Columbus, O., Jan. 3-The scramble for

which convelles on Monday, exce1s anything
Of the kind ever witnessed before since the
nomination Of Gov. Hayes, to the Presidency.
The new growth Of aspirants for political
glory have ripened into full-blown politi-
clans. Two years ago, when Bishop came
into power, the applications for place and
power under the Democratic Administration
was at that time considered large, but as
compared with the candidates that fa7efol-
lowed the members here for the past two
days, the Democratic horde was co1npara-
lively insignificant They have come In
swarms and droves, filing up the hotels as
completely as the crowds that assemble at

stating that Col. c. E. Hooker had,
at the battle of Stone river, taken
from a Federal soldier the personal

McCardle wrote a letter to the Com

stating that Col. Hooker was not at
the battle referred to, which 1t seems
the editor of that paper paid no at

to MI. Halstead, denying the char

Dyer ID. Lum, assistant Secreta-
nv of the National Committee of the
Grenback Labor party, has address
sed an open letter to the Hon. Thos.
II. Murch, a Greenback Represen-
tative in Congress from Maine, in
which he charges that the Green
back canvass is manipulated in the
interest of the Republican party,
and Gen. Weaver's expenses borne
IN q large measure from the Repub-
lican campaign fun. He says this
is a serious charge but he is prepar-
ed to prove it. He says $4,000 was
received from the Republican cam.

Weaver in his canvass in Alabams
and Arkansas; that Weaver's ambi
ton is to make friends with the Re-
and throw the election o
President in the House. Last May
when Lum reasoned with'him on tn
improbability of success in tina
case, he said he was confident tina
lit could be brought about through
an alliance with the Republicans
who held nineteen States in Con.
gress. The progress of the cam
lpaign has demonstrated that ever

The attention of the Republican
Southern Outrage Committees at

Dearborn in religious New Hamp-
shire. Last Saturday night, in that
good Republican State, A. j. Dear
born asked Jno. Elkins to 60, with
him in search of Mrs. Dearborn, who
had deserted him. Elkin complied
and while passing through thick
woods Debron suddenly turned on
Elkins, and told him he must die,
striking him simultaneously with
heavy whipstock stick. Elkins
seized a fence stake and knocked
his assailant down, repeating the
blows until Dearborn was overcome,
Elkins then drew a pistol and shot
him.
