An Infamous Assault.

The &C, of spades is not blacker than the
midnight face of John Coffee. Coffee is a
shiftless coon and makes pecunious living
as rat catcher. Yesterday morning he was
srraigned at the police court on the charge
of disorderly conduct, but if vague rumor is
to be relied upon he will answer to-day to a
much greater charge. Night before last as
Mrs. Patrick O'Reegan was proceeding along
Robert street near Seventh, she was APP
preached by Coffee who made casual re-
mark about the weather. Mrs. O'Reegan
didn't pay much attention to thesleilow, as
he has been known for some time in the
neighborhood and has been considered per-
fectly harmless.
Mrs. O'Reegan was proceeding in the di-
rection of her residence and had occasion to
cross an alley between Sixth and Seventh
streets, on reaching which it is alleged that
Coffee seized her by the arm and tried to
drag her into the alley. His diabolical de-
signs were frustrated by Mrs. O'Reegan,
who made vigorous resistance and was
finally released. She proceeded home and
early yesterday morning Coffee was put un-
der arrest. Owing to the indispositon of
Mrs. O'Reegan the hearing was continued
until day. Coffee was bound over and
committed. The defendant states that he had
no intention of insulting the lady, but that
he accidentally ran into her, for which he
made instant apology.

Texas member of the National Republican

so that in case of defeat the odium would not
fall upon him and the gilt edged faction of
the party, of which Jewell assumes to be a
shining exampler. The next move to be
made is to demand of Garfield that he make
an arrangement with President Hayes which
will give Arthur control of the federal pat
ronage in New York. If Hayes accedes to
this, it is said there will be another oppor-
tunity for Conkling to have his revenge, in
asmuch as the removal of the present col
lector and surveyor of the port of New York
will be insisted on, on the ground that the
patronage of the custom house is absolutely
necessary to lubricate the campaign. A
story afoat anent Conkling is that he
will trade away the legislature
Conkling and Arthur understand each other
implicitly, and the plan is to elect Arthur to
the United States senate in place of Herman,
he having neither the hope nor desire to be

The Republican blackmailers have gone O
step further than has been their custom, as
may be evidenced by the following dispatch
from the Washington correspondent to the
Chicago Times:
A clerk in the treasury department, on the
first of this month, was surprised to find that
s2l of his monthly stipend of 800 had been
withheld. With the $50 handed him by the
distributing officer was a note stating that as
he. the clerk, had not responded to Nc
Pherson's circular, the amount had been with
held for campaign purposes. The clerk was
very indignant, and he would have protested
had he not learned that he was one of many
victims, and that any careless talk might result
in the loss of his place. ibis is the first time
that money has been deducted from the pay of
government employees in this manner.
One feature of the case has apparently
been overlooked by the blackmailers. By
Withholding the assessments from the sala-
ries of the employees of the government, their
officials render the government liable for the
amounts, and in case of q suit the amounts
would have to be refunded. 1t is thus ap-
parent that the Republican campaign fund
is being stolen from the treasury of the Uni
ted States.

Washington Gazette. /

WaSuluSLou 0dlette'
Something of the campaign chat tina viii
be heard this year upon the stump, in the
discussion of candidates, was heard in the of.
fee of Shellabarger & Wilson the other day.
Democratic general, who was in the Office,
said to Judge Shellabarger, who is one of the
most stalwart of Republicans: 'Do you
know that your candidate and his record
reminds me of story q doctor friend told
me the other day." "What was that?''
"This doctor friend had a man come In fol
treatment. Doctor said he, Il am power
fully sick man. sWhat is the matter?' Il
have the measles, the mumps, the scrofula,
dyspepsia, consumption, Bright's disease,
all the venereal diseases, in fact, doctor,
have got 'em all. You can't name anything
haven't got.'' "This," said the Demo-
cratic visitor, with cough, sis your csndi-
date"
Judge Shellabarger, who is too grim a
realist to ever Joke: said: 'Lst me explain
to you all that there has been charged
against Gen. Garfield. Everything that has
been said about him has been SO exaggerated
that, in common justice to Gen. Garfield,
you should listen to an explanation from
me-"
The Democratic visitor sat patiently while
Judge Shellabarger went through the usual
Republican formula in defending Gen. Gar
field. Would SO great man sell himself
for 1929? Was not on alibi proved2 Was
not the $4,000 in the De Golyer case for
five minutes talk with Boss Shepherd only a
proper legal fee? etc.
saWhen the learned judge, the counsel OF
Secretary Sherman in his Louisiana affair
with that agile Mrs. Agnes jerks, had con-
cluded, the Democratic visitor said: "DO
you know, judge, your labored explanation
of your sick candidate reminds me of anoth-
or story? Listen, and will tell it. Out
upon the western border there was once q
miners town, rough, rollicking, and rowdy

upon the other side. I at.onco got the drop
on him and put pill into him. He evident
ly was not fixed, for he ran like damcoward
around the corner. followed him pretty
sharp and shot him twice in the back. That
downed him. then Jumped on him, cut his
throat, and put four more pills in his head.
That is ever damn thing did, Mr.. Editor,
and don't you be lead astray by any exagger-
ated reports Of this thing"
Judge Shellabarger saw no answer in his
alleged parallel to his exP!asation.

THE WHOLE CROWD SICK.

"The whole party is united and harmoni-
ous," shout the Republican organs in chorus.
Garfield will receive the support of all the
adherents of Grant as well as all the friends
of Blaine and Sherman" Iu the face of
these assurances, however, we have few
significant facts. Don Cameron declined to
accept the management Of the campaign on
the plea that his health is poor and he stands
greatly in need of relaxation. Logan has
returned from the meeting of the National
Republican committee with corporal's
commission in his pocket, having been placed
in command of the western squad, but he
announces that he too is broken down in
health and will be unable to do any duty till
towards the close of the campaign, and will
make few or no stump SPEECHES. 1t is now
announced that Conkling, the chief of the
Senatorial syndicate that set out to nominate
Grant, is feeling badly and will sail for
Europe in few days on tour of recreation,
intending to remain abroad till the middle of
October. he will make no speeches during
the campaign nor take any active part in
the management of affairs, even for the
sake of his dear friend and faithful bench
man, Gen. Chester A. Arthur.
If this is what the Republicans denomi-
nate harmony and enthusiasm, they are well
come to it all and still more of the same
sort. They will be surprised to find what
90 Of xy;l1 lox,
the returns of the election in November.
II is not at all likely that it will swell the
vote for Garfield very materially.
The efforts of the Republican papers to
make the public believe that the party IS
still strong and likely to win the battle four
months hence remind one Of the whistling of
the boy when passing through graveyard.
It is all done simply to keep their courage
up. Day by day the brave soldier at the
head of the Democratic column is increasing
in public favor, and assertions from the
Republican party are increasing and multi
plying at wonderful rate. Unless some
thing is done to stop the Decentralization
there is great danger that it will become q
rout, and that Gen. Hancock will have
walk-over on election day.
The Democratic party was never more
united or more confident of success than at
the present time. It appears as if nothing
could now prevent it from sweeping the
country. Nothing, certainly, is ut all likely
to occur to prevent this contamination SO
devoutly to be wished. With all the old and
most popular leaders of the Republican
party in the sulks and doing nothing to as
sist.the candidates, their defeat is as certain
as that the sun will rise upon the morrow.

Inspector Benz called attention to certain
objections made by Mr.. John Wann against

n Characteristic Story In Which General

A war incident characteristic of General

served under the Democratic candidate on
the line of the Potomac in 1862. The editors

ed down, as it only can in Virginia. Being
used to house building or raising on short
notice, as nearly all western men are, the
soldier erected a hut of bushes and brambles
to protect himself from the storm. Present
ly the grand officer of the rounds, Major OF
the Thirty-third New York, came along and
ordered the soldier thirty PAGES in advance,
SO as to deprive him of the friendly shelter

"Who comes there p

reply.

ground, advance within five PAGES and give
the countersign," replied the picket.
"But friend, ah"-
"No talk, friend; dismount, lay your arms

and give the countersign,' was the sharp re-
tort.
The major dismounted and went through
the necessary formula. He had much diff.

Next morning the picket had to appear
before General Hancock to answer. The
major, with vengeance in his eyes, sat beside
the general.
"Well, my man, what have you got to say
to this?" asked the general of the picket.
"Nothing," was the reply.
"Nothing, what do you mean by that, my
MANI" commanded the general.

piled the picket.
"Major, state your charges" said Han
