POLITICAL

The Republican Situation in Towa.
DEsMo1sEs, Iowa, June 21.-The Republican
Convention OF Polk County was held here to-
day. J.. C. Jordon, nominated Senator Isaac
Brandt and William Madden, Representatives !:
George c. Baker, Auditor; Frank Laird, Treas
urer; and ". 8. Fisher. Sheriff. Resolutions we're
adopted demanding reform wherever evil exists;
repndiating corruption, deprecating credit,
Mobiller swindle condeminng Congressional
back-pay, demanding prompt relies from railroad
e1tortions, and just ma1umem in rate for the
transportation Of passenger aud freight, con-
dening free passes, claiming relief from patent
rights and monopolies OF all kinds. The resolu-
ton condeming the shack pay" did not ask q
r.peal Of the law. Quite number Of
delegates have arrived to the Republican
State Convention to DO held here on Wednesday
next. The attendance will probably be light, in
consequence Of full rates being charged by the
railroads. ALI the State officers will probably be
ronominated except Lieutenant Governor. A

NEW YORK, June 21.-A. B. Meacham, Chair
man OF the Peace Commission to treat with tho
Modocs, and who narrowl ly escaped the fato Of
his asscciatas Gen. Candy and Dir. Thomas, lB
in this city, on his way to Fort Klamath, where

ball through The wrist. The foretinger OF
his left hand isf. twice its natural size-
ThoEo still remains slight scar on
lump is on the right side Of his head. Other
vocnds, received on bis ear, inside, and olse-
where, have entirely healed His story Of tho
treachery which resulted in the daath of Gen.
Candy and Capt. Thomas is but rcitoration Of
that a1ready told. Mr. Meacham eays that him
self and tho other Commissioners had full in
formation of the fate in store for them, but as
Mesars. Candy and Thomas would not accept
the warning, he could not remain behind while
they went into danger. It was Capt. Jack who
Candy, while Old schorchin attended to him
self with pistol and knife. OF tho issue
OF the Forthcoming trial he expresses no
doubt that tho Modocs who participated
in the assassination will be convicted and
executed Tho eject Of virtual acquittal or par
don aftcr conviction would be disastrous, for,
with such result before their eyes, tho t,lrbu-
lcnce OF other tribes could not be restrained
while tho men who mastered the Modoc prison.
erB should be hanged. hlr. Meacham thinks, on
the same gallows with the Indian murderers.
During the war the Modocs killed and wounded
about three soldiers for every Warrior in their
force at no time numbering more than sixty
five, aud that during the first three days fight
this band not only held ont against 300 troops,
armed With evory appliance of modern warfare,
but kept e passage open for retreat, which even
the Warm Spring scouts could not close.
Mr. beacham~ advises that those who
are. not guilty of participation - in
the massacre e.. ne removed 10 TO @ ther
tribes would DO punishment to some only His
idea OF the best policy for the future is that au
tribal lines be abolished that the Indians be
made a.nenable to the laws, and be placed on tho
Same footing with other members Of the COM

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

It is about time q street-ear or stage, full Of
people, drove into the river at one Of the many
bridges crossed by these vehicles. There has
not been an accident OF the Find for ever 80
long, but if drivers and bridge-tenders are not
more careful there will be horrible sensation
and number Of bcreayed families ono of these
mornings. Yesterday afternoon the bell On tho
Clark street bridge rung, and heavy omnibus,
Full OF passengers, many Of them ladies, aud ono
Of them drunken man, Tas neatly half way
ccross When the bridge-tandors, with criminal
recklessness, began to turn the bridge,
and, although there WAS plenty Of time
for the vehicle to drive OF The bridge
they insisted upon turning it, and
taking the omnibus along. The ladies' were al
most scared to death, end well they might be-
for if they had been at one end Of the bridge it
might have tipped over and emptied them, the
omnibus, horses, harness. and all into the deep
and muddy river. Or suppose the horses took It
into th2i7 stupid heads to run AWAY. Fortunate
ly nothing Of the kind happened, but it j" might
Lare been" and then what satisfaction would
the relatives OF tho drowned people get? Such
br:dge-tc1dcrs arc unfit for their places, which
should be supplied BY better men. The men on
the CLARK street bridge are, in addition to their

THE WHISKY POINT MURDER.


developed the startling fact that the unknown
man who WAS found on Vest Chicago avenue, at
the Intersection Of that thoroughfaro with Whis-
Ky Point road, it would seem as it the detectives
had ceased to make any effort to ferret out the
perpetrators Of the crime discover the identity
Of their victim. Doubtless public curiosity has
been on the hp-toe to know what facts we're
being brought out, but it will quickly 20
down hat-footed when it is informed
that tho mystery has long since been
given up By the detectives as too dark for their
ingenuity to penetrate. Any one who has asso-
ciated with detectives in their work cannot but
have observed that, without an exception, they
all shirk work connected with tho solution Of 3
murder. It is difficult to understand the reason
of this. It may be because such cases seldom
promise anything except the honor Of clearing
baits to catch at. This may be tho reason why
the Whisky Point murder vas go quickly aban-
doned. But it is thought by some that
