WOu1d.be Bank Robbers Fooled.

DENVER, Sept. %. - Yesterday
morning the cashier of the, First Ma
tional Bank of Las Vegas, New
Mexico, became convinced that rob-
bers were %tunnelling from an adjoin-
ing building to the vault in the bank.
A guard was Immediately placed in
and around the bank. Those inside
observed the masonry of the bank
gradually sinking. The robbers be-
meath worked on ignorant of their
danger. At O'Clock a Mexican
volunteered to go down into the GEL
lar and investigate. He had taken
but a few steps on the stairs when he
saw some one coming. The Mexican
fired without a word and the man
TELL dead. The body was brought
out. Watchmen began tearing up
the floor of the bank and adjoining
building with the evident intention
O! shooting the robbers. Work is
slow, the men fearing to get in range
OF those below, who at times were
rushing from one shadow to
another. Up to this time nothing
more than this hide and seek game
has been done. The dead robber was
recognized as n of the masons who
built the vault. The excitement ia
Intense.

CARL SCHURZ.

The fact cannot be denied that
Carl Schurz' speeches in German and
| English have been listened to by i'm.
mense audiences wherever he has
spoken in the Northwest. They
have done much to make States
doubtful-notably Wisconsin--which
have heretofore been regarded as Re-
publican strongholds. His calm,
logical appeals and presentation of
party issues have reached the hearts
and minds of thousands of unpa1t;-
san citizens wherever he has spoken.
Millions are reading his speeches in
every part of the Union. Being
backed by the Independent organi-
zation, which Is not less active than
either of the two great political par
ties and is abundantly supplied with
the sinews of war, he is a powerful
ally of the Democracy. The true
story, clearly told by Mr.. Schurz,
who is the leading speaker on the
stump, at present. in the cause of in
dependence. is bringing thousands to
a proper consideration of popular in
terests. They are ftocking to the
standard of Cleveland and Her.
dricks individually and in organized
bodies everywhere. Probably the
greatest influence of Mr.. Schurz'
mastery orations is with the Ger
mans, but they are moving the minds
of all other Republicans to a degree
ne yer before known. The It'd Il wave
has set in. and that it will acquire
velocity and force as election day ap-
proaches must be apparent to every
observer of the drift of political SEN
timent In the country.

THE FIGHT IN OHIO.

A Columbus, Ohio. correspondent
of a New York paper in writing
about the political situation in Ohio
says: ut was the intention of the
Republicans to force the fight on the
tariff, but owing to absolute prostra-
ton OF business, this gun kicks.
Along the Ohio River and in the
Hooking Valley 1900 miners and
iron-workers are idle, with SO, 0OO
women and children depending on
them for bread, and their employers
are calling for the militia and are
willing to compromise on bullets, but
no bread, unless they 90 to work on
their terms. You can't talk tariff
and persuade a man of it's beauties
when he is hungry. You a show
him q table which tells him that he
as an American is getting 100 per
cent more than the paupers in Europe,
and he answers you that he is lot
getting any wages at all, and that
these European paupers have been
brought in to take his place at re-
duced wages. -Four out Of every five
furnaces and iron mills in Ohio are
silent"
TIE same writer has this to say in
regard to the Irish and German vote
of that State: "The Republicans
made special efforts with the Irish
vote early in the canvass and are still
giving them blarney, but after maxi
ing Roadway early in the canvass
they are losing ground now. The
Irish disaffection will cut no big 'un
in the October election. One reason
the Republicans have been powerless
to seduce the Irish in Ohio is because
of the abusive campaign made
against the Irish Catholics in 1875,
when Hayes ran for Governor
Tom Allen. The liquor ques-
ton is the one above all others which
will cut the biggest figure in Ohio.
The fact that Blaine's own State has
given SO. 900 for Prohibition has
alarmed the Germans here more than
even Blaine's speech the night of the
election, in which he says he
did not vote at all on the amend
ments, has amused and disguised peo-
pie Of all classes in Ohio. Last year |
here was a prohibitory amendment
md a liquor tax amendment submit
ed to the people of Ohio, and For
aker, the Republican candidate for
said in one of his first
'peeches that he would not vote at
Ill on the amendments, and for his
'owardice he was teaten by 1880

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM OF Sill
YER BOW COUNTY.

Resolved That the Democracy of Silver Bow
county in convention assembled heartily sub
scribe to the principles recently adopted in the
Democratic National Convention ut Chicago;
that we accept the same in detail and entirety
as not only correct, but essential TO the lrucst
welfare Of the country and the best interests OF
the citizens.
Resolved, That while as citizens of a Terri
tory we are deprived of many rights and privi-
leges which are i~nestimable to freemen, we yet
feel q deep interest in the triumph OF these
principles which the Democratic Iarty,
from the days of Thos. Jefferson to this time,
have always advocated, and when in power
have always illustrated.

II Is said the rumor that Pres
dent Arthur would like to succeed
Senator Lapham in the United States
Senate, whose term expires the
fourth of March next, is not denied
either by the President himself or bv
any of his personal friends, although
the matter has been I. entioned in
Eastern journals during the past
month. If a Republican is to be
elected to succeed Senator Lapham,
Mr.. Arthur is as safe, dignifed and
influential gentleman as could be
selected from the Republican partv
IN New York. Mr.. Arthur would
be a vast improvement over Lap
ham, who is dwarfed into insignif-
canoe by the intellectual giants sur
rounding him in the Senate chamber.

THE DEL

meeting Is the selection of . can.
didate for delegate to Congress. Al
far as we have learned but three
counties send instructed delegates to

Beaverhead have pronounced them.
selves in favor Ct Hon. George w.
Stapleton and Jefferson has ex-
pressed its choice In favor of Hon. J.
K. Toole. There may be other can.
didates before the convention but
these two gentlemen are, at present,
the leading ones. The Convention,
of course, may be safely trusted to
select q candidate acceptable to the
Democracy of the Territory, but
there are certain considerations
which should enter into its choice
that demand recogr ition at the
hands of that body.
Since the organization of the Terri
tory the Democracy of the West Side
has not had q candidate upon the
ticket for Delegate to Congress. 1t
has conceded that Office in every in
stance to our East Side neighbors.
But with its SO, 0O,,OOO of taxable
property aud its 1000 Democratic
voters the West Side can now enter
the convention with some claim up
on its favorable consideration. In
presenting the name of Hon g. w.
Stapleton for Delegate to Congress
the West Side presents the name of q
gentleman who is the peer of any
man in the Territory in point of
ability, integrity of character and in
all the elements which make . popu-
lar and successful candidate He can
be elected by a majority SO decisive
and overwhelming as to place the po-
litical status of the Territory beyond
dispute.
To accomplish this desirable end
the friends of Mr.. Stapleton should
not remain inactive. The fact can
not be nor need not be disguised that
MI. Toole will enter the convention
as a formidable competitor of Mr..
but we believe that when
the situation is thoroughly under
stood and the claims of the West
Side to the candidacy are properly
considered that Mr.. Toole's friends
readily concede the nomination
% Mr.. Stapleton. But as we have
said, the friends of the latter must
not remain idle. Every one of them
n Butte, and they r numbered by
he hundreds, should make it q point
attend the convention at Deer
tomorrow and urge the claims
# their favorite. Every delegate and
very alternate from Silver Bow
should be there and as the
uccess of the Democratic ticket this
all will depend largely upon the Sc
the convention makes, it
hould be made only after calmly and
ispassionately weighing the claims
fall parties concerned. Let the at
enhance from this city be strong and
Wisdom is evolved from a
Multitude of reasOners.

revolution which is going on in popu

party in rum. Mr.. Blaine has an able

which faithfully records and wires
every movement and utterance he
makes.
Logan also sees the necessity for
energetic action, and loses no oppor-
tunity to appear before the Western
grangers with the bloody shirt held
aloft. Logan and John Sherman
have appropriated that threadbare
article to themselves and wave it with
a vigor that would put to shame the
efforts of those who used it 50 effect

circle embraces only pronounced Re-
publican districts it would appear
that he is only concerned in holding
their majorities level.
AS for Butler he is the party and
platform of his following. Having
no organization no prominent speak,
ers, no press to speak of, noone whom
he can assess, no means OF crystaliz-
ing his supporters into compactness
only through his own individual ef-
forts, he is compelled to keep himself
before the people. He directs q trade
in one State, a swap in another,
and a fusion with one of the two
leading parties where his supporters
are too weak to stand alone. He is
the brains-the leader of the G
Peoples Party. His avowed
is to form a party that will
hold the balance of power in 1855, and
force one of the old parties to make
terms with him in that year. He
has no hopes of being elected Presi-
