Leggett. Of this city. whose name has
been mentioned in connection with the
Republican Gubcrnatorial nomination,
takes very gloomy view Of the politi.
cal situation in this state. In fact, all
the prominent Cleveland politicians

TO be very down hearted. not to say
positively despairing General Leggctt
was in Chicago the other day and a
Times reporter interviewed hlm. lie
said Senator Sherman would have been
the Republican candidate for Governor,
but he wouldn't have IT, III" said
General Leggett, 1--WE were not going to
have the proposition before Us for q re.
peal of the constitutional amendment
prohibiting the sale of liquor, which has
been thrust upon US by the Legislature,
Ohio would be all right for the Republi.
cans, and we could run Senator Sher.
msn for Governor and get him in train
ing for something higher up. It's a
great pity this temperance question
could not be kept out OF Ohio politics
this fall, for our state is the pivotal one
generally, which shows which way the
Presidency il going; but it won't do
at this time because OF our local trou
bles."
The General was further OF the opn.
ion that Foster has been relegated to
private life by the temperance question,
and that "the same thing has played
the deuce with the Republican party
generally" If II were not for local
questions the General seems 10 think
Ohio would go Republican, but things
being as they are he is very much afraid
it will 90 the other way.

IL the National Democratic party de-.
sires to encourage the South by any spec
ial recognition. let the Executive Com
mittee cause tho next National Conven-
tion to meet at Louisville. This is one of
the central cities of the country, yet il is
on the southern side Of the Ohio river,and
presents not only Southern characteristics,
but in marked degree represents the re-
viviaed energies of the new South. The
late Exhibition there was splendid adj
vertisement for various Southern States
and opened the eyes of doubt
ing thousands of Northern people
who before had but imperfect ideas of the
enterprise and spirit Of progress that per-
wade the country south of the Ohio. The
place is easily accessible by river and rail,
and has ample hotel accommodations for
the crowd such an occasion would draw.
The last Convention was held at Cincin-
natl, little higher up and on the other
side of the river. We see no objection,
political or otherwise, to holding
the Convention at the city Of Louis
vile, but many reasons in favor Of it.
This is not test question as to the national
character and sentiment of the Demo-
cratic party. The South has no demand
to make, but it would be gratifying to the
Democrats Of the South and West TO have
this sort Of courteous recognition. North
ern people who do not object to going to
expositions ut Atlanta and Louisville and
next year to the Worlds Cotton Centen-
nial, at New Orleans, certainly would not
object to the selection of Louisville on any
sectional grounds

Arkansaw, by Deputy Sheriff John Elst-

an early hour this morning, Stalcupp is
a ieweler by trade and wanted in New
port, Ark, for the murder of Captain
Redman, of q White river steamer, in
1874. The cause of the murder Is said to
be about woman Stalcupp was living
with at that time, and was rather unpro-
Voked.
Afler tho murder Stalcupp went to
Tyler, Texas, where he was arrested, but
was released on writ OF hAbeas corpus.
Ho then came into the Black Rayou
country, where he married and has resided
ever since, and at the time Of his arrest he
was constable Of the ward, and one time
was candidate before the Democratic
convention for Sheriff Of Caddo parish.
He is also wanted In Cass county Texas,
for killing a man named Kent, the latter
having been committed since he resided
in the Black Bayou country.

New York Tribune, ll.


Had Governor Cleveland proved him
self a man Of much size, or had he been
able to keep on speaking terms with his
party managers, he might have done
something But his name has dropped
like lead in midocean. Had General
Butler held Massachusetts,, he might have
drawn some votes, though not ofshe sen.
sible class. But his defeat gives his foes a
club with which TO beat him down. Had
Judge Hoadly possessed a tongue little
less dangerous than dynamite to his
friends, CT had he escaped the odium Of
Pocket Bookwalter's methods, or had he
secured majority big enough TO last q
year, he would have looked large. But
the persons who will take greatest care
not to nominate Judge Hoadly are the
shrewdest Democrats Of Ohio. In briet,
the new men do not wash. The Demo.
crats have to fall back upon the old stock

events have made Mr.. Tilden possibility

elements of positive strength. Mr.. Ran
dali has succeeded in getting beaten in
his own State, and has never been strong
with the Democracy of Western States,
whose generous spirit and whose long
ings for free trade he has thwarted. No
candidate from a former slave State will
be put up, If the Democrats want TO carry
doubtful Northern State next year.

70 seek a Western candidate, leaving
New York as too uncertain and treacher-

CHICAGO, November l6.-A s'ory is
published here this morning in apparently
authenticated form to the effect that the
body of Abraham Lincoln had been

Springfield to prevent the possibility Of
any further attempt by grave robbers.
The story runs to the effect that the re-
moval was made within a few days after
the attempted desecration of the grave a
few years ago. that the body was placed
in lead lined, air tight casket, and placed
in another portion of the monument, and
that its location is known only to a few Of
