AT the Hazleton meeting, Mr.. Allison
announced at the opening of his re-
marks, that he would be pleased to an
swer any questions that might be pro-
pounded to him by any person in the
audience, Of any political faith, it having
been given out that the Greenbackers
were prepared with a number of ques-
tons. No response, however, was made
to the invitation until the close of Mr..
Allison's remarks, when one of the era
ziest of the local Greenbackers plucked
up courage to attack Mr.. AllisOn's rec
ord in the Senate on the free coinage of
silver, and asked him to explain. This
was the Senator's opportunity, and he
improved it. Rising to his feet, he said,
in substance: MY reasons for voting
against absolute free coinage were, first,
because four millions per month is
about the extreme limit of the capacity
for silver coinage of all the minis of the
country, and second, because the differ
ence of ten per cent. between silver coin
and bullion would have gone into the
pockets of the Bonanza kings of Neva-
da, and been subtracted from the pock-
cts of the Western farmers | was I'M
willing thus to enrich the Bonanza men
at the expense of the rest of the coun-
try. Would my friend have done differ
ently?" The Greenbacker, like the So
yont in Bret Harte's poem descriptive
of scientific discussion" on the Stan
islaus, who was struck with chunk of
''old red sandstone" in the abdomen,
sat down, and the proceedings interest
ed him no more"

BEN BUTLER, the demagogue par er-
cellence, has nominated himself for Gov
ernor of Massachusetts, and is going in
to the canvass as a self constituted rep
resentative and champion of the work
ing classes. Though it is the most i'm
pudent assumption and transparent
pretense that can be conceived, Butler
relies upon cheek to make it successful.
He has plenty of imitators.

AN important question has arisen re-
garding the time for electing members
of Congress. By the Iowa law, Con-
gressmen are voted for at the general
election of State officers, which this year
occurs on the second Tuesday of Octo-
Der. The Revised Statutes of Congress,
however, fix the first Tuesday afterthe
first Monday in November as the pro-
per time for the election for members of
Congress. 1t will be seen that our Iowa
law conflicts with the Federal law as to
the time Of holding the election for
Congressman, and unless the seeming
conflict shall have been obviated by a
subsequent enactment, two elections
will be necessary. In March, 1875, a
repeating act" was passed by Congress,
providing that the former law should
not apply to any State not having
changed its election day whose consti-
tuition must be amended in order to eff
feet change in the day Of election OF
State officers in said State" 1t has been
held that this act removed the difficulty,
but the question having been submitted
by Gov. Gear to Judge Brannan, of
Muscatine, he gives it as his opinion
that the election for Congressman must
be held in November, and that the
amendment above cited does not apply
to Iowa, as the day Of election was ap-
pointed by the legislature, and not by
the constitution.
Secretary McCrary is also reported as
having serious doubts of the wisdom of
risking the election of Representatives
in October, and suggests that the Gov
ernor call special session of the Legis
lature to change the general election
from October to November. The ques-
ton has also been submitted to Attorney
General McJuhkin and eminent legal
gentlemen of both parties, and it is an
ticipated that the result will be call
for special session as suggested by
Secretary McCrary.
P. S.-Since the above was written,
the dispatches say that Gov. Gear will
call no extra session, but that call will
be issued for November election. This
means two elections this year.

DIR. SPANGLER, the Greenback candi-
date for Congress, spent day in the
latter part Of last week in this city, la
boring with the delegates from this
county to the Democratic Congressional
Convention to have them aid him in Sc
curing an endorsement from that body.
In every case as we are told, his oyer
lures were received with firm refusal
and scarcely concealed scorn. Not sat
isfed with this decided rebuff, he wend-
ed his way to the Convention, at Nc
Gregor, and there, through chosen
committee of his followers, renewed his
solicitations for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Congress. His efforts met
no better success in the Convention
than with his home delegates, and he
was given to understand, as emphatical-
ly as votes can express it, that his prof
fered alliance was not desirable His
rejection by the Bourbon Democracy,
before whom he had thus obsequiOusly
humbled himself, was all the more hui
initiating from the fact that it was not
because he had no following of votes to
put into the pool. but because the Con-
vention were thoroughly convinced that
he is not qualified for the position to
which he aspires; in other words, that
his ability is a long way behind his am
bitlon.
And now, is it not an inspiriting sight
for an honest Greenbacker who has had
faith in the sincerity Of his party lead
ers when they have so yaliantly pro-
tested against utilization with the "old
corrupt parties, to see his candidate
for Congress on his knees before a Con
vention Of Bourbon Democrats, abjectly
begging for an endorsement?

HIRE EARS TRIAL
Of the Democratic party, during which
it has done nothing to remedy the evils
of which it complained so loudly.
Elected to cure alleged abuses and mis-
management, three sessions of Congress
have been wasted without the passage
in the House of a single distinctively
Democratic measure looking to the
amelioration of the business interests of
the country. The restoration of silver
and the continued restoration of the
grecnback are Republican rather than
Democratic measures. Does the result
Of this three years trial justify any
hope that in the future the Democratic
party can manage the affairs of the
country better than the Republicans?
On the contrary, is there not great rea-
son to fear that it would utterly destroy
the credit and prosperity of the country
by the Inauguration of wild and imprac-
ticable schemes of finance?
| have wearied your patience, and will
not trespass longer than to express the
hope that all good citizens will, accord
ing to their best judgment, throw the
weight Of their ballot on the side which
will secure stability in our finances,
justice to all classes in every part of
our widely extended country, and the
great rights of life, liberty and property,
the preservation and protection of which
is the chief aim of all good government
everywhere.
Senator Allison abiding to the Con-
gressional contest in this district, paid
a fine compliment to the character and
qualifications of Hon. Thomas Upde-
graft, the Republican nominee for Con-
gress, vouching for his soundness on all
the vital issues of the canvass, and ask
ing for him the earnest support of all
good citizens.

Fight For Life Between Two Streug
Men.

Sunday imorning q serious affiay
took place at the Express saloon, 81
South c street, between John Plate, q
a former proprietor of the place, and
Samuel Carr. The two mon came in
together, on the friendliest terms,
about half-past II O'Clock. They
drank a few times, and then began to
poke fun at each othev. The best Of
bumor prevailed, however, until sud-
denly Carr drew pistol and pointed
it at Plate. No ono interfered as they
supposed the two men were only in
dulging in little finn. Plate backed
away from Carr, who followed him
around the room, all the time pointing
the pistol. When he came within
reach of Plate, however, the weapon
was knocked from his hand bY the lat
ter. The barkeeper th.D got Carr to
go out. About half.p past IL, however,
he returned, and, walking M to Plate,
again drew his pistol and remarked,
three times: "I'll shoot you!" Plate
retreated, when Carr followed him M
and slapped him in the face. Plato
closed with Carr, and a terrible fight
began. Carr cooked his pistol, but
Plate, catching him by the wrist, held
it away from his body. Both men
were possessed of giant strength, and
as they struggled together the loung-
ers about the saloon fed through the
door and gained the sidewalk. Carr
was endeavoring to twist his pistol
arm from the grip Of Plate. Suddenly
oy quick motion, he covered Plate
with the weapon, and endeavored to
lire; Plate wrenched his arm and
twisted his hand downward. The pis-
toll was exploded, the powder burned
Carr's clothing, while the ball etazed
his abdomen. Plato then got hold Of
the pistol, Derringer, and beat his
antagonist over the head, inflictinr
some frigntful gashes. Carr is lying in
his room in bad condition, but HE
