sufferer was beyond earthly aid. Messages were dispatched to every part of the East in search of the father. No trace of him could be found. The last news from him was to the effect that he was contemplating a fishing excursion, but he failed to say in what part of New England he could be found. Telegrams sent to Bar Harbor, Boston. Augusta and New York re mained unanswered and at 1 o'clock to-day Mr. Blaine had not been noti fied of his son's death. By many it is thought Emmons Blaine's death is the result of his ef forts in his father's hehalf at Minne apolis. The blow will be a terrible one to the Maine statesman and his friends fear for the result Relations between father and sou were most affectionate and confidential. Mrs. Blaine, who is being cared for by her mother, Mrs. Cyrus McCormick, Sr., is said to be in a critical condition. When the end came and she realized that her husband was no more she fainted and it is said was with diffi culty revived. The shock was an awful blow to the family and. in fact, to the general public as well. The name that inspired so much enthusiasm at Minneapolis is dear to tbe people, and the news of this affliction sent sorrow to many a manly heart. Emmons Blaine was the second son of the ex-Secretary of State, James G. Blaine. He was well known in Chi cago, whore he lived for several years, part of the time as an official of the Santa Fe Railroad company. On the 26th of September, 1SS'., he was mar ried to Miss Anita McCormick, daughter of Mrs. Cyrus McCormick of this citv. The ceremony took place at Richland Springs, N. Y., and was attended by a large number of guests from all parts of the country. Shortly after his marriage Emmons Blaine went to Baltimore as the vice president of the Virginia Central rail road, but did not remain there long. For the last year or so he had been living at the house of his mother-in-law in this city, most of his business interests being here. Tlie New in Washington. Wasuinomon, June 20. The an nouncement from Chicago of the death of Emmons Blaine created a profound sensation here. The expressions of sympathy for Mr. and Mrs. Blaine in their great bereavement were univer sal and messages of condolence have already been sent from friends here to the grief stricken family. The Presi dent was promptly notiticd of the sad intelligence and was deeply moved. FACTS READING WILL ADMIT- An Attorney for the Combine Submits a Statement to Save Time. Hakrisburo, Pa., June 20. Yester day Attorney Olmstead, on behalf of the Reading railroad "combine," sub mitted, to Attorney General Hensel a full statement of the facts which the companies are willing to admit, deny ing that they are competent testimony and receiving all legal objections, but agreeing to their admission for purposes oi convenience and to save the time and trouble of an exhaustive examina tion of witnesses. Some important points in the case cannot be agreed upon and testimony will have to be taken on them.

The growth of the sub'urban dis tricts occupies relatively the same place to suburban population as the settlement of new land does to the agricultural population. If we com pare the old and settled agricultural districts to the old and thickly built wards of cities, it is much to be feared that we shall find that the population of the former has stood still or dimin ished, while that of the latter has steadily grown. When a city is the proud possessor of a set of boodle aldermen, it does not expel them from its honorable body, but gets them brought before the grand jury, and permits them to make its laws and receive its emol uments as usual, pending the determi nation of the question whether they shall continue the beneficiaries of en terprises desiring municipal privileges or guests at the state penitentiary. When a legislature is kuown to contain venal men, the remedy immediately thought of is to get rid of the legisla ture instead of the offending members. And as for members of congress, a proposition to expel one of them for immoral conduct, not directly violat ing the rules or proprieties of tho house, would be received with general astonishment COLUMBUS MARKETS. 2r-Onruaotationttof the market harenbtaintd Tuesday afternoon, and are correct anil reliable at tfiftirue.
