A Bought Nomination.

The nomination of Mr.. Bookwalter as the
democratic candidate for Goveror OF Ohio
appears to have been brought about
by the most scandalous and corrupt meth
ods. Mr.. Bookwalter il man of great
wealth. part Of which he is now using
to build an opera house. 1t IS stated that
he spent at least S2j 900 to obtain his nom
ination. He chartered special railroad
trains, packed the galleries Of the build
ing in which the convention was held
with mob Of hired claquers, and bought
majority on the second ballot. Delegates
were offered as high as 800 to vote for
him. The bargains were made in def
ant manner and with no effort at conce al
ment.
The result is that the better portion OF
the democrats are disguised and say they
will have nothing to do with the election
some Of them even go 20 far as to say
they will work and vote for Fosters cleo
ton Senator Pendleton who had been in
Columbus several days was 80 completely
disousted aud mortified when he saw that
all delegates disposed to sell out were
eagerly bought up by the managers ofthe
Bookwalter crowd. that he declined 30 20
the convention. but remained at his hotel
during the entire day. He was serenaded
in the evening but never referred to the
candidate that had been nominated nor to
the convention itself Other gentlemen
who were competitors for the nomination
have declared that they will have nothing
to do with the campaign. and some Of the
party papers have taken the same ground.
Altogether the nomination does not give
very bright look to democratic prospects
in Ohio unless Bookwalter can buy an
election as he bought his nomination. 1t
likewise shows that the democratic party
has made no advance in the wavs of
honesty and purity in politics notwith-
standing the claims of many of its organs
that it is the only party in existence which
is free from corruption and deserving of
the confidence of the people. II seems to
be so inherently corrupt that it cannot be
honest even when honesty would pay best.

After the Cow hOyS.

Four drunken cowboys began a dis
turbance at CAld well, Kansas, on Sat
urday morning. To preserve the peace
additional policemen were detailed,
among them being Michael Meagher,
ex.May or of the city. Early in the after
noon the cowboys began an indis-
criminate shooting, and one of them,
named Tarbot, fired at Meagher from
the rear of the building, killing him in
stantly. The citizens thereupon turned
out, with such guns as they could get,
and pursued the ruffians to a livery
stable. where one of their companions
a gambler named George Speer, was
killed by the pursuers. The cowboys, who
we're provided with horses, fed In the
direction of the Indian Territory, pur.
sued by the citizens. The fugitiyes were
oyertaken and "corralled" by eight
men in a brake eight miles south OF
Caldwell, on Saturday evening me
pursuers kept firing into the brake, but
one of their number, named Caldwell
was wounded by the cowboys, ,and,' IN tne
diversion this occasioned, the cowboys,
escaped. Their flight was discovered
Yesterday morning, when fifty we'll
armed men had reached the spot. Pur.
suit was then renewed by Captain

A few minutes before o'clock p. m,

ted in the heart of the city, caused a
general stampede Among the citizens
and people came running from every
the store window of Miss Lizzie Tur-
II RS trimming s0ore, on King street,
near Fourth. IL appears that one of
the lady attendant, took something
from the window, to show to q custo.
mer, and, upon placing it back in it's
former position, it caught in the lace
curtain, pushing it against the gas jet,
and Immediately thereafter, like a
flash, the whole window was in a blaze.
Mr.. Macklem, the butcher, just oppo-
site, rushed into the store, closed the
doors of the window, which were on tie
inside, preventing rhe flames reaching
other portions of the store. and the hre
in the window was eXtlngulshed with
two or three buckets of water. The
goods in the window were of the finest,
and consisted mainly of Christmas no
vel!ies.
The loss is estimated at about $40 or
$500, with no insurance, which Will Dc

For the first time in many years, the
notorious "Em" Jones, colored, was
bathed in tears last night, at police
court. Ever since she got out Of Jail,
some time ago, she has hardly drawn a
sober breath. Her mother, Mary Ann
Woodley, hard working woman, pre-.
ferred thc charge against Emma, and
stat. d that Emma came home drunk
all the time and always raised fuss
"She will not work continued the
prosecutrix, 'and I've kept her long
enough" At this junction Emma ex-
postulated, and wept, as she never
wept before, but her tears were with
out effect, as her mothers mind was
fixed, and she would not relent. The

which, will, no doubt cause Emma to

Accident rather than curiosity drew
me towards Judge Cox's court-rooms,
where spent this forenoon The effect
upon my mind amounted to COM.
plete reversion Of opinion and feeling.
! had imagined the trial a farce; it is a
tragedy. had dismissed Guiteau from
consideration as mrddymettled
! 'knave and fool He impressed me to-
day as a man of acute understanding
and, though laundering, a truculent
wit. l sat close to him; could see every
, gance OF his eye, every phase of his
expression, the slightest detail of poi iSe
anu gesture. The man is au excellent
actor. He has a capital stage grimace
laugh. | declare there were times
when he actually captivated me by his
well-timed interpretations and effective
by-play. | had come away precisely
as one who has witnessed n stirring act
In an eccentric drama, wherein all the
parts were well played.
Guiteau 10 begin with, could not have
played his part better. Of course he
overdld it, because the mimic world
and the real world cannot be made to
harmonize; but, rs u mimic actor on
real stage, he certainly cuts no mean
figure, and will go down to history as
absolutely sui generis-a sort Of weird
aud wizened aroLheosis OF dead beatism
All descriptions Of his personal appear
ance is at fault. He is simply brazenly |
and shabbily and s'antily genteel. HIS
vo &c, instead of being harsh and un-
natural. is both trained and taking: not
resonant ike the voice of voorhees,: not
cultivated to the pitch of Wendell
Phillips, but homely, IL vulgar cross
between the two, with touch of Null
berry Sellers aud a "reminiscences of Rip
Van Wrinkle. He is no more crazy than
| am He shot Garfield as the last des-
perate venture in n life OF obliquity and
personal discontinue.
All the other parts In this startling !
extravaganza are well imperscnated. |
j Judge Cox certainly presides with dig
nifty, and considering pros and cons, !
cannot see how he co,llu have avoided
ms dr9ll pageant. On the whole, l
think Corkhill leads the prosecution
exceedingly well, and ha, the ease
in hand. He thinks he is
sure OF "a verdict and agree with him.
10 is impossible for anybody to see this |
aud come away without be-
ing satisfied that morally, legally, in.
y and sentl mentally Guiteau
deserves to be hanged, and will meet
