out before them, and lighted candles on

At the door were sold engrayings Of the
atrOcious scene, with verses written in
mockery Of the afflicted men, This in
human and shameful burlesque deeply

led him to reflect upon the helpless mis-

and, in spite Of the many difficulties and
discOnragements incident TO such an nm

was interrupted by the political changes
that followed the first revolution. Hav-

The Republican situation.

1t is now but two weeks until the meeting of
the Chicago Convention, and the remaining
State Conventions will be held this week. As
the time approaches, anxiety increases among
the friends Of the different candidates, and the
situation becomes more confused and doubtful.
Many delegates show disposition to vote SO as
TO represent their constituents, rather than the
machine managers through whose chicanery
they were instructed otherwise Others seem dis
posed to vote their own preferences, in the face
Of promises they made at the time Of their ap-
poiutment; and very large number, who are
holding themselves the fence, show strong
signs of casting their votes where they can
make the most for themselves, either IN ready
cash or promises Of position. Sherman is the
only one who has Offices to give, and he has
availed himself Of the means at his command to
secure every possible delegate. Grant is back
ed by the money power, whose willing instru-
ment he always was, and by the men who con-
trolled the public plunder. Blaine has neither
Offices nor money to give, and all the delegates
he gets will be through the Republican masses
who admire and believe in him. Bot as politics
and conventions have got to be grand system
of gambling, there is no telling who will win
very probably one who is the least deserving.
We have never been sanguine of the nomna-
ton of Blaine, and have believed and said that
he could succeed only through one of those pc
riodical uprisings of the people, as in ls4O and
1860, when political dctators wire-workers and
shysters are hurled aside, and the will of the
people is expressed SO emphatically that there
is no resisting it. Such manifestation may
still occur, in the present crisis; but it is more
probable that the machine and merchantable
element already have too strong foothold.
But the signs indicate that the third-term move
ment is demoralzed, and will fail. If it does,
James G. Blaine is the man to whom the coun-
try is indebted for it. He it was, and he only,
who boldly entered the strongholds marked out
and pre-empted by the third termers, stoutly
fought them inch by inch, broke their ranks,
and divided their delegations. Had it not been
for the fight made by Blaine, Grant to-day would
stand practically nominated without serious op-
position. But while he has probably throttled
the third and preserved the sacred exam
pie of W ashngton inviolate, be will not be apt
to reap any personal benefit from it, unless he
has clear majority in the Convention, which
is hardly probable. The thwarted and exasper-
ated third termers will concentrate upon some
body to beat him. While he alone made any
available fight, men have stepped in and taken
advantage of it by securing State delegations
for "favorite sons" The ambitious polti clans
are all jealous of Blaine, and will control all
the delegate over whom they have influence,
in favor of anybody to beat him. For these rea-
sons, the issue is uncertain, and the prospect is
that the machine will override the choice of the
people.

II For many weeks past, the Sherman pa
pers of Ohio notably the Cincinnati Gazette, have
been positively asserting that Grant could not
carry Ohio, if nominated, and that his nomina-
tion should not be oountenanced. Now that
same Cincinnati Gazette is singing sweetly to
Grant, and intimating that perhaps he is just
the man, after all. Reason: 1t is pretty evident
that the third-term is played out, and the Sher
NANTES are trying to appropriate Grants eff
fects for the benefit of their favorite. But when
it is once certain that Grants eyes are "sot, "
his managers cannot begin to control his dele
gates. They will scatter to suit themselves, and
a very large lump of them will go to James G
Blaine.

present contest in the Republican party for

very strangest is the fact (uever before known
in political history that Republicans ho want
the exact truth as to the strength, prospects and
standing of the several Republican candidates,

reliable estimates are wanted, such papers as
the Chicago Times and the Philadelphia Times
are drawn upon for them. As we stated last
week, the Republican papers of the large cities
are utterly unreliable, in this particular.

sion Board of the N. Z Church at Philadelphia to
assist in building churches in various parts of the
Conference. 1t is astonishing how many Of the
charges are building such houses An idea may be
formed, in looking the amounts asked for by the
different districts, when remember that only
small amount is given to each. Atehison District
asks for 500; Leavenworth, sI,sO; Topeka, 81 $50
Manhattan, 81, $50; Salina, $3.50; Belo $500 Kir-

great many "What is the object of the Conventioni

get home.
We are pleased to see your County Attorney, Thos
W. Heatley, figuring largely and prominently
among his associates. Tom is observant, and seeks
the most observant lawyers for his companions, and
his opinions on law points regarded with defer

q Ex Governor Robson is opposed to the
prohibitory amendment to the Constitution,
and proposes to take the stump against it. Such
men as Gov. Robson, who have been strictly
temperance men all their lives, take the wind
out of the sails of the Prohibitionists, whose
favorite argument is the cry of "Whiskeyites'
against the opponents of their measure. There
are plenty of just such men in the State, who
will oppose the amendment; and those who are
counting upon the amendment being carried by
$4,000 majority, or any majority, will be the
worst fooled men that ever struck Kansas.

II The officers and managers of the old Life
Insurance Companies, who are swindling the
stockholders out of their just dividends, in or
der to vote themselves salaries equal to the pay
of the President Of the United States, are very
much worried about the mutual or assessment
system of life insurance, such as carried on by
the Odd Fellows, Free Masons Knights of Hon
or, and other associations. They express their
firm conviction that this system will fail, and
gradually die out, because it is not based upon
the tables of the old compa nies, and offers in
ducements for stealing. But nobody ever heard
of the officers of the old companies stealing or
of the companies bursting, and swim ding the
policy holders out of hundreds of thousands Of
dollars. Oh, no!

Autumn day when the preliminary examination of
the two men commenced in the ricketty upholstered,
smoky, wooden court house. There were a great
number of witnesses present, many of them women.
There was no loud talk, but an immense amount of
suppressed feelings. The prisoners presented a
marked contrast in appearance. Candy was stout,
athletic young fellow, with brutal look, and an
ugly fashion of scowling, there being three four
wrinkles perpetually between his eyes. He sat in
court in his shirt sleeves and looked capable OF kill
the other hand, was small, very dark man, rather
delicate in appearance than otherwise with nothing
particularly striking in his look except pair of very
sharp, unblenching black eyes. The examination
lasted several days. and while it resulted in the dis
charge of Cummings and Candy, nobody's opinion
was changed. Those who had originally believed
that Cummings and Candy had killed old man Ian
dis continued in that faith.
After the lapse of considerably more than year,
and within lew days, the whole Ianuis trageuy mas

was undergoing his preliminary examination, as be-
fore stated his wife sat in court with him, thus man
festing true wifey affection. Since then. it appears
that Cummings and his wife have been bad terms,
and she has made statements in regard TO her hus-
bands connection with the murder. A man named
La Rue, who at tho time of the killing friend
of Dr. Cummings, has made q sworn statement that
Cummings had told him all about the killing OF Ian

the reputation of being dangerous person. with a

lived in Logan, disappeared, leaving his family, who
