A CANDIDATE WHO CANNOT
WIN.

The following extract is taken
from the Chicago Ne.os, of Tues
day, the Sd inst, before Blaine was
nominated:
1t would be we'll for the noisy
advocates of Blaine's nomination
now shouting themselves hoarse in
the lobbies of our hotels to reflect,
if they are capable of reflection,
that after the nomination of can
didate by the Republicans this
month will come another nomina-
ton in July, and after that an cleo
ton. 1t is all very we'll for them
to deceive themselves with the as
sertion that any Republican candi-
date the Convention may choose to
nominate can be elected, no matter
who the Democrats may name.
Any Republican candidate cannot
be elected. If the party wants
proof of this let it nominate James
G. Blaine. Among all the Demo
Gratis mentioned as possible candi-
dates it is difficult to think of one
whose nomination would leave the
result in doubt. As against Blaine,
Bayard would carry New York, !
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire,
Connecticut, Rhode Island, and
New Jersey. AS against Blaine,
Tilden would carry New York, New
jersey and California. AS against
Blaine, Cleveland would New York,
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire,
Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
AS against Blaine, Payne would
carry New York and Ohio. As
against Blaine, any respectable
Eastern Democrat yoked to local
favorite from Ohio, Indiana, Hill
nois, Wisconsin, or Minnesota
would make any one of these States
with the chances against
the Republican party. Blaine can
not win a single doubtful State
east of the Rockies. He will ieop-
ardize from one to six States that
have heretofore been unwaveringly
republican. If the party wishes to
save Pacific coast and lose the
Presidency, let it fall down and
the tatooed statesman.

An Austin Young Man Protects his In
nocence at the Point of a Pistol.
At about $50 o'clock Monday even
ing, one of Austin's young men who
wears diamond ring, came very near
having his ownership contested at the
hands of thug. His route home led
him by the postoffice, and, as
he passed the gas light at the
corner, he observed an individual
standing against the lamp post. He
proceeded up Colorado street to Bots
d Arc, where he turned to the left.
At the First Presbyterian church he
took the route leading around behind
the building, and on coming out on
the street beyond, just at the inter
section with the alley, he observed,
crouched in dark corner, the same
individual he had seen under the gas
light. Suspecting his motive
and remembering that the diamond
had sparkled with peculiar brilliancy
at the post-office corner, the young
man drew his pistol, and ordered the
would-be highwayman from his
retreat. Watching him until he had
disappeared in the gloom ahead the
happy possessor of the diamond
wendell his way to his couch, and
dreamed of bandits for the balance OF
the night

An Aged Invalid at the City Hospital
Knocked Down and strapped"
On Monday evening an outrage was
perpetrated in Austin which will and
should meet with the accommodation
of every true citizen. The scene was
the city hospital, and the victim was
an aged patient. He had started in one
direction, and refusing to obey the
mandates of one evidently in author
ity in the institution, was furiously
set upon, knocked down and unmer-
cifully beaten with a strap. That
such an occurrence should be subject
ed to the most rigid investigation
there is no doubt, and The Statesman
stands prepared to give information
which can substantiate the occur
renee beyond controversy, and if the
matter IS not looked into by the
proper authorities holds itself in read
mess to make the investigation on its
own hook, and apprise the public of
the details.

A Yeung Lawyer Mysteriously Disap-
pears from Austin.
Mr.. John w. Wilson, young at
torney, who came to Austin three
years ago from Baltimore, has mystic
riously disappeared. He left Austin
three weeks since for Houston to
transact some professional business in
which Messrs. Walton and Hill were
Interested with him. Since that time
n ,thing has been heard of him beyond
a report of his having been seen in
New York City. Mr.. Wilson officed
with Messrs. Walton and Hill. His
law books are all gone. and his bed
room furniture was disposed of prior
to his departure. Since his disappear
ance number of claims against him
have been developed, most of them in
the form of notes. 1t is still thought
by many that Wilson will return,
and that he will be able to give
plausiable explanation of his absence
and continued silence.

MisinfarnedIS

THE STATESMAN is glad to learn
that its informant as to Monday
nights occurrence at a residence on
East Bots d Arc street was in error.
The lady seems to have been suffering
from an attack of hysteria, to which
she is frequently subject, and the
struggle observed was only the result
of an effort on the part of the husband
to prevent her doing violence to her
self. The expression used by the
lady's mother was also misunderstood,
and was, "My daughter is trying to
XIII herself" It IS with satisfaction
that the correction is made. The I'M
fortunate lady is at present confined
to her bed from nervous exhaustion.
