Slow But Sure.
From the New Orleans Democrat

From the New Orleans Democrat.
The "slow fighter" was 4 tall, raw boned
specimen of the Pike County breed, and
when he arrived in the mining camp the
boys began to have fun with him-;o mill
him." as they called it in the parlance OF
the mines
He stood it for long time with perfect
equanimity, until finally one of the party
dared him out Of doors to fight
He went. When they got all ready and
squared off Pike County stretched out his
long neck and presented the tip of his big
nose temptingly close to hts tormenter:
I'm little slow" he said, "and can t
fight unless I'm well riled; just paste me
| one--a good 'un-right on the end of that
smeller! y
His request was complied with
THAT was good 'un," he said, calmly,
'but don't feel quite riled yit"-(turning
the side of his head to the Adversary
please chue ME another lively one under
the ear"
The astonshed adversary again compli,
ed, whereupon Pike County, remarkine
that he WAS mot quite as well riied as he
would like to be, but would do the best he
could" sailed into the crowd and for the
next ten days the "noys" were engaged in
mending broken jaws, repairing damaged
eyes and tenderly resurrecting smashed
noses.

Who the Strikers Are.

II has been assertained that among
large number Of men arrested for partici-
patton in the Baltimore riots but an ex-
trernsly small portion were railroad men.
It is evident, also, that the pillage and in
cendiary mob that inaugerated reign of
terror in Pittsburgh yesturday was compos-
ed very largely of dissatisfied element
outside Of railroad circles. The general
depression has left a large number of men
formerly connected with manufacturing es-
Establishments, in idleness; and others have
been thrown out by strikes which are so
common in that city. There are always
plenty Of men in Pittsburgh in IL chronic
state of discomfort and ripe for riot. EvI-
IDENTIFY much of the trouble Of the last day
or two has resulted from the participation
Of an element which is not directly con-
cerned in the railroad difficulty. This
ought to suggest to good citizens the dis.
couragement of crowds. Public curiosity
in times like the present, may lead to dis
asterous results Good citizens should abb
stain from encouraging, even BY theil
presence, ambitious but irresponsible men
who encourage disturbance and harrangue
crowds whenever they can be induced &c
listen and who, not representing rail
road men, do 30 much injury to them spe
cially as they do to the community gener-
ally.

The Republican Senatorial and County
held in Shawnee on the Goth
were the largest Republican conventions
held in this county for years. Every
township in the county except Bearfeld
was represented There was also num-
Der Of Democrats and Independents as
we'll as Republicans at the convention
1t was plain to be seen that the county
printing swindle would receive the atten-
tion of the convention.
The convention was unanimous for Mr..
e. G. Russell for Senator. In fact there
was no other candidate even spoken of.
The following ticket was nominated:
Senator-C. &. Russell
Representative-John D. Axline,
Auditor Wm. G.. Beck,
Treasurel-S NJ. Lentz.
Recorder-A. c. Caine,
Prosecuting Attorney-H. d. Cochran,
Commissioner-John Motz,
Survey orr. B. Larimer,
Infrmary Director-Wm. Virgins
THE PLATFORM.
The Republicans in Perry county in con
vention assembled, declare:
First-Th the party being founded on
principle, and devoted to the mantainance
and defense of equal rights for all men, it
is irnpracticable undesirable. and impo ssi :
BILE that it should be committed to the per
sonal policy or fortune of any man. Yet
the official acts of President, Hayes having
been in accordance with the principles of
the party as declared by the National Con-
vention of 1876, and of his letter of accep-
tance, we heartily endorse the policies Of
peace, reconciliation, and reform, as an
nounced and enforced by the President
and the various Departments of the Coy
ernment.
Second.-That Republican government
is based upon honest elections and the cor
ruption OF the ballot box is the destruction
Of popular government, we therefore ap-
prove of the reistration Law passed by the
Legislature of Ohio, as one of the safe.
guards of the Republic.
! Third:-That the silver dollar should be
restored to its ancient place as full legal
tender for all purposes; and that dema
gogues who are perpetually agitating the
currency question, to the injury os the bes
interests of the country, should be sup
pressed by the potent voice of the people
to the end that business confidence may be
restored, and safe and abundent currenc,
established, based upon, and equivalent il
value to, gold and silver coin.
Fourth. - That the people of Perr
county are greatly interested in railroa,
transportation, and as railroad corporation
are creatures of the law and derive thei
franchise from the people; we demand sue
legislation as will protect the people fror
monopolized power and oxtortion.
Fifth-That we denounce the action 9
the Democratic House of Representative
in refusing to pass the army appropriate
bill as an act of oppression toward body {
men to whose patriotism the nation owes
debt of gratitude.
Sixth.-That we demand retrenchmer
: in local taxation, and rigid economy i
r county and municipal expenditures.
n Seventh,-The Republican party is OF
e posed to monopolies and therefore demant
o that all public printing be let TO the lowe
: bidder.

The New Party.
From the Philadelphia Times


Judge Bartly, for long time Judge of
the Supreme Court of Ohio, and now a
prominent lawyer in this city, is the
authority for the announcement that al
ready we'll conceived and arranged move
ment is on foot looking to the formation of
new political party, to be called "the
Union party" Judge Bartly is a brother
in-law of the Shermaps, and has always
been considered Democrat. He says that
he endorses the policy of Hayes, and that
Hayes would like to see the Union party
become the power in the land Ex Senator
Foote of Mississippi and Tennessee is a
partner of Judge Bartly, and he is an out
spoken advocate of the new movement. It
is alleged that many of the bureau officers
of the departments and the clerks, whose
homes are ostensibly in the various States,
are secretly working both here and at
home in the interest ofthis new movement,
and that in the early party of October a
caucus will be held in this city of all
prominent men who intend to go with the
new idea

Latest from the Strike.
LOSS OF LEE AND DESTRUCTION
OF PROPERTY.
Vigilance Committees Being Organized.
The President Issues his Proclamation
Ordering all DisOrderly Assemblages
to Disbapd by Tuesday Noon.

The latest we can gather from the
strike is that the Railroad companies
refuse to yield and that the Pennsyl-
vania Central will not acede to the
strikers under any consideration.
A great many lives have been lost
and millions Of dollars worth Of prop
erty burned. The Machine shops,
Rolling mills, Furnaces, Founderies,
and almost all other large manufacto-
ries have been compelled to close their
works, and in many cases the hands
are satisfied with their wages but the
mob by threats of burning the estab-
ments compel them to close up.
Vigilance committees are being or
ganized to protect life and property.
The thieves have been burning and
pludering wherever they have had an
opportunity. The President has is,
sued proclamation orderingall disor'
derly assemblages to disband by noon
on Tuesday last. Business is almost
entirely suspended, and the militia Of
the different States has been called
out and are guarding the public and
private property.
Ifthe Railroad companies hold our
another week their will be more blood
shed, and the final result will be
that the Railroad companies will bt
badly crippled, and the strikers LOST
their situations and the army o:
tramps increased to hundreds of thou
sands.

ed that at one time when Petit, Ex-Chief
Justice Lecomrte and himself were going
through. Missouri to attend Court they
stopped at ST. Joseph and played the usual
game. Abont midnight a dispute arose
between Petit and Lecompte rs to who
had won "the pot" Petit insisted that
his hand was the best and that he was enti-
tied to the money. So did Lecompte In
the midst of the dispute and of his warth.
Petit arose, seized every bill on the table.
tore them in pieces. and threw them out of
the window. Lecompte was very much
chaerined, but not disposed to give it up.
1t was a rainy night and there was only
mud around the hotel, but Lecompte went
down stairs and into the mud, feeling for
the torn bills The search was fruitless: he
returned a sad man, but Petit and Ewing's
laughter knew no bounds 1t turned out
soon afterward that each man had bet all
his money, and when they came to pay the
bill in the morning they had to ask the

The railroad strike has spread from
Philadelphia to the Mississippi river, and
includes in its effects nearly all the trunk
lines The special point Of interest is
Pittsburgh. The dispatches give very
full account of the riotous proceedings at
TIM, poin,, and the common observation is
that, whatever sympathy is due the rail-
road employees on the question of wages
simply, the point for the authorities and
the community to consider is the protec.
ton Of life and property. The point has
been reach ed when, to relax efforts to quell
the mob, would be destruction to the inter
