reasonably certain of election. In the Sew
enth district Judge Humphrey, the Repubi
can candidate, has clear majority of over
six thousand, which assures him of re-
election, but in!the Eighth district Pounds
majority of less than Thousand can be east
~ wiped out by the voters who adhere to- he
Democratic and Greenback cause. The
Democrats are therefore sure to retain their
present delegation of three members, and
nothing short of a miracle can prevent the
election of Davis in the Second district The
Greenbackers and Democrats combined will
carry the Eighth district, while the Third is
still debatable ground. The Republicans of
Wisconsin are fighting battle against great
odds. They have espoused the hard
money doctrines of Sherman and
Blaine that have proved SO disastrous
to their brethren in Maine, in the face of
the fact that at the last State election there
was greenback vote of over twenty six
thousand. By their course they invite the
defeat that is sure to overtake them. The
Democrats have been wiser. They havedis-
cerned the signs of the times, and by taking
advanced ground on the question of the inan-
ces have placed themselves abreast of the
spirit of the age. They labor under one dis
advantage, however. They do not appear to
be as thoroughly organized as their oppo-
rents. They rely too much upon individual
undirected effort. But it is not too late to
remedy the defect, and by hard work during
the next six weeks a sweeping victory can be
recorded for the Democracy of the Badger

A FEARFUL RIDE.
Eiohty-Tire Niles Under Sleeping Car
and Ill for Lore.
Hamilton (ont.) Spectator. |


Hamilton (Ont.) Spectator.
On the arrival of the 1:50 New York
express train of the Great Western railway
here recently, the men engaged in testing
the car wheels and running gear of the cars
were surprised to see a man slowed away
upon the trucks of one of the sleeping cars
position in which it is as much as any
ones life is worth to ride even the shortest
distance. The policeman in charge of the
station was informed of the circumstances,
and at once arrested and scare he'd the man,
finding only six cents in money and some
papers on his person. On being questioned
the man said his name was Lenox and that
he had been working in Emmett, where had
received telegram informing that his wife
was lying at the point of death in Buffalo.
Monday morning he left Emmett, paying
his fare to London, beyond which point his
money ran out. Being determine to reach
Buffalo somehow, and not knowing of any
means of doing the journey so quickly
except by rail, he slowed himself away on
the truck under the car, and there he had
| remained until discovered at Hamilton.
Let the reader. if it is possible, form con-
ception. the faintest idea, of the perils of
such Journey and then it may be possible
to understand what the poor greif-stricken
German must have suffered. The distance
between London and Hamilton, by the
Great Western railway, is eighty-five and
quarter miles, and the slightest change of
position on Lenox's part or the least OBJ
struction on the track, would have launched
the poor fellow into eternity at once. And
then think of the agony he must have suf-
| fered from the dust. sand and debris thrown
mp by the swiftly flying train, and the great
tension on the nerves and sinews by being
compelled to maintain his hold on the truck.
/ The policeman said he would not risk
! journey of one hundred yards in the position
Lenox was for the whole Great Western
railway, and where is there another who
would do so for what is commonly called
s'mere love?'

"EushOOdrct'' Hale.

We see by the Jefferson county papers
that "Washboard' Hale died in the poor

thirty years he had lived in that vicinity on
a washboard, as may be said. He made a
few washboards, and he would take one

allow the wife to use it. If she bought it,
all right, and if not it was all the same. He
would have q dozen washboards scattered
around, and he was always the guest of the
house. got his meals, moved his washboard
to another locality, and ate and drank on the
board. He always managed to arrive at
house about meal time, and as he had all
the news to tell he was welcome. IF a
house wife had wood to split, COW to milk,
OF the man had steers to break, hogs to kill,
or wagon to grease, old Hale was ready to
help AT times when the good housewife
had not much in the house for dinner the
arrival Of dashboard Hale would cause a
cloud to rest upon her brow, but cheerful
word from him would soon dispel it, and we

an unkind word, and he never injured a

In referring to the effect of Pirate Sher-
mans variable policy regarding the circula-
ton of standard silver dollars, the Washing
ton correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
Quirer notes the fact that his circular, when
issued. depressed the gold premium, and its
revocation again sent it up one-eighth. He
then remarks:
Without charging that the head of the fnan-
cial department of great government like
this would use his position for purposes of
speculation, such a change OF base, if repeated
too often, would certainly afford the basis for
well-grounded suspicion. If he had been dis
honest he could have bought gold enough on
margin VIXEN his silver circular sent it down;
and, being the custodian of the secret that the
very order which sent its premium down was
to be revoked, he could have made quite a
handsome turn between the fluctuations.
Hence while he had no such motive, no one
will believe it..
Others will not be as charitable as the cor.
respondent in relieving Mr.. Sherman of the
imputation of having acted purposely in this
matter. The fact that he has in the past
used official secrets to promote his personal
profit is not calculated to make people be-
lieve that he did not take a hand in the little
game in Wall street and s'make quite hand
some turn between the fluctuations" Sher-
man is no saint.

BODY sNATCHING.

Cleveland Excited Over an Aggravated
Case-The Faculty and a Number of Stu
dents of the Homeopathic Medical College
Arrest ed.
CLEVELAND, Sept. 17.-Saturday morning
last Edwin French, an old and well citizen of
Cleveland, died at the residence of his son in
Willoughby, thirteen miles east OF here. The
funeral services were held yesterday afternoon
and the remains inferred in Willoughby GENE
terry. This morning early it was dis
covered that the grave had been
robbed. Detectives were at once set at
work, and this afternoon the body was
found in a trunk underneath the floor in the
homeopathic Medical college of this city.
The grave had been robbed between and 2
o'clock at night, and the body brought to the
city in carriage and thrown into the trunk.
The floor was put back and nailed down. Mr..
j. E. French, son Of deceased, Immediately
swore out warrants, and nearly dozen people,
including the dean and members of the faculty,
janitor and several students were arrested.
The faculty disclaim all knowledge of the
body-snatching, and say they are entirely igno-
rant of the whole affair.

Il Kansas LynchinG.

Thursday night last, at Chetopa, Kan, oc
once witnessed, are never to be forgotten,
which are rarely to be justiff d, and always
deprecated. A mana murderer, to be
sure, but still human being-is borne from
train of cars by band of his fellow men
and, with no prayer for the salvation of his
soul, no plying glance, no friends tear,
sent adrift upon the sea of eternity. The
law has no part or lot in it; all statutes are
set aside, and stern men with nothing but
death IN their touch wreak that vengeance
upon him which sooner or later is sure to
fall.
Train No. on the M. X. and T., which
arrives at Chetopa at midnight, was boarded
upon its arrival at that place by a band of
masked men, who took possession of it for
the purpose of securing the person of John
Richmond, the man who recently killed
Deputy United States Marshal Cliff. The
circumstances of the killing, which occurred
on Aug. 25, at Chetopa, have been widely
published, and were brutal in the extreme.
The marshal was shot seven times by Rich
mond while attempting to arrest him on a
charge of horse stealing. Richmond made
his escape, but was captured and was being
brought to Fort Scott for safe keeping, in the
charge of sheriff of Labette county and a
posse, when he was taken from the train
and lynched.
The sheriff managed to get him away from
! the mob and into an omnibus, but he was
Immediately discovered, dragged out, placed
under tree, and swung off into the other
world. The poor wretch pleaded hard fol
| his life, but there was no mercy in the hearts
of his captors. The affair was thoroughly
planned and thoroughly executed. During
the excitement passenger was slightly in
Jured by the discharge of pistol in the
hand of some individual. From parties
who arrived in this city last night from the
scene of the lynching, we learn that every
thing is quite at Chetopa, and the excitement
has almost entirely subsidized.
Richmond was an emigrant, and had been
located near Chetopa for some time. He
leaves wife and family.

THE SECOND DISTRICT.

The Greenbackers to the number of four
Mortified yesterday, and attempted to make
Congressional nomination. No better evil
dence than this gathering is necessary to
show that the Nationals accept the recent
Democratic State platform as satisfactory,
and propose to accept the men who stand
thereon. The Second district contains
more Greenbackers than any other district
in the State, but only fourteen, and nearly
all of them from the immediate vi
cinity, met at Ncrthfeld. All of
the strong men of the party de-
clined to accept a nomination or even
participate in the convention, and the little
knot which assembled were the imprac-
ticables and implacables who possess neither
sagacity or reason.
It was further significant that even this
handful could not succeed in making a
nomination stand. The candidate selected,
openly and positively declined, and without
making any effort to fill the vacancy the
convention adjourned.
This leaves the contest as before, between
Poehler and Strait, and it ought not
to require great deal of time for q
Greenbacker to determine which one to
support. Strait is the President of Nation
al Bank, and one of the bitterest opponents
of the Greenback doctrine in the State.
Poehler, on the contrary, is entirely free from
any National Bank, stands squarely upon
the Democratic State platform, and believes
in the substitution of greenbacks for the
National Bank currency. If the leading men
of the Nationals had been present they
would have endorsed Mr.. Poehler, but it
was fortunate for him that the impracticables
who were at Mortified yesterday did not
support him. At least one of the
fourteen wanted the government to
issue seven Thousand millions of greenbacks
to be divided among the States as a loan, the
States to loan it to counties, the counties to
loan it to towns, and the towns to loan it to
the people at per cent. per annum. He
calculated that private debts amounted to
about seven thousand million, and thought
the government should supply the funds to
liquidate. There were certainly two or
three others, out of the fourteen who wished
to pay off the entire bonded debt of the
country Immediately in greenbacks regard
less of the terms of the contract when
the bonds were issued. Fortunately, even
the fourteen did not succeed in promulgat-
ing these wild schemes, and, in view of the
small number in attendance, it is also for
tunate that no nominee was found to make
the race. Any selection made by that crowd
of inpracticables would have been fatal, and
as it now stands, the Greenbackers can
choose between Poehler and Strait. There
is no doubt that every intelligent man
among them will vote for Poehler, while it
is moro thau probable that the majority of
the fourteen will vote direct for Strait
whose agents they appeared to be on yester-
day.

THE cAMPAIGN IN WISCONSIN

The Congressional campaign in Wisconsin
is now fairly open in every district save the
Fourth, which comprises the counties of
Milwaukee, Ozaukee and Washington. The
candidates nominated by the three parties
are as follows:
Dist Republican. Democrat. Greenback.
l.. C. q. Williams, G. H Parker, G. H. Parker.
q. l.. B. Caswel, R. E. Davis, Il. A. Tenney.
g.. G. g. Hazleton, NJ. M. Cothren, Owen King.
s.. Hiram Smith, Edw S. Bragg, D. Giddings.
g.. G. Grimmer, Gabe Bouck, P. &. Griffith
T.. H. L. Humphrey, G. D. Parker, G. D. Parker.
g.. .Thad. G. Pound, A. r. Barrows, A. r. Barrows.
It will be observed that coalition has
been formed in the First, Seventh and Eighth
districts between the Democrats and Green
hackers, and that in the other districts all
three parties have different candidates in the
field. A comparison of the merits of the
individual candidates will result largely in
favor of the Democrats. Every man chosen
by that party is we'll known in public life
and noted for ability, integrity and sagacity.
Mr.. Davis, in the Second district, has occu-
pied seat in both branches of the legis-
lature from the city of Madison, and is we'll
versed in craftsmanship. Judge Cothren, in
the Third distript, long occupied seat on
the bench, and is honored for his high legal
attainments and powerful judicial mind.
Gems. Bragg and Bouck are too we'll known
all over the country to need introduction
Both made brilliant records during the war,
the former as the commander of the "iron
brigade" and in public life they have
achieved distinction and applause. Their
districts cannot afford to lose their services
in the next Congress.
OF the Republican candidates there is not
one above the low level of mediocrity intel
lectually. They may be good enough
fellows in their way, but there is no
danger that they will ever set the Potomac
on fire in case they should be sent to Con-
gross. For her own credit Wisconsin should
retain them at home, where they can adorn
society in a sphere for which they may be
qualified.
OF the prospects it is perhaps too early to
speak. It is to be feared that the combina-
ton of Democrats and Greenbackers in the
First district will be powerless to overcome
the Republican majority of nearly six thou
sand. In the Second district the Republic
can majority in 1876 was but 1923. A man
of Mr.. Davis popularity and energy ought
to be able to overcome it, and we believe he
will succeed. Judge Cothren will have
hard fight in the Third district. There is
no doubt Of the election of the Democratic

An Indian BrGre Kills AnOthcl Indian
and His Wife, and is ID.meaiuteyq
Executed by His People.
Correspondence San Francisco Chronicle
KLAwocK CANNERY, Prince of Wales Is
land Alaska, Aug. PA terrible tragedy
was enacted at the Indian village at this
place few days ago. An Indian was sitting
alone in his wigwam, meditating perhaps
upon the departed glories of his race, or,
more likely, upon the increasing obstacles
in the way of obtaining supply of the in
spiriting "hochenoo,'' when young mar
ried woman entered from neighboring
lodge, and, thinking the brave was asleep at
an unreasonable hour. she gave him smart
push, which threw him over against some
body or other which cut his face, causing a
flow of blood. The brave nuttered curse,
and the woman quickly retreated, thinking
but little of the accident, for an accident it
was, so far as the trifiing injury went. Moth
ing further TRANSFERRED that evening, the
damaged warrior remaining indoors nursing
his anger. The following morning when
the woman and her husband were quietly
eating their breakfast of dried salmon, and
anticipating no harm, the wounded man
walked into their hut, raised his rife and
sent bullet crashing through the skull of
the man. He then rushed upon the woman,
whipped huge knife from his belt, ripped
her open, and leaving husband and wife
dead upon the floor, quietly walked back to
his own cabin and closed and barred the
door. The murder created violent com
motion in the Indian village as well as in
the campery. An Indian council was held
and death sentence passed upon the MUIR
derer. Luckily for the cause of justice in
such cases, there are no courts of appeal in
this region to retard the prompt and merited
execution of a red-handed murderer, but in
this case there was the barrier of strongly
barred door, with desperate and well-armed
man on its inner side.
Urgent appeals were made to the criminal
to open the door and come out and be shot
all of which he respectfully declined. Fear
ing thath would escape in the night, a close
watch and guard were kept upon the hut
the whole settlement being on the qui vive
all night, expecting the shooting to come of
every moment. At 10 the next morning the
captain announced that he was ready. He
unbarred his door and stalked out, gorgeous
ly robed in flaming red blanket, his head
Respondent with pitch and feathers, and his
rifle upon his shoulder. Giving a few direc
tons to his executioners, he stepped forward
few PAGES, whirled through war-dance,
fired his rifle into the air, and fell dead
pierced by twenty bullets. AS the Indian
code exacts life for life, the friends OF
the murdered woman demanded the sacrifice
of woman belonging to the family of the
murdered-a brutal proposition which the
cannery men determined should not be per-
mitted, 80 they bought the woman off with
blankets and hochenoo. The remains of the
murderer and his victims were cremated
and Indian life resumed its usual monot
OnOuS routine.
