be lively one. Candidates are numer-
ous-every county in the district having
at least ono. and some of them two OF
three. Among the new names mentions
ed in connection with the nomination
are Judge Layman Of jackson county,
George Mertz Of Pulaski, and Hon. John
X. DIETRICH OF Randolph. The friends Of
Mr.. DIETRICH to the number of several
hundred have united in a call upon him
to become candidate, and it ia under,
stood no will comply with the
request. Jonathan C. Willis il
also ''sounding about" and il
he finds the conditions favorable" will
be likely to make fight for the nomina-
ton. Mr.. Wits is popular and has
friends In every part Of the district, and
In the event Of his becoming a candidate
he will go into the convention with a
strong backing. However, at
this stage of the game,
although there are not less than a
dozen gentlemen who would gladly &C,

Our old friend
MGARRAHAN Is HAVING HIS CLAIM lXyEs-

by tile senate public lands committee.
II seems to BIZ pretty clearly established
that both McGarrahan and his opponent,
the New Iona mining company, have at
various times secured the appointment Of
public officers solely for the influence
they could exercise In their positions
upon the final determination of the case.
This is shown US to McGarrahan by his
own letters, and the record seems to
make it plain that the New Idna comps
any, has done the same thing.
There Is considerable mystery about

Hon Ben Eggleston President Board OF Council
men, City of Cincinnati:
DEAR SIR-In view of the very generally
expressed desire of our citizens for return
to the all-night system of lighting our
streets, and believing that the municipal
authorities are only deferred from its adop-
ton because of the very limited resources
placed at their command, we are, for the
greater convenience OF our cltlzenS ana
increased police protection of the city,
moved to make the following proposition,
to-wit:
If you will fix the levy at 1 MILL being
3O-100 of mill less than last year, and all
increase of only ST. 700 over recommenda-
ton of Finance Committee, this Company
will agree to light all the lamps now in use
according to the all-night tine table from
the 1st day of October next to January 1st
$780, and remit or quitclaim to the city the
entire deficiency resulting therefrom.
Very respectfully,
A. HICKENLoOPER, President.

President of the United Statos, do hereby
heartily endorse each and every effort by him
heretofore made TO reconcile divided people
and restore concord and harmony in a dis
trncted land firmly believing all such efforts
to he lawful wise. and indsp,nsably neccs-
sary to the complete establishment Of peace
among the people Of every section of the
country, and to the perpctuity OF the union Of
these States.
I'd, That while we would favor every law
full means Of investigation for the discovery
and punishment Of fraud among government
officers. yet believing that the Potter inyes-
tigation, so called, is but partisan measure.
we nhcsitatngly dcnounce it rs uuwa1ynt-
ed, corrupt in all its purposes, and iraught
with dangerous consequences to the welfare
and prosperity of the people
3D., That we nre unalterably opposed to
every act of legislation calculated directly or
indirectly to retard or delay the resumption
of specie payment.
lth, That we firmly believe in the rcforma-
ton of the civil service, that il should be-
come one of the established principles of the
Government; and, notwithstanding the many
difficulties which may have hitherto attended
and impeded its practical operation, we trust
that the President will persevere until the
complete success of the principle shall be-
come an established fact
18th, That we demand the most rigid econ
omy in every department Of the public SER
vice honesty and efficiency among all our
public servants, reduction of the salaries OF
public officials to sum commensurate only
with the duties tobe performed, and the adop-
ton of such a system of taxation ms shall be
equal and just to all
9th, That we pledge our earnest and cor
dial support in behalf of the Republican NOM
inees for State officers, and the nominees Of
this convention for County officers.
The convention then adjourned sine die.
