Fisk coming up stairs ; he made rush, and
when he got to the platform he pulled out
his pistol could not by any possibility be
mistaken; | saw it as plain as anything I
ever saw it was silver-mounted pistol

aside and said "Don't fire." and pulled out
my own pistol and fired I had it in nv

time enough to draw. | leaned on the rail
and cooked it with one hand and fired. He
held his pistol in both hands, and as [ fred
he cried. "Oh " He did't stagger much

The Republican Congressional District
Convention, which was held in this City on
Wednesday last, failed to nominate Can
didate for Congress. This is ominous.-
There can be but three reasons for this
course The Republicans are in large
minority in this District and can not hope
to elect Congressman, unless the number
of Conservative Candidates in the District
SO split up the Conservative vote, as to eqa-
BILE them to slip in their Candidate. This
is reason No. 1, and is an item for the con-
siderstion of the Conservative party.
The second is that they fear if they make
Congressional nomination they will arouse
sufficient local opposition to bring out full
vote against, not only their Congressional
Nominee, but also against President Grant.
But OF as great importance as any is the
third treason end we warn Conservatives
against it especially. They may make no
nomination, even at the heel Of the game.
with most sinister object in view. If the
field be open and six or eight Conservatives
running, when the canvass gets up to red
hot heat, they having no preference, will
endeavor to secure votes for Grant BY ira.
ding Republican votes for any of the Con-
servatiEe Candidates. 1t makes no differ.
ence to them, in that case, who they vote
for, and. if, by giving vote to any Con-
servative Candidate for Congress, they can
secure an additional vote for Grant. who can
doubt they viii do SO 1t will virtually be
one Republican casting two votes for Grant.
Y1his is a game much played in this country
and we take this occasion to warn Conserva,
siges in time lest they fall into THIS trap
1t behooyes Conservatives to think Of
