SOMETHING RICH.
From Dayen mort Gaza,ta

1t has been said that the anti.mo.
opoly State candidates are unknown.
10 winch the reply has come that
new men" are wanted. But there
is one exception wkich we hasten to
acknowledge. One candidate is
known, and is becoming better known
as his own eulogist. This "Col.
John Keatley," anti-monopoly can.
didate for Attorney General, who
halls from Council Bluffs, and whose
modest merit was blazoned for the
gaze of an unfeeling world in this
way:
From Council Bluffs Independent, June a.
"CoL. JOHN H. KEATLEY FOR ATToR.
NEY GENERAL.
"The frequent use of the name of
Col. John ID. Keatley for the office
OF Attorney General gives us great
pleasure. No man in Iowa who was
as thoroughly identified with the Re-
publican party, as he was, did more
to organize the Greeley movement.
Ills eloquent speeches in that mem.
orable canvass, his assiduity ard un-
firing industry, his prophetic warn.
ings of what we all see of the prosti.
tuition of public officers are we'll re.
membered by many who heard him.
AS a lawyer, he is fitted for the place.
His integrity is unquestioned. His
companions in arms attest his gal
lantry in the field, and his unflineh.
Ing courage in what he deems right,
is assurance that if nominated and
elected to this important and respon-
sible trust he will not betray it. He
has been the target of abuse of hire.
lings, but in all these attacks he has
stood firm and never swerved from
the line of duty. No man in Iowa
could poll such vote as he oan."
This was before the nomination of |
Mr.. Keatley. The next announce
ment, after the convention, was the
following:
From Council Bluffs Independent, July7
cit is needless, in Iowa, for US to
endorse Mr.. Keatley, when he is SO |
well and favorably known for his |
ability as alawyer, his popularity
among all classes even those po-
litically opposed to him, conoede
that in the Vermont of the west,
with its former majority of sixty
thousand Republican, his chances OF
election by the people are far better
than those of any opponent the Re-
publicans can this year nominate
The people of the State may expect
to hear his clarion voice before the
ides of October, in advocacy of the
party of honesty, purity and reform
in public life."
This is very nice-indeed, both the |
articles make Colonel Keatley out |
splendid fellow; but they are incom.
plete without the addition of the fol-
lowing from the same paper:
From Council Bluffs Independent. Julys
"ERRATA.-The very able articles
in the last two issues of our paper in
regard to Colonel j. H. Keatley for
Attorney General and the account OF
the anti-monopoly state convention,
ought to have been credited to Col
Keotley. Vexatious mistakes will
occur and no one is annoyed by
them more than the editor"
So Colonel keatley, the distin-
gulshed anti-monopoly candidate for
State Attorney General aorote him.
seTup. 1t was his facile pen that
complimented his stability as law
yer,' his "integrity," and "popularl-
ty," his eloquent speeches." his
"clarion voice." and all that. If he
does MT know, who does? But what
nominee for high state office !

GATES AT HOME.

From Jasper Free Press and Republican.
The nomination of E. N. Gates for
Congress by the Anti Monopoly Con-
vention was quite surprise to him,
to several other candidates, and the
people all over the district. True,
his name had been mentioned, but
not in manner to give it any prom
inence, and but for the persistent eff
forts of the Jasper delegation he
would not have fourth of the votes
of the convention. The plea that
he was farmer had great weight
with many, and the fact there was
towards dozen candidates materi-
ally aided his final victory. He is a
man of some ability, by far the rich
est man in Jasper county, lawyer
by profession, a speculator in gener-
al practice, a Democratic dema-
gogue in politics, a man who has
studiously made the Grange his step
ping stone to present political prom
inence, and man who never had a
feeling of sympathy for the people
who work for their daily bread. In
his personal intercourse with man
kind he is the courteous gentleman
in the business of life he is grasping
and avaricious, ever reaching for the
last possible dollar in every transac
ton, and seldom satisfied with his al.
most uninterrupted succession OF
successful speculations. An Anti.
Monopoly candidate for Congress,
who owns enough land to make Q
hundred comfortable farms, no doubt
he will go about the district in shah
by garb to impress his supporters
with the fitness of the farmer eandi
date to represent the interests of thu
masses. We expect he will be de
feated at the polls, and We know h.
ought to be. Look we'll to this mat
ter, voters, and do yeur duty.

"What time is it now ?" "It is II

"What time is it now ?" "It is II
minutes past o'clock, railway time
sun time is 13 minutes slower"
We walked around town and he
gave me the hour several times, cor
rectly each time within two or three
minutes. Several times he called
on citize0s of the place to attest the
truth of his statements, which they
did. One OF the leading citizens Of
the place told me he had tried
"Reub" on the time question on both
clear and cloudy days, and also on
dark nights, and he always gave the
correct time. Reuben asked the
gentleman we were talking with to
write down a column of figures,
which he did ; they were then read
to him, thirteen numbers, two figures
in each number, and he at once gave
their sum, and could repeat the num-
bers in the order in which they were
were written, either forward or back
ward.
The tax collector got Reuben to
look over his work last fall, and
Reuben said he could remember the
column and the sum yet. County
clerks have sent from Kansas for
him to help straighten their books.
A wholesale firm in Kansas City
heard Of him and sent for him TO do
some invoicing. He told them he
could do the work of ten men in
computations. They told
him If he could he should have the
pay of ten men. He mounted high
stool with the clerks around him, and
kept them giving the number of ar
ticles, price of each, and taking down |
his answers. They gave him $45 for
his days work. A firm in Fayette
vile selling out took an invoice of |
their goods. Reub was sick at the |
time, but they figured it out and sent
it to him he found a mistake Of
$500.

MACDElEN,

A mere girl;
One coarse curl
Falling on her shoulder;
Pale her cheek,
Her lips weak,
But her eyes were bolder.
She no saint,
Glaring paint
Daubed on every feature;
Gaudy dress
All could guess
A poor fallen creature.
For no good
There she stood,
No one passing near her,
Space kept wide,
Dress aside,
Women seemed to fear her.
Carriage crashed,
Horses dashed,
There was wild confusion;
People cried,
Terrified
At the mad intrusion.
Mid the crowd,
Shreking loud
In voice of terror,
A mother wild,
A little child
Lost by some strange error.
Ah! twas there
Its head bare
Mid those whirling forces,
In the street,
Meath the feet
Of the maddened horses.
Though all heard,
No one stirred,
Death would be the winner
One brave eye;
One sharp cry;
Twas the painted sinner!
Quicker then
Than pen
Could tell of half the danger
She risked her life,
Mid that strife,
To save little stranger.
And l thought.
As caught
A glimpse Of her pale features,
Mid the stains
Still remains
Some good in those poor creatures;
And that we
Should not be
So eager aye to shun them,
IF we can
Greet the man
Whose wrong hath undone them.

carpe enter's Story Continued,


New York, July 29.-The Argus
to-day concludes the Carpenter story
of the difficulty between Beecher
and Tilton. Oliver Johnson stated
before the Committee that Tilton
never charged Beecher with Grimm
ality. In his hearing Mr.. Carpen-
ter states that his first absolute con-
viction of adultery between Mrs.
Tilton and Beecher, was from Oliver
johnson, and says he can prove he
said "My lips are sealed by solemn
promise f; but, if | should disclose
what know, the roof of Plyn outh
Church would come right off. Car
penter say he accompanied Tilton
to DR.. Storrs for advice as to proper
action about the Woodruff state
ments." / have not read the state
ment made by Mrs. Woodruff, but if
you think it is of sufficient impor-
tance to merit attention, l will do
so. DIR. Storrs read Mrs. Woodhull's
story few days later when Tilton
visited him, and said to Mr.. Tilton
l have read this paper carefully, and
if its statement are true draw from
them four conclusions" Mr.. Tilton
asked, what conclusions DR..
Storrs then said, first, that Mr..
Beecher and Mrs. Tilton bad crimin.
al relations second, that you discov-
cred it f; third, Mr.. Beecher received
a paper from Mrs. Tilton denying
that such relations had existed and
fourth, Mr.. Moulton got that paper
from Mr.. Beecher. Mr.. Beecher
said, "Mr. Storrs, what if these
points can't be denied ?" DR.. Storrs
replied, eff these points can't be
denied l have no advice to give /; |
evasion would be worse than si-
lence. Tilton said to the DR.. that
he had not and could not tell him
him the whole truth.
Gen. Tracy said to-day that the |
committee expected to end the |
whole thing this week. Mr.. Moul-
ton, Mr.. Beecher, and one or two |
minor witnesses were all there to be |
examined.

MouIton Asked to Come to Taw.

The Brooklyn Eagle says: We
are informed and authorized to an
nounce that Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher has very recently written a
letter to Frank Moulton in which he
earnestly asks and adjures Mr.. Moul-
ton to go before the Committee and
exhibit all he has and tell all he
knows with reference to the matters
in controversy between Theodore
Tilton and Henry Ward Beecher.
This letter is declared to be long,
explicit and unmi3takable, and to
the effect that Beecher has no wish
and Mr.. Moulton no attentive but

mittee fully aud frankly to say all he
can say forthwith. This earnest let
ter of request from Mr.. Beecher,

band of music stirred up the excitement again. Crowds
rushed up the streets to Secondave thinking to ma

rushed in the open doors Of all the house7'

INCIDENTS OF TIE DAY.

While in the cells, Schwab and others of
the prisoners sang the "Marseillase" and songs OF
similar nature and called TO another 10 remain true
TO their principles and all would be well.
During the charge on the mob IN Tompkins-squarc

house on Avenue was occupied by several mon, who
were hro wing at the police in the street below
ordered Roundsman Grace aud Patrolman Farley to
drive the rioters off the roof The pOIeemen entered the
house. and after brief aud fierce struggle cleared tho
roof Of its occupants.
The leaders in the movement ere believed by the
police to be dangerous men. They followed prooa-
bly, by many deserving though gnorent men, as this
incident will testify: While Capt. Murr and Ser-
geant Robb were driving about 1900 men from tho
park gigantic fellow named Charles Miller attempted
to resist Oncer REAGAN, when he seized by Capt
Murphy Miller drew a short club and struck Sergeant
Ropb a severe blow the head. He was oVerpoWered,
though with difficulty, and taken the station-honso

broken English, For bread cot nothing III TWO
days"
When the riot begun. Alderman Peter Kchr was
riding on Avenue in a street and was recognized
by some person IN the crowd, who cried out "Ihere
goes Alderman Kehr." Several men rushed To tue car
pied stop the horses but the driver threat
ened to every who came III MS way anu
thus passed by the crowd.
Atnghtfall, appearances indicating that no further
trouble need be anticipated. ponce vigilance was grad
