The telegraph informs us that cold
Jake Nunnemacher, Of Milwaukee
the champion crooked whisky mar
of the world, has just been fined $lO,.
600 and sent to the common Jail OF
his county for five months. A few
years ago, an impecunious butcher
then a one-horse distiller, during
Andy Johnson's reign Of official
thicvery, this old patriot was en-
ablcd not long ago, to retire from the
distillcry business with town lots,
banks, opera houses and stores by the
mile, estimated to be worth 81, OOO, 600.
The public will, perhaps, be aston
ished at the lightness of his sentence,
but then it must remember that there
is no particular sensation in hunting
down a common distillery thief who
has simply stolen millions Of money
and debauched every officer assigned
to his distiIlery.
If he had been some poor impecun
ious devil of a storekeepcr, who had
winked at irregularities on $4sfer
day, he would probably have got
twice as much fine and gone twice as
long to the penitentiary, instead OF
nominally to the county Jail. The
public will probably find ont before
long that none of the really great
criminals at Chicago, Milwaukee or
st. Louis, who have been systemat-
ically dcfrauding the government and
debauching its officers, are to be, or
have been punished; that the object

The public will also, in due time,
find out that every officer who
has insisted upon Furnishing the real
ly guilty, and who has protested
against trading off big thieves for lit
tie ones, for the sake of giving some
long range reformer little fictitious
glory, has been asked to step down

WE published yesterday copiou
dispatches from Washington touch
ing the alarming prostratiOn of Mr.
Blaine. We give elsewhere, to-day
fuller accounts of the attack, which
have reached us by mail. 1t will bt
seen that he is now regarded as sub
stantially out Of danger. All good
people, irrespective of party, will re-
.ioicc at the favorable turn in his Attic.
ton, and earnestly hope for his speedy
recovery.
Mr.. Blaine has been, for the past
sixty days, the subject of such vitu-
perative assaults, from various di-
rcctions, as 10 other man ever re-
ceived in this country.
Rival Republican candidates for
the Presidency, and the Confederate
leaders of the House, have made COM
mon cause against the heroic Blaine,
and whatever opinion may be held of
the character Of these charges, aud
however men may differ in poliIi-
cal opinions, it will be agreed up
on all hands. that he has
met his assailants with such moral
and physical courage and surprising
ability as to stamp him in every re-
spect as one of the ablest and mos.
remarkable men of the age.
The committee which was organ
lied 10 convict and their miserable
trnmpcd up witnesses were crushed
to powder by the powerful hand of
Blaine. but the mental and physical
effort was too much for his system.
II is quite probable that this Is but
the preliminary attack of the malady
which in such short period has car
ried away Sumner, Wilson, Grimes,
Greedy, johnson and so many other
leading public men of the day, and
this fact will unguestionably lessen
the chances for Mr.. Blaine at the
National Convention which assemblies
tomorrow.

Blaine, undoubtedly remains the
candidate with the largest following

on an early ballot is imminent. This
is the prevailing sentiment. On the
other hand, Gov. Moves, Chairman OF

favorable to Hayes.

to vote as they please. These forty
four votes arc by Blaine men. Don
Cameron has promised the Indiana

the attack was caused by nervous

excessive heat, and the continued
mental strain of the last few weeks.

tiers of a mile, with his family, and
on reaching the church, become sud-
