every State will be there in person At
least half dozen Presidential candi-
dates will be on the floor of the Con-
vention. Thousands and tens Of thous-
ands Of spectators, drawn from every
section and Of every nationality are
there to shout themselves hoarse for
their favoritas, and to intrigue and
trade for personal advantages and flu
ture favors.
1t will be useless to speculate
late now to much extent on the proba-
bilties Of the Presidential nomination.
The telegraph will probably tell the
story near the close of this week mot
much sooner. There are many antago-
nisms to be settled before a platform
can be agreed to. The tariff, labor and
corporate power, the local interests OF
the East, West and South, are not al
fairs to be hurridly considered A pro-
trncted struggle is likely to arise over
the question Of a tariff for revenue only,
or tariff with incidental protection,
with chances decidedly in favor OF the
4 hitter.
II is evident that Gov Cleveland is
the choice of great majority Of the
4 delegates from most OF the States ont
side Of New York, and possibly major
ity Of that. How far the opposition OF
4 john Kelly may effect the action OF the
members from other States cannot be
! predicted even by tho allwise telegraph
mnnipulators. If Tilden persists in re-
fnsing the position the contest appears
/ likely to be between the friends OF
\ Cleveland, Thurman, Mcdonald and
4 Field. Fields candidacy has been
slighted, bit he will poll q heavier vote
than many applehend After all it is
not among the impossbilIties that the
old ticket may be taken mp with Il great
hurrah, and carried over all opposi.

THE NEW REGISTRATION LAW.

idaho will test the merits OF registrn-
tion for the first time this year. II Is
remarkable that the Territory has ex-

would imagine that such q law would
be pmoDg the first required IN amy we'll

eat In their morals, to require any re-
striction In this matter, has been dis.

raaealities which in past years have dis
graced Idaboelect and do something
toward re-eehoing the real voice.
The statute requires tho Board of
County Commissioners at their regular
meeting in July next preceding any
general election, to publish list of the

and notice that the agents will register

at their July meeting shali designate

cents for each name entered between

applicant is required to swear that he is

Thursday Evcninr-A Meeting OF the Blaine
mud Logan Officers. No.
There was very well attended meeting
OF the line anis taft officers OF tho Blaine
and Logan regiment held at the Lincoln
Club room last evening. Invitations were
read to attend demonstrations at Wash
ing,on, Pa, Moundsyille, Benwood and
Cameron during the present week, but it
was decided that it would be impossible
to accept any OF them in view OF the fol-
lowing facts: First, The men are once
more nearly all at work, and anxious
to get a little ahead, and would not
feel like sparing the time or money.
Second, Next week will be cleo
ton week, and they all want to be able
to do what work in the political field
thev can up to the very last moment.
The third and most important reason is
that on Thursday euening, the night on
which the regiment is wanted in two OF
the invitations, General Golf IL to speak
in the Eighth ward.
1t was resolved last night to have the
regiment ordered out ior that occa.
sion. 1t will be ordered 10 rendez-
vous on Main street, right resting
on Twelfth at ! o'clock sharp. Marching
10 the McLure House it will escort Gen.
Golf from there to the place OF speaking.
The indications are that there will be q
good turnout OF all the companies, as Gen.
Golf is deseryedly POPULAR and the men
will delight to do this escort duty.

when size got TO tho penitentary, and by

cd to her home and nothing was heard OF
her again until her recent famous raid on
John W. Shannon, Esq, and q party
OF surveyors who were running tho
boundary line OF piece Of ground Mr..
shannon Ind purchased. Mrs. Warren
thought the object OF the party wns to en-
croach upon her rights and privileges, and
with shotgun In her hnnd She made n
raid upon them, putting tho whole party
to flight without injuring any Of them.
Mrs. Warren was nottist,.bc1 again until
last week. Mr.. Shannon, says the Bell.
aire Independent, which tells tho story,
wanted Il fence built around his farm,
and he employed Joseph Barker 10
build 1t. Barker knew Mrs. Warren,
30 when he went 10 building the fence he
took his shotgun along. They had not
worked long until the wolnun appeared OIL
I the scene with u gun. Barker sided up
along the fence to his gun aud picking il
up he ordered tho woman TO Leave. She
wasn't that kind OF ~ woman,
and showed fight ut once. Barker
] pulled up and banged away, in.
lending to make his shot close enough to
scare. Tho shot scattered and some OF
them took effect in her left cheek, and ono
penetrated her left eye. Mr. Shannon Is
ut the seat Of war, and n warrant has been
issued for the arrest Of Mrs. Warren, who
was the aggressive purity. She will prob
ably not lose her eye, though It is seriously
injured. There Is 10 talk OF the arrest Of

orally conceded that he did right.

boy. lie LETT here in 1859 when but a lad
and went with his parents TO Cincinnati,
where he studied music and finally went
on the stage. lie has been here but two
or three times since. The last time he
was here was with Ford's Opera Company,
when he sang ia "Iolanthe." His father,
James S. Drew, was, along i'll the iii,ics, Il
compositor on the lNTELLlGESCER and for
time was foreman, and when he left
here to 90 to Cincinnati it was TO uccept
the foretnanship on the Commercial, which
position he held for long time. At ,ht
time he was here he was also member OF
the fine grocery firm OF Drew 4 Drake,
which had its stand under old Washington
Hall, about where Lewis 4 Clemens bar
Der shop now stands
Many OF Whecling's older citizensdoubt.

Drew in the shape OF Il small lad about
this grocery store. Mr. Drcw's mother
will also probably be remembered by old
residents. She was one OF the most prom
inent local singers OF the day. Mr.. Drew,
ST., was also musician and they used TO
give local concerts assisted by others, as
the singers OF TODAY do, in Which Master
