"DOCKHORN."-Thosew who attended the County
Convention, last week, will understand and ap
preciate the allnsions to DOCKHoRN," and see the
point to the poem published Last week. "DOcK-
HORN, was the subject of good deal of sport, on
that occasion. 1t related to n Delegate who had
been chosen in the interest of one candidate but
an agent of an opposing candidate went to see
him, and fixed him all right; but the other side,
getting wind of it, convinced him that it was his
duty to start te see his friends in Missouri, by
daylight on the morning of the Convention. The
upshot was, "DoCKHoRN" failed to put in an ap-
pearance when needed. We wish to state that
the person alluded to was not HENRY A. DOCK
HORN, of Wathena, leading merchant Of that

SRERTF.-We understand that the Democratic
candidate for Sheriff is on his rounds, and has an
idea that every Republican who treats him civ
lily is going to vote for him. The number OF
genuine Republicans who vote for him, will be
f.w and far between. Among other things, his
hackers charge that MAQuILKEN is drunkar'i
aud a rowing character. As to drunkenness, all
the liquor he drinks in year would not make an
ordinary horn for Democrat in good standing
and MS for rowing, he has resided here for almost
fifteen years, and has rarely been away for any
other purpose than an occasional days hunting,
except about three years, when he was rowing
about the South, hunting rebels Can the De-
mocracy tell what portion of that time their can
didate was in the rebel army, and what portion
he was skedaddled TO that rebel land Of refuge,
Montana.

Missouri PACIFIc-The Missouri Pacific is q
good road-it has large eolored placar,ls posted
all over the country, announcing the fact-but a
great road like this, dependent upon all classes Of
people for patronage, should be impartial in its
business transactions and not discriminate against
the members of one great organization, while ex-
tending it's favors to all Others This road sold
tickets ut but little more than half fare to the
Kansas City Exposition, to the Masonic Grand
Lodge Of Kansas, and Grand Lodge of Good Temp
lars; but refused to make any deduction whatev-
er to the delegates to the Grand Lodge Of Odd
Fellows being the only road operating in the State
that refused to do So upon application being made
This act of meanness may not lose the road much
business, but will certainly not gain it any good
will.

THE PREss.-The Immortality of the press was,
perhaps never SO strikingly shown as in the fact
that, notwithstanding the complete destruction
of all the great daies in Chicago by the late fire
tered into their composition swept away
into utter annihilation, they have without excep-
ton rc-appeared, while yet the ashes are hot un-
der their feet, and the embers of the coniagra-
tion are smouldering all around them. This is
certainly the creation of life from under the very
ribs of death itself, and conveys some faint idea
of the deathless vigor and vitality which inhere
in that subtle essence2called "the press" and
which neither flood nor flames can destroy
Learenrortk Times.

LAwYERs.-There is not law Office nor law
library left in Chicago, except the few mall
duplicate libraries at the residences of the lead
ing lawyers. There is not paper showing that
there is suit pending in any Of the six courts Of
record in Cook County, including the federal
court. There is not an Indictment 10 existance in
the county against any one, not . Judgment, not
q petition in bankruptcy IN the federal courts.
Even the duplicate files that the lawyers kept in
their ofbccs Of ofimportant cases are all gone.

The ELECTIoNs.-The October elections show
better results, as the returns come in.
Ohio has given about 10000 Republican major
ity. The Senate is tie, and the House is largely
Republican.
Pennsylvania has given something in the neigh
fcrhood of $4,000 Republican majority, with a
Legislature strongly Republican.
Nothing definite from Iowa as yet, but there is
no doubt how she went.
Considering that this is the "off year" in poll
tics Democratic prospects look rather blue.
