Supposed Murder.

CHICAGO, August Nothing has yet
been heard of Steiner, the late manager
Of the French Band concerts. but it is
now the theory with some that he was
robbed and murdered. He was seen
driving to the depot Saturday night,
having taken into his carriage stran.
ger, who stopped him on the way and
asked to be allowed to ride, as he was
trying to catch train and couldn't get
q carriage. The bridge tender saw q
body floating in the river on Tuesday
night, but was unable to get it. He,
however, fished off a light coat, which
he lost before getting to shore, but
which is believed to be the light sum-
mer overcoat which Steiner was &C.
customed to wear.
Time Reduced.

They APPROAcH.-NextT Tuesday zoe
tober 9Th. the state elections of Indiana,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa and Nebraska
take place. Most favorable returns have
been received from each Of these states,
and the political air is fragrant with Re.
publicanism. It has been noticed of late
that Greeleyism has about come to its
last ditch, and II it loses any two ofthese
states, the supposed colossal temple cree
ted BY Shurz, Brown, and others, at Gin
cinnat,, will be thrown down in complete
RUIN. Greeley, initiating many who
have been unsuccessful aspirants for the
Presidency, has been " swinging around
the circle" bat he fails to make tho i'm.
preston desired. The campaign on the
part Of the Republicans has been con.
Quoted with vigor, and, we opine, its eff
feet upon the coming elections will bs
glorionsly decisive.

WHAr1-As one ofthe sovereigns" we
earnestly recommend that \ move be
made in the county Republican conven-
ton, aext Saturday, expressing the SEN
timc.at of the convention on the Pomer-
oy-anti- Pomeroy issue. Saline coanty
should place herself upon the record upon
this question, and the Republican party
can not ignore it with ,mpunity. There
should be no gagginy down, a. there wa.
in the case Of the anti Pomercv resoIu-
tons passed by the Grant club some
time ago. And. BY the by, is it not about
time those resolutions were Published .

Friday proposition was made to the
friends Of Captain Mohler that the
Crawford county system Of voting should
be adopted in this precinct. Most Of his
friends acceded to it. The Captain him
self refused to adopt it and the project
was abandoned. Our readers probably
understand the system. The names Of
all the candidates are placed on one del

primaries. Those receiving the mos
votes are declared to be the choice Of tht
people and for them the delegates are
instr icted. Had this fair plan beer
agreed upon, J. e. Mohler would have
never been nominated. As it is now
his nomination is almost certain. Hi
ticket was carried through by the per
sonal strength of other candidates whom
this ticket Of delegates will support. Thu
opposition will boast OF their victory
Saturday, Of course, but they must re
;, member that it was done by the popu
larity Of others besides the county at

We arc we'll satisfied that the anti-MOh
Ter ticket was probably the best delegate
ticket in the main ever put in the field
and its supporters were not ashamed o
their work.

This campaign is producing some very
surprising results, and certainly one of
the most surprising that could take place
would be q majority in the State Of Del
aware for Grant. And yet, incredible
as it may seem, that result, We are as
sured, is by no means improbable. We
can spare the three votes Of Delaware,
and do not count them in making up the
assurance of overwhelming victory but
that such result could seem possible
shows how mighty is the tide against

A PREcEDENr.-DOuglas county has q

ceives salary of only twelve hundred
dollars a year. In the celebrated Med
licott case, the particulars of which were
recorded all over the United States. the
commissioners of Douglas county allo r.
cd the prosecuting attorney the sum of
five hundred dollars as additional CON-
pensaticn, the most OF which was used by
him in procuring testimony for the pros
ecution outside OF Kansas. A greatcom-
motion was created in that county over
the allowance of the bill, and n protest
was entered on account OF its "unjust.
ness" We hear, also, that this amount
has been deducted from the attorney &
salary for this year BY a new board Of
commissioners. In Saline county, which
does not contain much over five thous.
and inhabitants, whose county attorney
receives one thousand dollars . year for
salary, the sum If FIVE hundred dollars
is given him in the Harvey case where
no incurred no expenses other than fol-
board and travelling once or twice to

NOMINATE GoeD MEN.

We hope the convention, which meets
at the court house Saturday, will nomi-
nate good Republicans and honest men
for the several position to be filled. We
have had our cay" about the candidate
tor county attorney and hope thSsdele-
gates, in the convention assembled, will
repudiate one whom most of them we'll
know is not tho choice Of the people,
but who is working Heaven and Earth
to get the nomination. We hope the
delegates from the country will have
stamina enough to remain firm against
the entrcatics as well as threats Of him
and his friends, vote against him and
show their manhood, even if they know
he has positive st: ength to secure his
nomination without them. the time
will come when they will be satisfied
that they did right, when they voted in
a convention against J. G. MohIer for
county attorney. When they vote for u
representative, let them vote for man
who is not ever ready and willing to sell
himseIffor his own aggrandizement orfor
money. When they vote for clerk of
the district court, let them vote for q
man qualified for the position, and who
has not tied himself to the cOat-tail OF a
ring to secure the nomination. When
they vote tor judge Of the probate
court, let them vote for man who is
thoroughly posted in the law and who
is not an office seeker by education, in
clination and practice. If agood ticket
is put forth, good Republican majori-
ty will be given in the county. We
want good men and good ticket.

SHAME.-Onc of the means used by
the present county attorney to secure
votes i'm his favor, 50 it is said, was his
representing to certain well-kn W n
friends Of Wallace, that off they voted
tor Il. W. Hodgkinson for county attor-
ney, they voted for the murderer of
John +. Wallace" This species ofclcc-
pioneering is contemplate, and Only a
depraved person would indulge in it.
Such an attorney should be spurned by
the whole bar. Mr.. Hodgkinson only
did his duty rs an attorney when, en-
ployed as counsel for Harvey, he used
all honrable means to secure his client's
acquittal. Mr.. Mohler would probably
have conducted himself much less fairly
than Mr.. Hodgkinson in the suit, had he
been retained by Harvey. Ii Mr.. Moh-
Ter had shown more zeal in trying to
convict many other criminals who have
been discharged since he has been in Of
fee, the people would be better prepared
to say that he has not been trying to
manufacture political capital for himself
out Of the Harvey suit.
