rAcy.
We ralrked yesterday that the Gin.
rinnIi CaHrention was coerced into the
nomination Ol Gen. Hancock. The real
fho.Cs Of that body was, more than any
GSs'Rln, Senator BIyard, Of Delaware.
liz intecelentS suited the large majority
dIar delegates vastly better than those Of
HiHcock. There WAS as little as possible
a awmnoa between IIancock's general
Neltl and their preferences and prsju.
ti1s, A man Of D1yard's well understood
dra' aud sympathIts was the sort Of a
IA they really wanted. Therefore Han.
seis nomination was an accident

ilrl RayGrd on the altar Of expedIency.

lsptood to have been opposed to the a
znraut acts OF Congress that hav
strained the South and adapted life thel
b the results Of the war, he Is col
lenIAl candidate TO the Democracy, but
10 other respect.
Gen. Hancock, like Chief JusticS Chas

rare to be Presidential candidate.

A Marvellous Escape.

WHEN within two miles of Goodelrs,
on the Skagit, Mr.. Moore's partner
stopped to have talk with another
miner, giving him about one hundred
yards advance. Just at that time Mr..
Moore heard and saw ice and snow
moving on the mountain side above
him, and almost simultaneously he was
caught by whirlwind that deprived
him of consciousness. Strange to say,
when he came to himself he found he
was struggling in the water, six hundred
yards from where he stood with his
back on the trail. This miraculous es-
cape from the coming avalance was be-
cause he was carried by the rush of
wind in advance, which landed him in
the river, the rapid current taking him
down past the thousand tons of ice that
shot across the stream like a ball from
the mouth of cannon. Mr.. Moore
drifted down the river with his pack
lashed to his back, occasionally hitting
bottom, until he caught in the lee of a
large bowlder rock and there hung, the
drifting ice rushing past. Ropes were
soon procured, and by strenuous efforts
Mr.. Moore was rescued. Seattle
