FUSION IN IOWA.

The democratic and greenback leaders
in Iowa have determined upon a fusion
for the coming campaign. The idea of
both parties is that by combining they
can carry the state, or at least elect a
number of congressman. They base this
hope upon the results of the election of
last year, The combined greenback and
democratic votes on governor then was
only two thousand less than the republi.
can candidate received. Vile for supreme
court Judge the majority for the republi.
can candidate was only Sl7. On the
legislative ticket the result was apparent.

opinion, will certainly not vote for DIR.
Blaine.
But The most interesting gossip we
have had this past week about figures
comes from Pennsylvania. II it is true,
no wonder the friends of Blaine are a lit
tie nervous, Congressman Barr, of Har-
risburg, asserts THAT the vote of the
Pennsylvania delegation at Chicago will
be a surprise party to Mr.. Blaine's light
ming calculations" The subtle Col. Matt
Quay and the handsome and plausible
Magee sowed seed last winter, and they
did so after a number of interviews with
the administration that lasted till the cock
crew. SO it happened when the conven.
ton met Blaine's friends got the resolu-
tions, but Quay and Magee took the del
gates, something that has happened be-
fore in Pennsylvania to the sorrow of
Mr.. Blaine's friends. 1t is now claimed
by those who are keeping tally of the can
vass for Arthur's nomination that forty
three of the delegation will vote for Ar
thur and seventeen for Blaine. The ad-
ministration tally-sheet men also assert
| that after Connecticut gives its com.
plimentary vote to Hawley a majority of
its delegation will go to Arthur. This
seems probable, because the two mug
wumps of the Connecticut republicans,
Hawley and Postmaster Sperry, of New
Haven, are as warm supporters of Arthur
as there are in the country.
Such are examples of the way in which
the friends of Mr.. Arthur are setting
down their figures, and if they are cor
rect Gov. Foster is probably right wher
he says that the convention may be tn,
shortest one on record. To be sure, Mr..
Foster also predicts that 1t may be thu
longest, but he says that if either of tn,
two leading candidates gets over 37I
votes on the first ballot he will be nomi
mated without much ceremony on tn,
second, and MIR. Fosters condition Il
precisely what Arthur's friends believ'
will happen. If, however, Blaine ant
Arthur should about stand each other of
then there may come a long contest, be
cause all the politicians say it has beef
utterly impossible to make any combina
tions or subplots, and the new rules b,
which the convention will be guided vii
make stampediDg to any candidate almos
impossible. 1t is certain that there j
much less disposition on the part @
Blaine's friends here to toss their hats u
, than there was a week ago, and there i
something of a suspicion that some Q
them are whistlipg to keep their courag
up.

GENERAL BRIsTow's reply to Wayne
MacVeagh's bitter but uncalled for letter
is manly, dignifed and complete. 1t
leaves Mr.. MacVeagh in a position but
little better than that in which
Mr.. Edmunds left William Walter
Phelps. He refused to enter into all
the minute and petty s%quabbles with
which his correspondent had sought to
engage him and put the whole question
of the presidency on broad national
grounds. In doing this he has acted like
q statesman and patriot. There is no
reason whatever why the question of Sc.
lecting a president should be dragged in
the dirt of personal jealousies and quar-
rels. 1t is a matter of too grave impor.
lance for that.

Arrest Of n Mennonite Desperate In
Nebraska,

SENECA, KAs., May 2O.-Ex. Sheriff
Gleason, of Mcpherson county, Kansas
passed through here to-day with a horse
thief named Cornelius Nechtigal. He
captured him near Beatrice en- Monday
night. He had solo the horse and hired
out TO work or a farm. He is a Mennon-
ite. about % years old, and stole the horse
last June from a brother Of the same
faith. He went first to Texas, then into
the Indian nation, then into Missouri,
and finally to- Nebraska. The Anti-Horse
Thief association Of Mcpherson county
have been on his track a long time, and
he is sure to serve the state for several
years.
1t is pretty certain that he was in a
robbery and attempted murder case in
Texas. He has been arrested before for
horse stealing, but the Charge could not
be definitely proven, and the jury gave
him the benefit of the doubt. The
sheriff says he is elected tins time fol
the pen.
Nechtigal demurred at leaving Nebrast
ka without a reguisition fromthe governor
Of Kansas, bat one night in the Jail al
Beatrice made him glad to waive any
techrical scrnples Of that kind. They
don't furnish horse thieves with feather
beds in Nebraska.
Mr.. Gleason is entitled to great credit
for the manner in which he tracked and
secured his man. The fellow had q
British bull dog pistol in his coat pocket
but Gleason got into his room about
O'Clock at night and had the drop on him
baSore he could get out of bed and secur
ed she CUR, which he put in hn valise
after drawing .he cartridges.
On the way down yesterday the fellow
opened the valise while Gleason's back
was turned aud took out the pistol but
felt disappointed to find it empty.

AT last the railroad commission OF

more than a well-paid and well.dressed-
fgure-head. 1t has begun a suit at Ma,
son City in the name of the State Of
Iowa to compel the central of Iowa rail
roads to run its trains into Northwood.
The commission ordered the railroad te
do this several months ago. II persi sted
in its refusal and the suit was brought
under the provisions of the act passed
by the last legislature. This is not {
very important improvement, becaus.
the commission is still powerless to pre-
vent extortion or robbery or discrimina,

railroads csnnot laugh at every order o.

AT the council meeting two weeks ago
Councilman Bechel introduced a resolu-
ton, which was adopted, requesting the
mayor to send in a full list of his appoint
ments for the ensuing year. At the next
meeting Of the council Mayor Chase sent
in the name of one man, the chief of the
fire department, John II. Butler, and
made a verbal promise that he would
send in the remaining appointment at
the next meeting of the council. That
meeting took place last Tuesday evening.
but Mayor Chase failed to make good his
promise. This is trifling with the coun-
Gil, and Sinking responsibility.
The only plain and palpable
motive is to keep in office
an inefficient and corrupt marshal, who
would in all probability fall to be con
frmed if his name was sent in. Now,
why should the mayor persist in keeping
this man in office, when he knows that
by so doing he continues q reign of law
~lessness and corruptionl Mayor Chase
is not ignorant of the law. He knows
that 1t is the duty of the mayor to NIL
each appointive office .. the expiration o.
the municipal year in April. 1t is now
almost June, but with the exception of
one department officer and a few police
men no appointments have been made.
We are putting it very mild when we
say that Mayor Chase Is more or less
mixed up with this man Guthrie in trans
actions that are not very straight. This
impression has not been created by news
paper talk as the mayor imagines, but 1t
has been formed by the conduct of the
mayor and marshal, and the persistence
with which one is upheld by the
other. Marshal Guthrie and the mayor
have both demanded facts to SUSTAIN al
legged irregularities in the police depart
ment. An overwhelming array of fosts
has been furnished, not only by this pa
per, but by every paper in the city, and
yet the mayor turns a deaf ear, and says
this is only idle clamor from two or three
men. There are none 30 Blind as those
