Omo.-The Davenport Iowa) DEM
Graf, the leading Democratic paper in
Iowa and one that has battled hard
and prospered in the very center of
the powers of Radicaiism during many
years past, speaks thus of the Ohio
Democratic platform:
" 1t is a good thing to see dead is
sues buried out of sight. So thought
the Ohio Democracy Mt their recent
convention, hence we see nothing of
the dead past in its excellent platform.
Iowa Democracy adopted the same
policy year ago. AS did those of
several other states. The party by
townships, counties, states, and all
over the nation has more important
duties than to be trying to squeeze sap
out of dead trees. There are living
issues enough-very important ones
claim all the attention, ali the
effort of the Democracy for years to
come. Let the dead rest talk sense
TO the living"

between J. 4. Abbott, more iamiliarly
known us Asa Abbott, who lives on a
ranch on Upper Payette Valley, and a
young man named David Fl. IIannor,
who for some tine past has been cngag-
ed in mining on Granite Creek or in that
vicinity. The parties had not met for
informed, the bitter feeling between them
became more intensified in consequence
of some rough language made use of by
j. A. Abbott in the Democratic County
Convention, which met at Centcrville on
the 23d Of last April, when Hannor's
name was placed before the Conven-
ton for the nomination for School Super
intendcnt. Asa Abbott and his brother,
VIM. NJ. Abbott, and one - Curlen,
who has been in the employ of the Alb.
bolts at their rancho. came to Placcrville,
which is about twelve miles distant from
the rancho, and they met young Hannor
in the plaza, near the store of Mr.. VIM.
Lynch. Some words were exchanged
between Asa Abbott aud Hanor, the for.
mcr standing by his mule, while VIM.
Abbott was standing near Hannor talk
ing to him also, Curlcn being off some
what to ono side during the conversation.
Hanor stepped forward and pistols we're
drawn. Hannor was shot in tho back Of
the head, the ball penetrating his byain,
and another shot, fred by Asa Abbott,
struck him in the center of the forehead.
Hannor managed to fire twice at Asa Alb
bott and the third time his pistol went
off into the ground as be fell Asa Alb
bott fired some three or four shots alto.
gether, and one ball. which was intended
for Hannor, took effect 10 the body Of
VIM. Abbott, who was standing in the
rcar Of Hannor, striking him about the
center of the abdomen. Hannor died
almost instantly and VIM. Abbott linger-
ID until about IL o'clock, p. NJ, when he
llso expired. Curlen, though he had his
pistol out, we arc informed did not FIRE,
omc one interfering to prevent him.
These are about the main facts in regard |
Q this terrible affair, as we have received
hem from persons who were there.

WHAT THEY THINK OF TT.


sThe Roseburg Ensign looks in con-
siderable alarm upon the proposition
to amend the Constitution SO as to in
crease the salaries of the Governor and
the Supreme Judges. It says:
Now that thcx have saccccde,i, those pro.cs.
sians are forgottcne and they seem 10 rogard any
species Of legitimate plander as being within
the scope: Of eaieial license. Such has been
tho history of Democratic success on this
csast. Sdch. .rass tho course Of that party when.

sxtrsvagance. Let those who have been led TO
look upon the Democratic party Us the party of
pra6e .ce and economy take note of These ihins...
If the editor quoted from, and there
are others in his party like him, will
take the trouble to examine the State
Constitution, he will see that there
can be no increase of salaries except
by amendment to that instrument and
that an amendment can not be made
SO as to effect the salary of any Demo-
crat chosen at the election just past.
Any amendment must pass not only
the next ensuing Assembly, but the
one following that, and after all this.
must still be submitted to the people.
30 there Is no accession for any alarm
ON the part of the very economical
Radical party. There can be no
"plundering" done unless the people
vote to have it done at two successive
elections, and we feel sure that no Mt
tempt at partisan extravaganza that
the Democratic party might attempt.
could pass the oadeal of these elections
while such an able and vigilant cham

Ensign, exists. There is this, further:
The Radical party is so very confident
OF carrying the State two years hence,

earnestly we shall urge the amend
