Give GOV. Iilden The Floor.

The New York Tribune: Here, o;
last, is some sense in a serious business.
The World fully appreciates the gravity
OF the accusation against Gov. TIiden in
the matter of income returns, and as
fully the worthlessness of the cxplsna-
tons that have thus far been offered.
Evidently it has its eye on the private
secretary and kindred reformers when
it says, very properly:
1--WE have no doubt that Ar. Tilden,
in his own way and in his own time,
will think il not unbecoming his posi-
ton as the candidate Of great party
for The first Office in the Land, 10 set his
foot upon the charges. In the mean
while il strikes Us that no judicious
friend Of Mr.. Tiiden, or Of the Demo
cratic party, or of the repu;e OF the
United States, which is involved N the
repute of citizens 50 conspicuous and 90
highly trusted, will be over-basty in vol
nn,eering explanations OF matter en-
tireiy personal in its nssure."

To "carry bis point" he will cut a man
to pieces in a 'jiffy," sacrifice car
load of infants, or commit any crime
known to the human race. Two curious
persons went the other day to the Cobb
quarters to investigate. One of them
was hacked to pieces, while the other
barely escaped similar fate. Citizens
Of that neighborhood were aroused by
the outrages and made raid on the
murderers and scattered the gang. Old
Cobb escaped to the woods and has not
been seen since. He will undoubtedly
act the role OF Jesus for short time in
the presence of mosquitoes, Lizards and

ties, will ere long ind that a hemp

we must confess that never before ia all
our life were we so much disinclined to
acknowledge ourself Republican, as
whom we looked upon that mob which

Defeat OF the serylan ARMY.

Official dispatches say that the entire
Turkish army attacked the Servian right
wing on Friday. The battle lasted from
8 o'clock q. m. until p. IN.
A special dispatch to tho London
Times, from Belgrade, indicates crush
ing defeat and thorough Reorganization
OF the Sorvian army. On FRIDAY the
battle was commenced and was sustain
ed ,uninterruptcdly,f for eleven hours and
half, and was waged on ground which
the Servians had made the strongest in
all the country. 1t was the decisive en-
counter long looked forward to, and was
wanting in no feature that could impart
horrible grandeur to the struggle on one
side for supremacy and on the other for
existence. A perfect panic set in among
the Servians as they witnessed the
steady advance of the enemy, and whole
battalions began to fly. The carnage
was terrible on both sides, and the main
street of Alexinatz were crowded with
wounded and mangled, and wounded
were coming in on stretchers. A STAN
pede from Alexinatz soon took place,
and for ten miles on the road to Bel
grade there was almost a compact NOV
ing mass of carriages, wagons, horses
and cattle, all going at full gallop, run
ming into one another every instant.
When the highway became too crowded
resort was had TO fields, and through
these oxen dragged their wagons, or, as
was the case in many instances, only
wooden yokes, the wagons having been
left behind lest they might impede the
more valuable animals in their flight.

the Servian reliance on Russian aid has
been so palpable throughout, that Russia
will be almost compelled to protect her
now, and may interfere in such man.
ner as TO provoke a general war. This
is the only danger. The Turks will
surely listen TO English council if the
negotiations are not defeated by the
Russian demands in excess of heporte's
patience, meanwhile an armistIce at
least may be regarded as certain.

day just after the party bad left, lady
came into the hotel inquiring if Mr.

host, she and his wife have just left

she was. And there was hurrying in
the direction that man and woman had
taken. The rascal was overtaken al

of voices, hooting, yelling and jabbering
like pack of hyenas. Over the simple
point as to who should call the conven'
ton to order there was all this noise I;
and oaths and angry words enough to
keep them all busy until judgment day
doing penance as punishment therefor.
The riot was quelled only after the
sheriff of Dickinson county and the po-
lice force of Abilene were called In.
Soon after Mr.. Huyck left the stand and
the anti Phillips delegates soon withdrew
from the Hall and proceeded to another
place to make nomination. About
sixty-five delegates renamed in the
Hall. These delegates nominated Col.
w. A. Phillips, and the delegates who
retired nominated w. w. Guthrie.
An impartial observer of these DIS
graceful proceedings cannot help but
admit that while both factious were
more or less to blame for the row, Col.
Phillips was fairly nominated. He had
a majority Of the delegates in his favor
to start with, and he had larger ma
jority when he was nominated. While
Col. Anthony, who was a Jealous sup
porter of Col. Phillips, might have con-
coded to Mr.. Huyck the right to call the
convention to order, when he (Anthony)
saw there was strong feeling against
his presiding, there was no cause for q
bolt on the part of the anti-Phillips
men. Tho inference goes out taht the
anti Phillips men found that they were
fairly and squarely beaten; and bolted
because thcy could not carry their point.
We hoist Col. Phillips name as the
regular nominee, because he was fairly
nominated, and we witnessed that NOM
ination. We believe Gen. Guthrie, who
is good Republican and an honest
man, will finally decline to run. With
two Republican nominees in the field
there is q chance for a Democrat to be
elected-and thus one more would be
added even from the grand old Repubil-
can State of Kansas TO swell the Confed-
crate host which is trying again to rule
the Government.

The Democratic Convention o.. the
First Congressional District assembled
at Atchison yesterday. A dispatch re-
ceived hero late last night announces
that Hon. T. P. Fenlon, of Leaven-
worth, was nominated by reclamation.
Mr.. Guthrie stated Immediately after
the Abilene convention that in case the
Democrats made a nomination he should
not be candidate. We suppose now
Col. Phillips will have clear field on
the Republican side.
