THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.

The Democrats nominated yesterday a
ticket which will command the full party
vote. Their candidate for Sheriff is one OF
the best men in the county, he is an old
citizen and man of undoubted ability and
integrity. September 18th THE TINES
said:
Among the names mentioned in connec-
ton with the office of Sheriff, TO be filled by
the voters OF Leayenworth county this fall, is
that of G. Lowe-one of the best men in
the county-one who has been faithful to
every trust heretofore reposed in him. No
man deserves or commands more fully the
goodwill, respect and confidence OF the peo-
pie of this city and county, with whom his
long business career has brought him in close
contact. His thorough competency and in
tesrity are well known to all classes. Should
the Democratic party show wisdom enough
to give Mr.. Lowe the nomination, the Re-
publicans will have 10 look well TO their
nominee; or should the people determine TO
have no party convention, we do not know
OF any man in the county who will be able TO
make n stronger run.
Mr.. Lowe is endorsed by scores of our
leading Republicans, and will be elected
our next Sheriff by over five hundred ma
jority.
W. B. Shepherd has been Deputy Trea-
surer; he is capable, honest man.
j. W. Niehaus is Endorsed by both par
ties and THE TINES
Mr.. Crowder is good man, and very
popular.
Our friend Doctor Biart is young man
OF more than ordinary ability.
Squires, Richards, and Pickens, are all good
men. Taken as a whole the ticket is much
better than the Democrats usually make.

GRAND SUCCESS.

The annual exhibition of the Leaven-
worth Horse Fair Association opened yes
terday under very fattering auspices. The
weather, though more or less cloudy all
day, was as pleasant as could have been
asked. The rain for few days before had
laid the dust and put the track in excellent
condition. The air was cool and bracing,
and the prospect is good for fair weather all
the week. The attendance, for the first
day was much larger than had been antici-
pated. All the hotels and boarding houses
in the city are crowded, and our streets are
as full of strangers, and our merchants az
full of business, as were those Of Kansas
City during the big day of the fair at that
place.
Everything at present indicates that the
exhibition will be grand success. A large
number Of fine animals are already on the
ground, and many Others are to arrive to-
day.
1t has been proposed to make tomorrow
Thursday, general holiday, so as to give
the merchants and clerks, as well as the
school children, an opportunity to attend.
The exhibition, aside from the horse fair,
is good. The Leavenworth Horticultural
Society exhibits over a thousand plates of
apples, and makes so large general dis
play tina; the managers have been obliged
to build an addition to the Horticultural
Hall in order TO make room Tor their ex-
hi'.if

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The Republican County Convention held
at the Court House yerterday viii go into
history only to be remembered for Its stu
pidity. With clear Republican majority
OF two or three hundred in the county,
they made no effort TO harmonic
and nominate candidates OF well
known ability and popularity
Rule or ruin seemed to he the
motive which actuated that part of the del
ecation from the city They failed to en-
dorse resolutions in favor of the National
Administration and thereby they lose the
confidence and respect Of the Republicans.
They tried to pass resolutions against Sena-
tor Ingalls,, and miserably failed in their
purpose. While there were few good men
in the delegation from the city, the large
majority of them failed to represent the
republican sentiment. They went there for
personal purposes only. 1t gives US plea
sure to state that the delegates from the towns
in the county were representative men OF
good Judgment, who seemed disposed TO dc
their duty.
The action OF the convention renderes the
election Of the whole ticket impossible
at least one or two Of its nominees stand nj
show of success The new central commit

it in their power by a wise concilatory poll

Last year the committee acted in yer,
dishonorable and corrupt manner. Tn

THE TTzUNDERER On THE TRAMP
QUESTION.

The London Times of the 18th ult. dis.
cusses the railroad riots of last July in a
thoughtful article, in which it comedies
largely with the views of Col Scott, as
enunciated in his North American Rerieu
paper. The Times thinks that the real evil
to be dreaded is that the class of tramps
and idlers may learn that by concerted ef-
fort they may paralyze the whole machinery
of society and that workingmen themselves
may be encouraged to force recognition
of their claims, not by the old and legiti-
mate method of refusing to work, but by
seizing or obstructing the railways and so
checking the circulation in the arteries of
the country's commercial life. The Times
recognizes the natural jealousy with which
federal interference in state affairs is re-
garded, but contends that the railway sys-
TEN, securing the means of national internal
communication, and carrying the grain and
other TODD supplies from the west to the
seaboard, is in every sense a national con-

GEN. MILES.

The forces under command OF Gen Mel
son Miles have just had a terrible and
bloody engagement with Chief Joseph and
his Indian warriors, information of which
was received at Headquarters in Chicago
Oh Sunday morning. The battle was fought
On the 30th of September, near the Bear
Paw Mountains, and resulted in a victory
for Miles, though at considerable loss Ac-
cording to the Chicago Tribune, from which
we obtain the report of the engagement, 1t
appears that the treacherous Joseph had
held out assurances of his intention TO sur
render to Col. Miles, but only for the pur-
pose Of gaining time Tor the benefit OF Sitting
Bulls party, which is believed to be some
where in the vicinity, the design being to
effect junction with Joseph. Convinced
of the danger of such a result, Col. Miles
determined to give the savages no time to
unite the two bodies, but sur
prised and attacked the camp Of the Nea
Perces, killing seventeen, including five
Chiefs, among whom were Joseph's brother
and Looking Glass, wounding forty, ant
capturing GOO ponies The loss to thu
troops in the first days fight was consider
able, the Indians showing n degree OF des
peration never before witnessed by Col
Miles. The latter hesi,ated to follow VI
his victory and attempt to carry the Indian
camp BY assault, knowing that such ;
movement would entail loss of his mel
which he could not afford. He claims
however, to have cooped the hostiles in
rayine, aud 20 be able TO hold them unit

1lents. : tuIi account Of the battle, to

THE GRaNr.sumNEn NATTER.

The recent charge of Gen. Grant that
Sumner deceived him and told him an un-
truth has called out full explanation Of
the affair. At the time of the Santo Do
mingo annexation talk President Grant
called one day upon Sumner to secure his
approval of the proposed measure. The
Senator answered him as follows: well.
Mr.. President, am a Republican. and an
Administration man. and | will do all l
can properly to make your Administration
a success. i viii give the subject nv best
thought and will do all can rightly and
consistently to aid you." Colonel John w.
Forney was present at this interview, and
vouches for the accuracy CT Mr.. Summers
answer. He also adds that both President
Grant and himself believed that Mr.. Sum.
ner intended to support the Santo Domin-
go scheme. Mr.. ForTsv wrote an article
m that belief for his paper the next morn
ing. 1t seems nothing more was heard of
senator Summers views on the subject until
as Chairman OF the Foreign Relations Com
mittee he attacked the project with his
usual vigor. This was great surprise In
the President and AZ once led to an es,r,,ce.
nent between them. Mr.. Forney thinks it
was only case of misunderstanding. and
that proper explanation would have ne
conciled their differences. AS for himself
he went to Mr. Sumner, recalled
the interview with the President
1t which he was present. and
received from the Senator the EXPLANATION
that he had only promised to consider the
question Mr.. Forney adds: l tried to
compose the trouble, but failed-the Quarrel
had gone too far. 1t is not pleasant to re-
open these wounds, now that the grave has
eaosed over the illustrious Senator: Int I
.s1Iemnly believe that there never lived .
nser, better or more truthful man than

ssPAIRlNG OFF,,

The Democratic papers having beer
seriously criticizing Senator Mcdonald,
proposition 10 "pair of" with Senator Nor.
ton, the indianapolis Journal offers the fol.
lowing explanation:
Mr.. Mcdonald did not propose to pair of
with Senator Morton If the latter was unable
to attend upon the sessions of the Senate
Such pairing is unusual. The proffer was
distinctly made upon the basis that Senator
Morton should be abe to be in Washington
and in attendance upon Congress. The Offer
Of Senator Mcdonald was simply to prevent
the necessity Of Mr.. Morton's daily presence
in the chamber, and was In harmony with
legislative practice, the dictates of humanity,
and the suggestions of decent friendship.

COLUMBUS, October Q, S:l5.-The day
has been pleasant throughout the state,
which is usually considered favorable to the
Republicans, but the ir " cher is Offset
by the apathy and with Of Republi-
can votes to the Working lens and Green
back tickets. The retu.I- are coming in
slowly. In the computing OF the vote, no
account is taken of the Greenback and
Working Mems vote, although the latter is
said to have polled a vote in Hamilton
county, Comparisons as to Democratic or
Republican gains will be made with the
vote for Secretary Of State in October, 1876
At Sp. m, We have returns from thirty
one scattering precincts, showing a net

x;yDGE OF SJPREuC Cozrur

1t is supposed, according to the Washing
ton correspondent of the Chicago Times
that the President will decide this week
who is to be appointed Judge OF the Su.
preme Court, to fill the place made vacant
by the resignation of Judge Davis. The
appointment seems to lie between Herschell
V. johnson, of Georgia; Mr.. Harlan, oil
Kentucky, Bristow's law partner, and Judge
Hunt, of Louisiana. The latter accompa-
MED the President on his late New England
tour, by special Invitation, and from this
circumstance it is inferred that his chances
are the best.

The following item from tine Philadelphia
Pre- 5aerian contains the statement of fact
OF great Importance to Kansas:
II has been found that the wheat grown in
Kansas produces a flour which can safely be
transported across the tropics. AT present
Virginia wheat has a monopoly Of the inter-
tropical and South American trade, but as the
product yearly falls Off and the demand year
ly increases, new fields for its cultivation are
needed, and Kansas is the quarter to which
hipp ers are looking. Kansas can now go i'm
and win"
This being the case, it will not be long till
the wheat crop Of this State will be used ex-
clusively in the manufacture of Hour for
shipment to South America, which will
cause it TO rank higher in the market than
wheat produced in any other part of the
couufry

The Republican committee, in giving a
reason for this falling off in their votes,
say II Is caused by the Republicans who
abstained from voting, they intending in
this way to show their dissatisfaction with
the Presidents southern policy.
