Unsatisfactory Republican Nominations.
Despatch to The Egeni1ig Telegraph.
CHICAGO, Sept 16.-The result of the County Re
publican nominations yesterday gives much dissatis
faction, and Of the Republican papers cordially
endorse them New tickets will doubtless be placed
in the field, which will make Democratic victory in
November not improbable.
The Tribune this morning says:-The Republican
County Convention met yesterday, nominated
ticket, and adopted a set OF resolutions The una
nimity with which the delegates TO the convention
were elected, shows that there is body of Repuol
cans in the background who did not participate 0
the proceedings, and were not represented In the
convention. There will undoubtedly be an oppos-
part we shall wait to see what kind Of ticket is
offered to us by the other wing Of the Republican
party, or what shape the opposition movement takes

Despatch to The Egeniag Telegraph.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 15.-The city residence of Mr.
Briggs Swift was entered at an early hour yesterday
morning by burglars. The thieves secured in the
house bunch of keys three in number; with these
Keys they gained admission to the interior OF the
safe in Mr.. Swift's pork house, and made their
escape with Sls60 in cash and $4,000 worth of notes
belonging TO Mr. Swift. They evidently hurried
from the residence on Eighth street to the pork
house, passed themselves in, locked the door,
opened both doors Of the safe, and made their
search in perfect safety. They took from its corner
a tin box, which, apparently without opening, they
laid down again in another place.
1t contained ten thousand dollars in bonds Of
which no note OF numbers had been made, equal
therefore, TO $4,000 in cash: from cash drawer
they took $3.50; from another drawer they
took bundles OF paper, representing to Mr.. Swift
hundred and seventy odd thousand dollars, and with
these and the cash in their possession made their
escape taking the duplicate KEYS with them. The
list of bills receivable stolen includes notes drawn in
favor of Briggs Swift and by many Of our most prom-
n5nt ana wealthy commission lnen; vi these Is
for S26C00 two for 100000 each, several for $4,000
and $1,000 each, and the twenty others in smaller
sums.
