The Coiners of Kansas.

Several years ago, and shortly after
the reconciliation Of silver, counter
feiting received o wonderful impetus,
aud the West and South especially were
flooded with bogus coin.
The large floating population and the
wilderness of the border country rem
dered the task of unearthing the coin
ers hard one, but after several seasons
of persistent and stealthy work, the
United States Detective Service became
satisfied as to tho location of at least
one gang of the "sharps," and Jack
Densmore, an experienced agent, was
instructed to visit Kansas, ingratiate
himself with counterfeiters, and learn
of their hauu is and habits. I
The duty was a dangerous one, but
the man selected to perform it had
faced danger, and even death, too often
among Eastern criminals TO hesitat a
moment; and it so happened that,
upon certain hazy September evening,
Densmore, disguised as dutch peddler,
dropped from the Western bound train
on the Kansas Pacific road, at the little
station of Black Wolf, in Kansas.
For o moment he gazed after the re-
treating cars, then turned, and in bro
ken English inquired of the station
agent the route to Wildwood Tavern.
Ivas What yon call shtrange NIT dis
part of de koundry,' said the peddler,
but frient of mine up de river, he say

of goods in dot koundry.'

do much trade, but l kin tell ye the

WHAT MY LOVER SAID"

BY the merest chance, i'll tho twilight gloem,
In the orchard path he mot me
In the tall wet grass with its faint perfume,
And tried to pass, but he made no room,
Oh | tried, but be would not LET me-
So stood and blushed till the grass grew red,
With my face bent down above ii,
While he took my hand, AZ he whispering said
How the clover lifted each pink, sweet head
To listen to all that my lover said
Oh! the clover in bloom--I love it
In tho high wot grass went the path to hide,
And the low wet leaves hung over,
But could not pass on either side,
For found myself, when I vainly tried,
In the arms ofmy steadlast lover
And he held me there and he raised my head,
While he closed the path before me-
And he looked down in my eyes and said
How the leaves bent down from tho boughs DER.

Oh the leaves hanging lowly Ger me.
Had no moved aside but little way,

And he knew never could wish to stay,
And would not have heard what he had to say,
Could only aside have cast him.
1t was almost dark and tho moments sped,
And the searching night wind found us;
But he drew me nearer and softly said
How the pure, sweet wind grew suill instead

That must be all unwilling;
For tried to 60, and I would have passed,
As the night was come with it's dews at last
And the sky with its stars was filling
But he clasped me close when would have fed,
And he made me hear his story,
And his soul came ont from his lips and said
How tho stars crept out when the white moon led

Electoral votes

BY the nomination OF thi rtl-term candi
date at the Chicago Convention these 6:
Electoral votes, which IN ay all be carried BY
any other Republican candidate, are not only
placed in extreme peril, but are SO confident
~ expected to be won by the Democrats that
tley feel they can even nominate Tilden and
elect him i'll spite of ali that Kelly can do,
and without the vote of New York. Of these
t5 Electoral votes, Tilden received 80 in 1876
against candidate who received every Re
publican vote in these States.
The loss Of the State of Ohio by the Re-
publlcans will elect Tilden, even if New
York vote for the third-term candidate. The
declslon in Ohio will turn on maintaining a
nominal majority OF only 1876 votes. Is the
success of the Republican party in 1880 to be
perlled by forcing upon the Republicans of
Ohio q candidate against whom a vast ma
]or1ty Of the party in the North protests, and
against whom an active Republican oppoAt-
ton exists, and where defeat is sforeshadowel
almost beyond doubt?

majority III Ohio be Overcome at the State
election, thus indicating the vote Ill Novem-
ber, the election Of the Democratic candidate
WILL nave become so assured 4 certainty that,
even If it be Tilden, Kelly's bolt, having lost

ment BY nominating q, third-ter1n candidate,

MIR. STOREY, for some purpose best known
to himself, is using his Democratic newspa-
per Just now to impress upon the Republican
delegates, who are arriving every day to at
tend the Chicago Convention, that the Illl-
nois contest is based upon some vague per-
sonal opposition to Gen. Logan, which the
editor Of THE TRIBUNE is represented rs
sharing with others who protest against the
outrage committed In the Illinois State Con-
vention under Logan's dictatlon. Storey ad-
mits that the delegates from the other States
are surprised at the magnitude and bitter
ness OF the local opposition " to the third
term tricks practiced in this State, and he
seeks to belittle and neutrallze this opposi-
ton by ascribing it to personal dislike ~
and personal animosity.r The manifest
design In all this is to divert attention from
the real issue in the Illinois contest.
Ihis scheme is a very weak and transna-
rent sham, the motive for which will he ra-
vealed before the Presidential campaign shall
be far advanced, and possibly before the Chi
cago Convention shall have adjourned. -
The TRIBUNE has no personal quarrel with
Gen. Logan. Had anybody on Arr. Wash
burne's behalf in this State Blaine in
his own State of Maine, or Sherman in Ohfo
undertaken to secure the same ADVANTAGE
by the same means which Logan has sought

FULLY as much mystery as ever surrounds
the "wheat deal " for this month, though so
near its close. It is certain only that great
deal Of wheat remains to be delivered on
May contracts, but no one seems to have any
idea Of how much is yet unproyided for. It
is probable, however, that no small quantity
will be delivered at the last moment, with
the intent to avoid receiving it back from
other parties Much feeling is exhibited by
certain parties who have tried to settle with
the longs, and been unable to fill except
as they could buy up car-lots from the
current arrivals The unwillingness to
square up may perhaps indicate that higher
prices will be asked on Monday. The ruling
rate for May during two or three days past
has been about S1.14 per busl1e1; while for
delivery in June, which may mean next
Tuesday, the same wheat can be bought for
about 81.o214. Some operators are inclined
to think that the longs will deliver the great
er porthbn of the wheat in store within the j
next two weeks, having already sold most of
it for June delivery, and perhaps sold short
in the hope Of filling more cheaply under the
depression caused by delivering out the

| The preliminary. frauds which, WaE9 em
| ployel to establish minority rule I'M th9 I'LL
nois Convention were tritllng as cobphrEd tc
the grand fraud which the Boss put Upon
| the party by means of the minority rule. A
| minority Of the Convention, consisting Of
| nine Congressional districts, with the con.
nivance and cooperation of Logan's boiters,
proceeded to appoint Grant delegates for the
State at large aud for their OWN DISTRICTS.
then rejected the a7tti-(tra1t delegates avho
aoerc appointed bU the legul representatives
Of the ten other districts Of the State, and
substituted Grant delegates to 1nisrcprcse1at
these ten districts. :Logan's minority was
not satisfied with usurping the rights Of the
popular majority, but actually insisted upon
DISTINGUISHING this popular majority alto
gether and absolutely. No "unit rule" and
no form OF instructions would alone meet
Seizer's demands, but he must have the
privilege Of appointing third-terners to mis-
represent anti-Grant districts. He would
not consent that the ten districts opposed to
third term should have the smallest chance
Of being represented in the Convention.
This is the TK1BUSE's ground for the fight
against Seizer's usurpation. His personality
does not enter into it except as he has
aroused popular indignation at the fraud
which he inspired and directed. When the
National Convention shall understand the
controversy as thoroughly as it is understood
by the Republicans of Illinois who have been
dlsfrancllised, the indignation will be shared
by delegates from all parts OF the country.
In fact, it has already been voiced by the
Republican press from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast.
1t is easy enough to divine Mr.. Storey's
purpose in seeking to divert attention
from the real merits Of the Illinois contest.
That person runs a newspaper which is
ostentattously independently between cleo
tons, but always intensely Democratic at the
critical moment. Like other Democratic
newspapers everywhere, Mr.. Storey's paper
would rejoice with great JOY over Grants
nomination. It Storey can make any dele
gates to the Chicago Convention believe that
the Illinois contest has no other basis than
that Of personal antagonism to Logan, and
thereby belittle or prejudice that contest, he
will have advanced Grants chances for Sc
curing the nomination in the most effective
way possible to him, and will thus have
served the Democratic party, which controls
him at election time. This is the secret Of
his defense OF Seizer against the latter's
t. personal enemics.''
