from the probable result. In closing
the Eagle says: "In view OF the
apparent determination of the Republi-
cans at Washington to so shape the con-
duct of the Government that only one
party can be safely trusted with its Ad-
ministration in their opinion, the up
roofing of this un-American heresy,
through Democratic success and a re-
turn to the old political methodsin the
administration Of Federal affairs, is OF the
first consideration, and whatever pres
tige OF success is brought into this great
contest either by the ascendency of Mr..
Thurman and his friends in Ohio or by
the more ample vindication secured
through Tilden's rightful election four
years ago, will be hailed with satisfac
tion, not only by every true Democrat,
but by every citizen OF the Republic
who is content with Republican rule
and who is determined to uphold it, not
as mere form and shadow, but in its
substance and reality" gs.

CHICAGO, June 3.-The following is
the result of the judicial election yes
terday in Cook county: Democrats
Rogers, 30,32l; MCAllister, 25,9l6; Mo-
ran, 25,6l7; Barnum, 25,2l8; Foley, 3D.
or. Republicans-Booth, 1886; Buell.,
1879; ROsenthal, lS,46S; Williams,
1929; Reed, $l5,043. Average Demo
cratic majority, 1928. For Supreme
Court Judge, the majority Of Dickey,
Democrat, over Dent, Republican, was
1884. In the Twelfth circuit the Re-
publicans elected all their judges. The
reports from the State at large are scat
tering, but indicate that where partisan
nominations were made the Republicans
generally elected their candidates by
small majorities. The vote was very
light, especially where there was only
one ticket, as happened in several cir
cults.

LITTLEToN, June ., 1879.
The trial of the Red Men held here as
prisoners, which was to come off to-day,
has been postponed until Thursday
morning at 9 o'clock. Each of the pris-
oners was held in 81 900 bail, for their
appearance on that day. The reason
for the delay is, that the State could not
get all the witnesses here before that
time. There seems to be a good deal OF
uneasiness aboutth this place tonight. The
town is flooded with people from all over
the county.

Special Dispatch TO the Register
LITTLEToN, w. Va, June 8.
Everything passed off quietly'in this
place to-day, although-it is crowded with
people. Nothing was done in the exam
ination of the "Red Men," owing to the
fact that some OF the most important
witnesses had not as yet gotten in.
Special Officer Petit has been out all
day serving summonses on witnesses,
and up to this hour, eight o'clock, has
not returned. Justice lie Master is
ready to open court Immediately on his
arrival ID ~. ~
Two more men named in the warrant,
Sampson Ullone and James McCul-
lough, came in to-day and surrendered.
There is a feeling OF returning courage
among the prisoners, and this afternoon
they insisted upon being examined at
once.
