Damned with Very Faint Applause.

The nomination of James &. Blaine
for President unquestionably gratifies
large ma. .ority of the Republican voters.
In forcing that nomination, however,
while his friends have displayed
fidelity and courage which must extort
admiration, we. fear that they have
acted at the same time with reckless
ness which may not only bring defeat
to their party, but political ruin to their
beloved leader and fearless champion;
for, while representing, without doubt,
very large ma or.ty of the Republic
ans of the whole country, Mr.. Blaine
does not represent, has never repre-
senteo, and probably never VIII repre-
sent that considerable portion of his
party which is governed by principle
rather than sentiment, and without
whose votes no Republican candidate
for President can be elected. If this
election can Ie carried by dash and en-
thusiasm and splendid leadership, the
event may possibly justify the audacity
of Mr.. Blaine's friends at Chicago, but
the chances are fearfully against him.
His character has been so Indignantly
blackened and distorted by the news
paper organs of the present Adm MIS-
tration during the strife for the nomina-
ton, and it is apparently so impossible
for the indiscrcet and unscrupulous
friends of Mr.. Arthur to support him
that the fight for Mr.. Blaine must be a
sort of forlorn hope at the best, a fight
only to be won by sheer desperation d.
ed by wonderful luck.-Buta'o Express.

Mobile Rines Awarded the First InfAntry
Pri.e---Grand Review and sham Battle.


5 DUBUQUE, Ia, June 20.-This was the
last day of the regular programme of the
military encampment, and was success
in spite OF a heavy rain in the middle of
the day. There were twelve to fifteen thou
sand people present. In the after
noon the result of the prize in
fantry drill of yesterday was an
nounced by the judges as followss
Mobile Rifles, first prize on general excel
lency, especially of manual, Treadway
Rifles, of St, Louis, second, on general ex.
cellency, and especially their skirmish
drill; Branch Guards, of st. Louis, third !;
Company d. of st. Paul, fourth; Company
of Muscatine, fifth, and the National Rifles,
of Washington, sixth. The cavalry
prize was given to the Milwaukee
Light Cavalry, who had no compe-
tition. In the afternoon there was a dress
parade of all infantry, cavalry and artil.
lery, they being reviewed by Governor
Sherman, of Iowa, General Kirby Smith,
General Gibbons, U. s. A., Commander
of the Department of the Platte; Ad-
jutant General Waddill, of Missouri, and
Adjutant General Alexander, of Iowa. Then
followed a sham battle. On the hill by
the camp-grounds were lines of earthworks,
redoubts, rihe-pits, and fort, one hundred
feet square, commanding the city. The
battle was planned by General Gibbons,
and the attack made under his instruc-
tions. Nineteen companies of infantry,
seven batteries of artillery and two
squadrons of cavalry participated in the
battle. An attack was made on the earth
works, which were finally captured, and
afterward by flank movement, the fort.
1t was very realistic,

GREAT Scare In Ensland Over the Latest
Parisian Fenian story-Death or the
Grown Pr,ace orthe Netherlands.

LONDON, June 21.-It is now officially ad-
mitted ut the Vatican, that serious threats
have been received against the Pope,s life
from dynamiters, and recently letter was
received at the Vatican from a source en-
titled to credence, stating that well ar
ranged plan to attack the Papal residence
by dynamite had been matured, and would
be carried out at the first favorable oppor-
tunity, the conspirators aiming at the life
of His Holiness. This startling intelligence
astounded the Cardinals, who at once held
conference, and immediately took steps
to foil the would-b assassins. An extra
guard Of picked men was posted around
the Vatican.
Sensational Paris dispatches, purporting
to contain revelation of the intentions Of
the Fenian leaders, has intensified the Lon
don dynamite scare. James Stephens, the
ex-Head Center of the American Fenians,
it is well known, has consented to revive
and lead Fenianism in smother warfare
against England. He himself recently an
nounced this fact. He has also admitted
that he meant to call a conference in Paris
of all those Irishmen who favored his plan.
This be described to be an open warfare of

is given as an instance of the many freaks

for by dozens of the most reliable men of
Uvalde County, who were eye-witnesses to
the occurrence. During the fearful hail

side of a large cypress tree, which was
struck by lightning. OF course, he knew
nothing about it. He found himself lying
in the water, which was just rising above
his head. He knew that he had been struck
by lightning, and was very badly hurt.
Not being able to use his legs, he managed
to crawl out of the water, up the bank,
through a ravine which the rain had partly
filed, and up another bank to a blacksmith
shop near Braden's store and the Postoffice
turning from supper, found what at
first appeared to be bundle of
