Talk Of the Presidency.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. Rep
resentative Campbell, of johnston
Pa, speaking of the candidates and
prospects of the Republican party,
says in my opinion the Repullli-
can voters have made up their min DIS
to make tbs nomination of candi-
dates at Chicago. Any person who
is put up by ring will either not
make the nomination or else he will
be beaten at the polls. If the per-
sons who are put at the head ticket
are nominated fairly will be elect
ed, and If they are not, they will not
be. That is my solution of the verv
simple problem of the election of the
ne xt president"
In reply toa a question as to the
m ost acceptable candidates General
Campbell added: | consider Blaine
Il candidate, but not in tho sense he
was before If be gets the nomina-
ton it will be because the represen-
t tatlves of the voters at the National
Convention want him, and because
he represents more votes than any
other man they can name. In re-
gard to President Arthur, who is
talked of, the same rule applies.
Whether he can be elected or not
will depend entirely upon how he is
nominated, if nominated at all. The
Chicago convention will be a con-
yention of the Republican party,
and nay opinion is that the nominees
will be the nominees of the Repub-
lican party-I mean the whole ef it
an that means an election.

The Democratic Senate of Ohio
gave Hoadly, the new Democratic
Governor, a stinging slap in the face
last week, by refusing to confirm his
nomination of Hon. Charles Foster

Asylum. An analysis of the vote
shows that il was the new Senator
Payne's friends that thus gave notice
chat the Standard Oil Company is

his mind to an interesting time dur
ing his term, and at the expiration
of il to be snuffed out of politics as
was Senator Pendleton.

in. among whom were Sam, Jim and
Jack Nilburn. brothers and desper-
ADDE'S. Old man Andrew McCor-
mack dropped in later, between
whom and Sam Wilburn there was
a feud. Sam, who was half drunk,
proposed, as soon a. the old man en-
tered, tnat they should then and
there fight cut their grudge to the
death. Mccormack seemed to have
no hackers, and did not fall in at
once. but Sam Wilburn pushed mat
tiers. his two brothers supporting
him. Just then Cass Webb stepped
up and said to Mccormack You
take care of Sam, and I'll see that
jim and Jack don't mix in.
This produced a moments pause,
during which Mccormack trembled
like a leaf. and the three Wilburn
brothers exchanged glances, and
then stepping back, moved to draw
their pistols. Webb, quick as light
ming, drew heavy calibre self-ceck-
er, and commenced firing. Old man
Mccormack ran away upon the first
shot. Sam Wilburn fell by Webb :
first shot, pierced through the brain
The other two brothers returned the
fire, but Jack fell almost immediate
" and died in a few minutes, and
jim fell mortally wounded, dropped
his pistol, dying the following day.
Webb escaped, but is followed by
officers.

Almost DecapI'a,ed.

HUNTINGTON. January 30.-A
frightful accident occurred yesterday
in Dublin township, near Shade
Gap, whereby d. M. Peterson, a
lumberman, had his head almost
severed from his body. Mr.. Peter
son was engaged in making repairs
to the machinery OF the mill, and
while in the act of STOPPING for a
piece of lumber his neck came in
contact with rapidly revolving cir
cular saw and was nearly cut
through. His companions rushed to
his assistance and resC Cued him from
his perilous position, after which he
was conveyed to hi, home. Singular
as 1t may seem, MIR. Peterson contin-
ues to survive, althoug his recovery
is impossible The greatest aston
ishment is expressed that he escaped
instant death.

Returned From The Grave

LAFAYETTE, January 2S.-John
Ray, a farmer of this vicinity in the
year 1867 NOV seventeen years ago.
took let of cattle to Chicago, which
he sold, and was never heard of af-
terward. 1t was supposed he had
been killed for his money, and his
body thrown in the lake. Years
rolled on and no tidings of him COM
ing, he was given up for dead. His
estate, which was considerable, was
settled, and three entries stand upon
the records Of Tippacanoe County,
declaring John Ray dead, his wife a
widow, and his debts paid by order
of court out Of his property. A day
or two ago he put in an appearance.
He had spent seventeen years of his
life in Texas and New Mexico. His
old farm is occupied by a strange
man, who holds a clear title deed
for it. His wife is still living and
married, and his children some of
whom he left infants, are now grown
to manhood and womanhood. The
lawyers are endeavoring to ascertain
the exact legal statutes of John
Ray.

NEVER before were we so near a
Presidential nominating convention
without having at least half dozen
candidates frantically urged upon
the people by the politicians and
the press. New, while the names of.
halfa dozen prominent gentlemen
are mentioned as suitable candidates,
and their availability IS occasionally
discussed in desultory sort of way,
none of them has loomed up con-
spicuously, and not oneis attempted
to be doomed. This is a healthy
sign. going to show that the candi-
date will be selected deliberately
and after consultation, and not by
hurrah methods; and it shows also
that politicians have at last learned
that the race is no. always to the
swift. It's so far, a go as you please"
race, and the people are very delib-
erately taking a look at the field.
The Chicago convention Will, we
think. be a deliberative body, which
cool and dispassionate reason will
control. and in which the candidate
who has been most eager in his own
behalf. or in whose interests the
greatest amount of booming has
been done, will likely find himself
in the rear. "Favorite sons or State
| favorites. will count fer nothing
the call is going to be close, and the
demands of the hour are that the
nominee shall be a man not only
thoroughly fitted for the position,
bv a clean record, and admitted
craftsmanship, but with good run
ming qualities, particularly in the
doubtful States, which the Republi-
cans must carry, to ensure success.
The party Is not in condition to
take any risks that can be avoided,
and we think that it is a full appie-
citation of this fact by all intelligent
Republicans, that has given us SO
far, the cool, dispassionate, critical
analysis of the availability of the
probable candidates. A mistaken.
or a forced choice, would be well
nigh fatal, and this being generally
understood, deliberate counsel and
not hot headed yalor will, we believe,
control the choice of the conven-
ton.

THERE is said to be 'lo;s of fun
