TnE FINANCIAL sKELETON.
The Illinois delegation held u long
session this afternoon and discussed
the financial question most OF the time.
The delegation seemed to be about
equally divided between hard aud soft
money, but settled IN the conviction
that II compromise will be necessary II
anything Ia said in the platform on
the money question. j. n. McClel-
land who WIS selected FROM the com
mlttee ON resolutions, expressed him
self In favor OF the repeal Of the re-
sumption act, hut M In favor also
of specie payment.
There IL likely 10 be fierce light on
the money question, as prominent
greenOack men like Voorhees,, of In
diana, and Eaton, Of Ohio, have been
appointed on the Committee ON Beso-
lutions. In the Ohio delegation there
was u protracted light which resulted
In The selection OF Hon, Thomas Ew-
log by twenty.three votes. This ques-
ton is 20 much feared that u number
of delegates are urging the propriety OF
saying nothing on the money question
in The platform.
OF the territories only Colorado will
be permitted TO participate in the pro.

A Haa BARBER.

Although Joseph Blau, the barber o
Vine street, was dismissed from custo
dy this morning, as no one appeared
against him, he was wanted badly by
the authorities of In dianapolis, and had
the detective, Stephens, who was sent
for him, acted his part better he would
nave been on his way to the scene of his
moral depredations by this time.
About an hour after he was released,
Prosecuting Attorney Reamy, from that
city, appeared at the City Buildings and
expressed himself much surprised at the
lack Of astuteness manifested by Ste-
phens. Reamy came armed with a requi-
siLion for Blau, and if the festive barDer
has not already jumped the town he will
be Immediately rearrested.
From conversation had with Mr..
Reamy we learn that Blau, who is not
more than twenty years OF age, is a bad
boy, and when taken will be called upon
70 answer the charges of abduction and
seduction preferred by a Miss Russell,
aged fourteen, with whom he has lived
in open adultery for some time. Had
there been any person in the Police
Court to say q word against Blaus dis.
missal this morning he would have been
retained, but in the absence OF charges
he could not legally be held.
