One morning last week a sleeping car
in circus train took fire near Greeley,
Col, and burned to ashes, ten men
perishing in it, and number were
badly injured in making their escape.
There were about 80 men in the car
when 1t took fire. The scene is said to
have been horrible one, for the noise
excited the animals which made the
darkness hideous with their roars and
howls.
AT Mr.. Robert Roberts personal re-
quest, we are authorized to say that
under no consideration will he allow
himself to he nominated for the legis-
lature. His business interests occupy
his entire time, and while approaching
the good will expressed by many
friends who have urged him to come
before the convention as a candidate,
he nevertheless positively declines to
do so.

HENDRlcKs in speech ut Corners
Vile, Ind, Wednesday, Remarked:
"They tell us that in New York the
Irish people are going against the DEM
ocrats, and that the laboring party is
not going for Cleveland, and all that.
II is not worth while to disturb your
mind about that. The freshman is a
natural Democrat" Mr.. Hendricks
WAS very considerable not to disturb the
minds of his hearers about the vote of
the Democratic Irish-Americans. II
makes the heart of the machine Dem
ocrut ache to think of it without it be-
ing told them by one of their standard
bearers. Ifthc "Irishman is natural
Democrat" he has been most unnatur-
ally dealt with bv the machine, and he
proposes to take this very occasion to
administer some extremely severe
kicks He has kept the breath of life
in the Democratic party just little too
long already, and now he proposes to
withdraw it and lei the old hulk sink.

Hon. W. ID. Bynum for Congress. 1t
will be remembered that the Demo-
cratic majority of the House of Repre-
sentatives gave English the seat to
which the Hon. Stanton J. Peels was
elected. The convention approved the
theft ofthe seat, but did not care to at
tempt vindicatlon of the act of the
House by re-nominating English.
