Call for a Republican Convention In
This Districts

This DIstrtcts
As will be seen by an announcement in
this mornings paper from the Chairman
Of the Republican Congressional Commit.
tee Of this District, convention 10 called
to meet in this city on Thursday, the Sd
day Of September, for the purpose oI
nominating a candidate for Congress,
The call Is addressed not only to the Re.
publcans Of the District, but TO oil who
feel inclined TO cooperate with them in
the good work Of freeing the people from
the rule Of the Ring Democracy and de
ieating the Ellenboro nominee.
This call Is issued in pursuance Of CON
ference held at Grafton on last Saturday
between the Congressional Committee
and q tnumber Of Republicans from We
riouS parts Of the District. The conferees
were Of the opinion that the hour had
come to strike q telling blow against the
reactionary party that has since 1870 en-.
tailed upon. us 80 much useless, expensive
and disgraceiul legislation, and that now
threatens to follow up the elelection Of
HENRY u. DAvIs as United States sen'
ator with an other election Of the same
sort by the same corrupt influence next
winter.
Al =
The opponents ot the King combined
together In 1879 and achieved q glorious
victory in this District. 1t Is believed
that they can do the same thing as against
the same man this fall, provided they
stand together as they did in that men,
orble contest. 1t is expected that the
convention that Is called to meet here in
September will give to the people a dii-
terent style Of man to vote far sS compar.
ed with the Ellenooro nominee, Were
loice that the people OF this District are
mol SO welded to party that character Is
an element which they iail to recognize
Ina candidate The result in 1879 showed
that they are capable Of disregarding
party ties when occasion demands It.
And yet, Notwithstanding the result of
that year, the same men have again thrust
upon the District the same candidate. The
great Napoleon said that Bourbons were
incapable Of admonition by experience.
There was but one way to deal with
them, and that was to dethrone them.
Let the same men who dethroned the
BOurbons Of this District in 1872 again
rebuke their defiance Of public opinion in
1874.

Our friend, THOMAS: ::HoRNBRooK, sent
US on Saturday from his gardens in the
country, two beautiful bouquets, the
largest and most artistic that we have
seen this season. In the matter of flow

FA1sTAHF In the matter of wit. He Is
not only florist himself, but he is go
given to cutting and distributing these
delicate fsvors among his numerous
friends, that they too are being educa ted
up TO an artistic standpoint. Lille is too
short for newspaper man to become a
specialist in anything, but when we look
upon the beautiful pyramid before US VIC

of hanging garden on the roof where
we can go and gather inspiration when

hundred men, two hundred mounted ant
one hundred on foot, all armed with pis
tolls and sabres. After he was taken ou
oil the Jail the crowd was clamorous, anC
wanted to hang him at every lamp pos
they came to. When they came opposite
Sheriff Thomas house, the mob gave
three cheers for the Sheriff as 0 man whom
they said had done his duty. t. a
Further on, when the mob came TO Mr.
Busey's house, who had favored the &C.
quittal and hung the Jury at the frst trial
oil Taliaferro, and against whom there
has been much feeling expressed, there
were manifestations Of vengeance, and
many Of the mob proposed that they
should stop and hang Taliierro on this

however, was overruled by those in com.

THE soRNR OF DEATH.
Tho wretched man was taken over to
the Warm Spring Road, and here the mob
formed q circle around him, and one
stepped forward and said: "John Toliver,
We are now waiting TO hear your con-
lession."
The poor wretch replied, Gentlemen,
| am innocent of this crime. On that day
| was at Mr.. Tice'S, and"
Here he was interrupted by the mob
"John Toliver, We are waiting TO hear
your confession"
Again he replied, Gentlemen, / am in
nocent OF this crime"
Then there was short pause, and Toll!
yer (this 10 the correct name, although he
has been called TaliIerro), said, "Wiil you
permit me to pray"
Those around said, "Yes, we grant
you ten minutes to make your peace with
God"
The poor creature then prayed substau.
TALLY as follows: "0hI merciiul and
heavenly Father, am called before you
this evening to answer for a crime which
Thou knowest I am innocent Of; and oh,
kind and mercilul Father, in Thy good
ness and mercy pardon me for the sins l
have committed during my life Oh,
mercitul Father, pardon my executioners,
Tor they know not what they do; and oh |!
| do pray that little Annie Butler is in
heaven. I know she looks down this
night and plties me; and now may the
blessing Of God rest on all my fellow
mortals."
Alter the prayer he was questioned by a
minister, whose name ! have not been
able 10 learn, in regard to his fitness for
death. he said he knew he was a sinner,
but be felt prepared to die. He was then
driven under tree, and a rope placed
around his neck, which was then attached
to tree. fFf, aGIH T VI
BE was then told to stand up, and asked
John Toliver, will you now confess your
guilt, or will you go 10 perdition with q
lie on your lips"
The reply was once more, gentlemen,
am innocent OF this crime" -iEf
Then the order was given to drive the
buggy from under him. As they were
doing this several said, Goodbye, Toll

Farewell, gentlemen" .gsH

Sudden Death.

Last evening few minutes after 8
o'clock Mr.. J. M. Smalley, guest of
the Clarendon Hotel, was stricken
with apoplexy and died within half
an hour. He was apparently in the
best of health few moments before the
occurrence and had been walking upon
the street and about the hotel. Going
to his room, he lay down upon the
bed, when he was shortly attacked
with an apopleptic fit and expired be-
fore any medical assistance could be
rendered, physician arrived only in
time to see him breathe his last. Mr..
Smalley wasa United States Detective
and came from Burlington, Vermont,
where his father is Judge upon the
Supreme bench. He was middle
aged and apparently in the full
vigor of manhood. He leaves a
wife and three children who were
at the hotel and in the room with him
at the time of his death. The blow
which has thus fallen upon them is as
terrible as tits sudden-a husband and
father torn from them without mo-
ment's warning; in their very pres
ence and yet deprived of the privilege
of saying last farewell. We under
stand that the deceased was Mason,
and the bereaved family will doubtless
receive kind attentions from that fra
ternity, and upon the departed brother
the last sad rites will be bestowed.
Asmall frame building on Spring
street, opposite Turn Verein Hall, was
burned, about o'clock yesterday
morning. 1t was occupied as laun-
dry by ono Hung Shing and his force
of Cinnamon. The building was owned
by Mr.. S. G. Foy and was worth about
$3.50; no insurance. A considerable
quantity of linen in the hands of the
Cinnamon to be washed was destroyed,
as the occupants, on the first alarm,
fled from the house without attempt
ing to save anything. The fire proba-
bly, originated through carelessness on
the part of the tenants. The state
ment in last evenings paper that
all the fires had been put out in the
house for hours before the occurrence
was incorrect, as our reporter passed
about o'clock and saw lights burning
within at that time.
The District Court yesterday ad-
mitted the following named persons to
citizenship: Pierre Manherret, Emile
Iafebere, Auguste Blanc, Germaine
Roussin, natives of France; Charles
Cocktails and Jean Colsen, natives of
Belgium; Fred. Schmidt, native of
Germany, and Prefecto Gonzales, a
native of Mexico. No further busi-
ness was transacted by the Court.
No business was transacted in the
County or Probate Court yesterday.
