A Hard old Time.

the author, Prof. Grimmer, asserts;

pie. Besides plague, we will have

left alive by plague; and, finally,
"two years Of ire"-from 1885 to
1SS7-will rage with fury in every
part Of the globe. In 1887 the "Star
of Bethlehem will "reaprear in the
Oassiopia's Chair" the immediate
results being universal war and por-
tentous floods and sbipwrecks. North
America is again to be involved in a
civil war, unless Napoleon. arises
to quell it; but during these terrible
days the Pacific States will be a per-

The Coming Result I'm Ohio

From an interview with Don Pi-
att by the N. Y. Herald correspon-
dent:
"But you spoke just now of the
result in Ohio being what was intend
ed. What did you mean?'
II mean thatit was designed from
the start to give Ohio to tho Republi-
cans so as to kill Senator Thurman
and benefit Mr.. Tilden. This was
done through the nomination of Gen.
Ewing"
"Why DO you assert that that was
4 weak selection?"
"The weakest that could be made.
If you want Democrats to vote the
ticket you must put Democrats on as
candidates. The other thing was
tried with Greeley. Now, General
Ewing was born a Wing and bred a
Republican and the smell Of the coon
skin, as the heys say, is so strong up
on him that Democrats go to his
meetings with clothes pins on their
sensitive noses. He got into Con-
gress from a heavy Democratic dis
trict by the skin Of his teeth, and as a
candidate for Governor he has often

The Democrats, under tho lead of

The New York Democratic Con.

a convention of their own, nominated
John Kelly, known as BOSS Kelly oil

runs on the Republicans will carry the
State by $4,000, but the chances are
that Kelly will be bought off, still he
talks like lie meant business. Here
is what he said on his nomination:

with regard to the nomination of a

The Chisholm Murder Turned
Loose Upon the Community.

DEKALB, Miss, Sept, l2.-When
court convened this morning. for a
continuation of the Gully murder
trial, il juryman who had been sick
was provided with a bed upon which
he lay during the concluding argu-
ment of Judge Morris for the prose-
cution. The latter maintained that II
conspiracy was formed to kill CHS
holm and Gilmer, and that their ar
rest ON q charge of murder was a
step taken for the purpose of dis
armiug them and getting them in a
situation where they could not de-
fend themselves nor be defended, and
where they could be killed with less
danger to their assailants. udgc
Morris closed his argument at 1890.
The ease was then given to the Jury,
who, in less than half an hour, re
turned with a verdict of mot guilty
