to attempt TO deiude It's people py PROM
Uses from the Republicans of an amend
ment Of the B~urlingame Treaty, and regu-
lating and restricting Chinese immigration.
Garfeld's individual record as a legislator,
will be their point Of test. The change
made among the Workingmen's party will
| give California to Hancock. We don't ex-
pect to have Kearney. He may be useful
to the Republicans. The changes from the
| G~reenback votewill he in our favor.
Farley said of the doubtful States in the
| pending contest: They, in my judgment,
are Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wis
consin. The Pacific side of the country is
strong for Hancock. Garfeld's record on
the Chinese Question is unsatisfactory.
Colorado may be counted for Hancock and
English. There has been a large immigra-
ton into that State, and most of it from
Democratic sections. Citizenship is there
acquired by q short residence, and the new
element will give US a victory at the ballot
box. Hancock's nomination was like an
inspiration it enthused the Convention,
and the enthusiasm has extended to all
sections of the Union. No other man
before the Convention could rave been put
forward with the enthusiasm, and carried
it with the prestige Of popular favor that
Hancock has. Doughety's speech was in
spring, and from that on Hancock's name
carried all before it, both in the Conven-
ton and out Of it. He will win, but per-
haps not SO overwhelmingly as the present
promises.
Grant Says the Democrats Hit the
Nail on the Head-A Republican
Split.
CHICAGO, July 12.-The Times Wash
ington special states that while General
Grant was coming from Emporia, Kansas,
he said the Democrats had hit the nail
square on the head in nominating Han
cock, whose record he admired, and while
he had nothing to say in depreciation Of
Garfield, he thought that candidate had
too many volumes of Congressional de-
bates behind him for a smooth canvass.
The Times says: The Republican split
in the First Congressional District of
Minnesota is generally deplored by the
members OF the party in that State.
Warder, the boilers candidate, would be
acceptable to many Democrats, and as the
District has II large Republican majority,
it is feared that the Democrats may en-
dorse and elect him over Dunnell. Efforts
are being made to effect a compromise.
1t is possible that another Convention
may be called.
An urgent appeal for money is made by
the Washington Gazette, Democratic or
gan, which ~solicits contributions averag-
ing IS each from 300, 900 ex-Confederate
soldiers, and an equal amount from the
Democratic soldiers, who fought on the
Union side. In this way it is expected that
about $4,000, 900 can be raised for cam
paign purposes.
Strange Case OF Suicide.
OMAHA, July 1.-THE city was greatly
shocked this morning when it became known
that G. II. Collins had committed suicide
between II and l o'clock. During the night
while alone in his bedroom he stood be.
fore q mirror. and placing arevolver to the
right side Of his head, just above the ear,
he sent q bullet through his brain, and
dropped upon the door a corpse. His wife
hearing the report jumped from her bed in
an adjoining room and ran in and found
him lying in front Of the bureau in his
drawers and undershirt. with the blood
oozing from his head. He had already
passed into eternity. Deceased came to
Omaha from Galena in 1854, and was an
intimate friend Of Grants, who upon be-
ing elected President gave G.. II. and J. s..
Collins the post leadership at Fort Lara
mle, which they yet hold, and from which
they derived o fortune. Deceased was an
enterprising and successful business man
and respected citizen, and head Of the firm
OF G. H. and ]. 8. Collins, Of this CITY,
wholesale leather, saddlery, and harness
dealers, and also the head Of the firm of
Collins d Petty, wholesale dealers in uns
ammunition and sportsmen's goods. The
public are at a loss to solve the mystery,
but generally assign the cause to tempo
rary insanity, probably brought ON by
liquor, Of which he had partaken quite
freely during the last few days. He leaves
a wife and daughter.
A Destructive Flood.
WATERLOO, To-, July 12.-Yesterday, the
Dry Run, which crosses this city, became
suddenly flooded by the heavy rain which
has been general in this section, and the
first and second wards were soon under
water. Dwelling houses and all kinds Of
property were endangered. The Fire De-
partment worked heroically in rescuing
property and saving life. The railroad
track OF the Burlington, Cedar Rapids q
Northern was three feet under water - q
distance OF 500 feet. The water was niue
inches deep on the floor Of the Congrega-
tional church, and three feet deep on the
Opera House floor. The water subsidized
nearly as suddenly as it came. Two boys
and a girl were drowned. The damage to
property amounts to $685. 900. Reports
from the ~neighboring villages state that
damage has also been sustained there, on
account OF the wet weather and food.
Beecher's Sermon.
New YoRK, July 12.-Mr. Beecher, yes-
terday, in his sermon bidding his congre-
CATION farewell, before leaving for the
White Mountains, denies the story Of the
New York papers that he had abandoned

Bible, accepted the doctrines of the Trinity
and the atonement, and said: From out
the subtilties and puerilities Of medieval
and modern theologians, / believe in the
sublime simplicity Of the Apostles creed.
which he repeated to his congregation.
he added: II I I'm Q hereto, / am . here
tic after the pattern Of the early church.

New yoRx. July l2.-Ths Herald says
Of Kearney: There Is still . chance for
him 10 become respectable by mounting
his dray and teaching rowdies by example
how to make . living in some other way
than by stealing; but such . course would
compel him 10 keep his mouth shut. which
would cause him unutterable agony.
