A BUTLER TICKET.

The Greenback-Labor party of
Wasboe county met in convention at
Reno last Saturday, and nominated
Grove Holcomb, of Washoe; George B..
Hill, OF Ormsby. and Captain Frank
Cook, of Humboldt, for Presidential
Electors. The convention indorsed
Jerry Schooling. the Democratic nomi-
nee, for State Senator, and w. 4. Lem
mons, II. ii. Beck and William Henry
for Assemblymen.
AS Captain Frank Cook, of this coun-
ty, is an enthusiastic Democrat, and a
candidate for Assemblyman before the
Democratic convention, which meets
here to-day. the Greenback party
will have to remodel their electoral
ticket, or indorse Democrat for elector.

AN IMPOSING DEMOCRATIC DEMON
sTRATION.

The Democratic demonstration IN
New York city last week was the
largest and most enthusiastic political
gathering ever held in the Empire
State. There were 10000 Cleveland
torch bearers in procession. and it was
estimated that there were $4,000 spec
tators. The Star, the organ Of Tam
many, says the busy men of Wall street
laid aside their puts and calls, ledgers
and stock lists, and, in the afternoon,
listened to the persuasive eloquence OF
Dorsheimer, Sullivan, Solomon and
other campaign orators, and showed
that they took deep interest in the
campaign.
The Times, one of the Independent
Republican newspapers, commenting
on the demonstration, says if the Demo-
Gratis and Independent Republicans in
other States have not long ago dismissed
all fears about New York, these demon
strations, added to the news of rapidly
increasing Republican detection in all
parts of the State, will convince them
that Blaine has no more chance of get
ting the electoral vote of New York
than of Georgia.

THE OHIO ELECTION.

According to special from Ohio to
the New York Sun, that State will give
at least 10000 majority for the Repub-
lican ticket ct the election tomorrow.
This is considered low estimate, and
some enthusiastic Republicans claim
the State by $4,000 majority. The
campaign has been one of the most ex-
citing ever known in the State. Able
speakers have discussed the political
situation in every city, town and village
in the State. Money has been lavishly
spent, and, as the Republicans
have the advantage of having
by far the largest ''sack," they
count with certainty on a decisive ma.
jority tomorrow. Knowing that with
out Ohio Blaine would be virtually out
of the Presidential race, the National
Republican Committee has ursparingly
used the money collected from the
100, 900 Federal officials, and the large
contributions made by the wealthy cor
porations, to secure a victory, and as
money is as potent factor in Ohio as
in Nevada, the majority is expected to
be on the side Of the weightiest sack.

For march, for battle, for the couch.

When Hayniman crept DER the bridge,
Crushed by a sword blow in the heanf
How kind you were, for when he said
That he was thirsty, all you had
You gave in welcome, ana were Rlad
That you could case his thirst. We sighed
At his misfortune. Well, he died.
Much of the wars grief have we seen,
You and myself, my old canteen.

You were respectable looking then.

grasped you in my hand, and slung
You DER my shoulder: we were young.
Moth-eatcn now's your dusty coat,
And partly rusty is your throat:
But no new one shall come between
You know the men who kissed your lips.
Some died in battle; some in ships
Have vcnturcd far from port; and some
Still wear the uniform, hear the drum.
Some turned from tho good drink you

brought together large assemblaee
of the relatives and friends of the
dead There were the aged father
and mother who had been so suddenly
derived of the love and care of son
or a daughter by the cruel sea, the
brother who had lost sister or the
sister who had been so suddenly be-
reft of a brothers companionship,
and the children whose only knowl-
edge of their grandparents was that
they were dead, all were there pray
ing and singing in one great common
sorrow. The calamity, SO bouHdless
in its terrible extent, almost depopu-
lated the church where the 24sh IN
nIversarv was commemoratad.
Rev. Father Keogh conducted the
services, the altar was draped in
mourning, and the death music of the
organ was often the only sound that
broke upon the sacred Stiffness that
prevailed. Many handkerchiefs were
visible, many heads were bent low,
but there were no scenes, for the
grief was too real. KAeeling against
the railing of the altar were five aged
fathers and mothers, who had been
left childless by the awful visitation.
The services were soon over, and the
people began TO go out.

was a tremble in his voice. The

bound for Chicago. Although the

A FOREST FIRE.
Frightened Animals Flee for Their
Lives.
Naru Nor

New l OrR Tribune.
Black mountain, as if to add to the
pleasure of the guests on Lake George,
has been presenting a sight that, for
grandeur and magnifcence, excels
anything in the way of pyrotechnlcs
ever exhibited at Saratoga or the sea
shore. Tne mountain rises twenty
four hundred feet above the level of
the lake Across the spur called the
Elephant, the forests have been on fire
the past week. Broad sheets of flame
spread over the mountain slopes, as if
some fair leviathan was waving her
red silk handkerchief to attract the
attention of lover. The mountain
is overrun with various tribes of small
game, animals, birds, and, in certain
places, snakes. The fire has spread
over hundreds Of acres, and has Great
ed a perfect pandemonium among
them. Startled creatures fill the air
with their cries of peril. They moan
and wall as if turned from AN old
homestead by the cruel elements with
OUT a dollar of insurance on their
furniture. Larger birds, like hawks
and crows, soar above the seething
mass of burning pine and oak, while
the night air is filled with the dismal
hootings of huge owls. Occasional
roars of bears join the chorus, furnish
ing sepulchral bass to the grand ag
gregation of elements.
While some men were engaged in
combating the fire. they discovered n
huge she-bear trying to stamp out
large burning log with her paws. Two
cubs followed the exasper t. animal,
and as the mother m ,dly beat the hot
embers with her shaggy paws. the
young ones whined like whipped
children. The heat was too much for
the creature, and with blood stream
ing from her lacerated and baked feet,
she beat retreat. The men pursued
her, but gathering her children, "eveD
as a hen gathereth her chickens. the
sagacious beast soon put stretch of
fire between herself and her pursuers
Her victory was but transient. for
moment later huge tree, burned off
at the roots, fell with crash, knock
ing her over a precipice to the rocks,
four hundred feet below. The misery
of the orphaned cubs was heartrend-
ing, and their cries of agony filled the
air for a moment, and then both went
tumbling after their mother-and be-
came little bear angels.
Rattlesnake den is situated on the
north end of Black mountain. When
the danes reached that portion of the
mountain a stream of rattlesnakes and
blaeksnakes emerged from a chasm,
shouldered their tails, and beat a hasty
retreat for safer quarters. The hide
Gus reptiles fairly covered the ground
with their green and black sinuous
forms.
