the bounds OF probability for any democrat to beat

agement enough for democrats TO make the nomi-
ton desirable; but the second was By common con-
sent, given over TO the republicans. The Democratic
convention, after considerable discussion, LOma-
mated the man that was considered strongest, and
he declined. Then another one OF the prominent
leaders was named, but he also refused to make the

FEARFUL ACCUSATIONS N 4 NIHIIIST'S LETTER WRIT
TEN IN BLOOD.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Paris correspondent OF the,
Times forwards second letter, which was written
in blood by nihiliSt confined in the Troubetskei
bast1on at ST. Petersburg 1t describes the harrow
ing treatment received by the prisoners, and saws
their food Is often mouldy and sometimes putrid;
that dysentery and Scurvy are prevalent. and that
the doctor Is afraid to touch the patients. Few
medicines are prescribed. and when ordered they
are generally cOuntermanded. The prisoners rot
away and eXhale the odors OF dead bodies before
life is extinct. The number OF those who go mad
In consequence OF their suferfngS is daily increaS
ing; Madmen are strapped down and whipped
with the knOut by the keepers. Fierce yels re-
sound throughout the night. Many prisoners have
committed suicide. 1t Is said that one woman was
outraged and then poisoned. but no inquiries into
the affair were instituted by the authorities Rats
are the worst enemies or the prisoners woman
with babe was obliged TO be constantly on the
watch, and to fight night and day, to prevent the
rats from deyour1ng her child The use of combs
and soap Is forbidden, and the prisoners especially
the women, whose hair is allowed to grow are
literally devoured by lice. The jailers are only
kind to those having money. Prisoners who refuse
to reply to questions tortured and cases OF vio-
lation OF women are frequent. The writer espe-
cfay appeals to the civilized world in behalf OF the
women In the prison, whose situation, he says, is
far worse that that OF the men,
The Times says these allegations demand serious
Investigation.
