sin.

The Democracy of the State of Illinois
have, in the action of the Wisconsin Dem
ocIatic State Convention, practical illus
tration of the disadvantages of holding a
late nomination convention. 1t was the
intention of the Democracy Of Illinois to
nominate Hon James r. Doolittle, of
Chicago, for Congressman-at-Large, but
the nominating convention having been
fixed for a remote day, the Democracy of
Wisconsin were able to slip in with lit
tie convention few days in advance, and
nominated Mr.. Doolittle for Governor OF
Wisconsin. The Democracy of Illinois
are certainly entitled to sympathy for be
ing made the victims of this species of
larceny, and it will probably impress them
with the Importance of holding, in future,
their nominating convention at an early
day, and bringing out their candidates be-
fore outsiders have an opportunity of cap
turing them. This action of the Wiscon-
sin Democracy illustrates the thievish pro.
pensities of the Democratic party The
Democracy of Wisconsin, possessing not
the ghost of a chance to achieve position
where 1t could plunder the treasury Of
Wisconsin, was still under the necessity
Of stealing something, for without stealing
it could not exist, and, being able to lay
lto hdluo Oh hpIuluS OloO, IOuCluuOu W
steal Mr.. Doolittle from the Illinois De-
mocracy-a piece of petty larceny for
which the law provides no penalty.
Mr. Doolittle, believing in the adsge
that II is quite as we'll "to be hung for an
old sheep as lamb" accepts the nomina,
ton OF the Democracy of Wisconsin. This
acceptance will meet with the hearty sp.
proval Of the people of our sister State,
who have desired an opportunity TO ex-
press their opinion Of Mr.. Doolittle's per,
tldy and demsgoguism, while representing
Wisconsin in the United States Senate.
We trust the fact Of Mr.. Doolittle's
residence in Chicago, will not he brought
into the canvass, for, In view of his chances,
It Is matter of no earthly consequences
whether he resides in the State or not

AS was to be expected, the Democracy are
not pleased with the success of the new
national loan. After pronouncing it fail
ure for many months, aud jubilating over
an anticipate d decline in public credit, it
was rather rough to be brought up with q
sudden jerk by finding the money practi-
cably obtained, and followed by large
advance in the price of bonds. Having so
ANONYMOUSLY tailed as prophets of evil,
the next step, naturally, is TO abuse the
loan for succeeding Il has ben suddenly
discovered that depositing these securities
on sale in national repositories is a sin of
aTjeyous proportions, and that the contract
el-.,o,od inrrJTvssQ, have them delivered, after
enoefat U fTst ten milli0Es. taken at once, in lots

sS 'hS Lon at all If it is not, what ere they

con- COMP announces, and as the Democracy
tasS hnOw, where is the reason for scold-
mgr The fact that interest will accumu.
late on the new bonds amounts to nothing,
because the money is used to stop the pay

ones. Is it possible for the Administra-

FRICTION matches are as common as
nails, but probably very small proportion
OF those who use them understand the
principle on which they operate. 1t is, In
fact a very simple affair. The tip of the
match Is combination of sulphur and
phosphorus. The phosphorus ignites at
heat of 1870 degrees, which slight fric-
tion will produce, and this in turn ignites
the sulphur, which requires 450 to 500 de-
grses. The fame of the sulphur sets fire
70 the pine wood Of which the match is
composed, and which ignites at about 900
degrees The combination Is necessary
because the phosphorus alone would not
kindle the match, while the sulphur alone
would rot ignite, with thS ordinary frio-
tion.

Abor. .s a quarter of o'clock this morning an
ala. IN of are was sounded, caused by the burn
spp of A stable situated on Ellis street, in the
rear of No 622 North Ninth street, and attached
to Rhe coal yard of William Taylor. The build
ing was of frame, and contained at the time, in
addition to harness and other goods, two horses
that persisted in the flames, though oil efforts
were made to save tLcm.
On the south of the stable burned was another,
occupied by Cummings & Taylor which, how
ever escaped without damage.
On the north was stable, also attached to
the 'ccal-yard of Francis j. OFT, whose Office is
at the corner of Ninth and Wallace streets.
Though the flames communicated to the cor
nice, they we're eXtinguished before any serious
damage was done to that portion.
On the west side of Ellis street is q row OF
three-story houses, and such was the fury with
which the flames burned for time that only the
most strenuous endeavors of the fremen pre-
vented a disastrous conhagration, the inmates
being obliged to leave them in hot haste.
The loss sustained by Mr. Taylor is estimated
at about $1,000, the horses burned being valued
at about $300-partially covered by insurance
The adjoining property suffered but little, ex.
'cept in the way of good scorching. The fire
was evidently the work of an incendiary and
will be investigated.
