THE ELECTIONS.

The news from the Ohio. Indiana,
Iowa and West Virginia elections in
dictate that the Democrats and Green
hackers nave made sad havoc in the
Republican ranks. In Ohio. in which
the Republicans now have twelve men,
bers of Congress, they claim to have
elected eight. In Indiana the Demo-
Gratis claim a majority of G, 900 for the
State ticket, and majority of the Leg
islature. In Iowa. which gave Hayes
10000 majority. the vote is close.
though the Republicans claim to have
elected nearly all their Congressman.

A dispatch from Aft Doteu. Secre-
tary of the Republican State Central
COMMITTEE, informs us that Wren 3
plank relative 10 the Bullion Tax is to
be added to the Republican platform.
Mr.. Doten says il was clerical omis-

scarcely satisfy the public. We are
forced to believe, from what has been
sid about the matter, that the Com.
mittee has been forced to insert the
plank to endeavor to prevent the de-
moralization of the party, large ma

THAT MISSING PLANK.

Independent Republican papers, not
owned by the Nevada Bank and
Crooked Railroad, persist in calling at
tention to what is,now known as 1.-THE
missing plank" of the Republican plat.
form 1t related to the bullion tax,
and was submitted to the Committee
on resolutions by Fred Hart, of the
Austin Reveile. The Committee voted
it down and substituted in its place a
meaningless resolution. which may be
construed for or against the repeal or
modification of the tax. In the Con-
vention Congressman Wren again in
troduced the resolution, which reads
as follows:
Resolved, That the Republican party
of the State of Nevada is opposed to
and protests against any repeal. Eodifi-
cation or change of the law taxing the
proceeds of mines, commonly known
as the Bullion Tax law.
Mr.. Hart declares in the Reveille
that the persons who opposed this reso-

bodied in the platform, we're loudest

hon. where the proceedings were

was noticed by the Reyeille aud atten-
ton was directed to the matter in
communication from Mr. Wren, pub
ished in the Eureka Leader.
AS Republicans not bearing. the
Bonanza brand, as well as Democrats.
are opposed to the repeal of the bullion
tax, the suppressed plank became the
subject of general comment, showing,
as 1t did. that the politicians who run
the Republican machine wore secretly
IN favor of abolishing the tax. 1t there
fore became necessary, as the deception
was exposed, to attempt to explain it
This task the Carson Appeal takes upon
itself. That journal says that the in
sertion of the plank was held in abey-
ance until the platform could be re-
vised bya committee, and that il was
che recollection of majority of that
committee that no such resolution was
ever introduced in the Convention by
Mr.. Wren.
Now. according to the admissions of
the Appeal. committee is revising the
platform of the Eureka Convention.
Of course that committee will leave out

stabbed by mis- Companion.

a dispatch from Asbury Park, N. j.,
Nov. 4, says: Two men in a wagon
stopped at the Halfway House, Mon
mouth County, at noon to day, and ill.,
quired for the road to Shark River Sta
ton, on the New Jersey Southern Rail
road. Soon after they had left, their
horse came back, dragging the over
turned wagon. A search was made for
the men, and one OF them, named Cook,
OF Long Branch, was found half mile
from the house, in the edge OF wood.
He had been stabbed in the throat, and
was insensible.
His companion had fed: and gun
which had been seen in the wagon was
missing. As ther. is no physician at
The Half-N ay House, it was necessary
to send Cook, still unconscious, to Long
Branch, for treatment. Search is be-
ing made for his assailant.

In addition to the Bulgarian rising,
Turkey is hampered by sudden re-
bellion OF the halt savage Arab tribes
Of the Euphrates Valley, the same
which, twenty-five years ago, sacked
BasIad and devastated the whole SUI
rounding country. The movement has
proceeded far enough to Cut off all COM

north Of it, and to drive all Governments
officials from their posts. Indian dis
patches announce that if the Ameer's
to the British ultimatum is not
received before Wednesday, the 10th
nst., the troops will advance; but if SO,

the occupation of Kandahar, the cold Of

Thrift.

A special dispatch from Washington
says: "In conversation with Postmater-
General Key to-day on the condition of
the Chinese in California, h. gave the
following as the result OF his observa-
tions during his recent visit to the Pa
cifc coast: THE politicians says Mr.
Key, are almost to a man against the
Chinese, and antagonize them bitterly.
The merchants, the manufacturers, the
farmers and nearly the entire employ
ing class are very fond Of the Chinese,
and prefer them to any other laborers.
They speak in the highest terms Of the
Chinese. They say that they are do
cile, oledient, obliging, punctual hard
working and faithful. They are ex
c-edingly thrifty and economical. They
are temperate in their habits, do not
drink liquors Of any kind, eat very lit.
tie meat. and live almost entirely on
rice. II is wonderful " see how little
a Cinnamon can live on. Their econo-
my struck me az something marvellous

ter of San Francisco by the Mayor, and
saw everything in that locality, but
there are number of persons here in

than anything in Chinatown. | also
observed that the railroad companies
employed large number of Cinnamon,
and found them excellent workmen.'
"Whil. on the Pacific coast, the
Postmastrr-G-n-ral had special oppor-
4 ;unities for observing the habits and
customs of the Chinese and Of ascertain.
ing the correct public sentiment in re-
gard to them. He was escorted through
the Chinese quarter of San Francisco
by the Mayor and other local officials,
and as those officers are known to have
the prevailing prejudice against these
people, every aspect Of the question
unfavorable to the Mongoliahs W as pre-
scented. 1t is evident that the Pdst
master General has returned from the
Pacific coast with the impression that

ton as the 'hoodlums' represent"
