Patrick Casey of TheJMonitcur 'Universal '
who ia strongly in favor of the dynamit
policy , ami strongly upholds the Iris
anvinoibles in the doctrines they avow
and the courao they pursue. IIo do
clnros it probable that _ the dynamit
will be extended to blowing up the At
lantio passenger steamers und merchant
men , thus ruining England's commerce
'atncs Stephens , formerly funiau hea <
eantro , however , condemns the princi
pies end practices of the dynamiter
and advpraces an armed revolution
The continuance of the dynamite policy
ho thinks , means certain death to revo
lutionuy agitation during the presen
generation , and perhaps forover. Ic ma ;
besides this load to the expulition o
Irishmen from England. John O'Leary
formerly editor of The Irish People
likewise disapproves of the dynamit
\ policy , on tha ground of its inexpediency
and criminal character , Ho favors ope
rebellion between England , and IliiBsia
ho thinks , would give the Irish a chance
to strike an effective blow. II
TITOS eoriy to say the peopl
in America were not apverso to the em
ployment of dynamite. Father Hogan
ot St. Sulpice Calholio college , thuik
xploslons do Ireland no good , but alien-
to from the Irish cause many honest
ooplorlio would outhorwiso support it.
'Tho action of dynamiters , " ho declares ,
s morally a crime , politically a blunder ,
nd socially a disastsr. Ireland will got
ionic rule in the course of timo. If the
ocont concession had boon granted some
cars ago Ireland would now bo happy.
'f the Irish now got fair piny Ireland in
few years will bo ono of the most proa-
orouo countries in Europe. "

DunuquE , IO\VA , April 21. All the
democratic county conventions for the
appointment of delegates to the state
convention at Burlington on Thursday
have now boon held , and the preference
for Tildon is not only overwhelming but
unanimous. Every county in the state
that has instructed at all has done so for
him. The fooling is for "tho old ticket , "
though the sentiment for Hondricks is
by no moans BO strong as for Tildon.
The following counties , among others ,
gave instructions for him , in most of
thorn by unanimous vote :
Blackhawk , Buchanan , Buonn Vista ,
CarroU , Jasper , Lee , Polk , Pottawatta-
mio and Webster.
. .Tho following send delegations favor
ing Tildon , but uninstructed :
Broaier , Dubuque , Floyd , Johnson ,
Jones , Linn , Poweshiek , Scott and
Winncahiok.
Out of 21 counties taken at random
with 195 delegates , not leas than 177 are
either instructed for "Tildon or favor
him. This is a fair index of the whole
convention. Not a county in the state
has instructed for any other man.
The state convention promises to bo
the largest over hold by the democrats in
the state , and will be solid for Tildenbut
still it is probabfo the delegation will go
uninstructed , as Iowa democrats have
always thought it policy not to qivo in-
etructions.
DAVENPOUT , la , April 21. The derao
crata this evening will publish a full
canvass of the state on the domocratlo
choice for president. The chairman of
the contra ! committee or other leading
democrats in three fourtds of the couple's
of the state make repom.of a iargo
majority for the old ticfcvt 61 Tildon and
Hondricks. It may bo said this senti
ment is practically Solid. For second
choice Senator McDonald of Indiana is
the favorite. The popular sentiment ,
as reflected is clearly for revenue re
form.

roctions by hundreds. A minors' union
has boon formed. The district has been

Leading mining men are becoming con
vinced that the discoveries are genuine ,
and tho.most important in the history of
the state. Loadvillo a charge of salting
is believed to bo groundless and malicious.
The Tribune's representative telegraphs
to-night : It is not strictly placer ground ;
ic is good bearing gravel in gulches , in
some places cemented into a hard mass
like rock , while others are quite free. The
colors often obtained by washing bear a
strong resemblance to the dry 'pincers of
Now Mexico. Most of the gold is in
combination , but the combination is not
uniformly chemical. The best opinion
now is that the placers will provo of only
secondary importance compared with the
lodes sure to bo developed The district
is very largely rock volcanic , all charged
with mineral. The district is certainly
of great possibilities. Several assays
have been made , and average abeut forty
ounces of gold , with n trace of silver.
Some have run much higher.

ornoilson had no roaaon for his assault
oyond his excited fancy that Hold had
vrongcd him , while from every aide
omoa comments indicating that public
entimont regards Reid as a coward
'oUtical ' fooling for and against Reid's
andidacy for , the court of appeals has
nkon hold of the aflhir , and at Mt. Ster-
ng Into last night Corncilson was hang
d in effigy.
To-day A. E. Richards , a colleague of
loid's on the supreme bench , stopped
nto the quarrnl by publishing a note to
loid , to the effect that ho , Richards , was
IQcially and personally responsible for
liu decision against Corncilson and for
ho comment derogatory to that pcraon
n the court's opinion. Richards is a
nan of high character , cool and quiet
tut a "eingod cat" in a Cght. Ho was a
onfodorati1 and served with Early and
lorgan and rose from the ranks to ma-
or for gallantry on the fiold.
REID'S WIFE THREATENS COUNKILSON.
Roid'a wife , who is an ambitious and
ourageous woman , has threatened , it is
aid , to kill Oornoilson if her husband
oos not do so- There are suggestions of
it duo ] , but none is likely to occur. Reid
s now a mass of bruises and welts from
'ornoilson's ' savagp blows , und at present
s , of course , physically incapacitated to
ako action of any kind.
At the state capital and all through
ho Blue Grass region the excitomontis
at the highest pitch , and an indignation
mooting of Reid's friends was called to
night at Mt. Sterling A great crowd
assembled in the streets , many on horse-
jack , and it was some time before order
was secured.
Numbers of men rode jeoringty around
, ho "body" of Cornoilson , which wai
langod in oQigy last night from a tree
near the court house.
THE WORK OF BEST CITIZENS.
It was discovered that the following
placard has boon affixed to the etligy :
"John J. Oornoilson. The person who
cuts this down , this , the 18th day of
April , before 12 o'clock will bo treated in
like manner ( Signed ) "Best Citizens. "
A telephone message from Owingsvillo
from a number of IlcTd's friends eajs to :
"Fight or withdraw from the race for
judge of the court of nppeaU. "
Oulonpl Thomas A , Pooro is hero and
wjll testify that the marginal notes on
the record reflecting on Oornoilson are in
the writing of Judge * Bowdott and Rich
ards , and not in Reid's , an vras suspected
to bo the cose at first. Several friends of
Reid were expected to decide a plan of
action to-day , but the result is , as yet , a
matter of speculation.
Cornoilson is calm nnd tmys hois biding
his time , and that ho will substantiate
hio charge against Reid. It in not known
what effect Judge Richards' letter mil
have , but , from the expressions of opin
ion , it is thought that ho is premature
and that the issue is a private ono bet
ween Reid and Oornoilson.
